Christmas Spirit » by
Garrae
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.

tis the damn season » by

"He's close enough to Alexis, but far enough to give her space; close enough to L.A. for him to drive out for press and book meetings, but far enough for him to feel secluded from the spotlight. And best of all, it was a parallel line across the country from New York, from everything that haunts him there." A Christmas season AU that takes place after the events of 3x24, Knockout.

Garrae
"The damn cat was staring at him again. Every time he came around, the cat fixed him with a deadly stare before she decided she would deign to acknowledge him. Castle thought back to the first time he'd been allowed into Beckett's apartment, and had met, much to his surprise, a small kitten." Fluffy Hallowe'en fun. CastleHalloweenBash2023

A Glass, Darkly » by
Garrae
"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

(Not) Lonely this Christmas » by
Garrae
"Usually, Richard Castle loved Christmas: the glitter and sparkle, gift-giving and good food, presents for everyone around him, and most of all, a close and loving (if somewhat weird) family. Usually. This year, Christmas held no appeal at all, and he knew exactly why." An AU pre-series Christmas meeting. Castle Ficathon Winter 2022.

L'Inconnue » by
Garrae
"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.

Perfect Words » by
Garrae

Better to Give » by
Garrae
"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."
