Tag to 5x09, "Secret Santa." Esposito has dinner and watches a movie with the Cabots and decides he isn't having such a bad Christmas after all. Written as a gift on a different site.

The always started at the beginning. Future!family!fic. Warning: Tears.

Beckett wakes Castle in the middle of the night to give him his Christmas gift. Fluffy Christmas ficlet.

Castle and Beckett celebrate their anniversary. Dedicated to SheWhoTangles.

OS An alternate confrontation between Rick and Kate is Always. In which Castle answers when Ryan calls him. I really suck at summaries. But give it a shot :)

Kate can't believe that the first place she sees Castle after their summer apart is as a bachelor auction. She is determined NOT to bid on him-no matter how much she wants to. And then Ellie Monroe and Meredith place their bids... An alternative 3x01. A Christmas present for Natalie Elizabeth.

"And then she's gone, a whisper of a memory as their fingertips slip apart and he watches her skate away, eyes shining bright with love and laughter as she silently promises to be back soon, a glimmer of golden curls beneath the moonlight." Just a little Castle and Beckett ficlet for Christmas time, takes place at the Rockefeller skating rink. I hope you enjoy!

What if Rick Castle Never met Kate Beckett until today. But Alexis knew them? Rick, world traveling War Corespondent for several National and International publications, winner of Pulitzers, and novelist. He has finally returned home to get involved in another Murder investigation. The one of Alexis's college roommate! A serial Killer on the loose, Rick's expertise will be needed.

Kates plans for Christmas? Romance throughout the holiday Season.

Turning the knob she said, "I knew you couldn't resist the marath.." She stopped dead in her sentence as she opened the door and saw who was standing in front of her. And it was definitely not Castle...

As much as she was excited about what this day would bring, she still wanted to relish the feel of his warm body next to hers, feel his excitement seep through his pores and ignite the magic within. (my entry for the 12th precincts Christmas fic competition.)

Alexis wants it, Beckett gives it to her. Warning: Femslash! Same story I published a few days ago, just in English

Post Secret Santa. "Il se rendit compte à cet instant que la tradition, les cadeaux et la bûche... Tout cela n'avait pas d'importance, il avait tout cela deux secondes auparavant et se sentait plus vide que jamais. La seule chose dont il avait besoin, noël ou pas, c'était elle."

Mild Spoilers for 5x09 "Secret Santa" "This Christmas is going to be awesome!" he declares, pressing his fingers over his mouth to contain the excitement that looks ready to fly out of him and race around the room somewhere near the ceiling, like the witch in the Wizard of Oz. Change of Rating to M. COMPLETE

Written for the 12th Precinct Christmas fanfic Competition. Christmas at the 12th, Castle style.
