You've really captured their pain, and their bond here - lovely.

Thank you! I love the relationship between these three, so getting this prompt was wonderful. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This is the fic I never really realised I wanted! I mean, yay Castle and all, but these guys were already a team (or whatever) before he showed up and the way you've showcased that bond here is fantastic.

"My place isn't that far, we can crash there." He slung his arm around Beckett as he spoke, keeping his hand on Ryan's back as they walked. The touch grounded them, held them together, and after a couple blocks he could feel the wall of tension that had built up through this case finally beginning to crack.

Hi flails. Beautiful line about them grounding each other, and the thought of them all crashing at his place makes me ridiculously delighted.

And they were trying, all three of them, not just Beckett. Ryan had matched her drink for drink. Esposito was holding back, somehow he'd been unofficially nominated the designated "get everyone home safely" person. Which, since none of them were driving, meant he just ended up drinking less. Still enough, though.I like that. Also, Ryan starting the toast ( ... )

Thank you! I think one of the things I love the most about the show is just that, they were this great, cohesive team even before Castle showed up. And he's a great addition, but there's just something wonderful about the three detectives and the way they work together.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this! <3!
