Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG
Pairing: Castle/Beckett
Warnings: Character death
Summary: She’ll never feel warm again.
She’s so cold.
Ever since Kate’s father died, she just can’t stop shivering. Just a stroke, nothing like her mother’s murder, and yet, she feels like the little match girl, freezing to death and trying to stay warm with nothing but matches.
She shuts everyone out, makes all the arrangements herself.
The day of the funeral, Castle’s at her side, looking somber. Beckett trembles in the arctic wind. When it’s over, Rick wraps his arms around her and holds her, muttering meaningless words of comfort until she starts sobbing into his chest. He keeps the chill of the wind at bay.
