    Summary

    Jessica folded her hands on her desk and studied him, which was deeply unsettling because Jessica Pearson was a woman who did not study things. She just knew things. And then made you suffer for them.

    "I figured it out," she said at last, a smirk tugging at her lips.

    Harvey kept his expression neutral. "Figured what out?"

    She leaned back in her chair, looking far too pleased with herself. "You and Mike."

    His brain short-circuited.

    "I—what?"

    Jessica arched a perfect eyebrow. "Oh, don’t play dumb, Harvey. The touching, the joking, the absolute disregard for personal space. I should’ve seen it sooner, but in my defense, I have an entire firm to run."

    Harvey blinked. "I—wait, what?"

    Or, instead of getting fired for hiring a fraud, Harvey gets congratulated on his 'relationship with Mike'. Well, as long as Harvey gets to keep his job, he can pretend to date Mike. It's not like they actually have feelings for each other, right?

    Summary

    The annual harassment seminar was, without question, the least favorite day of the year at Pearson Hardman. Even Louis, who thrived on rules and bureaucracy, was known to grumble his way through the presentations, eyeing the clock like it was a lifeline.

    For Mike Ross, this was his first experience with the mandatory training, and he was already regretting it.

    Summary

    It started late one night in Harvey’s condo, a few hours after he’d left work.

    Harvey had been sitting on his couch, nursing a scotch and flipping through files when his mind drifted to Mike. Not an unusual occurrence. But as he thought about their day—the quick back-and-forth banter, the way he’d fixed Mike’s tie without asking, the lingering touch on Mike’s shoulder after a meeting—a creeping sense of unease began to settle in his chest.

    At first, he tried to dismiss it.

    It’s just how we are, he told himself. Mike doesn’t mind. He’d say something if he did.

    But the more he thought about it, the harder it became to convince himself.

    Summary

    What happened instead was Harvey saying, very evenly, "Get out of my office," and when Mike had opened his mouth, "No. Out. Done. You're banned."

    "You can't ban me from your office."

    "Watch me."

    And that had been that.

    The thing was, Harvey had clearly expected the ban to function the way bans conventionally functioned, which was to say he had expected it to keep Mike out of his office.

    This was a reasonable expectation to have about a ban. It was the kind of expectation that worked on normal people, on associates who had something to lose, on anyone with a functional sense of professional self-preservation. Mike had a lot of things. A functional sense of professional self-preservation was not really among them.

    So.

    Summary

    The first time Mike broke into Harvey Specter’s apartment, it was for an extremely valid and professionally responsible reason.

    Which was exactly what he told himself while kneeling in the hallway outside Harvey’s door at eleven-thirty at night with a bent paperclip in one hand and six hundred pages of merger documents tucked under his arm.
