"Beckett stared at the street camera footage from a cold case, wincing every time she moved the mouse. Her arm hurt. Really, really hurt, and the blood and fluid was soaking through her makeshift bandage. It hadn't hurt last night, or any time before they'd closed the sniper case. She'd wrapped it up, taken Advil every morning, and never felt a thing." Castle Ficathon 2023

A phrase for all time - albeit not exactly canonical, but it just felt like it. OOC

One shot. Set in 7x06’s alternate universe, Kate can’t stop thinking about the man who claimed to know her. Against her better judgement she goes to find Castle.

Oh, she's missed this...as Rick growls "Oh my God, I missed this" and crashes his mouth to hers, it's obvious that they are, as usual, on the same page. A 7X11 scene insert. Pure smut. Rated M. COMPLETE

Ice cream as a vector of encounter. OOC. Season 5

Castle's been freaking out again. OOC, mystique, Season 4

And another version of the beginning of their collaboration. OOC

Kate makes a pact to marry a college friend if they aren’t married by 30. What happens when he shows up to collect?

"I was supposed to be there – I'm supposed to be there, always."

We know that Rick and Kate took a little vacation to Hawaii when they got back from their adventure from that medieval world that they found themselves in when they went through that mirror portal at the Renaissance Festival. But what if someone saw them there, and what if a certain other couple happened to come across a way to see them also.

A few weeks into the semester and Kate Beckett already has a nemesis. In this college AU, Kate is reminded not to judge a book by its cover because there is always more to the story.

A snowstorm may shut down the city, but Kate and Rick don't let it ruin their first date. Meeting AU. COMPLETE

When Kate catches the flu, Rick takes care of her. (Rated M for later chapters.)

A small one shot inspired by Beckett's night alone drinking in Kill Shot

This summer, Jim wants something a little different; a change of scenery and a slower pace; the chance for him and Johanna to make special memories with their granddaughter before life changes once again. Castle Ficathon 2023 Entry. Johanna Verse story. See author's note for more details.

A/N: By Request, PRE-Series Hookup, SEQUEL to Diminished Recall. Picks up exactly where that ends. COMPLETELY AU except for the conversation that prompted this and the use of some character's names. For CeCe, Friend, and Co-Writer with Pen2Paper. I don't own Castle; I use the characters for amusement purposes only I hope it's close to what you wanted.

Surprised to find Castle at the precinct the morning after their bad date, with claims that he has the mayor's blessing to shadow her, Kate's in for a rude awakening when he tells her that they also have to pretend to date. A Castle Ficathon 2023 fic. Rated M

This is a sequel to the Lady in the White Tower. Once again, Baron Richard Castle is sent far away by the Emperor to open new lands for the Empire. This time, however, his wife, Lady Kate, goes with him.

Detective Beckett questions Castle about the 'Flowers for her Grave' murder and discovers he's not high on the NYPD. Still, he wants to be involved with the department. She's not the only one touched by an unsolved homicide.

An AU fantasy story around the season 5 time frame. What happens when Rick and Kate decide to attend a Renaissance Festival? Sounds like it should be fun, but things never turnout to be as expected.

A post-ep of sorts for Countdown. Slightly AU as Josh is not in the picture.

Does Beckett think of Castle? Really short drabble piece I thought of while rewatching s3.

Kevin and Alexis were both at a masquerade looking for a one-night stand with a sexy stranger. Somehow they end up going home with each other instead. Hijinks ensue when they realize exactly what they've just done.

I just think Castle could have been improved so much if Richard Castle was a woman and a Lesbian.

Castle family summer vacation. Fifth in the series. The kids are five years old. Cover art credit to Angie (@Dtrekker on Twitter)
