Few years have past and Beckett has become the new Captain of the 12th. New detectives join , Hall and O'Harra as they take part in the interesting world of Castle. Top title the Arc, bottom title chapter name updates always on Wednesday

Everything will change, nothing stays the same. Post Always fic.

Post 4x23. Yes, it's another post-finale fic. From Castle's POV; upon waking up the next morning, he wonders if the night before was all a dream.

"All I could think about was you." A look into Beckett's mind as she is hangs on for dear life.

So this is a '47 Seconds' fic, wanted to write what could have happened had our favourite duo managed to actually finish their conversations. So I hope you like.

"They are our solid ground, our North Star, and the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us. Always." - Post 4x23 "Always". Kate/Rick. Slight Drabble

Words cannot describe it.

Beckett says "I love you", the ever-important words missing from the finale. Post-'Always'. Lightening: a reduction in weight or an increase in happiness.

Esposito said pancakes are an edible way to say, "Thank you so much for last night." Kate's not sure they could ever say enough.

Just kind of a fluff piece of Caskett ness after "Always". Does contain spoliers for episode 4x23- if you haven't seen, please don't read and get mad at me. More romance than hurt/comfort by the way

when someone from Beckett's past arises she is forced to make a decision that will change her life.

In the pouring rain, Kate realizes her life is now her story to tell. Contains spoilers for Always. One shot.

"The young girl, who had heard the story millions of times before, clapped wildly at her mother's tale." Post-ep for Always, contains spoilers.

"He'd written pages and pages of stories like this. But none of his stories could even come close to this." Just a post-ep for "Always." And my first foray into Castle fanfiction.

I watched Always last night SPOILERS - and wondered what was going through their minds at various times. I took the last 20 minutes, and added that insight. I don't own these guys, and I thank ABC for keeping this show on the air!

Her face buried into the dark sheets, she soaks up the scents, his and hers, seared together, vivid and burning. Episode reaction to 4x23, "Always"

Continuing bits of story tied to the first chapter

Based on 47 Seconds Promo. Castle needs to confront Beckett after Gates talks with him.

The morning after or the middle of the night after, just AFTER . Post-finale.

"...the sense that things aren't so concrete. That up is not always up, and down is not always down. That her stoic façade isn't always there, won't always be there." Just a mini thing. Two parts is all.

Javier Esposito following the events of "Always." Spoilers/tag for that episode.

Rick and Kate have a little fun enroute to a family reunion.

"He's steady. Her stone foundation as everything crumbles around her." :: Post-Always, written while a little drunk on red wine.

She's had an epiphany...and for once in her life, she will embrace it wholeheartedly. Now Complete

Castle told Alexis he wouldn't worry about her until lunch time the next day, but that won't keep Alexis from worrying about him. Short and sweet!
