Author's Note: This is a bit of a flashback to the early days of their relationship. There’s a scene in one of the Castle episodes where Esposito makes a comment to Castle about pancakes… this is a reference to that. I changed the quote sightly (and I got the quote from LJ user digitalviolets via nictusa so it might be slightly off anyway.) but the idea was to just give a sweet little moment between the two boys after they got together. A special gift to irishjeeper as she is having a rough few days. You can do it, sweetie, you’re almost there!

Author's Note: This is the first of my holiday stories. I’m hitting lots of fandoms this year. I’ve got about 12-14 stories finished and I’m still working so we’ll see how long I can keep this going. Specially thanks go to my betas who really stepped up this year. This one was betaed by illfindmyway who pinch hit and did a fantastic job on a TON of these stories. She betaed more than half of them and is absolutely fantastic!

Ryan passed by Esposito’s desk, his hand automatically moving out to brush across the other man’s neck before moving up his sentinel’s head and Ryan sank his hand into the dark hair, both men grounding themselves in the touch. After a minute, Ryan ran his hand through Esposito’s hair before moving off. Esposito turned his attention back to his paperwork as Ryan walked away; his senses following his guide as the younger man moved away. When the guide returned a few minutes later, Esposito wasn’t startled when his hand once again landed in his hair.

Author's Note: I rarely do an episode related tag for this series. I actually don’t think I’ve ever done any, but I ended up doing two in the last few weeks. Not at all what I planned, but I liked the quick little bits and I hope you enjoy them. Hopefully I’ll have some more for you once I get the stories I need to get finished done.

Author's Note: So after the Castle episode where Jenny had her baby, I wanted so badly for my boys to have their own. I don’t write mpreg though so I had to think of another way for it to happen. And this is what came about. As always thanks to my lovely, whogeek. Who’s response when I said something was as always “doooo it”.

Fandom: Castle
Series: City Protectors
Written For: whogeek

Disclaimer: No one recognizable belongs to me. Not making any money off this. Sentinel is based off the ‘90s TV show
Author's Note: I used to love the TV series The Sentinel, but I honestly never meant to write a story based in any way on it. Then whogeek started telling me about this idea. And well…y’all know how weak I am when she tells me an idea she has. And that I love to write things for her. And I was having such an issue with what I was attempting to write…so I started playing with the boys. And this is what happened. About halfway through there is a link to an interlude—I decided to try something new this time. You can read this entire story without reading that, but you can also read that and then come back and finish this. It’s up to you. That story is NC-17 though.
