Chapter 28. Life goes on and Kate discovers magic is real.

By cartographical, Sandiane Carter, and chezchuckles. 19. Live for a year in Paris. Kate says, No, only a month, Castle. This is what Bucket List version of Caskett did over the summer hiatus.

Kate has a sudden realization that she is ready for more with Castle. As a result, she needs to revamp her lingerie drawer.

Always SPOILERS. Co-authored by Sandiane Carter and chezchuckles. How Kate Beckett and Rick Castle spend their summer.

47 Seconds is less than a minute, but can it set the ground work for a life time? Rated T/M for later chapters. This story may contain spoilers from promos but I don't watch sneak peaks.

A man is found dead with Castle's wallet in his pocket

Castle/Beckett. The first time Alexis finds them, she knows she wasn't supposed to find them at all.

Rick Castle, who kept her from freezing to death and held her hand in front of a bomb, prepared to die with her, wasn't who she was going home with. Kate's night after the end of Countdown.

Part 10 - Despite the rocky beginning, it's always led to this. To them. Caskett smut.
