Why This Must Be Read: First of all, this is actually
two stories, but I'm reccing them together because the author posted them together, and since that was her intention, I'm going to assume she wanted them paired together. They are both short and they share some common themes, aside from just being Five Things stories, themes like lying, and the use of *any* beyond-the-ordinary abilities, and the way that people who know Shawn might know he's a liar, and yet they still want to protect his secret. (Which kind of implies they know how vulnerable Shawn really is, which is just delicious).
The first is
Five Superpowers The Psych Cast Doesn't Have. Which features God-like Lassiter, which is strangely
HOT, and also just a light touch of angst. It also features glimpses of Shawn through the eyes of his friends and coworkers, and reveals what they think of his "superpowers".
The second is
Five Times Shawn Almost Told Lassiter His Secret, But Didn't. Which is kind of...beyond sweet for a story about a liar and a very angry detective. This Lassiter isn't an idiot or complete jerk, which is always a bonus. The last short section is my favorite.
Five Things...
