OS: THE Lanie/Beckett talk; Beckett invites Lanie, out of the blue, cause she "needs to talk".

After the murder of a toy shop owner uncovers some Christmas coincidences and other bizarre twists, our favorite characters find themselves wondering how a seemingly simple case could put them into a situation they never saw coming. Some Caskett romance

the truth comes out :

She has resolved forget. Her dad says she's in denial. Not willing to face the reality of her near death experience. "That's not like you, Katie," he says. "You don't stick your head in the sand. You fight for the truth." And he's right. But he thinks she's hiding from the shooting. She's not. She's hiding from him. Castle. Post-Knockout/Pre-Rise

She seems to realise her mistake the moment the words leave her lips.

No cats involved. Just nicknames. Specifically, cat-related nicknames that neither Castle nor Beckett approve of.

Neither of them will be able to look at Beethoven the same way again.

Beckett hates award shows. Well, until Castle changed her mind, anyway.

Ah, weddings. A time of love, a time of hope and joy, a time for remembering just how annoying your family is, a time for… um… where are Castle and Beckett?

Lanie is Beckett's best friend. Best friends share things. But even Lanie has her limits…

Castle loves his mother. But Castle also loves Beckett, and he has his priorities.

At least a limousine has class.

My take on the Kate/Josh break up that we didn't get to see.

One night of helping a red-headed girl with her portfolio changes a lot about Kevin Ryan. Especially his views on the young Twenty-one year old.

Sequel to Falling Over Again.. Ryan and Alexis embark on the next adventure of their relationship. But when secrets are brought up from the beginning of the relationship, things take a turn.

A lone droplet of water slides from where he placed it on her neck down into the dark recesses of her collar in a slow decent and she wonders how soon she'll be able to return home to her air conditioning and a cold shower.

Life imitates art imitating life? Eh, it's all way too meta. Oneshot.

Spoiler 4x11. Castle organise un enterrement de vie de garçon pour Ryan avec toute l'équipe.

In which a flimsy excuse gives Castle four whole Saturdays of Beckett-time, leading a friendship to deepen and the embers of love to kindle.

She uses the surge of chemicals as a balm and as an analgesic. Delights in the tingle in her fingers, the heady rush in her forehead, behind her eyes. It blurs her vision and numbs the pain.

What happened after 2x24 :D

Definitely AU. Watching the two people she pushed away as they walk out of her life, she may come to realize that they may be what she needs the most.

Castle and Beckett are stranded and need a place to stay. Set sometime mid to late season four, before any secrets come out, but there are no spoilers.

Kate Beckett only has so many pieces.

One part with some humor in it :D
