fic: slash, crack, there's a difference?
Sep. 20th, 2007 12:49 amTo make up for my last Psych fic, this one isn't depressing. Crack-y, more like. In my defense it seemed like a good idea at the time, which was very early in the A.M. (it usually is.)
As I said before, I'm all about the gen in this fandom. But this...might be slash. Or maybe it isn't. You'll have to ask Gus. No slashers were harmed in the making of this story, and any resemblance to any real persons or fictional stories is entirely coincidental. --Really; I haven't read much in the way of Psych-slash at all.
...Unlike Gus. Much to his chagrin.
Psych: Read Between the Lines; or, Slash and the Modern Psychic Investigator {3,659 words}
PG-13 for. Er. Suggestive imagery.
Shawn Spencer will break down the fourth wall with a laser printer to get what he wants.
Read it on AO3

Date: 2007-09-19 06:08 pm (UTC)On a side note, I have had a friend tell me it would require rehab to get me off slash. I told her that only works if you want to give it up. (The innuendo was on purpose. That's how we roll.)

Date: 2007-09-19 06:42 pm (UTC)Oh, neechan. *hugs tightly* You are such a brilliant crazy genius-type, you know that, right?
I just took one little peek, to check out what you were up to this time, and I couldn't stop reading. I couldn't! Not even to go see if the potatoes were done in the kitchen (I hope they're not getting too mushy now) and - oh. OH. It's BEAUTIFUL and I love the summary like BURNING, and it just gets BETTER from there. Heeeeeee~!
Much, much love for Shawn and Gus and slash fangirls everywhere. ♥♥♥
And for you and J-chan, of course. *hugs*

Date: 2007-09-20 04:25 am (UTC)Shawn & Gus are love, no? Have you watched any yet? How much? do you like it? Is there any way I can make you like it more? ^^
*hugs hugs* & thank you for reading, you know how happy that makes me! <3

Date: 2007-09-20 04:29 am (UTC)...as for Psych, errrr well it's vaguely possible I am actually writing more at this very moment. Though this is the exception; I'm seem to be reverting back to my gen h/c roots. As usual. (love the show but Shawn does not get hurt enough, dangit! ...eheh. Fangirl issues much?)

And then, dude! Bow-chicka-wowow!
Eight times!
LOL!
Awesome story. :D

Date: 2007-10-05 02:14 am (UTC)—dripping like maple syrup sap from the head detective's impressive Irish wood—
Made me giggle aloud. In a very manly way. *cough*
This, however, is completely unbelievable. "Your 'playful smile hides untold pain and anguish'?!"
"Of course it does," Shawn says. "Dude, I'm deep!"
*snork* I can hear this in Shawn's voice, too.
It's not just gratuitous sex. There are plots. Deep plots.
Deeply, deeply terrifying plots.
Eeheeheeheehee. Yes, yes, they are. Especially if they involve you.
"Oh, Gus," Shawn says fondly. "They don't want you dead. They just want me to experience the pure catharsis of soul-rending grief. And to have hot sex with Lassie."
Nyaha.
Then he kicks the can over and picks it up again, so Shawn will notice the dent and won't remark on the different configuration of garbage.
Ooh, Gus is getting smarter from dealing with Shawn's detective work!
Though he might guess anyway. Shawn's annoying like that.
Aww, poop.
"Slashersayswhat?"
Okay, I seriously laughed aloud. OMFG. I'm going to have to greet you this way from now on.
She's too nice. He has to be wrong about this; she's far too nice to want to knock him off, even for the sake of Shawn's cathartically soul-rending grief.
Oh, it hurts... it hurts... Please don't be Juliet! Even though... Gus, you just don't understand fangirls!!
"—What is—who wrote this? How do they know—"
Shawn wrote it!! *stifles self, waits*
Okay, soooo... if every line beginning with a "--" after He has a good reading voice, when he wants to. is Shawn reading, does that mean that they actually do kiss? I hope so. ^^
Ohhhhh, man, this is awesome. Half-meta, all hilarious. Poor, traumatized(, slowly brainwashed and converted) Gus. This fic is pure glee. ♥ "Slashersaywhat?" FTW.

Date: 2007-10-05 04:56 am (UTC)The worst (best) part is right at the time I posted this, on the psych-slash comm there were two different 'Gus dies & Shawn hooks up with Lassie' fics posted. (and then I'd killed Gus myself, though not for slashing purposes. Poor, poor Gus.)
The very end is Shawn's fic, though maybe it's reality, too - life imitates art? and the whole story's a fic anyway so - I ain't saying XP
Slashersayswhat?

Date: 2007-10-10 05:46 pm (UTC)I read "A Whisper to the Living" the other day. I cried 3 times. I still can't stop thinking about it. Shawn losing Henry and Gus at the same time and his guilt. You broke me.
Now.
This one? I couldn't stop laughing. The ending was perfect. Just subtle and feel just right. :)
The way you switched between the two extremes. I'm still a little broken over "A Whisper to the Living", but this one helps.
Thank you for writing and sharing such awesome fics!
Friending you! Hope you don't mind.

Date: 2008-01-05 07:54 am (UTC)On second thought, the best bit is totally Gus being able to swallow while blocking his nasal passages.
*shifts feets* I've totally been lurking and stalking you since, like, that Saiyuki fic where Goyjo gets hypothermia. But didn't review because it was ff.net and I never review on ff.net, but then I found your lj through stalkerness and the Clex fic was so awesome. So. *shuffles feet more*
no subject
Date: 2008-01-12 01:50 pm (UTC)--And thank you for coming out of lurking! I can be terrible about commenting myself, so I know what it's like to stalk and say nothing. I really appreciate knowing you're out there, enjoying my stuff (really gotta get back to the Clex sometime...)

Date: 2008-03-07 04:03 am (UTC)I knew as soon as I read the first scene that I'd picked the right story for this evening. Too funny! There's still a big smile on my face as I type this. You've brought back fond memories of a MediaWest Con panel that I attended on slash. Part of the discussion was regarding the physically uncomfortable or downright impossible sex scenes in some of the fanfic stories.
Anyway, a bored Shawn is a dangerous thing. He absolutely would delight in his new-found discovery of slash as a means of torturing Gus.
no subject
Date: 2008-03-07 05:32 am (UTC)But I'm so glad you enjoyed this! I'm a big fan of slash but I like to laugh at my own obsessions sometimes, and there is a lot of silliness in slash fandom. And Shawn torturing Gus will always be fun ^^
no subject
Date: 2008-10-30 05:09 am (UTC)I actually laughed out loud at that. Great fic!
Now, uh... Any plans to write more Psych slash? Like the bow-chika-bow part? Eight times!?
Plzkthx.
no subject
Date: 2008-10-30 06:52 am (UTC)No plans to write more at present, but I do like these boys, so ya never know!
