Castle getting excited for danger? Check.
Shootout full of adrenaline and tense moments? Check.
Last minute, sucker punch to the gut, twist? Check.

Castle's reaction and the way you wrote the scene made it very easy to visualize what was happening, as heartbreaking as it may be. Good story. :)

I'm glad it gave you the visual, it's always nice to hear that it works!

I am so picturing season 1/2 Castle here, where murder is a game and police work is entertainment. The end was a blow. Very vivid. Well done. <3 Thanks for sharing.

That's the Castle I had in mind when writing. I do think he'd still be as excited now, but it would be tempered by all that he's seen, and the connections he has with Beckett, Espo and Ryan.

thanks for commenting! <3

Woo yay! You posted it! You know how much I love the lyrical quality this has (well, as lyrical as Castle seems, at any rate).

Can't wait to see if you'll write a hurt/comfort fic next. ;D

Thanks very much!

Ha. My favorite trope, but we'll see.
