"It's, uh...too bad this bunker didn't come with an attic, huh?" {lyatt. post-S2. oneshot} (TFP)

"She knew he wouldn't answer. Even though it was her eleventh call, he wouldn't answer, and she knew why, deep inside. It was the only reason he would leave." / Lucy makes a drastic decision. Lyatt romance; Garcy friendship. An imagining for the rest of the season, starting canon-compliant and veering into AU. Song-inspired.

When Lucy, Rufus and Wyatt are erased from her timeline, it's up to Jiya, the only person who remembers they existed, to investigate the seemingly unconnected disappearances of three children in 1991, foil Rittenhouse's latest attack on Reality, and bring the Time Team home. Oneshot. Gratuitous excuse to write the Time Team as kids. Warnings for kiddies in various states of peril.

A terrible date, a mission gone south, no room at the inn, and a shopping spree on Mason's time-appropriate counterfeit dime. How our three heroes find the spirit of Christmas in an unlikely place….each other. (TFP)

Because sometimes it takes a wrought iron fence, a slight wardrobe malfunction, and a good view of the ceiling to get your priorities in order. { lyatt. post 1x16. oneshot }

It's a question he only somewhat remembers asking that leads John to the missing piece. Post-ep for 2x8, Conversion.

"Sometimes he thinks he's exaggerating it in his head. Maybe he believes so strongly that it should be happening that he's only seeing what he wants to see." [ Or the six times Rufus suspects that Lucy and Wyatt are totally in love, and the one time he wishes he could scrub his eyes with bleach ] Lyatt, set somewhere in the season 2 future.

For the weekly challenge. A weekend away means possibilities are in the air... [Lucy/Wyatt, post-season 1]

Post 7.23 - Kensi and Deeks have dinner with Roberta Deeks and her boyfriend.

"Life was so much simpler when Henry was just the slightly spooky, scarf-loving M.E. and Jo's unofficial partner slash will-they-won't-they friend. Now I know this massive, impossible secret– not that I ever asked, mind you, or remotely WANTED to know– and life is getting more complicated by the day." Hanson reveal fic.

There are two kinds of folks who sit around thinking about how to kill people: psychopaths and mystery writers. He threw away his chance to be the kind that pays better. Very AU.

"She didn't know his secret yet—so why was she here? Henry said the only thing he could think of. 'I can explain.' 'Save it,' Jo said. 'We're late for dinner. Welcome back, by the way.' She closed the distance between them by hooking a finger under his towel and pulling him in, and then she kissed him." Not exactly AU...more like canon-based spec fic. Or something.

Extension on the gas mask scene from 1x17, "Social Engineering." What would Henry and Jo have talked about if their conversation had continued? Secrets are revealed as the two bond and their friendship becomes deeper. Henry/Jo friendship, unless you choose to see it as otherwise.

Henry gets into an accident and develops amnesia. With no memories of his life, what sort of things might come to light?

"She would always remember the overwhelming relief in his eyes, his posture, his words when he'd found her at the scene. His shoulders had actually sagged, and he'd reached for her hand with fingers that were shaking."

It's Valentine's Day and, knowing the day will likely be difficult for Jo, Henry decides to do a little something special for his partner. A fluffy feels-y friendship fic.

Set after 1x15. Henry would like to know about Jo's more "feminine" side, specifically a certain ability. One-shot.

Written for the 2013 Kink Meme, specifically for the prompt: "Castle catches Beckett masturbating. Author's choice is he joins, eats her out, and/or they have sex". The prompt asked for season one, but this...isn't. I hope you'll forgive me that little deviation.

"Castle." She breathes, her eyes dropping, roaming over his face, like she wants to devour him and she did say dessert. The sweet treat at the end of a meal, the soft, hard, hot, cold culmination of an evening spent in promise. He can think of no better word for what is about to transpire between them. M addition to All Good Things

Post Cops and Robbers. Maybe it was his Mother sitting next to him on the cold Bank floor, it could be the knowledge that his daughter was waiting outside the entire time. Somehow he thinks it's more to do with the woman curled up on his couch like she belongs there...

Making the call might just have been one of the best decisions of his life, he thought, as he stared at his phone again like he had been for the past five days. (AU from the S2 finale.)

It is ridiculous, really, the number of times they had to mess things up before getting to a point where they could do things right.

Her mouth opens with a breath, lips curve as if to speak.

This is an entry for the 1st ever 12th Precinct Castle Christmas FanFic Competition. Author s pen name is: "Brookemopolitan". This story was awarded 5th place in public vote!

Written for the prompt: Drunk Beckett. Kate and Lanie go out on a girls night, and Kate has a little bit too much. Cue Castle doing the gentlemanly thing and escorting her home. Silliness abounds.

If this was what really being in love felt like Kate wasn't sure she was going to survive it. Not like this was news, but obviously something was seriously wrong with her. Winner of FanFic: Best Humor in the 2012 Castle Fan Awards

He isn't afraid of Kate in the crosshairs anymore. Right now, Castle is more afraid of his partner behind a gun than in front of one.

"We're going to need to bang soon," Castle tells her.

A lone droplet of water slides from where he placed it on her neck down into the dark recesses of her collar in a slow decent and she wonders how soon she'll be able to return home to her air conditioning and a cold shower.

Why the long look during the eulogy? What made Castle finally admit his feelings? Yes, it was 7 months ago, but it could have happened this way. Missing scene from season 3 finale. Caskett angst, fluff, & smut, not necessarily in that order.

It's cliché, he knows, that this happens on New Years Eve. He's having a party, she comes, and the writer inside of him dies a little bit over the fact that fate has chosen this moment for them.

It's New Year's Eve, and when Castle and Beckett are together, they may not always have the right words, but they do have costumes, booze, and some very powerful music. One-shot, complete.

"Always," means always, no matter what. Kate learns that Richard Castle is willing to be in her life, however she'll have him, and eventually, she realizes just how much of her everything he has become.

On autopilot, her thumb flipped open her cell phone, found the right speed-dial number, and her hand lifted the phone to her ear. -My idea of how the call after 1x05 would have went.

Castle's keen observational skills prompt a late-night visit. No spoilers, but maybe some wishful thinking.

It was a summer's night and the smell of the old rose bush was as heavy as rain. Under the light of the moon and guidance of the stars, two friends finally take that step into something more.

She's still finding it hard to get warm. post-ep for setup/countdown. castle/beckett; beckett/josh.

It's Ryan and Jenny's wedding and love is definitely in the air.

"I don't believe in your happiness," he says.

Beckett is sick and Castle takes care of her. Pure fluffy goodness - very little plot for the time being. I upped the rating because I realise that every now and again, there's a bad word :o

When a throwaway comment leads to some serious revelations, Castle and Beckett's relationship is changed forever.

He manages to keep his jaw from hitting the polished wood floor. "There are just so many things I could comment on in that sentence, I don't even know where to begin."

Conundrums, among other things - irony, hyperbole, conceit – and unrelated to literature: Rubik's cubes - are inherently intriguing to Richard Castle. Beckett/Castle, and how he's learned to read between her lines.

Maybe it's not about what you end, but what you begin.

Detective Beckett is slizzard. Yes. Slizzard.

She'll never admit that she's squeezing his hand just as hard as he's squeezing hers. Post-ep for 3x06 3XK, so spoilers for that episode.

Castle catches Beckett in a rare moment of vulnerability.

Progress. Regress. Repeat as necessary.

... color of your eyes. She only closes her eyes when his lips touch hers. Set after 1x09 "Little Girl Lost" and goes AU from there.
