you picked an excellent starting point — I’d forgotten how frustrating this episode was until I saw it again recently. Interesting method Castle employs to get them to talk. It was either a functions. Way to get talking or an excellent plan to get incapacitated. Still, it took some actual conversation to mend their rift.

Finally. FINALLY!

Ah yup, you were right. I did enjoy it. It felt very natural. I mean, it so could have happened. Almost expected it to happen that way, to be honest; them arguing and then having angry sex, before finally talking and starting to sort their issues out.

Thank you!

Never thought I would read it anywhere...
This is exactly how I imagined they would come together, whether it would be S1 or S6. But it would be like this!
Thank you for writing and the tip that it exists :-)

Fantastic story, I kinda hope that you would continue it, but I also can't wait for your next dramatic long story, once again, great work!

Does this count as make up sex? I think it does. They're not in a relationship, yet, but they had argument and made up, during or after the sex is just semantics. I don't know how these things go.

It's fics like this that makes me grateful we have fanfiction. That frustration of 'oh just get together already!' along with everything else in that one moment of the series is dealt with. Well fanfics can also delve into the degrees of emotions, frustration and anger, too unexplored in the series.

Too bad we never got to see them wear shades again. The only time I distinctly remember is 'Live and Die in LA', while they were in the Ferrari. Heh, now I can't help imagine Rick, Kate, Petra and David wearing shades, Cool Castle Cats or something.

This was hotter than a blazing forest fire mid-summer.

Angry sex born by misunderstandings and hurt feelings is the rawest connection any two human beings can experience.

I was literally able to picture every move / emotion which Beckett and Castle experienced.

My libido THAnKS U!

Finally getting caught up on this week's fics and I'm so glad! This totally brightened up my week (and was so hot too, as always) so thank you. "When the Bough Breaks" really was such a perfect episode for some smut.

So glad you're still writing. (Btw, your Cats universe is my new fic obsession; I keep going back and rereading.)

"Faster than a upper fish attached to a tyre pump." Hilarious! Even better, it's followed by his mother no longer carping. Very imaginative fulfillment of a prompt.

Whew, breathless, and if only this had happened!

I need a cigarette Ahh smoking hot angry sex,,,,isn't love grand lol LOVED IT thank you. Oh found AO3,,,Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Thank you for your gift

NICELY DONE!

I can't write angry sex. You do it so well. :-)

Very amusing - its a pity the show didn't produce a scene like this somewhere during s2 or s3. Thank you.

The smut game is strong with this one. LOL

You gonna do "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night" or "Never Surrender" next?

WOW! That was one heck of a fight but in the end they both won. I really enjoyed this-it was so good and very hot!

I missed your spicy version of Caskett.
