Why This Must Be Read: This fic is surprisingly deep for a crossover between two such light-hearted shows. There's actually a lot of crossovers with SGA where Elizabeth stars front and center; her fans are awesome writers. This one, in particular, I love. I came in expecting something different, something lighthearted perhaps? But I was moved by the way this story moved. Castle's POV shows that same caring, funny guy that we know, and his interest in an old friend and her sudden change in demeanor is of course a very Castle-thing to do. But the thing I love about this is the subtlety of the narration, the quiet acknowledgment of Elizabeth's change, and how Castle's interest in solving this mystery is part-writer, part-friend. And the Castle/Elizabeth friendship is wonderfully highlighted in a unique way, and one that of course compliments the Castle/Beckett and Sheppard/Weir shippy tones well.

I really recommend this a lot.
