You have a really excellent grasp of characterization.

Thanks! Beckett and Castle keep rattling around in my head and yammering at me until I write them. Well, Castle yammers; Beckett rattles, what with the utility belt and all.

I absolutely adored this! I love Team Castle and this is just as great! My favorite part was the bit about Castle buying Ryan and Esposito slushies to learn the secret to beating the heat. Fantastic job and I can't wait to see more fics from you!

:-D Thanks! I'm hoping to continue Team Castle soon, but this one-shot just had to be written.

Morgenstern <3 I spent that entire movie squeeing at the cuteness.

Ahhh I love it when Beckett messes with Castle's head <3

Morgenstern = teh adorableness!

This was great! You really have their characterization down. :) And hey, I totally can't blame you for finding an excuse to put Beckett in uniform. ;)

I really couldn't resist. :-) Glad you liked it!

What a great way to get Beckett into her uniform! I love it! You definitely have their voices down pat - I can "hear" these lines of dialogue in my head...

“Put a sock in it, Castle.”

He grinned. “I just love a woman in uniform.”

Stupid question - Morgenstern? The only Morgenstern movie I know of that would have "cuteness" in it is The Princess Bride (S. Morgenstern was the pseudonym for the author of the book the Grandfather read to his sick grandson). Am I missing something? Is there another Morgenstern out there and I'm missing all the fun? =D

Anthro, thanks! I'm pleased to introduce you to Beckett back in her Frank Miller fangirl days, *before* she made detective:

OMG that was awesome! Who needs to see the rest of the movie?? =D Thanks for the intro to Morgenstern! Too bad I have no clue how to make LJ icons....there are some great closeups in those clips that would make wonderful graphics!

[ninja_lurker]

From the reviews I've read, she's probably the best thing about the movie. :-P Unfortunately I have no Photoshop skills (nor Photoshop, for that matter) or I'd make the icon myself!
