I've never written for Castle before but I love the show and have been told many times I should write it, I want to quickly thank wisegirl71301 for letting me send this to her to proof read and being so nice and encouraging.

Fact and Fiction.
He was Richard Castle, Rick Castle, ruggedly handsome crime writer extraordinaire. The best of the best, okay maybe he wasn't the best of the best, but he was in the top ten, he looked around him at all the other crime writers, some faces he knew well from long poker games over the years others he'd heard of and some completely brand new faces and names he'd never seen before.
Sighing Castle signed another autograph and then another, he was in Washington D.C at a sort of crime writers convention, to promote their novels and for fans to fulfil their dreams of meeting their favourite celebrity's and writers.
Pulling out his phone to look at the time he smiled at his background picture of him and Alexis, she was growing up so fast, he missed her being little, taking her to the park, looking after her being a stay at home dad, now she was all grown up at university, having her own life, painting her own path in life.
Castle was also reminded of how much he missed Kate, he missed working on cases, he would love more than anything just to have her call him and tell him there was dead body with their name on it, looking to his side at a pile of his latest Nicki Heat books, he realised that that was as close as he was going to get.
Just as he was about to turn to the page that held his favourite part, his phone rang making him slam the hard back book shut and then pull his phone out of his pocket to check the caller I.D. It was a beautiful picture of Kate that he'd taken that greeted him.
"Hey" answered, leaning back on the plastic chair he was sitting on.
"Hi" Kate replied as she walked around the break room of the precinct. "How's D.C?" she asked him, twirling a lock of her brown hair around her finger like she always did when she called him.
"It's boring" he told her "I miss you" he told her.
"I miss you too" Kate smiled to herself, she'd missed him being there to come up with some wacky theory about the case, that would make her smile, laugh and a lot of the time made her want to kiss him, "Just think you'll be home this time tomorrow" she reminded him just as she spotted Esposito walking towards her with a brown manila envelope.
She heard Castle on the other end about to talk "I'm sorry Castle, I've just got a lead in the case" she told him.
"Okay, don't have too much fun without me" he told her, whishing he could be there with her "I'll call you later, love you"
"Me too" Kate mumbled before putting the phone down.
Castle took a moment to look around, everything seemed a little quiet so he decided to go for a cup of coffee.
Ten minutes later he stood in front of the coffee machine, watching as the thick brown sludge the people who worked at the events hall called coffee dripped into a small polystyrene cup, he felt someone cup up behind him so once the machine had stopped he grabbed his coffee and stale danish and stood aside to let the person use the machine next as he poured cream and sugar into his coffee from the little sachets.
He looked up just as he was about to take a sip of his coffee to find a writer he recognised "Thom . E . Gemcity, right?" Castle asked the skinny, tall, sandy hair, green eyes.
"Yeah, Rick Castle, I loved your Derek Storm Series" he shook Castle's hand.
"I love your Deep Six series, you have such a way of painting LJ Tibbs and the gang" Castle smiled "I'd like to put a team like that in my next Nicki Heat book"
Gemcity nodded as he pressed the button to get himself some coffee.
"Do you get your inspiration from a team you follow or…." Castle began wanting to follow a team for research and this time he meant it, not to do the type of 'research' he did with Kate and the rest at the 12th.
"I get the inspiration from the team I work with" Thom admitted.
"You're a cop" Castle was so surprised, almost like a child meeting their idle. "That's so cool. What do you work for FBI, homeland security… the CIA?" he asked.
Thom but back a laugh before shaking his head "My real name's Tim McGee I work for NCIS".
Castle nodded "I think I've heard of you guys, Navy cops right?" he asked, Tim nodded.
"But I don't think you'll be allowed to shadow us let alone write about us, you'd have to go through a lot of people" Tim told him.
"Oh I have my ways" Castle chuckled before seeing that his table had a line and so he walked off.
Tim took a deep breath, Gibbs was going to kill him.
