Connor/Asher. They work at the same firm. Connor is a hotshot, billing tons and tons of hours. Asher bills modestly, but he’s grown a reputation at the firm/local legal community for kicking ass at pro bono work. Connor is convinced this is all just a ploy to get attention and distract people from the fact that Asher is a mediocre lawyer. One day Asher comes to Connor for help with a pro bono case. Connor blows him off but is then assigned by a partner to help because it’s important for whatever reason. They end up working together. Connor realizes that Asher actually does care about the cases he takes. They learn some things from each other and win the case and fall in love, of course <3
Connor/Wes (and Connor/Oliver). Connor and Oliver have been on-off for years. Lately they’ve been on for a long stretch of time but the relationship is obviously not working very well. Still they refuse to admit it because both want to settle down already. Oliver’s hacking habit has persisted – lately he’s been doing some hacking for his company ala industrial espionage. It’s been going great until suddenly he gets caught. Connor feels guilty because Oliver gets caught initially while doing something illegal for Connor. Connor because Oliver’s defense lawyer. He takes Wes on as co-counsel because Wes is a specialist in this area of law or whatever. While working on the case, Connor and Wes fall in love/figure out they’re well suited to each other. They win the case, Oliver is free, but he and Connor are over. Connor and Wes “ride off into the sunset.”
Suits x Law and Order: SVU
Dana Scott/Casey Novak. Casey and Dana are opposing counsel on a case. They both feel passionately about having a strong case and they snark a lot at each other. After the case is done, they go out for drinks/coffee and end up having wildly passionate sex afterwards.
Dana Scott/Casey Novak. They are young law students together. Long evenings in the library sharing outlines and coffee. Stressing over OCI. Arguing over which is better/more useful – Law Review of Mock Trial. Arguing over career plans. Falling in love. (Some jealousy over Scottie and Harvey’s obvious hard on for each other.) Arriving in New York and the wonder of it all. And then…the sudden understanding that sometimes different lives pull you apart, no matter how much you care about each other.
Suits x War and Peace (modern!AU)Theodore Dolokhov is a hotshot young lawyer in a boutique Moscow firm. Jessica is on the look out for someone who can handle the business of their international clients and perhaps represent some of their client’s interests abroad. She settles on Dolokhov and he accepts. He takes his associate, Petya Rostov, to New York with him. Petya and Mike get along splendidly, especially when they figure out that they both have crushes on their bosses. Dolokhov and Harvey, however, can’t stand each other. (No, this doesn’t yet have an actual plot, lol. Harvey/Mike and Dolokhov/Anatole would be romantic end-game, I know that.)
