A Caskett first-meet story/A Castle Ficathon Winter 2021 entry: It's Kate Beckett's job to recognize connections and to bring people together because of them. It's a job she's successful at, one she loves. When it comes to connections in her own life, however, like the one she recognizes she has with stranger Rick Castle, things are a bit more complicated.

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...

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.

Before the holidays when a sculptor is found murdered in a repurposed warehouse, Castle and Beckett dive into the hidden secrets of the Hamptons art community. 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.

A series of non-interconnected one chapter stories. A few follow Cannon a little while most do not. Please. Please read and follow the warnings ahead of each story. A few are very long while others are more normal in length. As you can guess Demon's are the main topic. All are "M" rated. A few extremely so.

Sequel to Present Tense. Part 3 in the "Tense" Trilogy. Castle and Beckett continue to grapple with the fallout of their time-traveling.

"She's better off with me and I'm better off with her." In every universe, they're better off together. Caskett. A Collection of Alternate Universe Oneshots. Meeting AUs, Job AUs, Canon Divergent AUs, All the AUs - All Caskett. Castle Ficathon Winter 2021

Literary agent Paula Haas helps Richard Castle write a chapter on Derek Storm

Collection of non chronological one-shots expanding on the 'Five Little Monkeys' world. Cover art credit to Angie (@Dtrekker on Twitter) Rated T for minor language and sexual situations.

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. What happens when Rick and Kate meet? Tune in!

A collection of those one shots that's larger than 1k words each, mostly they'll be 2k or more. All shots will be about Castle and Beckett and the things/people surrounding them (but still with Caskett as the main). Also, the rating for the full collection is T, BUT there will be M-rated shots too and it will say so in the beginning of the shot if it is M-rated or not. Enjoy!

"Bullshit!" Tulsa Bill yelled when he saw Carl, the referee, declare Handsome Rick the winner. "What ya say we do it for real Castle," he then challenged. Disclaimer: Nope, don't own them, sorry.

We all remember the classic scene in the hospital after Kate was shot where she sends Castle away with the promise to call him. What if she actually did? An AU one shot story where Kate actually calls Rick.

It's still dark outside when an exhausted Caskett arrive at work. It's the earliest they've been called to a murder scene, since Lily was born...

Kate had never planned to see him again but now, she would have to see him. She had to see Castle, for the first time in weeks, and talk to him. Oh shit. Starting in the summer before S2 and then going AU from there.

Castle seems to be facing rough edges in his life. All changes when he rescues a woman from two men trying to attack her. Castle realizes the woman has also had a rough life and decides to get to know her better. Rated for language and a brief violence involving a sexual assault.

A series of one shots dealing with what ifs from Castle. AU's for points in the show. Marked complete as all chapters can stand alone, but it will still be getting updates.

After the assassination of Senator Bracken and conclusion of the Loksat conspiracy, Kate Beckett has been able to live a happy life with her family and put much of her past behind her. But is it really? [Future Fic] [additional characters: Lily C., Jake C., Reece C.]

The Kidnapping of Bob Armen: Roy Montgomery's Fatal Mistake. How the Fall Began.

Detective Beckett's Prophetic Dream. Long before Castle.

There comes a time in every person's life when they come to a fork in the road, and must choose which path to travel. But they never know where the choice will take them. So what happens when Alexis faces the fork much earlier than expected? Will she choose a path that makes sense? Or one full of all sorts of twists and turns? Only fate will tell.

It was a wild and crazy Saturday for the Castle household. It all started early in the morning when Kate received a 5:00 a.m. call telling her the Chief of Detectives was requesting that she go directly to a crime scene, and it continues. Castle and its characters are the property of ABC and Andrew Marlowe, all others are from my imagination. This is a 1-shot for my #Emma&EliVerse

My Next Broken Heart Authors Note: This is Totally AU; Beckett and Castle have moved past her MIA time, and are working toward a relationship. Ryan's Wedding is an opportune time to display their progress, Or is it? NOTE Dates have been adjusted to make this story possible. This story is full of angst, some chapters will be rough, you've been warned SEE A/N at beginning of Chapter
