Summary: An alternate storyline path beginning in at that moment where Kate confesses more than she meant to in the Interrogation room, and the aftermath that it rains down on Rick.

Post-47 Seconds. 'Kate stands several feet away from Castle's spot at the far end of the bar, hands jammed into her pants pockets, fists curled up tight with her short nails digging half-moons into her palms while the writer studiously tries to ignore her. "You're angry." "You think?" His voice is harsh, dripping sarcasm.

What if Kate had taken Castle up on that "debriefing" after their first case? Would that have been the end of them? Or would the writer simply have uncovered more clues to inspire him within the beautiful puzzle that was Detective Kate Beckett?

Beckett finally realizes that she has feelings for Castle, but a clingy ex-girlfriend comes back into Castle's life and throws everything into chaos. Read and review please!

Sequel to Perspective. Kate has a decision to make. Castle and Sorenson are involved. BTW I don't own anyone...never have.

Beckett's team is called in to investigate a murder at the New York Comicon. They find out what happens when people test the limits of fiction. Caskett. Rated M mainly for gore.

Its starts to pour, and Rick invites Kate into his apartment... Caskett fanfic, as usual! Rated M for some scenes.

...those ridiculous neon ice skates at Rockefeller center." Castle takes Beckett out for some Christmas eve fun!

Castle is still out of Detective Beckett's life and the 'Heat Wave' release party is fast approaching. Alexis has a plan to get them back together, but will it work out like she planned?

Under normal circumstances, you should not be here. Law-smart good-looking women become lawyers, not cops, and yet, here you are. Please R&R

AU. What occurances of the past were enough to result in Brennan becoming a criminal in the present? And what if Booth was investigating both circumstances? B/B. T for safety. Sequel posted. Look for "Blind Rooster's Crow."

Brennan and Booth go to a performance of Sex Through the Ages and their imaginations...

He said all they would need was one night. One night to get it all out of their system and then everything would be back to normal. B and B.

Summary: This is the second part of This is Life. If you haven’t already read it, this will still make sense... for the most part... but I recommend you read the first part.

It's Brennan's birthday and Booth decides she ought to live a little.

In the CDC’s communal decontamination showers, a situation of sexual arousal boils over.

[BB] She didn't want to get personal with Seeley Booth. He had been right when he accused her of being turned on by their fights... but that didn't mean she wanted to get into anything personal with him. Chapter 11 now up.

Brennan and Booth discover what life is together and learn that sometimes, happiness comes at a price. It gives me such joy to announce that this story is now complete!

Booth is disturbed by a new reason to protect his partner. Chapter Seventeen is here ITS THE FINAL CHAPTER! Rating change for violence and language.

Booth&Brennan get themselves into a hostage situation, BB in later chaps. Rated M language and violence.

Temperance Brennan has acquired herself a fan she’d rather not have. And maybe a bodyguard is required! This story is now complete!

A short little fiction about a storm, torture, and comfort. Rain, love and understanding. BB all the way.

Brennan asks Booth what his rulebreaking means for their relationship. Man in the Morgue post ep!

Booth and Temperance give in to their feelings for one another, but not without some heartache.

A standard FBI expedition into the forest turns into something else. Eventually rated M NOW COMPLETE!
