  • Chasing Nirvana

    AU. Two years after model Grace Beckett uses her twin sister, Kate's, name in a one-night-stand with mystery novelist Richard Castle, things get complicated when the real Kate Beckett brings Castle in for questioning in a murder.

  • Unwritten: The Rain On Your Skin

    A follow-up "Unwritten" companion. AU. They had both made their peace with the possibility that this all one day could end, even though both prayed every night before they closed their eyes for one day more in paradise.

  • Tab A, Slot B

    Castle let out a half laugh. "I swear, we must be getting old, this never used to be this difficult. We could do three... four... five in a row before with no problem." A One-Shot.

  • Riptide

    "I was drowning, Castle, when we first met. The water was rushing up, the tendrils of a riptide curling around my ankles, threatening me as I flailed helpless, unprepared." Warning: angst, tragedy, character death. An interpretive experiment in writing. One shot. Complete.

  • Closer Than They Appear

    AU prompt fill: Chauffeur for mafia hitman/woman. Sometimes Castle wondered how he'd managed to find his way into this world. It had been a mistake, a miscalculation that had led him here to begin with. He had gone to a guy for a favor for his first novel, his only novel. A few months later that favor had been called in. Then she waltzed into his life.

  • Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place

    AU one-shot based on the Tumblr Prompt from toomuchwineornotenough: KB is a struggling single mom of 2 boys working part time at a pizza place to make ends meet. Castle starts buying pizza daily, then bringing her coffee every morning.

  • Only the Devil Fears Not the Reaping

    Post-ep for Reckoning. She has never been a particularly vain person. She knows she's pretty. She's been told it enough times. But it's never been something that she's focused on. It's just been part of her identity. Until now.

  • Baby Steps

    AU. Based on prompt from Tumblr- Castle is Beckett's physical therapist. When he had read "stabbed in the back", he had imagined a punk of a kid who had gotten on the wrong side of the law, not a gorgeous young woman from a well off family sporting a Stanford sweatshirt. A story in three parts.

  • What You Became to Me

    It had been an accident, a mistake. It had shown all over her face the morning after, but he couldn't bring himself to regret it, not the act at least, despite the circumstances. ThankYouTerri Prompt fill #48.

  • Moby

    ThankYouTerri prompt fill for Hope (tshlw). Kate's eyes narrowed into slits as she looked back at the woman who was openly ogling her husband's rear. She looked vaguely familiar, and that God-awful nickname "The White Whale"; she had heard that somewhere before...

  • A Rhapsody in B Minor

    There was something about the strength, the power, the utter fearlessness of the hunk of metal she was straddling that never failed to make her feel invincible. And after this, what could arguably be called the second worst week of her life, she needed to feel more than just merely alive. A one-shot set the summer between seasons 2 & 3.

  • Becoming Superman

    Superman always rescues Lois Lane, but who rescues Superman? SPOILERS. Pre-episode one-shot for 6x17 Into The Belly Of The Beast.
