Her dad takes her to the airport. He doesn't ask where Castle is and she doesn't offer. *Watershed post-ep*

Will Castle and Beckett's fight break them up or make them stronger?

The title kind of says it. Beckett gets drunk and Castle sees the interesting things that happen when she does. OOC and AU. UPDATED 5/22/13.

She's come here with the answer to the wrong question and she cannot take her eyes off of him, off of the ring he's holding out to her and she's stupidly looking through the center of it to the man behind, to the blue in his eyes. Post Epi Watershed prompt.

Castle's face displayed the grim determination of someone planning a funeral instead of the love and joy that should accompany the question

It's been two months. - spoilers for Still.

Kate's answer. "He looked so serious, kneeling before her, the lines of his face tight, eyes carefully guarded. She hurt him. She knew that and even still…He wanted to marry her." Spoilers for Watershed.

Castle kicks his shoes off and wanders over to her side of the bed, not sure if he's crazy or if something is off. Really, being him, it could be either. When he reaches her he finds her curled around their little Lucy, her graceful hand sweeping across the infant's head of soft down hair.

A/U It's definitely not love at first sight. Prickly, aloof and strait-laced Kate Beckett isn't what Rick expected when he hires someone to protect a young Alexis. She's all business while he's all about the play. Shallow, irresponsible and a playboy is how Beckett would characterize her latest employer. But sometimes first impressions can turn out to be wrong.

A post-ep (or during-ep if you like) for 4x17. What's going through Beckett's head as she curls her fingers around Castle's hand as they watch Martha's one-woman show? One-shot.

She lets the colour of the wings burn bright into her eyes before she eventually finds sleep. (Character death in Chapter 10) (Complete with alternate ending as an epilogue)

What happens when it's not Castle who falls in love with Beckett; it's Alexis

She looks at it, what it is, what it isn't. What it could have been. **post-ep for Watershed, contains spoilers**

Pourquoi vieillir !

'This is not love.'

"And then she fully comes back to herself and realizes that she is not only standing in the middle of a room for no apparent reason, but that she's been staring at the ring. With god only knows what kind of expression on her face. Based on the one on his, it probably doesn't look promising. At that moment, she has the strangest thought: it's like looking in a mirror."

Beckett faces the what-ifs of her shooting when Castle gets shot. Spoilers for Knockout, Rise, and Heat Rises. No character death.

"This place is my home!" She heard the words echo around interrogation as though it were a proclamation, a vow, an epiphany. First chapter is Kate's revelation, second chapter is Castle's. SPOILERS for Watershed.

This was inspired by the song "Just Give Me a Reason" by Pink/Nate Ruess. It takes place about a year after C/B started dating, but is not tied to the specifics of season five. In other words, it's a slight AU, forcing the ugly conversation they've needed to have for quite a while.

Just a quick little one shot post Watershed that explores one of the many outcomes possible. Now with a chapter two.

There were so many things he wanted to say to her but that wasn't a part of their relationship. So he wrote her letters instead, hid them away, never intending for her to read them. Until one day, Kate stumbled upon them by mistake. Complete.
