A/N: By Request, PRE-Series Hookup, Rick and Lanie. Focus on Rick's discussion with Alexis about the night he danced, fell in love, and lost contact with a girl in college, sometimes memories come back at the worse time. COMPLETELY AU I don't own Castle; I use the characters for amusement purposes only.

What would happen if Johanna Beckett hadn't died on that fateful day in 1999, but went into hiding with the FBI? The FBI faked her death and she couldn't come back or have any contact with her family until the case was solved. The case is now over. How will her family react? Will this affect the Caskett wedding? Who is buried underground while Johanna still lives?

This is an AU sequel to my story, Potions of Love. I will bring aspects of Potions of Love into this follow-up saga, so I encourage followers to browse the first story, which was loosely based on the movie Love Potion Number 9. Many of the characters in this story are from the TV series #Castle, which ABC and Andrew Marlowe own. Others are from my imagination.

Detective Beckett questions Castle about the 'Flowers for her Grave' murder and discovers he's not high on the NYPD. Still, he wants to be involved with the department. She's not the only one touched by an unsolved homicide.

When an undercover operation goes sideways, Ryan is caught in the crossfire and it's up to the rest of the team to get him back before he ends up as another casefile on their desks. This fits toward the end of season 5. Ryan!whump

They dance around each other, wanting and wishing and never quite meeting in the middle. They break each other's hearts, and then they come back for more. They long for each other, but they don't talk about it. Until they do. COMPLETE

"Her stubborn, stupid body wanted Castle, was apparently fixated on him, and wasn't interested in any substitutes. So maybe she should just go for it, have a one night stand with him, get him out of her system." Starting at the end of 2x23 "Overkill" and going from there.

Another story based on a Collin Raye song. DISCLAIMER: I have no legal rights to anyone, or anything associated with this show. however, I do have the privilege to play with the characters.

But when things get complicated it leaves both parties in an uncomfortable position, questioning what they really want.

Castle series, present day. This is a story that had the series continue to current day would appear in a season 12 or 13. So come, read a story that brings the season up to date with all the issues and conflicts of our current times. At the heart of this story is a family drama.

I have a lot of random little ideas that pop into my head - so this will be a collection of all those little stories. Each chapter will be a stand alone story (unless stated otherwise). Some will be from prompts, others will be just random ideas. I do not own or profit from these characters, anything you recognise is not mine.

Set in the early seasons; Being the designated driver gives Castle a glimpse into Kate’s apartment and some much needed alone time.

A few weeks into the semester and Kate Beckett already has a nemesis. In this college AU, Kate is reminded not to judge a book by its cover because there is always more to the story.

On a distant planet, Rick Castle hopes to get some rest and relaxation at Dome 27. He doesn't.

What if Beckett and Castle had been a bit slower in finding Lockwood in "Knockdown"? This is my look at what could have happened if the professional assassin had been allowed to continue his interrogation. Ryan!whump, definitely an AU look at the episode.

What would have happened if Castle hadn't been kidnapped on his way to their original wedding in The Hamptons. Rated T for the first chapter, but that rating will change.

They spend the summer making their way south exploring places new and old while Castle and Beckett look forward to their upcoming anniversary. Forty-third in the Beware Of Darkness series. Caskett pairing.

Of the three things Kate Beckett values most in her life, literature stands out. That's why she ends up going to that book launch party for her favorite author, even though she thinks the new saga isn't as good as the one that came first. She just had no idea what it would entail in her life, let alone how Richard Castle could be even more than she used to believe.

(Fr) - Someone who starts building something with no clear plan, adding bits here and there, cobbling together a whole while flying by the seat of their pants. Post Series Finale - A series of connected one-shots, of life in progress, the way we see it.

What if Martha's night of passion was a plausible explanation, but not the only explanation. Totally AU. Caskett guaranteed, but a satisfactory ending for all probably not. I don't own Castle. I just play with the characters.

In this very AU story Richard Rodgers Meets Katherine Beckett Davidson on a wagon train headed west in 1854. Her abusive husband is killed on the trek and they eventually get toether
