Scars
“Scars”
A drabble of 100 words
By December21st
Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG
Pairing: Castle/Beckett
Warnings: Spoilers for "Knockout"
Summary: Some scars can't be seen. Response to a castleland challenge to write a fic with three sentences. I couldn't resist the temptation to make it 100 words. I tied for third place in this challenge.
The summer after Castle learns what it's like to be shot, Castle and Beckett spend their nights in bed together memorizing each other's scars. Beckett's is a pale red star perfectly centered in the middle of her chest while Castle's is an angry jagged lightning bolt pointing at the shoulder that will never work properly again. The pouting child in Castle wants to point out that he ended up worse off than she did, but the writer in him knows that his wound was nothing compared to the pain he felt watching the blood and life seeping from Beckett's body.
