Bio:

Aw, look at this poor little profile, it hasn't been updated in years. Well, it's 2018 and time to change that...


My name is Miranda, I'm 21, and I live in Texas. You might see me referred to as Mira, insert, or around the web as one of my other usernames: Zena-Xina or omgubler


So, I've been watching Psych since I was in 8th grade (2011) and have not stopped loving it since then. While I'm in multiple other fandoms (Criminal Minds, Supernatural, Doctor Who, Sherlock, Leverage, The Listener, Monk, etc...) I think the Psych fanfics are my favorite. It's hard to explain, why, exactly, but there's just a whole 'nother level of community within the Psych fandom that you don't see in a lot of other ones. SO many amazing writers as well.


Going through my stories you will find a major difference in quality. Mostly because I wrote a lot of them in late middle school and high school. I'm in college right now, so I'd like to think I have improved, somewhat.


Also, I would just like to place a permanent thank you right here to my writing buddy Koohii Kappu for being the best buddy one could ask for.


Secondly, thank you to anyone who has ever nominated or voted for me in the Psychfic Awards and anyone has ever submitted a review. It means a LOT to me.

Summary:

It started off as a sleepless night.  Hello, did I ask for an ambulance?  And now you say I could possibly get murdered?  I have a better idea, how about just knock me out for the duration of the story.  And don't forget my distaste for things pointy.

DAMN that was so good. How the heck did I miss this fic?? I used to do nothing but eat and breathe Psychfic... I thought I had read all of the major whump fics... I'm going to have to do some stalking of you're profile...

Author's Response: Hahaha!! This was quite early in my whump career so I'm not surprised it got buried! It still makes me thrilled to see new reviews for it!

Summary:

Shawn and Gus find themselves in trouble, without back-up, again.  Surprise, surprise.

I don't know why I'm always fascinated with Shawn's-been-shot stories.

Fury by dragonnan Rated: M starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 332]
Summary:

He could have handled the kidnapping, the taunts, being tortured... But there are some hurts that cut too far... and suddenly you aren't who you used to be... never will be... ever.

And when it's over, how do you move on?

WARNING- extreme angst and very grown-up subject matter. Not a kiddie story. Not even close.

I want to give this some kind of long, glowing, professional review that it deserves... But alas, I'm not capable of that.

I've read this before but I never reviewed it. Why? I'm not sure. I used to never really comment and stories at all but that was kind of a silly thing for me to do.

I mean, of course there is just a certain level of awesomeness that can't be expressed because well, it's written by you, legendary Drag.

It's just such a gripping, emotional story. Never a dry moment, nothing unreasonable or unrealistic. The characterization, the relationships...

It's just all so good...

I don't have the right words to explain in detail how amazing it is.

AHHHH.

I also never knew there was sequel to this when I last read it so I'm moving on to that now~

Lifeline by Nyxelestia Rated: T starstarstarstarstar [Reviews - 22]
Summary:

Shawn's kidnapped by some old criminals with a vengeance, and Henry enlists the SBPD to help him get his son back.

Combined and extended versions of "Silence", "Questioning", and "Blood" from "Angst Junkie's Fix", and this is also an answer to GBFreak1's challenge "Gratuitous Violence".

Oh wow that's really interesting to have this whole thing happen from Henry's POV. We have no idea what happened to Shawn, just that he was badly tortured and such a distraught emotional state when they finally found him. It was really interesting to see the whole back side of the story this time.

Summary:

Total and complete angsty crackfic.  Complete goriness, pointless deaths, and traumatized Shawn.  Enjoy!

Reviewer: insert56 Signed starstarstarstarstar
Date: June 05, 2018 Title: Chapter 19: Epilogue

I agree with 2012 me, I WANT MORE!!!

I just noticed you said this is part of a series... I might have to go check if that's true.

Also, can I say that this is so fantastic?? I kind of wished he had been caught on his way back into Mexico, maybe? Like, I don't know he spent more time with the traffickers? But I guess it's good that you let him spend enough time to be traumatized but not *too* traumatized.

But yeah I freaking love Shawn whump and angst, especially pre-season, so this really "wets my whistle"... man that sounds creepy.

I love how Henry and "Claire" (I assume this was written pre-season 3?) interact with each other, from their moments of deep distraught to fighting right over Shawn.

Ok okay I cold go on and on, but know basically this is one of my favorites...
