Season 2 finale AU. Lanie sees the disaster happening as Castle leaves with Gina. She talks to Beckett, then goes behind Beckett's back to stage an intervention. Life, love, cases, crises, etc. follow.

A short spate of Caskett foolishness

It's Castle's birthday, and one of his gifts is that his little girl is moving back home…without Pi in her life. He didn't think he could be happier. (Very AU after the May 3 episode and finale. LOL One of those stories that was intended to stop around chapter 3 or 4 but wandered off on its own.) Involves family, some excitement, and so much fluff I should be ashamed.

Post 'Teen Spirit" Rick, Kate, and Principal Duncan. New respect and old memories.

The rest of the conversation after "Dressed to Kill" - Short and fluffy

The rest of Thanksgiving after the costumes. Pure, unadulterated, shameless holiday fluff. The entire new family at the table.

Post "Disciple"

Post 6x07 Castle and Beckett begin to see a little progress with Alexis, and Castle makes a little effort to meet her halfway.

Post "Time Will Tell" Castle goes to Kate for comfort.

And yet another post "Need to Know." Understanding and fluff.

Starts at a scene from "Recoil" that I'd missed the first time I saw it. Gates overhears Beckett trying to get a confession, and telling the suspect what Bracken has done to her. Story starts there, and wanders into AU. Uses a couple of deleted scenes found on the S5 DVD's. Romance, drama, family, angst, fluff, etc. in varying degrees.

Around the case they're working on, Castle and Beckett discover that Ryan and Jenny are about to buy a house; and Castle remembers how much he owes Ryan.

Kate hides something important from Castle again, but with better results this time.

Castle's dad genes kick in to help Kate after an injury.

Fluffy. A bad day at work gets better...after the surprise is over. Rated T to be on the safe side

SPOILERS for Watershed. Martha speaks her mind to her son, and Jim similarly speaks to his daughter. Kate hears Castle's new perspective after his question at the swings and they actually talk.

Another post-"Squab and Quail" story. Massage happens, but conversation does, too.

Shameless post birthday party fluff. (I probably should apologize.)

Post - The Wild Rover. The conversation after the kiss. Productive fluff?

About two weeks after Rick and Alexis are home from Paris, Castle has an unexpected guest.

Another post-Hunt story. The first day back at home.

Pre-Target family fluff - Rick, Kate, and Alexis

A conversation between Castle and Beckett, and a decision after Meredith left - followed by another between Castle and Alexis.

A post "Always" story. Rated T. Rick & Kate work at their new relationship as well as the mess surrounding Maddox, injuries, suspensions, resignation, Gates, cases, Smith, deals for Kate's life... Love, Angst, Family, Hurt/Comfort, Cases, Fluff & some of Castle's past.

Post "Probable Cause" Castle and Beckett are getting through the aftermath of Tyson's mayhem.

Some of the evening after Kate appeared at Castle's door on Christmas Eve. Post Secret Santa.

Alexis is home for the holidays, her first extended visit home since she moved into the dorm at Columbia...and since Rick and Kate became a couple. Rick, Kate, and Alexis

Ryan and Esposito are in a betting mood. Castle, Beckett, Ryan, Esposito, and Captain Gates. I like Gates, but this was written when she was new and not making herself popular.

While they work on a new case, Alexis' recent involvement with the twelfth becomes the catalyst for members of the team and the Castle family to view one another in a new light. New cases, romance, family and the twelfth.

A new outlook for Castle and Beckett, to give them a little help in facing the ugliness it looks like Sophia is ready to rain down on them. Won't happen, but wishful thinking can be fun.

A chance encounter settles some remaining dust. One-shot

Time: Between Christmas and New Year's. Relationship changes between Rick & Kate. Romance, family, fluff, a short case and a promise from an unexpected source. Chapters finished: will be posted as they grow less offensive to the grammar/punctuation gods.

Another look at "the conversation" when Kate's anger allows her mouth to work without permission from her mind. Anger/Angst/Working it out/Fluff Some spoilers for season 4 up to "Cuffed"
