"Une pluie battante. Un coup de feu. Une personne au mauvais endroit au mauvais moment. Des vies brisées.

There were always some cases that stayed with them. Cases that they could never forget, no matter how hard they tried. / Kevin Ryan post 3XK. RyanEsposito

Kate has a cute mission

A quick and dirty shot across the bows for the next episode – The Squab and the Quail. Possible spoilers for the TV show (Season 5, Episode 21 or 22 depending upon how you order them)

Une discussion entre amies dans un café, sur un événement particulier.

This is my response to the furor caused by the Promo on Squab and the Quail.

Based off the promo for 5x21 "The Squab and the Quail". T rating for language.

Spoilers up to 'The Fast and the Furriest'. A short sequence that has rattled around my head since the episode aired. Enjoy.

"Stop mocking my post-coital haze. It's your fault I'm a puddle of mush right now." A silly, sexy season five scene, no spoilers.

(Spoilers for Still/Squab and the Quail) "The next time you flirt with a guy, I'm gonna have to ask you to marry me."

She feels like she is drowning, a sense of rushing water clouds her mind. She can hear the gush of a river resonating in her ears...But what happens next surprises everyone.

Kate Beckett, huge fan of the novelist Richard Castle, writes him an email asking about his motivation for writing. He responds and they begin to write to each other. Alternative meeting - if 1x01 hadn't happened...

'¿Os habéis enterado ya? El Cabaret es la nueva fiebre y a veces subir la temperatura es justo lo que hace falta, y como siempre, Rick es el primero en apuntarse a la juerga.' A partir de '47 segundos.', tendrá algún capítulo más que espero poder subir pronto. ¡Gracias por leer!

Spoiler for 5x22. Based on the 'what the heck' moment in the promo. Esposito catches Beckett and Vaughn

Este relato me lo saqué de la manga al observar los primeros episodios de la temporada 5, en donde eché en falta más momentos Caskett. Also available in English (The observation room)

SPOILER "The Squab and the Quail" Basé sur la promo ! A partir du "I'm doing my work". Et si Castle était obligé d'aller avec Beckett chez le riche, et s'il assistait au baiser... Parce que j'adore quand Castle est en colère et blessé ! Parce que j'adore le Angst qui finit BIEN... RATED M !

Kate is ready to take a chance, but what is Castle isn't? [Just a short little one-shot. Kind of morphing from some end of the season *spoilers* but more like AU-ish, because it's a very big assumption and addition from those spoilers to this.]

Johanna is a top lawyer, travelling all over the world, and bringing a teenage Kate with her. She's now working in London, and Kate is at boarding school in the English countryside (where the story is ALL set - don't be put off by...things.) But Kate isn't the only American at St James' Academy...

When Christmas Eve gets angsty, Kate's only safe solution is a tactical retreat. And really, where else are you going to read an angsty romcom that includes Boba Fett, Aqua Net, Simon & Garfunkle, Wales and mentions of Castle sashaying? This took 2nd place in the public vote for the 12th precinct blogspot competition. Cover art by dtrekker.

Castle's speaks without thinking, is it a question Beckett is ready to handle or will she be stubborn enough to ignore it? [Now updated with Chapter 4]

Is his first time in a solo undercover mission since they have been together and he only wants to impress her, but everything is not as it should be. There's always a story and he's not going to stop until he gets to be bottom of it. AU Established Caskett. First fic, ever!

Physiotherapy is the new bane of Richard Castle's life. Good job Kate Beckett is there to help motivate him. "Oh, I think I can take you," he replied with a leer, his eyes travelling up her body. Spoilers for 5x19 "The Lives of Others"

This takes place after 'Once upon a crime'. Castle and Beckett go out for drinks, and get a little carried away.

"So Castle, missing your girlfriend?" the sinister tone cannot be masked by the remnants of laughter … the voice is familiar … not everyday familiar … but he knows it ….

Oneshot speculation about "Still" based off of the promos and my own headcanon. Spoilers from both the ABC and CTV promos, you have been warned. "And too late, too late, she whispers an answer she'll never have the chance to say to him, the words he'll never get to hear from a future they'll never have..."
