Warning–Spoiler Alerts so don't read until after the episode airs if you want to be spoiler free. This is based on reading a review of the press screening of In the Belly of the Beast that didn't reveal the ending, but said it wasn't what the reviewer expected. So this is what would annoy me the most.

M rated companion story to Out of the Grey. It's been so long. So very very long since she's made love to someone.

She should be happy right? She's got a great life, so she should be happy. She has an amazing career and two beautiful children and a successful businessman as a husband. Of course she should be happy. Is she happy? Why isn't she happy? Why isn't this lif

A story of Rick Castle, and his bath. Inspired by E's painting "moments".

What could have happened when Ryan and Esposito ditched Castle in the casino during 'Heartbreak Hotel'. AU tag to 4x8, Heartbreak Hotel. Spoilers for 3x16. Castle!Whump. Rated T for language and violence.

Castle's brilliant idea - "act drunk" - is not cutting it. She makes a mental note never to listen to him again. Ever. About anything. - fill for the winter hiatus kink meme.

I'll start this by saying I have no idea what's going to happen tonight, but this was inspired by the promo for tonight's episode and Stana Katic's interview on TV Line. This is kind of a pre-post-ep I guess. Set at the end of tonight's episode.

A birthday present for Kristy, this post Watershed story takes Kate on a little trip to her past, while inexplicably helping her sort out her future. A Caskett story with SLASH elements. Disclaimer: I do not own the Castle characters, they belong to Andrew W. Marlowe; or Bette Porter, who is the brainchild of Ilene Chaiken.

Three conversations or missing scenes - you decide. Maybe the writers wrote these but they had to be cut; either way all these are purely my take on how I see the relationships, I'm just playing in Andrew Marlowe and Rob Bowman's sandbox for this brief time. Of course reviews are gratefully received.

In response to seilleanmor's filius est pars patris, a continuation of This Is the Dreamworld that allows Rick Castle to be alive and present for his child's birth. Not necessary to have read mine or hers, just know that Castle's 'Dreamworld' surprise arrival in DC left Kate Beckett knocked up.

A Genevieve Fic. A little outtake for Chapter 20 of Learning Genevieve. Beckett's reaction when she answer's the phone to find out Castle is in the hospital. Could possible stand alone, but it is directly based off of Learning Genevieve. So if you are not aware of who Genevieve is, it may be confusing.

"He clings to his newborn daughter, holds her warm little body as close as he possibly can while the steady back and forth of the rocking chair does its best to lull her to sleep." FutureFic, One-shot

All she wants is to feel safe. Post ep one-shot for 6x17. No spoilers.

A little speculation about Kate's rescue and later that night. "She woke to a darkness that could still have been the woods and her eyes flicked from wall to ceiling, ceiling to floor, floor to shadow filled corners and corners to the end of the bed." Spoilers for 6x17, The Belly of the Beast.

Highschool lovers, Kate and Rick meet after years of separation. Though their lives have gone completely opposite directions, that old spark is still there, urging them both to do something incredibly stupid. AU. I'm really bad at summaries- just give it a chance! PLEASE!

AU; Lets go into the lives of the children of Caskett, Esplanie and The Ryan's.

Kate ya no puede aguantar el deseo y las ganas de besar cada vez que esta cerca de cierto escritor pero parece ser que él ya se ve con alguien. Pensando que tiene novia, Kate hará todo lo posible para que Rick vuelva a fijarse en ella, incluso seduciéndolo.

Historia que transcurre entre el final del 4x23 ( Always ) y el 5x01 ( After The Storm ) . ¿Qué pasó esa noche loca?

Very short one shot based on sneaks and promos for 6x17 "In the Belly of the Beast" Some of Beckett's thoughts while she is alone and undercover

Alexis est de retour à la maison

Kate Beckett and Richard Castle meet at an amusment park for the first time. (AU)

They're silly and she likes it, likes how easy it feels as they drift hand in hand towards his bed and Castle starts in again about what she has planned for him, what idle tricks her fingers will pull in the night and what secrets she'll whisper in his ears. Post Epi for Room 147.

A collection of short stories about pure love and agony.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. The picture in front of him would indeed speak a thousand words to anyone else but to her he knew it had only spoken one. Betrayal. Rick centric story. Action/Adventure/HC/Angst. Rated T for occasional strong language and a violent scene in chapter 7. AU. OOC.

Co-authored by cartographical, chezchuckles, and muppet 47. Something of a post-ep for Recoil. 'As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.'
