Title reflects thoughts as MD fan post S6F. Vehemently disagree with SR that Mer's miscarriage was necessary for her to know she wanted a baby,and cringe at Rhimes/Vernoff S7P plans. Will attempt to turn obliterated hopes to hope/reborn and restored.

When Beckett and Castle finally kiss, they can't deny their attraction anymore. Beckett tries anyway. They have to somehow figure out their personal issues while trying to solve murders as usual. 3rd season AU Caskett fluff. Some Esplanie too. Enjoy!
