What if it was Castle's voice Beckett heard calling for her while she was hanging from the edge of that building after all? An alternative take on 4x23, 'Always'. One shot.

Castle surprises Beckett for their anniversary. A two-shot future fic, written for Castle Pornado. M-rating for the second chapter.

"She should have gotten drunk and crawled into his lap ages ago. What had she been thinking? She would just have to make up for it now." A smutty AU post-ep for "The Limey."

'He wants her. He wants her so much, it's naked and gleaming in his gaze, but he thinks he can't have her and she has to fix it.' Set post 4x21, 'Headhunters'. For the #CastlePornado.

Set during 4x19: "47 Seconds." Goes AU after Castle overhears Beckett tell Bobby Lopez, "I was shot in the chest and I remember every second of it."

A collection of small moments, mostly inspired by pictures or other graphics, within Castle and Beckett's emotional journey from friends to lovers. Each chapter is an unrelated ficlet, and the ratings and genres will change chapter to chapter, but I will include those notes at the top of every ficlet. This collection is rated M, but several of the chapters are not.

It'd been one of the more bizarre phone calls she'd ever received... AU post-ep for episode 4x20, 'The Limey.'

She wanted one night of fun, one night to lay down her burdens, and he looked like exactly what she wanted. One-shot smut and fluff. PWP.

"I'm telling you, we need a dog." Post-ep of sorts for 8x16, 'Heartbreaker'.

'She just wants to feel anything other than the jumble of emotions she's been mired in all day.' A slightly AU episode insert for Fidelis Ad Mortem, in honor of Castle Fanfic Monday.

'Martha is right. This really can't wait another day, wall be damned...' Castle and Beckett get a nudge in the right direction, courtesy of his mother. An AU Cops and Robbers ending in honor of Castle FanFic Monday.

After two more close calls and the beginning of a confession, Kate can't deny her feelings for Castle any longer. Still, diving into something new with her best friend and partner isn't as easy at she'd like it to be. This is a journey through the end of season three and how the C/B relationship might have developed if Kate had broken up with Josh after Countdown.

She wakes to a curious numbness in her right leg and a mouth full of cotton. One Shot, complete. Posted for Castle Fanfic Monday.

Kate runs into Josh when she and Castle are engaged and Josh reflects on Kate and Castle's relationship. Some fluff to get through this mini-hiatus. One-shot set in early S6.

'This isn't an adventure, it isn't fun. It's a nightmare. They're being hunted like foxes and there is no other option, no way to fight, to win. They can only run.' An AU twist on 6x22, Veritas. For Nadia.

In which our protagonist stumbles across a stranger on the prairie and discovers more than she could ever imagine. (Just my idea of what Amy's fanfiction from episode 8x14 [The Troll Manifestation] would have been in its entirety.) AU - COOPMELIA #1

She wanted him. She wasn't supposed to want him. He was her partner. Castle was her partner. Based off of the SVU fic "Ropes" by MaddyM.

He was slipping away and it was her last chance to grasp at the relationship they could have, if only she could stop tripping over her fear. Could she make her feelings clear through one more phone call? This is the final part of the "If I..." trilogy and will make the most sense if you've read "If I Had Stayed" and "If I Could Be There." Starts at the end of "Undead Again" (4x22).

He can't stop thinking about her mouth. (mid-season three)

Enchanted by the wedding they'd just attended, neither Castle nor Kate want the night to end. While they both know she's not ready for everything she could have, another phone call allows them to continue moving forward. This is a sequel to "If I Had Stayed," but you don't have to read that first. Takes place after "Til Death Do Us Part" (4x11).

She's not quite ready for the relationship they both want, but she allows them this big step forward. After the day they'd had, how could she not? Takes place after Cops & Robbers (4x07), once they're both in the privacy of their own homes.

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

In that one moment, he knows he's ruined.

"I needed something to lose myself in. A place to hide." She lifts her head, looks up at him. "I don't want to define myself by the things that I've lost anymore, Castle. I don't want to hide."

They make everything a little sharper. Oneshot.

"As much as I love our friends, please don't ever make us share a cabin with them again." Castle plans a group vacation with Kate, Ryan, Jenny, Esposito, and Lanie, but seems to forget that Kate can't be as uninhibited when they're confined to such a small space. In fact, she's awful at being quiet, but Castle is willing to help her try. PWP set almost any time in season 5.

Kate stumbles across a secret - no wonder he'd been so angry at her after she'd avoided him all summer - and reason comes from an unlikely source. Complete.

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