Sweet Thang, by MajaLi (Explicit)

Fandom: SUITS
Pairing: Mike/Harvey
Length: 13,656
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] maja_li
Author Website: AO3 page and lj masterlist

Why this must be read: Because maja_li's writing is crisp, her humor sharp and her characters really, really spot on. Because this deals with one of my favorite tropes, which is Mike figuring out how to be an adult, at least financially. Because Harvey here has just enough humanity and dorkiness. Basically, because it's awesome.



What? No. Focus, Mike. Where is the money going? You're not spending it on pot, you'd kill yourself if you smoked that much—"

"The money isn't going anywhere!" Mike snaps, suddenly understanding, and Jesus Christ he's never blushed this much before in his life, why is he starting now? And with Harvey, of all people. "It's – I just like knowing I have it, okay?" he continues, trying to be quiet. "In case my grandma needs the hospital again, or there's an emergency, or—" Mike swallows, forces himself to continue. "Or, you know, I get fired. From the job I'm not supposed to have in the first place."

Harvey is silent for a long moment.

Then he smacks Mike on the back of the head.

"That's
it?!" He laughs, an unfamiliar, raucous laugh that lights up his whole face and turns heads all around the fountain. "Oh, rookie." Mike winces and flaps ineffectually at Harvey when he reaches over to ruffle Mike's hair. "I'm going to have fun with you."
