This is excellent! I don't remember if I left you feedback on the last chapters, but I've been following this fic and I think it's great. Also, don't apologize for its length; I'd have read four times as much of this. Love it!!!

[ninja_lurker]

Haha, thanks! My natural length is up to 2,000 words; anything beyond that and I started kicking into "OMG I'm writing a novel PANIC PANIC EAT BACON AND/OR CHOCOLATE"

[xdawnfirex]

Don't panic; I'm a professional. ;) Actually I did write a novel for NCIS fandom last year; it topped out at over 150k words in 48 chapters. And bacon is good. So, don't panic. Let it flowwww, as they say. ;)

“Pardon my French, but that’s merde."

. . . that is pure Alexis. And the overall fic is also of the awesome.

[ninja_lurker]

"Of the awesome" = win! I am snatching that phrase for my own usage. :-D Thanks for reading!!

[rocketgirl2]

Yay! I really liked it! And you cleaned up those few bits wonderfully! And I am talking with a lot of exclamation points!

And you know what I’m ready for right now?” She leans forward.
“What?”
“Star Wars.”
I love that! Perfect. :)

When I see something I really like, I get eager to commit. It’s how my exes roped me in. Meredith, Gina, a few others. Got too infatuated too fast; I couldn’t see that things wouldn’t work long-term with any of them. So I stopped being like that.
And that. Also great. I think it is so much more him now.

is a defense mechanism, according to the therapist my mother bribed me into seeing once. Although he also said my relational difficulties were due to maternal-never mind.
Ha! XD

Can't wait for the next chapter. :)

Thanks, Beta Reader of Awesomeness, I'm glad you like the final version. I must've spent two hours revising it and reworking Castle's dialogue ... so glad to get this out!

[rocketgirl2]

I can tell you put a lot of work into it!
Ahahaha, I know exactly what you mean by that! XD

LOVE!
Not going to lie, my favorite part was Ryan and Esposito... it was so spot on to their characterizations. It may have only been a sentence, but it was awesome. Also, Lanie. FTW.

I'm so glad you updated. I would like to be a member of Team 'Team Castle.' :D

[ninja_lurker]

Team Team Castle?! How great is that! Please, someone make a banner! :-D

P.S. The muse has indicated that she may allow me to move on to the secondary characters in the future. I love their voices and am looking forward to getting inside their heads.

[nictusa]

OH, yes, please do move on to secondary characters. There is never enough of that in fandom. Well, most of the time lol.

This story is fabulous! I believe this is my favorite chapter. Dialogue was splendid!
Favorites:

“Pardon my French, but that’s merde."
"I’d have made a move a long time ago if I hadn’t known you’d slam me into a wall.”

Such a great story! Can't wait for the next chapter!

[ninja_lurker]

Thanks for reading! The dialogue gave me trouble this time around; glad you enjoyed it.
