“Great coffee, like great sex, usually begins with grinding.”

UM FUCK THIS IS HILARIOUS I HAVE NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD SO EARLY IN THE MORNING.

Right. So this is based from the TFLN (317): I’m not sure how many more innuendos I can slip into this fucking conversation before I just blatantly say “I want to fuck you.” and in this story, Castle teaches Beckett how to make coffee. (Because it is quite obvious from canon that she cannot work that espresso machine.) OH DEAR GOD, the puns. I cannot. It’s perfect. (Particularly great if you have coffee making knowledge.) Go on. Read it.

Her hands shake, just a little. 
Sirens blare in the distance.

I don’t know why I stumbled upon this today, but I did and it’s an oldie but a goodie and I’m glad to have found it. (It’s set in season two, for reference.)

It’s beautifully written, the author says a lot with few words, which is always something I adore, and their take on Kate Beckett is lovely, she’s as strong as she always is, with a depth and edge to her. 

And I think the thing I love most is its restraint. It’s truly the definition of ‘show don’t tell’.

Okay, I need new fanfics!

forevercaskett:

while I’m so patiently waiting for the new chapter of OFI to come, I need a few new CASTLE fics to read…

if any of you guys have any good ones, please please tell me them? :)

Hey hey! So I saw you followed me and I followed back because we have a lot in common. Anyway, if you’re looking for recs, I have a list here. It’s really quite out of date. I should update it. Eep. 

And if you like kid fic, these two are good and quite long: Dash Away and Separation Anxiety. And I’m quite partial to this tale here as well.
