Needs must?

[readingthedark]

Would any fiction writer I know find good use in the expression "needs must," as in, "Well, if needs must then we'll do that horrid thing we don't want to do..."?

I, uh, have definitely used "needs must" in casual conversation.

Not often. But definitely more than once.

Oh how I bet you have. I even would've been sad if you hadn't... <3
