Mike's and Harvey's Blog

So, apparently, @writing2reachyou is curious about our take on this… Luckily, Harvey is in an extremely laid-back mood right now, which is why I was able to coax him into doing this. My mouth on his cock every now and then helped of course. So here we go:

1) Put your iTunes on shuffle. Give me the first 6 songs that pop up.

me: Something About Us by Daft Punk, Closer by Kings Of Leon, Heart Of Mine by Peter Salett (WHAT???), The Element Song by Tom Leher (drives Harvey nuts, believe me… :D), Shake It Off by Taylor Swift (shut up!!!)

Harvey: too much Miles Davis, faaaaaar too much Miles Davis…

2) If you could meet anyone on this earth, who would it be?

me: Alicia Silverstone - she and Harvey need to have a Clueless-off! You won’t believe how good he is!! Ouch, Harvey, stop that!!!

Harvey: Harvey’s not talking to me right now but probably Miles Davis

3) Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, give me line 17.

me: I’d have to get up (or Harvey, but that’s not going to happen, I’m not moving either way) or recite something from memory. And all the books I ever read are equally as near to me in there, so it’s an impossible task. You’re not getting any.

Harvey: Shit, he actually got up and nearly threw me out of the bed doing so… Anyway, he’s back now and he’s reading to me, wait a minute…

desk that day– “I can’t wait any longer, I’m going in.” I say to

(btw, that’s from Miles, Miles Davis’ autobiography… *rolls eyes*)

4) What do you think about most?

me: Harvey!

Harvey: “Yeah, me too.”

5) Ever had a poem or song written about you?

me: Tess once wrote me a birthday poem when I turned 16. Let’s not speak of it ever again…

Harvey: “a song” (and that song is beautiful, I can tell you… that was me again, btw, in case you were wondering…)

6) Do you have any strange phobias?

me: nope, all good here

Harvey: “skinny ties, but that’s not a strange one…” Dick!

7) What’s your religion?

me: raised Catholic, don’t practice

Harvey: “Jewish, ditto”

8) If you are outside, what are you most likely doing?

me: biking

Harvey: eating a bagel

9) Simple but extremely complex. Favorite band?

me: my wedding band ;D

Harvey: “Mike’s wedding band. And Miles Davis Quintet.”

10) What was the last lie you told?

me: It’s only a short ask game, it won’t take long…

Harvey: “I’m going to fuck you as soon as this is over.” (Whoa, you should see his angry stare of death…!!!)

((Read on, there are 50 more behind the cut!!!))

“Mike, don’t touch that.”

“What? Don’t touch what??”

“I don’t care. Don’t touch anything in this kitchen. Unless you’d rather not eat tonight.”

“I have no idea what you are talking about. But for some reason--”

“Yeah, Mike. WHAT??”

“For some reason this reminds me of the lobster scene in Annie Hall.”

“Don’t even dare to take the word Lobster in your mouth, Mike. This is just garlic.”

“Just garlic. Yeah, right. But I swear some of that just crawled behind our fridge.”

“Garlic doesn’t crawl, Mike.”

“Not that you know of... !” ^^

“Shut up. Garlic doesn’t crawl. Not now. Not ever.”

“You’re dead certain of that?”

“Yeah, Mike, I am. So will you just sit down an let me finish cooking dinner for us right now?”

“I most certainly won’t, Mr. Specter. We did agree that this was a team effort, didn’t we?”

“Much to my chagrin we did. But let me assure you - never again.”

“Then why don’t you tell me that again when you’re still in bed tomorrow morning, waiting for me to bring breakfast.”

“Breakfast is the last thing on my mind right now.”

“Interesting.”

“Is it?”

“Yep.”

“Still hungry?”

“Yeah.”

“Wanna team up on that?”

Hey everyone!! Okay, favorite gaze today, right? *rubs hands* Okay, here we go...! :D

I think my favorite Harvey Specter!Gaze(TM) is when I step out of the shower, naked, and Harvey is at the sink, brushing his teeth, or still lying in bed and I just walk across the room with nothing on but

Shut up, Mike. I’m taking that laptop now. Yeah, you can throw pretzels at me all you like but just remember that you have to sleep in this bed, too. Just remember.

