One shots based on 2x17 and 2x18, Tick, Tick... Boom! Castle/Alexis and Castle/Beckett.

They really need to have a scene like this on the show. I can just imagine Nathan and Stana playing that scene out perfectly. It would have every fan rolling with laughter and yet frustration at the same time because nothing happened... again. ;)

This was a lot of fun. Thanks for writing it. :)

After not being able to see his favorite detective for a week, because of a trying case, Demming decides to pay Kate a visit at her home. He gets Lanie to tell him her address but she neglects to mention one small detail about where Kate is staying.

This story literally had me cracking up. I loved it... poor Lanie. :P I loved it. This story puts a much-needed smile on my face. Great Job!!

Castle must find a way to prove his best friend didn't murder anyone

First, I just want to get this out of my system... *ahem* YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!! FINALLY! AN UPDATE!!!

*composes self*

That was marvelous. The Knight and the Rook, black and white, to disarm the bomb was pretty ingenious. And the Caskett/Kenzi banter that followed was great. I liked Kenzi and Beckett's conversation in the hospital room. :) And then Castle's little smile at the end. I hope there's more and if there is, I can't wait.

Castle is acting jealous... and I'm just as confused as he and Beckett are. Maybe Kenzi and Esposito are up to something? Interesting turn in direction. Kenzi is a fun OC and I can't wait to see where you're taking this... PPMS.

Richard Castle returns to the 12th Precinct, but not to the the welcome he was expecting, or hoping for. 

Awesome! Depending on how Season 3 starts, I could see something like this happening. They really do need to talk it out and they were both hurt. It's one of the dynamics of playing "cat-and-mouse" that Castle and Beckett play so well. I can't wait to see the new season. Great job - great insight to what Castle and Beckett were feeling from their POVs. And the conversation with Esposito was interesting too - though I think Ryan could've been there as well. ;) Great job!! :)

What happens when Lanie talks Kate into trying speed dating...and Castle finds out?

I knew it! I knew that the cliffhanger at the end of this chapter was going to be Castle sitting in front of her. This should be a fun 5 minutes. ;) This is a fun story in contrast to what Castle usually is all about and I'm really interested in more. PPMS! :)

Just thought I'd review over here too. :) The "living with your mother" comment is still really funny - they should use it on the show. ;)

I can't wait to see the rest. :)

I love the third degree that Alexis gave him. That's definitely his daughter. :P And yes! Yes! Kate said yes. :) Sometimes it's great to read fluffy stories like this. Great job. I'll make sure to keep my eyes peeled for a sequel.

Somebody is out for our famous novelist, but is Castle's life really on the line? A look into a developing Castle/Beckett relationship, and a twisted case that leaves Mr. RC questioning his past, his future, and who he really is.

I'm reading this over at fanfiction.net as well adn after reading it again, I'm still very very interested. I can't wait for more. Those sections with Dale have me curious - if it's what Castle was writing or if that was happening outside of Castle's beach house.

You really need to post more soon either here or over at fanfiction.net or both. I'm really looking forward to more. PPMS!

As soon as I saw this story was updated, I got really excited. :) I'm glad to see a new chapter. Having Castle stay with Beckett is pretty genius. I wonder when Alexis and Martha will find out about the hit. Beckett and Castle should have some fun dialogue when they're both back at her apartment. Their case must be interesting if Ryan and Esposito wanted it so badly. I hope you can get the internet because this little gem needs more. ;) I hope you'll be able to update soon. I can't wait for what happens next. :)

A criminal from their past. comes back.  Castle's been kidnapped and it's up to Beckett and the team to find him.  Will they reach him in time and will this crime solving duo finally admit to each other how they really feel.

Okay, you need to write more NOW! Man, I'm loving this story. Castle's been kidnapped when he's on the way to make things right with Beckett. I'm just grateful that Castle called Alexis before all this happened. I only have one suggestion to make the format easier on the eye. I think that when a character starts talking, it should be on another line. For example:

She takes a deep breath, looks at the captain, “I need to be there when they arrive; it's what Castle would want me to do. He would want me to look after them.” The captain nods, “I know that. We will bring him home Kate.” She looks down at her shoes, “You don't know that,” she whispers. The captain takes a deep breath, “I've been doing this job a long time. I've seen a lot of detectives come and go. You stand out among them. You won't stop until you bring him home, safely. The person or persons who did this have no idea what they are up against. Or what lengths you'll go to find him.” She smiles faintly, touching his arm, as she walks out the door.

Could be:

She takes a deep breath, looks at the captain, “I need to be there when they arrive; it's what Castle would want me to do. He would want me to look after them.”

The captain nods, “I know that. We will bring him home Kate.”

She looks down at her shoes, “You don't know that,” she whispers.

The captain takes a deep breath, “I've been doing this job a long time. I've seen a lot of detectives come and go. You stand out among them. You won't stop until you bring him home, safely. The person or persons who did this have no idea what they are up against. Or what lengths you'll go to find him.” She smiles faintly, touching his arm, as she walks out the door.

See? It works. ;) I really really REALLY can't wait to see what happens next!! Please please post more soon! I'm in love with it. :D

Will's trying to be a control freak again... not surprised. He doesn't have a right to talk to Kate that way. I can't wait to see what Alexis and Martha have to say.

