Fandom Snowflake Challenge
Day 11
Share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life.
It has to be Castle. Rewind to April 2013 when I'm working my way through my Castle box set. I'm enjoying the show but am especially fond of Ryan and Esposito and after a season or two of binge watching am starting to crave some Ryan and Esposito centric episodes. And, me being me, am wondering if Ryan or Esposito ever get shot or stabbed or something (because I am a hurt/comfort fiend)
Some googling brings up a link which I click on, only to discover a super short but super whump little story about Ryan being shot and Esposito losing it.
And, lo, I discovered fanfic; a full four months before my 30th birthday. I didn't even ship Ryan and Esposito as anything more than friends but my avid link clicking took me to a scorching hot (it'd probably seem incredibly tame to me now) fic where Ryan kind of bosses Esposito about in bed and....damn.
I read dozens and dozens of Resposito fics and then started to look around at what else was out there. I'm a huge Batman fan so I moved into DC, Batman, Teen Titans fic then Star Trek, then Teen Wolf, then Marvel, then....I have never looked back and almost two years later I started to write my own fic.
And I owe it all to Castle.
Ryan and Esposito for the win!

I loved Ryan and Esposito and would have totally watched a spin-off if they'd gone that way.
