"She isn't here, Mr. Castle. Don't you want to protect her? Isn't that what all of this is about?" AU from "Always"

S6 opening fic. Mild spoilers. "Javi, I can't come back. I have my work here and…" she sighs, lowering her voice. "We agreed on a break. I just—It's too soon," she tells him, embarrassed to admit what a screw-up she's made of everything; the fairytale romance so many people were gambling their happy ending on turned to ordinary shit by her hand.'

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.

It floats across her mind, her history. Her past. The reasons why she is what she is and why she can no longer be who she was. Why Kate Beckett disappeared and Lone Vengeance was born. AU.

Post-ep for 5x22. I liked it, so sue me. Spoilers for 5x22 and 5x17

A chapter a day. A holiday fic. Assume Season 5 spoilers.

Kate Beckett tries to work through her demons by writing them down in a journal.

"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.

*Finally Complete!* When she woke that morning, she'd been filled with joy and hope and the knowledge that they had their whole lives in front of them. She knows this for a naïve dream when she wakes up that night to blood on her hands and a gun to her head. S5 speculation.

While Castle and Beckett are investigating a case involving a serial killer one of their lives is threatened. This time will the impending danger be enough to make them both admit how much they love each other.

"Briefly, he wonders why he isn't blindfolded. The bastard wants Castle to see this-what he's planning to do to her." AU. Between "Undead Again" and "Always" Chapter 4 now up.

Kate struggles with being back on duty while Castle is determined to help her break down her walls. When Kate has another accident, will it be enough to finally made her realize it's time to let Castle in? Season 4 fic but spoilers for the whole series.

Saying she was sorry was necessary, but it's not enough. She still needs to say she loves him. There are so many ways it could happen. A series of unconnected one-shots with ways she can say the words. MULTI-AUTHOR

My take on the season 3 finale. Castle refuses to leave his partner's side. Beckett has to fight for her life and who better to help her then the man who would have taken a bullet for her.

Kate needs comforting and Castle is willing to do ANYTHING to help a friend. Caskett smut. Plot may eventually develop, but not soon.

From the living room to the bedroom. Post Always. 3rd and last chapter.

He doesn't know what to do with all the left over emotion. Anger and relief. Sheer joy and terrible, aching fear. Season Three AU. Complete.

She's prepared to wait. As long as it takes. He waited three months and still took her back. She owes him at least that much. Post 47 Seconds.

She slides down to the floor, curling her arms around her legs, her cheek resting on top of her knees. She is not leaving until he tells her what the hell is going on with him.

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.

He forgot about Valentine's Day. Oneshot.

She knows it's not the fall that hurts but the sudden stop at the end. For her, the descent is no less terrible than the crash. But at the bottom, at the end, she realizes there is no place to go but up. So she rises. Now complete, with epilogue.
