Butterflies

[Harvey Specter x Female!Reader]

Synopsis: You know you’re screwed when you feel them fluttering in your chest {GIF Creds: jeysuso}.

WC: 717

Category: Fluff

For all my Harvey lovers out there, I made a cute fluffy quickie (I’m seeing a lot of my fics being swarmed with love so why not add to it 🤗)

『••✎••』

It happened over a bottle of bourbon. A spilled bottle, actually. But a bottle of bourbon nonetheless, and that is important to note.

You didn’t mean to spill the alcohol all over your date, but he had made some comment about how you shouldn't be wearing a dress with a plunging neckline, so you just… happened to tip the entire thing over him.

The man was furious, of course, but he left pretty quickly after that. And you were left with a mess on the floor and a waiter hovering at the side, asking if you wanted another bottle.

You told him no. You just wanted to go home.

You didn't want a new date; you didn't want to sit at this stupid table with the stupid white tablecloth, the stupid, gaudy candlesticks, or the stupid waiter with the stupid, expectant look on his face.

"Miss?"

"No, thank you," you say, a little more firmly, gathering up your things and leaving as much cash as you can on the table. If you were smart, you'd have brought an umbrella, but you're not smart, so you'll just get drenched like an idiot.

But, fortunately for you, the person calling your name knew you well enough to know you weren’t that smart.

Before a drop of water could even hit your hair, a tall, dark figure steps out in front of you and blocks the downpour. Some might consider this a gentlemanly action, but you knew the man, and he was hardly ever gentle.

"You're welcome," Harvey says, a smirk tugging at the corners of his mouth.

"You're a pain," you reply, but you're grateful for the cover.

"And you're dateless. So, I see two options: we can have dinner and a drink back at my place, or we can do dinner and a drink back at mine."

You can't help but laugh. "Did you use this on Scottie? I see why she left. That line was bad."

"You're not going to ask how I knew you were here?"

"Nope. You probably had Louis stalk me."

"Don't talk about the puppy like that."

"So you did have him stalk me!"

"I prefer the term 'make sure you were alright,'" Harvey replies, and he holds out his arm to you. "Guy was a douche. Let me buy you dessert to make up for it. And I don’t mean in the biblical sense, although that can be arranged, too, if you'd like."

"Harvey, you’re such—"

You turned to him, ready to tell him exactly what you thought of him, but the words died when you met his eyes. Those same eyes that allured you into taking his offer at Pearson Hardman. The same eyes that made you agree to work with him on the case despite your better judgment.

In a flash, you saw the whole thing: your first meeting, the cases, the laughs, the looks, the touches. And now, the moment.

When you were younger, the term butterflies had never really made sense to you. The idea of feeling them in your stomach seemed ridiculous, and yet, there you were, feeling them for the very first time.

They were all fluttering around inside of you, and all you could think was, "Oh, no."

And as if the universe had heard you, it suddenly stopped raining, and you both stood there in the middle of the street, the moon casting a warm light on your faces.

Harvey noticed it, too, and his expression softened. His usual cockiness was replaced with a gentle concern. "You okay?"

You nodded, biting your lip. "Yeah."

Harvey reached up and brushed a strand of hair away from your face, his hand lingering a moment longer than it needed to. He gave you that signature grin and asked, "You look like a velvet cake kind of girl. Am I right?"

He was right.

Goddamnit, he was right.

And as he swaddled you in his coat to keep you warm as you both went back inside, the anger and confusion you felt earlier melted into a quiet, warm glow.

Date night had not gone according to plan, but when his lips met yours and your hands slid through his soft, brown hair, you realized that, perhaps, sometimes, it was good to deviate from the plan.

The butterflies seemed to agree.

[altschmerzes]

Did you ever watch Numb3rs? I feel like you would enjoy the vibe.

yes!!! i did!! and you're right, it was totally up my alley, you got me in one XD honestly a piece of media that will forever have a soft spot in my heart for many reasons but particularly for its portrayal of jewish characters and a like. soul searching arc for a character that brought him to connect more strongly with judaism. also an absolutely top shelf sibling dynamic. mwah. beloved.

