Pairing: Ryan/Jenny
Warnings: Character death (sorta); Spoilers for “3XK”
Summary: Things could have ended differently. Episode tag to “3XK.”
Jenny’s in the kitchen, watching a saucepan of milk slowly warm.
“Can’t sleep?” Kevin asks quietly. He’s awake because his bruised (but unbroken) ribs still hurt.
“I had a nightmare,” she admits. Ryan’s surprised that he’s not having them; the thought of regaining consciousness and finding Castle dead has been haunting him. But that didn’t happen. Castle’s fine. Mostly.
“I dreamed about that man,” Jenny confesses, “He leaves Castle alive for revenge. Like you said. But then, to really annoy Castle, while you’re still unconscious, he kills you.”
Ryan gathers Jenny in his arms. “Honey, I’m fine.” It’s almost true.
