Title: Pinned
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance.
Warnings: Slash, drunken naughtiness, fluff, allusions to politically incorrect cocktails, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, Richard Castle.
Wordcount: 782
Summary: Because in some way, it always has to be Castle's fault.
Details: Written for the St. Patrick's Day Mini-Thon on

ryanandesposito I didn't mean for this to be more or less the same fic as "Stupid Questions" only without the werewolves, but it kind of turned out that way...

( "You're a tease, Kev," Javier whispered coarsely, leaning in half an inch more, "A filthy goddamned tease." )

Title: A Proliferation of Hearts
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance, Fluff, Angst, Humor.
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, established relationship, cheesiness, fluff, mild squick, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan.
Wordcount: 1,879
Summary: Which concerns dubious holiday purchases, Javier being uncharacteristically sentimental, Kevin being characteristically demented, and the probability of them actually waiting for dessert approaches zero.
Details: Written for

ryanandesposito's Valentine's Day Mini Ficathon. A little late.
This probably reads very strangely to anyone who hasn't read my Life series, but all you need know is that Javier is just a tiny bit...undead.
I know I said a V-Day fic for Life would wind up too cheesy, but— Um, no, actually I was right. It's way cheesy. I just did it anyway.

( To be quite honest, the thing which had surprised Javier the most was that it was even possible for him to find the holiday any more offensive than he already had. )

Title: Jamais Vu
Series: A Once and Future Thing
Fandoms: Castle, The Eagle
Rating: PG
Genre: Romance, Supernatural
Warnings: spoilers for The Eagle.
Details: Pre-slash, genre!crack, crossover, unbetad.
Wordcount: 870
Characters/Pairings: Castle—pre-Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan. The Eagle—pre-Marcus/Esca.
Summary: "I swore an oath of honor never to abandon you."
Details: I consider this a prequel of sorts to "Deja Vu".
Oh, and like "Deja Vu" and "Women Scorned", the idea for this was actually poached out of someone else's conversation, so blame—er, credit to

coffeebuddha and

theslashbunny for putting it in my head.

( Watching Javier drive away had left a cold, tight ache in his gut. It was more than just fear. More than just tension )

Title: Stupid Questions (And Other Things That Don't Exist)
Series: Evidence
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Romance, Fluff, Supernatural.
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, werewolves, drunken naughtiness, fluff, meta, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, Richard Castle, Kate Beckett (we'll say Caskett-ish, since I do eventually plan to go there in this 'verse, just not yet.)
Wordcount: 1,490
Summary: In which two drunk werewolves wax meta on the supernatural, and apparently everyone's adorable.
Details: Remember when, like, there were werewolves? Takes place in the same universe as "Evidence to the Contrary". I always had meant to revisit this 'verse, but this is sooo not how I imagined doing it. I blame public transit. I come up with the weirdest ideas on the train... I actually came up with this before Christmas, then intended to do it for New Years. With a few tweaks, though, it serves well enough for Valentines Day. Might as well. It's not like the Zeitgeist 'verse is ever getting a fic for that holiday, and I while I could probably do one for the Life 'verse it would probably wind up waaaay cheesier than I would ever want.

( "Like...if werewolves are real, what else?" )

Title: Incubus
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: R
Genre: Horror, Angst, Romance
Warnings: Slash, genre!crack, zombies, unbetad, spoilers for Knockout in a massively AU sort of way. Dark, horror, explicit violence and gore, non-explicit sexual content, squick, vore, cannibalism. Warnings are there for a reason. Heed them. While some of these warnings were also on "Quality of Life", this fic isn't nice about them like that one was.
Also: I had thought I was long past the point of feeling cruel for what I inflict on characters when I write. This one proved me wrong. That could be a warning in and of itself...
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan. Hal Lockwood.
Wordcount: 2,320
Summary: A formula for mutually assured destruction.
Details: Life AU. Thanks go out to roachstar (if she's willing to accept it) for reminding me that if Montgomery was still alive in this 'verse, then Lockwood probably was too.

( A head shot was the only chance he'd ever had of leaving that alley alive... )

Current Music: You Took the Words Right Out of My Mouth - Meat Loaf

Title: Of Mice and Men
Fandoms: Castle, Fables
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Angst, Fantasy, Humor, Romance
Details: Slash, genre!crack, AU, crack, unsolicited crossover, fairy tales, talking animals, author insanity, shades of "omfg what did I just write?", unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Castle—Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, Kate Beckett. Fables—Bigby Wolf, Frau Totenkinder, Reynard, Rose Red, Bagheera, others. OCs.
Wordcount: 30,178
Summary: In which a city mouse visits the country, which predictably leads to trouble and (in no particular order) revelations, relations and reciprocation; a funeral and a shotgun wedding; and Javier almost gets eaten by a panther.
Notes: A crossover with the comic Fables. This was done for

adja999 for

ryanandesposito's Secret Santa Fic Exchange. I apologize for crossing with a fandom you probably don't even read, but this was honestly the only thing my muse wanted to run with.
Fortunately, Fables draws its characters from fairy tales and similar stories, so they should at least be familiar in that context. On the off chance anyone happens to be familiar with Fables, this takes place before (i.e. blatantly ignores) the "Dark Ages" arc.