(one of the lost media things that haunts me most is the unaired pilot where gabriel macht played don eppes. i want to see it so bad. he's one of my fave actors and i'd be FASCINATED to see his take on don, though rob morrow did a great job and i can't imagine it being anyone else)

[liminalmemories21]

HELLO FRIEND happy nice ask week!! I am asking all writer friends the same question!

Your mission: pick one of your OCs (no matter how small or large part) and fancast an actor for them. Yes, even in an unpublished fic. OR if you'd prefer, pick a director to direct one of your fics or wips. GOOD LUCK.

Oooh, thank you. I'm totally gonna cheat here and fan-cast the OCs in Knave-verse. Enzo is - obviously - Stanley Tucci. This does not need saying.

Matt Tulson is Sebastian Stan. Liz is Sherri Saum (the ages don't quite work - but I'm imagining her from the early seasons of the Fosters - this is fan-casting I can time travel).

Dr. Golding is Ming-Na Wen, and Amy is Busy Phillips.

Massey is Gabriel Macht - which is boring, but let's be honest Massey was always Harvey Spectre. And his wife, Anne, is Robin Wright.

And, finally, Jack is Krysten Ritter, and Cassel is Mark Strong.

[dear-indies]

hi cat (and mouse)! totally no rush in answering, but i was wondering if you had any suggestions for someone who could play a brother to rachel weisz? i imagined that the two were relatively close in age. thank you so much! xx

Not 100% matching but the closest I can find:

David Alan Basche (1968) Ashkenazi Jewish.

Paul Rudd (1969) Ashkenazi Jewish.

Jack Black (1969) Ashkenazi Jewish.

Gabriel Macht (1972) Ashkenazi Jewish.

and then half siblings:

Michael Bunin (1970) Ashkenazi Jewish / Italian.

Josh Charles (1971) Ashkenazi Jewish / German, English, Scottish.

Kevin Makely (1973) Ashkenazi Jewish / Unspecified.

Here you go!

Caring Makes You Weak - Part 2

Summary: Harvey Specter, best closer in New York City and Senior Partner at Pearson Hardman, the man most females in the city want, yet he himself doesn’t want commitment, because caring makes one weak. Enter Elle Howard, a woman he met a long time ago. Will she be the one to break down his walls and make him care?

Thanks again for beta'ing @fortheloveoffanfic

Warnings: Light cursing, an evil stepmother(?)

Words: 1544

Hardman was gone, the merger with Zane pushed away again but now Jessica wanted to merge with Edward Darby and Harvey wanted - needed to stop it one way or another.

And now the one person he'd had worked very hard to forget about waltzed back into his life because his associate had taken her case. He was never the committing type and he should have never agreed to help Mike with that pro Bono. It wasn't even his case to begin with, so what had changed?

Staring out his windows he thought back to the first time he had met her. How could one woman rattle his brain like that? First Dana Scott, then Zoe Lawford and now…now there was Elle Howard.

Harvey had met her while out celebrating a big win with Jessica and Louis. When he walked up to the bar, she stood there, the fabric of her dress tight around her curves as she waited for her drink.

"Can I get you a drink?" he asked, leaning one arm onto the bar while he looked the redhead up and down.

She turned a smile on her lips and a drink in her hand. "I believe I'm still good, thank you."

"Well, why don't we move on to the next one?" Harvey smirked at her, holding out his hand for introductions. "I'm Harvey Specter."

Rolling her eyes, she emptied her drink and grabbed the clutch laying on the bar top. "And I'm not interested." The redhead nodded her head and moved to walk around him.

The warmth in his belly was replaced by a coldness as if someone had doused him with ice water. It had been some time since a woman had brushed him off with not being interested but he clearly was and he needed to get to know her. "Please, just let me buy you a drink." he said, his hand lightly holding onto her arm.

Sighing, the redhead turned, her blue-green eyes narrowing in on the lawyer. "You don't like a woman saying no, do you?"

"I always win them over, so I'd say you should take my offer." Harvey told her, nodding at Louis and Jessica, who just left the bar.

Moving closer to him, the woman smiled, her eyes shining with mirth. "Well in that case, I expect you to work your magic to win this case Mister Lawyer."

