I just escaped from possibly the most awkward date in the history of Earth, and I need to decompress. I brought ice cream. And wine. And cupcakes. 1x7, Home is Where the Heart Stops.

You Only Live Twice. The continuing adventures of Spy Castle and Beckett.

AU: Beckett is a uniform on the Vice squad at the 12th, five years before she and Castle actually meet in the show. Based on an idea of Cartographical - chezchuckles and I just liked it so much that we each wrote our own. Variations on the same theme, sort of.

an AU from Cartographical's list: What if Richard Castle was a spy? with special thanks to mjsofter for the cover art

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.

An M-rated interlude to "A Better Fate," a story co-authored by Sandiane Carter and chezchuckles.

Their thighs are aligned, the heat of his skin mingling with hers through the fabric of both their jeans and his heart thunders in his chest, her nearness an alluring draw that holds him captured. Winner of "The 12th Fan Awards 2013" for best Angst.

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

The title says it all. Co-authored by Sandiane Carter and chezchuckles. Spoilers for season four, but as you will see, quite a lot of it is. . .missing.

by Cora Clavia, Sandiane Carter, and chezchuckles. Fantasies become reality.

::SPOILER for Knockout:: Castle waits for Kate to wake up and imagines all the things he wants to say, all the ways she might love him too. Birthday fic for killmypatience.

...and One That Happened to Kate Beckett. Meta AU. Sometimes, even Castle needs a fic fix. Now complete.

Before Beckett and Castle, there was Beckett and Royce. Oneshot.

When you wake up in the morning, you never know if this might be your last. Kate is shot, and Castle is staying as close as he can get. A series-in-progress.

It all started with a book. Or, in which Castle gets in trouble but then he ends up with something even better than an apology. Castle/Beckett.

Conundrums, among other things - irony, hyperbole, conceit – and unrelated to literature: Rubik's cubes - are inherently intriguing to Richard Castle. Beckett/Castle, and how he's learned to read between her lines.

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.
