59 Christmas Spirit » Christmas, Beckett thought firmly, was humbug. It encouraged over-consumption, bratty behaviour, and unpleasantness – not to mention the migraine-inducing properties of tinsel, twinkling lights, or shining stars. Castle, of course, had other ideas. As did the blasted brainworm. Two chapters of Christmas Caskett.

629 A Glass, Darkly » "Beckett stared at the street camera footage from a cold case, wincing every time she moved the mouse. Her arm hurt. Really, really hurt, and the blood and fluid was soaking through her makeshift bandage. It hadn't hurt last night, or any time before they'd closed the sniper case. She'd wrapped it up, taken Advil every morning, and never felt a thing." Castle Ficathon 2023

231 L'Inconnue » "Kate Beckett was not, most emphatically not, a ghost. For a start, she wasn't dead. And just because she could quietly and unobtrusively dissolve into a little swirl of sparks, didn't mean she was ectoplasmic. She wasn't. She was entirely solid, most of the time." A piece of Hallowe'en silliness for the Castle Hallowe'en Bash 2022. S2 AU.

135 Better to Give » "Kate Beckett, despite all appearances to the contrary, was not, in fact, the Grinch. This would have come as a considerable surprise to all of her friends and colleagues, who were used to her acerbic, not to say scathingly acidic, commentary on Christmas and all things related to the festive season." S2 Castle Ficathon Winter 2021

821 Cruel Summer » If he wasn't going to be around, what did anything matter? Justice. Justice for the victim, justice for their families, justice and closure. Justice mattered: being the best cop she could be to deliver that justice. Whatever toll that took. Whatever price she paid. Post Castle leaving, s2. Summer Ficathon 2021

280 Wish Upon The Star » "In a tiny, well hidden corner of her heart, Kate Beckett wished that Christmas was, well, different. She would have loved to have had a joyful, celebratory day, full of family and fun and food, carols and cheer and camaraderie." S2 #CastleFicathonWinter2020

826 Dear Diary » "'Dear Diary. I'm so tired. There's so much to learn as a detective, and I'm still bailing Dad out. I told him last night was the last time, and I really meant it. I keep going back to the file but I can't see anything more. I'm missing something, I know I am.' A chill ran down Castle's spine. He frantically turned pages to the next entry." Pre-series AU meeting. CastleFicathon2020

145 Cerulean » "A small blue dot in her vision. But it was the wrong blue. It wasn't her blue. She wanted her blue. But it wasn't there." Fluff in three chapters.

103 Start Me Up » He'd been pretty close to celibate for months...which had left him here, a hundred miles and more north of the city, God alone knew where, on a bike he could just about ride with a temper he could just about control and absolutely no idea where to go or what to do next. AU, Pre-series, 2-shot #CastlePornado2019

188 The Language of Flowers » "Suddenly it occurred to her that Castle was a wordsmith. A man who used language... And, therefore, she should be looking at the meaning of the plants he'd picked." Castle tries to win Beckett's heart in the oldest way possible. S1 AU, with flowers.
