This is fuzzy-wuzzy adorable. Just like Esposito and Ryan. :D

"Fuzzy-wuzzy" is, in fact, the best way to describe the awesome-sauce that is Ryan + Esposito.

Oh my GOD, I love this so much! I just. Ryan's voice and Castle's "swains" and Beckett calling them liars with her eyes and Esposito's EVERYTHING. This is all so wonderful and perfect and aiiiiigh! You captured the show's tone perfectly, that mix between hilarity and sweetness and teamwork.

the one that meant there was a Not Suave Thing happening inside that he was determined to make a Suave Thing by sheer willpower.

I laughed so hard at this line because it's so perfectly Esposito and I love that Ryan knows him well enough that know what's going on inside him right now.

And I loved this so much too: It was a question of aesthetics, right?

Because Ryan would so think that and argue it in his head. ♥♥♥♥

In my head!canon, Esposito divides everything into Suave Things and Not Suave Things. And then he behaves accordingly.

And Ryan has an internal monologue that is intense.

Glad you liked it! :)

Oh! I loved this! Yesterday I was telling robanybody that I adore Ryan/Epsosito. This fic made my morning!

This entry is entirely caused by robanybody mentioning them. Well, that, and the fact they sang in the last episode. My heart grew three sizes when they started singing, no joke.
