Why not talk to him? It wouldn't matter what he thought of her, if he pitied her, because she never expected to see him again. But then she did. A pre-series meeting AU.

What do we want? More Stargate! When do we want it? Now! As part of a campaign to encourage MGM to revive Stargate with a new series that builds on the existing canon of SG-1, SGA and SGU, former Stargate showrunner Joe Mallozzi sketched out a rough concept for a new show, mentioning "General Carter" as being in command of the SGC. Needless to say, that was all it took.(S/J alert!)

"What would you do if it was the last night of your life?" He knew what he would do. He'd do what he hadn't done before the bomb, what for long, desperate, gruelling and agonised moments he'd thought he would never have the chance to do. Two shot. First chapter T. Second chapter M.

After the fallout from Miranda, Inara is back on Serenity but she and Mal are still keeping up the pretense that they don't have feelings for one another. With Christmas approaching, Kaylee decides that the time has come to give them a little nudge in the right direction.

Twelve weeks. All Kate Beckett needed to do was survived twelve weeks as the assistant to the surly, unkind, and downright unpleasant writer. The position was temporary, so she could make it. She had, after all, faced far worse than Richard Castle…or had she? Caskett AU

A story in response to the following prompt: S1 - Beckett has to attend a family gathering (wedding, reunion, etc.), something that takes place over a few days. Her distant family's always been bugging her about finding "Mr. Right" so she ends up taking Castle as her boyfriend - cute awkwardness, closeness, feelings ensue.

Post Knockout (3x24) AU- If his feet were faster, if his reaction was quicker that day... much would have been different. An emotional take on if Castle had been just one second faster that day in the cemetery, and had taken that bullet. (COMPLETE W/ EPILOGUE)

Set during 4x01 "Rise". AU from the bookstore signing scene. One-shot. COMPLETE

Just some established Mal/Inara smut. Set between the BDM and SLOTW #1.

"She can't get the image out of her head: the way Castle had looked at her when she walked across the bullpen earlier tonight wearing that strapless black gown." Set during "The Limey."

"The call comes at nine in the evening. They've had nothing, literally nothing, not a single, solitary lead, and then suddenly, everything moves so fast, it makes her head spin." Spoilers for the - gasp - 6x23 finale. Enjoy. Chapter 35.

"And the love in his eyes, the lilt of it in his words that catch her heart once more, wrap around her in the way that warms her cheeks and has her lilting towards him once more, catching his lips for a final kiss and her mind runs wild with her glorious love for this wonderful man." A reflection upon the meals that brought them together. For Lindsey.

Mal doesn't know what happened last night to leave him waking up next to Inara in a luxury suite, but he expects the fallout afterwards to ruin things between them. He's right about one thing, their relationship is never going to be quite the same.

'They're all in pairings, cut into halves, and if this is a study into separation anxiety, then it's definitely working. Even though Castle technically isn't her other half.' An AU version of 8x12, 'The Blame Game', set in season 3.

She doesn't deserve him, but oh how grateful she is to be loved by him. [A Post 8x08 oneshot.]

"…Give thy worst of thoughts/The worst of words." -Othello, Act 3, Scene 3. After Castle disappears, the only thing keeping Kate Beckett afloat is her conviction that Richard Castle is alive.

Rick doesn't want to wait. He wants her. He wants a white dress and a wedding license and Kate Beckett to become Kate Beckett-Castle (because he knows, without asking, that she'll never give up her maiden name.) A post-episode scene for 6X11 'Under Fire'. One-Shot. Complete.

It wasn't planned, wasn't a date, but when he'd shown up looking striking in his suit and with his arm empty, she'd gravitated to him like she always did, her whole body orienting toward him as if he was her shining beacon in a dark, starless night.

Winner of "The 12th" Fan Awards 2013 for best M-rated fanfic (under 10,000 words).

"Mother?" For a split second her stomach drops. She knows that tone. It's the tone her five year old used when he wanted to get out of bedtime for the umpteenth time in a night, the tone her sixteen year old used when wanting to borrow the car keys; the tone her now fully grown son uses when he wants to ask something that she might not necessarily want to answer.

"It would have been over," he agreed. "But would that have been a satisfying ending?" Post Recoil... features couch cuddling.

Castle and Kate finally get to the Hamptons for Memorial Day. "His face glowed with that infectious, boyish pride that she had once found so annoying and now was completely enamored by. My how things change, she thought." Reviews much appreciated!

Fun, flirty "Murder He Wrote" post-ep. "She is wearing a dress. And not just any dress—no, some red and white clingy, flowy, dotty number that cinches at her waist and flares out in a little skirt, and oh God it's a little skirt, and her hair is down and her makeup is softer and she's switched out her jewelry and since when does Beckett wear bangles anyway?"

A one shot, Rick paints a portrait of Kate on their last night in the Hampton's. Takes place right after 5x04. I thought we could all use a little swooning before the events of 5x05 take place.

Esposito said pancakes are an edible way to say, "Thank you so much for last night." Kate's not sure they could ever say enough.

"They truly are a match. A perfect messy match." Based on the 4x23 ALWAYS Promos and spoilers. Yes, this is my take on THAT possible scene. Its pure PWP and NC-17. If you are spoiler-free and NC-17 is not your thing, please, run away.All others - welcome
