Finale didn't happen. Castle gets the nerve to ask Beckett on a first date, but bodies have a way of showing up at the worst of times. Happy Birthday to Carolina17! WARNING: Violence and angst. SPOILERS for 3XK. COMPLETE

Written on a dare from a friend; it's a sweet fic about love, Caskett, launch parties, dedications and living the rest of your life with someone. Cuteness/Fluff for the hiatus. A prequel to my story Soon to be Mrs. Castle.

At times it's almost like Rick Castle can read Kate Beckett's mind. But this time, he actually can.

Castle deals with some interesting information regarding the state of Beckett's love life. Completed 19 June 2011.

Kate Beckett doesn't do family gatherings. Then again, her aunt Lily's never died before.

Chapter 17 up! Beckett doesn't go to weddings. At least not with a certain five-year-old on a sugar rush. Cute moments ensue, when she has no one to take to an old Academy buddy's wedding. Is it fate? Is it love? Fluffy, funny and romantic. R&R

Kate's married Josh and Castle's left to search for a new muse and a new start. What happens when they meet again two years later in Paris with things to tell each other? Disclaimer: I do not own Castle, however disappointing that is.

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.

Name change from In your Dreams Castle: Kate Beckett and Richard Castle share a little secret outside the real world, In the form of a little bar; Kate on Stage with a Guitar, and Rick watching from afar.

It's Labor Day weekend and Rick and Kate are back in Cape May. But could this be their final date? My typical fluff. Lots of dialogue and little plot! Last for this series. Rated T

AU from the season 3 premiere. Castle will have to handle enemies from the past while Beckett tries to find him and help after he gives the 12th the slip. Meanwhile Castle shows a whole new side of himself!

It's 2012 and Castle and Beckett are attending Detective Ryan's wedding. Love is in the air... will our favorite couple add to the romance?

When the man Beckett believes murdered her mother is found dead, she's the number one suspect. Did she do it or will someone prove her to be innocent? Castle/Beckett, work in progress. Takes place two weeks after Knockdown. Spoilers, all episodes.

After a drunken night Beckett wakes up in Castle's bed and neither of them can remember a thing, but it's obvious that they did more than sleep last night.

Takes place after Countdown. Castle and Beckett finally talk about their undercover kiss, what it truly meant to both of them, and where they want to go from here. Story is now complete with an epilogue!

She wasn't sure which would be more difficult: finding her mother's killer, or staying away from Castle after he professed his love. Picks up right after 3x24. T for now - may go M later.

When Beckett goes undercover to catch a killer, Castle learns some of the secrets that she's been hiding but what sort of a affect will this have on their relationship? T at the moment but it might change to M in later chapters. I don't own Castle.

The second time she wakes, she has a question for him. 3x24 Spoilers

Trust, angst, love, doubt, hope... You know, all the aspects you typically see in a juicy story about Rick Castle and Kate Beckett. Reviews are always appreciated.

This is a follow up to the story, One Date. After two weeks, Castle and Beckett still haven't had a second date. Will one of them finally find a way to make it as magical as the first one?

COMPLETE at Chapter 21. After the events of One and Done? and If At First, Kate Beckett discovers what life is like on the other side.

Kate Beckett comes face to face with the biggest mistake she's ever made.

Only time and effort can fix what's been broken.

He's done shadowing Beckett and has finished the last novel in the Heat series and now is preparing to go on tour - but not to promote his book. Last chapter is up. Hope you enjoy it.

COMPLETE Set in the One and Done? universe. Post 3x19. Castle asks Beckett for some parenting advice; a plot from within threatens Castle's position as Beckett's shadow.

It was a summer's night and the smell of the old rose bush was as heavy as rain. Under the light of the moon and guidance of the stars, two friends finally take that step into something more.

Castle wasn't asking, very loudly. (deleted the two extra chapters, because this was originally a oneshot, and it's staying that way)

Post-Countdown. Kate and Josh have dinner and a long conversation that leads to some interesting realizations.

What you don't know can't hurt you. For Castle and Beckett, it might actually help.

Begins where A Little Roleplay Browncoat Style ended, but without the Firefly references. They are in the Hamptons, on their 2nd day together. Definitely Rated M for sex and mature subject matter. Uncovers why Rick is a crime novelist. Fun and humor, too.

Castle and Beckett spend New Year's Eve together. What changes will the new year bring for our favorite couple?

Previously Titled 'Four Walls': Castle and Becket head north, revisit the past, and build on the future. Set post 'Boom'

He wasn't supposed to be there, neither was she. But now they're both there, together.

After the Season 2 finale, here is my take on the first episode of Season 3. AU for now and written for the DFT crowd. Rick is in the Hamptons, there's murder, and he needs help. NOW COMPLETE with a name addition and author's notes.

Part 10 - Despite the rocky beginning, it's always led to this. To them. Caskett smut.

One-Shot Castle and the boy walk in on Tom and Kate sparring. What happens when Castle is told to either put up or shut up?

Can Castle convince Kate to stay? We're kickin' it up to M, people! If you don't like it, skip chapters 6, 14 and 15.
