8x18 fic prompt: beckett tells castle how he betrayed her in her dream

Staying In the Loop

Gentle fingers trip along her spine, making lazy circles and swirls on a path to the curve of her shoulder. It's an absentminded touch, meant to lull instead of excite, and Kate finds herself drifting, basking in the contact and the silence that's only broken by the quiet rhythm of their breathing.

"I take it you liked the surprise," Castle hums after a few minutes have passed, amused satisfaction dripping from every word.

Beckett snorts, sinking deeper into the sheets and pressing into his hand. Yes, he is proud of himself, and he should be.

"It wasn't what I expected," she admits. "Of course, I wasn't expecting anything…"

"I know you weren't," he murmurs. He drops his head, dotting a kiss to her shoulder. "Except you kind of did."

Lifting a hand, she brushes her fingertips over his jaw. Castle nuzzles into her touch, scraping his stubble over her palm.

"I was a little bit mean to you about it - my dream, I mean."

He smiles and the movement of his lips tickles her hand. "I think I can forgive you. Especially after this evening's activities."

Even as she chuckles, she feels a pang; he hadn't deserved to be hassled beyond a little bit of teasing about his actions in a dream. He hadn't done anything to her in the real world, and his sneakiness to restore her motorcycle had been the opposite of malicious. Why had she assumed his intentions to be harmful, just because she'd picked up on his machinations subconsciously?

"Still, I'm sorry."

Rick kisses her palm. "What'd I do in this dream, anyway?"

Licking her lips, she considers making a joke, brushing off the whole thing and drawing his head down to hers to make him forget.

"Kate?"

"You went to Gates," she admits, ducking her head to kiss his shoulder. "You went to Gates and told her all about the LokSat investigation, and it got me demoted, practically fired."

He stiffens underneath her, making her lift her eyes in alarm.

"Rick?"

Her husband shakes his head emphatically. "I haven't gone to Gates, Kate. I wouldn't. Not-"

"Unless you thought I was going to get myself killed," she finishes for him, resting her forehead against his. "I know. I know that. But in the dream, it was just… it was a regular day, and you decided to tell her everything, and it cost me my job. It was like you did it out of spite. I was so, so angry with you."

"I could tell," he quips, but he touches his lips to her forehead, too. "I only ever want to keep you safe; you know that. I-" he exhales, "well I guess I can't say I would never do that, because I have, but…"

She lifts an eyebrow, squirming beside him so she can prop herself on her elbow. "You've learned your lesson, since you risked brain damage the last time?"

"Yes. But also, if I want you to keep me in the loop, I have to do the same for you."

Kate nods. "Yeah."

Rick brushes his knuckles over her cheek. "I'm sorry for what dream me did."

"I'm sorry I blamed you for what dream you did," she says, leaning over to kiss him.

"I'll make sure that idiot doesn't do it again," he murmurs against her mouth, sinking his fingers into her hair.

Kate shifts, lifting the sheet just enough to throw a leg over his hips and settle her weight on him once again. "Good."

We as a fandom don’t talk enough about this line cause what do you mean they haven’t seen each other in over a decade and in their first interaction she calls him her shining Jedi knight? And then he tells her she’s beautiful?? I’m so not normal about them I love them

art will save you, being unreasonably passionate about something niche will save you, letting past sources of joy show you the way back to yourself will save you, earnestness over composure will save you, the natural world will save you, caring for something bigger than yourself will save you, daring to be seen will save you, kindness not as a whim but a principle will save you, appreciation as a practice will save you, daring to try something new will save you, grounding will save you, love will save you, one good nights sleep will save you

i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.

make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

I just started grad school this fall after a few years away from school and man I did not realize how dire the AI/LLM situation is in universities now. In the past few weeks:

I chatted with a classmate about how it was going to be a tight timeline on a project for a programming class. He responded "Yeah, at least if we run short on time, we can just ask chatGPT to finish it for us"

One of my professors pulled up chatGPT on the screen to show us how it can sometimes do our homework problems for us and showed how she thanks it after asking it questions "in case it takes over some day."

I asked one of my TAs in a math class to explain how a piece of code he had written worked in an assignment. He looked at it for about 15 seconds then went "I don't know, ask chatGPT"

A student in my math group insisted he was right on an answer to a problem. When I asked where he got that info, he sent me a screenshot of Google gemini giving just blatantly wrong info. He still insisted he was right when I pointed this out and refused to click into any of the actual web pages.

A different student in my math class told me he pays $20 per month for the "computational" version of chatGPT, which he uses for all of his classes and PhD research. The computational version is worth it, he says, because it is wrong "less often". He uses chatGPT for all his homework and can't figure out why he's struggling on exams.

There's a lot more, but it's really making me feel crazy. Even if it was right 100% of the time, why are you paying thousands of dollars to go to school and learn if you're just going to plug everything into a computer whenever you're asked to think??
