I'm glad they both got a chance to visit the site of their worst nightmares and get the closure they both needed so they can move on. Really glad Kate agreed to move in with Rick and start their life together! She is finally ready to open herself back up to their old life...Their friends.

As much as I hate to see this story end, you've written the perfect ending - and I wouldn't have expected anything else. It has been such a pleasure to read it - the highs and the lows, the laughs and the tears. But throughout all 32 chapters, it has been realistic and so beautifully written. Thank you! And now we leave Kate and Rick exactly where they should be - happily with each other!

I'm torn between wanting their to be more to read and knowing that their characters in this story have finally been able to start moving forward happily. I truly enjoyed this; you unraveled it all at just the right speed.

Great story. And what an ending! And it all worked out so well because your Kate Beckett - mature, honest, and courageous - steps up to the plate and hits it out of the park - telling Rick Castle how she honestly and truly feels about him. And that was so sweet! It looks like their future together will be very bright.
Well done!
In fact, you should start a new story of their life together, beginning where this story ended.
Many of us would like to know the next chapter in their life together!
Best,

Wonderful epilogue:
The Fun - the mile high club ( wish Kate had agreed - ha ha.);
The Bridge - overcoming the evil forever;
Their Future - embracing life with new home and their friends and family!

Urgl, this was sooooooooooooooooooooooo good. I am left feeling a bit bereft that it's over, even though I'm so glad that this Rick and Kate are in a good place and are healing together. I think the place you've ended this story is just perfect, even though I want so much more of this!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful story! I can't wait to read more of your stories in the future!

This was an incredible journey. Thanks for taking us on it with you.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

I keep loving this more and more and MOAR.

It is lovelyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. I like them getting their own place. Because 3XK, but also, I mean, didn't he share that place with both ex-wives? Nice to have a place to just make their own memories.

In conclusion, j'adore.

I just loved it it had to be so hard for castle to go up on that bridge like it was for her to go to the house again can't wait to see what happens when they all get back together again is she going to freak out or is she going to be ok so can't wait for more what a great job on the story

The issue with sex, Kate Beckett decides as she sits on a plane to Toronto the next morning, is that it's addictive. Sex with Richard Castle - even more so. - Get it girl.

Without thinking she shoots her hand down and cups him through his jeans, watching his eyes widen with a smirk. Not funny anymore, Castle? "I look asleep to you?" she husks. - Naughty naughty girl.

Mile High Club ("It'll be fun, Beckett") and of her steadfastly resisting ("A tiny tiny bathroom isn't sexy, Castle, it's just uncomfortable"). - Fun fact: whenever I'm in airplane bathrooms I try to think about how it'll happen and I'm with Beckett and no it just seems SO uncomfortable. Like I would definitely fall in the toilet.

"Right, about that. I was going to tell you about it," he says quickly, dropping to one knee so they're about even heights. "Once I found the right place. I just - wanted you to have the option, I guess, because honestly, who would want to live in a place where they were once recorded having sex by some kind of dangerous psychopath who later used those recordings to try and - I mean, I know I wouldn't. I don't even know that I want to stay there myself, honestly, after everything, so I figured maybe, you know, a clean start could be nice. Right? Just imagine - having a place of our own to make memories in." The words are coming faster and faster, his eyes pleading with her, and she's utterly speechless. "I mean, obviously, if you want to move in with me. I know we haven't - really settled that yet, so I understand, of course, if you don't-" - Oh man I was writing an Ava chapter about property. Not copying I swear! But I love how rambly and nervous he is here and I'm sure so adorable.

The hesitant light in his eyes, the tremulous smile make her feel like she's answering a completely different question. - CCSJDJSJCJSJAJWJCJSHD

They get to the bridge and start the slow climb up - OH NOOOOOOOO. I'm not sure i can handle this. I don't think I can have a breakdown in the middle of a crowded train station?

He suddenly wonders which kind of personal ghosts she's facing right now, which memories she retains from that night. Was she conscious at all when she fell in the water? Did she try to fight off Tyson when he dragged her into the escape car that had to have been waiting for him? - Dear Julie. I hate you. Love Jess.

He nods stiffly, some tiny fragment of his distress from that night still lodged in his chest, making hard to breathe. Kate stops walking, pulling on his arm to make him still as well, and she wraps her arms around his waist, hugs him hard. He's a little surprised, but he's certainly not going to complain about it; instead he relaxes into her embrace, the close and steady reality of her in his arms. Her lips brush his neck. - So clenchy. This seriously HURTS.

He just - has to learn how to breathe around it, how to build a life around the phantom of that night. - I love this sentence.

They're only tiny creatures, after all, little pieces of a much vaster universe, temporary, ephemeral - Shit girl. That's awesome.

But she gave him this instead, gave him this moment on the bridge, and it's - he doesn't know how to put it into words, what it means to him. - Ugh I love this so much.

"May I?" he says, his eyes meeting hers in the mirror. She smiles and opens the door wide, deliberately turning away from her image as she lets him in.

"Hey," she says, stepping into him and resting a hand over his chest. He's so warm and solid, and hers. "How's it going?" - I love how domestic this is. It reminds me of fancy parties and society and this wonderful life after so much hell.

He smiles that wry, sexy half-smile, casually curling his hands at her hips. "I'm not sure you realize how many of those boxes I've packed already, Beckett. I looked into one and then gave up." - Yeah I'd do the same.

"Yes." Dinner tonight with Lanie and Esposito and Ryan and Jenny; she can do it. It'll be good, so good, seeing them after all this time. She's looking forward to it. "I am." - Hahaha oh right. I forgot about other people. Love this though!

My feelings on this story. Well. You know them. And there will be an email. Need to gather my thoughts. But I love this so much. I'm so so sorry to see it go.

Good story! Good story! *applause*

...I don't know whether to be sad it's over, or happy it ended so well. You even tied up the loose end of Beckett's apartment search, and Castle is healing and Beckett will soon be reunited with the rest of the people in her life.

And the sex is definitely, definitely fixed. ;) Important things.

Excellent end to an excellent story.

Oh so much beautiful closure for both them and us! Thank you again for every word, they were all so amazing!

Finally they are back together and moving in, and moving on. Good to see.

I guess that's the end of it. And what's story it has been ... You made me cry, you made me smile, you caused my heart to melt and finally here I am, grinning like a fool at a fictional story about two fictional characters. Thank you!
