Brennan isn't as forgiving when Booth fakes his death. I don't own Bones.

Least of all me."

I've loved Enver Gjokaj since Dollhouse and figured his character deserved someone special in his life. Peggy doesn't seem the kind to never recover from a lost love, and it's been long enough that she might consider spending time with a nice good looking fellow. Usually I don't post until I'm done, so this is a work in progress. Rated T for later chapters.

A fill for the prompt: "My tent just broke and I'm not about to sleep by myself in there now, so can you scoot over?". Castle, Beckett, and the rest of the team decide to take a trip to the woods. COMPLETE.

'It wouldn't be the first time she fell apart with the image of him flashing behind her closed eyelids, the illusion of his touch on her skin enough to send her shattering. Just the first time she allowed it to happen when she knew he didn't want her back.' An alternative ending to 4x20, the Limey.

Kate totally copped out at the end of season two, and this is what could have happened if Rick had called her on it. They spend the weekend vacation together and... well, you have to read to find out. :-D

A fight leads to all the walls coming down.

About a perfect getaway to the Thai island of Krabi. By the intrigue of the universe, Beckett and Josh meet Castle and Gina there. CHAPTER FOUR UPDATED.

Title is pretty self explanatory. Though I have to admit, it's just a fluff piece thinly veiled in plot.

What would Richard Castle do if he thought he was dreaming? Based on the series promo just a little shift in location …if you haven't seen it, go to youtube and search for Hugo Bread & Butter on ABC's Castle. The fic will make much more sense if you do.

Rick Castle, who kept her from freezing to death and held her hand in front of a bomb, prepared to die with her, wasn't who she was going home with. Kate's night after the end of Countdown.

5 weeks after the finale Kate has recovered enough to be on her own. She decides to leave for the Hamptons for a month much to the dismay of Castle. Though related, NOT another finale fic. Rating now changed due to lemons

Set post "Countdown" Beckett is ready to admit her feelings for Castle and they move their relationship to the next level.

It's 2012 and Castle and Beckett are attending Detective Ryan's wedding. Love is in the air... will our favorite couple add to the romance?

6x09 spoilers. First chapter: post 6x09. Following chapters will be AU. Brennan decides to make a conscious effort to change her life and move on.

Post-finale. Castle tries to put the pieces back together.

They didn't know about the pieces of her that her friend Javier Esposito had to help pick up off the floor and glue back together. Beckett&Esposito, Beckett&Castle

"This is not a verse dedicated to a special agent g-man, or a tale regarding a scientist and her lack of a pill plan . . . let me warn you, this content may seem a bit uncouth... For this rhyme is devoted to the SuperSperm of Seeley Booth."

She doesn't feel much of anything anymore. Post-Finale. Oneshot. Castle&Beckett.

"Always," means always, no matter what. Kate learns that Richard Castle is willing to be in her life, however she'll have him, and eventually, she realizes just how much of her everything he has become.

Kate celebrates her first Mother's Day with the Castles. Well, her first night-before-Mother's day.

Based on the SPOILER for Knockout released by TV Guide tonight, Castle and Beckett have a confrontation during the Finale. Here's how I think it might go.

Kate questions her relationship with Josh. Castle answers her questions about his marriages. And somewhere in between, Kate realizes that sometimes you just have to look at what's in front of you.

Twelve years ago, Johanna Beckett was found in an alley, and Kate Beckett's life crumbled. Since then, one day a year, she closets herself away from the world to remember and to mourn. Today, she has company.

A series of snapshots of Kate's relationship with the Castle Clan that we didn't get to see this season and could most likely be slipped in without altering the plot too much . Made up of Kalexis and Caskett and Martha moments.

Finn and Emma form an unlikely bond and find a little more than friendship.

Kate supposed it fit that the biggest step of their lives would be summed up in a gesture that would mean nothing to any normal adult.

A collection of one-shots of our favorite couple getting "caught in the act". FYI...sometimes things are not what they seem. Then again, sometimes they are!

Booth finds himself in a whirlwind of emotions after the break-up with Hannah, but there is another storm building on the horizon... My take on "Blackout in the Blizzard". As always: warmhearted, spoilerfee and M for a reason.

What you don't know can't hurt you. For Castle and Beckett, it might actually help.

Something happens to make Beckett reevaluate her relationship with Josh. Castle tries to do the right thing despite his own feelings.

This is my one-shot showing what I think should follow Brennan's declaration in the elevator that she and Booth should sleep together, as seen in the Promo for the Blackout in the Blizzard. Not going to happen in the show I'm guessing...

What happens at The Old Haunt stays at The Old Haunt.

AU What should've happened in 3x01! CASKETT! M rated so expect smut!

This is rated M for a reason, if you have an innocent mind and wish to keep it that way don't read it. Basic plot: Castle and Beckett end up in bed together after a night of drinking, it goes from there.

Booth told Bones that she's the standard, but he's been using a double standard to deal with her for far too long.

Post "Doctor in the Photo" fic. No matter how dark it gets and no matter how many times they screw it up, it's never too late. Not when two people are really in love.

Three months after Doctor in the Photo, Wendell sees a very sad Brennan at a bar. He tires to help her in her sadness. Oh and I guess you can say it is a bit AU as I don't really see it happening on the show, however it does follow cannonline up till 609

Post 6x09. "Bones," he says, "we had a place once. It was beautiful and fragile, and it was everything I ever wanted. No one else got that far with me but you, Bones. It was our place. And then we lost it."

Booth vaguely, bleakly, realizes the rain screaming down from the sky is fitting tonight, as he lies... What was going through his mind when Bones confessed? Spoilers for 6x09!

Just one touch. That's all it takes. Post 3.06 - 3XK.

There are some things you just don't say about a woman. Beckett, Esposito.

What if they had no choice but to confront each other? Post A Deadly Game, finale fix. No spoilers for season 3. Complete for now.

Sometimes the lines between what is real and what is pretend can be a little blurry. Especially to those standing so close to those lines. And once those lines are blurred, how easy is it to redraw them?

“I thought,” she gestures wildly between their bodies, “this… whatever it was, meant more to you than that, Will.” Will/Emma oneshot.

I'd like to say this has a story line, but it's 100% smut. And not necessarily good smut, but I love reviews! Seriously. Take M rating seriously.

What if instead of going to the school in Mattress, Will went to Emma? Wemma.

Beckett and Castle go undercover to bring down a drug kinpin. Beckett has to learn to pole dance, and Castle has to fight not to lose control. Chapter 5, 6 and 7 are up! I just loved all the reviews, and couldnt help myself :D

Its been a year since Will and Emma last kissed, a number of close-calls have built up yet neither has taken action because life keeps unexpectedly getting in the way. What happens when opportunity strikes in the most unlikely place?

From a prompt on Livejournal 8D

I honestly cannot think of a title. It's a crisis. Review if you can think of a better one. Basically Will and Emma being cute little beasts.

I never meant for it to happen. He certainly didn't either. It was unintended.

somebody to love? 8D My first Glee fic! Im so excited! Ok, this pairing is almost neck to neck with R/Hr as far as favorite couples go... read!
