We are tasked by the city of New York to protect its people. Sometimes that task comes with a cost. I know what they call me, Detective. ‘Iron Gates’. I hear the whispers. ‘She’s from IA, she must hate cops.’ Well, the truth is, I love cops. My daddy was a cop. My uncles were cops. But the sergeant who assaulted my patrol partner under the cover of authority? Who holds him accountable? We do.

Male Choices LIs that did NOT need to be as buff as PB made them and we as a fandom should collectively twinkify them. Feel free to add to this list.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Aiden: We get to know him as being very focused on his music, originally not making room for many other things in his life. I can maybe see him having some build from carrying instruments? And I can definitely see him making some time for exercise as a side thing and being fairly fit from it (I HC he does running on the side). But I can't buy that he'd be able to get THIS ripped. Even worse is that PB even tried in two scenes to shove down my throat how ripped he is. Like, oh wow the band geek is ripped! Yeah so is literally every other male LI in the whole game, maybe STFU PB???
Ajay: HE LITERALLY SAYS HE HATES EXERCISE IN BOOK 2, WHY CAN I SEE SIX-PACK DEFINITION (I do like they gave him some uniqueness with a more hourglassy shape but were the muscles really necessary, let the poor man be a snippy director femboy twink).
Beckett: I haven't played TE yet but I know that he's generally more focused on studies and his preferred form of exercise is yoga. So why is he built like he lifts weights? Can you even get this sort of build from yoga? IDFK man

@quantumleapt said: well, now you’re special to me.
downton abbey. 
feeling wanted -- more than that, valued -- pulls his skin tight about his bones. he doesn’t know if he wants to cry, or laugh harsh and brittle in his face and tell him how stupid he’s being. both, maybe. he feels his loneliness open wide like a fanged maw upon realizing they’re looking after him, too, now. that pack has gone both ways. 
his cheeks burn, as do the points of his ears, and there’s a fierceness in the way he squeezes, abruptly, sam’s hand in both of his. he knows his hands were never made for gentle things. even his care and his love was something fierce and unyielding, something set about with teeth, but sam didn’t pull away, and he likes how real his fingers feel clasped by his. he realizes how much smaller his hands feel, and just how calloused and rough and ugly they are. 
he finds he doesn’t mind that right now. he catches himself hoping sam doesn’t either. 
“ -- you’re stupid. “ he sniffs, raw and wet and halfway to teary in his nose, and it sounds like a threat of laughter’s caged in the back of his throat, and it sounds an awful lot like you’re special to me, too. “ did you know that? “

Number 2 or 23 from the Gentle Prompts list, please.
Gentle Prompt 23 - "Can you just hold me?"
Season 7, after the elopement.
For the first time in two months he woke up alone.
He opened his eyes to darkness, not her warm, honey-gold eyes. Heard the distance sound of waves crashing against the shore, not her soothing reassurances. Felt cold sheets instead of the warmth of her body beside him.
"Kate?" he called into the darkness as he craned his neck and searched for any sign of his wife.
He pulled himself from bed, followed the soft glow of light emanating from the staircase to the kitchen.
"Beckett?" he called out to her again, but still there was no answer.
Following nothing more than a gut feeling, he slid open the patio door and stepped outside into the cool November air. He spotted her silhouette in the distance, looking out over the moonlit ocean.
He approached her slowly, careful not to startle her. He saw the slight tilt of her head as she looked over her shoulder, but she did nothing to acknowledge his presence. For a brief moment he considered that maybe he had done something wrong. Or worse, that she regretted their spontaneous decision to elope. But as he stepped up behind her and placed his hands on her hips, she leant back against the wall of his chest, melted into the warmth of his embrace and he knew that whatever thoughts were occupying her mind weren't about him. He pressed a kiss to her temple.
"Penny for your thoughts?" he asked after a few moments of silence.
If she didn't want to talk he wouldn't push it but there would always be a part of him that wanted to help her, to right whatever might be wrong, to fix whatever might be broken.
"I thought that I had come to terms with it," she admitted as she stared out at the rippling water. "The fact that my mom would never-"
Her voice broke as emotion rushed to the surface. She inhaled deeply, exhaled slowly.
"Today was so perfect, Castle." She turned to face her husband, framed his face with the delicate touch of her fingertips and locked her lips to his in a sweet but sorrow-filled kiss.
He could taste the salted moisture that had streamed so freely from her eyes it had tainted her lips and stained her cheeks.
She placed her hands on his chest, toyed with the fabric of his sleep shirt. "I don't want you to think that I'm not happy or that today wasn't wonderful-"
"I don't," he assured her. "It's okay to be sad, Kate."
She hung her head low as more tears slipped from behind closed eyelids but Rick smoothed his thumb across her cheek, collecting the tears as quickly as they fell.
"I just miss her," she sighed.
"I know you do."
Kate looked over her shoulder, back out to the water.
"Is there anything I can do?" Rick asked.
"No." She shook her head but offered a small, sincere smile that told him just being there was enough. "Can you just... hold me?"
He smiled. "Of course."
She snaked her arms around his waist, huddled herself into the warmth of his body and pressed her cheek to his chest. He enveloped her in his arms and held her tight.
They stayed exactly as they were until the warm, golden glow of the impending sunrise could be seen over the horizon.

Hell Hath No Fury (6/?)
