What's waiting will tear her apart.

She resolves to show him that he missed nothing, while all she missed was him."

Birthday fic for my darling KT, who actually asked for this. "I know, Castle, I know," she sobs, doesn't know what else to say, she understands, and this fire is tearing her apart. COMPLETE

"No, it's… okay. It's okay. I'm… glad you're okay." A post-ep/AU of cops and robbers, co-written by tombombadillo and closingdoors.

Beckett and Castle realize that her 'wall' is beginning to fall and they can finally see a future together. But nothing is that easy, especially with outside forces attempting to destroy them. While they are both determined to keep their family together, will living on the run tear them apart? Or should they just be more focused on staying alive? AU after Cops and Robbers.

"I love you, Kate. Present tense." In which Kate has a wonderment about Kyra. One-shot; set early Season 5.

post-ep/fill-in for 6x17 'In The Belly Of the Beast'. Kate makes her way back to him.

Post 6x17, "In the Belly of the Beast." All the warmth we were is shivering.

He has her pulled against his chest tight like he's afraid he'll lose her again if he leaves her alone. She doesn't mind; she welcomes it actually. The need to have him against her proves to her that she's still alive. He'll never have to read the note she wrote him and tucked away with her blood. He'll never have to know what it's like living without her. Post-ep for 6x17.

GC angst. He has this one last chance...

Co-authored by cartographical, chezchuckles, and muppet 47. Something of a post-ep for Recoil. 'As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.'

Superman always rescues Lois Lane, but who rescues Superman? SPOILERS. Pre-episode one-shot for 6x17 Into The Belly Of The Beast.

Castle and Beckett are together for almost a year when tragedy strikes. How will these two react when faced with new levels of despair and will the relationship they worked so hard to forge turn out to be too brittle to cope.

Warning: SPOILERS from the 6x17 promos. A head canon of what I wish will happen after 6x17 next week. After the ordeal Beckett has faced, Castle and Beckett head back to the loft to recoup and relax. A fluffy little thing I suppose.

"'He pushed me off a roof much like this one,' she added, as if she had read where his thoughts lay. He suppressed another shudder. 'I hung on with one hand when I heard your voice.'" A universe where 4x23 "Always" didn't end the way it did. One-shot.

Cal and Gillian know the truth. Sometimes it's just easier to lie.

Based in a world where there was no Caskett doorway scene at the end of Always. Instead, that night ended with friendship and John Woo movies. Would Meredith's visit during Alexis' illness push Castle and Beckett together or break them apart for good? Winter Ficathon 13/14. Prompt one.

I figured I'd start off with a classic unsolved mystery: the details of Kate's ice-cube trick. Just a glimpse at what it brought to my mind. Set in Season 6, but no spoilers. T for language and reasons that should go without saying. My first story, so, uh...cheers to that I guess. Anyway, enjoy.

AU. Sequel to 'Rise Above This' and you should read that first. After a disagreement with Morgan, Jim handles this year's anniversary of Johanna's death in a terrible way: he gets drunk. Consequences are immediate, severe and far reaching. As the saying goes, you always hurt the ones you love...

A post-ep for 'Under Fire' 6x11, immediately after the ambulance leaves.

A christmas present for my friend and #1 fan, Kristy. This is a story she requested that brings back one of season six's creepiest characters. Kate is abducted and it's a race against time to save her before her life is changed forever. In five parts. Mild spoilers for 6x09 "Disciple." Disclaimer: The characters and settings are not mine, they belong to Andrew Marlowe and friends.

"Castle opens the flaps and is greeted with a bunch of books. He's about to push it aside as well, when the cover art from one of the novels catches his eye. These aren't just any books, they're his books. Hail of Bullets, Deadly Storm, Nikki Heat, they're all there. Every book he's ever written hidden here amongst Beckett's things." Contains a spoiler from Heat Rises.

Post-ep for 6x9 Disciple. May end up being more - I don't know. Castle bears the burden of Tyson.

A/U version of "How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Call You Back". As in the original episode, Sam stops by Diane's after their ILY misfire, but the scene plays out just a bit differently.

Castle and Beckett finally get to have that trip to Bora-Bora. But not all goes as planned. Instead of sipping mojitos in paradise, they find themselves stranded on an isolated island. Cover Art made from collaboration with @dtrekker. 2013 Castle Ficathon Entry. Rated M for safety, though the bulk of the story is T-rated. COMPLETE.

A one shot post-episode piece for "Get A Clue." Beckett oversteps but someone has to say these things.

Being able to read each other just sucks sometimes.

