Drives...
I know this is old. But I just wanted to write it down to see if I’m right.

i love this show, and i love caskett, i ship them so bad, and IM INLOVE WITH THIS STORY!

WOW I loved this chapter!
Russian Beckett AND Russian Spy Beckett? FLAWLESS
The blue earring bit...argh, I feel I should know this, but it's just out of my reach... D:
Anyways, love this story - keep it up! :D

I have one suggestion, although I wouldn't press the point much.

You're talking about making this as much as you can like one-shots. My suggestion would be exactly the opposite. is filled cram full of one-shots - chocked! Story lines are sadly in short, short supply. Of course it takes some talent to write story and, at the same time, make it smutty, kinky, drippy. But there are a couple of things that can help - raunchyness and closeness, both related to explicitnes. Closeness can actually feed raunchyness

Imagine or look at his or her "stuff" from very close up, thinking visually. And put it in "dirty" words. "When he pulled out of her, her hole was left open in the shape of his cock. He got close enough to put his nose into it a little ways." Both close and raunchy. Of course you can back the raunchy words down to whatever raunch level you prefer. But for certain, describing a cock or pussy from across a room is far less effective than from magnifying glass distance.

It all comes down to how smutty you want the story to be.

There are some other things to consider. Will they fuck or just get each other off. If they fuck, how often and - for sure - where. Having them stand in front of an above ground window to do a vertical fuck can put readers around the bend. Doing it sitting in a window seat or from the rear works too.

Great series. Hope you continue and update soon!
Of course there are many more scenarios they can explore such as:
Kate's Nebula 9 fandom
Waiter-waitress / customer
Carry out food (Chinese or pizza) delivery person / customer
Vacuum cleaner salesperson / homeowner customer
Car mechanic / car owner customer
Cashier / Customer
Gardener-Poolboy / homeowner ( isn't there a pool or garden on the rooftop of Castle's loft?)
Cable tv repair / homeowner ( like the plumber story?)
Furniture delivery guy / homeowner
Interior Designer (bossy Kate)/ Homeowner
Postal Delivery Service (UPS or FEDEX) / Homeowner
Fangirl /Author at book signing.
Schoolgirl selling cookies or magazines / Customer
Cheerleader / Athlete (could even be a role reversal)
IRS Auditor / Taxpayer
And on and on and on...

Super clever take on the student/teacher story.

Battling and hand slapping over who gets to unbutton Kate's dress is soooooo fuuuuunnnny. And Kate slapping his bum with the belt, giving him the A and a wink seals it that they indeed so need to do this again (hint, hint to the author).

You know Alexis would be mortified if she found out about this escapade and how they used her for their fantasy! Hahahahaha!

"There's nothing better than getting deep into a book" he whispered.

"They say the best books move you. Allow me."

"Promise me you won't ever talk about books like that at a book signing."
"If I do, it will be because you're there."

Your song-hint is very clever.

Love your banter with Beckett and Castle in your A/Ns at the beginning of this chapter.

Remember that she agreed he could drive more often, so there's plot ideas for future chapters.

Enjoying your end of chapter hints for the next chapter.
Wishing your singalong to "My writing is canon" preceding this chapter was true...and perhaps this is what happens off screen between murder cases. We can hope.

Quite the roll reversal as DETECTIVE Beckett becomes a cat BURGLAR in their game. And Castle "arriving at the station" twice so quickly is a testament to Beckett's super hotness and his stamina of a man 20 years his junior! Of course Castle wants to be the burglar next time.

"Personal criteria"!
Hahahahahaha!
Where do you come up with these ideas?
Oh, they definitely meet each other's "personal criteria"!

Really glad you have Kate waiting to be married before getting pregnant with little Castle babies. That's the only way I see Kate Beckett from the show.

Great angst therapy as you mention in your closing A/Ns. 47 Seconds and The Limey were low points in need of this therapy. Right now it is summer after season six finale (ugh and ugly) and we REALLY need this therapy!

All of this is really great. Best part is Alexis's reaction when she discovers "evidence" of Caskett's coupling. "I am cleaning this thing with bleach! You are disgusting! Use a bed like normal people!"

I was going to wait to review after the last (most recently added) chapter, but now I had to speak up.

This is hilarious . "...some cleaning that needed to be done. A smile worthy of any femme fatale curved Beckett's lips. Things were about to get a lot dirtier around here.". What a sexy contrast for the readers to ponder (smirk).

And we are off to the races as Rick commands "and from now on it's Rick". And after crossing several professional boundaries, Kate replies "Well, I am in the service industry" and winks. Oh gawwwd this is too hot ( to handle), but she does a masterful (...)job!

As he leads her through the Master Bedroom,
Kate comments "I do see something that could use a woman's touch."
Rick asks "what's that?"
"You" Kate smirked. What great banter!

And great way to end this chapter with Alexis complaining of a lack of hot water for her shower, and not just today, but several times this week. Ulp, sqweek, run for cover.

My only constructive suggestion would be to update this with new chapters (nothing since August 30, 2012?) now that they are openly a couple and you certainly don't seem to lack for creative ideas. Just saying this is a really funny story line that should be updated regularly.

Love the smut...don't stop (no pun intended LOL)
