Completely AU story. What would happen if Kate and Rick met when his child is kidnapped. Set in the past.

"She isn't here, Mr. Castle. Don't you want to protect her? Isn't that what all of this is about?" AU from "Always"

In the quiet room there was no one awake to hear her almost inaudible whisper of 'I love you too.' When Detective Beckett wakes from her surgery with a rather puzzling case of amnesia she is left wondering about many things, especially her last name. Set at the end of season three.

Outside, cops and clerks moved about their days. She felt far away from that world. It was just her and him and he knew her and when he held her at night, she didn't feel lonely anymore. She let out a long breath. "I'm pregnant," she whispered.

A young Kate Beckett spends her summer waitressing at a local shack on a Jersey beach, tending to her alcoholic father and paying her way through the academy. One night, her world turns on its feet when Rick Castle enters the door...and her heart. AU. COMPLETE.

For months she's been gone. Months in which Castle's been forced to believe that Kate Beckett was dead. Eight full months in which he's missed her, craved her, mourned her. Now she's standing on his doorstep, two coffees in slightly shaking hands and Castle's world collapses. Direct spoilers for 4x23 Always, but most probably AU from there.

Rick and Kate meet for the first time at the hospital. Why are they here? How will it go? How will it impact their lives? Read to find out ;- Rick: 30; Kate: 23; Alexis: 5

Beckett is awaken by a call and it's from the last person she expected. Alexis has been attacks and needs her...

How did you destroy a man's entire life? Erase everything he'd thought he'd known? It couldn't be easy to have some of your most basic assumptions about your life thrown into question. AU. Alexis comes to Beckett with some interesting news.

If you want a story that feels realistic, and will make you laugh as well as cry, than this one is for you. Drama mixed with fun, romance, and unexpected developments for Castle and Beckett.

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.***

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!

The call about the body came from Lanie, at four in the morning, on her day off. Lanie never called her about bodies.

She was right; he thought ironically; the blood on the front her sweater wasn't hers. However, the red that was blossoming on the left side of her body certainly was.

Alexis' summer program isn't all that it's cracked up to be and she wants to go home but, Castle is being held hostage in the Hamptons by Gina, and Martha is off doing her own thing. So who does she call?