Castle thought he knew how much he had to lose after Alexis was abducted, but the nightmare is just beginning. Back in New York, their lives have turned upside down in an instant and instead of being by Kate's side, her partner is in Paris. Becomes AU during Hunt. This is rated M because of a graphic description (not sexual content).

A throat clears from somewhere nearby but she doesn't move away. Not tonight. Tonight, she doesn't care. *Post ep for 6x04, Number One Fan*

"Because I can't imagine my life without you." -Valkyrie. Post ep for the two parter: Valkyrie and Dreamworld.

Because all he wants to do is see her, touch her, and as the distance pulls at him, he has to call to say he can't. Being apart. Separated in different cities is harder than he thought. Especially when life gets in the way.

'He had to know. It couldn't wait another day...' Post-Still imaginings with an AU slant.

Inspired by a fanvid by Half0utLoud and pe4alhar. It was supposed to be easy. A visit to a suspect and asking him some questions. Just a regular job. But this particular visit turns out to be anything but such for Castle and Beckett.

He never thought it could hurt like this. AU for 5x05, "Probable Cause."

They haven't spoken in three days. Not since the night they'd shouted at each other over the phone, the two hundred miles of earth between them fracturing, a chasm spreading wide and threatening to swallow them whole.

Sometimes the words we want to say merely linger between us, and we are left searching for a reason why they have yet to be spoken. A moment between 5x19 and 5x20

"I've got my eye on the door, Just waiting for you to walk in, But the time is ticking." Kate's been in DC for five months, it's Kate's Birthday, and Castle should have been there. Inspired by the song The Moment I Knew by Taylor Swift.

One of many ideas about a potential season 6. "Never once does he wake. She doesn't know what that says about them. She's not sure if she wants to know." Two-shot. COMPLETE.

"He brushes her hair back from her face carefully, doesn't want to wake her in case she'd gotten up at all in the middle of the night. His breath catches when he finds the dried mascara tracks down her cheeks, following the length of her jaw. He shouldn't be surprised. He's not surprised. But he'd hoped - He hoped she'd wake him if she needed him." Two-shot. COMPLETE.

Many a man has been led astray by a pretty face...

Five sneezes. Not that anyone is counting. Least of all Castle. Or, he wouldn't be, if they were those cute little cat sneezes Kate usually does. But these are not cute little sneezes. These are Kate's actually-sick sneezes. A collection of five chapters, detailing the times Kate has been sick and needed someone to take care of her. A chapter a day (kinda!) keeps the doctor away.

"I lied to you. We've hardly spoken in two days. And now..." Her voice wavers, and she shakes her head regretfully, hating that she's doing this to him. "That's not a solid foundation for the future, Castle." Entry for the 2013 Castle Ficathon. Complete.

A mysterious fruit basket, a question left unasked, and an unfortunate price to be paid. One action can change everyone's lives, even something as small as taking a bite of fruit. What happens when Kate takes that bite?

'He opened it immediately, a smirk playing on the corner of his lips, realizing that she had never moved away from the door, before he really looked at her, a wave of concern crashing over him.'

What Cal will do when someone he knows turns up on his doorsteps in the middle of the night asking for help? What is the reason behind Gill's long vacation?

The worst ideas are born out of drunken stupors - or are they?

Let's call this Rick Castle getting his catharsis and Kate Beckett asking a question of her own. Post-Watershed. It's not exactly. . .happy.

Consider this hiatus boot camp. Post-ep for Squab. "Castle, in case you weren't paying attention, we've just been tested. Eric Vaughn was sent to test us," she tells him earnestly. "By whom? God? The universe?" he scoffs, still clinging to the pretense that he doesn't know what she's getting at. "You don't even believe in that stuff." COMPLETE

A co-authored story by seilleanmor and chezchuckles. An argument between them causes Castle to give Beckett the silent treatment. References to Target/Hunt, Lives of Others, Squab, and Still. Watershed has not happened.

He'd had silly, fanciful daydreams about entwined fingers in the popcorn bucket- but that obviously wasn't going to happen." -A movie date conversation. One shot. Cover art by the awesome dtrekker.

When she got the call, she didn't expect it to lead to this. Season 5 AU.

"Eyes wide, Kate stayed still, watching his back and praying to a long-forgotten deity that he would just keep going. That he would be merciful and overlook the cries that poured from her lips without invitation. But Castle had spent more than two years pointedly not ignoring her and she supposed it was too much to hope for now." One-shot set toward the end of Knockout (3x24).

post-ep for Target/Hunt. Kate's side of the Welcome Home party.

In the end, we'll all end up at room temperature. "Hunt" post-ep.

