The Obvious Solution

by LearnedFoot

Rating: Explicit

Fandom: Suits (US TV)

Relationship: Mike Ross/Harvey Specter

Words: 9,150

Chapters: 1/1

Published: 2022-02-14

Author summary:

In the sober light of morning, Harvey can see that his approach to the problem was not the most obvious one. It was, in fact, probably not what anyone would do unless they wanted, on some level, for the lie to be true. Or: When Harvey sees a client hitting on Mike, he decides the best way to deal with it is to make the client believe Mike’s already spoken for. By Harvey. Because there’s no way that can go wrong.

My thoughts:

Oh you emotionally stunted man Harvey, you're crazy about Mike, and he is crazy about you! I liked this a lot, enough smut, enough angst, and enough love. Amazing

Ending quote:

After all, if things go as planned, they’ll have plenty of time for restaurants in the future.

In his initial panic, Peter doesn’t hesitate to get naked.

(Listen, when your experiment explodes out of nowhere and suddenly your skin feels like it’s on fire there’s not a lot of time for modesty, okay?)

But then the decontamination showers sputter on, the burn washes away, and reality resolves into place. He glances over: yeah, Mr. Stark is stripped all the way down, too. So that’s a thing that’s happening in his line of sight. No biggie.

Of all the ways Tony imagined his first Christmas with Peter going wrong, a giant snowman attacking Manhattan had not been one of the possibilities.

Clearly, he needs to expand his imagination.

Peter deserves what he wants, but whatever he thinks he’s asking for with this kiss, Tony can’t offer.

“I can’t be anything for you,” Tony gasps, pulling away. He brackets his hands on either side of Peter’s cheeks, forcing eye contact. He needs to understand. “Peter, I can’t, I can barely—I can’t even be anything for myself.”

Or: Tony thinks he isn't enough. Peter disagrees.

Tony knows exactly what this is. First big breakup, go for a fling with a completely inappropriate person. It’s basically a cliché. He kind of thought Peter was better than that, but apparently being brilliant and one of the bravest people on the face of the planet doesn’t mean he’s immune from being a stupid college student who makes stupid college student mistakes.

AKA Tony is sure this is just a fling, and he deals with that about as well as you’d expect.

“I think I’m dying.”

Peter stares at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, blinking. It feels weird to say it out loud.

In which Peter's powers turn against him, Mr. Stark is back and suddenly acting kind of weird (and by weird he means flirtatious), and it’s all a lot to handle at once.

The thing no one tells you about being resurrected is that while being alive again is nice, a lot of the rest of it is pretty awful, starting with the part where you wake up and have no idea what the hell is going on.

Or: Tony is resurrected, and he doesn’t deal with it well.
