I’d like to say a huge thank you to my beta, Pauraque, for his excellent suggestions, all of which made this fic significantly better.
I also want to tip my hat to Writcraft for their portrayal of Millie in Independent Love Song. It’s a wonderful fic and is entirely responsible for my headcanon of Millie as a talented butch tailor. I urge you to check it out if you haven’t already.
Finally, thank you to our wonderful mod for all her time and effort spent running this fantastically diverse fest.
Summary: Pansy had heard the others talking about Millie's new style, claiming they'd always known she was a dyke, but Pansy was increasingly at a loss as to why that was a bad thing.
It wasn't that Millie looked pretty – she didn't – but she certainly wasn't plain any more: she was striking.