"How did you know I'm a lawyer?" Harvey asked astonished, not that he could have hidden his job in a bar full of businessmen.

The redhead smirked, leaning over to whisper in his ear. "It's not so hard to figure out, to be honest. So I'm looking forward to when you've won that case, too."

"Harvey!"

Blinking, the dark haired lawyer turned to face his associate. "What you got, Mike?"

"I've been calling you five minutes straight." the dark blond said, a smile on his face as Donna laughed at her cubicle. "What's got you so occupied?"

Shaking his head, Harvey held out his hand to look over the files. "Did you find some dirt on Tanner we can use?"

"Ah, not yet." Mike scratched the back of his neck, watching his boss carefully. "I wanted to ask Louis to help me with the financials, something doesn't seem right."

"Then get to it, I got something else to take care of." he got up from his chair, buttoning his jacket before he left his office. "I'll be back later, keep my schedule clear."

Donna and Mike looked after their boss before they faced each other. "What just happened?"

"I have no idea Junior, but he's been in a mood ever since you got back from Elle Howard last Friday." the secretary said, taking a sip from the latte Mike had brought her at lunch.

Once outside on the street level, Harvey waited for Ray to drive up. He needed to get a clear answer to the questions circling around his head. The black Lexus stopped in front of him and his driver got out, opening the door for him. "Where to, Harvey?"

"To the past." he sighed, giving his driver the address. The Indian man nodded his head, started the music and drove off.

"You want to talk about it, boss?" Ray had known his employer for nearly three years now and in all that time nothing had rattled him like the case he took on with Mike Ross. Harvey shook his head, watching the city fly by as the car made its way out of Manhattan and over to Williamsburg.

"Elle!"

Elle had to get the cries of her kids out of her head, so she decided to go grocery shopping and enjoy the walk over to the store not far from her apartment. Just when she got back, the redhead saw a black car parked on the street in front of her door. Sighing, she tightened her grip on the bags and ignored the sound of a car door opening.

She would recognize that voice anywhere. "What can I help you with, Harvey? Is there something good happening with the case?"

"Mike is still looking into it, but actually I'm here because I need to ask you something." the lawyer said moving closer to her. "Why did you really leave those years ago?"

Elle knew what he was getting into and she still had her secrets, things she couldn't have told him then and would definitely not tell him now. "You know it didn't work out for us."

"You still believe that?" he argued, pushing one hand into the pockets of his suit pants, clenching it with all his might. "I know that isn't the reason why, so stop that bullshit and tell me what made you rethink everything."

Shaking her head, the redhead walked around him, moving swiftly to the entrance of the apartment building she shared with Mike, but Harvey was faster. His hand held onto her arm, tight enough to stop her, but loose enough to not hurt her. Elle blinked her light eyes at the lawyer as she tried to form words without spilling what she had longed to tell him all those years ago. "We both wanted different things and you know it."

"Is that why you suddenly up and left New York? I asked Lucille and she told me you went to Boston. You didn't even think that you could have talked to me?"

Pulling away from him, she opened her mouth to answer him, but there was no sound coming out. Elle needed to get her head straightened out before she could really talk to Harvey and just when she knew what she would tell him, her phone rang again. The redhead pulled it out of her jeans' back pocket showing Charlie's name on the display. "I'm sorry, I have to take this."

"Mum" he sniffled and Elle immediately felt tears come to her own eyes. "Please come and get us. I hate it here."

She could hear his cries and the lawyer in front of her was totally forgotten. "Charlie, baby, what's going on?"

"I want to come back to you. I hate Sarah and she doesn't even want us there. She's mean to Izzy and me. Please, mommy, come and take us home."

Clasping a hand to her lips, Elle fought the urge to break down when she listened to her sweet boy cry because of her ex husband's new wife. "I'm sorry, sweetie, but I can't come and take you home. You know that we still have to wait a bit."

"No! I wanna go home now. Izzy doesn't like it here, too." the young mother could hear her youngest crying next to her son and she knew she had to put an end to it.

