Whatever has been keeping her composure intact shatters the minute he opens the door. Post-ep for 3x03 Under The Gun, so spoilers for that episode.

50 One sentence themes of Esposito and Ryan. Examples: Fantasy, Horror, March, Sore, Chocolate... M for Slash

Post-ep fic for 3x03. Mostly angst with a little fluff for good measure. One-shot.

Post "Under the Gun." Kate tries to reconcile her feelings for Royce.

There was one of her flippin' the bird, sittin' on a harley... -Post Under the Gun.

Digging for buried treasure was harder than it seemed.

A former partner for Narcotics is blackmailing Ryan and he has to decide between helping solve a case & saving his girlfriend's life. Ryan/Jenny was entitled "Between Love & the Badge" but I hated that title

Beckett is struggling with her feelings after Castle returns from his summer trip. Doesn't tie in to any particular episode, just something that crossed my mind recently.

Sequal to Independance Day! If you haven't read that...then this will really not make much sense! Caskett, of course. :D

It is never fun to be the "butt" of a joke...

What if Castle and Beckett have met before? Post in the first episode from the first season! What happened back then? Will they talk about it? Will they start over?

It was easy to say that you wanted to believe in magic. It was easy for Castle to say he believed in psychics. She couldn't do that anymore. Post-ep to 3.02.

During and after 'A Deadly Game', Ryan and Esposito discuss Castle and Beckett's relationship... or, more accurately, their lack of relationship.

All it takes to remind Beckett

What if Beckett told Castle about Penny's dream at the end of 03x02? For those who read this, i just corrected some errors. And I wanted to thank all the people who corrected me.

Castle won't give Kate up without a fight. One-shot.

Kind of like a sister piece to Of Wind and Cinnamon. But about Winter.

Just a little story about the Fall.

Kevin Ryan has terrible dress sense. Javier Esposito gets used to it and a few other things along the way . Ryan/Esposito slash, including appearances from Lanie and Beckett.

In the middle of a straining part in their budding relationship, Kate Beckett and Rick Castle get caught up in something bigger. They call him The Shadow Seeker and his art gets pretty wicked when it has dead bodies in the mix. Can they stop him?

Castle is running late... JW's are at the door, he thinks that's the worst he has to see that day... wait until he gets to work! Kate's on the war path... and of course they'll be some C&B love :

What if Castle didn't go home in 03x01 when Beckett told him to? What if he ran after her?

Same story hopefully better formatting. Fill-in-the-blank between the end of last season and the beginning of this one. Color me...disturbed by the lack of follow-through. Shame on you, show writers. ;

Inspired by 3x02 , Rick finds his soul mate and realizes just how much she means to him. Epilogue up now !

My take on what might have happened at the end of 218 "Boom," if Castle hadn't missed. Rated M for Gore.
