Better than Pugs by SnydersofHanover
[ - ]
Summary: This series is a 3 parter and a series of one-shots that chronicles what I would like to happen for the wrapup of Psych. Think of it as 3 episodes; one tagged on to the end of season 7, right before the finale, another mid-way through season 8, and the season 8 finale. This story will highlight how Shawn's and Juliet's relationship progress towards marriage and starting a family and how this forces Shawn to grow up a bit. There is also some Shawn and Gus dynamic and other character developments. Each story features a case file and have plenty of the Psych humor we all love.

Summary: Inspired by Psych's remake of one of their early episodes, I too thought my first story could use some improvement. Shawn and Gus investigate a series of break-ins targeting the Spencer men, while Shules encounters a surprising development in their newly re-kindled relationship. Set towards the end of season 7. First in 'Better Than Pugs' series. I do not own characters.
