I still don’t know if I’m supposed to be annoyed with him or with her during that morning-after scene (I’m annoyed with him, mostly)
I am not totally sure on the intent of the scene either, but I felt like to me, it was really obvious that he was trying to be nice but doing the exact wrong thing, and that she didn't want to be a bitch to him but the whole baking thing is so bruised for her she couldn't stand it -- anyway, I just read it as being nobody's fault exactly and everybody's fault. And I thiiiiiiink that was probably the intent, though I'm not totally sure either.
villainies did this annoying thing where she made me ‘ship Annie and Helen and you guys, think about it, do their characters not work perfectly together?!

Okay I was just going to leave it at that but you wrote such a great post with feelings!!! and all I did was (rightfully) insult you SO. Steve Rogers is perfect, tiny!Steve best of all. THE GRENADE SCENE, MAN. "Is this a test?" ♥___♥ god what is even the point of a Captain America franchise if we're just going to lose Peggy? SHE IS COOL AND COLLECTED AND BADASS.
also re: Bridesmaids if we don't get Annie/Helen fic out of Yuletide, I'm quitting fandom.
And yes, right? Somehow from just looking at him there's nothing about him that appeals to me, and he isn't even my usual 'type', but Captain America changed that completely for me and I'm so charmed by him. I like him a lot.
And then finally: they ground each other. Nothing about either of them overtly fixes each other’s flaws, I don’t think, but they pull each other back enough that they become more aware of these flaws and try harder to step away - they guide them out of it. UGH THIS IS SUCH A GREAT POINT. They both have baggage, but it's never treated as the thing that they want to fix about each other, it's always like YOUR BAGGAGE IS WHY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! I mean, he's sad about her mom's case and the way she can't crawl out of it sometimes, but he wants to get in there with her so she's not alone, rather than being like "get over it". And no matter how many times she rolls her eyes at his comments or puppy dog enthusiasm, those are the things she totally misses the most when she's not with him.
And oh godddd your whole paragraph about Richard Castle as a character. MY FEELINGS EXACTLY. I can't believe that this show, this silly, goofy, crime procedural is the show to DO THIS TO US. It handles these

I'm sorry for butting in here, but I'M WEEPING AT THE PERFECTION OF THIS COMMENT and about your point about Castle bringing out the Beckett that must've existed before her mother's murder without even really trying to do that. GREATEST.
I love what you said about Castle and Beckett knowing each other so well, and knowing both sides of themselves and that's why they can go from first to last name so easily. IT'S PERFECT. I want to draw hearts around that idea forever.
