This is PERFECT. COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY PERFECT. I could hear them saying all of these lines of dialogue in my head. You have their voices down pat. Perfect banter and gahhhhh SO SWEET. I love stumbling across fics like this--need a break from the angst every once in a while!

Thank you! I never think I need a break from the angst, but then this vomits out of me, so clearly I do, too.

OOO, this was sooo awesome! I just got back from vacation yesterday so am pretty jet lagged but of course had to catch up on my Castle fics. I love the way you captured the characters. As in, their personalities in your story exactly matched the show. My favorite bit was when he proposed and she said 'what no helicopters, hot air balloons etc'! When I can't go to sleep (which is quite often), I think about Castle (cos it relaxes me) and I always ask myself if Beckett would want a big wedding or it will be just the 2 of them at the city hall or some island, in your case Fiji, so thanks for answering that question! Oh, and thanks for this piece in general as I really enjoyed it. Hope they can bring on at least half of this on the show!

Thank you! I don't really know this would actually play out on the show, but it was definitely an interesting experience to write it.

I'm usually not muich of a kidfic perso, but this just seems to...work. Maybe because of how seemingly accidental it all is? At any rate, this was both lovely and adorable; I'm so glad you decided to post it!

[cartographical]

Thanks! I'm glad it worked for you... I felt very odd about having produced this, because I really am not a marriage/kidfic person at all, so it's nice to hear that it works even if it's not your cup of tea!

While I am a fan of how you write Slizzard!Beckett - this is lovely too ;) I especially loved the proposal scene. For real though- that was just so THEM! <3

[cartographical]

Thank you! I'm glad it was them! And someday, someday, I swear there'll be a Slizzard!Beckett sequel.
