I hadn't checked the castle lj fic community in forever, but I stopped by on whim tonight and I am very glad I did.
This is...raw is the best word I've got.
Good angst is hard to come by in the fandom these days since the show is so happy and light lately, but this is good, carve you to the bone angst. I can not wait to see where you take this.
The details are excellent and you seem to have a firm grasp on the darker aspects of Beckett's personality. I enjoy seeing that explored, because the girl has some very serious demons that we only see occasionally.
Thank you so much! I'm really glad to hear you like what you read of Ticking, and I really appreciate your feedback. I've been wanting to write a darkfic for Castle for a long time, since Beckett's got so much potential for darkness, and her character became infinitely fascinating to me post-Knockout. (Sometimes I worry this fic is getting almost too heavy though, since I gave myself free license on the angst...)
At the moment I'm not sure if I'm going to keep updating on LJ, since it seems like I haven't been getting much/any traffic here (since this is largely a Buffy journal and I'm not sure the Castle LJ community is very strong (or am I wrong?)). But currently it's up to chapter 4 on FF.net. If you're interested in reading more, you can click here to go to the first chapter there.
Awesome, thanks for pointing me towards the ff link. I feel like it's much harder to find new good fic over there because there is simply so much

Honestly, I haven't found anything good on FF in years... then again, I'm just picky. Sad to hear my impressions of the (lack of) Castle LJ community were accurate though.
And, you might possibly be the only person who's read my ramblings. Glad you found some of them interesting enough to read. It's basically my substitution for having an episode discussion, since I haven't found anyone who'd be willing to sit around talking about Beckett (rather than the Caskett) for hours and hours.
It made me think about how it's fascinating that Castle is supposed to be this intuitive person who knows things about Beckett she doesn't even know but somehow he manages to act like a complete jackass in late s4 and parts of s5.Yeah, don't even get me started... I mean, I love him, but there have definitely been times where a combination of arrogance and utter blindness have caused him to become a total douchebag. I still can't get over how his reaction to hearing she remembers her shooting is to be angry at her rather than being mortified at what
