I started writing this, because this last season, I feel like we're being cheated. It feels like Harvey and Donna, while barely sharing any scenes at all, are actually together already. And it's been kept from us. It started in 5.16, when Mike and Harvey were outside the prison. Mike said "Donna always said you were looking for another you, I guess you found one" And Harvey smiled. And then Mike said "Time to get busy living or get busy dying" Harvey smiled again. I just felt that his mind went straight to Donna, saying "well that's god damn right" So I can't help but feel that he would finally go after Donna after that. Like he sort of owed it to Mike, to live.
The mid-season finale of season 6 sort of clinched it for me, so I started writing again, something I haven't done in quite a while. Anyway, here are some of my views on missing scenes. Hope you like them.
Oh and obviously I don't own any of the characters and blablabla

She answers her phone before the first ring is over. She had been waiting for it. As quick as she was to pick it up, she hesitates to speak. It might be better to let him start.
"Hey" is all he manages. The background noise tells her he is a car. Most likely Ray just pulled away from the prison parking lot.
"Hey" She replies. She let's the silence linger for a few seconds, before asking. "So, he's there?"
"Yeah, he's there." He sounds defeated. He had worked so hard to keep this from happening and the thought that it hadn't even been necessary to cut a deal at all, had made it all even worse.
"Can I come over?" He asks. What a time he picked for respecting the boundaries of her privacy. She thought of admitting to him that she wasn't at home. That she was at the office and it might be good if he came in, because the place was deserted. And all hands would be needed for there to even be the slightest chance of righting the ship. But then she thought better of it. What difference would this night make? She was going to keep this extra burden from him, just for one night. She would go to his place early tomorrow morning, bring him a cup of coffee and then tell him. So they could get to work early and start saving not only Mike, but also the firm. But tonight, she would give him tonight, she decided.
"You can Harvey" She started, not wanting to shut the door in his face. "But I think there is somewhere else you should go. To someone else, actually. Someone who might need to see and hear from you too right now."
"Rachel" He says, understanding her immediately. He had already thought about that. Of going there. But fearing that his own weakness might show now he was feeling so vulnerable, he had opted for the selfish choice. He had called her, because she had already seen him vulnerable, and it was the lesser of two evils for him. Slightly less embarrassing. But of course, she was completely right. As always. He should be heading over to Rachel.
"Yes Rachel. I think it would be good for both of you."
"What do I say to her?"
"Say… say whatever you want. Maybe just talk about Mike, if that feels right."
"Okay." He sounds resigned. He can't see how yet, but Donna is right, it might be good for both Rachel and him, to talk about Mike tonight.
"Call me when you need to okay?" she asks.
"I will" he promises.

AN: I do aspire to actually become a writer one day so all serious feedback is very much appreciated. Also, English is not my first language, so any feedback on that would also be very welcome. Especially since I'm considering writing a book in English.