So, favorite gaze. Right. Where was I. Right. There.

I know most people don’t have me down as a sentimentalist or, god forbid, a romantic. Well, rest assured that I am neither.

Yet, I can’t deny that my favorite look, my favorite gaze Mike ever throws me is the one when - and let me remind you that that is a very rare occasion, something that happens once in a blue moon, if at all - I wake up later (just a little, only a little bit later) than him.

When he’s settled against the headboard, nose-deep in Sunday’s newspaper, a cooling cup of coffee, freshly made, on the bedside table next to him, a slight frown upon his brow and maybe, if I am very lucky, a small smile curling his lips just so.

When I stir and open my eyes and he turns his head, his hair tousled and a shadow playing around his jaws, and the first thing I see is him.

His eyes.

That look in his eyes.

Hey hey hey!!

So I heard it is Marvey Week again - and today’s theme is “When You Started Shipping”. Well, this is Mike speaking (duh!!) and I’ll tell you exactly when I started “shipping”...

This.

This might have been some years ago but this is the exact moment I did. Start shipping, that is. It took me a while to put a name to the ass, so to speak, but this is when. And I will never forget that moment ever. :D

Don’t tell Harvey I said that, though. He thinks his ass is one of his lesser features. I respectfully (or maybe not so respectfully :-P ) disagree. I think that this is a pretty fine ass and I’m going to pay it some attention right now.

Gotta go and celebrate Marvey Week 2.0 right now with the ass man himself.

Hey guys, it’s me again, Mike. Harvey is teaching today (yeah, you read that right - that’s something we haven’t told you guys yet, I think *g*) so I’ll write this post for the both of us.

My two favorite scenes - of course just going by the material you guys have as well (there are many, many, MANY real favorites among everything that didn’t make it into the show, believe me *gg*) are:

the moment Harvey tells me I’m hired in 1.1 (Pilot) and:

the one when Harvey walks into my new (his old) office in 4.8 (Exposure) and tells me that it’s good to have me back where I belong. Because that’s what I do - I belong with Harvey.

My least favorite scene (because we talked about those, too) is

the Interrogation Room Scene in 3.16 (No Way Out). The way Harvey, this incredible, beautiful, loving man, puts himself into so much pain just to convince me to point the finger at him, and the depth of his love for me showing in his offer to take the blame instead of me (to go to jail, to have his life taken away instead of mine)... I never want to be in that room again. Never.

Harvey says he has two favorite scenes as well:

the moment I tell him that I want to stay at the end of 3.15 (Know When To Fold ‘Em) because even though I didn’t in the end he felt so much relief when I told him that... and:

the one where he finds me sitting in my new (his old) office in 4.8 (Exposure). He said he’d been so happy that day that he couldn’t sleep. :-)

And Harvey’s least favorite scene is:

the one where I tell him that I’m leaving, where I ask him to give me his permission to go. He couldn’t watch it, actually. He watched everything else with me but not that scene. He pretended that he wanted to fetch another beer from the kitchen right at the beginning of that scene but I know better...

Okay, but I want to end this on a lighter note, so... As requested, here are two pics I snapped of Harvey in bed:

Well, he’s asleep now, lying right next to me, totally fucked out, and now it’s my turn! So *rubs hands* 15 things that make me happy, right? For coconutice22.

But why only 15? You must be joking!! Okay, let me start with the first things that come to my mind...

pizza with cheese in the crust (there’s not much that’s better than that!!)

Harvey’s fridge!!! OMG, it’s always filled with all sorts of yummy stuff, bagels, serrano ham, white wine (and he doesn’t even like it all that much), raspberry yoghurt, fresh cucumber, lox, the whole shebang! Who on earth wouldn’t be happy about a fridge like that???

Harvey’s last post on here. I mean, come on, honestly... jkfjstjstkhksjhztzz!!!!! *dies a little* Gotta love the man!!

