Of all the pages he'd ever penned, of all the words he'd ever written, these anonymous letters to an ink and paper woman—all shadow and mystery and fragile allure—might prove more extraordinary than anything that came before. AU

On a quiet, cool morning in early July, Jim Beckett steps out onto the knotted wood porch of his cabin and does what his daughter can't or won't do for herself: he calls Richard Castle.

"Kate is sitting on the floor between the kitchen and the living room, legs crossed and purple tee hanging loosely off her shoulders, her hair pulled up into an adorable messy bun. Lily sits on her lap, chestnut pigtails poking out from either side of her head, her waving hands covered in blue paint." Follow-up to Handprints on my Heart. For Ally.

Castle & Beckett reflect back on their lives together on their 10th wedding anniversary. Prompt fill for the GoodLuckStana fundraiser.

A 'What if...' for Need to Know - what if Beckett had been able to surprise Castle away from the precinct? *One shot, Complete*

'She's fairly certain she's no one's mother. Surely she'd remember that. How many glasses of wine did she have last night? She'd needed a drink after their case, after the non-hickeys on both her and Castle's necks caused quite the commotion in the bullpen. One? Two maybe? Three tops.' Time travel fill. Two shot.

'It's his first signing abroad since… since she made a mess of things and spent months with him at her side, carefully putting all the pieces back together and earning the forgiveness she sought, the trust she shook.' A post season 8 AU. Inspired by photo prompts sent to me on tumblr.

Sometimes he had to remind himself that it was real, that he was married to a woman who loved him as fiercely as he loved her. That the strong, savvy detective who'd confessed to him once that she wasn't a baby person had taken so well to motherhood. A future fic. COMPLETE.

Future Fic. Rick reassures Lily that she doesn't need to face her monsters alone. Thanks to Andrew W. Marlowe & Terri Edda Miller for dreaming up some spectacular monsters and the extraordinary heroes to slay them.

'Fireworks spooked her, they had for years prior and likely would for years to come, and it was an occasional hazard she had learned to live with, despite sometimes dreading the welcoming of a new year, the arrival of summer.' A future fic for the Fourth of July.

Series Finale Fic. Takes place directly after the violent events in the Castle kitchen and spans the period of time directly after. Spoilers for all seasons of Castle. Multi-chapter.

A chapter per episode of season one. Sometimes they might go AU, a what-if version, sometimes they just fill in between the blanks, sometimes it's only a reaction to the episode as a whole.

He needs to get to her. His wife. He needs to know she's okay. He needs her to know that he's okay. An 8x22 post-ep. COMPLETE.

"Limitless or endless in space, extent, or size; impossible to measure or calculate." My post-ep for the series finale.

Set in/around the final scene of 8x22 (Series Finale). Spoilers for 8x22 within.

'All they went through, all they fought for, shines so brightly in moments like these. And as Castle so often likes to remind her, she would never change their story either, not a single chapter. Not when every page spent with him means more to her than words could ever describe.' Post-ep for 8x22, 'Crossfire'.

Maybe it was her own fault, but in all fairness, when she had handed their suspect off to Ryan and Espo and told them to put him in the box, this is not what she had intended.

post-ep for Veritas, 6x22 "...on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge." 'Dulce Et Decorum Est', Wilfred Owen

A series of unrelated tales about Beckett, Castle and their daughter Ava (who began her journey in auld lang syne, although you don't have to read that to read this.)