Thank you to all who made it through the most case-heavy chapter I think I’ve ever written! But as so many of you have been kind enough to point out, it was necessary to get to this point in the story…which I hope you will all enjoy, and maybe see as a bit of a payoff for sticking around past the last chapter!
Thank you for all the reviews and kind words, and especially to those who reviewed as a guest that I wasn’t able to thank personally.
Unfortunately, I still don’t own Castle…
xxxxx
Stepping out of her car in the driveway of a huge house, Beckett only had a second to take in the view before a sharp pain shot through her side. Nearly 3 hours in a car with 2 badly broken and 1 slightly fractured rib had not been the best choice; then again, she realized as far as bad choices go, she’d made a lot worse recently. She leaned forward with her forearms bracing herself against the car and had to take a few moments to breathe and try to stretch out just a little before she could stand completely upright again and shut the door.
As she slowly walked around to the trunk of her car, she had time to finally really take in the full view of his house. Damn, Castle…you rich or something? Of course, she’d known he was well-off…the way he dropped money so freely, had so easily dropped 100 grand at the shot to catch her mother’s killer like it was not much more than a penny to him. But seeing this house that was borderline mansion territory really kind of smacked her in the face with his wealth.
She grabbed her bag with her left hand out of habit and instantly dropped it, wincing in pain and grabbing at her ribs. Right side, Kate…you can only lift with your right side. Granted, she’d been told she wasn’t supposed to lift anything at all, but she wasn’t about to not carry her own bag inside. She’d honestly fought with herself over whether to leave her bag in the car, just in case she decided she didn’t want to stay; she’d decided instead to go ahead and carry it inside. She could leave it at the door and make it clear to him she wasn’t agreeing to stay yet; she just didn’t want to have to go back out to her car to get the bag if her decision was yes.
She waited another moment for the pain to subside a little before grabbing her bag with her right hand this time. It was still painful, but it wasn’t anything she couldn’t manage as she made her way to the door and knocked. When the door opened and she saw Castle standing there, the pain in her side was momentarily forgotten…because he looked better than he had in the hospital; he looked almost, almost like himself again. And she’d missed him. “Hi…” was all she could think of to say in the moment, and she realized that was definitely not her finest hour.
“Hi,” he returned, offering her a small smile before stepping back so that she could come inside. “So you’re staying?” he nodded toward the bag in her hand.
“Uh…you did offer,” she pointed out, though it wasn’t an answer. She set the bag down beside the door as she stepped inside, her eyes widening as she looked around. She felt like she was so far out of her league here, that it wasn’t funny.
“Right, I did…I do…I just thought…” Castle was stumbling over his words.
“That I wouldn’t say yes?” she finished his thought for him as he closed the door.
“Yeah,” he admitted, studying her for a moment. She had a scabbed-over cut on her lower lip and looked like she had a few scrapes on her like she’d been in some kind of fight. That wasn’t like her; she was too good of a cop, too good at defending herself to get scraped up by an average suspect. He was curious, but he wasn’t sure asking her about it was the best way to start the afternoon.
She saw him looking, and knew he was going to wonder. “I’m fine, Castle. Just a few scrapes.” And broken ribs. She downplayed her injuries, seeing no need to elaborate on how hurt she was just yet. “Where’s Martha and Alexis?” she changed the topic.
“They left about an hour ago to go back to the city. Alexis has school for another couple of weeks, so they come out Friday afternoon and go back Sunday morning,” he answered.
So they were alone. Nothing and no one to interrupt them. No case for her to be able to bury herself in and hide behind. If they really wanted to sort through everything unspoken between them and deal with the fall out of…well, everything…it seemed like it was now or never. “So…just us…” she breathed deeply, her eyes searching him.
“Just us,” he nodded, his eyes meeting hers and holding her gaze for a few moments. “I’m sorry I haven’t called you…” he added quietly.
“I understand why you didn’t,” she offered a small smile of understanding. Because she did understand why he’d been upset; this case, her mother’s case…the way she acted when she investigated it, the things it did to her…add to that the fact the shooter had been after her and shot him instead; she hadn’t been lying to him when she told him she couldn’t pick it up for the same reason a recovering alcoholic didn’t pick up a drink. “I didn’t exactly call you either.”
He was quiet for another few moments, just watching her. “I should show you to a guest room,” he realized, finally tearing his eyes away from her.
“Right.” Even though she hadn’t completely, officially agreed to stay. She was careful when she knelt down to pick up her bag, making sure she used her right hand. She was also careful to mask any pain she felt, in no hurry to reveal her medical status to him just yet. She wasn’t going to lie to him about her injuries, but she also wasn’t going to just volunteer the information either.
She figured it would come up when she told him about the shooter anyway, and she would tell him about the shooter.
The way she was moving was not lost on him, but he didn’t comment on it yet. He’d ask her later. He led her upstairs, not moving very quickly at all. He was still supposed to be taking it easy, and stairs weren’t exactly his friend at the moment.
“If you tell me which room it is, I’m sure I can manage to get there on my own. You don’t have to come up the stairs,” she told him, noticing the difficulty he was having. Of course, the stairs weren’t necessarily her best friend with broken ribs at the moment either. They really were quite a pair, weren’t they? In another scenario, this would have been laughable.
He shook his head. “I’m good. The stairs are good for me,” he insisted stubbornly.
She eyed him for another moment. “Ok, but if you fall on your ass, I’m saying ‘I told you so.’ And I’m taking a video.”