Post-Recoil. If I were to be able to extend the episode by five minutes, this is how I would end it.

contains possible SPOILERS for February 4th's 'Recoil' (though I've only seen the promo that aired after the episode): Beckett and Castle have blinders on, but there's a better way out.

The murders in New York have sunk their teeth in, pulled them down and ever-drowning down.

When an unknown source threatens to break Gillian's trust in Cal, she's forced to see the truth through his eyes. Set in season 2, post "Exposed." Epilogue has been ammended as of 1/20/13. Enjoy!

"He narrows his eyes at Kate's back, frowning, a tinge of challenge still running through his veins, defiance clearly evident in his glare. She's obviously upset with him, but she's also being completely unfair. He's not the one who accused her of jeopardizing their relationship after all." Set somewhere starting S05.

"But while she has been wallowing in indecision, Castle has been suffering silently, forever hoping that today will be the day that she says it back. And now, because of Haikusday, a simple made up holiday, he has provided her with the perfect opportunity to finally put him out of his misery." A really fluffy Christmas fic that made my mom cry... Merry Christmas, Castle fandom!

"And then she's gone, a whisper of a memory as their fingertips slip apart and he watches her skate away, eyes shining bright with love and laughter as she silently promises to be back soon, a glimmer of golden curls beneath the moonlight." Just a little Castle and Beckett ficlet for Christmas time, takes place at the Rockefeller skating rink. I hope you enjoy!

A random home invasion or a calculated attempt at murder? Either way, Cal has to solve the mystery while helping his best friend heal.

It's been four hours since she's spoken to him. Four hours since her eyes went missing and it's crushing him. He doesn't know how to help. A prompt on Tumblr. One-shot.

"I thought I killed you." For Kaitlin, by request.

I think I'm afraid of being happy because whenever I get too happy something bad always happens —Charlie Brown

An AU situation where Cal and Gillian are in a relationship by the time the show started, and how some scenes/scenarios in the episodes may have been different...

She rips the paper from his hands with desperate strength, and tears it to shreds before he can read any more of it. Post Ep. 'Probable Cause'.

post-ep for Probable Cause.

It overwhelms her, at first. Episode insert for 5x04, 'Murder He Wrote.'

"So…" whispered Kate, a slight smile curving her lips and threatening to break wide open like the sun bursting free of a cloud, "you wanna talk about it?" she asked tentatively, looking up at him from beneath dark lashes. How the story might continue post-Always. The morning after...well, in my little world... If you find Ch1 a little OTT it does get better. COMPLETE.

For months she's been gone. Months in which Castle's been forced to believe that Kate Beckett was dead. Eight full months in which he's missed her, craved her, mourned her. Now she's standing on his doorstep, two coffees in slightly shaking hands and Castle's world collapses. Direct spoilers for 4x23 Always, but most probably AU from there.

It can never be enough, making up for all the time they've missed. She laughs, full and rich, shaking with it and it's infectious. He grins, pressing his forehead against hers as he watches the light fill her face. He lets the backs of his fingers graze her cheek, overwhelmed by her, by this, them-Everything. COMPLETE.

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

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.

She's been struggling to find the words for months, to tell him how much she loves and adores him, how happy he makes her. How she feels like a whole person when she's with him. How he fills the empty places inside her chest with his love and his smiles.

It has been a while since she has stepped foot in the office. :: Based on a prompt from pinktheatre on tumblr.

Post-Always, I imagine this will become completely AU when the show airs again. 'He allows himself to simply drink in the sight of them for a moment, ghosts of his past that have come back to haunt him. He has missed them so much, but hates them all the same for dredging up memories of the past that he's long since filtered from his mind.' COMPLETE.

There are only these truths for him: Someone wants Kate dead. Kate wants him. He cannot let her walk out his door alone.

A new case brings up repressed memories from Gillian's childhood that will irreparably tarnish the Lightman Group's previous notions about her past. Warning: Child Abuse

AU. What happens to Kate Beckett when the Dragon is slain - and she's charged with his murder?

"The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea." - Isak Dinesen :: AU, as if the events of 'Always' didn't happen.

"He was a part of her in every way, and she had finally opened her eyes to see he was always there, just waiting for her." Their night together after "Always"… I try to stay within canon based on Marlowe's hints at for the premiere.

Sometimes life isn't what it seems, but the damage done while they believed it? Well, that is never easily left behind.

post Always fic.

SPOILERS for Headhunters. "She's a little girl, she's a tigress, and she's a warrior. She's insecure and she's indomitable. She's everything." -Stana Katic on Kate Beckett, Parade Magazine March 16, 2012

He isn't afraid of Kate in the crosshairs anymore. Right now, Castle is more afraid of his partner behind a gun than in front of one.

