xparrot: Chopper reading (Default)

So here's that fic I was talking about before. Let me just establish for the record that this story is pretty much nothing like the show whatsoever. It's not really dark-fic except in that it's a tragedy written for a comedy, and, uh, no, I have no idea what is wrong with me.

Concerning Psych, this vid which I can't stop watching perfectly captures what it's really about, that is, zany antics and cute chars being idiotic. And idiotically cute. --Incidentally the last ep (mid-season hiatus finale, dang cable shows) was much with the hysterical, between the ducking at 'retirement' and Kevin Sorbo and the various frantic dives for the phone and "Been a long time since we've napped together" and also Lassie called him Shawn! Is that the first time? Like, omg squee!!!1! (...okay, yes, I'm fanning on this show more than I ought to be. I dunno, I can't help it.) Though I could've done without the final scene, oh please, show, don't go there, I love Juliet to bits but please, no.

Anyway. Here's the fic that I didn't mean to write. Plotted in collusion with [livejournal.com profile] gnine, because two angst-loving fangirls are always worse than one, and we have a bad tendency to ask 'What if...?' a lot. I'm not actually going to say that the best ideas here were hers, but...they probably were.

WARNINGS: Character death. Considering how I hate deathfic as a rule, it's odd how many I find myself writing. Also, there's no pairings. Sorry, 'shippers, I'm all about the gen in this fandom.

Psych: A Whisper to the Living {12,102 words}
PG-13, gen futurefic (AU variety that will never happen in the show, thank goodness), drama, angst (oddly, more drama than angst.)
Ten years after the Psych agency closed, Shawn Spencer returns to Santa Barbara.

Eeeeheeee! Isn't it a fun show? It gets better as it goes along, too, the chars all become more likable. And then you start crushing on Shawn while smacking yourself because you really ought not to like him so, but, uhh, he really is charming, for such a total idiot.

Well, this isn't my first (or only, eheh) fic for Psych...it's just 'cuz we were talking, and...ummm. Well. If you watch a bit more of the show...it's consistently a goofy comedy, but the chars do have a certain depth to them that lends itself to fanalysis.

Hope you enjoy being traumatized, when you build up the courage to be, as always I'm excited to have you reading my stuff! XD
