Just found Andreas this story. Could not stop reading until I was done. I’m anew Castle fan but absolutely love the series and have watched it many times over. Your story with a bit of a different twist was wonderful. Don’t know if you are still looking at reviews of old stories but if you are, thank you for this great story. Will try to find more of them. Hope you are still writing.
Sincerely
JUDD

"No, Rick," Kate paused as she shook her head leaning against the open apartment door, her hand still gripping the doorknob. "You know, with everything I've been through in the past year, you're the one person who's been there for me, no questions asked. You trusted me, you believed in me even when I was so mad at you that I wouldn't talk to you. And now… So, no, Rick, you don't get to tell me to wait."

Seriously if she is saying all these things that he was always there for her no question asked then why the hells when he doubts her not knowing the full picture she instead of talking him down and explaining properly and resolving the situation she ran and wanted him to crawl and beg for her forgiveness. Very mature. Forgiveness for what? He has been burnt once he ought to be a cautious man. But apparently as always it's all about her.

BEST. STORY. EVER. Enjoyed every word! I wish there was a sequel. Very well done.

Well done! Thanks!

This is very good. Poignant.

I really, really loved this story. I wasn’t sure about this AU scenario, but you managed to capture the best bits of Castle and Beckett and wove them seamlessly into this new world. Well done.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this when ever I had some time. I'm so sorry it is now finished and I will have to find another one. I may have been late to the party on this one but I loved it once I found it. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Such a good chapter once again. I am glad going back to the beginning was pretty short lived in favor of make up sex. I will assume his confession of Meredith cheating on him helped her to understand somewhat his mind set. I am really glad he finally came to her class and it had such a positive effect along with Mark's letter to clear her name.

Tough chapter but very good none the less. I really felt bad for Alexis because of the girls who wanted to take advantage of her do really wish Rick had come to Kate and not assumed the worst. At the end there was some hope.

One more time we have a bit of a surprise ending. Of course Alexis and Andrew would spot Kate and Mark saying a final goodby to each other and misinterpret the scene. I am sure Alexis is on her way home to tell her dad as proof of his jumping in too fast for his own good. Really good chapter with everyone getting some what bent out of shape at the gossip news report. Rick also needs to learn how to share/be more open regarding Alexis with the woman he loves.

Very good chapter. It seemed like her class went well. I am glad she agreed to him coming over to her place at nine to spend the night together.

Kate really took his come back to Gina, when she was trying to tear Kate down, that he was serious about her and planned on marrying her. When he explained to Kate that he really did want to marry her someday in the future she apparently agreed and kissed him. I guess Paula was not successful in stopping the reporters.

I don’t expect you to still reading reviews on these stories but I just needed to leave you a note. I tend to be skeptical about 100% FF AUs, but girl! Did you just prove me wrong. I am so in love with your story and characters. Reading this as completely standalone story not even as FF with well known and dearly loved characters. To say I am in love is simply not enough

You are extremely good with a shocking/surprising ending to each or at least most of your chapters. Gina is truly being her bitchy self every chance she gets where Kate is concerned. She is so jealous of her and even tried to kiss Rick to show some level of continued possession of him that he prevented. By the way of course he got her the perfect dress she tried on for him.

So much for their relaxed, just the two of them weekend. Not only does he have to do a signing but a charity event also and to make it worse Gina is on her way. I am sure He will be buying Kate a dress in spite of the protest she is making.
