It was supposed to be always; they were supposed to have their happy ending, their fairytale. Not this. Post 6x23.

AU: When Kate walked into the coffee shop before work, she had no idea she was going to run into her favorite author, literally. A story of how two people fall in love after a chance meeting. Kate is in her second year as a homicide detective and is 28 and Rick is 35. I know i'm off on the ages but its how it worked into my story. Please review. Rated T to be safe.

An angsty post-ep for 'For Better Or Worse' (6x23) that explores one possible scenario for what might have happened to Castle. Description of torture, if that sort of thing bothers you. Somewhat uplifting ending.

Post 6x23 fic. Oneshot. Moments after that heartbreaking cliffhanger.

How had it all become so complicated? Six years ago his biggest worry was dealing with Gina's wrath for not meeting her next deadline. Six years ago he'd never had cause to fear for his own life, or the life of his loved ones. A post-finale fic to tide us over until September.

So there are probably tens of thousands of post-finale fics, but seriously WTF! This is my contribution, with a special appearance by a certain Intelligence Asset.

A 6.23 post-ep. Waves of heat fan Kate's face as she stares down the embankment at her fiance's car, heat she can barely feel as her eyes fixate on the flames engulfing the once beautiful Mercedes. The people and the sounds around her become nonexistent as her entire world narrows to a bleak pinpoint.

Post For better or worse fic. If there were 5 more minutes to the ep . Just a crazy, silly ridiculous, unrealistic crack fic. It isn't meant to be any more than that.

"[...] what if we didn't have those last six years..." Castle/Beckett AU (VERY) rating likely to change.

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

Going forward on last nights episode 'In the Belly of the Beast'. CSU finds the house they kept Beckett in along with her blood and the letter she left behind. Rick is able to read it and realizes she is in something way over her head. And doesn't know if she is still alive. Kate is left for dead in the woods.

AU Post-Valkyrie (S6/E01,6x01) Kate is willing to fight with all she's got to give to save the possibility of a future for her and Castle *Fluff and family-bonding all the way*

"This is the start of something beautiful, this is the start of something new. You are the one who'd make me lose it all, you are the start of something new." More Ed Sheeran inspired fic. Kate is with Josh, but somewhere during the night with him, she realizes, she' not where she's supposed to be, or who she's supposed to be with.-COMPLETE

Castle's just getting back from his six week long book tour and he's just itching to see them.

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.

So not everything is as what it usually is. As the title says its switched! Castle and Beckett's lives are oddly different but oddly close to home! Have you ever wanted to read a story where Rick is the cop and Kate is the writer?

Watershed AU where Castle lets Beckett speak first. Beckett's come to a decision, and the impact it has on their relationship is something she never imagined.

"I'm fine!" She cut him off before he could finish his sentence. She turned around, suddenly feeling lightheaded, gripping the island for support. Her knees trembled and every muscle in her face was contorting in a way that was so not Kate Beckett. It was in that moment, that she lost all ability to be fine.

Just a bunch of prompts turned to ficlets. Any ratings :) Rated M because that's already in a prompt. :)

"I got shot in the chest, and I remember every second of it." She had lied. After everything they'd been through, after everything he'd done for her, and she lied? He couldn't believe it. He watched her die, and she didn't even have the guts to tell him that she remembered? What did that mean for them? What did that mean for their relationship? One Shot -Season 4- (Endgame-Caskett)

"Ca-Castle! You two slept together?" Ryan practically screamed in shock. Everybody around them turned around and looked at them. "Great. Thank you Ryan," Kate groaned and went back to Lanie. Castle wanted to follow her, but Esposito grabbed his arm. - What will happen when everybody starts finding out about them?

So what would happen if Castle had been injured before Caskett became a couple? Castle is in a coma and Kate is with her partner.

Written for the 2013 Kink Meme, specifically for the prompt: "Castle catches Beckett masturbating. Author's choice is he joins, eats her out, and/or they have sex". The prompt asked for season one, but this...isn't. I hope you'll forgive me that little deviation.

"If it's so adorable, why won't you sleep with me?" An AU episode insert for 03x11. For Meg, because her tags inspired it.

I have hope...you and I collide. Pieces of colored glass – worthless, meaningless pieces – spin around to form beautiful designs. People are pieces, and sometimes they combine, too.

Post 6x09. Contains mild spoilers with a mild twist. Chapter 7 is rated T for mild abuse.

What was going to be a one shot is now a series of one shots. Mostly fluffy with the occasional dramatic/angst/hurt. Reviews are always appreciated! Chapter 12 is up! Baby names!

This is my take on the beginning of season 6. This takes place right after Watershed ends.

It had been three days since he had last seen her smile, three days since he had last heard her laugh. Most importantly, it had been three days since he had told her 'I love you', but now, where is she?

The bank explodes and so do the emotions inside Beckett. She enters the building with only one thing in her mind - Castle. She finds him alive. Will she be able to hold back her emotions? Slightly AU take on Cops & Robbers - Note the rating change. Complete.

Don't wait. Don't think. Just... jump. Making mistakes is what we live for, they help us grow, they're confirmation of the freedom that every soul needs. But are some mistakes just too big to fix? When the dominoes start falling, Kate will have to wonder if it was really worth it - and if Rick is worth it, especially when there is so much more at stake.

This story is A/U when Kate met Rick they shared one night together. When he wakes up she's gone. She'd told him her name was Nikki Heat. They meet four years later. This is what happens next. In this story Rick has never married. He never had Alexis. We still have Martha and the boys.

He squeezed his eyes shut realizing he said that last part out loud. "Kate. You can make it out to Kate." "

"She's falling down the rabbit hole of her obsession, but completely unable to stop." Her mother's case haunts Beckett's sleep and the only thing stopping her nightmares is being with Castle. Season Two, post the almost kiss in Vampire Weekend. NOW COMPLETE.

When Kate and Rick get trapped in the elevator, and Kate spills a deep dark secret, will Castle really be able to let it go or will it tear them apart? And if things do sort themselves out, what impact will events have on their relationship when Kate gets a new partner? Rated T for later, and possibly M, haven't decided yet.

To celebrate Rick's birthday, Kate, Lanie, Ryan, Jenny and Esposito are invited to spend the weekend at Castle's manor, in the Hamptons.

But he'd hoped - He hoped she'd wake him if she needed him." Two-shot. COMPLETE.
