Except I don't. I love you, and you write brilliant fic, but it still made me cry. For Shawn, for Juliet... for everything. It's so horribly wrong, but I could see it happen. It's not going to happen - thank goodness - but... if he lost them, if Shawn lost Gus and lost his dad, he'd snap. There would be nothing to keep him anchored, and because he can't not remember... If he didn't go catatonic (and let's face it - the only way that would happen would be through a massive blow to the head), this is something he could do. Would do, even. And it would destroy him, in the end. But before then, he could do something to... help. Shawn helps, and he's got no reason to look out for himself anymore, but he can help others.
I'm not very coherent, because it really did hit awfully hard (and totally below the belt!), but... I loved how Shawn still trusts Juliet, and how she still misses him, and how she and Lassie both knew he was the Whisper all along. How they're keeping his secret for him, because it's all they can do.
I liked how the profiler has him pegged as INSANE. Because. Yeah. Snapped.