Closing her eyes, Elle took a deep breath. "Charlie listen to me, I'm going to come over and we'll talk, okay."

"Okay, I guess." She knew her son wasn't satisfied with her answer, but there was no way she was giving Travis more power over her, than he already had.

Harvey had listened to the conversation and was trying to come up with possible scenarios to fight against Tanner, just so he didn't have to listen to the kids crying for their mother. "I'm coming with you, Tanner isn't going to be happy with you showing up at his house."

"I can do that on my own, I know Travis." Elle tried to argue with the lawyer but from the look he shot her, she knew she'd have to fight him tooth and nails. "I don't need your help to make sure my kids are fine."

Shaking his head, he took a step back from her. "It's either me or I'm sending Mike to Tanner's house and you know it's not going to be pretty." Harvey held up his phone, ready to dial his associate so he could make sure nothing was going wrong and would destroy the case.

"Okay." the redhead muttered, lowering her head in defeat, she trusted Mike, but not around her ex-husband, he could be petty and it would end up in bloodshed if something went wrong. Rolling her blue eyes, she nodded, albeit reluctantly. "Fine. But at least let me get the shopping inside."

[kittyisaddicted]

Generally speaking, I have so much respect for the work actors*actresses put into their characters.

When they come up with little details like a gesture, a facial expression, the way they're standing, walking, and all of it fits well together and suits the character perfectly and creates this illusion as if they were them.

The way their mouth grins, how they talk with their hands, and the art of just looking at someone.

And then you see the actor*actress in person, in an interview or somewhere else, and you realise: It's an complete illusion, they are not (or at least not completely) what they seem to be on screen, and it makes the whole experience even more beautiful, because they put so much LOVE in the characters that we love, it simply amazes me everytime I realise this.

Acting is tough, and when it's done right, it blows me away.

Overworked

Harvey Specter x Reader

A/N I know I said I was taking a break from writing but I had an idea for this fic and had to write it. There will be a part two as well at some point.

“Ross” Lewis’ snapped making you look up “did you pick up the cat food I asked you to?”

“No” you sighed pinching the bridge of your nose “I forgot I’m sorry”

“You forgot” he scoffed

“I’m sorry but I asked you for some time off and you said no” you sighed running your hand through your hair. “I’m swamped here”

“Welcome to the world of being a lawyer” he laughed “you wanted to go to law school so get used to it. Now I don’t expect to see your text book out you understand”

“Yes Lewis” you sighed watching him walk off.

You knew why he was taking things out on you, because of your older brother. And the fact he was still working at the company. Pushing yourself to your feet you slowly walked into the break room to see Mike leaning against the counter.

“Well you look like shit” he chuckled. “Which is surprising with how Harvey brings you coffee constantly”

“You try getting 3 hours fucking sleep, studying for law school and getting shit on by your boss because he has it in for anyone with the surname Ross” you snapped as you grabbed a bottle of water out of the fridge. “And my relationship with Harvey has fuck all to do with you”

“Y/N” Mike sighed.

“No Mike, don’t even go there okay” you hissed “I was the best little sister and kept your fucking secret and loom where it’s got me”

“I’m so-“

“Don’t let them words come out of your mouth” you glared “I don’t have time for this shit because I’ve got to go get some pissing cat food oh and somehow manage to finish the assignment that’s due in by 6pm tonight”

Harvey watched as you stormed out of the break room, he knew how exhausted you were and he hated how there was nothing he could do about it. Running his hand over his face, he needed to speak to Lewis and get him to cut you some slack.

He hated how exhausted you were, no label was pu on your relationship but he saw the effects of the lack of sleep, the amount of nights you cancelled on going around to his place after work because you had too much to do, or the nights that he turned up to your place unexpectedly to find you still studying.

“Well this is a sight I need to take a photo of” Donna exclaimed as she saw Harvey walk in with two coffees from the shop down the road.

“I know how to buy coffee Donna” Harvey chuckled passing her one of the cups “and neither are for me”

“The better looking Ross is at her desk” Donna smiled sipping the coffee “she’s not looking too good”

“I know” he sighed “which is why I want you to clear my schedule for the rest of the week, that girl needs some rest whether Lewis likes it or not”

“Already did as of 10 minutes ago” Donna winked.

