Kate and Rick explore new, lingerie-inspired aspects of their relationship. M-rated content from my lingerie story, Enlightenment. This one has emotional content and character development. And fluffy, smutty, Casketty goodness. Gotta have that.

Post "47 Seconds". A cold winter day... yeah, I know, just bear with me... an unlikely accident and an angry Castle to the rescue. Need I say more? Rated M. One-shot.

Sequel to Ignition, but you don't need to have read it to understand this. Kate and Rick are trying to take their relationship to the next level, but work always seems to get in their way. Will they overcome the obstacles? Caskett fluff and smut. Enjoy!

Cat's out of the bag for both of them, and Castle is crushed in the wake of the truth. Because if she cares for him at all - then how could she do this? ***Finalist for 'Best Drama' in the 2012 Castle Fanfiction Awards.***

Kate Beckett only has so many pieces.

Kate Beckett loses a bet to Richard Castle and finds herself spending the Christmas holidays with him and his family at his cabin, Victory Lodge, in the Catskills. What happens under the Moonlight and Mistletoe? -tons of smut-

Bonus 'M' rated chapter. Goes with the story 'The Lights Go Down' at the end of chapter 11, and pre-chapter 12. Dedicated to Purplangel.

Kate and Rick finally go out on a date and he teaches her lots of new things. The first chapter is rated T but the rating till rise to M for following chapters. Co-Written with 4evercaskett. ***Now complete! Keep an eye out for the sequel, Teach Me More.

Why the long look during the eulogy? What made Castle finally admit his feelings? Yes, it was 7 months ago, but it could have happened this way. Missing scene from season 3 finale. Caskett angst, fluff, & smut, not necessarily in that order.

Castle loses a bet and offers to win back his dignity playing poker with Beckett. But when the stakes get higher, what do you think will happen? M rated!

Extra scene from Bringing Sexy Back. Co-authored by Sandiane Carter and Cora Clavia.

What starts out as an unusual case becomes a life-changing experience for Castle and Beckett… Rated M for violence and good old smut.

Set post LA, the end of season 3 nowhere in sight Very AU. What can the events of a single alcohol filled night lead to? Something big? On the contrary it could lead to something very small indeed...

The events of this story take place after 4.1 "Rise." Kate's investigation into a horrifying series of murders brings her closer to Castle. Eventually, Kate has to choose between a relationship with Castle or to continue her mother's investigation.

Something happens to completely upturn the lives of Castle and Beckett, throwing them into an adventure that tests and pushes them to their extremes. Mystery, action, and love ensue.

When Beckett and Castle finally kiss, they can't deny their attraction anymore. Beckett tries anyway. They have to somehow figure out their personal issues while trying to solve murders as usual. 3rd season AU Caskett fluff. Some Esplanie too. Enjoy!

"And that was all. Just a kiss?" Life after the kiss.

What would Richard Castle do if he thought he was dreaming? Based on the series promo just a little shift in location …if you haven't seen it, go to youtube and search for Hugo Bread & Butter on ABC's Castle. The fic will make much more sense if you do.

This is the adult companion piece for Apples & Cherries. If you haven't read that story, you totally should. But I'm biased. I guess it will make sense without the rest of the story. Sex is sex.

Castle and Beckett are masters of miscommunication. So many lost opportunities that make you want to slap them sometimes. Here's a story of how they get together but for all the wrong reasons.

A delicate and sometimes awkward dance between Beckett and Castle as they move from UST to RST. Finally finished to my satisfaction.

When Beckett steps away from her desk Castle's curiosity gets the better of him. He never expected to be crushed by what he found in her drawer. Is it too late for them or can he convince her that he's her 'one and done? Rated M, not fluff, angst warning.

"It means that you think you're this big, tough homicide detective. But in reality, Beckett, you are just a scared, little girl that can't own up to her own feelings. You. Are. A. Coward."

Set post "Countdown" Beckett is ready to admit her feelings for Castle and they move their relationship to the next level.

He had flown too near the sun. His wax had melted, his wings had failed him, and he had fallen. But Icarus was not failing as he fell, just coming to the end of his triumph.

Takes place in the minutes after end of episode "Countdown". What needs to happen for Castle and Beckett to admit they love each other?

All's fair in love and sex wars.

Beckett and Castle begin to come to terms with where their relationship is heading

Kate fears Rick might be her one and done.

Something happens to make Beckett reevaluate her relationship with Josh. Castle tries to do the right thing despite his own feelings.

All her will and senses may succumb to the memory of that night. Post-kiss fic. Probably a 2 or 3-shot. M right now for a few choice words.

"Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, pain of love lasts a lifetime." Tragedy strikes. Can Beckett help get him back on his feet or is the Rick Castle we know and love gone forever?

Beckett and Castle are following a lead when they find themselves being quarantined and forced into a cold decontamination shower together. SMUT WARNING!

Castle invites Kate to a Firefly party.C/B fluff & sex. 1st time posting as well. Hope you are familiar with Firefly, otherwise much understanding will be lost,as well as humor. Reviews will be appreciated. New story, Fate, begins where this one ends.

What if Gina hadn't got hold of Castle to talk,& he hadn't invited her away instead of Kate? Starts at end of Ep 24 at the little farewell party. Tried to follow canon for that much. Definitely M later . Very sorry, but on hold indefinitely due to RL.

My take on if Almost Famous had been shown before 3XK.

The end of an enjoyable evening goes even better than either of our duo plans. THIS IS SMUT. This is not the first smut I've written just the first I've posted anywhere but I want to make this plain. Grab a glass of water and whatever you want, enjoy

What if they had no choice but to confront each other? Post A Deadly Game, finale fix. No spoilers for season 3. Complete for now.

Part 10 - Despite the rocky beginning, it's always led to this. To them. Caskett smut.

Too much time listening to Lady Gaga on my drive home...this just would not leave me alone! Ok...chapters one through three are T, but starting with Chapter 4...its going M baby!

Rick acknowledges his feelings for Kate and confronts her about "The Kiss". They come to a mutually acceptable agreement. SMUT ensues. No plot, spoilers through "Overkill"

Things get hot in the observation room and Castle decides he wants to make Beckett scream. Pure smut.

I'd like to say this has a story line, but it's 100% smut. And not necessarily good smut, but I love reviews! Seriously. Take M rating seriously.
