Hi Again! If anyone in Twitter remembers that I said I was working on a fic based on a song I was working on in voice I just want to say: Here it is! It's bittersweet. Harvey and Donna finally together and happy but found sacrifices have to be made when others are depending on you. This first chapter is short and all are based on the song and the verses. Please R&R.- Carebearmaxi

What I Did For Love

Kiss today goodbye

The sweetness and the sorrow

We did what we had to do

Can't forget. What I did for Love

What I Did for Love?

By Hamlisch & Kleban

-from "A Chorus Line"

Harvey stood in what used to be his office. He had a small paper crate of what was left of his possessions. Here he had grown over so many years. This had been his office since Jessica had given it to him after making him a junior partner. Here was where he had been dubbed "the best closer in Manhattan". Well, Jessica had dubbed him that because he had attained an incredible record of wins playing the man instead of the odds. Here he had been at the top of his game sleeping with whom he wanted, driving the fastest cars, and wearing the most expensive and best tailored suits just because he could afford it. Here he also learned what it was like to really mentor someone and watch him grow. Here he had learn to grow himself through that experience and all it had entailed. Here he also had watched members of his firm family leave; yet finding that he was still loved and could love his biological family. Here he had promoted the one constant in his life and maybe slightly before that her growth had made his incredible record of wins begin to even out with losses: Mike, Rachel, and Jessica (the incredible painful losses). Through it all he had DONNA. Even when he was told he could not have her work with him, he sacrificed his personal life to have her by his side in some capacity. Only it turned out that the capacity he really wanted her; he had no right to ask her. She was moving on as well.

They had stood in the rain as the firm they both loved had finally dissolved into nothing. After so many years of knowing each other and actually giving their love a once in a lifetime shot, it was so clear that both needed to leave for the good of the firm and the good of their own souls.

"Kiss me," he pleaded with Donna as the rivulets of rain poured down his neck and slipped down the neck of his jacket making him shiver. He shakingly put a hand to her face. It was raining so hard and her face was sad that he could not tell which was rain and which was tears on her face.

"Why? It's painful that after I do we can never do it again. Besides I'm with someone else now," Donna said the corners of her mouth turned down.

"Kiss me goodbye, Donna. Remember I will always love you, but..." Harvey trailed.

"No, it's better for the firm and...for us...Thomas and I will have no peace until you leave.

So there he had to leave and she had finally decided she had had enough. Harvey did remember she was losing her constant, too. The firm. She had made sacrifices as well and most of them, if not all, were due to him.
