Loved it! I live in England and so haven't seen season 4 yet (apart from the odd episode downloaded from iTunes), but I get the gist. Thank you for this! :-)

I'm glad you liked it the fic even without the context of the eps!

I've been thinking about this story a lot since I first read it. The idea that Beckett lets herself drown is so haunting. I find it really sad that it makes sense. I love the way that you have Castle call her on it and that it doesn't feel entirely resolved at the end. Thank you so much for sharing this.

You're welcome! I really hadn't planned it out but I guess in the end it was how my brain made sense of that whole car-diving-into-the-watery-abyss scene.

Thank you! This is exactly what we needed to fill in some pretty glaring blanks. And you've done such an achingly beautiful job with it. From now on, I will choose to believe this is canon.
