Summary
Merlin had been hiding not just one enormous secret, but two. First, the obvious one: the whole magic business. The second? That he was an omega.
He’d been taking suppressants for over ten years. They’d worked perfectly—until they didn’t.

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?"

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.

Summary
Mike had crossed that line somewhere around his fourth drink, maybe his fifth, the exact number blurring into an impression of confidence and warmth that sat loose in his chest. He laughed too easily, leaned too close, talked with his hands like he always did when his thoughts ran faster than his mouth. Harvey watched him from the other side of the small round table, nursing a scotch and pretending he was not counting.
Mike had been celebrating. That was the official excuse. He had won an argument with Louis earlier that day, which Harvey privately considered less of a victory and more of a temporary ceasefire, but Mike had insisted it counted. Harvey had let him have it. A few months ago he would have shut this down before it started. A few months ago he would have left Mike to get plastered with Rachel and gone home alone. Things changed quietly, the way they tended to with them.

Summary
"It’s a checklist," Harvey said, his tone half-amused, half-disbelieving.
"A checklist?" Mike repeated.
"Yeah," Harvey said, shaking his head. "Looks like something I wrote when I was a kid. A list of things my ‘perfect partner’ should have. I think it was supposed to be a ’fun’ school assignment?"
Mike’s face lit up. "Oh, you have to read that out loud."
Harvey gave him a look. "It’s ridiculous."
"All the more reason," Mike said, grinning. "Come on, Harvey. Enlighten me. What did Tiny Harvey want in a partner?"

Summary
He wasted so much time waiting to hear the words from Harvey. It was months, years, so much wasted time. And it took him longer than it probably should have to realize that while he was waiting for Harvey to admit that he felt this too, this connection between the two of them, strong and unyielding and overwhelming, that Harvey had already told him. He had said it in every touch, every look, Mike was just too blind to notice.

Summary
When this thing between them started they had very clear rules and definitions. It wasn’t to be spoken of to anyone. It wasn’t to be brought into the four walls of Pearson Hardman. They weren't in a relationship, didn’t have feelings for each other, just enjoyed the time they spent together and then went their separate ways. And they were both totally fine with that.

Summary
Harvey stares at him. “What are you doing?"
Mike gestures at the laptop in front of him. “Working.”
“If you were working, you’d be at your desk,” Harvey says, and when he takes a clipped step forward, Mike realizes he’s in trouble.
“You’d be at your desk, where I can find you when I need you." Harvey’s arm drops down on the table, pinning Mike against the edge as he stares down at him. "So I’m going to repeat myself one more time. What are you doing?”
...
When Kyle points out that Mike is always being babysat by Harvey, they make a bet. Mike just has to spend less than ten hours with Harvey in a work week. It'll be easy.
Probably.

Summary
“Stay away from Harvey Specter if you’d like your head to stay attached to your shoulders. He’s always been an asshole but since the accident… you’d think he was trying to defame God himself for killing that kid.”
“What kid?” Mike asks.
The man finishes off his drink, “Tragic stuff. An associate at his firm - everyone knows Harvey had a soft spot a mile wide for him and now he’s going to destroy this city over a freak accident."
...
Mike Ross wakes up at the scene of an accident with no memory of how he got there. Naturally, he calls his best friend and slips back into old habits. What are the odds Pearson and Hardman lost an associate with the same name in the same fire?
Bizarre, but Mike Ross isn't a lawyer.

Summary
“The—the deal,” Mike repeats, agitated. “Did we close it? This morning?”
Silence. The beeping from Mike’s vitals monitor continues steadily. Mike stares at Harvey. Harvey stares back. Mike doesn’t think he’s ever seen Harvey speechless before, but that’s the word he’d use now, as Harvey’s mouth opens and nothing comes out for a solid five seconds.
Finally, Harvey finds his voice. “You passed out in the middle of a conference room and you’re asking if we closed a deal?”
Mike blinks. “Um. Yes.”
Mike has appendicitis. Harvey has a realization.
