"Her stubborn, stupid body wanted Castle, was apparently fixated on him, and wasn't interested in any substitutes. So maybe she should just go for it, have a one night stand with him, get him out of her system." Starting at the end of 2x23 "Overkill" and going from there.

I have a lot of random little ideas that pop into my head - so this will be a collection of all those little stories. Each chapter will be a stand alone story (unless stated otherwise).

Will contain smut. Hope you enjoy!
