This is just, the best fic ever. I've been catching up n it the last few days, and even though i'm usually a stealthy fic-ninja (i.e. non-commenter - because i'm lame, and like to pretend that i'm not really on lj anymore, and that i don't spend every night in bed with my laptop) i just had to say something. Because this? Is so fucking fantastic.

"They eat beavers." Kapowski added.
Castle choked on nothing.

I mean, come on. It's so perfect. The pacing is so spot on, i can totally imagine this happening. Perhaps with less panties, but then it is Castle, so you never know. And the fact that it's so ridiculously funny, and then it's not all of a sudden, and it's gorgeous and sexy and magical. It all makes my head explode a little.

Anyhow, shutting up now. Just- you're awesome. And this is awesome. And i'm seriously not sure if i'm more excited about the new episodes coming up, or the next chapter of this. ♥

Oh, wow, thank you, that's one of the nicest comments ever.:) I lurk a lot, too, mainly because I'll read fic on my phone and tell myself I'll comment when I get on my laptop, and then of course 80% of the time I don't, because I am slack. And I totally look forward to spending the evening in bed with my laptop, especially if I'm having wine.:)

I'm going to try really hard to get the last two chapters up faster. I don't know if you noticed the posting dates, but I have been writing this forever (or November. Whichever). I want to finish before the show revs up the angst and the crazy going into the finale, mainly because I don't want their relationship on the show to advance past it in the fic. I am a slow writer, so I will have to speed it up. If only the kids weren't insisting on food and clean clothes and being picked up from pre-school.:)

LMAO! This is brilliant!! So, so much love for this fic ;)

[muppet47]

Yay! I'm glad you're still enjoying it.:) About two chapters to go.

This story is so great. And, really, it reads like a real episode, with a B-story and everything.

And with all this build up, I am really hoping the rating on this story gets bumped up higher!

[muppet47]

Thank you so much! That's so cool, I'm glad it's working for you.:) I got the idea from an interview Stana Katic gave last fall where she said she thought it would be funny to have an episode where they were all stuck at the precinct with no cases.

Maybe a little ratings bump.:)

This story never fails to make me laugh. And I also never think, "gee, this was funny, but now it's just tired." Maybe it's the building sexual tension that keeps it fresh. Good, sustained comedy is its own art form, and you've got it down pat. Thanks so much for posting this story.

[muppet47]

Thank you so much - it's so hard to know if it's going to be funny to everyone or funny to just me.:)

omg, you almost killed me with that ending!

"Ferrets aren't rodents."
And i just love you for including this in the story!