As he got closer to your desk his heart melted and broke at the same time. He knew you were burnt out but he didn’t think you would fall asleep at your desk he couldn’t help it a he stormed into Lewis’ office

“You really have it in for her don’t you” Harvey snapped.

“Who?”

“Y/N, the poor girl has fallen asleep at her desk” Harvey shouted “you are running her into the ground Lewis. She isn’t Mike”

“I’m not having this” Lewis growled “she’s going to wake up and get the shit done I’ve asked her to do”

“No she isn’t” Harvey said blocking Lewis from leaving her office. “She’s coming home with me to get some well deserved rest”

“You can’t do that Harvey” Lewis snapped.

“I can and I will” Harvey said leaving the office.

As he approached your desk, he crouched down and softly ran his finger down your cheek causing you to stir and panic.

“Baby it’s only me” he whispered as he rubbed your back.

“Hi” you whispered sleepily.

“I brought you a coffee” he smiled passing you the drink “and you are coming home with me, I’ve cleared it with Jessica and you are going to get some much needed rest”

“I can’t, I’ve got a never ending list and an assignment due” you sighed taking a sip of your coffee

“Don’t worry about Lewis baby” he smiled placing his hand on your knee “and I know you have the assignment written in the notepad so whilst you sleep I will type it up for you”

“I don’t have a choice do I?” You yawned.

“Nope not at all” Harvey winked “now come on, I will even order take out”

“Only if I can sleep cuddled up to you” you giggled.

“As if I’d let you do anything else” he smirked picking your bag up.

Pearson Specter Litt - Harvey Specter (fluff)

Requested by @rebelwrites​

I hope you guys love Harvey just as much as we do. Enjoy my loves. xxx

Summary: It seems like Harvey’s wife is the better closer after all, the reason why Specter was added to the wall

“Will you stop that” (y/n) slapped Harveys wandering hand away, crossing her legs as her eyes wouldn’t leave the contract in front of her, “such a killjoy”. There were days where (y/n) regretted moving into Harvey’s office, as much as she loved her husband, he could be a pain in the ass, just like today. 

“Harvey Specter keep your hands to yourself” the words made him smirk, hot breath crashing against her ear as he leaned forward “yesterday you begged me for my hands and now you don’t want them?”. 

Harvey loved to tease her, would grasp any chance to watch her cheeks flush, tongue wetting her lips as she tried to come up with a snarky reply. (Y/n) would take on the dominant part in their office, would boss her husband around, but at home, as they were tangled between the sheets, she’d listen to his every command, would beg for his attention. 

“What are you even reading?” he pushed her chair aside, grabbing the contract she had been focusing on for the past few hours, “why would Jessica come to you with something like this?”. Harvey skimmed through the contract, frowning at his smirking wife, “maybe I’m just the better closer after all”, his jaw ticked, eyes switching between her (y/e/c) ones and the papers, “fine, that’s an easy case anyways”. 

Her groan echoed through the room as Harvey turned away from her, eyes falling shut for a moment, fingers pinching the bridge of her nose, “you’re such a drama queen Harvey Specter”. 

He tried to keep his chuckle from leaving him, didn’t want to stop his sulking just yet, but he couldn’t stay annoyed for too long, body aching to get closer once again, he was obsessed with his wife in any and every possible way. 

                                                     ...

Harvey whistled a soft tune as he walked down the hallway, Mike by his side “you didn’t tell me they’d finally add your name to the wall” Mike patted Harvey’s shoulder, watching his friend's smirk grow wider and wider. “Excuse me, there’s something I need to do” Harvey chuckled, walking back to the office he shared with his wife, winking at Donna as he stepped inside. 

“What?” (y/n) stared at him, she knew her husband like the back of her hand, knew that there must be something he’d rub into her face, his smirk was wider than any other he’d ever worn. 

“They added my name to the wall” she tried to stay composed, tried to find the right words, but the loud laugh that bubbled out of her interrupted her thoughts, “babe” (y/n) rose from her chair, heels clicking against the floor, “Jessica wanted to add it because of me”. 

