Series title: Therapy (15/?)
Story title: The Open Door (follows
Time After Time)
Genre: Romance, Post-cliffhanger therapy, hurt/comfort
Pairing: Castle/Beckett
Warnings: Assume spoilers for everything up to and especially 3x24. Won't make sense unless you've seen that episode. Will violently spoil you for that episode.
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Don't spend so much time looking at the closed door that you miss the open one.
Notes: So, the finale ended, I watched it again, sat there blinking for a few hours, and then started to write. This is open-ended therapy (hence the series title), and I'll keep working on it until I get tired or the new season starts and the whole damn things gets Jossed. I assume at least four hundred other people are going to write similar stories, and I don't care, like I said, this is therapy, I'm just willing to share. I'm posting it about as fast as I'm writing, so there may be some mistakes.
