There isn't any formula or method. You learn to love by loving - by paying attention and doing what one thereby discovers has to be done. - Aldous Huxley. One shot. Complete.

This isn't so much a story as a series of one shot fics. All will be Castle/Beckett, and most will be angsty, drama, hurt/comfort, romance and fluff.

"I think we're going to try to take them through every element and almost kill them in any way possible. And then hopefully they'll get it." Collection of one-shots that attempt to get Castle and Beckett together by almost killing them. Yep.

She wanted him here with her, right now. But, she had already screwed that up for herself and that wasn't going to happen anytime soon, well at all, really.

"If you can hear me now, I'm reaching out to let you know you're not alone. And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell 'cause I can't get you on the telephone. So, just close your eyes, oh honey, here comes a lullaby." WARNING: Character death

Takes place after "47 Seconds." Rick said "I love you." Kate pretended not to hear it. Set to the song "Cry" by Kelly Clarkson, this is one way the story could have played out.

Castle seems distant and Beckett doesn't know why until she goes home and thinks about all that happened.

She knew the secret would have its repercussions when finally coming to light, but never in her wildest dreams did she think this would be one of them.

Castle and Beckett go undercover in a club and things get a bit out of hand when they get cornered in the bathroom. A twist on a well loved trope, if you will.

A past, lethal enemy returns to New York City strictly to cause harm and havoc. Ryan/Esposito, team, more mature themes, rated T. Critique is welcome and encouraged.

Post "47 Seconds". A cold winter day... yeah, I know, just bear with me... an unlikely accident and an angry Castle to the rescue. Need I say more? Rated M. One-shot.

Written because lauraahftw. P claiming to have a P. No. PWP. Disclaimer: Don't own.

It was like Demming all over again. Or was it? Inspired by rumors regarding 4x20 'Limey,' but not an AU for that episode. Set between 4x17 and 4x19, so all the stuff in '47 Seconds' hasn't happened yet.

Once more...yes, another post-47 fix-it. Because I think Our Heroes are actually capable of an adult conversation.

Super short ONE SHOT. A beautiful day in their lives. Some extra fluff to go through the day until the new episode airs. Enjoy!

Castle gets his revenge on Beckett. Sequel to my earlier fic "Cuffed Castle". Sorry for the long delay in posting this fic. THANK YOU to every one who has left awesome reviews, favourited and alerted my fic, it means a lot to me.

Spoiler Alert for 4x20 'The Limey'. I watched Sneak Peak 5 today...and so, this... Cue the red Ferrari. COMPLETE

She is his biggest downfall and she'd had him hooked ever since she knocked him back that very first time. Loving him scares the hell out of her, but now it's all or nothing. Kate/Rick. Based solely on the promo for '47 Seconds'

A one shot on Kate and Martha conversation , its basically how Martha feels - I SUCK AT SUMMARIES please review this is my first try

a Dash Companion second in Life series

Alternate title: "I think I love you." Kate is haunted by a bad 70's song; realizations and confessions ensue. Caskett.

Know it's been done to death but my take on Rick's emotions after finding out about Kate's secret.

It's not what it sounds like... or maybe it is... One shot, taking place sometime before season three. Part One of "The Kitten Tales" series

Kate and Rick the day after Monday's 47 Seconds episode. Aka; The Musings of a Frustrated Fic Writer. I hope it makes you laugh.

It's been a long week, and she's tired. One shot. Complete.
