Meat Is Murder... But Murder Is Also Murder. 

I can't believe I forgot about Beatrice/Battler when I was doing that 'list your top five canon and non-canon OTPs' thing. I am a fool.

Major Umineko spoilers; highlight to read: It's the most incredible enemies-to-lovers story I've ever experienced. She murders his family repeatedly in front of him while he screams and cries! She uses him as a footstool! She strips him and leads him around on a chain and feeds him alive to goats! She's simultaneously his aunt and his cousin! Later they get married!


I'm still having a great time with Psych. By this point I'm most of the way through the second season.

Juliet trying to mimic the dancers in the background during 'American Duos': extremely cute.

Shawn and Gus, simultaneously, when they're offered a couples' massage:

Gus: No.
Shawn: That's fine.

I'm increasingly suspecting that Shawn is in love with Gus while the possibility just doesn't occur to Gus. Poor Shawn. (I'm shipping Shawn/Gus so hard and I'm sad that it's not going to be canon. Well, not intentionally canon, at any rate.) 

'It's been a long time since we napped together,' Shawn says to Gus. Please let me see Shawn and Gus napping together. I was sad when they were presented with an 'OH NO, THERE'S ONLY ONE BED' scenario and Gus rejected the idea of sharing it. (Whereas Shawn seemed fine with the prospect. There's a pattern developing here.) 

Whilst I'm very much a Shawn/Gus and Lassiter/Juliet person, and I'm a bit dubious about Shawn/Juliet when he spends so much time hitting on her and being rebuffed, I did really enjoy the Shawn/Juliet 'very close talking' scene in 'Bounty Hunters!'. And Juliet disassembling and reassembling her pistol to settle herself afterwards! I still have such a weakness for moments that go right up to the 'unambiguously romantic' line without technically crossing over it.

'The Old and the Restless': Shawn dancing the tango with a much older woman is kind of... worryingly... hot? He seems really into it; there's no hint that he's repelled or not taking it seriously. I get the sense that, if she tried to kiss him, he'd just go for it.

Nobody seems to have uploaded the dance to YouTube. You've failed me, Psych fandom. 

Shawn seems like a good candidate for my addiction to writing fanfiction about one character falling in love with everyone, actually. I'm not saying I'm planning to write Shawn/everyone fanfiction, but I'm looking at myself and seeing a real risk that I might.
