This is an AU story taking place sometime after Sucker Punch when Kate has already renewed her investigation into her mother's death. Castle is driven to admit his feelings earlier than in canon. The cover art is by Artifex Prime.

"Beckett stared at the street camera footage from a cold case, wincing every time she moved the mouse. Her arm hurt. Really, really hurt, and the blood and fluid was soaking through her makeshift bandage. It hadn't hurt last night, or any time before they'd closed the sniper case. She'd wrapped it up, taken Advil every morning, and never felt a thing." Castle Ficathon 2023

‹‹ "Kate?" his voice is hesitant and he looks a bit pale. "Is… is it really you?" Kate looks down into the papers, avoiding his eyes. Those blue eyes. She can't help but wonder if they still look like the ocean. She thinks about lying, saying it isn't her, that she doesn't know what he's talking about, that she's never met him in her entire life. But she knows it won't work.››

We know that Rick and Kate took a little vacation to Hawaii when they got back from their adventure from that medieval world that they found themselves in when they went through that mirror portal at the Renaissance Festival.

Set directly after the finale scene of 4x23 Always and developing an alternative storyline following Castle and Beckett finally finding their way to each other. Things will unfold a lot differently and faster than they did on screen. The main theme will be their relationship and the events regarding their families as things continue to evolve. Will contain smut. Hope you enjoy!

"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.

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.

He breaks up with her and storms out of her apartment telling her he is on his way to a six month DWB mission in Columbia. He had initially rejected the mission wanting to he with her, but now no more.

Their future was bound for happiness...but that doesn't mean there are no more bumps in the road for Mr. and Mrs. Castle...or is it Mr. & Mrs. Beckett...and family. Let's explore where some of those bumps might lead in their MANY Moments of Always.
