Kate and Esposito discuss what Castle did to extract information from a suspect. A missing scene from "Target" S5:E15

Captain Gates has always seen the chemistry between Detective Beckett and Mr. Castle, but when she can no longer ignore it, will it mean an end for the partners? One shot

"She was ridiculously gorgeous, that much was a fact. But there was something about her, he couldn't quite put his finger on what exactly, that made her stand out even more. He watched as her thumb caressed the cover of the book gently, and was startled to find sadness in her eyes for a moment." AU.

"She needs to find some clue, just something to go on. She needs to help Castle however she can from her spot here at the Twelfth before he gets himself caught or worse." Post-Target oneshot, Hunt speculation.

His heart is screaming. 'Target' Post-ep

Post kidnapping arch: Alexis decided that Max should meet her father. When she invited their family over for dinner, she didn't realise what their surname was... Decidedly fluffy. Birthday fic for Tadpole24 (rated for one use of a naughty word)

What if Bracken isn't the killer? After Dr. Burke's files on Beckett are stolen to keep her quiet, Beckett opens up to Castle about her PTSD, admitting that her feelings for him trigger her PTSD flashbacks. How do they move forward when their lives are in danger & Beckett can't distinguish the ache of her longing for Castle from the scorch of the bullet? Post-Limey.

She didn't think he had that side to him. In hindsight she should have known. Episode tag for 5x15 Target. One shot.

Once Castle leaves the precinct at the end of "Target", Kate realizes her boyfriend has left a small yet significant thing behind.

The life and times of New York's most sarcastic coroner... And everyone else is an idiot. (Spoilers through 5x10 "Significant Others")

They've been at this a while now... Does the title not say it all? M for a reason.

"He's angry and upset and sad and everything but hopeful all at once." Episode tag for Target. The moment with the decaf coffee.

My response to episode 5x15 *Spoiler warning for 5x15*

She knew that since the roles were reversed, she had to do this as both a partner and a lover. A revision of a one-shot I posted earlier.

Her heart beats in patterns of three, but this isn't the right time for the beats to become words. Castle, Beckett and a picture of Alexis. Happy early birthday tadpole24.

Castle and Beckett are getting a dog. Complete.

Tragic AU of "Target" set one year in the future. I really needed to write this. I don't know why. Warning: Character Death

Four men in black suits just standing waiting. Like sentinels of a near apocalypse. A missed apocalypse she has to remind herself, even as she breaks into a run crossing the empty concrete to them. (Warning spoilers inside. Potential End to Hunt.)

She stands in the shadows watching him. The clench of his fists; the long, strident steps as he paces; the almost unnatural way he carries himself, spine straight and posture impenetrable. *post ep for 5x15 Target, Complete*

This was written as an entry for the 1st ever 12th Precinct Castle Valentine's Fanfic Competition, however, the author decided not to enter the competition (read A/N). Genre is fiction

They say your first is always the hardest. She'd have to agree.

"It's eating him from the inside, and he can't even say it's eating him slowly. It's devouring him fast, pulling him into this sea of darkness, and dreams filled with blood, and terror, and anguish. Loss. Love. Lost love. Lost chances. This is his life now. Or it's what his life has become." Set at the beginning of series 4.

Set in early Season Five; no specific spoilers. Beckett and Castle's help is requested in another precinct to assist on a "weird" murder. Will the new dynamics of their relationship, and the need to keep it secret, hinder their ability to solve the crime?

Castle is writing and forgets to call Beckett. (Spoilers through Significant Others, spoilers for Frozen Heat)

Un momento intímo. Una confianza no esperada. Una escena familiar.