“That’s fair,” he agreed. He continued up the stairs slowly, careful to keep his breathing and heart rate slow. Once they finally made it to the top, he took another moment before walking down the hallway and giving her an abbreviated tour and finally stopping in front of one of the bedrooms. “You can have this room. There’s a bathroom inside…and a view of the ocean. You’ve got complete privacy.”
She stepped inside and moved to place her bag on the bed. It was a beautiful room, but the view she saw from the window was the most spectacular thing about it. “Castle…” she breathed.
“It’s extraordinary isn’t it?” he said softly from his spot in the doorway. He hadn’t entered the room, not wanting to intrude on her space. “It’s the perfect room for you.” Because he thought she was extraordinary; In spite of everything they had said to each other, everything they had been through, every way she frustrated him or pissed him off, he still thought she was the most extraordinary person he’d ever met.
Meeting his eyes when she turned back, she blushed slightly at his words coupled with the way he was looking at her. “Laying it on a little thick, aren’t you?” she raised an eyebrow.
“I’m still medicated,” he shrugged with a smile. “I’m going to let you get settled. I’ll be downstairs if you want to talk before dinner.”
She returned his smile with one of her own. “We probably should, don’t you think? We have a lot to talk about.”
He nodded. “I’ll make us some coffee,” he agreed, turning to head downstairs and leaving her to
her own thoughts until she was ready to join him.
xxxxx
She took some time to try to prepare herself for the several discussions they needed to have, figuring they should start with what she’d been doing the last two weeks. After what she figured was enough time for him to have coffee made, she started down the stairs, following the smell to find the kitchen since she hadn’t had a tour of the lower level yet.
“Why don’t we take our coffee outside?” he suggested, handing her a cup made just the way he knew she liked it.
She brought the mug to her lips and inhaled the aroma deeply before taking a sip, savoring it. No one could make coffee taste the way he could; she didn’t know what he did that was so special, but even fancy coffee from coffee shops didn’t taste as good as his. And she had missed it recently. “Sure,” she agreed to his suggestion.
He led her outside to the back porch, gesturing for her to pick her seat before he sat down in a seat opposite her. “I need to talk to you about your mom’s case,” he started.
Taking a deep breath, she released it slowly. “Actually, can you let me go first?” she asked him. Seeing him nod, she took another deep breath. “The shooter's dead.” Seeing his eyes widen slightly, she continued. “I didn’t do it,” she told him. “I wanted to…I almost did. But I didn’t.”
“Then how?” he asked, not following.
“Another sniper took him out.”
“Another sniper? You’ve got another sniper after you?” he asked.
“No…I don’t think so. I think the sniper was just after Maddox. He screwed up by shooting you instead of me. I think the other sniper was cleaning up his mess so that the case could be buried again.”
Castle was quiet for a moment, digesting the information she’d shared with him. “Could be. Maybe not,” he told her. Seeing her questioning look, he took a deep breath. “I got a phone call yesterday from a man claiming to be a friend of Montgomery’s,” he started. “The man told me Montgomery sent him a file before he died…a file that had all the names, all the proof someone would need to bring down the man behind your mother’s murder. The file is supposed to be used to keep you safe,” he continued, watching her, trying to judge her reaction.
“Well it didn’t work since Maddox tried to kill me more than once,” she murmured.
Castle took note of her words to ask her about them later. He needed to finish with his explanation before he lost his nerve. “He told me he didn’t get the file until after the shooting. But now that he has it, he struck a deal. If they come after you, he uses the information in the file to expose the person behind your mother’s murder. But you can’t go digging into your mother’s case anymore. If you do, they will come for you.” He gave her a minute to digest the words. “He said he’s already taken measures to make sure you’re safe,” he added. “So, maybe it was him who took out the shooter…Maddox, did you say his name was?”
She stood and began pacing with her coffee cup as she digested the information Castle had just given her. She supposed it was possible this man who had called Castle had been the one to take care of Maddox and clean up the files; it made just as much sense as her theory that it was Maddox’s employer cleaning up his mess. Either way the case got buried again.
He watched her pace, watched her thinking. “Beckett…” he started.
“Do you believe him? This…man who called you?” she asked, turning to him then. “Do you believe that if I stop digging, I’ll really be safe?”
“The way this man talked…yeah. Yeah I do,” he answered honestly. “Look, I know what the case means to you…but I don’t want to see you killed for this. Your dad doesn’t want to see you throw your life away for this.”
She narrowed her eyes at the mention of her father. “What does my dad have to do with this?”
He sighed, realizing he hadn’t told her about that either. “Your dad came to see me…before Montgomery was killed. He asked me to try to convince you that your life is worth more than your mother’s death. His words, not mine,” he told her quickly, not wanting to be on the receiving end of her wrath for words he hadn’t said.
Great. Her father was conspiring with Castle against her now too. “What else did my dad say?” she finally asked.
Well, she wasn’t yelling at him. Castle took that as a positive sign, at least. “Not much, really. Just that he was worried about you. That you cared about me. That unless I was dumber than I look, he knew I cared about you too. And that I should stop you from throwing your life away. Again, his words, not mine.” He was quiet for a moment before he had to ask. “How mad are you right now?”
She glanced at him before taking a deep breath, wincing slightly at the inhale. “At my dad? A lot, actually. But at you? Not as much,” she admitted softly.
