Harvey/Mike, Victorian AU

[anonymous]

Harvey is a gentleman (rank up to you). Mike is a young street rat. Some part of their initial meeting goes like it did in the show, and Mike impresses Harvey enough for Harvey to want to change his life.

Mike becomes Harvey's apprentice, and also his ward. Which makes the inevitable sexual tension awkward and a little unfortunate. But then it is resolved. With sex.

Notes
1. This is very, very loosely based on the set-up to Mairelon the Magician. Use as much (or none) of that as you want.
2. As for the apprenticeship, I don't really care what they're doing. Harvey could dabble (quite successfully, of course) in politics. Or if you want to go the magic AU route like in Mairelon, that is also awesome! It's just that actual lawyering doesn't work for this time period, because it is (*haughty sniff*) trade.

Honestly quite surprised this HASN'T been written yet. It's a must for any fandom. +___+

Oh! Mairleon is one of my favorite books ever, and it never even occurred to me that this would be an excellent combination! I have this serious urge to write this. But be warned, I'm really slow, so this could be awhile.

Oh! Darling I seriously don't mind, be as slow as you want, I am happy to wait. :D

You've made me very very happy!

(Also, just: yay Mairelon! Isn't it awesome?)

Now, just a sec, I just have one question. The books are set more in Regency England, while you asked for a Victorian setting. Do you have a preference?

Re: Harvey/Mike, Victorian AU

I honestly don't care either way; I love both eras. I probably mistyped because of having the Victorian era on the brain (I was reading Gail Carriger when I wrote the prompt.)

Oh holy shit! Eeeee. :D

Yeah, it's totally Oliver Twistish. If you're at all familiar with the book that inspired my prompt, the street rat-y character is totally a ragamuffin in the Oliver Twisty tradition. (Or. Ahem. So I assume, but never having actually read Oliver Twist, perhaps I shouldn't be making such claims when I don't actually have the slightest notion what I'm talking about. :D)

But anything you want to write is okay, I'm thrilled to have people interested in writing my prompt at all! Thank you. <3

Hahhah, it's worse than you know. I actually have an MA in lit, and yet have never read a single Dickens novel. Not one. I almost always win the 'what should I have read, but haven't read?' game. *grin*

Re: Harvey/Mike, Victorian AU

This excites me more than I can say, because the Mairelon the Magician books are two of my favorite books, ever.

Re: Harvey/Mike, Victorian AU

I am so okay with this, you have no idea. Thank you. I am seriously so excited.
