We're not broken, just bent; and we can learn to love again. AU: What if Kate had gone down a different path after her mom's murder? What if Rick had married Kyra? Was it fate that still brought them together?

In which Castle insists on warming Kate up after a long day on the slopes. Pre-ep of sorts for 5x19.

Un asesino en serie comente arduos y macabros asesinatos que llevan a la Inspectora Beckett por pistas e investigaciones de los más enrevesadas. Mientras esto sucede, conoce al afamado escritor Richard Castle el cual parece estar involucrado en dichos asesinatos y se debate entre el corazón y la razón.

Beckett has a dream. Takes place in season 4. 1st chapter is hurt/comfort cute. 2nd chapter is Smut.

Rick Castle tries to explain this past year to his publicist, Paula. Another post Watershed story but from a slightly different view.

Castle on one knee waited for Beckett's answer to his question. The one question that he knew would change their lives forever. He always wanted to marry her the first day that he met her almost 5 years ago. He thought that she was the one that he had been looking for...my (1st) way of seeing 6x1.

Ok...so this fic happens few months after "Probable Cause" I hope you like it and please review...something happened to Castle and Beckett won't stop until she finds him...

Her dad takes her to the airport. He doesn't ask where Castle is and she doesn't offer. *Watershed post-ep*

Will Castle and Beckett's fight break them up or make them stronger?

The title kind of says it. Beckett gets drunk and Castle sees the interesting things that happen when she does. OOC and AU. UPDATED 5/22/13.

She's come here with the answer to the wrong question and she cannot take her eyes off of him, off of the ring he's holding out to her and she's stupidly looking through the center of it to the man behind, to the blue in his eyes. Post Epi Watershed prompt.

Castle's face displayed the grim determination of someone planning a funeral instead of the love and joy that should accompany the question

It's been two months. - spoilers for Still.

Kate's answer. "He looked so serious, kneeling before her, the lines of his face tight, eyes carefully guarded. She hurt him. She knew that and even still…He wanted to marry her." Spoilers for Watershed.

Castle kicks his shoes off and wanders over to her side of the bed, not sure if he's crazy or if something is off. Really, being him, it could be either. When he reaches her he finds her curled around their little Lucy, her graceful hand sweeping across the infant's head of soft down hair.

A/U It's definitely not love at first sight. Prickly, aloof and strait-laced Kate Beckett isn't what Rick expected when he hires someone to protect a young Alexis. She's all business while he's all about the play. Shallow, irresponsible and a playboy is how Beckett would characterize her latest employer. But sometimes first impressions can turn out to be wrong.

A post-ep (or during-ep if you like) for 4x17. What's going through Beckett's head as she curls her fingers around Castle's hand as they watch Martha's one-woman show? One-shot.

She lets the colour of the wings burn bright into her eyes before she eventually finds sleep. (Character death in Chapter 10) (Complete with alternate ending as an epilogue)

What happens when it's not Castle who falls in love with Beckett; it's Alexis

She looks at it, what it is, what it isn't. What it could have been. **post-ep for Watershed, contains spoilers**

'This is not love.'

"And then she fully comes back to herself and realizes that she is not only standing in the middle of a room for no apparent reason, but that she's been staring at the ring. With god only knows what kind of expression on her face. Based on the one on his, it probably doesn't look promising. At that moment, she has the strangest thought: it's like looking in a mirror."

Beckett faces the what-ifs of her shooting when Castle gets shot. Spoilers for Knockout, Rise, and Heat Rises. No character death.

"This place is my home!" She heard the words echo around interrogation as though it were a proclamation, a vow, an epiphany. First chapter is Kate's revelation, second chapter is Castle's. SPOILERS for Watershed.

This was inspired by the song "Just Give Me a Reason" by Pink/Nate Ruess. It takes place about a year after C/B started dating, but is not tied to the specifics of season five. In other words, it's a slight AU, forcing the ugly conversation they've needed to have for quite a while.
