Thanks so much to all of you for your reviews of Fade to Black! I hoped you'd like it, but I didn't expect such a fabulous response. I've read them all more than once, and they make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Apparently reviews inspire me, because I wrote this in almost one sitting (unheard of for me! I usually write on and off and tweak stories for days or weeks) and I just had to get it posted. Hope you enjoy! (I classified it under Kate and Castle, just because it's set during the end of "Always" and the end is very Kate/Castle-y but really it's the whole team.)
