Suffusion by ColieMacKenzie reviews
The rain has lessened, she thinks inanely, clinging to the random scraps of reality that she can process as they zip and crisscross through her brain. Much less than the downpour that stranded them here, on the side of some highway in the middle of New Jersey. A season four story, set after 'Cuffed.' One-shot. NOT a Christmas story. :)

inimitable model by SparkleMouse reviews
"It's been four months, Beckett. Gates finished it faster than you did." "It's not like I've had a lot of time to read, Castle. Not to mention," she turns, a smooth motion that makes her look almost boneless and wraps her legs around his waist. She slides closer, pressing her lips to his ear. "I was having sex with the author. I think you're well versed in how fast I can finish."
