Season 3. Haunted by the kiss in Knockdown, Castle is tired of being stuck in the friend zone. Is it possible for him to find a happy ending with Kate? Story goes AU from Knockdown. Josh makes a brief appearance, but this is all about Rick and Kate. Rated M for a reason. Mild angst in later chapters but I believe in happy endings.
