This is an idea that struck me a while ago, but I just started it. Each chapter is going to be based on a different word of the day. I'll collect them in batches of 7 - for one whole week - before I post them. They're all independent of each other, involving everyone and everything. Some go with episodes, some don't. Unfortunately, I don't own any part of Castle. Not even one of those amazing Beckett coats.

I hope you enjoy these! Let me know what you think!

Love, Tappin.

Day in and day out they worked. They stood for people who could no longer stand for themselves. Stood for families who needed their guidance. Families who were at a loss for what to do.

They went through the steps. Took precautions. Followed protocol. And did a damn good job. They knew what they were doing. These were not green cops just learning which end of the gun to hold.

Beckett, Ryan, Esposito.

Trained detectives.
