So um...when I'm writing (like actually writing and not saying I am and then dicking around for hours/days/weeks/months...ok/years shut up) I don't like to read fanfic or real fic unless it's completely unrelated to what I'm writing. If I'm writing angst, I'm reading fluff etc... I feel like it ruins my focus otherwise and getting me to focus and sit down and write is difficult enough. I also will not read anything for the fandom I'm currently writing for
(should I not be doing something Original). I've been working on something fairly angsty, so I haven't been reading Rareslash at all lately, especially anything There Will Be Blood or 3:10 to Yuma, I'll get back to them later. But since my brain has been narrowed to angst my fun reading habits have led me to the show Psych and all the silliness of Shawn/Lassiter.
Psych btw is a ridiculous yet funny show about a hyper genius named Shawn with some serious issues because of his cop-for-a-daddy and how he ends up as a super detective pretending to be a psychic and pissing off a very grumpy cop named Lassiter and annoying the hell out of his best friend Gus. It's got that freak vs stuffy guy dynamic that I love in all its variations. Very Sparrington. Then you add in the quick dialogue and I'm all over it like it was made of chocolate and vodka.
So, as I edit, I give you some pretty Shawn/Lassiter (I will not say Shassy) slash recs:
A Yuletide story by Lenore-What Happens in Freedom Stays in Freedom Not only awesome and funny but the Lassiter Voice is just amazing. Lassi is portrayed as actually being competent and Shawn is brilliant but flaky. Plus, hot smex.
For a good combo of angst and sweetness, there's 30 Kisses by Auntie_climatic. Shawn and Lassiter over the course of the first season. Also showing perfectly just why I heart Gus. Totally and completely supportive of Shawn--even if he doesn't need to hear all the details.
Total funny morning after fic-- Progress by Corona. Possibly the best Shawn voice *ever* and the view of Lassiter isn't too bad either. :P
By sparkysparky: Guns Are Not Your Friends, or That Time Shawn Got Shot. Short and cute, you know, for a someone getting shot story. :)
Henry Spencer, Matchmaker by Ryann Blackwood. Shawn's dad, gruff and brilliant and loving, if not exactly the model dad, nonetheless decides it's time his flaky son settles down, and he's out to find the bride or groom for him. Good Henry pov, but mostly, I really, really wanted Shawn to continue that lap dance he started on Lassiter in the serial killer episode and this story really worked that for me. hee!
Sexy Lassiter as aggressor fic--Tactics (or Five Times Juliet's Medding Didn't Work and One Time It Did).
And then, Read You Like A Book by N.T. Whip. Short segments of everyone around Shawn getting the obvious before Lassiter does. There's a sequel from Lassiter's pov, but I like this one by itself too.
That's it for now. I adore Gus, (the chocolate Columbo!), someone write me a convincing Shawn/Gus and I will read it, but for right now I actually support the *het* cutesy Gus/Juliet. * het squeee* Also, for such a light-hearted show, they really want to go there with the angst. Which means, if I ever wrote for it, I would totally angst it up and kill the mood. SIGH.
