My entry for the Castle Hiatus Ficathon 2013. In which Kate and Rick build a foundation strong enough to weather a marriage. SPOILERS for all US aired episodes including 5x24.

Beckett is in DC and Castle is in NYC - Post Watershed - with all spoilers inherently in play. Decisions have been made and stands taken, but someone from their past will force them to face one another one more time. Will Caskette conquer all? This is my first fanfiction EVER! Cover art by dtrekker - Castle 2013 Ficathon entry-Rating M for some language and later chapters.

Rick and Kate celebrate the new year and their lives may be changed for ever. Please give it a chance, the summary is really horrible.

Crack Fic. What would Season 1 Beckett think of her Season 5 self?

Rick and Kate have been dating for over 12 months. Kate isn't feeling that well. Rick is concerned. Is Kate not taking care of herself or something else?

This is a post-season 5 finale thing examining the events following Watershed and the questions everybody wants answers to. Will Caskett fall apart, or will they get their happily ever after? Will she say yes or no? What is Beckett's reaction to the question? This is my perspective on the answers to these questions and the ensuing events.

Immediately after Castle proposes, he and Beckett finally begin to work out their issues when what might be Beckett's last case with the NYPD takes a surprising twist. Post-"Watershed" story and my prediction for what will happen in the season 6 premiere.

There are twenty four hours in a day. There are thousands of days in a lifetime. There are a million moments that make up their story. (Please note, rating increased to M for chapter 9.)

He promised her Always. "He's not coming. Isn't he." Kate's voice said, cracking slightly. "I don't think so sweetie?" Before she stop it a tear slipped down her cheek. Post Watershed and above.

This is our follow-up to Where I Belong ( which you can find posted under purplangel, who is co-writing this story). Please take the time to read it before you dive in to this installment! The Where I Belong series is our version of what we want Caskett's "Always" to look like. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as we have writing it! Read and review often!

Finale speculation fic, turned slightly A/U post-ep. It's been almost a year to the day since she last sat in this playground and wept for all she had ruined. I just want you, she had said. She has done an awful job of proving it these last few weeks. *Now Complete*

A little fic about how I think how Castle should have progressed after Ryan discovered that Castle and Beckett are dating. Rated T, just to be safe. Enjoy! :)

There were so many things he wanted to say to her but that wasn't a part of their relationship. So he wrote her letters instead, hid them away, never intending for her to read them. Until one day, Kate stumbled upon them by mistake. Complete.

"Only this time he didn't come to promote a book, this time he came to say goodbye."

Kate never wanted to feel the way she felt the night she returned home that cold night on January 9th, 1999. She didn't want to love and lose again so she figured better not to love at all. But she was feeling it again. Reliving that cold, horrific night as she steps into the frustrating case of Rick Castle's disappearance that will emotionally wreck her.

Conjecture on the end of season arc, with a conversation between Kate and Alexis. Chapter 2 now up. WARNING, contains spoiler info from Still

What if Castle blames himself for beckett's shooting and decides to leave, just when she realises he is all that she wants. Can Beckett convince castle to stay? Would our dynamic duo finally each other a chance? Has minor spoilers for RISE( 4x01). Starts on a broody note but gets lighter as it unwinds, i promise. Rated T for now, may change to M later.

My AU thoughts for the end of season 5. Castle has packed up to leave Kate. Is he leaving For good? Why? Will they reconnect? When?

The reality of spending an entire week in the Hamptons with Kate already has him completely on edge, but when she casually drops her hand to his leg, fingers tracing tantalizing patterns on the inside of his thigh, he's not sure they're going to make it to the beach house without him crashing his car into a ditch. Complete.

Set sometime post "47 seconds" and "The Limey" but pre "Always". After wrapping up a case, Beckett and Castle share the elevator down on their way out of the precinct. When a sudden mechanical malfunction leaves them stuck between floors, they finally have the conversation that they have been avoiding. Their hurts and true feelings will finally come out.

Each week, Kate adds a new song to her playlist on her iPod. Each chapter is a one-shot based on the song that she got that week, focusing solely on her and Castle's relationship. Is much better than the summary leads you to believe! Give it a chance!

"She woke to his hands smoothing gently up and down her back, the warmth of his body close behind her but out of sight in the dimly pinking light of dawn." A fun, sexy little follow-up to my earlier story, "Time Saved," in honor of the start of Daylight Savings Time today. Thanks to Angie for my awesome "Art-on-Demand," and to Joy for reprising her role as beta-extraordinaire.

"Kate stared at the tiny pink plus in the window of the white plastic strip she held. She shook it as like it was an Etch-A-Sketch and she could make the vertical line disappear." Complete.

post-ep for Target/Hunt. Kate's side of the Welcome Home party.

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

Based on a prompt: What if the crime in the alley scene in 'Always' had nothing to do with Kate's shooting or her mom's murder. And the John Woo marathon went ahead. Would Kate show up at the loft and what happens next? "His footfalls greet her like an approaching army, striking fear and terror, laced with excitement and something that feels suspiciously like arousal, within her."

How Castle and Beckett spend their extra hour at the end of Daylight Savings. Hint: it doesn't involve sleeping. At all.

"So…" whispered Kate, a slight smile curving her lips and threatening to break wide open like the sun bursting free of a cloud, "you wanna talk about it?" she asked tentatively, looking up at him from beneath dark lashes. How the story might continue post-Always. The morning after...well, in my little world... If you find Ch1 a little OTT it does get better. COMPLETE.

*Kate has been kidnapped* by an underground sex trafficking ring. Castle's trying to save her. This story is on the dark side as it will have light torture, light bondage, voyeurism. No BDSM / No rape. Strong Rating. *This is my personal favorite story*

Castle, Beckett, and the Ferrari go to Connecticut. Chapter 2 is co-written with Cora Clavia and shimmeryshine.

Castle and Beckett investigate a spate of high profile strangling cases in SoHo, finding themselves wrestling with their feelings for one another along the way. Drama, angst, love and romance. COMPLETE!

Smut, murder, mayhem, the whole enchilada! Beckett and Castle fighting an undeniable attraction, and failing spectacularly. 24/25 UP
