"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

A continuation of "New Beginnings"

What if Kate and Rick had met in middle school? What would they're friendship be like? How would they navigate they're budding romance? Time jumps do occur. This is pretending Rick is only a year older than Kate.

"Kate woke up. She turned around to 'his' part of the bed. Only… it wasn't his part of the bed anymore. She had broken up with him, and now she realized she wasn't even sad about it." Because she broke up with him over Rick. And now, after 3 months she was ready for wanting him. AU from the season 3 finally...

They were much more. Total AU fic. I've read similar fics, so i thought I'd give it a try too :) I don't own Castle.

Castle smiles, ruffling Ava's hair. She grunts softly but her little hands wrap around his back as if grounding herself to him, staying safe and warm.

Possible scenario for Probable Cause. Started as an inteorragation scene but has morphed into more. Includes possible spoilers for 5x05. "Beckett, you know me." "Do I?" Is this about murder or trust.