Tumblr prompt from KC and twistymaven. Set a month or so after Kill Shot.

This is a story in three parts based on my three favourite Season 3 episodes: "Smoked", "Funhouse" and "Rebound." What's Cal trying to achieve by antagonising Gill? And when will it be enough for him? Last part up...

CASKETT. Post-ep for "Kill Shot". Beckett shares the reality of her scars with Castle.

New chapter is up! Takes place after S3E05 The Canary's Song. "Then, he turned his head and caught confusion, fear and pain in her eyes as she fell heavily to the ground."

He really has to wonder how it is that they end up in these situations. It's like they're magnets for near-death. Complete. Sequel: More Than Them.

Just a short drabble set during the events of 2.12 Sweet Sixteen. Just using the episode as a base for how Gillian's presence or lack thereof affects Cal.

He can make her forget she's a good girl... WARNING Ch.1 is STRONG M. Skip this chapter if its not your thing. I droped the rating as most of this is Strong T..atm.. This is also affectionately known as #FittingRoomTiems.Cal/Gill/Emily/Zoe.

An additional scene to wrap up Knights of the Scimitar. It's still open-ended but provides a little more context for what happened in the episode. Thanks for reading- reviews are appreciated!

Emotions are way out of control and close to exploding. Can Cal and Gillian find their way? Guess we're heading out of the angst now... Takes place post series finale. Disclaimer, yadda, yadda, etc, etc. Epilogue now up.

She could hear the panic in his voice and it made her heart break, but she couldn't do this anymore. Her heart was already too broken to continue the way they'd been doing the past few years.

Co-authored story by Topsy and chezchuckles. While Beckett has been struggling with PTSD, with becoming more, Castle has been struggling as well.

"And then it happened. He made a proposal, at least she was pretty sure it was him... He knew she wanted it, and he'd wanted it with her for years. So what was the harm in sleeping together – no strings attached. Just their little secret."

Cal and Gillian run into each other unexpectedly, on a train across Canada in the middle of winter. A train where some passengers are not who they appear to be and others are suddenly coming down with a deadly virus.

The Lightman Group comes into a lot of money, Cal & Gillian decide to treat themselves to a gift but they end up buying gifts for each other. Secret Santa fic for LornaCat!

I am terrible at summarys! Hmm, let's just say it's my own take on Audrey Niffenegger's clasic XD

A short OS set during "Kill Shot" 4x09 about Beckett and how she got drunk in her apartment.

Post-ep for Kill Shot. It's not a hundred cups of coffee but it's a start. COMPLETE

"Kate?" His confusion is laced with relief, because lord only knows what he was afraid of finding here. His hand is on her shoulder, heavy and warm. As soon as he sees her face his own crumples a little. "Oh, Kate." post ep. Cops & Robbers

Life isn't so easy with a sniper around. Very, very vague spoilers for 4x09, Kill Shot.

What happens when Gillian chooses to turn to her best friend for comfort rather than her husband?

A Dash Away Prequel. Chapters 95-99 should catch you up . Based upon geekygreek's idea of pinky fingers and the overwhelming call for backstory. Content warning for violence: This is what made her see him clearly.

It doesn't hit her until Monday when she walks by his office, and it's not his office anymore. :: After the Harvest Festival Ben goes back to Indianapolis. Written for Hiatus Fest

Cal and Gillian take on a high-profile case as Gillian struggles to deal with her feelings following Afghanistan. Cal/Gillian COMPLETE!

Coda for 3x01. "He is an expert in his field, and his field is truth. He wields that truth like a dagger, knowing every soft spot to slip it in where the most damage will be done. He is lethal, when the truth is cradled within his hands."

CURRENTLY ON HIATUS...C/G and E/OC but mainly Gillian-centric. Worlds collide when Gillian's past comes back to her haunt her. Cal's pride and credibility is put on the line and compromises their relationship. Rating for later chapts and some language.

Cal and Gillian - Callian. Three is a crowd. Someone will end up alone; as harsh as reality may seem. Someone takes your place, and then you fade away completely. You no longer even appear as a shadow.

A non-linear account of precisely why Cal has been acting the way that he has. Things aren't easy, anyway. They never have been. "I won't be held responsible; she fell in love in the first place."

"I don't believe in your happiness," he says.

Problems with a case and Cal is reassuring Gillian that the past is the past. I'm not really sure where this came from. Oh yeah. A song ; Thanks for reading.

Starts out as a post-ep to Canary's Song, but goes in a very different direction after that. Major Callian angst will be coming. Breaking my rule about posting WIPs so read and review to encourage me if you like this.

