He stood before her, a beautifully understated diamond ring pinched between his fingers.

Life is like a song, and all the songs make sense. "Five years ago..." He says softly, "I didn't know you."

Post-Hunt follow-up to 'Cloudy Days & Silver Linings'. Mild spoilers for 5x16. '"Your father?" repeats Kate, dumbly, her eyes flicking back to the tall, white-haired stranger loitering by the aircraft steps. "I know. Crazy, right?" says Castle, squeezing her hand and trying to draw her closer to the Gulfstream.' COMPLETE

It's not Castle. Since Castle is standing behind me would be the most logical reason. I take another step forward, feeling the eyes of all three of them on me slowly cataloging the minute differences. His hair is a little darker, and skin a little paler. He's a bit taller than Castle bit leaner, a thinner structure over all. The eyes aren't brilliant blue.

To win a date with Richard Castle tell us in a 100 words or less tell us why you want to meet this award-winning author? It was a silly competition that Beckett didn't need to enter,yet why was she staring at the entry form only minutes before the competition closed? Set mid Season 4

you're lying if you say you don't love her. but her - who is she? that's the problem.

No spoilers if you've seen 'Target' and the promo for 'Hunt'. My overactive imagination took over from there and this is what resulted. Three chapters, beginning where 'Target' left off and last one will be posted before Castleday...er, I mean Monday ;)

Seconds, snapshots, thoughts and conversations. Speculation on Hunt. WARNING mild spoilers. Also this switches points of view and is supposed to feel jagged and uncomfortable.

Tout petit OS qui pourrait se situer dans la saison 4! Caskett comme toujours! :D "Quand la chaleur fait apparaître les souffrances au grand jour…"

The third installment of my dreams series.This one follows Rick and Kate they continue to grow into their new relationship and looks at how they cope with all that life throw's at them. Can be read without reading the first two installment but will be more enjoyable it you do (or so I do say so myself) ENJOY!

Et si une chanson pouvait tout changer.

Post-Hunt, one-shot. "Oh, darling, look. They're here," says Martha excitedly, clinging onto Kate's hand, her eyes gleaming brightly with teetering, unshed tears. The feel of the older woman's warm, dry grip around hers is oddly comforting; an anchor keeping Kate here when she still has the occasional, heart fluttering urge to flee." COMPLETE

Set near the end of S2, Castle has a confrontation with Demming before leaving the 12th. After some confusion and investigation, the team learns that there is much more to Castle than meets the eye, and that it somehow relates to their current case.

Episode insert-ish set between the end of 4x23 'Always' and 5x01 'After the Storm'. Conversations held between Rick and Kate. Oneshot.

Beckett is 8 months pregnant with Castle's baby. The duo and Esposito and Ryan go to investigate a crime scene and get a little more than they bargained for.

"This same fragment of metal that tore her apart is now doing the same to him." Set directly after events of 3x24. Rated T for safety (peppering of very mild language). First time fanfic writer here, been a lurking reader for a long time now, thought I'd give it a try. Let me know what you think, I'm old enough to know all reviews won't be candy-coated.

A post-5x16 musing. "A vivid smudge of Dior's Ara Red lipstick marks the starched white linen like a bloodstain, and Castle stares at the spot before looking up at her face. Her mouth looks ripe, full, and slightly swollen, his kisses in the car on the way to dinner too urgent, too needy for where they were headed and why." COMPLETE

A three shot based on the pics and promo for 5x16 "Hunt". Spoilers for 5x15 and 5x16.

Dix ans après. Beckett est désormais Capitaine, et elle est appelée à sa grande surprise sur une scène de crime. Qui la détruit. C'est fini Kate... C'est fini. Mais le phœnix, lui, parvint bien à renaître de ses cendres... OS

Castle et Beckett ont le chic pour se retrouver dans des situations dont personne ne voudrait, comme nous avons déjà pu le constater à de multiples reprises. Et en fin de compte, ils arrivent toujours à s'en sortir, alors... Oui, mais il y a une fin à tout. Et qui souffre le plus ? Celui qui part, ou celui qui reste ? Âmes sensibles s'abstenir (après, j'dis ça, j'dis rien... ;))

New York regorge de surprises, c'est bien connu. Et, aussi, de bombes, parfois. Pour la deuxième fois, Kate et Richard se sont retrouvés face à face avec un appareil explosif menaçant, comme son nom l'indique, d'exploser. Comme la dernière fois, tout est bien qui finit bien... Vraiment ? OS

Pourquoi est-ce que Kate prend-elle des vacances au beau milieu d'un enquête ? Qui est cette nouvelle amie d'Alexis ? C'est quand la jeune fille de passage à New York disparait que des gros secrets remontent à la surface. Se pourrait-il que... ?

Il suffit de pas grand chose, quand on y pense. Une route verglacée, un peu d'alcool. Des freins qui lâchent. Et aussitôt, tout est bouleversé.

Plus d'un an que Kate Beckett est morte. Et ça fait toujours mal. Et pourtant, une nuit, quinze mois plus tard, Richard Castle reçoit un appel qui va bouleverser sa vie. Car l'image de l'ID appelant... c'est celle de Kate.

He hates that this woman, this maddening woman, who hurt him so deeply, so seemingly irrevocably, can still undo him effortlessly. He hates her for it. He hates himself for it. Takes place during The Limey.
