Title: Picture Book

WC: ~7200

Summary: "Because it's a great picture. Because he remembers that thank you every time he looks at it. Because he can hear her voice and feel her arm through his and the hills and valleys of her spine under his palm when they danced. Because he has a lot of pictures of her, but only one of them."

I love that Castle suppressed the pictures partially because he knew they'd make her life harder and partially because he wanted to keep them to himself. It's simultaneously sweet and really hard to explain without sounding creepy. (Like a lot of things Castle does, heh.)

I also found it fitting that Castle thought Beckett was just taking pity on him in Poof! You're Dead, while she was treating it like a date, because these two are always coming at things from opposite ends. I do wonder why Beckett saw it as a date. Was it because she'd just gotten confirmation that Gina was out of the picture, and since she knew her thing with Josh wasn't going to last, it was kind of like they were both single?

Oh and I love the switch from "her" to "Kate" in the 2012 section. So intimate.

Ha! Yes, poor Castle. However well intentioned he might be, there's always the concern that he'll look creepy ( ... )

It always sets my heart aflutter when he stumbles over himself trying to explain one of his gestures (because he knows it could come across creepy) but she just looks at him with love radiating out of her and tells him she thinks it's sweet. Gah ( ... )

I didn't know that about Poof! That actually makes a number of things make sense. Castle's pretty casual about Natalie kissing him and he's certainly open about being fascinated by dual Becketts-pretty lousy given that he's still with Gina per the order the episodes actually aired in. Likewise, Beckett's assumption (despite not being happy about it) that he would have slept with Natalie implies she doesn't think much of him. And Castle doesn't even mention Gina as a reason for turning her down. Shame on out-of-order episode airing!

I have my own issues with Nikki Heat. It's such a well-written episode, but I just haaaatttttee Laura Prepon in it. Absolutely awful casting choice, in my opinion.
