Kate Beckett or, as you might know her, Nikki Heat has been in the business since she was sixteen years old. And everything was fine, or at least so she thought it was, until she met him. He wasn't like the others, he didn't understand it was a job. Because it WAS. A. JOB. It was HER job. Her job to satisfy his, and others', needs. But what does one do when the job turns into more?

Rick is the class clown, always has been. His life has been difficult. He didn't blame his mother, she had been kind and even put up with his behavior even if she didn't approve. He was about to meet someone who was going to change all that. He was going to change. FOR HER! - Complete

The third tale in 'The Wonder' AU, this story picks up four months after the conclusion of 'Hunt the Hunter', rejoining Kate Beckett, circa Season 6. Estranged from Richard Castle, the former detective/federal agent is on a different path that ultimately will bring her full circle with the writer.

A new Christmas advent/ure. The idea is that each AU gets a chance to tell its Christmas story. I'll mark the chapter with the AU in which it is appearing so that you'll know what universe we're in, and if the story requires more than one chapter, then it will be labeled: Ultimatum - Chapter 1, Ultimatum - Final Chapter, etc. A new chapter every day of December thru Xmas Day.

A series of Christmas themed one shots, each a glimpse into a minimum of ten previously written stories.

A Castle Advent Calendar fic! Each chapter will be a Christmas song inspired one-shot and provide a glimpse into Castle and Beckett's future holiday seasons. All will be set post season 8 and not in any chronological order.

Can The Christmas Guy convince the firm's new partner that putting up Christmas decorations is, in fact, not the end of the world?

"Someday you're going to find that your way of facing this realistic world just doesn't work. And when you do, don't overlook those lovely intangibles. You'll discover those are the only things that are worthwhile." An AU story set after the events of 2x24, 'A Deadly Game', for Christmas.

Traveling home for the holidays comes with more complications than Kate Beckett is prepared for; particularly after she runs into a famous mystery writer. A Caskett Pre-Show AU holiday tale. For the CastleFicathonWinter2017

This special one shot Christmas short story. Beckett is worried with her husband coming in from a California three day book tour. It's snowing very heavy with Castle coming in on a flight.

Lily ha tre anni ed è Natale, the most wonderful time of the year

This is my own version of the original poem 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, and I hope you like it.

Kate Beckett just finished her first day as Captain of the Twelfth Precinct. Yet she didn't want to go home to an empty apartment. Her life was a lonely one. And she felt like celebrating this milestone in her career with the NYPD. But the last thing she expected was to run into Richard Castle. Caskett. Set in an alternate Season 8. Rated T. COMPLETE. For CastleFicathonWinter2017.

Goes off canon after 8x02. When Rick lands in the hospital after a traffic accident, he reminds Kate that anything can happen. "The best way to keep me safe, Kate, is to keep me close. Back to back, watching each other's six." Even while they're watching, they're racing to solve the puzzle of LokSat and Rick's lost summer.

Lanie does Christmas like it's going out of fashion (oh, if only!) and invariably, and as inevitably as death and taxes, hauls Beckett along behind her, kicking, screaming and threatening. Beckett does not do Christmas. Ever. She does not do festivity. Castle, on the other hand, does. But not quite like Lanie. Not at all like Lanie, in fact.

Kate Beckett wakes in a world where nothing is as she knows it to be. A season 4, AU story. NOW COMPLETE.

In which Lily Castle sees something she shouldn't. Oops! A bit of utterly silly Christmas fluff.

Borrowing a prompt from Chezchucles. A series of short vignettes of the first Christmases from my various AU stories. Starting with Agent Rodgers.

Castle and Beckett go on their date and things don't end up going quite as planned. A one-shot sequel to "Because You Were Gone."

This story is set for when they encounter each other during College. Are they still destined to be together. Only problem is, is that Rick has a secret. A very important one. One that he will soon find out could mean life and death. But not just for him. - now Complete

Castle wants to surprise Kate but she is a bit suspicious of his intentions. One funny shot.

Ever since she lifted the phone to her ear this morning and he said 'tell me you need me,' she's been acutely aware of just how badly she does need him. Alternate ending for 4x07. One shot.

There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe... Caskett vs toasters. Based very loosely upon the original 1978 TV movie by Glenn A. Larsen. My offering for the CastleFicPromoter Halloween Bash. Cover Art by Lord of Kavaka and Beta read by Cofkett.

It took her a daunting thirty-storey drop to realize she needed him, a torrential downpour to realize she wanted him, and a relentless ache to realize she just couldn't take it anymore.
