Okay, So this is my first ever fan fic. Please read and review, any help would be great. I decided that I would like to shake Castle up a little and see what would happen if they knew each other before the Alison Tisdale Case after I saw a youtube video by Evangeline. If you would like the link msg me and i will happily send it to you. I have written a few stories before this but never has anyone other than myself have read them so this is a big leap for me. I hope you enjoy, the 3rd chapter is already written and the 2nd chapter is halfway there will try to update asap.
Chapter 1
Kate Beckett. One of NYPD's best homicide detectives finds herself more at home in the bullpen of the 12th precinct with her team; Detectives Javier Esposito and Kevin Ryan. Kate has had some true horrors in her past including the murder of her mother, the wrath of an alcoholic father, who thanks to her is now sober. Beckett isn't a stranger to heartbreak either; as a teen she dated a couple of guys, never anything serious but the betrayal she felt when each relationship ended made her trust harder to gain and a wall build around her heart. As a cop, guys never stuck around too long, either because the stress of loving someone who may not come home alive each night was too much, her long hours broke them apart or because her heart really belonged to someone else and was not fully in the relationship. For her no break-up was worse than the one and only Richard Castle. She was head over heels in love with him, she was certain he was her one and done, her night and shining armour come to slay the dragon that broke her family.
Richard Castle. The master of the macabre with celebrity status as great as his, he always seemed at home in a crowd full of fans screaming his name, bimbettes and celebutantes fawning all over him and a life full of scandalous endeavours plastered all over page 6. This wasn't right, this wasn't the real Rick Castle and only a few selected people knew the other side of him, his daughter Alexis, mother Martha and the only other person he truly loved, Kate Beckett. By the time he met Kate, he had two marriages and divorces under his belt and a six year old daughter by his side. At 15 years old, Alexis doesn't really remember Kate, she only remembers living with another girl that wasn't her Grams and being upset when she left. As a parent, Rick tried to protect his daughter from his love life, never introducing her to women as she was growing up, he still does it now. He introduced Kate to Alexis and was shocked to see how quickly Alexis became attached to her and how quickly such a young women adapted to becoming a mother and sister figure Kate became to his daughter.
The two of them haven't seen each other since the break up but knowing how much she loved the two books he had published at the time, he sent her an advance copy of each new book all autographed with a personal message on the back of the dedication page to keep her collection complete. There were only a couple of books that he received a hand written Thank-you note but not very many. Until an something unexpected surprised them both in March of 2010, 9 years later.
