Summary
Runway is the battlefield, not the prize. Miranda Priestly, seductive manipulator and strategist versus Andrea Sachs, Nigel’s replacement and Anna Wintour’s ex-protégé. What, exactly, are they fighting for?
AU in that the story takes place three years after the movie which, incidentally, did not have Andrea in it but another second assistant who tossed the phone in Paris. Miranda is slightly younger (48), the twins are slightly younger, too (9) and she’s been divorced from Stephen for two years. Miranda got Nigel the EIC gig at Runway France. Before he leaves, he has one month to find and train his replacement...Andrea Sachs, recently from Vogue. Andrea is older (35), married to Nate who is a stay-at-home dad to their four year old daughter. I also took the liberty of ‘cherry picking’ scenes/dialogue from the movie for this fanfic disregarding chronology.
Usual disclaimer about nothing is mine, not making money, etc. applies.- Language:

Summary
“Apparently your students have gotten to talking with my students,” Barbara tells Melissa the next morning in the teachers lounge.
“That’s hardly ever good,” Melissa smirks, knowing her kids too well.
“Your class told my class about the bracelets Xavier made for us. And now they’ve decided that if we’re ’work wives’ we should be married for real.”
Melissa laughs, taking a sip of her coffee, “They want us to actually get married?”
Barbara sighs, “Not only do they want us to get married, they’ve already started planning our wedding for Friday.”

Barbara and Melissa get married. For the kids, of course. Only for the kids. No other reason.(All chapters now rewritten and updated as of 11/17)!!
