Easy Rider reviews
Officer Kate Beckett arrested Rick Castle for naked horse riding. Some years later, she met him again...and also met a glorious black stallion. Of course, she had to ride the stallion. Everything was going perfectly - until it didn't. AU, set in S2. CastleHalloweenBash2024

Christmas Spirit reviews
Christmas, Beckett thought firmly, was humbug. It encouraged over-consumption, bratty behaviour, and unpleasantness – not to mention the migraine-inducing properties of tinsel, twinkling lights, or shining stars. Castle, of course, had other ideas. As did the blasted brainworm. Two chapters of Christmas Caskett.

Familiarity reviews
"The damn cat was staring at him again. Every time he came around, the cat fixed him with a deadly stare before she decided she would deign to acknowledge him. Castle thought back to the first time he'd been allowed into Beckett's apartment, and had met, much to his surprise, a small kitten." Fluffy Hallowe'en fun. CastleHalloweenBash2023

A Glass, Darkly reviews
"Beckett stared at the street camera footage from a cold case, wincing every time she moved the mouse. Her arm hurt. Really, really hurt, and the blood and fluid was soaking through her makeshift bandage. It hadn't hurt last night, or any time before they'd closed the sniper case. She'd wrapped it up, taken Advil every morning, and never felt a thing." Castle Ficathon 2023

(Not) Lonely this Christmas reviews
"Usually, Richard Castle loved Christmas: the glitter and sparkle, gift-giving and good food, presents for everyone around him, and most of all, a close and loving (if somewhat weird) family. Usually. This year, Christmas held no appeal at all, and he knew exactly why." An AU pre-series Christmas meeting. Castle Ficathon Winter 2022.

L'Inconnue reviews
"Kate Beckett was not, most emphatically not, a ghost. For a start, she wasn't dead. And just because she could quietly and unobtrusively dissolve into a little swirl of sparks, didn't mean she was ectoplasmic. She wasn't. She was entirely solid, most of the time."

Better to Give reviews
"Kate Beckett, despite all appearances to the contrary, was not, in fact, the Grinch.

Hunted Down reviews
"Hallowe'en was not a time for stupid masks, costumes, parties, fake fears, or candies.

Castle didn't think 'laughingstock' was what Beckett would be. More...um...pin-up. And he'd have a set of the pictures for his very own. If he couldn't have the real thing – and she was as unobtainable as ever, which was just not fair – then at least he'd have some really good pictures. Three shot.

A Gamblin' Man reviews
"If she hadn't had that thrice-damned third whisky she wouldn't have bet more than she could really afford to lose, or indeed have got into the poker game with him at all." M-fluff. All characters belong to Marlowe, ABC, et al.

Cherry Pie reviews
' "I like brunettes," Castle murmurs, insinuatingly. "I like writers," Beckett purrs.' An alternative story as to what happened during, and after, the dinner scene in 2.14, The Third Man. Three shot, sheer fluff. PWP.

Timepiece reviews
Castle's had a few watches, down the last few years. Beckett has one watch. It has, according to her, been hers for the last five years. He's never seen her wear another. And now it's in pieces in her wrecked apartment.

Kitten reviews
This is not a place where St Nicholas would distribute presents, though it might be where his demons let off steam. Danger abounds here: hot, heavy and welcome. This is a club where dreams can come true. Of course, dreams should only be a one-time experience... See CH1&3 A/N for Warnings Before Reading and note M-rating. Castle belongs to ABC/Marlowe.

Will you be strong enough (to catch me when I fall for you)? reviews
"She can't stop looking at his hands, and remembering how he'd grasped her wrist and stopped her – stopped her – drawing her gun; and that one subsequent instant of hesitation turning to decision and the sharp grip and flex as his mouth had come down on hers." Rated T - but very strong T.

Bad Medicine reviews
"If he'd gone home when he'd really started to feel awful rather than sticking it out until everyone went home, and if he'd not gone in this morning when he felt like hell but wouldn't admit it – well, maybe Beckett wouldn't have been driving him to the doctor now."

Structural variations reviews
Until he'd met her, he'd never really considered the infinite possibilities and subtle modulations of women's underwear. Until he'd met her, he'd never properly appreciated lingerie at all. Two shot, fluff.

Salient reviews
"He's beginning to think she remembers far more than she's saying. He's beginning to think that she's missing because she's at medical appointments: more than just physical therapy appointments.

What's love got to do with it? reviews
A day spent in his company gives her a bad headache and an almost overwhelming desire to hit him. Or shoot him. But under it all she can feel the current tugging at her. Because he's sexy in the bad-boy way that's always turned her on. Season 1. In the beginning, Marlowe created Castle and Beckett. I own nothing.
