'The news they just got was huge and life-altering and her silence about it is becoming a little unnerving.' Set a few years after the end of season 8, Castle and Beckett have their lives turned upside down by an ultrasound, and discuss a certain time traveler's eerily accurate predictions. Pure fluff.

"We've had 20 years and we'll have 20 more and I don't care if you run for senate or if you retire or if all your hair falls out and we're arguing over whose pillbox is whose. I don't care. All I've ever wanted is to grow old with you, Kate Beckett." Not really an 8x22 post-ep, but Kate Beckett has to age eventually. One-shot.

Castle knew his daughter was just like her mother during his first meeting with the principal. Post Season 8.

Reece has been injured while playing in the park - Kate's motherly instincts kick in. Set 2 months after the Series Finale's "7 years later" segment. ONE SHOT.

When she hears the balcony door open and can't help the smile that takes over her face, she knows that in this moment, it's right. A quick insert/post ep for 8x22 to fill in some of those 7 years

Some of the moments we didn't see in the finale.

Just a short little thing that I thought up earlier. I loved the finale ending, but I will most definitely miss Castle. Thinking about their happily ever after will tide me though.

She wants his hand back, as silly as it sounds. She can't seem to function with it. It's her lifeline, her comfort. It always has been, even in the beginning. Even when she fought tooth and nails against her feelings. A post 8x22 Crossfire one-shot

A post finale episode- Beckett makes the hardest decision of her life.

"She wakes to a hazy world, her thoughts blurred at the edges, her vision distorted and darkened with spots of black, the beeping sound that reaches her ears as distant as the voices she thinks are talking to her." A 8x22, Crossfire, post-ep.

[CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE SERIES FINALE] Their eldest daughter Lily wasn't planned, but she was what returned happiness to Castle and Beckett's life and made them a family. Their second child was planned. Twins however? That wasn't the plan.

"Limitless or endless in space, extent, or size; impossible to measure or calculate." My post-ep for the series finale.

A small series of vignettes to fill in those seven years between the kitchen and the kids. Post ep for 8x22. One shot. Complete.

Post 8x22 'Crossfire,' because I had to get in on the bandwagon.

Set in/around the final scene of 8x22 (Series Finale). Spoilers for 8x22 within.

Beckett's asked for a miracle, for someone to come and save him from an agonizing death on their kitchen floor. Her prayers are answered by the most peculiar, and unexpected, guardian angel. Written for Costanza and Elisa.

What happens in between those 7 years from when Castle and Beckett lay on the ground after Caleb shot them until them sitting at the breakfast table with their three children. Contains Spoilers, this whole fan fiction is basically a whole spoiler!

Prompted at castlefanficprompts for 8x12, "The Blame Game", thus spoilers: What if Kate were injured, or pregnant, during this episode? I went with both and made it as fluffy as possible when there's an emergency room involved.

That's what the great love stories are about, beating the odds. Set immediately before the time jump. 8x22

What happens right after Castle and Beckett are shot in 8x22 and the reveal that will change their lives.

Extended AU Addition of the Season 8 Series Finale "Crossfire." Always.

After that finale, this is an idea of what I could see happening at the beginning of season 3. How Toby and Happy deal with the aftermath of what happened and how they work through it.

(Canon Series) Part 1 of the Be Steele My Heart Series, this takes place during Season 5's Steeled With A Kiss. Remington copes with the loss of Daniel while Laura and he mend their relationship. Begins at Daniel's death and continues through 'when the lights go out.'

Paige comes back to LA, with Walter halfway to Tahoe

Walter arrives in Lake Tahoe. Nothing is as he expected.

While on his way to Lake Tahoe to see Paige, Walter comes across a car accident.

Set immediately after the events of 2x24. Toby drunkenly tries to track down Happy.

Happy and Paige have a heart to heart talk. An extended "what might have been" scene from 2.07 Crazy Train. Rated T for a little language.

(Mostly Quintis) This used to be a story of one shots, but now it's more of an interconnected group of moments. They're mostly chronological, but they don't exactly make a story if that makes any sense. Either way they are completely centered around Happy and Toby. *finished*

Six months after Bartlet leaves office, the entire family spends some quality time together.

"Toby or Not Toby" post-finale prediction (oneshot): After rescuing Toby from Collins, Happy and the team wait to see if Toby is okay in the hospital waiting room. Cowritten with awesomeaislin.

This is a crazy, little (Mondler pregnancy) one-shot that came to me, well, today. Enjoy!

A post ep for 8x17 Death Wish. Castle and Beckett have a long postponed conversation. Also babies.

