I WANT TO WRAP YOU IN THE BIGGEST HUG RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
Thank you so much for writing this for me Grace, I absolutely love it. I always knew I'd love your taken on Kate Beckett and I do; I adore it in fact. It can be tough to walk that line between her being stoic and sometimes too obsessive or emotionally involved but you get it perfectly here.
I also looooove your take on Castle being haunted by an unsolved case. It's not over the top or unrealistic like so many fic writers would make it. (I've always had headcanon that his decision to write crime fiction goes deeper than he lets on and this echoes it perfectly.) I especially love the subtlety of "a young girl dies" and that you just leave it there. Nothing more needs to be said but of course if a case were to hit him hard, that would be it.
“Yes and no,” she answers truthfully. “It works because it’s the only choice you have sometimes, but that doesn’t make it better.” I adore this line. This is exactly how I like Beckett to be - strong enough to just keep on going

It was a pleasure to write for you, darling! It was really fun to explore the characters on my own and try to get a handle on them. I actually had a few other ideas that I might play with when I get back into the show. (I still have bits and pieces of what I was working on for you sometime last year, the prompt from "You Said Something", and a few random new threads of headcanon I've developed. So.)
I'm just really glad you liked it! Thank you! I love you too ♥
I'm really glad you enjoyed it, I definitely didn't want there to be pressure or stress involved. I very much look forward to if/when you write more Castle fic! <3
Pffffft. Outside of the trying to make sure it is good enough for you!? (Which, okay, it's more of this is your ~thing, and you put so much into it. I think it's kind of like someone trying to write Lisbon for me. Not that my view of Lisbon is the perfect one, but it's obviously something I spend a lot of time on. Or trying to make sure to get Gillian write for etoilefilante, etc. IF THAT MAKES SENSE? SORT OF?)
I totally get what you mean. It's part of the reason I still haven't finished the Lie to Me fic I started for etoilefilante" in January sigh. It just doesn't quite feel right yet and it's important because Gillian is her girl, just like Lisbon and Beckett are for you and I.
But seriously, you never have to worry about being ~good enough for me. A) Because you're a great writer and B) because even if they're not your character, you always approach them as complex and layered - which let's be honest a good portion of fandom totally fails at doing.

And Meg, that last comment you made? That will apply to your take on Gillian. I trust you.