#marveyweek. It’s like an insanely lovely trip down memory lane - and YOU GUYS ARE TRULY INSANE!!!! (Just sayin’...)

the coffee cart guy (I owe him so much, when you come to think of it...) *whistles innocently*

Harvey’s arms wrapping around me from behind when I get to steer the “Eos”

Pepsy-Depsy, my loyal partner in crime, and that he can come to Manhattan with us now whenever we want...

watching Harvey work, all concentration and tightly set jaws, but also a love for the law that still hasn’t found its rival - not even in Louis or in Jessica

my job. God, my job!!!

those very few, very rare moments I wake up before Harvey does - and the softness of his face when he’s still asleep, those little crow’s feet and those beautiful lips all relaxed and pliant, begging to be kissed (by me, YAY!!!)

our house in the Hamptons, my home, our home, Harvey’s home - Harvey feeling at home, watching Harvey be at home

my wedding band, my home

Scott, our son

Willow, our daughter

Harvey, Harvey, Harvey - over and over again, always and forever

I was ‘tagged’ by coconutice22 to list 15 things that make me happy. (I didn’t know exactly what it means to be ‘tagged’ so I looked it up. Didn’t want to ask Mike. Well, now I know.)

Mike makes me happy. You know, before I met him I didn’t even know what true happiness was or that anyone who’s above the age of six can be happy like that. But then he came and that was that. He makes me insanely happy and I am fully aware that my life would be nothing like it is without him.

our children , Scott and Willow

watching Pepper play (it makes me happier than I thought any dog would be able to make me)

taking the “Eos” out for a sail and

returning to the marina in the evening during sunset, the gable of our house just barely visible behind the tips of the masts of all the sailing boats that have made fast along the narrow wooden runways

the house

a good suit and a good shirt and tie and a good pair of shoes to go along with it

René’s approving look when I step out of the changing room (What can I say? I am a vain son of a bitch...)

listening to certain pieces of music (and sometimes, my father’s songs are among them)

That’s ten. And I could stop here because it’s rather obscene to be that happy already. But it said 15 things and the following list could be endless.

the way Mike’s hair flutters in the breeze when we take the cabriolet to the house

kissing the salty water from Mike’s cheeks when he’s fresh out of the ocean (he loves to swim)

the way Mike clenches around me when he’s just a second away from coming

watching Mike work, knees deep in files, shirtsleeves rolled up to his elbows, the cap of a text marker between his lips and his cheeks flushed and glowing with eagerness, his hair a mess and his eyes slightly glassy and that incredible mind doing its incredible thing behind that smooth forehead

the way Mike looks the moment he opens his eyes for the first time on a new morning

I am not hiding under the covers. And I am most certainly not going to take part in this. I’m not even real, for all I know.

This is Harvey, btw., who is seriously considering limiting Mike’s access to the laptop and/or to the internet. This is ridiculous. I might end up having to sue my own husband, for fuck’s sake.

Hey you guys.

This is Mike and Harvey.

Well, it’s mostly me at the moment - Harvey is hiding under the covers and he wants nothing to do with this but that doesn’t mean that I can’t... And I know he will come around and join me in this sooner or later. He’s far too vain not to. But don’t tell him I said that. *g*

Anyway.

I decided We decided it would be fun to join that Marvey Week of yours. Let you know what we think. As an inside perspective, so to speak.

So, without further ado, here are our thoughts on Marvey Week Day 1, aka our favorite episode(s).

Harvey says his favorite ep is the Pilot (Season 01 Episode 01) because - and you’d never believe how sentimental and romantic that man can be!! - that’s when everything started and that’s when his life changed forever. Awwwwwwww! Isn’t that the cutest thing?? I can’t tell you guys how much I love him for that. <3<3<3

My favorite episode is the wedding. Our wedding, Harvey’s and mine. From where you are now in the show that would probably be at some point of time in season 7 or 8, I’m not sure. The show works in weird ways at times. And all that stuff that doesn’t make it into the final cuts of the eps!!! *shakes head* You wouldn’t believe how many things they left out, but believe me - you’d have loved them... But I digress. Just let me say that you guys got a fuckload of things right in your fics and in your fanart and in your gif fics. Impressive really, considering what little you have to work on...
