AU Post 'For Better or Worse' The search for Richard Castle.

Wrongly accused of two murders he didn't commit, Richard Castle escapes police custody in hopes of proving his own innocence. FBI Agent Kate Beckett is on the team assigned to bring him in, but as the bizarre evidence stacks up, she begins to question his guilt-particularly after meeting him face-to-face. AU. 2014 Ficathon Entry

She is adamant about never picking a family, she wants nothing to do with others, but can someone go and change that all? Kate doesn't believe so until she comes across a family, and for her, everything has changed. Now, can she let herself be happy or will she continue to hide herself away? Can he change all that? Can Kate finally be free?

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.

Bad timing and life-altering choices cause Beckett and Castle to swap places: He's the one that is pulling away and she is the one reaching out. Now, if she wants her happy ending, Beckett will have to win Castle's heart...and prove they are worth of love
