I've always wanted to see this fic.

Shawn and Juliet are an established couple, and it's their baby's first Christmas.

You can have them stay in, go to Henry's, have Gus come over, whatever you choose, as long as it's a happy Shules baby fic. ;)

This challenge should contain the following:

1. Shawn and Gus join the Army. Shawn could have tricked Gus into joining with him. A fight with his father could have prompted Shawn to join.
2. No one knows where they are. Henry just assumes they took off since it wouldn't be the first time.
   
3. Nearing graduation a friend and fellow recruit is found murdered.
4. The police are called in to investigate and Lassiter and Juliet discover the whereabouts of Shawn and Gus.
5. Shawn and Gus upon suggestion from their instructors help the police in their investigation since it was one of their own killed.
6. Juliet tells Henry where his son is.
7. Shawn and Gus are still Shawn and Gus but different at the same time. Seems like joining the Army has changed them maybe for the better or maybe for the worse, you decide.
8. Have fun!
   

The only requirements for this challenge are that the case has to involve a serial criminal--it can be a serial killer, bomber, anything you want--and that the crime has to affect Juliet in a personal way, again, however you want. Be creative.

This should be angst/hurt/comfort. Barring that, you can include any characters and any ships you want.

Okay, so I've been in a really strange mood lately, so I issue this challenge:

Write a story in which Shawn has been turned into an animal.  I don't care if it was from a magical spell or the experiment of some mad scientist, I just want him to be an animal.  Preferably a cat, but a dog or bird would work too. 

I want to see how Shawn would react to becoming an animal and I would love to see how the rest of the characters deal with it, if they find out.

Will Shawn return to his human form, or will he be trapped forever?  It's up to you.  Be creative and have fun.
