Okay, there’s quite a few posts about Shawn’s super obvious crush on Pierre Despereaux.

Which is awesome. But how come I never see posts about how much Pierre clearly loves the way Shawn feels about him?

He may not say anything, but his expression says it all. His self satisfied smirk whenever Shawn compliments him, calls him the coolest man alive or whatever other things his infatuated mind can come up with. The way he melts at the way Shawn looks at him, amused and flattered and so so appreciative.

And it’s clearly important to him too, not just a nice bonus. He wants, needs Shawn to adore him, to a point where he risks a lot to escape from prison for one more job. He doesn’t need the money, he’s filthy rich. It really is just to impress Shawn, to prove he really is all Shawn thought him to be. A goal he openly admits to Shawn, to his face. After having spent a lot of. money to have him come to visit him.

Now, yeah, he uses Shawn to escape from prison - but impressing Shawn is also the only reason he does that in the first place.

So - he might like to act detached, but Pierre is absolutely not normal about Shawn either. He is allowing and enabling Shawn’s teenage girl crush completely.

Despereaux: Shawn, come see. I bought you the ugliest suit!

Shawn: Pierre, I love you so fucking much.

Hey, hey, writers of Psych. ☺️ J'ai une question 😄☝🏼Isn't it 😚 a little ✨counterproductive ✨ to bring back Shawn's obvious and actually cannonical mancrush 😊 in the same episode where he wishes he could tell Juliette he loves her?🙃 (S05E10) What is this, closure??? ( the man shows up again so I DOUBT THAT )

Why the fuck would you have Gus saying "which one are you freaking out about, Juliette or Despereaux?" ????

Why would you have Shawn absolutely bedazzled by this "art thief" and WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE BOUGHT HIM A BIRTHDAY PRESENT AND WHY DID DESPERAUX ACTUALLY TAKE IT??

No and the blatant "I don't love you anymore" to him!? SO HE DID LOVE HIM BEFORE. CANNONICALLY. OKAY. COOL. YEAH.

And what's that scene with Juliet!? She walks into the room and it plays like an "I'm hiding a hottie that would make you jealous so I'm super awkward" scenario and IT'S NOT EVEN SUBTLE CUZ JULES STRAIGHT UP ASKS IF THERE'S A WOMAN IN THERE BRO HELP ME.

And lest we forget the face Shawn makes when Despereaux's absolutely going at it with this lady ( WHO SPOILERS I GUESS: later betrays him by the by ):

AND THEY MAKE DINNER PLANS AT THE END!?!? huh HUH!?

What are you guys doing to me 🥰

Writers of Psych ☺️

Let's talk 😘

so yeah anyway, I’m gonna be writing that behemoth of a leverage-psych crossover AU verse consisting of multiple fics of varying lengths, and I will be embracing the poly shawn, “see you around/in the next town” shespereaux in addition to shules bc shawn has two hands and also pierre would have THRIVED in a leverage/person of interest type universe thank you very much. It is his original genre before he fell through the cracks into this frickin’ looney tunes nonsense XD

Wait for iiiiiiittt!!

It’s Psych Friday babbyyyyyyyy

Shawn’s not even trying to beat the allegations. ((But who is it about??? 👀))

Go check it out on TikTok!

so i watched extradition 2: the actual extradition part and i gotta say im surprised shawn/despereaux isnt very popular. its got like 10 fics on ao3 and its not the main pair in at least two of those

[omnisiash]

"Shawn Spencer is strai-" LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER no one who likes tears for fears can possibly be straight that maybe a girl kisser but that's also a boy kisser too

[wise-lizard-wizard]

@pineapple-psychic You did give amazing ideas. I love you. I having so much fun!!! Also, I never knew the ship name until now, you are the best!

Oh my god, I just realised from this post

That Shawn traveling for over ten years means that an AU where Shawn meets Pierre Despereaux pre-canon is more than possible. (Not that canon has ever stopped me but I love when puzzle pieces come together).

Shawn could become a detective (sherlock holmes style), that tracks down Despereaux after every heist but remains just one step behind. The special Homo-erotic relationship that exists between every detective and criminal they can never catch would apply.

That or they could become art thief partners (well, if Shawn's moral code changes ig). Hell, in the art thief au, it ould even be Shassie bc Lassiter is hunting down a pair of art thiefs that have been evading him for years.

So much potential!

Writers of the german Psych dub: COME ON. Are you serious?? Shawn wouldn't use formal you EVER. Does he exude polished politeness to you. elegant, impersonal distance. does he. DOES HE
