It's hard when everything you thought you knew turns out to be a lie. One Shot.

Kate Beckett is a newly elected senator when she finds out she is pregnant with her and Castle's first child. Kinda fluffy one shot, but there is some serious parts. This is my ending to the show, the one we all deserved.

She wakes and seeks comfort in the only place she knows. Set 2x18 Boom.

A conversation that probably won't happen.

What if Rick and Kate were married before their first case and kept it a secret? Follows canon plot from 1x01 but obviously AU.

"This is our life, not just mine anymore, and I'm happy about that," she promises him, smoothing over old wounds and doubts with soft words, nipping on his bottom lip when he leans in to kiss her again. "Besides, you on the bike is extremely hot." Castle and Beckett take that cross-country trip. Post-ep for 8x18, 'Backstabber'.

College AU. "She only needed to turn her head and watch his eyes claim every bit of sunlight within them. He radiated passion and transparence as much as he emitted anger and turbulence. She didn't warn him when she brought her lips to his, didn't hold his hand or touched his face. She simply leaned forward and claimed him." OASN: Blind character

Continued series from Hearing The Christmas Bells and The Bells Are Ringing once again.

After ABC's news that Stana Katic and Tamala Jones aren't coming bad, I needed to write a different version of some Castle events for myself. Here's a short but sweet story about things going right from 6x23.

In the face of his impending death, Castle tries to piece together the story of LokSat and prays that he gets a chance to tell it to someone - preferably Kate. One way that the LokSat investigation might play out, entirely in my own imagination. Spoilery for season 8.

She is almost sure she knows what he's going to say. She wants to hear the words but is not sure how to react if they're not the ones she expects. Post 8x17. Small spoilers.

There's a Kate-sized lump under the covers. And she's not just asleep; when he moves around to the other side, he sees that she's half on his side, wearing one of his shirts, her head on his pillow. An 8x15 pre-ep. COMPLETE.

"Alien abduction. Clowns. Abnormally symmetrical cacti. Zombies. Ghosts. Silently fuming Beckett. Mummies. Big Foot. Spiders. Tigers. Lions. Bears." Dreams are terrifying, especially when they get Castle in trouble with Beckett. Season 5 fic.

It's 2004, Castle is 32, Alexis is 10. Castle's latest book just made number one on the NY Times best seller list. So, what better way to celebrate than to take his daughter to Breckenridge, Colorado for Spring Break? Skiing, sledding and fun in the snow, what could possibly go wrong?

A new case leads to someone close to the team as a person of interest for the murder, and a team member being sideline for a bit of the case. Meanwhile Kate is ordered to bed rest and must content with her mother in law, father, and her best friend trying to follow the doctors and her husband's instructions while Kate's mind wonders to the case and her precinct.

The third and final installment of the Monster Trilogy, set in Season 7. This continues the AU tale of Richard Castle's disappearance at the end of Season 6, leading into Season 7. This picks up at the conclusion of Recluse. Please read Monster and Recluse first, as spoilers are throughout.

She wanted one night of fun, one night to lay down her burdens, and he looked like exactly what she wanted. One-shot smut and fluff. PWP.

"You don't have to do this alone. And I'm sorry, but I'm not going to let you. You think you have to carry this burden on your shoulders. You've convinced yourself that the weight of it is just something more you have to bear while the hole in your heart is trying to heal. But that's not true, Kate. I can help carry it, I can take some of the weight." An AU take on 4X01 (Rise).

Mature AU 4x20: "I … I uh tried to call you and you didn't pick up and than you didn't open the door an I thought something happened...and...and...and who the hell has a Boba Fett in his freaking bathroom?"

"Rick Castle had a secret. A deeply hidden one that he was carrying around for the past six years and that no one could ever found out."

Smutty one shot. Sets after 8x17, because we need more Caskett sex.

Insert short story to Death Wish, but in this case Kate Beckett has a surprise for her husband after wishing for a while for it to come true.

They were more than a team; they were a family. Take one away, and they all come tumbling down.

Post-episode tag for 8x17 'Death Wish'. "What has he done that you should give him this pleasant life— what have I done to deserve so hard a fate?" ― Anonymous, Tales from the Arabian Nights

Castle couldn't have been happier that they finally had the loft to themselves. They need not fear any unwelcomed interruptions. "You do not have to tell me twice, or should I say thrice?" AU insert for "Death Wish". ONESHOT. Rated M.
