Summary
When Taggie finds herself alone and injured on the cold winter's night, she desperately turns to Lizzie for help.
Who, in turn, tells Rupert. He takes things into his own hands.
-
Now that she’s gained this awful consciousness that he cares for her in a way that’s more than just surface-level affection for the little girl who trips on her own words, now that she has accepted the way that she aches for him to be closer to her in a room, now that the desire for him to change has manifested itself before her very eyes–
It’s a loss that’s been following her. Rupert’s loss, that is, whenever he’s not next to her.
Every day, there’s a new situation where she wants him at her side.

Summary
Harvey Specter is twenty-one and he has no future, but he is trying to make sure that is little brother does. Unfortunately, in order to do that, he needs to make a lot of money in a little time.
Donna Paulsen is twenty and the world was at her feet, but she found herself still trapped in their same little town because of factors beyond her control. Unable to tolerate the life she doesn't want, she's willing to do anything to get the money she needs to head west and leave this all behind.
Luckily, their paths converge at just the right time.

He’s spitting with anger when he speaks again: “Just open the fucking register. I’m warning you.”
“No.” Through long eyelashes, he meets her unblinking stare. She’s pretty. It doesn’t matter. “Shoot me.”
He can’t. “I will.” He won’t. “Just give me the goddamn money.”

Summary
"Since when do you go to Central Park on your lunch?"
Since never. "Since I got sick of looking at the same gray walls for sixteen hours straight." This seems to catch her. She pauses, and he takes the opportunity to sell it a little more. "Y'know, it's a nice day outside, I figured a little fresh air wouldn't kill me."
"Are you sure about that? Because I'm pretty sure we spend enough time in here that our immune systems would be shot by anything outside of this office."
"Well, then it's time to find out then, don't you think?"
The way her eyes waiver back to the documents on the table and then back to him tells him that he's got her.
"Come on. Just an hour."
Luckily, it's extremely hard for her to say no to him. So he watches as she gathers her papers without a word and walks right by him–
"If I die out there, it's on you."
---
Harvey is the only person who catches onto the fact that Donna is overworking herself since her promotion, and he vows to subtly try to make sure she's doing okay. Along the way, however, his feelings for Donna become a little less subtle.

Summary
“Marcus was hoping we could come visit soon,” is where this morning brings them. “He said he’s got a new place, wants you to see it… He wants me to meet the kids.”
“Ah, that's probably about the ‘Auntie Donna’ joke I made last time I talked to them.”
Shifting in his arms, completely puzzled, Donna pushes her coffee mug into his chest. “‘Auntie Donna?’”
“What? My niece and nephew are your niece and nephew, now.”
It’s true – together forever, he said about them, and it rang in her ears like the melodies of a fairytale. So good, too good, to be true – and yet.

Or, the domestic everyday Donna and Harvey that season nine was lacking.

Summary
For two years, Joel Miller has done nothing but scowl at you from across the room, barely tolerating your warmth, your kindness, your ever-present sunshine. For two years, you’ve told yourself his gruffness doesn’t bother you—that his clipped words and cold stares don’t matter.
But then, out of nowhere, he offers to fix the damaged floor in your flower shop.
For free.
Suddenly, the man who could barely stand to look at you is showing up every day, fixing things that don’t need fixing, sharing quiet lunches, and—most shocking of all—getting along with Ellie, your daughter, who has never warmed up to anyone as quickly as she has to him.

Summary
“What the hell?” Joyce whispered, equally confused, stunned, and joyous.
Daylight had begun seeping in around the edges of the sky, painting the darkness purple and red, and through those colors Joyce saw her driveway had been shoveled in its entirety. A path had been meticulously cleared for the cars to back out, piles of snow evenly spaced where gravel met grass. Windshields had been scraped clean of whatever ice and snow had covered them in the night. It was as though she’d somehow sleepwalked her way through that dreadful winter morning routine, though she knew that hadn’t been the case.
But who else would've done it?

Summary
Suddenly she has to look away, down at the old pizza boxes on the floor, at the random socks and clutter of an apartment too small for its occupant. She wonders if anywhere is really large enough to contain Jake Peralta. “You’re not invincible, you know,” she says quietly. “And I’d hate –” She stops it right there, because it’s getting too close to what’s real and she can’t let that out of the box.
