Awwww! Loved every word of this; I could totally see this being how it would go between them. ♥

I have to say, though, the moment that made me grin widest wasn't to do with the romance, it was the following bit of awesomeness:

> “‘Well,’ not ‘good,’ huh? I like you.”

Haha, thanks! Wow, you pounced on this chapter right away-hope I fixed most of the typos (I never see them until after I post the chapter.) Also included a correct usage of "whom." I think. That one's hard to remember even for a grammar Nazi like me. :-P

[ninja_lurker]

Thanks! That's what I'm thinking-they could easily stay in this stage for a bit longer.

Aw! This was awesome!
There are too many bits to individually pick out that I absolutely adored, but it was spot-on and pitch-perfect. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Also, I'm totally making a Team: Team Castle icon. :D

[ninja_lurker]

Happy to hear you liked it! (Especially after the pitch issues I've been having lately.) Thanks for reading.

If you make a Team: Team Castle icon, I will hug it and love it forever! :-D

Wonderful!

Also, if you write it, they will come... or read it. You know, whichever.

[ninja_lurker]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I aspire to make people cry, flail, or grin like idiots. :-D

Hoping to write more on this series ... we will see. As for "something else"-I have ideas coming out my ears for this fandom, so no worries there.

Sigh. YES. And especially: Even alone, Kate Beckett doesn’t cry out loud. Ow.

This is so well rounded that this chapter actually stands as a story all by itself. And I agree with the others, it's a lovely place to leave them as an ending to the Team Castle saga as a whole. If nothing else, it will keep people from poking you for updates :) And then you can start all those *other* things (that we'll poke you about). Heh.

[ninja_lurker]

I sighed too when I got that scene-if that makes sense and doesn't sound like an author's ego-because I love Kate's strength so much. This was my favorite chapter to write for that reason.

Am hoping to write a resolution, whether a proper chapter or an epilogue, but I want it to come naturally. If it doesn't, that's fine; the happy ending is implied.

Maybe it's time to tackle that Firefly crossover next...
