She was the guardian of the dead, and she never once took that placement as ominous or forbidding. It was a job worth doing, and she had drawn a sense of pride in it.

Possible scenario for Probable Cause. Started as an inteorragation scene but has morphed into more. Includes possible spoilers for 5x05. "Beckett, you know me." "Do I?" Is this about murder or trust.

Pre-ep reaction to the promo and sneak peek 1 for 5x05 Probable Cause. One shot. MAJOR SPOILERS! "Beckett… you know he didn't do this, right?"

A short scene based on spoilers for 5x05. While it is Beckett and Gates, it is Casket all the way!

Kate notices how Rick is looking at Serena, and jealousy is not the only thing she feels… Rewrite of "Eye of the Beholder", how it could have been if Caskett were already established. Very smutty.

"It's meant to be a warning," Kate said quietly. "Dangerous rocks ahead." Post 'Murder, He Wrote' and foreshadowing for 5x05.

A spoiler-free scene that (I think/I imagine) could take place in 5x05. Kate visits Rick in holding.

"His hands came to rest on her waist in what had become a familiar gesture. What had become, she realized, a gesture that felt comforting, safe, and like home. And in that moment, there was not a force that existed that could stop the words." (One-shot spec for 5x05, no spoilers beyond the promo)
