By December21st

Fandom: Castle

Rating: PG

Pairing: None

Warnings: None

Summary: Inspired by inaccurate news reports from the 2010 San Diego Comic-Con. Response to LiveJournal's castle100 challenge Comic-Con.


As anticipation for the "Naked Heat" movie reaches fever pitch, Castle's publicist ships him off to the San Diego Comic-Con. He's practically giddy.

The fans are the best part. He's particularly impressed by a horde of Viking warriors, complete with aluminum swords. Castle meets four different Nikki Heats; none of them can hold a candle to Beckett.

A fight between two fans mars the convention, ending with a Viking stabbed with a pen and rushed off to the hospital while local police arrest his assailant. It's proof of what Castle knew all along. The pen is mightier than the sword.
