Weekly Confessional » by
MadAboutCastle10
What if Burke suggested Kate work up to her lie with smaller confessions? This will be a series of loosely connected one shots, all taking place in season 4 beginning with "Eye of the Beholder". May not always take place during an episode, but will contain references to them. Will go AU when the story demands it. I have no beta. So all mistakes are mine.
