Their entire relationship had been a series of unexpected encounters so she shouldn't have been surprised that he turned up on her doorstep. It was, after all, the next logical step. She shouldn't have been, but she was.

Something happens to completely upturn the lives of Castle and Beckett, throwing them into an adventure that tests and pushes them to their extremes. Mystery, action, and love ensue.

A one shot based of of the end of Knockdown. Spoilers if you haven't seen it yet.

My spin on what would happen had "The Final Nail" been just a few minutes longer.

"He's not mine to mark, Lanie." Her place was being the best friend, the partner, the person who helped him through it all. Lover was not in the job description. "To hell with that, Kate."
