This is an idea I had a while ago for a possible season three Christmas episode.  Based on the current state of events on the show and where I could see it heading by the holiday season.  It will be another complete story, written like a full "episode" of the show.

Christmas in New York City with Castle and Beckett solving a twisted murder mystery... and did I mention there's mistletoe??

**STORY IS COMPLETE**

This was originally posted on Fanfiction.net and I wanted to post it here as well.  It was my way of passing the summer by writing my take on a possible way to start Season Three.  This is written as a full "episode", complete with a twisted murder investigation and, of course, the great personal drama that we've all come to love about the show itself.

Castle and Beckett are reuinted and bond over a mysterious masacre.  They struggle to catch the killer while making amends for their mistakes in the spring and repair their wounded hearts.
