Grace Williams: fangirl edition

Louis will be mid sabotage effort when he just stops glaring and asks, "Oh by the way, are we still on for brunch this Saturday?" and then Mike will also pause and give a very cheery "Oh yeah, definitely. You pick this time," before immediately dropping back into a sneer and taking files from him

Everyone is very confused by the seemingly random switches, and when pressed about it both parties just say that they're friends outside of work. Immediate cut back to the two of them glaring at each other across the office and making threats on their lives

The person most perturbed by all of this is, of course, Harvey. He doesn't even pick up on the fact that the two hang out until months in when he just so happens to overhear them talking about something related to a hangout

He is immediately overcome with a BURNING anger thinking that perhaps Mike is betraying him for Louis of all people. He sort of stews in it for a while slowly getting more and more agitated, snapping at Mike more because of it before Louis finally pulls him aside one day

Turns out Mike talks about Harvey a lot during these hangouts, but not in the way that Harvey was thinking with betrayal and subterfuge. Instead it turns out Mike really looks up to Harvey, and has quite the crush on him. Not that Louis explicitly said that, but he sure did imply

Louis basically tells him to get his head out of his ass because he hurt his friend's feelings by being mean to him for weeks on end over some stupid assumption instead of talking to him like a grown up

Harvey tries pressing by saying that Louis is using this "friendship" to try and sabotage Harvey or turn Mike against him and Louis just looks at him like he's stupid. He's like, "That kid would rather kill everyone in this building and then himself before even THINKING of doing anything even slightly harmful to you"

Cue Mike walking in and Louis straight up asking him if he would rather work for him instead of Harvey and Mike gets the most DISGUSTED OFFENDED face ever before physically recoiling and saying "Never in a million years. You suck"

Then Marvey kiss and live happily ever after and get married and Harvey has to put up with Louis showing up at his and Mike's shared home for brunches and such

Highlights include:

For your first two years (when you were small) you lived in a foster home with people who raised you into a very polite young man. Two is like you plus me, that's what two is.

Some people adopted you before me and they called you Timmy (which is a stupid name) and they returned your ass almost immediately because you were so annoying at that age.

Like think about how annoying you are right now at seven years old, but way worse.

I'm better than them though, I don't call you Timmy and I wore earplugs to bed for three years because you love to scream at bedtime. Earplugs are like when I roll over and go back to sleep even when you are yelling so so so loud.

I got you at a time in my life when I was really sick (being sick is like when I'm up late because I'm throwing up and you are a very handsome good boy who sits with me) and they had to put me asleep for a procedure. A procedure is like what happened to you when they put you asleep and took your balls away.

canon is what happens in the text. e.g. merlin tries to poison morgana

a headcanon is a fact that you have personally made up as an elaboration of canon. it is your invention. e.g. i think morgana and gwen had a teenage lesbian situationship before the events of canon. or, i think modern morgana would love evanesence.

an interpretation is how one reads the existing text. it is not an invented fact nor is it a headcanon, it is a reading. e.g. i think merlin tries to poison morgana out of misplaced self-hatred. or, i think that one line was delivered with suppressed malice and shows a nuanced relationship.

fanon is the general fandom’s accepted headcanons and interpretations that elaborate or recontextualize canon. e.g. merlin is a badass waif and morgana is a bitch.
