Summary
The Taylor Swift lyric "You know how to ball, I know Aristotle" lives rent-free in my head at least 30x a day, so I obviously needed to write a cliché Harvard (undergrad) AU where Harvey loses his athletic full ride after his baseball injury and has to get tutored by Mike to bring up his grades. If anyone can get the pain of having everything taken away from them in one day, it's Mike.
This switches between Mike's and Harvey's POV, but it doesn't repeat events. Based on the emotional needs of a scene, it's either written with Mike's inner monologue or Harvey's with POV changes noted.
—“You’re a double major?”
“Triple, actually. With poli-sci and psych minors.”
Harvey gaped at him. “Jesus, kid. When do you sleep?”
“I’m a chronic insomniac,” Mike joked. Or maybe he was serious. Harvey couldn’t tell.
“Are you some kind of genius or something?”
Mike looked almost sad when he said, “Or something.” Weird. —

Summary
Set the day Mike gets released from prison. He tells Harvey the wrong time, making a plan to end his life, but ultimately goes to Harvey for help instead. Chronicles about a year of Mike's post-prison PTSD and mental health recovery. Possible triggers for suicide, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, and using alcohol to self-medicate.
This is a deep Mike character study, so Mike has a very cheeky, self-deprecating, and suicidal inner monologue, particularly at the beginning.
Please, please, please read safely.
The show did post-prison Mike so dirty (I may or may not blame Rachel). I needed a fix-it of sorts. Note: Rachel and Mike are already over by the start of the fic.

Summary
Happy 'Taylor owns all of her old album masters' week for all who celebrate.
High School AU: Mike and Harvey live next door. Harvey is a jock, Mike is a nerd, and Mike is hardcore pining after his best friend, who's too infatuated with his toxic relationship with Scottie to notice him.
[Scottie would never know Harvey’s story like Mike did. She didn’t know that Harvey blasted music to drown out his parents’ fighting. She didn’t know that Harvey would climb through Mike’s window when his dad was out of town and his mom had her “friend” Bobby over.
She didn’t see the look on his face when Harvey would put his head in his hands, trying to decide whether or not to tell his dad that his mom was a cheating homewrecker.
Mike would sit with Harvey while he silently stewed, occasionally lacing their fingers together and soothing him with his thumb. Harvey never stopped him. He would lean into the touch and thank Mike with his eyes.
They never talked about it.]
Part 9 of my "Our Song(s)" series of one-shots based on Taylor Swift songs. Lyrics are woven throughout, but you don't need to be a fan to read it. This one is based on "You Belong With Me" in honor of Taylor owning her OG masters.

Summary
Harvey wakes up after their first night together and decides he wants Mike to stay — for more than just the day. This is very Harvey-centric as he thinks about his playboy past and realizes how much Mike had changed him. He wants something different, and he wants it with Mike.
—He’d crossed a lot of lines he couldn't come back from in his four decades on this Earth. Some were even for the man sleeping next to him. But none felt as right, as exhilarating, as the one he crossed with Mike. From the moment their lips touched, Harvey knew he could never say goodbye.
Harvey could wake up to this view every morning and never tire of the way the sun cast a halo around Mike’s messy hair — how he looked softer, somehow younger in the daylight. Harvey couldn’t stop himself from running a hand through his hair, warm from the summer heat.—

Summary
This is set super(man) early in the show, Mike pines over Harvey in a sort of unrealistic hero-worshippy way because he saved Mike, and he's like this untouchable god in the NYC law scene. Ultimately, he realizes that Harvey is more human than he seems. Pretty much all fluff and pining.
(Harvey isn't actually Superman; Mike just uses it as an analogy.)
