He'd tried and failed yet again to ask her out.

Kate is pregnant, hormonal and apparently nesting. She and Castle decide to play the Name Game with... interesting results.

"If she wakes up and he's carrying her, there's a one hundred percent chance she'll shoot him. Even if she doesn't have her gun on her. The pure disdain she'll have radiating from her body will propel her gun up for her and shoot him on its own." A fluffy post ep for 2x18.

Before there was ever Castle and Beckett or Gina or Alexis or Meredith or even Kyra, there was Richard and Martha.

Senator or Captain? Castle reminds Kate that whatever she decides, he will back her play. And she reminds him that it's not only about her. They are partners, always and decisions should be made together.

All he wanted was to be able to make her smile again..

They had been arguing for what seemed like hours, then out of the corner of her eye she saw her mug sitting on the table from earlier that e picked it up, turning ready to throw it at him.

Beckett shows her daughter exactly what it means to be beautiful.

An Apologize Extended Deleted Scene: Johanna had lost track of the days and now her husband's birthday was mere hours away and she was without a gift or a plan for how to make the occasion special. Maybe Kate would be right and it wouldn't matter to Jim…but it mattered to her and she refused to accept defeat without at least trying to make his birthday special.

After he comes close to dying again, she decides she doesn't want to wait anymore. She's afraid of what morning will bring, but the night is long...

She walked past him wearing the shortest pair of boy shorts known to man...

Kate Beckett Castle reflects on her family. Future fluffy story. As always, I don't own Castle, I just wish I did.

Takes place in S7's altReality. Castle and Beckett's lives were rooted together since the beginning. But how does the couple fare when their lifetime of "always" gets twisted into a series of "almosts"? And how are they supposed to fight an enemy that knows the future? A story of how they were torn apart in order to get back together.

Episode insert for 7x23 Hollanders Woods. Just how did Castle's bowtie come undone at the party? One Shot.

It's silent, the tension thick and palpable, the words sinking in for both of them. She's staring at him, having no idea what just happened. She's silently praying he'll stop her from walking out the door, walking out of his life.

What happens when they get to cheat, and read the last page first? Set immediately after 'Flowers for Your Grave'

Castle steals a police horse. The arresting officer is none other than Kate Beckett. "You got yourself up there and now you're going to get back down. I want you to concentrate. Carefully lift your leg over its flank, then slide to the ground. Preferably without breaking anything. Or losing that blanket. No one wants to see your bare ass swaying in the moonlight. Least of all me."

Based on a prompt: the first time Kate notices her bump she finds one on her breast as well. *warning: character death*

AU Cosmo's parents are murdered before Beckett and Castle can find them and the killer. They decide to keep the baby. Castle Hiatus Ficathon

Castle Summer Hiatus 2015 Ficathon Entry. Castle's first time at the Becketts' cabin, summer after season four.

Set mid-Season 3. Castle drops life altering news on Beckett. How will this news affect their relationship? Angst. Lots of it. Rated T for language and adult themes. COMPLETE.

He hated it, Beckett making goo-goo eyes at Demming. He hated the fact that they even were a 'thing' at all. He knew he had to show Beckett that they could be something special and that she was with the wrong man. He needed to do it soon.

Actions have consequences. A simple misunderstanding leads to a chain of events that neither Kate nor Rick would have ever imagined in their worst nightmares... and happiness quickly turns to desperation ...their marriage will be put to the test... very much Angst / Drama, but with an unexpected ending. Give it a shot! Set in mid-season 7 NOW COMPLETE

A collection of M! oneshots.

A one shot take on the final scene of 3x24 'Knockout'. I've added a few little moments that I thought were fitting, but everything else is as shown in the original episode, including the dialogue. As always, credit for the characters and the story goes to Andrew Marlowe and Terri Edda Miller, and 'Castle' belongs to ABC. Unfortunately. Thank you for reading!
