“Don’t you think it was a little bit too early to make him senior partner?”

The voice cut through the serene atmosphere of the office like a hot knife cutting through butter. The woman who was standing in front of the wide glass windows, that gave away to a beautiful view over the subjacent streets and the hundreds of skyscrapers that lined up along them like rows of dominos, and tilted her head; knowing that the man who had asked the question would elaborate further without her having to voice her own thoughts.

Never say more than you needed. Always let others fill in the blanks. It gives you power. It gives you control. It makes you untouchable.

“I know what you’re thinking…” the man continued. The woman raised one eyebrow questioningly, because she seriously doubted that statement, but she let the other continue. “That it was me who pushed for it, so shouldn’t I be happier, but I didn’t actually think that it would happen so soon.”

Where’s my highschool teacher au?

My Surgeon and Paramedic who only meet occasionally but are totally head over heals for each other au?

My unwilling companions on a long journey together au?

FBI agent au?

Send me and ask (not a message) with a number and a roman numeral and I will tell you the fandom, paring and a short synopsis of what I would write

1.iv) you give me a different fake name every time you come into starbucks and I just want to know your real name bc ur cute but here I am scrawling “batman” onto your stupid cappuccino

Fandom:  Teen Wolf; Pairing:  Sterek;  Synopsis:  All Derek wants to know is the name of the fidgety man who comes in with the indecently long fingers and the freckles he wants to trace with his tongue. But every time the guy comes in, he give Derek a different name:  James Bond, Han Solo, Bruce Wayne and ... Batman.  What is it going to take to get this guys’ real name?

5.v)  You live across from me in our apartments and we smile when we see each other but we don’t really know each other and oh you’re the stripper at my friend’s stag do/hen night fuck this is really uncomfortable

9. Fake dating or arranged marriage?

Summary: Harvey pours his (shattering) heart into the preparations for Mike’s bachelor party.

Written for Marvey Fic Challenge #72– “the way we were.” Also posted on AO3.

Harvey poured his heart into the preparations for Mike’s bachelor party. He selected the most exceptional food and drink, he hired the finest entertainment— the finest available, given Rachel’s strict limitations— and he even blackmailed Trevor into showing up with a smile.

At the party itself, he hangs back, sips his scotch, and watches Mike, even more enchanting than usual as he jokes with his friends and laughs loud and clear, his eyes sparkling.

Harvey needs another drink.

—

“Hey,” Mike says, taking a seat by Harvey as the party winds down in the early morning. “You’ve been quiet.”

“I’ve been an utterly charming host, and all your friends would say so.” He pauses, contemplating. “Maybe not Trevor.”

Mike bursts out giggling. Harvey gives him an indulgent smirk.

“But seriously, dude—”

“What’d I tell you—”

“Duuuude,” Mike repeats, “you haven’t talked to me all night.”

Harvey stares down at his half-finished shot— his sixth? seventh?— until Mike grips his chin and forcibly turns his head around, and Harvey finds himself drowning in the blue of Mike’s eyes—

“I can’t do this.”

“Do what?”

“Be your best man. To be a best man, I should be a good man, and a good man wouldn’t want the things I do.”

“Huh.”

“What?”

“Sounds like you don’t have what you want, but Harvey Specter always gets what he wants. Logical conter— contradiction, right here.”

Harvey’s eyes flicker down to Mike’s lips, mere inches away and yet infinitely far.

“No,” Harvey murmurs, “he doesn’t.”

Mike frowns, straining to puzzle his meaning out.

I’m very happy when I open the window in the early morning and the air is chilly. And I’m saying this because it’s starting to get hotter and I miss the cold already.

Folding the laundry. No, seriously. Sometimes if I am Not Anxious Enough I’ll leave it there for a couple of days waiting to see if I get more anxious, so I will have my relaxing laundry ready for the occasion.

I like letting people skip past me in line at the grocery store when I have a whole cart full of stuff and they have like one (1) bottle of oil and two bags of pasta. They look at me like I’m the second coming of Christ, it’s quite the ego boost LOL.

When I sit down to write because I’m full of inspiration and the words flow and I sit there for hours.

.........Black Sails. If you didn’t think this would come up you probably haven’t grasped the magnitude of my obsession with this show yet.