He noticed her wince and couldn’t not ask anymore. “Are you okay? You haven’t seemed
quite…right… since you got here. You said Maddox tried to kill you more than once, and you’re too good at your job to get scuffed up by some random arrest. So the split lip, the scrapes…I’m going to assume are from Maddox?”
She knew it would come out sooner or later. And she’d promised herself she wasn’t going to lie to him about it. “Yes,” she nodded. “And some broken ribs.”
“Broken ribs?” he immediately took a step toward her, only to be stopped by her holding up her hand.
“I’m fine.”
“Broken ribs is not fine,” he shook his head.
She sighed. “They hurt, but I’m fine, Castle. It’s nothing I can’t handle. It just hurts to breathe a little too deeply. The doctor said they’ll heal in about 6 weeks.”
“So you’re off work for 6 weeks…which is why you were able to bring a bag to stay for a few days,” Castle began to put the pieces together.
Beckett looked down at her coffee for a moment. “It’s a little longer than 6 weeks,” she admitted, taking a slow drink of her coffee. Seeing his questioning look, she bit her lip slightly. “I kind of got suspended. I’m not allowed back until September.”
“What?!” he almost laughed. “I’m both outraged and impressed by that.”
She rolled her eyes at his reaction. “Shut up.”
“I’m sorry,” he chuckled. “What happened? How did you get suspended?”
She sighed. “The new captain hates me.” She shot him another look when he laughed at her words. “I’m serious, Castle! She did her whole hostile takeover and decided to use me to make an example out of so that everyone else in the precinct would see what happens when you go rogue.”
He couldn’t help but laugh some more. “You did go rogue…”
“It was my case! You’re my partner! She didn’t want to let me go after the shooter!” She cut him a look because his laughing was not helping. “Castle, if you don’t stop laughing, I swear to God…” she threatened him.
“Okay, okay…I’ll stop,” he held up his hands in surrender. “So September, huh?”
“Yeah, September,” she answered, her eyes daring him to start laughing at her again.
He gave it a few moments before getting serious again. “What are you going to do with your mother’s case?”
She was quiet for a bit, unsure of the answer herself. “I think for now…I don’t rock the boat,” she finally decided, looking out over the beach. “Whoever that second sniper was cleaned up the mess and took all the evidence. I don’t have anything to really run with. And this guy who called you says I’m safe for the time being…” she trailed off with a shrug. She wasn't going to abandon the case, but she was going to put it down for awhile...at least until she could find another lead.
“Is that enough for you?” he asked her seriously.
“It’s enough for now,” she answered, turning to him with a small smile. “I’ll get justice for my mom one day. I’d like you there when I do.”
He met her smile with one of his own, stepping closer to her and taking her hand in his. “I’d like that too.” When she didn’t pull her hand away, he felt a little braver. “So…what are you going to do this summer?” he asked curiously.
Finishing the coffee in her cup, she shrugged. “I don’t know. I’ve never not worked for more than a week. I don’t even know what to do with that much free time,” she admitted.
“You could stay here,” he suggested.
“Yeah, right!” she laughed.
“I’m serious, Kate,” he told her. “I’ve got the space. You need to heal, I’m healing. It’s peaceful. You brought a bag.”
She laughed again, shaking her head. “I brought enough clothes for a week, not the entire summer, Castle.”
He shrugged. “I have a washing machine. And you can go get more clothes. Or go shopping here.”
She shook her head again. He really wanted her to spend the summer with him. In the Hamptons. Her. “Why don’t we just see how this week goes?” she finally suggested. It wasn’t a yes. But it wasn’t a no either.
xxxxx
Thanks again to all who read and review! I truly love knowing your thoughts on my chapters. And I hope this gave you a bit of a payoff for the buildup through the story so far.

Thank you to all who made it through the most case-heavy chapter I think I’ve ever written! But as so many of you have been kind enough to point out, it was necessary to get to this point in the story…which I hope you will all enjoy, and maybe see as a bit of a payoff for sticking around past the last chapter!
Thank you for all the reviews and kind words, and especially to those who reviewed as a guest that I wasn’t able to thank personally.
Unfortunately, I still don’t own Castle…
xxxxx
Stepping out of her car in the driveway of a huge house, Beckett only had a second to take in the view before a sharp pain shot through her side. Nearly 3 hours in a car with 2 badly broken and 1 slightly fractured rib had not been the best choice; then again, she realized as far as bad choices go, she’d made a lot worse recently. She leaned forward with her forearms bracing herself against the car and had to take a few moments to breathe and try to stretch out just a little before she could stand completely upright again and shut the door.
As she slowly walked around to the trunk of her car, she had time to finally really take in the full view of his house. Damn, Castle…you rich or something? Of course, she’d known he was well-off…the way he dropped money so freely, had so easily dropped 100 grand at the shot to catch her mother’s killer like it was not much more than a penny to him. But seeing this house that was borderline mansion territory really kind of smacked her in the face with his wealth.
She grabbed her bag with her left hand out of habit and instantly dropped it, wincing in pain and grabbing at her ribs. Right side, Kate…you can only lift with your right side. Granted, she’d been told she wasn’t supposed to lift anything at all, but she wasn’t about to not carry her own bag inside. She’d honestly fought with herself over whether to leave her bag in the car, just in case she decided she didn’t want to stay; she’d decided instead to go ahead and carry it inside. She could leave it at the door and make it clear to him she wasn’t agreeing to stay yet; she just didn’t want to have to go back out to her car to get the bag if her decision was yes.
