Kate slows in her walk around the corner at the sound of the familiar voice, dulling the sharp click of her heels on the concrete, steeling herself and channeling every ounce of patience she has left to deal with Ethan Slaughter a second time around. AU insert for 8x06, 'Cool Boys'.

Just a little something that might bring me out of my writer's block. Based on Season 8. No spoilers, that I know of. "She caught him. She finally caught the other man. Many lost their lives, but she finally caught him. This was supposed to be good, she was supposed to feel relief...but she just felt sadness."

The first one, rated M, takes place during the book party in 2x05, "When the Bough Breaks." Also, because a few people have asked: yes, every font mentioned in these chapters is real.

"If she hadn't had that thrice-damned third whisky she wouldn't have bet more than she could really afford to lose, or indeed have got into the poker game with him at all." M-fluff. All characters belong to Marlowe, ABC, et al.

PWP with mild Season 8 spoilers. Based on prompt: "when they get back together, kate tells castle that she was turn on by Professor Castle"

She really hates her training officer. Three shot. AU.
