NEW TITLE AND SUMMARY: When Kate Beckett begins college in New York, she anticipates all the adventures coming her way. But then she meets bad boy Rick Rodgers and her life changes. Things take a dive when they fall for each other and attract unwanted attention.

'The glimpse of her face, her smile illuminating his screen, causes his chest to burn, consumed by fire that chars his heart. He loves her, but it's not enough. It's too much. And he can't take anymore.' An alternate end to season 4 that changes everything.

Teen Katherine and Keith Beckett are twins and when her brother goes to the Navy, without their parents knowing, Kate sees the perfect opportunity to go to law school disguised as him and prove to her father her independence. What the girl didn't expect was to find a young writer in the way.

'Just another job, that's all Richard Castle would ever be. Maybe if she repeated it enough, she would actually believe it.' Based on a gifset by veraflynns on tumblr.

Kate Beckett is the new nanny for Richard Castle's young daughter, trying to pay back loans and attending Community College as a way to build up credits for her entrance into the Police Academy. She takes the job as delightful Alexis's nanny thinking that it would just be that; a job. But she finds herself falling for her charge's father and finds his affections returned. AU

This is my entry for the 2013/2014 Winter Ficathon. She awoke with a start. The bed beside her was cold, the room still dark save for the soft glow of the streetlight filtering in through the window as it reflected off of the steadily falling snow. I will be using prompts #1 & #3. A carefully planned pregnancy brings hope and joy into the Castle's lives. Rated M for Caskett fluff.

Castle has a plan for Kate's birthday, but then it eventually morphs into a sub-plan to pull a fast one on Lanie and the guys. Caskett moments in this one. Total AU. *Complete*
