This is a follow up to my story Father Figure, an explanation of why Castle was abducted. Things will make more sense if you read Father Figure first. Castle's brain was filled with information as a child and he needs to learn what and why. As usual, I own nothing. Follow me on Twitter @CheerfulChemist

Kate Beckett was looking to spend the day at the park with her son. Rick Castle was looking to spend the day at the park with his daughter. Little did they know, what they would find in each other, would change their lives.

"She doesn't want to share him. She doesn't want him to be fascinated with anyone else. She saw the way Castle and Sofia looked at each other. He's not hers, but she doesn't want anyone else to have him." A what if scene insert for "Pandora".

None of them had given me the benefit of the doubt - not even the woman I had vowed to spend the rest of my life with. Post DRIVEN, one shot.

It didn't happen that first night back home. Or the second. Not even that first week. Castle and Beckett work at reclaiming their intimacy and reaffirming their love. Post-DRIVEN. One Shot. Rated M.

"Hey" He said, pulling her out of the trance she was in. She looked up and he noticed that something was off. The lights were dimmed but he could see that her eyes were red-rimmed, make up ruined and a few tissues on the ground. "Kate, what's wrong?"

"The heat of her mouth could wake him from the dead." Maybe not your typical post-ep for "Driven." (7x01) Thanks to Alex (caffinate-me) AND Joy (International08) for beta, but all blame falls to me for this one.

Kate and Rick got to know each other the old fashioned way. They met one day and... This is a story that a couple of people did not want me to post. It follows Kate and Rick, but it's totally A/U. She is not a cop and he had a father. I will post more if the readers like it. So PM And review please.

How Kate Beckett became so adept at talking to Sky Blue. Pre-Series. inspired by 2x07- Famous Last Words.

Beckett: "What are we playing for?" Castle: "Pride. Or clothing." Beckett: "Clothing." A 2-shot take on the poker scene in 1.08. Pure fluff. No plot to speak of. Castle belongs to ABC and Marlowe.

Castle makes a decision shortly after the Pandora case and it results in things going AU during "Always"

7x01 post-ep. "She knew that if they were ever to regain what they had before his disappearance, she would have to make amends too. She hated being in the wrong but if it would fix this, she had to apologize." Kate and Rick talk after his return. Contains spoilers for "Driven". Rated T just in case!

This one shot story comes from an idea from Skye Biles. It is Rick's agent Paula's POV of the events of 701 and some of 702. Paula is trying to counteract the toxic effects of the media, deal with her own reactions to Rick's absence and with Kate's. I own nothing. The m rating is for language.

They were going back. Headed back to the same ropes course that started their relationship. Only this year, she's not allowed to have him. And that only makes her want him that much more. Sequel to Lust.

Kate walks in on Castle, witnessing something stomach twisting

A scene insert for "Driven". Don't you think Rick deserved an apology?

Something that was taken from Kate is suddenly restored. However, it was never in a way she imagined. Will a stunning revelation bring our duo closer together or deepen a growing divide? Season 4, AU after The Limey. A 2014 Ficathon Entry that was not completed in time.

Post "Driven". Después de la enigmática conversación al final de la premiere entre Castle y Beckett, todos esperábamos algo más... One-Shoot.

(Requested by Ana-NotthePrincess) multi-chapter prompts from 6x10.

SPOILERS FOR 7X01 - Kate's thoughts about halfway through Castle's disappearance.

A follow-up "Unwritten" companion. AU. They had both made their peace with the possibility that this all one day could end, even though both prayed every night before they closed their eyes for one day more in paradise.

Post 7x01 idea. I barely write, but the Castle season 7 premiere inspired me to write this one. Enjoy!

A post-ep to 6x12 "Deep Cover." "I keep making the mistake of thinking he's family. But he's not. You are." The conversation Castle and Beckett should have had about Castle's father. One-shot.

A mid-ep filler to 7x1, "Driven." "I swear to you, Alexis, I'll never give up. I'll never stop looking for your dad." Beckett and Alexis try to cope with Castle's disappearance. Spoilers ahead!

Castle and Beckett spend their honeymoon under a wide open sky. Post 6x23, no real season 7 spoilers. Just speculation.