She waited another moment for the pain to subside a little before grabbing her bag with her right hand this time. It was still painful, but it wasn’t anything she couldn’t manage as she made her way to the door and knocked. When the door opened and she saw Castle standing there, the pain in her side was momentarily forgotten…because he looked better than he had in the hospital; he looked almost, almost like himself again. And she’d missed him. “Hi…” was all she could think of to say in the moment, and she realized that was definitely not her finest hour.
“Hi,” he returned, offering her a small smile before stepping back so that she could come inside. “So you’re staying?” he nodded toward the bag in her hand.
“Uh…you did offer,” she pointed out, though it wasn’t an answer. She set the bag down beside the door as she stepped inside, her eyes widening as she looked around. She felt like she was so far out of her league here, that it wasn’t funny.
“Right, I did…I do…I just thought…” Castle was stumbling over his words.
“That I wouldn’t say yes?” she finished his thought for him as he closed the door.
“Yeah,” he admitted, studying her for a moment. She had a scabbed-over cut on her lower lip and looked like she had a few scrapes on her like she’d been in some kind of fight. That wasn’t like her; she was too good of a cop, too good at defending herself to get scraped up by an average suspect. He was curious, but he wasn’t sure asking her about it was the best way to start the afternoon.
She saw him looking, and knew he was going to wonder. “I’m fine, Castle. Just a few scrapes.” And broken ribs. She downplayed her injuries, seeing no need to elaborate on how hurt she was just yet. “Where’s Martha and Alexis?” she changed the topic.
“They left about an hour ago to go back to the city. Alexis has school for another couple of weeks, so they come out Friday afternoon and go back Sunday morning,” he answered.
So they were alone. Nothing and no one to interrupt them. No case for her to be able to bury herself in and hide behind. If they really wanted to sort through everything unspoken between them and deal with the fall out of…well, everything…it seemed like it was now or never. “So…just us…” she breathed deeply, her eyes searching him.
“Just us,” he nodded, his eyes meeting hers and holding her gaze for a few moments. “I’m sorry I haven’t called you…” he added quietly.
“I understand why you didn’t,” she offered a small smile of understanding. Because she did understand why he’d been upset; this case, her mother’s case…the way she acted when she investigated it, the things it did to her…add to that the fact the shooter had been after her and shot him instead; she hadn’t been lying to him when she told him she couldn’t pick it up for the same reason a recovering alcoholic didn’t pick up a drink. “I didn’t exactly call you either.”
He was quiet for another few moments, just watching her. “I should show you to a guest room,” he realized, finally tearing his eyes away from her.
“Right.” Even though she hadn’t completely, officially agreed to stay. She was careful when she knelt down to pick up her bag, making sure she used her right hand. She was also careful to mask any pain she felt, in no hurry to reveal her medical status to him just yet. She wasn’t going to lie to him about her injuries, but she also wasn’t going to just volunteer the information either.
She figured it would come up when she told him about the shooter anyway, and she would tell him about the shooter.
The way she was moving was not lost on him, but he didn’t comment on it yet. He’d ask her later. He led her upstairs, not moving very quickly at all. He was still supposed to be taking it easy, and stairs weren’t exactly his friend at the moment.
“If you tell me which room it is, I’m sure I can manage to get there on my own. You don’t have to come up the stairs,” she told him, noticing the difficulty he was having. Of course, the stairs weren’t necessarily her best friend with broken ribs at the moment either. They really were quite a pair, weren’t they? In another scenario, this would have been laughable.
He shook his head. “I’m good. The stairs are good for me,” he insisted stubbornly.
She eyed him for another moment. “Ok, but if you fall on your ass, I’m saying ‘I told you so.’ And I’m taking a video.”
“That’s fair,” he agreed. He continued up the stairs slowly, careful to keep his breathing and heart rate slow. Once they finally made it to the top, he took another moment before walking down the hallway and giving her an abbreviated tour and finally stopping in front of one of the bedrooms. “You can have this room. There’s a bathroom inside…and a view of the ocean. You’ve got complete privacy.”
She stepped inside and moved to place her bag on the bed. It was a beautiful room, but the view she saw from the window was the most spectacular thing about it. “Castle…” she breathed.
“It’s extraordinary isn’t it?” he said softly from his spot in the doorway. He hadn’t entered the room, not wanting to intrude on her space. “It’s the perfect room for you.” Because he thought she was extraordinary; In spite of everything they had said to each other, everything they had been through, every way she frustrated him or pissed him off, he still thought she was the most extraordinary person he’d ever met.
Meeting his eyes when she turned back, she blushed slightly at his words coupled with the way he was looking at her. “Laying it on a little thick, aren’t you?” she raised an eyebrow.
“I’m still medicated,” he shrugged with a smile. “I’m going to let you get settled. I’ll be downstairs if you want to talk before dinner.”
She returned his smile with one of her own. “We probably should, don’t you think? We have a lot to talk about.”
He nodded. “I’ll make us some coffee,” he agreed, turning to head downstairs and leaving her to
her own thoughts until she was ready to join him.
xxxxx
She took some time to try to prepare herself for the several discussions they needed to have, figuring they should start with what she’d been doing the last two weeks. After what she figured was enough time for him to have coffee made, she started down the stairs, following the smell to find the kitchen since she hadn’t had a tour of the lower level yet.