Mike and Donna were watching the small interaction, frowning at one another as Harvey stormed out of the office, a giggling (y/n) hot on his heels as she followed him towards Jessica's office. “Harvey come on” but before she could catch up with him he had ripped open the door, hard eyes staring at Jessica, “you want to add it because of her? I’ve been here for ages”.

 It took Jessice a moment to realize what was going on, eyes finding (y/n)s giggling frame, arms crossed in front of her chest as her husband kept on making a fool of himself. 

“You’re both senior partners Harvey, (y/n) closed way more deals than you have this year, maybe you should have stayed focused on your job and not on Mike” the tall man rolled his eyes, turning towards his wife, “you’re only here because of me, stop that”.  

Harvey brushed past her, driven by the jealousy that flooded through him, hellbent on convincing Jessica that she should add it because of him. “Harvey Specter” (y/n)s voice boomed through the hallway, making him freeze, “do you even realize that we both have the same last name? Nobody will care about whether the name is there because of you or me”. 

He rolled his eyes, slowly making his way towards her, hands placed on her sides, lips meeting hers, “I’m proud of you, though trust me, I’ll punish you for that little stunt”.

Secrets

Requested by Anon - Hi! I totally loved your Harvey × Reader fanfictions and I just wanted to request another if you want to write it. I was thinking about the Reader and Harvey having a secret relationship at work because they're colleagues, but you can do whatever you want! Thank you and have a nice day. Characters – Harvey x Reader, Donna Word Count – 573

-

You sighed as you picked up the bundles of paper work and moved them to one arm, as you walked to the glass door of your office before opening it and entering the busy hallway. Making your way along, holding yourself tall, everyone moved out your way and watched where you were going. When you arrived at the other end of the hallway, you meet the red headed receptionist that had grown to be your friend. ‘Is Harvey in?’ You asked her not looking up from the paper work. ‘Why Hello, there Y/N. Yes, I’m fine, thank you for asking.’ She replied sarcastically, you raised your head and leaned against the counter. ‘So sorry my highness.’ You replied back, as you bowed slightly, and she smiled widely. ‘We need to have a talk a lunch time.’ She told you, pointing at you before turning to her computer. ‘Okay, but is Harvey in. I need him to sign these.’ You said motioning to the paper. ‘Sure.’ She said, waving you in. You chuckled as you walked away from her and pushed open his door. ‘Harvey.’ You said before you dumped the papers onto the table. You turned around and saw him standing at his window looking out, raising a glass of whiskey. ‘Everything okay?’ You asked him, as you leant against the desk. ‘Yup. You free tonight?’ He asked you, you nodded as you walked over to him. ‘Yeah, hopefully finishing here tonight at 6 and no later.’ You said as you stood beside him watching the city move below you. ‘You’re busy from then on.’ He told you, taking another sip of his drink. ‘Oh am I?’ You questioned him, he looked at you and nodded, giving you a small smirk. ‘Well I’ll see you then.’ You told him, as you walked away, heading towards the door, you opened the door before turning to him. ‘The papers need signed before 5 tonight.’ You told him as you stepped out and shut the door behind you.

-

‘What did you want to talk to me about?’ You asked her as you sat down at the table, Donna taking the seat across from you. ‘How long have you and Harvey been seeing each other?’ She quizzed you, you tried to keep a straight face but couldn’t. ‘What makes you say that?’ You questioned her. ‘Oh come one. You always ‘meet’ each other outside the front, plus he always brings you coffee, he never brings me coffee.’ She told you and you chuckled. ‘So because he brings me coffee, you think that we’re dating?’ You quizzed her, she stopped for a second before nodding, pointing her fork at you. ‘That and also the lingering looks he gives you, he can’t seem to control himself around you. You on the other hand can keep it together.’ She informed you, you shook your head and took a sip of your drink. ‘You know you can’t hide it forever.’ She stated, you shook your head takin a sip of your drink. ‘We aren’t.’ You told her. She looked at you with a raised eyebrow. ‘We just don’t want the clients and employees to think that we are going to affect the work we’re doing.’ You told her, she smiled and nodded. ‘Well, as long as you’re both happy.’ She stated. ‘We are.’ You told her, she nodded before you both took a bite of your meals and changed the topic.

