82Graveyard: A Caskett Collection » by
JohnQKole
A series of short stories surrounding Beckett and Castle's relationship. This will be an ongoing compilation of stories, largely lovey and smutty. The show has been over a while, so I'm not sure if people are still reading, but I just started watching and I'm hooked on Caskett. Some will be in cannon, some diverging, but I'll make it clear with each short story within.

Caskett's Batman and Beckett Halloween Story » by
vjlee
At Castle's Halloween party, he's costumed as Batman and Beckett as Talia al Ghul. So, will they or won't they use Frank Sinatra's 'Witchcraft' and some of 'That Old Black Magic' to make Caskett come together to make a 'Nice 'n' Easy' future for Castle and Beckett? I own nothing related to Castle, Batman:Arkham City or the songs of Frank Sinatra. No infringement of copyright meant.
