Castle's angry, wounded, and embarrassed. Kate's confused, hurt, and still healing. Can they overcome their pride and uncertainty to delve into a relationship they both desire and yet refuse to acknowledge? During "47 Seconds" through "Headhunters"/Pre-"Always". Rated T for mild language.

Kate thought bitterly to herself, "They were supposed to be after me, leaving was supposed to keep Castle safe, but it had only made him a target." Not going to delve into the Dragon or the case more of a Castle/BeNckett/Alexis relationship story. NOW with new cover art by Detective Angie

One-shot sequel to 'The Plan'. Picks up about 16-18 months afterwards, and shows a little snippet of what life is now like for the dynamic duo.

Post Always. A few scenes from the 5x01 of my unspoiled imagination.

"Dispatch, this is thirteen x-ray thirteen! We need back up ASAP, we're at address-." Ryan's voice was cut off when a stray bullet hit the walkie in his hand. He let out a yelp and dropped the crumpled remains of the walkie talkie and looked at the crimson blood staining his palm. Kevin/Javier partnership

The real question in every relationship: "Do you trust me?"

What I think could happen between Scene 1 and Scene 2, because I just know there's more! SPOILERS for the PROMOS and Sneak Peeks!

From the video by yamakiluv. Castle is given an ultimatum: the file for Beckett's life. AU Future.

What if Kate had replied to Castle's 'Just like us' statement in 4x02 'Heroes & Villians' with more than 'Hmmm' What would she have said? Why would she have said it? And what would Castle do as a result? Spoilers for all episodes through 4x02 'Heroes & Villians.'

Beckett owes Castle 100 coffees. She also needs him to help her break down her walls. *Minor spoiler for KillShot and for the series in general.

It's two o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and they've yet to get dressed, have spent the entire day camped out on his overstuffed leather couch, watching movies and teasing each other mercilessly with fleeting caresses and innuendo laden comments. One shot. Complete.

She swore she'd protect him. She failed.

"Please, don't be sad now, I really believe; You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me." - Mayday Parade AU, fair warning; it's a tearjerker, but still has a sweet side to it.

"That's how all my stories end. With someone else dead." :: AU of Tick, Tick, Tick.../Boom!

How I see they scene between the morning after and the sneaking out sneak peeks will go. CONTAINS SPOILERS

Castle is trying to convince Kate to come see Finding Nemo in 3D with him with the help of Ryan. Pure fluff and for fun. Requested by Haven14. One shot.

AU: Beckett is a uniform on the Vice squad at the 12th. It's five years before the season one meeting. Cartographical sent me and Sandiane Carter a list of AUs she wanted to see. We were both so excited about Vice Beckett that we each wrote our own. This is mine. Thanks to garnetgivealittlelove for the cover art.

Castle is stressed and on the verge of giving up on Beckett. He heads out on a book tour. Wondering if it is too late, he tries one last time to step over the wall. Planning on a fun multi chapter story. Chapter 5 is in the realm of M...be careful!

"The thing that worries her the most is how Castle will react when he wakes up. He was mad at her only yesterday. They were done. Kate's chest tightens with sorrow and she turns a bit in his arms, gently, trying not to disturb him in his sleep." A morning-after fic, the morning after 'Always'. In part prompted by the S5 promo, so it's only *in part* spoiler-ish. Complete.

Elle adorait l'automne. Elle disait que pour commencer, les feuilles changeaient de couleur, puis elles tombaient des arbres et recouvraient les rues en manquant de respect à tous ceux qui venaient les balayer. Elle disait que c'était comme si la terre reprenait un peu de ce qu'on avait fait d'elle avec tous nos immeubles et nos voitures.

A week after the end of Season 4, Kate and Rick talk about what happens next, and Martha becomes embroiled in a mystery of her own, finding she needs help from a certain ex-cop and her writer son. My usual hiatus-infill story! Read, enjoy, review! Now complete, just in time for Season 5!

"What if Ryan and Esposito wanted to talk to Castle the morning after the night that changed everything? A morning after post-Always fic."

Kate Beckett woke up wrapped in the arms of Richard Castle. So much has happened in the past 24 hours. One shot set between Beckett waking up and her making coffee. No real spoilers, but based on the first sneak peek.

This is just a short wee drabble piece I wrote, not sure if it's going to go anywhere; haven't quite decided! Basically, Castle has fears and Kate tries to alleviate them.
