Summary
Mike has lived in New York all his life, so he's not unaccustomed to seeing famous people in real life. He once stood in line at a coffee shop behind Hugh Jackman. He saw Matt Damon at a restaurant once. One time he got into a cab that Anne Hathaway was exiting. He doesn't really get star struck. Except now apparently. Harvey Specter just walked into his shop and Mike's body is reacting, heart beating hard in his chest, breathing becoming more difficult.
Thankfully Mike is distracted from his minor freak out by someone attempting to rob him.
[or: Harvey is a famous actor who walks into the bookshop that Mike owns, and yes, this is exactly what you think it is.]

Summary
Mike dealt with his breakup surprisingly well. When he rebuffed Harvey’s offers of talking about what happened it appeared that he genuinely didn’t need to talk about it. He’d say things like “It’s for the best” and “It was only a matter of time” and he’d smile and change the subject and Harvey would let him.
Mike was happy. He was admitted to the Bar. He was a Junior Partner. And though neither of them said it he’d been certain that Mike had to know that as soon as it was acceptable Mike would become a Senior Partner and then one day down the track their names would be side by side on the wall (with or without Louis, preferably without).
There was a plan. An unspoken one, true, but a plan nonetheless. One that started to crumble the day Harvey came home to find Mike sitting on the couch, in the dark, sipping a whiskey as he stared off into space.Bookmarked by Elaria01

Summary
He would be lying if he said he wasn't tempted. Because he has known Mike for a grand total of twenty minutes and already knows that Mike would work hard, could excel if given the chance. And more than that, he likes this kid, his bravado and cheek, the way he can give back as good as he gets. And Harvey only expected to find someone he could tolerate; he never anticipated finding someone he actually liked.
But he can't do it. There are bigger things at play here. He would be betraying Jessica - she’s done so much for him, more than he could ever enumerate, and hiring someone with no degree is not a fine way to repay her. So as much as he wants to go back, to say, "You're hired, you start on Monday," he can't. He won't. Instead he says, "The coast is clear." [AU in which Harvey doesn't hire Mike in the pilot episode.]Bookmarked by Elaria01
