Also, I also LOVED Recoil, but wish we had gotten to see just a few Caskett moments. I had thought we would, with all the emotions Kate was dealing with but oh well. It's still the best show ever, I just ship those two so hard it's ridiculous, haha :)

This is so good.
Very well written. I thought you captured their characters perfectly. I always have loved the idea of Castle comforting Kate after an especially rough day such as this one. However, a lot of fic writers get it wrong, making her immediately jump into his arms, sobbing, which is just not Kate Beckett. But you didn't do that. I loved how you wrote the build up, with her struggling with showing her emotions. Castle has broken through many of her walls, but she is still working on being able to be completely open with him, and I thought you showed this perfectly.
I also loved Castle's line where he told her how remarkable she was, but that even remarkable people have to cry sometimes. That was just perfect and I want to see that said on the show. Haha
Also really loved this part:
"Though he tried to work as she read, he couldn't seem to put words on paper; all of the stories he would ever want to know were in his arms and in the form of this remarkable woman, someone he couldn't seem to stop loving."
I LOVE THIS. It can basically just sum up every episode, each season, the whole show. Every since he met her, her stories are all he's cared about. Stories about her, for her, with her. She is his story now. Gosh, I can't even handle how perfect that is.
Anyway, this was just great and I hope you write more :)

This was soooo good!
Very well- written. I think they were very in character.
I have always loved the idea of Castle comforting Kate after an especially rough day. I think a lot of fic writers skip the whole build-up and just have her jump into his arms, sobbing, which is just not Kate Beckett. But you didn't do that. I loved how she clearly struggled with showing her emotions. Castle has broken through a lot of her walls, but she still has problems showing him everything and I think you captured that feeling perfectly.
I also loved how he talked about how remarkable she is and then said that even remarkable people have to cry sometimes. So perfect. Like, that needs to be a line on the actual show. I hope Andrew Marlowe reads this and adds it in cause that would just be a beautiful moment.
I'm just so happy you wrote this cause I also really wished there had been a little ending like this! Like you, I completely love this show and thought Recoil was great, but wish we could've seen just a few Caskett moments. I was kind of expecting some, like with him helping her with the emotional effects of her mom's case, but alas... Oh well, I bet we'll get some soon! Like maybe in the two-parter? Super excited for that! Gosh, this show is great.
Also, I just pulled this out because I really loved it:
"Though he tried to work as she read, he couldn't seem to put words on paper; all of the stories he would ever want to know were in his arms and in the form of this remarkable woman, someone he couldn't seem to stop loving."
This is basically perfection and I think can easily sum up all the episodes, all the seasons, the whole show. All of the stories he wants now are about her, for her, with her. She is his story now.
Gah, crying now because it just hit me once again just how freaking beautiful this show is. I love it sooo much...
Anyhoo, this story is fantasticooo. Write more :)

Oh that was beautiful! Very warm and funny and cute and quite a pleasure to read. AlthoughI must say that those "flashbacks" distracted me a bit from the story so I admit that I barely skimmed them in the end... But thanks for that story.

Super sweet, I loved it- especially the part about the flowers- but it's nice to see Kate let go sometimes. If only this could have happened!

Love this. If only we'd gotten this at the end of the episode! I hated that they were sitting so far apart.

This is amazing! :)

Love this. Makes up for the lack of Caskett in this episode. Better than I imagined it. Hope you wrote more stories.
