What does Richard Castle want for Christmas? Is Kate Beckett ready to give such a gift?

In the end, all it took was a night out with drinks and friends. But can they pick up enough of the pieces in the aftermath to make a whole? Wall breaker, three parter.

Their relationship has started with the help of Dr. Burke...but not all is easy or well. Yes, there is a case too. I don't even have a clue what genre to leave this in...This fic has taken on a life of its own that I had no idea I created...oops...maybe

Spoilers for Cuffed. When Rick needs her, the wall finally comes down.

Kate is jealous. Rick is confused. Can they both control their emotions long enough to get what they really want? Season four -

It's slow at the precinct. No murder to solve has them killing time, playing games, making conversation, thinking about going home early or contemplating pranks on Sir Gates. But for Beckett and Castle? They just can't seem to get any alone time.

Context is important. Context can change everything, even the simplest of statements like 'I love you.' Emotional story about Rick's feelings and reactions to the shooting, and a different kind of potential roadblock to their relationship. NOW COMPLETE.

COMPLETE. Set at the end of Boom! Season 2. Beckett stays over with Castle after he saves her life in the warehouse, and finds herself a little more vulnerable than she would like. Caskett, of course.

Setup/Countdown timeline. Josh goes to Haiti and Beckett and Castle get a little...cozier. Oneshot.

With Jenny and Ryan planning a wedding, crazy things are to ensue for the 12th. Castle and Beckett are closer than ever, and this might be just what they needed to take that final leap. Mild Season 4 spoilers.

Beckett and Castle have always been close, but a case that threatens to put Castle's life in danger pulls them even closer. Scared, confused, happy, in love. It's Castle and Kate, at their finest.

A collection of one-shots. Mostly Caskett. Strong T rating.

The night and morning after their relationship changes. Nearly plot-less Casketty goodness.

Castle convinces Beckett to attend the Heat Wave movie premiere with him.

Kate met Rick by accident one cold morning in Central Park. Based on Adele's song with the same title. Completely AU.

Beckett and Castle are banished to her father's cabin in the woods. Alone. For days. Make of that what you will.

When Kate Beckett went to get her book signed by Richard Castle, she never imagined that she'd end up meeting his daughter, much less offering to babysit for the afternoon. AU.

Season 4, This picks up at the end of Cops & Robbers. I've started with the ending scene of Castle and Beckett having dinner with Martha and Alexis, at the loft. With what unfolded earlier that day, Kate realizes that she's wasting valuable time.

She realizes that after all they've been through; they never talk about things like this, never a past that contains good memories like a scrapbook. She's stunned, honored that he would share this memory with her.

A young actress is killed, at first the body appears untouched, which makes life difficult for the detective and the writer. Castle and Beckett work their way through a web of deceit to find the truth, and end up with more than one kind of confession!

Nine months ago she gave him up at the behest of his daughter - choosing to break herself in order to free him. As dumb ideas go it's the worst one ever. ***Finalist for 'Best Romance' in the 2012 Castle Fan Fiction Awards.***

After a hard case, the team decides to go to the Old Haunt for a drink, Beckett wants to go but Josh has other plans, but of course Beckett puts him in his place. Reveiws are welcome

My take on what happens at Ryan's wedding. How will Beckett and Castle handle being in such a romantic situation? Rated T for language. Three-shot.

Nothing is the same for Castle after the events of 3X13 Knockdown. But will he ever be able to breach the walls of Kate's fortress? SEASON 3 SPOILERS

based on the production stills for Cops and Robbers - What brings Kate to Castle's loft after the bank robbery?

Kate is healing from being shot but there is a lot of guilt involved. Summary sucks and will change soon. Minor spoilers, such as new captain's name, nothing much more than that. I am moving across country and might not be able to post too often.

***Please note, the rating has changed to M for chapter 5*** What if Castle quit waiting on Kate? What if he moved on? Rated T for some language.

Ch. 5: Kate figured out long ago that had the two of them met, Johanna would have absolutely loved Rick Castle and immediately started dropping subtle hints like So Katie, when's the wedding? Caskett.

Is Castle really asking Beckett out on a date? Can she believe he's serious about it? Basically just fluff.

Castle wasn't going to challenge Beckett's statement that this was déjà vu. In the end she'd realise it was fate. Set after 3.17

What would have happened had things gone a little differently in 'Tick, tick, tick' and 'Boom'. HEAVY SPOILERS for those episodes. Now Complete.

Starts off with the end of season 3, when Beckett is shot and goes into what happens after. I used the scene from the hospital to start out and went on from there with my own spin on what could happen. Thanks for reading!

Katherine Beckett has a game plan. And the prize? Richard Castle.

When the dark side of police life hits close to home, Alexis Castle comes face to face with her worst fears. Knockout & Rise Spoilers!

COMPLETE at 100. AU: Kate and Castle try to adjust to life as parents. Check out AC's preview video on youtube: /watch?v nARnCrP2Z98 Thanks AC!

Post episode 3x24 cliffhanger therapy. Hurt/comfort.

An extended version of the story for the multi-author fic, 'Shotgun–Conversations in the Car'. Are Kate & Rick lost to each other forever? Is Kate about to make the biggest mistake of her life? Not if Jim can help it. Epilogue added!

Their story isn't even half written yet. He has the power to give Nikki Heat a happy ending and so he has the power to give Kate Beckett one too. That's his job.

It's the Heat wave movie premiere in New York, and the gang is attending. Page 105 on screen stirs some repressed feelings and starts another chapter in Beckett's and Castle's life. End of cheesy summary, sorry about that !

Detective Katherine Beckett hates going into a situation without all the facts. Too bad love doesn't come with a guidebook.

The second she had seen Castle with that awful green and white rope around his neck she had decided to stop running. She didn't want to fight him anymore. She no longer wanted to ignore the words he thinks she doesn't remember. Mid Season 4.

The first time Rick Castle hears the word 'no' from Kate Beckett, they're in mid-introduction.

Everybody's in Kate's business, trying to help her move forward. Lots of Jim & Rick conspiring to make Caskett happen. Sweet story; it'll make you feel good. It might make you laugh & cry a little.

Series 4 speculation. Working imperfectly from rumours and old shows. Castle is losing Kate. The new Captain wants him gone. The Dragon is watching. A new romance for Castle looms. Alexis is worried. How will it work? Caskett, rest assured.

"You had to undress Booth… for the sake of science," Angela repeats straight-facedly. Her eyes, however, betray her unholy glee.

Takes place after Countdown. Castle and Beckett finally talk about their undercover kiss, what it truly meant to both of them, and where they want to go from here. Story is now complete with an epilogue!
