1. Prologue: Famous Last Words by windscryer [Reviews - 16] (264 words)

*a kevlar battle helmet covered head pokes up behind a wall of titanium fronted by sandbags*

Okay, first I need to apologize for being the biggest freaking hypocrite in the universe.

No lie.

See, any of you who have gotten reviews from me know that I badger and berate and threaten you to post faster and I know that most of you are posting as you go. You actually have an excuse to delay between posts because you're still writing the story.

Me? I'm just selfish. ;D

But I'm going to try to make it *look* like I'm not by telling you that I'm only posting one chapter a week even though it's completely finished and betaed because I'm hoping this will give me the time to finish and beta my next story before this one is fully posted, thus lessening the wait between stories.

But I promise if things move faster than I anticipate and I'm ready to post sooner I will definitely speed this one up.

Until then . . . Sorry! *ducks and takes cover in preparation for the massive assault she knows is coming to rain down on her head*

Oh and thanks go to Lily and Luna, the two bestest betas in existence. Without them this story would have been a third of what it is in both length and quality. Ladies, you rock the house. :D

Also thanks go to Emily...Omelet without whose excellent knowledge of Psych episodes in the face of extreme blondeness this story would never have been finished. You rock too!

No canon characters were permanently harmed in the making of this fic. (Although it was a close one for some of them, believe you me. *coughcoughHenrycoughcough*)

2. Chapter 1: A Tangled Web Was Woven by windscryer [Reviews - 18] (2679 words)

This week is an exception to the 'once chapter a week rule' because, Dude, the prologue is basically a transcript from the episode. Intriguing in the context of the story, I hope, but certainly not enough to expect too many of you to come back next week. So you get two chapters this week. YAYZ! :D

Also, I did mention this was a future fic, right? And shamelessly Shawn/Juliet?

Well now I did. If it ain't your cup of tuna turn back now. ;D

3. Chapter 2: Expect the Unexpected by windscryer [Reviews - 15] (3782 words)

Wow. It's a lot harder than it sounds to wait a week to post . . .

Anyhoo, here it is, in all its magnificent glory!

(Actually, the glory of this chapter will [hopefully] be surpassed by later ones. But since it is an update that makes it kind of glorious, right? :D)

4. Chapter 3: Complications by windscryer [Reviews - 14] (2427 words)

Okay so I know it's two days early, (Hey stop that whining and complaining and take it like a man! Unless you're a woman. In which case you should cowgirl up. ;D) but I just *had* to celebrate the fact that I've had 1000 hits on this story alone! (Which is probably mostly people coming back to see if it's updated . . . but that STILL means you like it so I'll take whatever I can get! :D)

So here it is without further ado: Chapter 3!

5. Chapter 4: What's Eating Lassie-face by windscryer [Reviews - 11] (2835 words)

I've decided to ignore popular opinion and discount all the votes that were cast.

I just thought I'd post an empty chapter and let you know.

J/K ;D

Srsly, you guys are all the best readers ever. The love is overwhelming.

(And the death threats are pretty cool too! ;D)

So here comes Chapter 4 with Nabby in a real honest to goodness suit! *drools*

Hang on and I hope you enjoy the ride!

6. Chapter 5: Assault With Intent To Derange by windscryer [Reviews - 9] (3289 words)

I know it's not Tuesday but DOOD!

WE GOT OUR THREE HUNDREDTH MEMBER ON THE SITE TODAY!

To celebrate I'm posting early.

*throws handfuls of confetti and blows a party horn*

HUZZAH! :D:D:D:D:D:D

7. Chapter 6: Times and Measures by windscryer [Reviews - 0] (4432 words)

It's that time again! :D:D:D:D:D

I'm so excited to post this next chapter because y'all are just so AWESOME!

Plus, we get to see normal!Jaime! YAYZ!

(And, GB, I swear, grouchy!Lassie is almost done. Really! ;D)

8. Chapter 7: The Ties That Bind by windscryer [Reviews - 10] (2961 words)

So after that FREAKING AWESOME SEASON FINALE LAST NIGHT, how could I *not* post?

Not that this chapter has *anything* to do with what happened in the epi. I'm just so jazzed I can't help myself. :D

So here we go. Some more Lassie, a little Henry, and a dash of Shawn just because I can. :D:D:D:D

9. Chapter 8: The Right To Face One's Accuser by windscryer [Reviews - 13] (4415 words)

YAYZ! I love Tuesdays now!

And I'm so excited, I'm not even gonna blather on beforehand.

GO READ! :D:D:D:D:D

10. Chapter 9: When Reality TV Attacks by windscryer [Reviews - 13] (968 words)

This will probably bring about the sharpening and brandishing of the pitchforks and the lighting of the torches and Molotov cocktails, but . . . this is a short one. The shortest in the story excepting the prologue, I think.

And I'm not going to post a new chapter until next Tuesday. I'm really not.

*ducks and hides*

But there is good news! I'm starting a new series. Another drabbley sort of thing, though not technically a 'Moments' series. Should be up soon and it will be LONG.

Anyway, here's the next chappie on THIS story.

Enjoy!

11. Chapter 10: Jiminy Cricket Dead of Windex Overdose by windscryer [Reviews - 14] (3857 words)

Here we are again! Tuesday! YAYZ!

I have good news and bad news: I will not be posting this any faster than once a week through to the end of it. There aren't many chapters left, but just thought you should know.

Th at was the bad news, btw, and there's, sadly, more. The chapter story I am working on is being a stubborn spoiled child and refusing to come out of hiding and play nice. It may be a bit on that yet.

BUT THE GOOD NEWS! :D

Beginning Friday the 10th of October I am starting a NEW series. And it's a *doozy*.

I don't want to give it all away but I will tell you this: January's premiere will be here in NO time. :D

So enough of my shameless plugging . . . ON TO THE STORY! :D

12. Chapter 11: New Beginnings by windscryer [Reviews - 9] (1771 words)

ALMOST DONE! AUGHHH!

*cries*

Well anyway, have fun with this one. I liked it. :D

And no, I didn't almost forget to post. *chuckles nervously*

I swear. ;-_-

13. Chapter 12: Surprise Endings by windscryer [Reviews - 8] (3406 words)

Wow. I can't believe we're here already.

*sniff*

My Tuesdays just became extremely boring.

Guess that means I'll just have to finish another story and right quick, too. :D

14. Epilogue: Home Again, Home Again by windscryer [Reviews - 18] (395 words)

Holy rusted metal, Psychman! We're here already?

;_;

I think I'm gonna cry.

This has been such an awesome journey and I'd like to thank everyone that took the time to come along and share the trip. Your reviews made my days a little brighter.

I love this fandom to death, as much because of the show that inspired it as the people I've met here. Srsly. You guys rock.

Another huge thanks to my rocking betas Lily and Luna. You girls were a huge help in making this story so much fun and I'll be forever grateful that you didn't let me embarrass myself by posting the piddly little piece of poop it was before. ;D

Unfortunately, it's time to say goodbye to this particular fic.

The good news is, I'm not quite done dabbling in this universe just yet. :D Expect more adventures down the road with Jaime and Anna and all of the cast we already know and love. :D

Okay enough with the mushy stuff. Let's finish this out with one more visit to ol' Lassie-face, shall we?
