It started off with an energy chew and a note. And then it grew into a habit, a routine, a "thing" - Valerie and John's thing.

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

One scene – A thousand words. The same challenge as last year; to create a linking moment between each Season Six episode. One chapter a day until Season Seven arrives.

Post "For Better or Worse" fic. Who was following him? Who staged that accident? And who still had a way to seek revenge? None other than Jerry Tyson. So what really happened to Castle? And what lengths is Kate willing to go to get her Happily Ever After? This is my theory on what went down. Rated T for more risqué writing later on.

This is a Season 7 supposition only. I have no knowledge of spoilers or teasers, this is purely an idea at what their winter would look like in 2014-2015 after that season-ending fiery accident.

If it wasn't Castle in the car, then where is he? This is my entry for the 2014 Ficathon - mini version

Post 6x23- Struggling to deal with Castle's disappearance, Beckett finds out that she has some additional motivation to find her missing fiance'

Every little moment, every bit of emotion, pain or joy, that Richard Castle felt, even a few off-camera moments, it's all here in writing. Because he is every bit as noble as Kate Beckett. And I wanted to do him justice. "And he couldn't wait to find out what happened next."

It was supposed to be always; they were supposed to have their happy ending, their fairytale. Not this. Post 6x23.

'It had to be a dream.' A post-ep for 6x23, For Better or For Worse. Two shot.

Valerie opened the note, in the slightly messy script of a man not accustomed to writing in pen was the perfect response...

"He's touching her the same way he always does, but tonight it's lighting her up like it did in the very beginning." Castle and Beckett have to keep quiet.

An angsty post-ep for 'For Better Or Worse' (6x23) that explores one possible scenario for what might have happened to Castle. Description of torture, if that sort of thing bothers you. Somewhat uplifting ending.

All he wanted was to help her, to make her see that it didn't matter, so what she was a chrome that didn't define her. Valerie had proved that when she chose the life of a civil servant, and everyday since through her dedication, hard work and kindness.

Oneshots of John Kennex and Valerie Stahl.

John has some issues but Dorian is here to take care of business. I don't own anything about 'Almost human', I only have my imagination. I'm french so sorry by advance for my english, I hope it won't spoil everything.

Not a future fic or AU fic. Aimily. Spoilers up to 3x13. [disclaimer: I don't own anything!]

Valerie has a different fate. Valerie Stahl and John Kennex get closer.
