Seriously, people think Castle is wrong in this episode. Sure he shouldn't flaunt jacinda like Beckett did with her toys. But what Castle could have done in these situation because they never talk and when he press her toll she always ran. And about his comments of "fun and uncomplicated" well it was true didn't always seems to get the easy way, why didn't she 2aired for him like he had been doing for year and half why go out with hunt, he rejected Natalie Rhodes after breaking up with Gina. And about his comment she had done that to him before when she had said to him he was not a cop and he should watch from observation room because she was running the show with her boytoy demming. That time she treated him very badly. And what about the time when she had compared to him with josh and made it look like that Castle is useless, because I can't think of anything when she said her boyfriend saved a life by performing a major heart surgery this morning, and what did Castle do?nothing. Where were you hedious fans when she made those comments.

At least in ff, don’t portray Beckett as she were in the show - cold & selfish. After everything she did, telling Castle that she loves him makes all the crap she made him go through okay? Throughout the series, it’s been all about ignoring Beckett’s mistakes, be it the Demming fiasco where once he came back she & the guys treated him so bad even though Beckett was at fault, her return after she was shot where ‘we broke up’ cleansed her of her lies and mistreatment of castle or when he tells her about him hearing about her lie and she turns it around and gets away again. If you come to think of it, Castle gets bullied whenever he makes a mistake or does something wrong while Beckett ALWAYS gets away, why’s that?

i can't believe all you reviewers give her another pass on her piss poor behavior this shit is all make believe just like the tv show yet you all must think this shit is real grow up . even her fictional self i loathsome and disgusting

Wow, I wish so much this was how it had happened! Really beautiful.

My favorite Castle fanfic ever

Love it!

castle is an idiot

good read

Where have I been? Kidnapped by aliens? How could I have missed this?
I can't believe The Limey was 3 years ago. Holy f*ck! I hated that episode, still do but you've dulled the hatred a little with this wonderful story.
"Better late than never" that's what they say, right? The ones that are always late...that's me.
I'm glad I found it :))
On to sample your other offerings...

Beautiful piece

This was beautiful and I cried and godamn you!

a beautiful story

This was beautiful, heartbreaking and beautiful, and I love the use of Royce's letter. It needed to be brought in too. I was always sorry that after all the lovely Caskett-ness of "To Live and Die in L.A." everything about Beckett's mom's case blew up and derailed all the progress that happened in that ep so it's great to see it all being brought up again. And the writing was exquisite, so painful it brought tears to my eyes at times. Thank you.

Very emotional stuff. I like an emotional Kate. I think it's due to not seeing that side on the show much.

I remember how bad I felt for Kate in the end of season 4 :(
