52 weeks. 52 cards. 52 reasons. (Chapter a week, spoilers for season 5 but not season 6)

Seriously, this just isn't fair. She so rarely has a day off in the middle of the week, and instead of spending it lounging in bed with her, all her delicious nakedness aligned with his, he has to sit through Black Pawn meetings. Happy Birthday, AC!

"I thought you said you weren't going to dance," he says, bending his head close to hers. "I thought you wanted to touch," she says. A series of one-shots, each chronicling a different first for Castle and Beckett as a couple.

She's dizzy. So dizzy that the world seems to tilt on its axis.

Because eventually, they're going to take that trip to Bora Bora. Spoilers for The Lives Of Others.

Very late Post Always-fic, and yes, darling, there are spoilers. Fairly high T-rating, but I'm not going to call it M-cursing and some sexuality. What happens after...

She looks nervous when he glances at her, lip between her teeth and worry in her eyes. And he shakes his head because – no. No, this is good. This is a good thing. Fluffy Fluff. No Spoilers. For liviafan1.

"The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea." - Isak Dinesen :: AU, as if the events of 'Always' didn't happen.

Sometimes you can't solve your problems yourself. You need someone else to provide the alleviation. And when Kate throws herself into a case and her shell, almost forgetting herself, there's someone there for her. Rating might change.

Missing scenes just after "Killshot" since Beckett's attitude has drastically changed for the better - couldn't see her doing that without a bit of input from her favorite writer.

'And with that, Kate's day off was no longer her own.' When Beckett is called to care for a sickly Castle, who knows what will happen? Awful summary but please read and review. A fluffy fic, aimed to please. Chapter 5 has just gone up!
