They Move In The Shadows » by
Caskett1960
Once again, I will be returning to the fiasco that was Season 8. This time, however, the story will be divided into three parts: before, during and after LokSat. This time, I will be employing something that I used with my earlier fan fiction universe. The things that we didn't see. Rated T for language.

Lady In Red by
HardSoulToSave
The precinct was abuzz with anticipation the day of the Christmas party. It wasn't the food or the corny decorations that had Castle lingering around Beckett's desk, though. Not even the promise of holiday-themed drinks had his attention. No, it was the way Beckett had leaned across her desk that morning, a hint of something mischievous flickering in her gaze.

I have a lot of random little ideas that pop into my head - so this will be a collection of all those little stories. Each chapter will be a stand alone story (unless stated otherwise). Some will be from prompts, others will be just random ideas. I do not own or profit from these characters, anything you recognise is not mine.
