With a new bar open in town and his team AWOL Castle takes on a little undercover mission of his own, never dreaming that 'Ace in the Hole' is where he'll find his Midnight Queen.

This story takes place sometime during Season 3 and is a stand alone story. It's about a murdered pirate and a costume party. Silly banter included!

Today, I finished it in honor of next week's Season 5 premiere and TLAPD 2012. Comments are love, enjo

There is a man, standing in front of the murder board, in the middle of the precinct. Focused, serious, determined. There's only one thing wrong. He has no pants.

Castle and Beckett talk numbers and history. one shot, takes place mid season 5.

They were supposed to have always. So why does the beginning look so much like the end? Their world is burning around them... One shot.

Coda to "Knockout". Companion to "Pressure". Slash, Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan.

"What about you? You think I'm a bad guy?" Javier snarled, his hands tightening around Kevin's throat tightly. Kevin bit back a wince as he tried to squirm out of Javier's hands. His partner's fingers tightened even further, his nails biting the soft flesh of Kevin's neck as he leaned in close enough for Ryan to smell the lingering aroma of tequila on his breath. "I am a bad guy."

Slight AU, Cops and Robbers. The last time Kate saw Castle, he was too close to the danger zone. Then the explosion hit, and her worrying began.

It was her idea. It worked. But it was a dumb idea. Spoilers for 5x2 if I'm magic.

Le lendemain matin imaginé par mes soins. Tout ça fomente dans mon esprit depuis le season finale et se nourrit des mes accords et désaccords avec les autres FF, ainsi que de la promo ! . Je ne me sens pas d'écrire une grosse fiction d'enquête mais il y aura quelques éléments en lien avec l'affaire Johanna Beckett forcément, puisqu'il est difficile de faire autrement.

Strong and wild, slow and easy, heart and soul, so completely. Caskett oneshot.

It was over.

Castle and Beckett spend the night after she came to him, telling him she almost died, and all where she could thing of was him. But, was that a smart idea? Does Beckett has second thoughts?

A reenactment of mid summer season 2. It's my first story please be nice.

In which Kevin shares a bit of history—and is an irredeemable tease, but we all knew this—and Javier gains the upper-hand as it were. Life AU. Zombies. PWP. Slash, Ryan/Esposito.

One of Kate Beckett's secret rituals comes out for Rick Castle's enjoyment.

Castle and Beckett wake up in a big house. Hangover and missing objects. Castle and Beckett meet a young women named Stones. Becketts Mothers case comes back up and so dose some of Castles past.

She's been struggling to find the words for months, to tell him how much she loves and adores him, how happy he makes her. How she feels like a whole person when she's with him. How he fills the empty places inside her chest with his love and his smiles.

She's done running. Done fighting. She's letting the rest of her wall blow away on the wind. And she's hoping that he's willing to take that ride with her. Spoilers for new season and the promo. Kate/Rick

"For the record, this," she rotates a finger around the moldering room, nose crinkled in adorable disgust, "is why I don't let you drive. I fell asleep in civilization and woke up in the middle of nowhere." One shot. Complete.

What if Castle and Beckett have met before, in their childhood? A series of one-shots.

AU season 4. Lanie sets Kate up with a flatmate. Even though Kate is not thrilled about that idea she lets herself get talked into it. Start of the story is set between "Head Case" and "Kick the Ballistics".

What might have happened if they had their movie date as scheduled! "Oh God, please don't bite your lip again." "Why not?" "Because it makes me want to kiss you." Here's the M-rated version of Alternate Always - Chapter 3.
