Three Tweet Fics

This is a collection of prompt ficlets known as Three Tweet Fics, prompted by the prompt overlord herself, InkyCoffee (aka Lou). They'll be short - not more than a few hundred words apiece - because they're designed to fit in three 280 character tweets. Unless noted otherwise, they'll stand alone. Enjoy!

In the Know

He felt stupid that he'd ever missed how close Beckett and Castle had gotten. He was happy for them, of course, happier still that the tension had eased, even if they hadn't noticed it in the fallout of the break-in at Montgomery's, the Maddox investigation, and Beckett and Esposito's subsequent suspensions.

In a way, he felt bad for his partner, for the fact that Espo hadn't noticed that something had changed between their friends– something fantastic. But it wasn't his secret to tell, not even close.

So Kevin Ryan kept his mouth shut. And he would keep it shut until the time was right.


Prompt: Ryan knows; Espo? Not so much