The Most Important Review of Every Single Luca Marinelli Film

Listen, I’m not here to tell you if a movie’s plot is well-structured or whatever, ok? I’m here for objective, factual data on how Luca Marinelli’s brand is adhered to in every movie he’s been in so far.

(all gifs by @weardes​)

La solitudine dei numeri primi (2010)

Does Luca smoke? No.

Does Luca sing? No.

Does Luca eat? No.

Does Luca get slapped? No. His life is hard enough as it is.

Is Luca naked? He’s wearing speedos in one scene, but he’s covered in s*lf-h*rm marks, it’s very sad and not sexy at all.

Is Luca gay? Hell if I know.

Is Luca a slut? He talks to like two people in the whole movie.

Lucameter: 2/100 pathetic (but like I get it it’s his first movie w/e)

L'ultimo terrestre (2011)

Does Luca smoke? Yes.

Does Luca sing? No, but Roberta is a captivating dancer.

Does Luca eat? No, though she takes a shot once.

Does Luca get slapped? Yes, but not in a fun way :(

Is Luca naked? No, but there are some thighs and belly with a mini skirt in between. No complaints.

Is Luca gay? Not enough data.

Is Luca a slut? No.

Lucameter: 1/100 horrible, Roberta deserved better

Waves (2011)

Does Luca smoke? No.

Does Luca sing? Yes, drunkenly!

Does Luca eat? They just won’t let him put food into his mouth! Watching Gabriele trying and failing to eat is Hitchcock-level suspense, though it all comes to a very satisfying conclusion when the camera isn’t focusing on him for a second, and he friggin’ inhales the food off the table.

Does Luca get slapped? No, but he gets pushed around a lot.

Is Luca naked? No, but he does take off his shirt a couple of times. Also his legs are like completely hairless?? Has anyone ever noticed that? They shaved his legs!

Is Luca gay? No proof that he is, no proof that he isn’t.

Is Luca a slut? No, he is the sweetest purest cinnamon roll.

Lucameter: 37/100 it’s getting better

Nina (2011)

Does Luca smoke? No.

Does Luca sing? No, but he plays the cello and dances.

Does Luca eat? No.

Does Luca get slapped? No.

Is Luca naked? No, though even if he was, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy it because he never gets any close-ups or decent lighting.

Is Luca gay? He’s shown to be into ladies.

Is Luca a slut? Please, he’s barely even a character.

Lucameter: 0/100 unwatchable

Tutti i santi giorni (2012)

Does Luca smoke? No.

IN CHARACTER

Name: Rogan Highlander

Faceclaim: Gabriel Macht

Gender & Pronouns: Male. He/Him

Age: Forty Five

Occupation: Owner of Highlander & Sons Auto Shop

Neighborhood: Summit Lake

BIOGRAPHY

TRIGGERS: military, depression, crime, abandonment, single parenting.

The beginning of Rogan’s life was practically perfect, a happy boy with a cheeky smile plastered across his lips. Often called on in school for being bright, well-mannered and smart; he was off to a great start the moment he walked into the world with a family whom loved him and adored the ground he walked on. Rogan excelled in all aspects of school, girls never really bothering him as he hadn’t really grown into his looks. He was just seen as the comedian, someone people wanted to be best friends with but never wanted too date.  

But it wasn’t until he was old enough, the mere age of 15 that his family revealed to him the life they actually led. Rogan Highlander was brought up in the life of crime, a family of mobsters and drug dealer. But as a young teen he never really thought too much into it, not wanting to be forced to see his family any differently than he already did; perfect.

His father, Grady was a gangster, living a double life as Ronan imagined. Wanting him to learn so that one day he could take over the family business of the Auto Shop, Highlander & Sons eventually. Rogan had always wanted that, a quiet life working under his dad until it was time for him to take over the business.

Underneath that he had a desire to play music, often tucked away in his room strumming his guitar and writing music. Rogan knew his father would never agree with his love for music, so instead of pursing his real dream Ronan placed it on the back burner never wanting to disappoint his family. All he wanted was to be the perfect son and be happy.

