Actions Speak:

Summary: Kate Beckett is an intelligent woman, but with that intelligence comes a tendency for her to overthink things – big time. When Richard Castle forces his way into her life, her brain goes into overdrive. This is a series of one-shots from Beckett's perspective at various points throughout the series. Can be read individually or in conjunction with one another.

A/N: I have a tendency to write lengthy-one shots that essentially take the point of view of a character at a point in time, with them reflecting on the situation at hand. I've got a rather substantial list of such one-shots that I have been planning on writing, focusing primarily on Kate Beckett's point of view at particular times. While all of the one-shots stand alone, and are part of the canon time-line, I decided the best course of action would be to add them all to the one story.

While all are one-shots, I will be arranging them in the order of the show (unless specified otherwise) and they will be the sort of one-shots that you can read all at once, in order, or not in order. It's up to you!

I can't promise to update every day as I have other stories that I am writing, but am hoping to upload something at least once a week, preferably two to three times per week.

If you have suggestions, please feel free to make them because I am always looking for ideas. Feedback is also much appreciated.


CONTENTS:

0. The Morning Race - Set before the show starts, it's Kate's morning routine (although this really could be at any point in the show)

1. A Wild Richard Castle Appears - set in the first episode of the show. It's lengthy and basically follows her through the entire episode.

2. What is love? - Castle's questioning at the park gets Kate thinking about love.
