Josh makes a brief appearance, but this is all about Rick and Kate. Rated M for a reason. Mild angst in later chapters but I believe in happy endings.

This is not a place where St Nicholas would distribute presents, though it might be where his demons let off steam. Danger abounds here: hot, heavy and welcome. This is a club where dreams can come true. Of course, dreams should only be a one-time experience... See CH1&3 A/N for Warnings Before Reading and note M-rating. Castle belongs to ABC/Marlowe.

3XK isn't dead. A victim's death causes a snowball of issues and Castle and Beckett run into some trouble...

Set sometime in the fall after "Probable Cause" I do not own nor would I ever claim the wonderfulness created by Mr. Marlowe and company. Just taking them out for a spin or two. *Please review.

Kate stared at the murder board, her eyes bloodshot and her vision blurry but she couldn't rest. Not with the smiling picture of her own husband staring back at her. AU, Future fic.

Castle agrees to go on a marathon book tour in August so they can have the wedding in September, but disappears from the plane on the flight back. I'm sure this is going to be one of many "missed wedding" fics because you just know that they aren't going to have a normal wedding. Where would be the fun in that? This is a different version of I Dream of You where Hunt was darker.

"Secrets-that's what got her into this position in the first place. First Roy's secret that became Castle's burden, and then Kate's own- the one that had kept her awake so many nights thinking of him- how he might feel against her, how he would smell and taste."

"Hey Castle, what are you-" She stopped as soon as she saw his body lying, unmoving, on the floor. She rushed over to him and fell to the ground, her hands hovering over him, afraid to touch him.

Typical break in the case leads Beckett and the team to an office building to carry out a search, unaware of the dangers within the building and who may be hurt, Just getting started so any comment no matter what it is would most likely be really helpful:)

AU for 6x09 Disciple. What would happen if Matthews had more bite to him? What if Kate had made a huge mistake asking Castle to wait outside the motel? Castle!whump - There isn't enough of it.

Set in the middle of 2x18 'Boom'. Because when Ellie says she wants to read smut, I can't quite seem to say no.