“Why don’t we take our coffee outside?” he suggested, handing her a cup made just the way he knew she liked it.
She brought the mug to her lips and inhaled the aroma deeply before taking a sip, savoring it. No one could make coffee taste the way he could; she didn’t know what he did that was so special, but even fancy coffee from coffee shops didn’t taste as good as his. And she had missed it recently. “Sure,” she agreed to his suggestion.
He led her outside to the back porch, gesturing for her to pick her seat before he sat down in a seat opposite her. “I need to talk to you about your mom’s case,” he started.
Taking a deep breath, she released it slowly. “Actually, can you let me go first?” she asked him. Seeing him nod, she took another deep breath. “The shooter's dead.” Seeing his eyes widen slightly, she continued. “I didn’t do it,” she told him. “I wanted to…I almost did. But I didn’t.”
“Then how?” he asked, not following.
“Another sniper took him out.”
“Another sniper? You’ve got another sniper after you?” he asked.
“No…I don’t think so. I think the sniper was just after Maddox. He screwed up by shooting you instead of me. I think the other sniper was cleaning up his mess so that the case could be buried again.”
Castle was quiet for a moment, digesting the information she’d shared with him. “Could be. Maybe not,” he told her. Seeing her questioning look, he took a deep breath. “I got a phone call yesterday from a man claiming to be a friend of Montgomery’s,” he started. “The man told me Montgomery sent him a file before he died…a file that had all the names, all the proof someone would need to bring down the man behind your mother’s murder. The file is supposed to be used to keep you safe,” he continued, watching her, trying to judge her reaction.
“Well it didn’t work since Maddox tried to kill me more than once,” she murmured.
Castle took note of her words to ask her about them later. He needed to finish with his explanation before he lost his nerve. “He told me he didn’t get the file until after the shooting. But now that he has it, he struck a deal. If they come after you, he uses the information in the file to expose the person behind your mother’s murder. But you can’t go digging into your mother’s case anymore. If you do, they will come for you.” He gave her a minute to digest the words. “He said he’s already taken measures to make sure you’re safe,” he added. “So, maybe it was him who took out the shooter…Maddox, did you say his name was?”
She stood and began pacing with her coffee cup as she digested the information Castle had just given her. She supposed it was possible this man who had called Castle had been the one to take care of Maddox and clean up the files; it made just as much sense as her theory that it was Maddox’s employer cleaning up his mess. Either way the case got buried again.
He watched her pace, watched her thinking. “Beckett…” he started.
“Do you believe him? This…man who called you?” she asked, turning to him then. “Do you believe that if I stop digging, I’ll really be safe?”
“The way this man talked…yeah. Yeah I do,” he answered honestly. “Look, I know what the case means to you…but I don’t want to see you killed for this. Your dad doesn’t want to see you throw your life away for this.”
She narrowed her eyes at the mention of her father. “What does my dad have to do with this?”
He sighed, realizing he hadn’t told her about that either. “Your dad came to see me…before Montgomery was killed. He asked me to try to convince you that your life is worth more than your mother’s death. His words, not mine,” he told her quickly, not wanting to be on the receiving end of her wrath for words he hadn’t said.
Great. Her father was conspiring with Castle against her now too. “What else did my dad say?” she finally asked.
Well, she wasn’t yelling at him. Castle took that as a positive sign, at least. “Not much, really. Just that he was worried about you. That you cared about me. That unless I was dumber than I look, he knew I cared about you too. And that I should stop you from throwing your life away. Again, his words, not mine.” He was quiet for a moment before he had to ask. “How mad are you right now?”
She glanced at him before taking a deep breath, wincing slightly at the inhale. “At my dad? A lot, actually. But at you? Not as much,” she admitted softly.
He noticed her wince and couldn’t not ask anymore. “Are you okay? You haven’t seemed
quite…right… since you got here. You said Maddox tried to kill you more than once, and you’re too good at your job to get scuffed up by some random arrest. So the split lip, the scrapes…I’m going to assume are from Maddox?”
She knew it would come out sooner or later. And she’d promised herself she wasn’t going to lie to him about it. “Yes,” she nodded. “And some broken ribs.”
“Broken ribs?” he immediately took a step toward her, only to be stopped by her holding up her hand.
“I’m fine.”
“Broken ribs is not fine,” he shook his head.
She sighed. “They hurt, but I’m fine, Castle. It’s nothing I can’t handle. It just hurts to breathe a little too deeply. The doctor said they’ll heal in about 6 weeks.”
“So you’re off work for 6 weeks…which is why you were able to bring a bag to stay for a few days,” Castle began to put the pieces together.
Beckett looked down at her coffee for a moment. “It’s a little longer than 6 weeks,” she admitted, taking a slow drink of her coffee. Seeing his questioning look, she bit her lip slightly. “I kind of got suspended. I’m not allowed back until September.”
“What?!” he almost laughed. “I’m both outraged and impressed by that.”
She rolled her eyes at his reaction. “Shut up.”
“I’m sorry,” he chuckled. “What happened? How did you get suspended?”
She sighed. “The new captain hates me.” She shot him another look when he laughed at her words. “I’m serious, Castle! She did her whole hostile takeover and decided to use me to make an example out of so that everyone else in the precinct would see what happens when you go rogue.”
He couldn’t help but laugh some more. “You did go rogue…”
“It was my case! You’re my partner! She didn’t want to let me go after the shooter!” She cut him a look because his laughing was not helping. “Castle, if you don’t stop laughing, I swear to God…” she threatened him.
