Previous Chapter : Denial
By Lattelady
Ch 2 - Anger
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I reached a place where every light is muted, which bellows like the sea beneath a tempest, when it is battered by opposing winds. The hellish hurricane, which never rests, drives on the spirits with its violence; wheeling and pounding, it harasses them. - From The Divine Comedy Of Dante Alighieri – Inferno – Canto V
…The gentle touch of Rachel’s mouth against his hand had unlocked the door of the cage where he’d successfully hidden his temper, but it was her sleeping tear that ripped it off its hinges. It took all his effort to keep from howling as he stalked from her room, never stopping to acknowledge Felix Lee, waiting in the hall.
“Dr. Hood, what happened?” The tall agent had to scramble to keep up with the older man.
“Not now,” Hood hissed over his shoulder. Seconds later he pushed open the door to the stairs, knowing he lacked the patience to wait for an elevator. His footsteps echoed throughout the stairwell, as his downward speed increased. He embraced his anger and let it flow. It was his shield and his protection against all the other feelings that were threatening to boil up inside of him. ( Read more... )

Credits 1: The quotes at the beginning and end of the story and at the beginning of each chapter are taken from The Devine Comedy Of Dente Alighieri – Inferno, translation by Allen Mandelbaum. Some of the quotes are taken out of context, but the words are so beautiful I hope no one is offended.
Disclaimer 2: I own the book, The Devine Comedy, but not the words or the translation.
Credit 2: Each chapter is named for one of the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. I used the book On Grief and Grieving by David Kessler as a reference.

When I had journeyed half of our life’s way, I found myself within a shadowed forest, for I had lost the path that does not stray. Ah, it is hard to speak of what it was, the savage forest, dense and difficult, which even in recall renews my fear: so bitter—death is hardly more severe! But to tell the good discovered there, I’ll also tell the other things I saw. - From The Divine Comedy Of Dante Alighieri – Inferno – Canto I

September Morn – Neil Diamond
“Hi,” Rachel Young grinned at the expression on Jacob Hood’s face. She wasn’t due back to work until Monday, but hadn’t been able to wait. She decided to pay him a surprise visit at his lab.( Read more... )

Disclaimer: Castle and Beckett belong to someone else, as does the music that inspired these moments.
Notes: My fist time writing ‘Castle’. These are my attempts as the ten-song shuffle challenge that has been going around. Write a story in the time a random song plays. I did go back and make sure there were no words left out or too many typos, but other than that, I followed the rules.

The Woman In Me – Shania Twain
Kate Beckett stood very still, unable to breathe or make sense of what was going on. Castle moved into her personal space, his body exuding sexuality. She was confused, her insides still vibrated from the gun battle they’d been caught in moments earlier. Well, she’d had a gun, he’d popped open a champagne bottle. The sound had been right….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mark Sloan’s shoulders slumped as he headed for the main exit of the hospital. He’d had one of the worst days of his life – one of the worst years of his life - he amended. A small part of him wished he could open the wide double doors into the Seattle night and find Callie Torres kissing Erica Hahn. ‘Ahhh, to be the cynical son of a bitch I used to be,’ he thought. But he knew he couldn’t go back. He’d changed, Lexie Grey had changed him, and he didn’t know what the hell to do about it.( Read more... )

Disclaimer: The characters don’t belong to me, if they did, S1 DVD's would be out and S2's renewal announced.

Previous Chapter : Ch 1 - Lost
By Lattelady
Ch 2 - Found
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Felix and a group of agents had caught the bad guys, while Rachel and Hood had staked out the primary drop sight. What had started out as cover - two people feigning a passionate embrace - had become very real and neither wanted to let go.
The case was all over except the paperwork…He let go of the scientist in him and was simply a man kissing the woman he’d come to love and desire more than he thought humanly possible.
They were safe…Agent Young disappeared into the fog and left behind was a woman clinging to the man who meant everything to her. ( Read more... )

Disclaimer: The characters don’t belong to me. I just wanted to play with them for a while.
Timeline: This takes place a year to eighteen months after Medea
Note: This story came to be because I read Obsidian Jade’s story A Woman Scorned and really wanted to write a Hood/Rachel kiss, too.

Ch 1 - Lost
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was a dark, damp night. Fog rolled in off of San Francisco Bay, making surveillance difficult. Rachel Young and Jacob Hood hugged the side of a small café that had been closed for hours. They were well hidden and close enough to their suspects’ drop spot that they would be able to see them before any more damage was done. Felix Lee was waiting with back-up from a local Bureau team and would close in when the signal was given.( Read more... )
