Harvey Specter Doesn't Do Gay Panic by thatotherperv (explicit)
ETA: 12/23, 2 am. GUYS I AM SO, SO SORRY. LJ crashed as I was writing my post, and I didn't realize it until it was too late. To make things worse, I work nights, so I had to leave for work before the site was back up and I had a chance to make sure everything was ok. I really, really apologize for any inconvenience this caused; I did everything in my power to fix it before I left.
GOD I'M SO EMBARRASSED.
Ok, so here's the actual version of tonight's rec. >_<
Fandom: SUITS
Pairing: Harvey/Mike
Length: 9500ish words

Why this must be read:
I'm a sucker for a sexual identity crisis in fic. I really am. I'm even more of a sucker for fics where Mike calls Harvey out on something.
Needless to say, I was a very happy camper after I read this fic.
Harvey flirts with men.
Jessica's word, not his. He'd put it more like...well, charm as a verb leaves a bad taste in his mouth. Calling it that makes it anything but.
It's the closest word he has, though. For that tone he gets when he's really in the zone, and he knows he can push someone right into the corner where he needs them – with facts and case law and logic, of course, but if he really has to, on force of personality alone.
Flirtation – if you have to call it that – is just another tool in the box. Alongside obfuscation, deception and intimidation. In some ways, more effective than all of those combined. Give anyone that buzz of feeling interesting and important, on the inside of the joke, and you're more than halfway home.
So yeah, ok. He flirts with clients, judges, and opposing counsel. He does it to close a deal, to make transactions easier, and build working relationships he can cash in on later. And he does all this without the slightest hint of shame.
He does not flirt with men for sex. Not because that would be shameful, just because...because. He just doesn't.
Harvey flirts with men for profit. Until he meetsRick Sorkin Mike Ross, and it starts being for fun.
