It's June 1999—Kate Beckett is leaving Stanford behind on her Harley Softail, the loss of her mother still a fresh wound on her heart, while Rick Castle, fresh off his first best-seller and a brutal break-up, is searching for new inspiration on the open road. When girl-meets-boy on Historic Route 66, it might just change both their lives forever.

Bellatrix and Hermione play a game in the forest. Shamelessly PWP smut.

Her favourite author just bought her a drink? Shut. The. Front. Door. What if Castle and Beckett met five years earlier?

The last of my series about Gina. How did those in NYC handle the events of Paris.

"This woman could be anyone. He could've seen her before, or multiple times, and not have known it was her, the one with the voice that's captured his kid. And him." AU prompt fill. Alternatively titled "Kate Beckett sings 90s hits" probably.

Completely AU. What if Rick and Kate were about the similar age and had met at college? What if they held the same chemistry they constantly fought? What if Bracken didn't want to wait 10yrs before trying to eliminate a loose end. What happens when Rick's and Kate's paths collide 10yrs later. [Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Lost and Fringe fans will notice crossovers and similllarities]

EDIT COMPLETE: Kate Beckett started her job as a detective for a few weeks now. It's the Christmas after her mother's murder. She and her colleagues go to a club where she runs into the person who helped her through the first months after her mother's murder, through his books. She meets The Richard Castle. Romance,Drama, Hurt/Confort for later chapters NOT A SONGFIC!

She was naïve to believe that their relationship would be easy. She was different, and that was the problem. AU thank you to dtrekker for the lovely cover art.

AU. An alternative Castle/Beckett meeting. What if Beckett had been the arresting officer in that incident with the police horse. "Richard Castle you are under arrest for theft of a police horse and public nudity." Beckett glared up at the naked man sitting atop her horse.

Kate, Castle, balls, sticks and a pool table…enough said; pure Caskett fun!

Kate slowly flexed her body, from her head to her-Tail? Crap! She had a tail! A tail! "MEOW!" Potential spoilers through season 3.

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.'

When something happened to Alexis while on her College Campus she calls Kate for help Alexis&Kate bonding maybe a little Caskett mush.

Eventually some lessons from your past come back to haunt you, sometimes they can be learnt from. Even the biggest things grow from small seeds. The story of the fall and rise of a relationship. When things are just meant to be, they happen, no matter how epic the struggle to resist.

A/U It's definitely not love at first sight. Prickly, aloof and strait-laced Kate Beckett isn't what Rick expected when he hires someone to protect a young Alexis. She's all business while he's all about the play. Shallow, irresponsible and a playboy is how Beckett would characterize her latest employer. But sometimes first impressions can turn out to be wrong.

There were so many things he wanted to say to her but that wasn't a part of their relationship. So he wrote her letters instead, hid them away, never intending for her to read them. Until one day, Kate stumbled upon them by mistake. Complete.

Chapter 28. Life goes on and Kate discovers magic is real.

*Kate has been kidnapped* by an underground sex trafficking ring. Castle's trying to save her. This story is on the dark side as it will have light torture, light bondage, voyeurism. No BDSM / No rape. Strong Rating. *This is my personal favorite story*