As Rogan hit his older teen years many things in his life changed, the young boy who had been naïve to what his family were involved with changed. His first love went by the name of Lettie, a small blonde who threw him through a hurricane of emotions, like all first loves it ended in heart break for him and after that it changed his perception and women, not wanting to settle down or be tied to anyone.

After that Rogan became part of the very thing he’d once tried to ignore, joining his father and taking part in things he’d never expected he’d allow himself to be. After his father had got Rogan to really immerse himself in the life style, his son began to fall in to the lifestyle without much regard to his previous dreams. A need for thrill only grew as his age did, and something inside the boy changed him into his father. The two would have been mistaken for each other if looked at closely enough.

Rogan was a very complex minded character in compared to most of those he associated himself with, many faces to his personality but loyal to a fault. With a gift behind for a life of crime, something he’d harnessed as timed progressed, he began to garner the attention of females and as he grew into his own looks he seemed to fall more and more into the life of a gang member.

By the time he hit eighteen he did something that surprised his entire family and enlisted in the army. It had been something he’d thought about for a while; Rogan felt stagnant and wanted to experience life outside of his usual place.. The way he wanted to do that was by serving his country after everything he’d done to disobey the law. He wanted to get on the straight and narrow much to his father’s disappointment but still proud of his son for spreading his wings.

One year in the army, that was all Rogan got.

His dream was cut short when a simple night run ended in an explosion and an honorable discharge and after being free of his old life he had to quickly return home. He’d thought he’d finally found his place. But he had not. Depression was something that crept in time to time, feeling trapped and alone. Away from all his brothers that he’d met while he was over there. It was stuck in his room back at his parents’ house that he found his music again, and would later meet a woman that changed his life forever. Falling for someone who you believed walked on water, would die or kill for. That was exactly what Rogan found when he fell for the dark haired female.

It wasn’t long before he was down on one knee proposing and falling back into his family’s life of being in the gang. Wanting to provide for everything she wanted and needed, but of course at the time Rogan didn’t see that she was playing him; getting what she could out of him and making him do all the work for the relationship. When the pregnancy came around he was ecstatic and she was not, although he didn’t see it. Everything was through rose tinted glasses when it came to her.

And thus a beautiful baby girl by the name of Rosie was born.

Instantly Rogan knew what real love was when he saw his baby girl, something inside of him changed and he vowed he’d do anything in his life to keep her safe but the biggest heart break of all was waking up to an emptied house and realizing she’d left him with their daughter.

Twenty One years old and now Being a single father meant he had responsibilities he’d never known before like providing meals, making sure she had everything needed. Rogan finally saw his parent’s in a different light--- everything cost money and that’s how they’d provided for him.

That was all it took for him to finally fall in with the lifestyle, a full mobster who did this for his family, his daughter. Rosie had needs and he would make sure she’d never want for nothing. He had never wanted to get as deep as he did, but as time went on and he grew older; it was what he knew and needed to keep the lifestyle he’d created for him and his daughter.

MODERN DAY

Now aged forty five years old, with a twenty four year old daughter and his position within the gang as a Consigliere. Rogan lives for the job with the kind of power he’d always wanted, a need for power he’d never really understood until he’d gained the title. Rogan isn’t short on money and his like for the finer tastes of luxury were evident in his suits, constant need to look perfect and the car’s he drove. The auto shop was just the disguise he used to hide the business he did in it’s back rooms.

Rogan Highlander was a man to be friend but never somebody you should double cross. A smooth talker with the perfect answer for any question you had but a violent streak that had been nurtured over time. Women were something he used like a rag doll since his ex had left him, never settling down; many flings with women, married or not.

Who is the fancast for James? I tried scrolling but I couldn't find it. The one for Rowan is EXACTLY how I imagined him though.

I received both Theo James and Gabriel Macht for James but I’m inching closer to Gabriel. Right?? It’s how I pictured Rowan too. @friendlyarethefruitflies absolutely nails it. I’m going to release an updated fancast post soon. I’m getting lots of asks about one.
