Shaggy the Handler is a trilogy of Scooby-Doo (more specifically, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!) fics by Rorschach's Blot. They're a series of oneshots about Shaggy's experience as a war veteran.Vietnam is a simple fic, just shy of 1000 words, about Shaggy being a Vietnam veteran. While out with his friends, Shaggy gets a call from the wife of one of his army buddies. His friend has died and his wife wants Shaggy to come to the funeral.Scars is the longest at 4000 words. Shaggy has a panic attack after hearing a train whistle. This leads to him meeting a police officer who is also a veteran. Eventually, Shaggy reunites with his friends and they solve a mystery at a war cemetery.Let Sleeping Dogs revolves around Shaggy rescuing a lost girl. While away, Daphne and Velma uncover his past after getting curious about it.Three idea snippets (incomplete and Word of God is that they are "unofficial" at the moment): Blood, Ghosts and Handling Hawaii.The premise sounds silly, but the fanfics cover it seriously. The writer was inspired by a trip to a video store, where one television had some Scooby-Doo clips on and the other had a war film. The original cartoon took place in the late 1960s and early 1970s, so the idea of one of Mystery Inc. being a Vietnam veteran came to mind. | |

Lovable Coward | |
| Shaggy the Handler (Fanfic) / int_18d420b0 | comment |
Lovable Coward: In a brief omake, Velma and Daphne call Shaggy this. A nearby cop warns them politely but icily not to use that word, since while he Wouldn't Hit a Girl, he finds it very offensive they are using that language to describe Shaggy, especially with what he knows of his war record. If they were male, he would personally knock them out for the insult. | |

| Shaggy the Handler (Fanfic) / int_2de495bb | comment |
Missing Child: In Let Sleeping Dogs, Shaggy looks for a little girl that went missing while out with her family. It turns out that she went to the bathroom, got lost, and hid in a log until she was rescued. | |

| Shaggy the Handler (Fanfic) / int_306faf0d | comment |
Close to Home: Being a war veteran, Shaggy really doesn't like people vandalizing the graves of war veterans who died in action. In Scars, after Scooby tracks down the culprit (a crooked developer wanting to bulldoze a veterans cemetery and build a housing development over it), Shaggy gives the vandal a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown for doing such a thing, before calling the police to retrieve him. | |

Awful Truth | |
| Shaggy the Handler (Fanfic) / int_363f94c9 | comment |
Awful Truth: Shaggy didn't tell Mystery Inc. that he's a Shell-Shocked Veteran from the Vietnam War because he didn't want to shatter their idealistic world-view with stories of his experiences. | |

Trauma Button: In Scars, Shaggy has a panic attack when he hears a train whistle, causing him to hide under a bench thinking he's in the battlefield again. Thankfully, a cop (who's also a fellow war veteran) finds Shaggy and calms him down. | |

Big Eater | |
| Shaggy the Handler (Fanfic) / int_5fcedca | comment |
Big Eater: Deconstructed. Shaggy has such a big appetite because when he went back to find his first war dog, he forgot to tell someone to wait for him, so by the time he came back, all the choppers left without him. He spent the next week and a half trying to find the nearest fire support base, while experiencing near-starvation during that period. When he finally got there, he ate an entire box of C-Rations. | |

Never Be Hurt Again: Shaggy is a Big Eater because he spent several days in near-starvation trying to get to safety after he was left behind by the military. The experience haunted him even after the war ended, and he never wanted to go through it again. | |

Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: One more point for Higgins in Handling Hawaii, who is able to hire Shaggy to teach the Masters state dogs obedience when Magnum just discovered that Shaggy is a Living Legend in the police and military dog handler circle and, most importantly, the kind of deniable asset the government really prefers to keep denied. | |

I Was Never Here: In Handling Hawaii, Thomas Magnum's attempt to contact Shaggy Rogers for hiring has him meet one of his old military contacts, who is freaked out that his own contact he asked to look for Shaggy called him an hour ago and told him that he better pretend they never had met and hung up. Thomas and his friend both figure out that Shaggy is officially retired from the military but still occasionally employed for deniable ops. | |

Deconstruction Fic | |
| Shaggy the Handler (Fanfic) / int_e6b8db89 | comment |
Deconstruction Fic: The entire trilogy (and its unofficial snippets) deconstructs Shaggy's character and the 1960s/1970s setting of the original cartoon. Shaggy is a Vietnam veteran who won't reveal his past to even his best friends. His cowardice is due to him being a Shell-Shocked Veteran, his baggy clothes hide numerous scars, and his notorious appetite has roots in a time where he almost starved to death. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business | |
| Shaggy the Handler (Fanfic) / int_e83f211c | comment |
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: In Vietnam, Shaggy, normally a Big Eater, leaves his food behind after receiving a call from the wife of one of his deceased army buddies. Fred thinks Shaggy found a new mystery and decided to stay out of it, but Daphne and Velma are worried. In Let Sleeping Dogs Daphne sees Fred more disheveled than she's ever seen him; this is because there's currently a little girl missing and every second counts when it comes to missing cases, prompting Daphne and Velma to similarly rush out the door. | |