So...Walter has finally realized Scorpion won't implode if he pursues a relationship with the team's beautiful liason, but he's still clueless about what a girl really wants. Just a little fluff to make us Waige shippers feel better about all the Linda/Tim nonsense. This is actually a sequel to 'Every Problem Has a Solution', but it can stand alone.

55 years... That's how long she'd known him. 54 years... That's how long she'd loved him. 50 years... That's how long she'd been his wife. An instant... That's how long it took for him to forget her and their life together.

Mainly a MerDer story. Maybe the other characters. My Season 4 continuation after 4.11 in which I attempt to fix things. Hopefully a good healing fic. Enjoy.

Walter O'Brien isn't the kind of man to make grand romantic gestures. So just what is he up to anyway?

A gift that warms Laura, a promise kept, an accident that threatens what they are building, and a deepening of the emotional and physical intimacy that they have battled against for years.

Castle and Beckett's first New Year as a married couple, spent at her father's cabin. A sequel to Living is Easy, although it's not truly necessary to have read that story. A chapter posted every day for advent.

"Mom, it's not a big deal!" "Not a big deal?" Paige said, glancing at Walter before looking back at the boys. "The last thing I expected was to come back here to find you two on the roof smoking!" Paige and Walter take a big step in their relationship after returning early from a mission. Inspired by some dialogue from Friends. Walter/Paige, Ralph/Owen.

Ralph opens the box, and the memories from fifty years ago stare him right in the face.

Alex and Jo fall in love in high school, but with an unplanned pregnancy and only each other to lean on for support how will this change their dreams for the future? Can they still achieve all they had hoped for? Will they even make it?

Because they discussed fonts—really, fonts—long before they chose their Save the Date card. A series of standalone, unrelated chapters, covering a wide time period and with a variety of ratings. The first one, rated M, takes place during the book party in 2x05, "When the Bough Breaks." Also, because a few people have asked: yes, every font mentioned in these chapters is real.

Raj hosts a "wedding reception" in 4A for Leonard and Penny after their return from Vegas. After overhearing Amy confess what is really behind her split with Sheldon he gives her some important information, even if he didn't exactly intend to do so. Definitely a Shamy story.

Abigail Barrington meets Jed Bartlet. Teasing, injuries, and sparks ensue. Fluff. Bartlet History 1.

"I want to stop acting like we'd hurt the greater good, because...because how could this be something bad? It's taken me so long to really understand what this is. They don't get to tell me that it's wrong."

You heard him talking in "Womb with a View." Now he's out of the womb and has even more to say. (Castle Summer Hiatus 2015 Ficathon Entry. I finished one, and because I seem to have misplaced my mind I'm doing another.) Enormous thanks to dtrekker for the absolutely perfect cover art. Complete.

Post-Episode Fic for The Time of Our Lives. "He sinks back on the mattress, completely in awe of her as she sits above him. With nimble fingers, she every so gently starts to unbutton each fasten on his shirt, and with each one undone, she can see his impatience inching higher and higher."

**Season 7 Finale Spoilers Contained Within** The summer after the finale. Amy POV.

He loves her. He knows that with every inch of his being. He can barely remember a time when he didn't. It's not a conscious choice, it's not even something that bothers him all the time, it's just a fact, it's just a part of him - Ignores the (very stupid) finale. Barney/Robin fluff, no sad feelings here!

This is my first fanfic. I'm old enough to remember Friends the first time around. I fell in love with Mondler then & in the last year have fallen all over again. This is one of those scene-filler one-shots that takes place right after "London time." I have read similar scenes I liked but this story just wouldn't let me go. Let me know what you think MC fans! BTW - I own nothing!

A Dash Universe mini-epic. Set four/five months after the events of Mad Dash.

"Alexis." Kate said, with spooky calm.

"He'll end up learning the periodic table before he learns his ABCs." Mark and Lexie buy a very special gift for their son, and it brings back more than a few memories. Rated T, for some sexual references. Fluffity-fluffity-fluff.

Post series story. Sarah finds herself, not just in her memories, but in Chuck and the love of the people who care about her. It's a story of the rebuilding of a life, the restoration of a future, and love's triumph over tragedy. There's some of everything CHUCK: romance and drama, heart and humor, even a little action and adventure.

Post-Always fic. My version of what happens after Castle & Beckett fall asleep.

I'm reposting this my first complete story it's been reworked and I've made minor changes. UPDATED AGAIN THE STORY IS NOW COMPLETE

Sherwood Schwartz was not the one who insisted putting Cousin Oliver into the Brady household; that was some of TPTB at Paramount. I'm not a fan of Oliver, so he doesn't exist in my Bradyverse. I liked this episode, but I wanted to rewrite it without him

The affects of one little thing done differently
