Fandom: SUITS Pairing: gen (Mike, Harvey, Louis) Length: 2294 Author on LJ: not that I know of Author Website: AO3Why this must be read: I love the concept of this fic. Mike makes a deal with the devil. The devil is Louis. Brilliant.

No, he thinks and then: "No," out loud, to nobody, "not yet."
It couldn't be. Not right now. Not right now.
Whatever he was hearing, whatever he smelled, slowly disappeared, blowing away, drifting, and Harvey sighs, runs a hand over his face and presses the tips of his fingers against his chest, feeling his heart. It pounds, beating his ribs like a punching bag and he draws in air through his nose. A chill settles inside his bones.
Ten years, he realizes, really could just fly by.

Fandom: RÓMEÓ ÉS JÚLIA Pairing: Mercutio/Tybalt Length: 562 words Author Website: fic on AO3Why this must be read: This fandom as a whole tends to sad backstory and sad porn, so the occasional fix-it where everything isn't misery is a refreshing change!