I just have a few little things to say about a couple of spelling errors in the chapter... the context you used "maybe" in should really be two words "may be" (when Lanie's talking).

And when Castle thought back to one of their older cases, it really should be:

"I really am ruggedly handsome, aren't I?"

"I'm waiting for the breakthrough."

I just thought you should know. ;) I hope nothing's wrong with those hot dogs and water that Castle ate and drank. And I'm really glad that Castle is lucid enough to be thinking about his family and hoping that Kate and company are on the case. I can't wait for more! PPMS! :)

FINALLY! An update! I've been checking every day to see if there was a new chapter to this story and there finally is! :)

The scene with the Castle women (including Kate) was very touching. And I can't help but smile at what Esposito said to Will - don't mess with him. ;)

Poor Castle... at least he thinks he might know where he is. I hope those crazy men don't do too much harm to him. :( You have to update soon! I need more! I love it. :) PPMS!

The scene between Alexis and Kate was very tender and sweet. It spoke volumes about what Castle means to Kate and Alexis respectfully. They both truly can't live without him. I really liked how you wrote Kate's inner musings about hopefully not "being too late." in both instances.

I'm glad Castle doesn't have any broken ribs, that definitely is a good sign. And at least the bad guys didn't discover what he was doing. :)

I love all the flashbacks that Castle is having from different episodes to fit his situation... and his little daydream of Alexis, Martha, and Kate was nice. ;)

I'm still absolutely in love with this story - one of my favorite Castle fanfictions I've ever read. Please post more soon! I love it!! :)

At least Castle has had some experience trying to untie himself to a chair - he just wasn't injured. Kate having the flashbacks now too is a nice touch. I hope Alexis can shed some light on the 'right he had to wrong' because we all know what it was. ;)

I hope Castle can escape, that would most certainly be interesting... my mind is swirling with a bunch of scenarios. I can't wait for more!! PPMS! :)

Lanie's finally explaining to Martha about what we all know. ;) I hope that Castle will be able to escape through the window... that's gotta work. My only complaint is that the chapters aren't long enough. :P I can't wait for more! Please Post More Soon! :D

So that's where his captors are... they're watching Kate. I hope Castle can escape before they can do anything to Beckett. And/or it'd be interesting if they were held captive together. This story still amazes me. I actually pumped my fist in the air when I saw there was an update. :) I can't wait for more!

Damn! Wow! Wonderful - yes it was short, but amazing. One tiny little thing I have to point out because so would Castle. When the smaller captor said, "I don't think your in any position..." it should be "you're" not "your" - just thought you should know that and possibly fix it. ;)

I hope that wasn't anything too harmful that they just injected Rick with. More of this story needs to come very soon. I swear, every time I see there's an update to this story, I do a little dance of joy and click on it to read. :) PPMS! (Please Post More Soon!)

Nice dream, Castle. ;) I can't wait to see what Alexis will be asked, that should be interesting. Having the three of them stay with Alexis and Martha is a smart idea. And again, not to be too nit-picky, but you really should double-check your "your" and "you're" because in Castle's dream, it should be, "You're beautiful."

Just letting you know to make this amazing story, just a little bit better. ;) I can't wait for more. I hope Castle wakes up soon. : Please update soon!

They finally figured out what Castle was back in the city for... I'm glad. :) What. A. Dream. Wow... Castle didn't lie when he said he had very detailed dreams. ;) Once again, I'm engaged in this story and can't get enough. I hope you'll be able to update soon! :D

Very emotional short-but-sweet chapter. The bad guys are watching Kate and now that she's by herself... man, I can only hope that the next chapter will be longer. ;) You said it'd be worth it and I have faith in you that it will be. I can't wait for the next chapter again!! Please update as soon as you can! I'm still trying to figure out who the bad guys are from (a) previous episode(s)...

Wow! I knew that Beckett was going to get kidnapped too. Nice flashback to Wrapped Up In Death. :) Castle's dream is so vivid... You know, to be honest, I've been trying to think of Beckett waking up and finding Castle knocked out. This story is so good I'm trying to think of scenes to tie me over until the next chapter. What a great update! I hope you'll be able to post the next chapter soon. This story gets better and better with each chapter! :P :)

Okay, just a tad confused... is that not really Kate with Alexis? Is she really kidnapped and is now bound next to an unconscious Castle? ??? Oh, one little thing that you might want to fix, "if it where me" should be, "if it were me." ;)

This already amazing story just got even more interesting. Please post more soon and hopefully this confusion will be cleared up. ;) :)

"Cherries" - nice password. :P I am a little confused since Kate's supposed to be kidnapped, unless she's imagining all of that. My intrigue is still growing. :) Nice job! :) I can't wait for more...

Very emotion-driven chapter. Oh, and thanks for making it clear that it wasn't Kate who was kidnapped. It really seemed like that and if that's what you were going for with that, Brava, you succeeded. I think I know who it was, but I'm gonna keep it to myself.

Castle's pretty smart for recording that... they at least have a lead now. I wonder if it's a foe from their past why Kate didn't recognize either guy, unless they're in association with their former foe. ;) I'm soooo glad you updated. I was missing this story. I can't wait for more! PPMS! :)
