Ouch - heartbreaking. Because whether it's what theaquamarine and evrealtana said or not, it's certainly nothing good. Again - just heartbreaking.

Thank you so much!

Count me firmly in the group of those who say he is downstairs with Lanie discussing the incident. Yup. *nods*

Well done. Seriously, to elicit this level of denial from this many people? Ha. VERY well done. :)

I hadn't thought of it that way, but I feel even more complimented by everyone now that you pointed it out. Thank you so much!

Hey

Fialka pointed me to one of your drabbles and now I've just read them ALL, well all the Castle related ones. They are so good, packed with so much. They have made me laugh out loud and awww quite loud too. And the reason I've commented on this is the fact that I said 'Shit' loudly in the middle of a youth hostel, garnering strange looks. Unlike most people here I went straight for the slab, I’m always the pessimist!

And as a nod to you I thought that this reply should be 100 words too.

Such awesomeness, thanks.

I'm really honored that you chose to review my (un)collected works in this way. I'm just tickled - it's fun, unique, and quite touching. I honestly have a huge grin on my face right now.

And thanks to fialka to recommending me!

Hey no worries, I'm glad it did all of the above (and I always like being unique). I bet you had to check the word count didn't you? hehe ;)

Hi! I just read this one (I know, where have I been). I really, really liked it. And I like the punch of the end. The finality of Castle's death, and the way Kate said it was awesome.

Thank you! I always love it when people find one of my fics well after it's been written - and then review it!

I thought I had read all of your drabbles, and then I stumbled on this one that I hadn't--and really liked. :)
