It's maybe past time to conquer your fears. Or is it too late? Has someone else conquered? What kind of life can you have now? Only what you make of it if you have the courage.

This is a collection of stories in which I take each episode from Season 8 and change something - hopefully for the better. So they may diverge quite a bit from canon.

A Christmas story, in which Castle and Becket from Silver and Gold (canon compliant) are experiencing the Christmas season of 2021. (It might be helpful to have read Silver and Gold, but it's not necessary.)

Rick Castle has six weeks to deliver a blockbuster manuscript or lose his book publisher. Fresh off a divorce and lacking both inspiration and Christmas cheer, he agrees to spend the holiday away from the city. Evergreen, Vermont, and its police chief, however, were not part of the plan...

No one can ever predict how his life will change. Turns out, you just have to go to driving school to do it. Kate Beckett is a first-year student, Rick Castle is a single father, a novice writer, yet little known to the general public. All descriptions, coincidences, characters are fictional, coincidences are coincidental.

As a sequel to the "Strange meeting" fic. I guess that's what it was all about.

Late out clubbing trying to forget the one-year anniversary of her mother's murder. She met a man who is out trying to forget his divorce that was finalized that day. They hookup for one night, but that night will impact the course of their lives.

Interstellar travel is perfectly safe. Nothing can possibly go wrong. Never the less, a ruggedly handsome mercenary soldier, a stunning chestnut haired ship's engineer and several others are in a damaged lifeboat headed for a planet no sensible tourist would go to.

This is Totally AU; Beckett has moved to DC for the job, the talk on the swings was cordial, although heartbreaking. Each has decided it's best (for the other) to part ways. Then fate intervenes. Set at end of Season 5, Taking Literary License to fill in the blanks. I don't own Castle; I use the characters for amusement purposes only, except the ones I create.

A Season 7 AU. Rick and Kate are happily married but someone is targeting Beckett's former lovers... including her current one, her husband.

They hurry to solve the case before more bodies are found and harm strikes close to home. Thirty-ninth in the Beware Of Darkness series. Caskett pairing.

Coffee is their thing. It's greeting, peace offering, unspoken promise to always be there. Coffee has helped to tear down her walls. A late night conversation adds a new layer to their coffee story. Kate hopes she can use what she's learned to help tear down the walls between them. An AU beginning in late S4. Not a winter fic, but my entry for the Castle Ficathon Winter 2021.

A busy morning 5x01.

Precanon. About something that hasn't happened a million times and isn't likely to happen anymore.)) However, the sequel follows...

Richard Rogers has the ability to see what his future holds. At first, he thinks it's a curse but his mother keeps him performing to keep them eating. It's a lonely life but he is determined to become something more. Kate Beckett only believes in what she can see, touch, hear and smell. It is what makes her so good at her job.
