Notes: Thanks to nuclearsugars for various bits of advice (and also for a title that wasn't "Romancing The Stoner" - you don't know how close I came, seriously), and eldee for the beta.

This is a de-anon from hs_merlin 2012 and unless anyone has a particular yen to read it on LJ, I'll just keep this post for linking to the AO3 post. Because ughhh, character post limits.

Title: Needs Must by thatotherperv
Fandom: Suits
Rated: Explicit
Pairings: Harvey/Mike

Author's Summary: When Grammy needs an upgrade in care, Mike knows that the usual one-off gig as a paid submissive won't be enough. He takes a job he's been refusing for a while - a long-term, full-time contract. He expects his client to be a sadistic asshole. He expects not to like it. He's wrong on both counts.

Why I Loved It: First up: THIS IS A WIP. I know, I know, I am a bad person to rec you a wip. But damn, look how long it is! And good lord, it is extremely readable. I actually stayed up until 2a.m. to finish what's been posted so far (like 22 chapters or something? I don't know. A LOT, anyway.) It's also an AU, but as the tags on AO3 say, 'all roads lead to canon'.

So! A couple of times in my life I've been super-into a show or something and yet not really fallen into the fandom because I've had really specific desires for what kind of fic I want to read (I'm looking at you, Life On Mars) and haven't had that much interest in reading anything else.

Well guys, this is that fic. This is exactly, exactly the fic I want for this fandom and these characters. Make no mistake, the kink is there, but it's not kink for kink's sake (not that I object to kink for kink's sake haha. All the kink!), it's gorgeously well thought-out and beautifully described. As you'd expect from Harvey, the kink negotiation and contract revisions are done with real attention to detail and careful language and just, ugh, wow, I love this fic to pieces.

Be warned! The angst, when it comes, will smack you silly. Which isn't to say that it arrives out of nowhere, the signs are there but holy crap, it's well done. I cried. And not just because it was 2 in the morning. I'm really excited to see what happens next.
