someone recently posted an au where mike had secretly been in the military (as a sniper, etc) prior to working at pearson hardman. no idea if it's any good - i bailed out early on because it wasn't what i wanted. i thought it was going to continue being a secret, him living this double life, but no, he told everyone right away once he was called back up (or something, idk).

and i would normally say, OH WELL, moving on, but instead i am now DESPERATELY craving a 'point of no return' au. as in, I NEED IT LIKE BURNING. lanky mike ross as lanky bridget fonda. maybe grammy already died and mike fell harder into a life of crime (and drugs) after getting booted from college (with trevor's help, obvs). yadda yadda, he gets this 'opportunity'/alternative-to-death and we see him train to become a bad-ass killing machine... and lawyer (?) - maybe that's his high class cover??? WHATEVER, DETAILS. BASICALLY I JUST WANT MIKE SECRETLY ASSASSINATING SOMEONE FROM A HOTEL BATHROOM WHILE HE AND HARVEY ARE ON A BUSINESS TRIP (DURING MARDI GRAS /o/).

which, okay, dilemma. is harvey instead the gabriel byrne character, the handler who is secretly/not-so-secretly in love with mike? it would totally work, with jessica running the whole operation, and then especially to have rachel be the dermot mulroney schlub from whom mike keeps HIS BIG SECRET (hey, canon, hey), but...

i don't want UST-y mike/harvey, damn it! WE HAVE THAT ALREADY. i want ALL THE SEX mike/harvey with a hefty helping of ALL THE SECRETS AND LIES between them and the dramalama that thus ensues! but especially: MIKE TAKING SOMEONE OUT FROM THE HOTEL BATHROOM WHILE HARVEY'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR UNAWARES ("is everything okay in there?" "fine, be out in a sec..." ajsdklfj;sda).

and, you know, super skilled secret sniper baby-faced ninja assassin mike ross. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE.

somebody make this happen! (she says into the wind...) *clap clap*

If I knew this show, I would write it for you! Alas I do not.

I am absolutely on board with this.

There's a similarish fic were Mike's an assassin that wasn't too bad and I couldn't find it to link! Argh! There needs to be a Suits fic finder community. I'm too easily distracted to be a good fic searcher :D I go into AO3 to look for fic and end up reading five fics that are clearly not what I'm looking for at all.

hmmm! it occurred to me that the fic i'm craving (or one similar enough) might actually be out there already, though it feels like i should have come across it by now. there is the go to guy by closer, where mike is a PI, and that was good fun (as is EVERYTHING by closer).

i will poke around the internet until someone caves to my every whim! :D

I like that one by Closer. I like that the Mike in it is so capable. The one I was thinking of had Mike as an assassin and someone trying to kill Harvey (not Mike) and Mike kills someone in his own apartment. Can't find it though I know it was on AO3 last fall sometime. Oh well. I think it was pretty short and not particularly plotty...
