A difficult anniversary and the unexpected appearence of an ex-wife prove to be a catalyst for change. How will Beckett cope? Will she finally give in to her emotions or be driven further away? Set sometime mid to late S4 but goes its own way before 47 seconds.

It wasn't planned, wasn't a date, but when he'd shown up looking striking in his suit and with his arm empty, she'd gravitated to him like she always did, her whole body orienting toward him as if he was her shining beacon in a dark, starless night. Follows episode 4x11, "Till Death Do Us Part." -COMPLETE-

Post Cops and Robbers. Maybe it was his Mother sitting next to him on the cold Bank floor, it could be the knowledge that his daughter was waiting outside the entire time. Somehow he thinks it's more to do with the woman curled up on his couch like she belongs there...

What happens when Castle asks Kate "Have you ever kissed another woman?" Caskett story with Slashy elements. Set during season five. The story is mine, but the characters and settings are not. They belong to Andrew Marlowe and company, with whom I am unaffiliated.

She'd almost run out and bought him something on at least three separate occasions. She's so glad she didn't. **Post ep for 5x14. One shot. Complete.**

For months she's been gone. Months in which Castle's been forced to believe that Kate Beckett was dead. Eight full months in which he's missed her, craved her, mourned her. Now she's standing on his doorstep, two coffees in slightly shaking hands and Castle's world collapses. Direct spoilers for 4x23 Always, but most probably AU from there.

With a new bar open in town and his team AWOL Castle takes on a little undercover mission of his own, never dreaming that 'Ace in the Hole' is where he'll find his Midnight Queen.

Just like the dandelion seeds on the breeze, they had no control over their fates but they had plenty of hopes and wishes to keep them aloft.

Always SPOILERS. Co-authored by Sandiane Carter and chezchuckles. How Kate Beckett and Rick Castle spend their summer.

He's pretty sure he convinced the lady with the smoky voice that he knew exactly what he was doing, knew how to give her a good time. A variation on the 'Vice Beckett' theme. For ER, on request.

"Come on, Birthday Boy. Let's go." Beckett throws Castle a 42nd birthday party. Co-authored with airbefore.

Sparks fly and unexpected fires start when an undercover cop and a researching novelist spy each other from across the room. AU. One-shot. Please don't be put off by the rating; it's tasteful... enough.

SPOILERS for Headhunters. "She's a little girl, she's a tigress, and she's a warrior. She's insecure and she's indomitable. She's everything." -Stana Katic on Kate Beckett, Parade Magazine March 16, 2012

Kate Beckett wants no help from Castle. But she needs an apartment. Badly.