Prologue: Once Upon a Time...
(...which introduces characters we don't know, characters we only think we know, and characters we do know whom we may not recognize.)
Chapter One: Curiouser and Curiouser
(In which Javier experiences guilt, denial and car trouble, and a black panther is poorly substituted for a white rabbit.)
Chapter Two: Fish, Ponds, and Things of That Sort
(Which concerns a long-overdue reunion where awkwardness is mostly a matter of scale.)
Chapter Three: The Sky Is Falling
(In which everyone does their best, but nothing makes sense and there really isn't any time for proper explanations.)
Chapter Four: A Marriage of Inconvenience
(In which further questions are raised, most of which are not answered, but even then Javier is quick to sense when things start going rapidly downhill...)
Chapter Five: Small Talk
(Which contains shoe dropping of all sizes, and related puns become completely unavoidable.)
Chapter Six: Relatively Relative
(In which proper introductions take place, and it's all painfully civil—though just as painfully embarrassing.)
Chapter Seven: Hare Trigger
(In which a second kiss proves even more disarming than the first, magic animals discuss gay marriage, and Kevin is given some heavy food for thought.)
Chapter Eight: Trial or Error?
(In which a third kiss decides whether or not a fourth will seal the deal.)
Chapter Nine: Holy Matri-moley
(In which Javier's life flashes before his eyes...which, given the existence of talking panthers is probably long overdue.)
Epilogue: ...Happily Ever After?
(In which matters may not be resolved as easily as anyone believes...)

Title: Thanksgiving
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG
Genre: Angst, Romance, Fluff, Humor
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, unbetad (all par, for me), prejudice, what could be perceived as borderline Catholic bashing (see end notes), coming-out clichés, potential minor squick.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 1,076
Summary: It was a given they each had a lot to be thankful for… (A holiday fic late for its holiday.)
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that weird AU where Javier is a zombie and Montgomery is still alive).

( "Sometimes, if you’re patient and you’re lucky, you can get everything you want." )

Title: Burned
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG
Genre: Humor, Angst, Romance, Fluff
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, unbetad (all par, for me).
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 525
Summary: Though post-vitals were resistant to many forms of disease, there were numerous minor indignities Javier still had to worry about (i.e., more zombie cuteness).
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that weird AU where Javier is a zombie and Montgomery is still alive).

( Certain aspects of Javier’s condition made the hurts and illnesses he was still susceptible to difficult to diagnose... )

Title: Personal Demons
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG
Genre: Humor, Angst, Romance
Warnings: Pre-slash, unbetad, unrequited/one-sided.
Characters/Pairings: pre-Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, Kevin/Jenny, Javier/Lanie.
Wordcount: 418
Summary: Wishful interpretation of a certain missing scene from "Demons".
Details: Yeah, so, I had this basically finished but totally forgot about it... Oops.

( In a loving universe, the "monster fight" after dinner might have gone something like this... )

Title: Trick or Treat
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Horror, Fluff (do those two go together? Apparently, if you're me.)
Details: Pre-slash, genre!crack, horror elements (which are for once totally not squicky), adorability, Roachletts.
Wordcount: 5,508
Characters/Pairings: Castle―Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan.
Summary: "Is someone...singing?"
Notes: Written for the Halloween Anon-athon at

ryanandesposito. Though, honestly, this fic probably couldn't have been less anonymous if I tried. Javi's POV? Check. Geek references? Check. Supernatural elements and internal repetition? Check and check. This fic was heavily influenced by Stephen King's IT.

( All it had taken was a weakening at a single point. After that, it all came down easily. )

Title: Reflection
Series: Life
Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG
Genre: Angst, Horror, Romance.
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, prejudice, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 809
Summary: The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true.
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that weird AU where Javier is a zombie and Montgomery is still alive).

( If offered the chance there was no question... )

Title: Running Hot and Cold
Series: Life
Fandoms:Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Angst, Romance, Fluff.
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, naughtiness, boys in bathrooms, PWPish, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 663
Summary: Javier's condition meant their relationship was one of constant compromise, but not all of those compromises were a burden... Another angst-fluffish ficlet from the Life 'verse.
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that weird AU where Javier is a zombie and Montgomery is still alive).

