Castle

The Thing About Mornings by fialka
Here's the thing about mornings: when you wake up, you have no idea if it's going to be the last. The last time you look in the mirror as you put on a little makeup, just enough so that you look like you've had more than three hours sleep. The last time you put your badge on your belt, and your gun in the holster in the small of your back. Last time you drink a cup of raw sewage instead of the good coffee from Castle's machine, because you still won't admit that yes, sometimes it's nice to have nice things. Beckett gets shot and Castle has to deal. Lovely.

Love's Not A Competition (But I'm Winning) by amathela
"What do you think you're doing?" she demands, keeping her voice low. / He shrugs. "Your game, Maxie." / "It's not a game." / "Could have fooled me. I'm just playing along." / "There's playing along," she says, "and then there's being obnoxious." Tasty, tasty Max/Alec.

Adorable bit of domestic Max/Alec schmoop.
