I like this version much more than the real one. Thanks for sharing.

Wish Castle just left the precinct for good in this episode. He waited for her for so long yet the first one night stand material comes along, she goes after it. No one talks about it but she did sleep with Hunt even though they left it vague in the episode, why else would she call him on his offer for the drink?

Have seen this bias attitude a number of times by several writers who blame everything on Rick as if Beckett is this honest and straight arrow. Getting tired of it though

Delightful! Thanks

wonderfully done. This is so much better than what happened in the Limey

wish it would have really happened this way. would love a sequel!

I love your village. I think I want to settle there.
This was such a good story but I have a HUGE complaint: I want moarrrr! It left me wanting a lot more of it. Wahhhh!

So beautiful! Thank you

Ah... if only. Thanks for this alternative look at how things could have played at differently and for the better.

I love this so much! It’s perfect!

It's funny that people call Castle an immature POS. Seems that in their mind Beckett was an angel. She was a selfish teenager who never grew up. At least Castle got better day by day. She never did. The whole Limey debacle was a result of her keep lying to his face for a year. If their roles were reversed I'm sure the same people here trashing him would have demeaned his death as a penalty for lying to her.

Look what some one has posted: " TBH Kate Beckett should have had doubts about actually getting into a relationship with a guy who responded in that manner to a misunderstanding. Imagine into the future and Castle overhears half of a convo and jumps to conclusions again and becomes this nasty POS?" Well to answer his/her question, Castle should have had doubts about actually getting into a relationship with a woman who easily lies to her partner when she find herself in difficult situations. Imagine into the future and she finds herself in another of those difficult to handles situations (for her) and she end up lying to him again like a nasty POS? Oh wait! she did that! twice. Remember the whole AG job offer or going after LokSat!

This was great. I really enjoyed it and wish that it could have replaced the actual scene we saw on the show.

love it

Incredible story. Love it so much. Hope there are many more like this one in store. #Caskett #Always

Great story and one that reveals the extent of Castle's immaturity. The guy who can't keep his nose out of things, get his nose out of joint the one time he doesn't stick his nose into what he overheard. More, please!

Ohh! You’re such a good writer! I’ve missed your stories, and this one reminds me how much I miss Caskett. So good! Loved the prompt and the way you captured Beckett’s vulnerability. Thanks for keeping the love alive!
