Because it's been six weeks, exactly five weeks and six days too long for her liking. Set during Valkyrie 6.01

Kate's answer to Castle's question at the end of season 5

"Don't, Castle," Kate cautioned him, sitting up and drawing her knees to her chest. "Don't tell me that it's okay. Don't try and make this better. If that training exercise had been real, I'd be dealing with a lot worse than a couple of bruises." ...Valkyrie missing moment- between his arrival and discussing that case file.

She just wants to come home. Except it's never that easy. The one case that has haunted her adult life comes back, making coming home a choice between her past and her future.

Spoilers for 6x01. M-rated insert for THAT scene, because how could I not? 'And then her hands are groping and traveling and roaming and something that sounds like Oh God escapes as a muffled moan against his lips, his hands setting her skin ablaze even through the layer of her clothing.' COMPLETE.

The events after Castle promised to create a scholarship in Johanna Beckett's name. Takes place at end of Lucky Stiff

A post-ep for Valkyrie. Spoilers abound.

A direct continuation of the final scene of 6x01 Valkyrie, therefore containing spoilers. One shot.

Beckett gets some bad news from McCord. Short one-shot insert set during 'Valkyrie' (6x01). Spoilers of course if you haven't seen it yet.

Suite de "L'oiseau blessé". Emma, 14 ans, est une adulte coincée dans le corps d'une adolescente torturée. Avec l'aide de sa meilleure amie, elle va tenter de se reconstruire en retournant dans cette ville où toutes ses blessures se sont faites, ignorant encore qu'un être cher n'est déjà plus de ce monde. Va s'ensuivre alors une chasse à l'homme... ou plutôt à l'enfant.

New-York, printemps 2011: Kate Beckett, lieutenant au NYPD, sombre dans l'inconscience, abattue d'une balle en pleine poitrine. Au même moment, Kate Beckett, substitut du procureur, ouvre les yeux après un de ses éternels cauchemars. L'Assassin est incarcéré, mais elle peine à reprendre le cours de sa vie. Jusqu'à ce qu'elle ait à inculper un certain Rick Rodgers... CHAPITRE 4!

One moment – A thousand words. A challenge to see if I could create a linking scene between each Season Five episode. One chapter a day until Season Six arrives.

That's when he sees her. Golden curls splay around her face like they do sometimes when he wakes up first and sees her head nestled in his pillow, but this is such a stark contrast to that scene. She's lying on the concrete, her arms and legs limp and bent at odd angles. She's not moving.

Life doesn't always offer second chances, but over the course of a blind date Kate Beckett discovers that hope sometimes really does spring eternal.

Because that's what happens when you try to run from the past. It doesn't just catch up: it overtakes, blotting out the future, the landscape, the very sky, until there is no path left except that which leads through it, the only one that can ever get you home. A season five finale fic. AU.

Esposito and Ryan are new partners and things aren't working out. Javier still misses his old partner and wants nothing to do with the new guy. But when they are caught up in a dangerous situation, can they shelve their differences to get out alive? One shot and my first Castle fic.

They stumble through her door, her lips frantic on his, her fingers gripped tightly around the back of his neck, cold against his skin. Post-ep for 5x24 'Watershed', doubling as an episode insert for 6x01, 'Valkyrie.'

'The tears were now silently making their way down her face and she hoped, unfortunately not for the first time, that she just wouldn't wake up in the morning.' Kate is struggling with depression after her mother has been murdered. Sometimes it helps her to write it all down in her notebook. That is until she loses it. Will she get it back? - College setting. AU.

Kate really had expected everything ranging from Castle breaking up with her - giving up on them (wasn't she going to?), over despairingly begging her to stay, to telling her he was going to come with her, that they would make it work. My take on a Watershed post-ep. Kind of. Update: New chapter is on now!

Castle and Beckett get the biggest surprise of their lives. One-Shot set in Season 6.

Just a little examination of Castle and Beckett's relationship against the background of the song "When You Look Me in the Eyes." AND OH MY GOSH GUYS THE PREMIERE IS TOMORROW! Can you tell I'm excited? :D As always, constructive feedback is much appreciated.

Era chegada a hora da vingança. De quem exatamente?

As Kate works diligently to recuperate from her latest illness, Rick immerses himself in planning their trip to Hong Kong. This trip will be a welcome respite from the trauma they have endured..they deserve romance and adventure in an exotic city. Its finished, as promised before the season 6 premiere. COMPLETE