The instant he heard the ticking, he knew what was about to happen. And the first and only thought to flood his mind entirely was Gillian.

What would it take for Gill to make a change in her relationship with Cal?

Bad weather forces the Lightman Group to shut down for the day... of course Cal and Gillian spend it together. Just a bit of wintery fun!

"My school is having a Winter Carnival this year for charity, and Dad has to come, but you should go with him Gill! He'll hate every second of it, you know, but you'll make him have fun! He always has fun with you!"

Gillian's thoughts with a bit of Cal and Zoë thrown in. Set between 'Double Blind' and 'The Canary's Song'.

Things he'd consider doing to Loker, should never be crash-tested on Gillian; he'd made the solemn vow to himself. - This story is set directly after 'The Canary's Song'.

A stressful weekend for Castle and Beckett.

It's a wonder, really, that he hasn't caught on to that little bit of intel. No one smiles genuinely all the time. Gillian centric, Gillian, Cal, Alec Rating is for language

Following on from our first two S3 episodes. Cal is still being a jerk. Gillian's had enough. Everyone's starting to notice. Bad summary. Rated for safety. Now Complete

With a little help from Torres, Cal makes Gillian realize that being a good girl is not necessarily a bad thing.

Set post "Dirty Loyal". Emily notices the tension in her father and acts on the fear of losing Gillian.

Gillian is in trouble... Rated T for some mild violence.. Cal get's in trouble too and they have to race against the clock... Will they be in time before awful things will happen? This happens after the episode FOLD EQUITY! Has romance in it too!

After a tough case Cal needs to talk to someone. Who does he turn to and what will happen when he's called to participate further in the case?

A sudden intake of breath and he tore his eyes away from her. A shot at Cal and Gillian's history.

Post 2x15. What happens after Clara drops that bombshell at the end of the episode? Rating changed. Possibly prematurely but changed nonetheless.

Post-ep for Sweet Sixteen. Thought I'd make it a bit longer because, well, this is Cal, and she's basically the only one he trusts, so it can't go that smoothly, can it?

An epic fic summarizing 90% of the Lie to Me fics ever written. In less than 700 words.

C/G. Wouldn't they know if they were dating?

What if Cal and Gillian got married and Cal wanted to have a child but Gill was too scared to try again? How would they deal with their feelings? Who would end up getting their way?

"Smile when you're feeling sorrow, my dear. No one looks twice and you don't have to explain yourself." An angsty look into the psyche of Gillian Foster. Cal/Gil friendship.*Epilogue posted*

There are many lines in relationships, some should be crossed but some, like the one between love and hate can be dangerous!

Cal has taken on another charity case, and drags Gillian along with to sort it out. In the midst of the case, a strange man comes out of the woodwork, with an aim to intimidate Foster. Has Cal gotten them into trouble, and dragged her into it? Or...?

Adrian Monk and his fiancee Natalie Teeger stumble upon a crime that threatens their blossoming romance. Sequel to Mr. Monk and the Wishful Thinking. Chapter 4 up May 7th!

A continuation of Dangerous Game. Highly recommended that you read that first. Beckett tries to figure out where she wants things to go with Castle. Meanwhile, a serial killer fixates on Beckett.

When a distressed Emily knocks on Gillian's door on a Saturday night, how will Gillian handle it? And how will she deal with a very irate Cal who quickly follows?

New chapter up. Sorry for the confusion over Chapter 6. Cal wouldn't have made things that easy though...he's back now!

This starts with the plane ride home after "Fold Equity." Cal's bet pushed Gillian too far. Starts funny as he tries to process exactly what Ben and she did last night. Takes a very serious turn, especially after they get home.

The title is self-explanatory: just an experiment in character study. Mostly Gillian gen, with a touch of Cal/Gillian for good measure.

Wow, you are a hypocrite Cal.' Was supposed to be a Cal/Gillian one-shot but then I started to write...and we all know what happens then

CG Post-Tractor Man. Gillian is too quiet...

Following on from the end of Secret Santa - Here is my thoughts on how it should continue... A Real Callian

At the end of a very bad day, Cal helps Gillian grieve what she lost while they find a way to move forward.

Of course Gillian was angry. That had been his plan, hadn’t it?

The last few scenes of "Honey", and what happens afterward, viewed from Cal's perspective.

Post-Blinded. Cal is feeling guilty and Gillian is home alone. One seeks forgiveness, another, comfort. One-shot. PLEASE R&R! Title is sort of abstract, but if you understand where I was going with the fic, you'll get it ;
