This story begins when Kate and Rick are lying bleeding on the floor and holding hands in Ep 8-22. It is meant to fill in the seven year gap left by the writers. Kate wants to do bigger things to clean up the kind of corruption that allowed LokSat to happen. Of course I own nothing Castle, but soldier on with it's passing. CastleFicathon2016

I just escaped from possibly the most awkward date in the history of Earth, and I need to decompress. I brought ice cream. And wine. And cupcakes. 1x7, Home is Where the Heart Stops.

Castle and Beckett on their honeymoon (One shot for now may add more)

Post "For Better or Worse" fic. Who was following him? Who staged that accident? And who still had a way to seek revenge? None other than Jerry Tyson. So what really happened to Castle? And what lengths is Kate willing to go to get her Happily Ever After? This is my theory on what went down. Rated T for more risqué writing later on.

After the tragic accident involving Castle, his loving fiance mourns his absence and prepares for life without him until...This is set post 6X23 until 7X1...what I think should happen...

This is a tag to For Better or Worse, what I think happened off camera that last few minutes. The followup chapters covers my take on what happened after the credits rolled. Rating is to be on the safe side. Obvious spoilers for season 6 finale.

Young Kate Beckett had looked for a night to forget only to find it turned into one she would remember for the rest of her life. AU

What if Castle had taken the bullet meant for Kate at the end of Knockout?
