Summary:

Gus was always hounding Shawn for not taking Psych checks to the bank and being "responsible." So it's just Shawn's luck that the one time he goes... so does a crazy gunman.

My Take:

This is a really intense piece, and it's one of the works that includes an OC that I like. Honestly, this fic more than deserves its place on my blog.

Summary:

Shawn and Gus were celebrating the opening of a new nightclub near Shawn’s apartment. The night was turning enjoyable, drinks were reasonably priced, the music was deafening but danceable and with a magnificent feat of wingwomanship, Shawn had found Gus a girl. A true miracle indeed.

Not to sound smug, but this had been a brilliant idea on Shawn’s part.

But then Shawn wakes up in an alley early the next morning, covered in cuts and bruises, miles away from the club and her apartment, with no memory as to how she got there.

And Shawn is scared.

For the first time Shawn finds herself on the other side of the thin blue line, not as a suspect, but as a victim.

And Shawn thinks she preferred being the suspect.

My Take:

This is a fun fem!Shawn piece that I really enjoyed. It deals with some anxieties that may be triggering for sexual assault victims, but I thought this author handled the subject quite well.

I really enjoyed this one. Shawn doesn't feel like a whole different person. She feels like Shawn is the same person, and I really appreciate that. Many fics make the character change majorly and live according to stereotypes once a gender change occurs.

Not this one.