( "You may have a point." )

Title: Sui Generis
Series: Genus
Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Horror, Sci-fi, Romance.
Warnings: Possible squick, non-sexual content skirting dub-con
Reverse Warnings: Whatever certain scenes or warnings might lead one to believe, this fic contains neither mpreg nor naughty tentacles. I promise.
Details: Pre-slash, AU, genre!crack, angst, body horror, mood whiplash, insanity (not the characters', mine), starfish aliens, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Castle―pre-Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan, Kevin/Jenny, Richard Castle.
Wordcount: 14,909
Summary: Javier confessed never expecting Kevin to believe him. Kevin didn't, but somehow, things still wound up spiraling frighteningly out of control...
Details: I began this prior to the episode "Heartbreak Hotel", so it kind of hinges on Jenny not being ridiculous enough to deny her future husband his best man...
I partially blame

start_to_stop for this fic. Their alien!Jenny fic was just so awesome I had to play with my own personal plot smeerp. Don't expect anything approaching normal here. Of course, because I am incapable of writing a concept without taking it seriously, this is yet another attempt at crack that devolved into something else. This time xeno and body horror. For those of you who liked "Evidence to the Contrary" and "Quality of Life", here's more of the same type of bizarre weirdness... Only kind of even more so. *sigh* I need to stop letting my undiagnosed brain tumor write my fics for me.

Chapters: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 5.5 - 6 - 7

Title: Sticks and Stones
Series: Life
Fandom: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Angst, Horror, Romance.
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, prejudice, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 1,035
Summary: ...but words can never hurt me. A glossary disguised as a trio of loosely word-themed ficlets.
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that weird AU where Javier is a zombie and Montgomery is still alive).

( It was such a simple word, small and deceptively familiar. )

Title: Heart Attack
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Horror, Angst, Romance
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 285
Summary: It was funny how similar it felt...
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that strange AU where Javier is a zombie, and Montgomery is still alive).

( Next time, maybe. Next time… )

Title: Night Terrors
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Horror, Angst, Romance, Hurt/Comfort
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, violent imagery, references to cannibalism, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 667
Summary: He felt so stupid when it hit him later that day. Just one of those random connections the brain often made when it was occupied by something else entirely, but the realization left him feeling chilled, and ill, and uncomfortable all the same.
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that strange AU where Javier is a zombie, and Montgomery is still alive).

( He knew that during onset Javier had sometimes dreamed while he was still awake, but he hadn't realized that it still happened. )

Current Music: Red - Faceless

Title: Sublimation
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: R
Genre: Angst, Horror, Romance...Fluff?
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, sexual situations, violent imagery, boys in bathrooms, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 471
Summary: A Life 'verse ficlet. Borders on PWP.
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" (i.e. that weird AU where Javier is a zombie and Montgomery is still alive).

( It was just easier to distract himself by focusing on other things... And Kevin was always there. )

Title: Slice of Life "Cold Comfort"
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG
Genre: Angst, Romance...Fluff?
Warnings: Slash, AU, genre!crack, zombies, unbetad.
Characters/Pairings: Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan
Wordcount: 545
Summary: A somewhat angst-fluffish ficlet from the Life 'verse.
Details: Takes place in the same universe as "Quality of Life" and "Life Goes On" (i.e. that weird AU where Javier is a zombie and Montgomery is still alive).

( Heat always told. )

Title: Life Goes On
Series: Life
Fandoms: Castle
Rating: PG-13
Genre: Horror, Angst, Romance.
Details: Slash, genre!crack, angst, darkishness, zombies.
Characters/Pairings: Castle―Javier Esposito/Kevin Ryan.
Wordcount: 3,354
Summary: If love is a selfish emotion, then loving unconditionally is the most selfish of all.
Notes: Companion fic to Quality of Life, filling in a few blanks from Kevin's perspective. Because it's almost Hallowe'en, and my zombie muse is pushy.

( And when his fantasies shifted, when they began to include cold lips and white teeth, Kevin knew he was completely screwed. )

Title: Deja Vu
Series: A Once and Future Thing
Fandoms: Castle, Firefly
Rating: PG
Genre: Romance, Sci-fi
Warnings: Character death, spoilers for Serenity.
Details: Slash, het, genre!crack, crossover, unbetad.
Wordcount: 1,750
Characters/Pairings: Castle—Ryan/Esposito, implied Castle/Beckett. Firefly—Zoe/Wash, Mal/Inara, Kaylee, Inara, Book.
Summary: From the moment they first met there was something about their new pilot had made Zoe uneasy. Something familiar that she hadn't quite been able to put her finger on.
Details: To be quite honest, I'm not even sure if this counts as a Castle fic, even though it was written as one. This exists somewhere in that grey area between "fusion" and "crossover". Inspired by a serendipitous occurrence on the

ryanandesposito Anon-athon where one of the anon's accidentally had Esposito echoing Zoe's first impression of Wash, regarding his first impression of Ryan. I've thought before that the couples were very similar, so this idea just happened naturally from that...
Interestingly enough, rereading some older fics a few weeks later, I realized that

pure_mornings also wrote a fic that put the same dialogue in Javier's mouth. Go figure.

( "Just somethin' about him bothers me." )
