Another spectacular part. I'm so jealous! If only I could write such actions ...

This whole Russia/Escape/Recovery storyline has just completely absorbed me! Truly phenomenal work of escape, strength, and love :)

great further arc in their gaining freedom from Russia and now the start of their recovery :)

Just as I waited for the plot to turn for action, the Russians came.
*Sh1t*
noooooooo

Loved this! Your talents continue to amaze me!

I love spy Castle and Beckett! I'll miss it while it's gone, but I hope Rick and Kate will use the time to bring "James" into the story for real! Enjoy your hiatus!

Rome is so simbolic. Perfect place for them to get better :) and then they can come back home with Sasha and Castle can get her pregnant! Can't wait for them to have James.

My heart is breaking for Kate. I hope some time in Rome will settle things. Looking forward to the next installment!

Very well done. Still one of my favorite fics. I hope Super Spy and Kate enjoy their break. :)

Is a very good series.

WAY TO MAKE IT ALMOST ENTIRELY IMPOSSIBLE TO DO ONE QUOTE LAURA BUT I SHALL PERSEVERE EVEN IN THE FACE OF HOW FREAKING AWESOME YOU MAKE MY SPIES

EVERY SINGLE TRAVEL EXCHANGE THEY HAVE THOUGH, IN THE AIRPORT, MOVING THROUGH ALL OF THAT, HOW SHE BATTLES HERSELF FOR CONTROL AND HOW HE IS JUST *RIGHT THERE* FOR HER, IT IS ALL SO PERFECT

"How's it going?" Castle said quietly. She glanced over at him and he looked about as miserable as she felt.

"Sorry," she sighed. She should be better-

"Don't be sorry," he growled, something dark on his face. "Don't ever be sorry."

THISSSSS. I LOVE THAT NEXT EXCHANGE ABOUT HOW IT'S IN HIS BEST INTERESTS TO KEEP HER SANE BUT THIS, HOW SHE IS BEATING HERSELF UP AND HE WILL NOT EVEN BEGIN TO LET HER APOLOGIZE

AND OH FUCK YOU, FINE, ONE MORE QUOTE

It wasn't a real memory. It was a spliced together wish, a dream of his deepest need, to have her here in the one place that had always meant rest and recuperation. It was portions of their time layered over one another until the collage of Kate was beckoning and beautiful.

But it could be a real memory; they could make it here, together

YESSSSSSS. HOW HE DREAMS, HOW SHE HAS TAUGHT HIM TO DREAM, AND HOW FAR THEY CAN CARRY EACH OTHER ON THOSE DREAMS, THIS IS JUST SUCH A FANTASTIC WAY TO END, WTF WERE WE CALLING IT, CATCHING THE FUTURE OR FIGHT THE FIRE OR WHATEVER X-FILES HUNGER GAME COMBINATION THIS STARTED OFF AS, JEEEEEEEZ I JUST LOVE IT SO SO MUCH

I just want you to know that though I normally don't care for AU fics, I have thoroughly enjoyed this series. Look forward to its return. Soonish please?

What a perfect place for a hiatus!

Thank you for bringing them safely this far. How lovely to picture them in this lovely place, loving one another, basking in the sun, and reaching out for the help they need to heal.

Fantastic chapter! Kate's fear was palpable in every word. How far Rick has come, he wasn't helpless or over bearing in the face of Kate's PTSD, as he once would have been, he was her anchor, reading her with every shift of emotion; heartwarming.
Looking forward to For Your Eyes Only in a few weeks, you'll have to advertise as my author alerts never work!

Laura, thank you so much for these beautiful stories. I have enjoyed all off these so much. You have built an amazing life for these two, and I am looking forward to more.
