"He had a split second of absolute fear that she was going to kill him for invading her personal space, but then he realized he was still on his side of the bed." Castle and Beckett have trouble getting warm, even after getting out of the freezer.

Spoilers for Setup/Countdown. In those final sixteen seconds, they saw the unspoken truth in each other's eyes. Now that they have been given a second chance, will Castle and Beckett finally find the courage to admit their feelings? Complete.

After a childhood that left him confused and skeptic, Richard Castle finally believes. One-shot.

After it was all said and done she was just grateful that he was still there with her, that she hadn't lost him. One-shot.

She was never actually Nikki Heat and he was never Jameson Rook. But sometimes it sure feels like they were despite the fact that Josh is the one in her bed.

Castle missed his chance once again as Josh walked up behind Beckett. He gave her a forced smile as he turned around, not daring to turn back as he heard her disappointed "Goodbye". One-shot! Request!

He brings her close; close enough to feel each thump of her heart against his own chest and brushes the hair out of her eyes. He opens his mouth to say her name; to feel it on his tongue, but she closes her hand over top of it before he gets the chance.

Kate Beckett and Richard Castle. Richard Castle, and Kate Beckett. No matter how either of them had looked at it, it was love. It had been love. It always will be love.

Just a one-shot of what I would have liked to have happened after Countdown. Watching Castle walk away, will Beckett finally admit to herself what she had been denying for so long? Have the past twenty-four hours awaken something within her?

What they have is merely a shadow of what could be, it has always been that way. Both of them are to blame. He has always been too careful with her, and she has always been too reserved with him. AU with mild spoilers for 3x12.

A story about a watch. Post ep/filler for Boom

She likes to think that eventually, even without Richard Castle, she would have come to the same conclusions.

What she could never say to Castle, she has no problem saying to Josh. And that has to mean something.

Rick Castle has just left the 12th precinct, headed to the Hamptons for the summer with his ex-wife Gina, leaving Kate Beckett to pick up the pieces of her broken heart. This was meant as a one-shot, but I was inspired to continue with more chapters.

Did anyone else see Beckett look down at Castle's lips in 3x09 after they woke up in the car? This is what could've happened... Beckett/Castle

Post 3x17. No matter how much they deny it, their connection only grows stronger with each passing day.

Castle and Beckett are trapped in a storage freezer with only a few hours to live. Beckett has an interesting idea that may keep them warm, but will it be enough?

Castle believes in thorough research; Beckett isn't cooperating. He knows it's silly, but it's just another piece of the Beckett puzzle. When it finally falls into place, luck happens to take over and leads them in an unexpected direction.

Beckett gets an unwanted "house guest" and asks for Castle's help in getting rid of her new furry friend. Just a one-shot that actually turned out to be pretty funny!

After his many near-death experiences during Setup/Countdown, Castle has decided it's time to turn in his "WRITER" vest. Does this mean he is out of Beckett's life for good?

"We really should have a code word so we all know which Beckett to kill when her clone army attacks."

I have channeled my angst of weeks w/out a new CASTLE into this offering; I work as an M.E. and Castle is my escape into the romance that I never see in my job. Rick and all of the detectives Beckett, Ryan and Esposito with supporting cast.

Castle returns to his loft after the terrorist plot has been foiled, and while he is initially happy to be alive, the magnitude of the past few days' events eventually overwhelm him. A one-shot that takes place after "Countdown."

Just a little ficlet that begins midway through the second season episode, "Boom!" and goes AU after that. Castle/Beckett - friendship/comfort/hints of more.

"Why do you keep coming back, Rick?" - Castle finds the answer to Beckett's question. But is it too late? Castle/Beckett, angst/romance. Spoilers for "Knockout".
