Starts near the end of Season 2. Excerpt: "The irony of the situation didn't escape her ... She'd avoided even a hint of a romantic liaison with Castle, because she didn't want to be a conquest. She didn't want to be used. She needed respect ... It would be funny if it wasn't so damned tragic."

He hated it, Beckett making goo-goo eyes at Demming. He hated the fact that they even were a 'thing' at all. He knew he had to show Beckett that they could be something special and that she was with the wrong man. He needed to do it soon.

What would have happened if Castle was shot at the end of Knockout?

Summary: An alternate storyline path beginning in at that moment where Kate confesses more than she meant to in the Interrogation room, and the aftermath that it rains down on Rick. Not much in the lines of case work on this story, it is more about what happens when a person thinks everything they feel for another is invalidated.

A sequel to 'Coming Home'. "She thinks she understands – the life she led here for three solitary months is still a mystery to him. So she gives him latitude to catch-up, to ease into the small space she made for herself: the sharply delineated edges that her DC life was defined and constrained by. She resolves to show him that he missed nothing, while all she missed was him."

What if the kiss with Erik Vaughn had gone to far and she couldn't stop it? Expect the unexpected.

Post "Always", Kate and Rick take a little time for themselves. Smutty smutty goodness and lots of relationship exploration along the way. Rated M for a good reason!

Post-47 Seconds. 'Kate stands several feet away from Castle's spot at the far end of the bar, hands jammed into her pants pockets, fists curled up tight with her short nails digging half-moons into her palms while the writer studiously tries to ignore her. "You're angry." "You think?" His voice is harsh, dripping sarcasm.

An ultimately AU oneshot post '47 seconds' in which 'Headhunters' never happened. Because without Ethan Slaughter, perhaps they never would've found one another again. COMPLETE.

So what would happen if Castle had been injured before Caskett became a couple? Castle is in a coma and Kate is with her partner.

This is my take on the beginning of season 6. This takes place right after Watershed ends.

Set in Season 4. Castle and Beckett are at a stand still and things are becoming strained. How will Kate react when the one that got away waltzes back into Rick's life?

**Spoiler Season 5 Finale - 5.24 Watershed** Castle had left her place, upset. He had ignored her calls... up until he finally accepted to join her at the swings, their swings, to put things on the table. Once and for all. [A/N : It began as a one-shot but I decided to turn this into a story of several chapters.]

"You turned me down. I had to move on, Kate." Castle said softly, as if his words were going to break her. And by the feeling of it, she might; because it was over. {Castle moves on and is a serious-as-a-heart-attack relationship with a woman that isn't Beckett. Kate, on the other hand, is still very madly in love} Spoilers at play. [ENTRY FOR CASTLE FICATHON 2013]

Beckett made a huge mistake, but will she have to spend the rest of her life paying for it. Au. Post Watershed.

S6 opening fic. Mild spoilers. "Javi, I can't come back. I have my work here and…" she sighs, lowering her voice. "We agreed on a break. I just—It's too soon," she tells him, embarrassed to admit what a screw-up she's made of everything; the fairytale romance so many people were gambling their happy ending on turned to ordinary shit by her hand.'

Kate and Rick are about to celebrate their engagement, but a certain Dr. Motorcycle-Boy may have something to say about it. Don't worry. Nothing too crazy going on here! In my world, they will always get their, well, always ;-)

AU: Set 2 weeks after Countdown. A favor and guilt causes Castle to work with a new female detective making Beckett finally come to a decision about her feeling for him. Will she decide he is worth the risk or stay with Josh? Disclaimer: I don not own Castle or any of its characters.

Post-Ep Countdown Season 3 and AU from there...What if Castle did not wait like a monk for Beckett?..Heartbroken, Castle decides to let Kate fully pursue a relationship with Josh, while he steps aside and resumes his playboy ways, trying to forget her. Can he still work side by side with her and how will their story turn out? Disclaimer: Do not own Castle or its properties!

Watershed. Bridge fic between seasons 5 and 6. "It's who you are. You don't let people in. I've had to scratch and claw for every inch."

This is my take on "watershed". It takes place right after Castle finds that boarding pass to Washington. What if he just can t take it anymore? what if Kate really screwed up this time? Bad summary but give it a try please.

"It's never been fiction, Castle, not really. Even if I denied it for all those years - it's always been us. In every line of every book, I've always seen us." Season 5. AU. Oneshot.

Kate is still in denial about her feelings for Castle, hiding behind her relationship with Josh. Meanwhile, Castle is beginning to reconsider the possibility that they'll ever be together. So what happens when Castle has made his choice? Stay or walk away

Kate does not answer the question so Castle walks away from Beckett and the relationship he worked so hard for. They both move on. But where do they go? And is there any chance for them?

Crack Fic. What would Season 1 Beckett think of her Season 5 self?

