EX DEA Special Agent Cassidy Reed had gone through many hardships in her life. Dealing with the loss of her daughter, she ran away from her problems. Now in Santa Barbara Cassidy runs into a familiar face, a face she knew all too well...Shawn Spencer, the man's heart she broke years ago.

Knowing he's a fraud  for claiming to be Psychic, Cassidy promises to keep his secret in return he doesn't pry into her past life. Shawn gets suspicious of the woman he was once deeply in love with realizing she's not the same person as she once was and begins his own investigation only to find out what she's hidden is a lot deeper than he ever imagined. He had a daughter.

As Cassidy and Shawn start to become closer once again, suspicious things start happening. Old faces start to reappear and new ones are introduced. 

With the help of Psychic Detective Shawn Spencer, can Cassidy solve their daughter's murder?

Mallory finds herself brokenhearted when she loses the love of her life in a tragic accident. She's left to pick up the pieces of her life with the help of her best friend, Kendall. Her job as a neonatal nurse helps to keep her mind off of her broken heart when something unexpected happens; she comes face to face with Dr. Samuel Daniels. Will she find love again, or will her grief blind her from her second chance at love and happiness? *** "Kendall is under the illusion that you're in love with me. Can you believe that? I just buried my fiancé seven months ago. She told me not to be blinded by my grief, not to see that you love me," I sigh. I notice Sam lower his head. "I'm guessing that must have pissed you off." "It did! I don't want her to ruin the friendship that we have. I like how we are. You throw the love word in there, and it freaks me out." I fight back my tears. Sam raises his head to look at me. "Listen, Mallory. I would never do anything to jeopardize what we have. Please don't let other people's observations of our relationship mess that up, okay?" *** 1st Place in The Candy Cane Awards 🥇 2nd Place in the 2020 Universal Awards 🥈 2nd Place in the Books and Beyond Awards 🥈

["The second his lips touched yours, the roar of bad memories and gruesome crime scenes that always filled the silence in your mind dulled down to a whisper. The darkness of the world faded into an afterthought, barely a blip in the back of your mind. The demons stopped clawing at your throat and settled down to hibernate for the night. For the first time in years, you felt like you could breathe. No amount of booze in the world could have compared to that feeling. You had found a new distraction, a new way to forget, and he was highly addictive."] * Following a particularly grueling case and an unexpected night together, the reader and Spencer Reid become friends-with-benefits: no expectations, no strings attached, nothing more than just using each other for sex. But as the reader and Spencer grow closer despite their best efforts, ghosts from the reader's past begin overtaking her present, threatening the delicate thing between them. And though their arrangement is just meant to distract them both from the horrors of their day-to-day lives, the reader comes to find that some horrors just refuse to be ignored. Some ghosts just refuse to stay dead. _ Beautiful cover by Cynthia (or clarade on ao3)!!

Before her father arrives home from the military, Cassidy meets a troublesome boy named Shawn Spencer who slowly brings her out of her shell. Slowly, Cassidy starts to develop feelings for him, feelings she never knew she had. But when Cassidy's father arrives home unexpectedly, things become a little more complicated for the two. Cassidy's father doesn't approve of Shawn and refuses to have those two together and forces her to break all ties with the troublesome boy in fear that all the hard work Cassidy has put into her sharpshooting and defensive training will go to waste, but Cassidy refuses to listen and begins to go against her father's wishes.

When Shawn Spencer ends up in the middle of nowhere, he calls Head Detective Carlton Lassiter for help. When the detective shows up, things are not quite as he expected. The usually hyperactive, happy go lucky psychic seems to be hiding a dark secret. Can Carlton get through to Shawn and help him? TW: Intense hurt/comfort story explicit content. Descriptions of abuse, sexual assault, non-consensual sex. Self-harm and suicide. Drug and alcohol descriptions. Murder and torture descriptions. The final chapter is just a shameless bit of smut. lol, if you're not into that, you can end on the chapter beforehand without missing much. If you can think of a trigger, it's probably in this story, lol. There are a few references to previous episodes, but nothing too extravagant, I don't think. I do not own psych or any of the characters. As much as I wish I did lol I know it's long, I kind of originally only wrote this for my own personal fun. But I figured it couldn't hurt to put it out there now that it's finished. I'm sure there are some inaccurate medical points lol and time frames are a tiny bit sketchy. Some of the characters do go a little out of character but I tried lol end of the day this is all imaginary, if I want carlton lassiter to be a cute little worry bear then that he shall be haha. The culprit was chosen because I never liked the character in the real show, lol. Anyways, sorry if you don't like it. But hopefully, you can just move along to a better story if so :) If you do like it, feel free to leave comments or constructive criticism.
