Just another page in the story of Castle & Beckett. Post-Countdown

Kate and Josh have a long overdue conversation.

Set toward the end of season three. Richard Castle sees a window of opportunity where Kate Beckett's concerned and decides to finally take it.

Castle corrupts Beckett - or at least makes her give into her deepest desire.

Castle gets home after going to the movies with Beckett...and someone's waiting up for him.

"I'm so sorry. For everything. The things I said to you were awful, and if I could take them all back I would. I am sorry for hurting you because you don't do that to the people you… care about." Implied Caskett. Rated T for some strong language.

Post-Countdown. How does Beckett deal with the aftermath of the events in Countdown?

Castle and Beckett are terrified of what could be. They have to overcome all their insecurities to be together.

Lanie explains to Kate that everyone leaves, but what matters most is how and when you say good-bye to those you love.

...and if he was honest to himself the company of her would always trump his desire to avoid naked men in skimpy underwear.

When Alexis doesn't want to go to her father's Halloween party, he overreacts. Beckett gets roped in and a barter deal is made. The usual bantering interaction is a given.

From the moment she drifts from consciousness all he can think of is the million and one things they never got to do. Spoilers for Countdown - 3x17. Castle & Beckett.

Lanie and Kate having a drink and talking about men, Josh and Castle in particular. Just a one shot, and mostly dialogue.

With a sneak peak like that, fanfiction is not necessary, but here is one anyway. Just my thoughts about what may or may not happen during and after the freezer scene. This may be one of those rare cases that TV reality is better than fan fiction.

It's said you can't lose something you've never had, so why does Castle feel like Kate is slipping away.

After not being able to see his favorite detective for a week, because of a trying case, Demming decides to pay Kate a visit at her home. He gets Lanie to tell him her address but she neglects to mention one small detail about where Kate is staying.
