After dismantling the dirty bomb, Kate returns to Josh. Castle's and Beckett's partnership/friendship is put to the test. Will it bring them closer than ever, or ruin what they have permanently? The will end up together, don't worry. Kate doesn't get shot

This is a T-RATED version of my story "Reservations". It is exactly the same, but without the mature content!

It's 2012 and Castle and Beckett are attending Detective Ryan's wedding. Love is in the air... will our favorite couple add to the romance?

When a famous geneticist and a Senator are murdered, something is asked of Beckett and Castle that may not only uncover a terrible conspiracy, but also help unravel the greatest mystery of Beckett's life. Contains major spoilers for the episode "Sucker Punch" and "Knockdown"

 "I think you will concede that if you are, in fact, pregnant," Castle held her gaze with his own, "there is," he hesitated, suddenly less sure of himself, "a reasonable chance the child would be mine."

Beckett's mouth flattened into a thin line, and two red spots appeared in her cheeks. She crossed her arms and looked away, but did not deny it.

Castle sighed but continued. "If you would take a few moments to do this small thing, if for no other reason than for my peace of mind, I would be extremely grateful."  

If you want a story that feels realistic, and will make you laugh as well as cry, than this one is for you. Drama mixed with fun romance and unexpected developments for Castle and Beckett.  This is a SEASON TWO story.  

Thank you, for getting on the Ten Most Favorite Story and The Most Reviewed Stories lists!  You made my week!   :-D

Rick comes back from the summer to find things worse than he ever imagined. He's been working hard to fix things, but it hasn't been easy. He's hit a wall with Kate and decides to take a leap. 

After Kate decides to put her mother's case away, a package will change everything. Secrets are revealed, a relationship develops, and the gang is placed in more danger than they ever have before. This is my attempt to take Castle canon and solve the case. Enjoy!

It starts with the first episode from season 3, when Castle comes back from the Hamptons. Then it takes on its own life. Beckett admits her feelings for Castle...both to him and to herself....

This is my first fan fic. I am aware it probably isn't very good, but I have fun writing it anyhow. I don't claim to be an expert on anything I'm writing, so if I mess something up, forgive me. Go easy on the critiques. Construtive criticism , nicely worded, is welcome. Flaming is not. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Edit: 3/26/2011 - Holy O.o! I just looked and this is in the top 10 for most favorites.  You guys ROCK. Plain and simple. Thank you very, very much!

Edit: 6/13/2011 - 50 reviews, thank you very much!

Small side note. I know there are spelling errors. I know there are grammatical errors. I don't care. I don't have a beta reader, I don't proof read for things that spell check doesn't catch. I write for love of the story. If the spelling/grammar bothers you, I'm sorry. Its not that big of a deal to me, I'm not writing in chat speak, so for the most part I'm pretty sure you can figure out what I meant to say. Thanks!

Set second half of the first season.  Maggie Maguire, a fellow crime writer and old friend of Rick's, arrive in New York for a book awards ceremony, while Rick himself is involved in a murder that will have everyone seeing double.

It's different when it happens right in front of you...close enough to watch the lights go out. Castle experiences this for himself when Beckett passes out after taking a bullet at the end of Knockout. What happens next? Caskett, of course. Spoilers through Knockout (3 x 24 ). 

Kate being shot wasn't the end. It wasn't the beginning. It did, however, set something in motion and continued things that already were. No one is safe.

Season Finale aftermath story. Did one last year, doing it again this year.
