"She's irritated they got stuck in this storm, irritated that this is the only room available and she has to share it with Castle—who's only slightly less annoying than she'd anticipated, but give it time and she's sure she'll be proved wrong—and irritated that the only thing to do here involves the elderly and a surprising array of badly played instruments." Bed sharing fill.

They were always caught between the what if and the almost.

Eight years ago, Javier Esposito's first partner found about 'Javi and the guys'. In the end, Javier got his dreamguy in his second partner. Time for another round at that bar from eight years ago. Kevin Ryan/Javier Esposito. And yes, it's slash. I put M, just to be sure.

Based on prompt "Are you really asking for my number?" 4x11. They actually talk about it later and realize that they both have high numbers and laugh about it. Compare most awkward/funny/weird encounters. No sexuality shame for Beckett. No Beckett using sex to deal with demons."

AU Ending for 8x03 PhDead. Kate pays a visit to Rick.

Castle leaves with Gina, but is all as it seems? Season 2 finale AU. Caskett. ONE-SHOT. Based off a tumblr prompt.

This is a Halloween one-shot based off my story "Living with Aunt Kate". Emily's school is throwing a Halloween party and costume contest, and she has the perfect idea for her and aunt Kate's costume. Will they win, is there a ghost in the school, and does Emily have her first crush?

"I was thinking, we should start a new tradition," he muses, flipping open one of the cardboard flaps. "For every time we save each other's life. You know, since it's becoming quite a habit for us." Inspired by events from 8x03, PhDead.

A/U Kate Becket and Rick Castle meet and marry and experience a few of life's problems

This is a one shot insert between 623 and 701. It tells what happened while Castle was gone, how he got shot, why and how his memory was really wiped, where the tent came from, and how he ended up in the boat. It incorporates elements from elements from Sleeper and XX. Of course I own nothing.

Castle is angry and in shock at the end of 8x02. How does he react to the bombshell Kate just dropped on him? He's just sick to death of this thing called love. First person pov.

High School AU: Javier Esposito, star of the high school baseball team, doesn't let anyone wear his letterman jacket. He even told Lanie no when she asked after a year of dating. So why does his best friend, Kevin Ryan, come in to school wearing it to school one day?

8x02 Inspirada en una escena. Digamos que quedé un poco contrariada con los últimos episodios y me faltó algo, cuando estas a punto de perder a lo que mas te importa en la vida tienes que hacer algo. Denle una oportunidad.

INEVITABLE (ADJ.): que no se puede evitar o eludir. (Lo mejor de una historia es no saber lo que va a pasar.)

INEVITABLE (adj.): that which is unavoidable. (The best part of a story is not knowing what's going to happen.)

Jim Beckett and his grandson get ready to watch the New York Mets play a playoff game. In honor of the Mets being in the playoffs for the first time in 9 years. Let's Go Mets! I don't own Castle, I only wish I did.

My musings after 8x02

Can be seen as stand alone or a prequel to 'Please forgive me' coming soon. My first Castle fic. One-shot Ryan-centric. Set in the last half ish of 4x23 'Always'. Ryan's thoughts. Review please. T to be safe. No slash just good ole Rysposito bromance.

'No matter what she chooses, she'll lose either way, but she still chooses him.' With a new serial killer on the loose, the team must race against the clock to bring him down. But circumstances of the case threaten to tear Castle and Beckett apart. A co-authored story by bravevulnerability and Oliviet.

Kate was tempted to come up with a reason to call him, fabricate some excuse about why they needed to hire a PI. She knew he'd come immediately, fall over himself trying to win her back, get her to love him again. Set around 8x08, no spoilers known. COMPLETE.

Ryan and Esposito pick up Castle from the loft, only to get more than what they bargained for. A little idea I had while watching some older episodes.

Small interaction between a mother and her heartbroken son.

An insert into 7x06 ' The Time of Our Lives'. This is an AU of an AU! (An AU squared?) Instead of storming off, Captain Beckett challenges Castle to show her what 'his universe' is all about. She should have known better. Will start off as a K due to language, but may shift in the future.

There are certain things in life which a person can't plan for, doesn't expect. Written for prompt "Kate found out she was pregnant after 8x02"

Oneshot! Historia situada a finales de la segunda temporada. Kate terminó su relación con Demming pero cree que ya es tarde para aceptar la invitación de Rick a los Hamptons...
