Yes, the unfortunate therapist Dr. Darryl is back, and this time he's dealing with a witchfinder sergeant (formerly retired) with a one track mind. Companion ficlet to Finding Shared Ground, Conflict Resolution and Moving Forward.

From the Case Histories of Dr. Darryl Birkett: Socially Inappropriate Behaviour )

OMG. Shadwell. And The Them. And possibly even Lucifer!

Ok shall pick up my jaw and go reattach it now.

Eeep I've caused jaw detachment. Hope the re-attachment goes well :D Poor Dr. Darryl. I was planning to stop his torment at the Famine/Pollution ficlet, but the thought of Shadwell on the couch prove too much to resist.

the way things were going it wouldn’t be before Lucifer himself showed up to unburden himself

missed out a 'long' there in the 'wouldn't be...before Lucifer...'

I love this series of stories! Each one gets funnier and more creative! And Shadwell gets such little love.

Darryl swallowed. “Cursed you?” he said in a small nervous voice.

“Aye, with an ASBO. A terrible thing it is. I cannae even go to the butchers without her sending her infernal minions after me.”

“Infernal minions? Oh you mean the police.”

I think that section says a lot about modern England's justice system!

Thank you :D Am really pleased you liked.

Whoops, thanks for pointing out.

Hehehe, I just couldn't resist the idea of Shadwell falling foul of the legal system and getting ASBOed. Though I'm sure that the community is very glad that he got a rehabilitation order rather than community service (one can only imagine the chaos that would ensue if he were made to help out at a shelter for the homeless or local library or suchlike).

What's ASBO? *is confused*

Anti-social behaviour order. Basically there to get people who aren't committing a crime per se, but making others' lives hell. eg, the person who plays Celine Dionne all day at 180 decibels next door.

Oh, man, this is so great. XD I love the discussion of privates, and the Furby, and...poor, poor Darryl, with Adam coming in too. *giggles madly* Love it.

Thank you :D

Will the trauma inflicted upon Darryl at the hands of various GO characters never end? (I suspect that the answer to this might just be 'not until he's met them all'). As for the Furby, I can just imagine Shadwell looking through something like the Toys R Us catalogue and fuming at all of the clearly possessed toys.

Hard sweets made from sugar and other bits that've been boiled for hours.

It's a British thing, I'm assuming?

Love these!
and you have got to do a Them and/or Lucifer one! The community demands it! (Or at least, I do!)

Really pleased you enjoyed :D

I was originally going to stop at Dr. Darryl's appointment with Famine and Pollution, but something tells me that I'm going to end up inflicting most of the GO cast on the poor man.

He deserves it

It'd be a service to the community. Ours, not his. :P