“Okay, okay…I’ll stop,” he held up his hands in surrender. “So September, huh?”
“Yeah, September,” she answered, her eyes daring him to start laughing at her again.
He gave it a few moments before getting serious again. “What are you going to do with your mother’s case?”
She was quiet for a bit, unsure of the answer herself. “I think for now…I don’t rock the boat,” she finally decided, looking out over the beach. “Whoever that second sniper was cleaned up the mess and took all the evidence. I don’t have anything to really run with. And this guy who called you says I’m safe for the time being…” she trailed off with a shrug. She wasn't going to abandon the case, but she was going to put it down for awhile...at least until she could find another lead.
“Is that enough for you?” he asked her seriously.
“It’s enough for now,” she answered, turning to him with a small smile. “I’ll get justice for my mom one day. I’d like you there when I do.”
He met her smile with one of his own, stepping closer to her and taking her hand in his. “I’d like that too.” When she didn’t pull her hand away, he felt a little braver. “So…what are you going to do this summer?” he asked curiously.
Finishing the coffee in her cup, she shrugged. “I don’t know. I’ve never not worked for more than a week. I don’t even know what to do with that much free time,” she admitted.
“You could stay here,” he suggested.
“Yeah, right!” she laughed.
“I’m serious, Kate,” he told her. “I’ve got the space. You need to heal, I’m healing. It’s peaceful. You brought a bag.”
She laughed again, shaking her head. “I brought enough clothes for a week, not the entire summer, Castle.”
He shrugged. “I have a washing machine. And you can go get more clothes. Or go shopping here.”
She shook her head again. He really wanted her to spend the summer with him. In the Hamptons. Her. “Why don’t we just see how this week goes?” she finally suggested. It wasn’t a yes. But it wasn’t a no either.
xxxxx
Thanks again to all who read and review! I truly love knowing your thoughts on my chapters. And I hope this gave you a bit of a payoff for the buildup through the story so far.

I have no idea what you have planned but could you imagine if Violet, Agatha and Penny are not only in the same year but the same house and dorm.
What holy terrors could they be?
They would all cover for one another too.
They would rule that school.
See this trio wouldn't cause too much of a fuss. Penny Crane might lean more into Hermione Granger territory so far as answering questions in class without raising her hand and talking too much but otherwise these girls are rather tame - it's the cousin pairing two years above them that really rules the roost of Hogwarts; aka Charlotte and William.
For two whole years Professor Danbury has had her work cut out in trying to rein the mischievous pair in, with Charlotte and William seeming to be under the impression it's their mission to be the biggest cause of menace on campus. To a certain extent Danbury had expected this sort meddlesome behaviour from Charlotte, seeing as she fondly recalled the way in which her parents would quickly descend into messing with one another in their unique way of flirting back in their days at Hogwarts. However it was William she had been taken aback by, not having expected the son of Sophie Beckett to be quite as meddlesome as he had proven to be; she would have thought it more likely out of Sophie's friendship group that it would be Colin or Michael's children she would have to look out for and naively assumed Sophie and Phillip's children would take after their sensible parents.
So when the trio of daughters of three quarters of the Awesome Foursome started their first year, Danbury couldn't help but brace herself for the worst. Thankfully Violet was as darling as her mother and little Agatha was far more Penelope than Colin, and while Penny was a lot like her mother before her, Danbury knew how to handle her. However when she realised that she still had so many years of the next generation of Bridgertons to contend with ahead of her, Professor Danbury decided now was as great a time as any to finally retire - though she'll be damned if anyone were to imply that the main catalyst behind her decision was down to the epic stink bomb Charlotte and William let off in the dungeons that made them inaccessible for an entire week.

@quantumleapt​ said: 💪 - the spinny hug like he gives to Katie though,,,, consider,,,,
send 💪 to pick up my muse. 
as he rigidly sits upright on the unmade bed, all alone in this tiny studio apartment, he makes a silent promise to himself that he’s never reading secondhand gas station literature ever again. no matter how bored he gets. some of the heavy-handed allusions -- no, most of them -- make him want to roll his eyes, if not scoff aloud. 
the sound of the door unlocking causes him to abandon the paperback. he doesn’t bother saving his place. reading hurts his head, and he’s sure this headache is from the poorly constructed metaphors he sees on every other fucking page rather than whatever’s wrong with his brain that sometimes makes reading difficult.
he knows it’s sam, but that paranoid part of his brain tries to convince him it isn’t. even he knows he can’t go out every time with him. many times, he’s got to change history on his own. (he’s certainly better suited for it, mutt thinks, kinder and gentler and handsomer and--) 
he’s got al, which is a comfort, but he still worries. al can’t do anything. not that sam can’t handle himself, but mutt always suspects something will happen when he isn’t there to stop it. it’s why he doesn’t even attempt sleep unless he knows sam is safe. safety doesn’t really exist, but it’s damn sure more likely to exist in some form when they’re together. 
“ how did it g-- “ his opening question is stopped short. he’s swept off his feet, enveloped in sam’s arms, and spun. the locking of his arms around his neck is more instinctual urge to hang on than returning the sudden affection. he’d barely had time to think about it and process it before he’s placed on the nearby counter at the spin’s end. 
he blinks, taken aback. adrenaline knocks his heart against his ribs. sam’s lucky he didn’t thump him for all he’s worth. sam’s lucky he doesn’t punch him right in his face, what with this new equalized vantage point and all. 
