A collection of unrelated oneshots inspired by prompts received on tumblr.

Set fairly early on in S4. Uh-oh. Beckett inadvertently makes a move on Castle. Now what?

Beckett is distraught when Castle seems to have finally given up hope on them ever being more than just partners, and he begins to pull away from her, prompting her to face up to her own feelings.

They were going back. Headed back to the same ropes course that started their relationship. Only this year, she's not allowed to have him. And that only makes her want him that much more. Sequel to Lust.

After a tiring day of work at the 12th Precinct, Castle takes Beckett out on a romantic date.

She wanted him. She wasn't supposed to want him. He was her partner. Castle was her partner. Based off of the SVU fic "Ropes" by MaddyM.

kairos (ancient Greek) - (n) the perfect, delicate, crucial moment; the fleeting rightness of time and place that creates the opportune atmosphere for action, words, or movement; the time of possibility. COMPLETE

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

Captain Beckett, a ruthless pirate, insists she cares more for her ship than for any human being. But no matter how fast she runs, and she does run, there is one man from her past that she cannot leave behind... (If you're wondering about the title, Persephone is the Greek goddess of the underworld - google it!)

"I love you." A set of eight semi-interconnected one shots set at the end of season four and into season five.

"Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures"- Ralph Waldo Emerson. A series of unrelated one-shots by prompt. Each (hopefully) written within an hour. More to come! Prompt 7: The couples make a bet on who can go without you-know-what the longest.

AU: Beckett is a uniform on the Vice squad at the 12th, five years before she and Castle actually meet in the show. Based on an idea of Cartographical - chezchuckles and I just liked it so much that we each wrote our own. Variations on the same theme, sort of.

Beckett finally admitted her love for Castle. How is this story developed?

"Loaded question," Kate mutters almost under her breath with a tentative sigh of her own, "but what exactly do you want me to play?"

Kate can't sleep. Rick can't either. So, they 'can't sleep' together. Fun, sexy fluff ensues at Kate's apartment. The final chapter has lots of delicious smut.

"I felt it necessary to tell you that the drug may enhance your natural desires. It may cause you to act out of character Kate." Dr. Burke urges Kate to participate in a clinical trial. The effects have interesting consequences for our favorite duo.
