Why This Must Be Read:
So I go on a lot about my objection to most Shawn/Gus fic being Gus himself. Gus has a whole lot of denial going on. And a whole lot of issues. (Yes, Shawn is a big bag of issues too, but Gus is far more practiced at Repress and Deny). This story is a brief and pretty powerful glimpse of the darker side of a Gus freakout, and the effect it might have on Shawn, who is as always smart enough to know the truth, but unable to get past it anyway. Shawn really, really does angst well for such a comedic character. He's just too obviously smart for us to believe he'd really believe in Gus' pretending. Just like Gus is too smart not to know that, and yet he still pretends.
A short, tight little piece of angst for when you're in the mood for something painful.