Tumblr media
“ what do you want? “ because obviously nobody would be that openly affectionate with him without a motive.

So Here We Are Again
for @imaginepirates, by @arachnoidmater
PROMPT: “Undead Beckett? Undead Beckett!” WORD COUNT: 960
I saw this prompt and cackled. I love the idea of this guy completely shedding all social convention upon his death and becoming just the sleeziest slimiest pirate-killing monster. It’s a lot of fun! Couldn’t do it much justice, though.
I am SO SORRY for the wait, omg. I’ve had. A time, and then last week thought my dog was dying, I got a spider bite on my face, my grandma went to the hospital… and now my internet is spotty as hell. Let’s see if it’ll let me upload this!
The air smelled of gunpowder and smoke. The ship creaked, splintered, blasted apart into nothing but wood chips and dust.
Beckett knows none of this.
Under the surface of the sea, he loses consciousness, cushioned by the flag of the only thing to ever truly have his back. His last thoughts are of traitorous pirates, and then nothing.
-
It was hot, unbearably so. His skin burned as he faded back into consciousness. “I’m in Hell,” he thought, “They’ve sent me to Hell.”
Beckett opened his eyes.
He was not in hell.
He was, somehow, on a beach. How had he survived? He struggled to sit up, using his hands to push against the sand. His palms felt raw and tender, the grains of sand digging into the soft skin. The sleeves of his shirt were ragged and torn, like he’d been put through a ringer. Or dragged along the bottom of the ocean.
Sitting up, Beckett looked over the rest of himself.
He looked terrible. His entire body looked how his palms felt: raw and tender and full of gashes. A blackish liquid oozed from the wounds. The few pieces of skin that were still intact were bloated and bruised a green-blue.
Perhaps he hadn’t survived, after all. But, then, how was he sitting on this beach, looking himself over?
From somewhere behind Beckett came rustling. He snapped his head towards the sound, listening carefully. It sounded like footsteps, making their way closer to where he sat. Beckett rose, unsure if it was to greet or confront them.
"It was over here," a voice shouted. "I saw it wash up! It'll fetch a pretty penny with the company, handing over this corpse."
Ah. A confrontation, then. Beckett turned to meet them as they came out of the brush. “Hello, gentlemen,” he spoke with a voice that wasn’t quite his. It came out much more gravely than he was used to, tone more akin to rocks scraping together than his usual velvet. “Is there something you need?”
The three men now on the beach froze. One brave man raised his pistol, while the other two turned tail and ran back into the treeline.
“Oh, I’m afraid that isn’t going to do much,” Beckett said with what he thought was a rueful smile. It was not. The pistol fired, hitting Beckett square in the chest. He fell back a few steps from the force of the shot, but felt nothing. Black sludge coagulated around the bullet hole. Beckett touched the hole with a hum. “What a waste of a bullet. Well, now that that’s out of the way, I’m going to need your clothes.”
Beckett reached for the man, who dropped his gun and backed away. He only made it a few steps before tripping over a sword one of his companions dropped. Beckett caught his arm before he fell completely down.
“That won’t do at all. I need your clothes, remember? Mine are in no state to be seen in,” he gestured to his tattered uniform. He tightened his grip on the man’s arm, and pulled. The shoulder popped from the socket as the man screamed in pain. Beckett pulled a little more to be sure, and only let go once he felt the skin tearing. “That’s better. Do I need to undress you?”
The man shook his head and shucked off his shirt, shoes, and pants. He made quite a show of being in pain, crying and screaming at random intervals.
Beckett took the clothes and picked up the sword the other members had dropped. No use having loose ends, he thought, and stabbed the sniveling man in front of him. He turned away to change clothes. Interesting how he had no qualms over getting his hands dirty now that he was dead, but couldn’t let a dying man see him naked. How strange it was, what insecurities life left behind.
The new clothes were much, much rougher than his own had been. The fit was loose, and a bit too long in the legs and sleeves. Not wanting to be recognized again, Beckett pulled off the mangy wig that had somehow stayed on through his death and apparent resurrection. A chunk of his scalp came with it, hair still attached. He dropped it in disgust.
Looking around, he found a length of fabric had washed up with him. It might have been the flag he had been wrapped in, but it was too torn and faded to be sure. Perfect. He tied it around his neck like a cloak, using a corner as a hood. If those three men had instantly known who he was, surely others would.
But where was he, and why had those men wanted his corpse? Who were they selling it to? Surely not the navy. The navy would never offer a bounty for a lord's body.
There was one group of miscreants who would be thrilled to have the decaying body of a man who committed his life to upholding the law. A group that would do anything to rid the world of men like him, a group that, very recently, did.
Pirates.
Suddenly, Lord Cutler Beckett knew exactly why he had been brought back. It was his duty now, more than ever, to rid the world of this scum. No longer bound by the weaknesses of man, he could cut down every one uninhibited. It wasn’t like he could die again!
Now with a purpose and renewed vigor, Beckett made his way into the brush to follow the two men who took off. He would start with them, find out who they were selling him to, and work his way to the top, destroying every degenerate along the way.
No pirate was safe.

I think the thing that makes 3XK stand out so much aside from the way he just keeps showing up like a bad penny is the way he truly seems to unnerve Beckett and Castle.
