Hello! Short fic AU for our favorite Harvey and Donna. Please give me love and leave a review. Thank you!
Prompt: darvey au where harvey specter is a film director looking for an actress for his new film and saw a redheaded off-broadway actress named donna paulsen and instantly fell in love with her acting and also with her.
Harvey is frustrated. He still hasn't found his main actress and he is days away from starting the production for his new film. Harvey Specter as a director is very choleric. Everything should be done in order and without setbacks or delays.
He is desperate. He held auditions for the main actress but all of them were not fit for the main role. He is looking for something, but he's not sure what it is.
His film is about a woman who is a single mom and needs to provide for her sick child who has cancer. The woman juggles through several part-time jobs to pay for the hospital bills of her son. For Harvey, to portray a woman who is struggling is easy. But he needs something, and he needs to find it fast.
He tried to ask for suggestions from his other director friends but every time they suggest an actress, Harvey has doubts or he simply doesn't like them.
"Why don't you find off-broadway actresses? If you can't find famous actresses that fit the role, try to think outside the box and watch off-broadway plays." Mike suggested, his assistant director
"Why would I risk that? This film is everything to me, you know that right? This is my shot for the Oscars and I need a good actress to play this role." Harvey said frustrated
"I'm just saying, Harvey. There's no wrong in looking there." Mike said and walked away leaving Harvey to himself.

Walking the streets of Manhattan, Harvey finds a small theatre place for off-broadway plays. He listened to Mike's suggestion and tried to find a suitable actress for the role.
Walking inside, it is really small compared to the theatre places he usually goes to. Lucky for him the show hasn't started yet and he had enough time to find a seat where he can see the actors.
When he sat down, the lights went off and the show started.
Watching them act, he easily got bored because almost all the actresses are either too young or too old for the role. He wanted to leave already but his gut told him to wait and try to finish the play.
In the middle of the play, a beautiful redhead entered and captivated the audience with her amazing acting, Harvey included.
There was something in her that makes you stop and stare at her. It's like she owns the room and you have no right to look at other people, only her. There is something in her eyes that makes you believe in everything she says. She is graceful and beautiful. Looking at her act is like falling in love for the first time, magical.
She is the one. Harvey thinks to himself.
