This is a Psych/Moonlight crossover. As always though, you don't have to know much about Moonlight to get the story. HOWEVER, I do recommend you read the other stories first as they contain a lot of information needed to get this one.
This takes place between season 6 and 7 so there will be spoilers up to Season 6 and maybe references of revealed facts from Season 7. Also, the entire series of Moonlight.
I have to have a warning in this story: I am planning on making this a lot darker than the other fics so there will be some graphic violence later on. I am still hoping to keep the language PG 13 though to keep it in the spirit of the series.
I do not own Psych, Moonlight or any other TV series I may or may not make reference to.
1. Along Came a Spider by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 7] 
(3860 words)
Here it is guys! The long promised third installment of my Moonlighting Series. Psych/Moonlight Crossover. Hope you like the cover image for this one. It is my favorite out of all of them.
2. In Retrospect... by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 2] (4547 words)
This is me officially promising you that I can now update this story regularly! I got the first chapter out early because I couldn't wait anymore, but I will have at least a chapter a week for you guys. (Disclaimer: I do work A LOT and if said work distracts me from doing a chapter I apologize in advance.)
This chapter isn't as light hearted as I usually do. The humor is still there but it is very angsty. Would you expect anything else with Shawn having to break the news to his mom?
The action will pick up in the next chapter but for now, enjoy the touchy feely stuff I put in this one.
3. Untangling the Web by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 3] (4237 words)
Lots of feels in this one too but the action is starting to ramp up! Enjoy!
4. Dead Ends by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 3] (4361 words)
Finally! Some action! *Makes wooshing noises as she fakes karate*
Something cool to share with you guys too! I made a movie trailer for my first story in this series "No Such Thing As Psychics"

5. The Spider or The Fly by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 3] (3650 words)
A toughie to write this one. It's always hard introducing original characters, let alone a gang of them. I hope it isn't too confusing. :)
6. Missing In Action by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 3] (3412 words)
This one isn't as long as I usually do, but it has the Shawn whump I promised! Enjoy.
Thanks to Singingpurplerose for the story shout out. If you haven't already, check out her story Vampiristic Intentions! You even get to vote for the ending here!
7. From Bad to Worse by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 3] (3693 words)
This one was hard to write. I did at least five different versions before I settled on this one. :) Enjoy
8. Monster Blood by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 3] (4552 words)
This is a very busy chapter. A lot goes on kind of at the same time. I hope I translated all the events well. The shit has hit the fan in a big way this chapter and I hope it pleases those who have waited patiently for it :)
9. A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Lose by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 3] (4447 words)
Another really involved chapter and probably the goriest I've done in the series so far. You have been forewarned. :)
I've been wondering if everyone likes the lengths I make them or if too much seems to happen all at once. I tend to go about 4000 words a chapter. Let me know what you think :)
10. Web of Intrigue by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 2] (4790 words)
NOTE: I put an image in the story to help with visualization. Hope it works.
Sorry for the delay on this one. Had two stories to finish up. Now that those are done, the updates will come faster for this story! I have also been working on keeping my POV's straighter a lot less confusing. Let me know if it is working out for you guys.
This chapter is a bit procedure heavy, but it gives the gang some insight into what they're dealing with.
I put in a surprise at the end that had been promised in the Moonlighting 1.5 story "12:04am Wake Up Call." See if you can guess what it is.
11. Desperate Times, Call for Despereaux Measures by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 3] (2476 words)
I am sorry for the short chapter. Been super sick, but as an apology for the lateness, I added an unplanned Shawn bit.
This is probably my favorite title of any chapter I've written. it fits so perfectly. :D
12. To Catch a Thief by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 2] (3764 words)
Yea! You have no idea how happy I am to get this chapter finished. Been a hard one to write. Hope you enjoy it.
13. The Truth Comes Out by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 3] (4364 words)
Not much to say but I hope you enjoy!
There is some allusions to disturbing and gory acts so if you are sensitive to those kinds of things, be warned.
14. Crossing the Line by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 4] (3927 words)
Sorry about the wait for this one. Christmas obligations and inspiration that seemed to elude me are to blame.
Enjoy and I will do my best to get the next chapter to you asap.
15. Seeing Red Again by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 4] (5162 words)
A warning, this chapter has some graphic content.
I've been wanting to write this chapter since the beginning. I am so excited to get it out to you guys! The title is from Chevelle's "The Red" Awesome song if you want to check it out.
16. Putting the Animal Down by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 5] (5437 words)
Whew, this one was a toughie. A lot of emotional stuff coming to a head in this chapter.
17. Hanging by a Thread by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 2] (5528 words)
Okay, I lied. There ended up being two chapters left.
I liked writing this chapter because I got to show how damaged Shawn was, but in traditional Shawn style, he still tries to hide it.
18. Many Happy Returns by Redwolffclaw [Reviews - 4] (6321 words)
Well, this is it. I did my best to tie up the loose ends, but I am leaving some of the suspense for the next installment. YEP! I'm writing another one. I'll talk about it more at the end but for now, enjoy.
