Kate Beckett didn't need anyone to fight her battles for her, she'd learned how to do that long ago, but it was nice to know that she had people who were willing to back her up...Beckett's POV, one-shot about Beckett, Ryan, & Esposito. Please read&review!

He tasted her gasp on his lips, it was the most honest moment they had ever shared. One-Shot Castle's POV. Spoilers for 3x13...Please read & review!

A Manhattan family gets killed following the murder of a Broadway stunts man. During a cat and mouse car chase, Castle is injured. Now Beckett must learn to think like Castle, while dealing with her feelings for him.

"I told her that he was no good, I told her not to see him again." He fists curled under the table. "I told her that he'd ruin her life." Kevin pivoted his head a bit and took a deep breath. "And he ruined my marriage."

When playing Jenga, one must be careful. He was already teetering. He couldn't collapse. Knockdown tag. Esposito/Lanie.

In which Kate Beckett reflects about the events that took place during "Knockdown". One-shot.

A continuation/minor changing of episodes that I think should have ended differently. T for now, but may possibly change later. SPOILER ALERTS LIKE CRAZY! Marked as complete because they are all one-shots, don't worry I'm not going to stop writing them!

If only they Stop punishing and depriving themselves for the love they both deserve. Takes place around Season 2.

Beckett returns home after a long, emotional couple of days during the events of Knockdown. She sits down and reflects on who really is important to her and who she can really depend on. Spoilers for Knockdown

he could think only in that moment. spoilers for 3x13 knockdown! about the kiss, nothing on the actual case x rated T just in case D:

When a throwaway comment leads to some serious revelations, Castle and Beckett's relationship is changed forever.

Castle, Beckett, Esposito, and Ryan are thrown into a case that forces Beckett to face her past, watch out for her present, and look into her future.

Sometimes all you want is for time to move slower, sometimes backwards. But time, forever heartless, never listens.

Set near the end of the episode "Knockdown", when they go in to the warehouse to get Esposito and Ryan. Things go a bit differently, and someone ends up getting shot. Oneshot.

Some things are, well, overrated. Some are just the opposite. Post-3.11 AU, Caskett.

Another drabble. Castle longs to flesh out that kiss, but he's afraid she'd never feel the same.

In which Beckett and her father talk about The Case…Homage to "Sucker Punch", tag to Knockdown.

The morning after girl talk. Post 3x13. Espo/Lanie Castle/Beckett

My take on the spoilers for episode 3:13. When new evidence pertaining to Beckett's mother's murder comes to light, everything starts to crash down around her.

After a betrayal, Kate is hurt. Can Castle make her feel better? rated T for language! a bit of drama at the beginning but its the good kind, trust me ; Esplanie there too!

Beckett! Or should I say, Mrs. Castle?

Come on, you're really not curious as to what happens when Beckett slams that guy into the glass? Well I was, so here it is, minor spoiler alert, if I must say.

Beckett gets closer to finding who had her mother killed, and uncovers a decades old conspiracy. My attempt at what I think will happen in the episode airing January 24th, based on the promo pictures released before christmas

Lanie is injured at a body dump and Esposito take her home with him. Kate/ Castle in there too. NOW FINISHED!
