'He doesn't know Emily Byrne, but something about her has him wanting to throw all his years of special training to the wind and run straight into danger with her.' Inspired by 1x04, 'Me, You, Him, Me', and gives what is probably a very AU idea of how Emily and Nick got to where they are now.

"Castle." His lashes rise, nearly graze hers in their ascent. She's never been this close before and yet, somehow, she still doesn't feel close enough, still wants so much more. "I love you."

5x02 scenario where Castle leaves to go on the date with Kristina and Kate texts him to tell him to go to her place instead. Written for the Castle Pornado!

Castle & Beckett, trapped in a carwash...enough said. A fun, smutty contribution to the Castle Pornado, set during Beckett's suspension.

Her husband looks great in anything, of course, but she especially loves the way his broad shoulders fill out the tailored suit jacket, how his ass looks in his slacks. How the Christmas lights strung from the ceiling reflect in his hair, against his skin. A season 7 M-rated one shot. COMPLETE.

"She's pacing. She knows it won't make time pass any faster, won't make him arrive any faster but she can't help it. He's been gone for seven days and her body started craving him, his touch and arousing ministrations about an hour after his departure." Early Season 5 AU where Castle leaves on a book tour. For the Castle Pornado!

"No matter what you do, no matter the obstacles that arise or the mistakes either of us make, I'll never be able to give up on us." After nearly two years apart, Castle and Beckett attempt to find their way back home in time for the holiday season. A season 8 AU.

A continuation of my other story "Nothing Short of Love". The night between "Always" and "After The Storm".

8x08 Post-Ep, enough said.

'The second he kisses her, she already knows her chances of leaving the loft anytime soon are doomed. ' An insert for the bedroom scene of 8x07, 'The Last Seduction'.

"So when she sees his shirt haphazardly tossed over the chair, she can't stop herself from picking it up and inhaling his scent. She misses the smell of him on their sheets, on her clothes, on her skin. Her eyes start to water at the thought and she stuffs the shirt into her bag to wrap herself up in later." Post-ep for 8x05

"You know, Castle, your bucket list was way more PG-13 that I thought it'd be." A series of steamy little one-shots based on our favorite couple's new weekly tradition. Season 5.

"Do we have time for me to help you get dressed?" he murmurs, lips glancing the curve of her bare shoulder. Kate shifts in the circle of his arms, rotating to face him, to cup his cheeks in her hands like she had only moments before in his office. "We have time." Insert for 7x23, Hollander's Woods.

'Her hand flies to his forehead before she even realizes what she's doing, but his damp skin and fevered flesh steal her attention from the meaning behind her unplanned touch and that familiar worry uncoils from its hiding place inside her stomach.'

'She can't even bring herself to be upset about the twin bed; they'll put the limited space to good use...' A Once Upon a Time in the West post-ep.

"The moment hits them both squarely on the chest. Images from the last hour flicker between them; hot, sweet memories they know will never completely fade, no matter where this takes them."

He never thought it could hurt like this. AU for 5x05, "Probable Cause."

In that one moment, he knows he's ruined.

It feels good, so good to have him touching her, but it's a frisson of pleasure and pain, an intersection that's setting her aflame in a way she can't control or understand.

The full-body massage Castle gives Beckett from 5x22, but it doesn't have anything to do with the episode. This has happy sexy times.

Castle remembers this feeling, this hot rush of fear. Post Ep for "Still"

He starts out slowly. Subtly. A light touch at the small of her back to usher her through a doorway. Grazing his fingers across the bend of her elbow to get her attention in the bullpen. Freeing the hair trapped in her collar after helping with her jacket. Small gestures of physicality meant to acclimate her to his touch, the feel of his hands on her body. One Shot. Complete.

Of course he believes it's real. He's - well, he's him. Magic and curses and zombie apocalypses are right up his alley. *An insert of sorts for 5x17, vague spoilers* Now a two shot. Complete.

Still reeling following his daughters kidnapping, Castle can't cope, and it could mean the end of his relationship with Kate. Disclaimer: The characters belong to Andrew W. Marlowe, not to me, though I wish they did because I would definitely have them kissing with the lights on!

She'd almost run out and bought him something on at least three separate occasions. She's so glad she didn't. **Post ep for 5x14. One shot. Complete.**

Prompt based on the unfinished conversation between Castle & Beckett in the isolation tent during 3x16: 'Setup'. "… I wish that I had someone who would be there for me, and I could be there for him, and we could just dive in to it together," she says wistfully." What might have happened next it they hadn't been interrupted... COMPLETE

The moonlight casts a silver glow across the walls, a shimmering haze that draws her attention, the edges waving as the clouds roll past. She can feel the remnants of the champagne working through her body, the little bubbles hitching a ride in her blood, making her head float and her skin tingle. *One Shot. Complete*

My post-ep for Probable Cause. "His warm breath washes in reverent preamble before the soft, sure brush of his mouth finds the edges, just exactly where he knows the touch won't sting, won't make things worse. An invocation that walks that perfect line between too much and not enough."

Response to 5x05 Probable Cause. One shot. Kate and Castle sort out their feelings in the aftermath of 3XKs return, finding solace and healing in each other. Disclaimer: These characters and settings do not belong to me, they belong to the great Andrew Marlowe and company, with whom I am, regrettibly, unaffiliated. I welcome your feedback!

Post-ep for Murder, He Wrote. aka, the Hamptons episode. What happened on their drive home.

This story picks up where "Cloudy With a Chance of Murder" leaves off. This is my first stab at a Castle fanfic, in fact, it's only my second fanfic ever so I hope y'all like it. Feedback is more than welcome! This is definitely rated M. Disclaimer: None of the characters are mine. They belong to the great Andrew Marlowe.

She curls her hand around his ear, fingers brushing through his hair as he lies there, head cradled on her chest, body heavy over hers. Post ep, 5x02.

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.

"So you liked it?" - "Yeah." - "Even the part where..." - "Especially that part. I loved that." The reassurance tumbles from his lips, so eager and blissful, the memory sharp behind his eyes, stealing his breath all over again as he remembers... Episode insert for 5x01, 'After The Storm.'

Post-ep mid-ep? for "After the Storm." There's none of the playfulness that marked the last time. Nor is it like the first time—raw, desperate need tinged still with anger and a deep hurt. This time is purposeful, deliberate. One shot. Complete. Rated M.

If it were possible for time to stop, for the earth to pause in its spinning, it would happen for them on this night. The hours between "Always" and "After the Storm." Now complete.

Tousled hair and long toned legs are all he can see as she moves across the room slowly, the tails of one of his shirts brushing along her thighs, the cuffs hanging low over her hands. ***Spoilers for the promo for 5x01***

A series of unrelated, well maybe some semi-related tales of Rick & Kate's adventures/encounters post 'Always'. Not necessarily alphabetical or chronological but laden with romance/smut, humour, angst and all-round 'Casketty' goodness.

There are only these truths for him: Someone wants Kate dead. Kate wants him. He cannot let her walk out his door alone.

Himitsu-Bako is a Japanese Personal Secret Box. Set after Headhunters, although I've seen no spoilers for anything upcoming. COMPLETE
