Pulling all the wires might have stopped the bomb, but life at the 12th still explodes. An AU story set immediately following Countdown. #CastleFicathon Summer 2016.

Kate Beckett discovers something else in Richard Castle's loft. A one-shot sequel to "No Exit," set in the middle of S3. Complete.

An old rival reappears, and Kate Beckett takes action. Surprising action. Set very early in S5, A/U in that Beckett and Castle are already engaged. A three-shot. Complete.

He's trying to fix himself, but the road to recovery is paved with self-sabotage and other surprises. Maybe he can't do it alone... Post S3, eventual Walt/Vic shipping. *Not season 4 compliant - No spoilers*

They met briefly during the war. Now she is out for justice and revenge. He is trying to resurrect his writing career and get over a divorce. Their paths cross and soon they are plunged into a world of murder, spies and constant danger.

What happens when Castle takes the lead on a stalled investigation. Changed the rating based on PM comments. Some disturbing crimes referenced but nothing on camera.

Young Kate Beckett was the scholar of her class even at her first year at uni. But then came professor Rogers, the first professor to ever test her intellectual capabilities but also, to frustrate her in a way she never thought he would. Rated M for sexual content.

Castle's been absent. Character study set somewhere in the spring of Season 2. I like to create back-stories for these wonderful characters and give them opportunities to flesh out their "off-camera" lives a bit. Marlowe & Miller et al own Castle and my heart. I only own my imagination, creativity, and excitement.

With no reason left to hold onto where life was taking her prior to her parents' deaths, Kate Beckett stumbles into a different world. Can she keep herself and her emotions buried deep or will everything crack open when fate throws Rick Castle her way? An AU Caskett meeting. Ficathon 2014 Entry. COMPLETE

A honey bee holds the key to a cold case that could mean life or death for the Castles. This Affair occurs before the Sisters-in-Time and after the Finally Married Affairs

Another of my AU One Shots Series, It's time for Season Two set around the time 02x21 'Overkill'. I know again this feels like an absolute age ago but it's still fun to revisit the oldies.

This is a companion piece to my story Cherries. You should probably read that first for this story to make sense. This is an addition made to Chapter 8 for those of you who asked for it. Rated M for sexual content.

After a long week and a Beckett flavored case. Esposito needs to unwind. When TV does not keep his attention he trudges over to his computer. He finally finds something to help him unwind, but at what cost? What does he find and how will he ever forget it? This story is Caskett and there is no actual sex between Kate and Esposito. Read to see what happens.

For five months he's been missing, but she refuses to believe it's hopeless . . . Consider this canon until 'Always', and AU from there. Complete.

A different background, a very bad first meeting and revelations about who we really are behind our masks? . Caskett sorry Kater-haters, you lose. Chapter 45 The Redoubt & Treachery

Completely AU. Beckett's parents are alive and well and she is a lawyer. Castle, is still still suave and debonair with playboy tendencies except instead of fun-loving author, he is one of New York's best private defense attorneys. How will this play out? WIP, T.

A/U experiment in 'what if' and a retelling of the freezer incident and subsequent events told in dreams, flashbacks and realtime. Enjoy! Confrontations, commitment phobias and confabulations. Finished.
