"Beckett got a faraway look in her eye as she caught Esposito's barely-there nod, and then looked at Ryan who wore a grim face. Suddenly, it registered with her - what they might have discovered. Her pulse began to race; her heart was going to come out of her chest. She had to control her breathing at the possibility of what may be." Kate is strong, but facing this part of her past

AU starting with "Boom!" When Castle successfully meddles his way into Kate's past, he uncovers a secret that could break her.

"The writer in him wants the sky to be overcast, with maybe some rain, or – better yet – loud claps of thunder. He's writing some dark, stormy scene in his head, lost among the words, so he doesn't notice the men behind him. He doesn't notice anything until a second before it all happens. And then, it's too late. Everything goes dark." Post Killshot AU

First in Braden Series. Kate is pregnant with Braden. This is her journey through the pregnancy. Rated K. *Updated 03/20/2013* Final chapter is now up!

What if the bullet at the end of Season 3 missed?

When Beckett gets injured while chasing a suspect, she finds that she may not be the woman she thinks she is. AU in so many ways! Not your regular Castle Fic. Give it a shot, you might like it. My first story, please be gentle. :)

It's not Castle. Since Castle is standing behind me would be the most logical reason. I take another step forward, feeling the eyes of all three of them on me slowly cataloging the minute differences. His hair is a little darker, and skin a little paler. He's a bit taller than Castle bit leaner, a thinner structure over all. The eyes aren't brilliant blue.

Castle and Beckett explore their fantasies. Yes, in a sensual, naughty way. Yes, this is smut. Pure smut. Really graphic. Take care if you don't like that. It is smutty, by the way! Chapter six has arrived with a hot sports lesson...

"Kate..." his voice was hoarse and he took a step toward her, took the glass from her hand and set it on the counter beside him. She couldn't move, could only stare at him, at his eyes and then his lips; so inviting. She couldn't break her eyes from them as he came closer and then he was only a breath away and her heart beat so fast it almost hurt.

Kate Beckett and Richard Castle are dealing with the aftermath of the shooting at Montgomery's funeral.

Post Ep, 5X06. Castle promised Kate breakfast in bed for a week if she would try on her Lt. Chloe outfit for him. Does he really fulfill the promise of a week of breakfasts?

People have breaking points. So do relationships. When an emotional case hits close to home will Castle push his relationship with Beckett too far? Or just far enough? Sequel to Go Home Castle. Rated M for freedom later. Any M chapters will be labeled.