"Josh help you with that?" "No, I broke it off with him. You were right. I didn't love him." Castle nodded. "So your here to tell me I was right. Thanks, good to know." He then walked away from her. Just because she was no longer attached, didn't mean he could forget the months of silence. It can take a millisecond for a heart to break but forever for it to heal. Set 'Rise'

AU for 2x24... I really liked Tom and I wanted to write another ending in which he is a super-good guy and (hopefully) everyone likes him :D Be nice, review, follow, favorite!

Five times Castle went to a funeral, and one time it was his own. Co-written with tombombadillo. COMPLETE.

Three months have passed since that fateful day Kate said no, its time to fix things. RC POV

What would happen if Kate was about to marry Josh. Will Rick tell her not to? Will he stop it? Or will he let Kate marry Josh?

She's torn between the opportunity of a lifetime and the man she loves. What will she choose? What does the future hold for Castle & Beckett? My take on the Season 5 finale. Two-shot.

One-shot inspired by Here Without You from 3 Doors Down. Kate may have ruined her chance to be with him. Rated T for angst.

After a vivid dream, Beckett thinks she's been given a second chance. When she begins to doubt the reality surrounding her, there is only one person she can think of who has come up with crazier things than what she's living through.

There's a new detective in the Precincnt and she's got eyes for Castle. Is Kate jealous enough to do somthing about it? A/U

Set early S4. Kate survives the bullet but their partnership doesn't. Almost everybody agrees that it's too dangerous for Rick to keep shadowing her, so she kicks him out for his own good. The only problem is that Kate can't seem to go cold turkey.

"No, Beckett. I'm tired of trying to convince you that I love you. I'm tired of having to do that. You should already know and if you don't already…I don't think we should even continue." Minor-spoilers for Monday's episode. R&R

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.

The story happens in Season 5 Kate has returned to the Precinct and a New murder has taken place which will strengthen or weaken the Castle family bonds.

This could be considered a rewrite of the season 3 finale and parts of season 4. What if what happened in the hanger had changed and the folder from Montgomery went to someone else. Maybe the best defense is a good offense. NOW COMPLETE.

He has always been there, her rock. Now it is Kate's turn to care for him. When the unthinkable happens, Kate's love and loyalty are put to the ultimate test. Note the rating change to M please. Although, with the M comes the fluff!

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

When Castle's life is threatened, Kate makes the choice to leave everything behind to go after her mother's murderer. Two years later, she returns. But will Castle take her back? Or has too much time passed? AU

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

The fallout from 47 seconds. He knows, she knows he knows. Blood and tears flow among the anger and hurt. What will happen to 'always? *SPOILERS FOR SEASON 4 EPISODE 19*

So I updated this story. I was surprised at the response to it. Please review it and tell me what you think. Its my first fanfic. Be gentle. Oh and I don't own any of the character, the brilliant A.M. does.

Castle decided to write James Bond instead of Nikki Heat and so our Detective and Writer went their separate ways. Three years latter they run into each other again. Where do they go from there?

In a perfect world, neither of them would have been shot. But this is not a perfect world, and Kate's only now beginning to figure that out.

Through all of the secrets and the lies, the betrayal and the pain, the destination was always the same. They were meant to be together. Complete. Winner of the 2012 Castle Fan Awards Best Non Romance/General category!

Its kind of AU. bringing back an old character to cause some mayhem in NYC throw in a Jealous Beckett who will in turn create more problems for Castle. Contains all characters. will try to make it a fluffy at times Caskett based. Rated T to be safe

CASKETT. When Beckett flirts with someone else, Castle cracks under the pressure.

Set sometime after Kate is shot, something goes wrong when Beckett and Castle go to apprehend a suspect, the tables are turned, the roles are reversed, the bullet is in his chest and he is fighting for his life while she is watching him die. chpt 8 fixed!

Rick finally leaves. He and Kate are both broken. And Nikki Heat is coming to a close, what is in store for Caskett? *Caskett pairing, but not in the usual way* Please read and review! Rated T for some language.

Some things are better left unsaid. Some things are never meant to be said. But not this. They both have their own Three Little Words. They both have their own secrets.

The first time he had brought out his ballistics jacket, she had rolled her eyes. Now she knew she should be thankful for it, but she can only curse it because it didn't do its job.

What would have happened if Castle walked away in 4x01 'Rise' and Beckett didn't follow him? warning: a bit angsty

When Castle goes missing, Kate must confront her feelings as she and the team struggle to find him in time. Takes place after season 3, but not a finale fic.

***Please note, the rating has changed to M for chapter 5*** What if Castle quit waiting on Kate? What if he moved on? Rated T for some language.

******Chapter 11 now up**** Rick is in danger. Kate finally realizes just how much he means to her. So what does she do to prove it to him. Angsty to begin and but will be all Caskett eventually.

Takes place right after 4x01. - "You heard him and you remembered what he said and because you were terrified, you selfishly lied into his face..." - Little talk between Beckett and Lanie, where the ME sets the detective's head back straight.
