the_water_clock: abstract painting (Orange and Yellow 1956)
Author: Clio
Title: An Excellent Thing
Pairing: Suits: Harvey Spector/Mike Ross
Rating: NC-17
Summary: Once Mike notices—really notices—the way that Harvey's vests nip him in at the waist just so, he decides to buy Harvey something else that will do the trick. After all, if wool and silk and buttons can do that, what could leather and boning and laces do?
Warning: (skip) Mike gets Harvey a corset, and it ends up effecting them both like a collar, in that when Harvey wears it he belongs to Mike. So some dom/sub elements, though very understated. Enthusiastic consent, definitely, and promise to set up boundaries.
Length: 2200 words
Notes: Written for the "collar" square on my kink bingo card, though the collar here is a corset. Same effect; see content notes for more detail.
Title from the line from King Lear—"Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman"—that Caroline Ingalls often quoted to her girls.
Special thanks to [profile] canis_takahari for her enthusiasm for the story!!
