"She wakes to a hazy world, her thoughts blurred at the edges, her vision distorted and darkened with spots of black, the beeping sound that reaches her ears as distant as the voices she thinks are talking to her." A 8x22, Crossfire, post-ep.

She already feels like a prisoner and she wants out. :: Based on a story from Humans of New York.

[CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE SERIES FINALE] Their eldest daughter Lily wasn't planned, but she was what returned happiness to Castle and Beckett's life and made them a family. Their second child was planned. Twins however? That wasn't the plan.

4fireking suggested a story where Castle has a son instead of a daughter. This is obviously AU. It starts at the beginning when Rick meets Kate. Ian is not a male Alexis. He has challenges but is determined to overcome them. Rick helps the best he can. I own nothing Castle except my dreams.

"The air empties somewhat and it takes her a moment to place what has happened. His stuttering gasps have fallen to a halt and it is only her own left meeting her ears." Post-ep for the series finale if it hadn't gone all happy ending. AU-ish, Complete

"Limitless or endless in space, extent, or size; impossible to measure or calculate." My post-ep for the series finale.

A small series of vignettes to fill in those seven years between the kitchen and the kids. Post ep for 8x22. One shot. Complete.

Post 8x22 'Crossfire,' because I had to get in on the bandwagon.

Castle looked out the window from his wheelchair with hands on the armrest. . . . (AU ending to Crossfire)

A short, different take on the final few moments of the finale (8x22). AU-ish.

Set in/around the final scene of 8x22 (Series Finale). Spoilers for 8x22 within.

Post finale. A scene explaining how they were saved. So SPOILER ALERT.

Beckett's asked for a miracle, for someone to come and save him from an agonizing death on their kitchen floor. Her prayers are answered by the most peculiar, and unexpected, guardian angel. Written for Costanza and Elisa.

This story take place around 8x08 but this time Castle and Beckett have a four years old son name Jayden to consider. Caslte confront Beckett. what will she choose her family or will she keep going after locksat ? And their separation is it temporary or is it final ! Be kind please this is my first try at writing a fan fiction.

What happens in between those 7 years from when Castle and Beckett lay on the ground after Caleb shot them until them sitting at the breakfast table with their three children. Contains Spoilers, this whole fan fiction is basically a whole spoiler!

Prompted at castlefanficprompts for 8x12, "The Blame Game", thus spoilers: What if Kate were injured, or pregnant, during this episode? I went with both and made it as fluffy as possible when there's an emergency room involved.

'All they went through, all they fought for, shines so brightly in moments like these. And as Castle so often likes to remind her, she would never change their story either, not a single chapter. Not when every page spent with him means more to her than words could ever describe.' Post-ep for 8x22, 'Crossfire'.

An Alternate Universe take on the ending of Castle.

"She wakes to the slap of little feet on the hardwood floor. It's not a sound she's unused to these days. Three children (four including her child like husband) have the loft in a constant state of sound and movement." A in-between scenes story for 8x22. Basically how I see some of the 7 years going.

Post the events of Crossfire. Takes place in the hospital.

That's what the great love stories are about, beating the odds. Set immediately before the time jump. 8x22

My way of fixing the series finale.

What happens right after Castle and Beckett are shot in 8x22 and the reveal that will change their lives.

Tumblr post from beckett-luvs-her-goober: "Let's all take a minute and imagine how Madison reacts when she finds out Beckett is pregnant with Lily"

Extended AU Addition of the Season 8 Series Finale "Crossfire." Always.
