how do you move from "we are over" to "I'm lucky to have you stand with me"?

Missing moment and slightly re-written scene from Season 3 Episode 22. Beckett/Castle

Lanie prays to the gods of irony. Obligatory post-"Knockout" fic.

What is reality, and what is fiction? It's hard to stay true to one's heart when things have gone so badly. And it all starts with the girl. The countdown's on, and there's only so long before the grand finale. Take a bow, Castle. You've reached the end.

He's not the one who got away.

A short one-shot about what Kate is thinking after she is shot, and closing to blacking out. Enjoy!

He can't speak, but he can't let her slip away without hearing those three words. Spoilers for 3x24. Caskett oneshot.

He had flown too near the sun. His wax had melted, his wings had failed him, and he had fallen. But Icarus was not failing as he fell, just coming to the end of his triumph.

Castle/Beckett. Post s3 finale. He won't let it be something else they just don't talk about…

Just a quick little diddy to pass the time. Hope you like.

Post-finale. Castle tries to put the pieces back together.

They didn't know about the pieces of her that her friend Javier Esposito had to help pick up off the floor and glue back together. Beckett&Esposito, Beckett&Castle

Castle merely sat there, manuscript open to the first page, running his fingers over the dedication hashed out in black ink. Castle/Alexis.Heavily implied Caskett.

All that Kate Beckett concealed inside her heart is shot open and as she is externally taken care of by the frantic writer and beloved friends, internally she relives the presence of people who no longer live themselves.

Kate Beckett est morte, abattue par le sniper. Castle n'a pas pu la sauver. Fou de douleur et ivre, il s'apprête à la rejoindre. Mais un bien étrange personnage lui fait alors une proposition qui permettrait à Castle de retrouver la femme qu'il aime. L'écrivain est-il prêt à tout? Va-t-il signer ce pacte?

"Withholding evidence? Impersonating a police officer? They're both against the law, you know," Lanie pointed out. Castle kept his gaze on her, knowing that she'd break eventually. "Alright, fine, but don't blame me if you end up in prison."

It's like a comedy of errors, Lanie reflects ruefully. But really, it's more like a tragedy of miscommunications, because Kate and Castle are never on the same page at the same time.

Castle's POV from the scene in the airplane hangar in "Knockout." One-shot.

In which Rick and Kate discuss Kate's previous injuries. World'verse. RATING WARNING!

SPOILERS for Knockout. Post-episode series. What happens after Beckett gets shot? COMPLETE at chapter 9.
