When Richard Castle came to consciousness, he immediately knew that something was wrong. The bed underneath him wasn't his own, and it wasn't Kate's either. It was entirely unfamiliar. Without opening his eyes, he stretched a hand across the bed under the sheets. No one was in bed with him, that was a positive sign. He was pretty sure no amount of ( Read more... )

The village was certainly in the spirit this year. There were Jack-O-Lanterns and fake cobweb on businesses and lamp posts. Pictures of spiders, ghosts, witches, and other scary Halloween pictures went up in windows and the colour scheme was definitely more orange and black than anything else ( Read more... )

J.L.'s been MIA for about a week now. He hasn't left the village, but he wondered into the woods and decided to stay for a while. A part of him wanted to reassure himself that he could live on the land and away from all the conveinces that the village bestowed on them. Convenience didn't exist back home. He doesn't want to get soft ( Read more... )

Alexis loved when spring and summer rolled around and it gave her a chance to get back into roller blading.  It was one of her favourite past times besides running.  Of course that was pretty impossible to do when it was raining outside ( Read more... )

Alexis was finishing up one of her rare late shifts at the general store after doing inventory.  Grabbing her jacket, she pulled it on while glancing over at Jayne with a small smile.  "Are you ready to go ( Read more... )

J.L. is in a melancholy mood today as he walks through the village. He hadn't been prepared for the feeling when he woke up this morning, but now it's there and he can't seem to shake it. Christmas is one of the few things they still seemed to celebrate back home and he was used to spending it with people he fought with. People like Kyla and Kyle. ( Read more... )

J.L. has tried many new foods since his arrival, but he knows there are many more he's yet to even learn about. Mexican was one of the ones he was yet to try. When he was still talking to Kyla, she had mentioned the food in a positive light, and so with Alexis' text message, it seemed like a good choice ( Read more... )

"Qing wa kao de liu mang!" The loud cursing came from the front porch area of the General Store where Jayne Cobb was sitting and actually playing a game of Chinese Checkers with Alexis Castle.

Rather than looking shocked or whatnot, the young redhead merely laughed as she sat back.  "That was something about frogs and being a son of a...."  She ( Read more... )

J.L.'s been out running for a good hour and a half now. He's pushing himself harder than he should, but it seems like no matter how much he ran he couldn't get his mind straight over the news and events of the passed little while. His feet are aching and he's sure there are blisters there now, but he's still running. His black military issue tank ( Read more... )

Beckett coming over for dinner was so much more than just Beckett coming over for dinner.

By now, his mother and Alexis both knew that Castle and Beckett had gotten together (or, for them, gotten back together, which was just weird for him to think about), and he was finally ready to have her over for a meal with them. This had the potential to ( Read more... )
