Babe, I still can't even deal with half these sentences.

ld Beckett's a little confused when the Starbucks barista wants to give her a hug of congratulations when she and Castle pick their up coffees together one Sunday morning; Castle merely smiles and posits that, though this is the detective's first time at his neighborhood store, the girl may feel like she and the detective are old friends by now

I think this is still one of my favourites because I just love the idea of him telling all these random people in his life, like coffee girls and the people who deliver his takeout, all about her. It's just so him.

Also this: ilence It's a bittersweet moment when he realizes his fantasy of interrogation room sex will never materialize; not because she won't consider it, but because there's absolutely no way she could be that quiet.

I can't even deal with how hot this is. It just makes me go jkdhbjhjdhbjdhbjdbhj and melt into a puddle on the floor.

Basically, you make me day life. ♥

Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you so much!

I love you. Just...I love you.

No, I do NOT need to write interrogation room sex. I. Do. Not.

[effie214]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad these worked for you.

I really have a new appreciation for the boys post-"Knockdown". Their epicness knows no bounds.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

Gahhhh. Beautiful as always!! I especially loved "Silence" (WOWZA that one got hot) and "Sacred" (because in reaction I made this embarrassing gasping and squealing noise and my roommate walked in.)

;) Great job.

Thank you so much! I'm so glad these worked for you (particularly "sacred", which is a scenario that's been floating around in my head forever; I'm so relieved glad it wasn't stale.)

Thanks for reading and commenting! I appreciate it more than you know.

"they lay together and just forget the world."

Snow Patrol? :3

These are lovely. I like how you don't totally overstate their relationship and have them go into oodles of fluff (it's just... not Castle. Well, might be Castle, but it's not really Beckett XD)

Awesome! I love 1sentence (and it's counterpart, 3sentence)

[effie214]

It is indeed Snow Patrol; that's a line from "Chasing Cars." I am unhealthily obsessed with that song.

I'm so glad these worked for you, and thank you for mentioning the characterization; that's the one thing I strive to be decent at, above everything else. And I completely agree with you about tone; life has a funny way of rewriting "happily ever after," and I just feel like given all they've seen, to have Beckett and Castle ignore that would be disingenuous.

Anyway, thanks so much for reading and commenting!

Wow, I warrant printing? Thank you so much! I'd done one sentence fic before, but never for "Castle", so I'm thrilled the structure worked for you.

Thank you so much for reading and commenting; I sincerely appreciate it.
