Lily ha tre anni ed è Natale, the most wonderful time of the year

This is my own version of the original poem 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, and I hope you like it.

Kate Beckett just finished her first day as Captain of the Twelfth Precinct. Yet she didn't want to go home to an empty apartment. Her life was a lonely one. And she felt like celebrating this milestone in her career with the NYPD. But the last thing she expected was to run into Richard Castle. Caskett. Set in an alternate Season 8. Rated T. COMPLETE. For CastleFicathonWinter2017.

Goes off canon after 8x02. When Rick lands in the hospital after a traffic accident, he reminds Kate that anything can happen. "The best way to keep me safe, Kate, is to keep me close. Back to back, watching each other's six." Even while they're watching, they're racing to solve the puzzle of LokSat and Rick's lost summer.

Lanie does Christmas like it's going out of fashion (oh, if only!) and invariably, and as inevitably as death and taxes, hauls Beckett along behind her, kicking, screaming and threatening. Beckett does not do Christmas. Ever. She does not do festivity. Castle, on the other hand, does. But not quite like Lanie. Not at all like Lanie, in fact.

Kate Beckett wakes in a world where nothing is as she knows it to be. A season 4, AU story. NOW COMPLETE.

In which Lily Castle sees something she shouldn't. Oops! A bit of utterly silly Christmas fluff.

Borrowing a prompt from Chezchucles. A series of short vignettes of the first Christmases from my various AU stories. Starting with Agent Rodgers.

Castle and Beckett go on their date and things don't end up going quite as planned. A one-shot sequel to "Because You Were Gone."

This story is set for when they encounter each other during College. Are they still destined to be together. Only problem is, is that Rick has a secret. A very important one. One that he will soon find out could mean life and death. But not just for him. - now Complete

Castle wants to surprise Kate but she is a bit suspicious of his intentions. One funny shot.

Ever since she lifted the phone to her ear this morning and he said 'tell me you need me,' she's been acutely aware of just how badly she does need him. Alternate ending for 4x07. One shot.

There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe... Caskett vs toasters. Based very loosely upon the original 1978 TV movie by Glenn A. Larsen. My offering for the CastleFicPromoter Halloween Bash. Cover Art by Lord of Kavaka and Beta read by Cofkett.

It took her a daunting thirty-storey drop to realize she needed him, a torrential downpour to realize she wanted him, and a relentless ache to realize she just couldn't take it anymore.

What happens when late night phone call from Castle turns into a lot more than a regular talk? Read and find out.

Everyone only has one soulmate...right? [Caskett Soulmate AU Circa Season 3/4]

He hadn't seen her in weeks but he suddenly wondered, no matter what happened with Bond, if he was really ready to walk away from Nikki Heat, walk away from her. AU for 2x5 "When the Bough Breaks."

On an ordinary day in a mundane week in a forgetful month, she was somebody's mom.

Five-year-old Lily has a sugar daddy. Kate is alarmed - until she sees who it is.

She always gives herself one day. A few hours to remember the good times. Remember the happy times, before the weight if grief takes over. The morning after the first real snowfall she gets up early, bundles up and goes out. A winter AU.

It doesn't matter anymore, does it? Or maybe it does, it always did. Esposito learns it the hard way. (or an alternative version to "Last Seduction")
