There were a great number of things in the vast universe that Castle longed to experience. He wanted to travel to the moon. He wanted to set foot on the face of Mars. He wanted to do so many things and experience them in the fullest way, but on that list of things, he never expected 'wake up in a female body' to be among them. He shifted ( Read more... )

Castle had taught himself to cook many a splendored and delicious thing over the years. He could do chicken marsala, all types of curry, and the most lavish of desserts. He had yet to really show off the dessert part, which was what he was focusing on today when he got together a cheesecake of strawberry and caramel, all for Kate ( Read more... )

Castle knew he was in trouble when the first thing he said to the woman in the kitchen that morning was, 'your breasts are looking very healthy today'. They were. That was sort of the problem.

And possibly Narnia, depending on what kind of mood he was in. He'd seen unicorns around, there had to be some centaurs lying in wait ( Read more... )

With Alexis' permission in hand, Castle just had to figure out how you were supposed to spring a big question on your significant other. With Meredith and Gina, it had been a big thing, the marriage. Castle wasn't at that point just yet, but it was a big question nonetheless and he refused to just let it pass without a good show ( Read more... )

If it wasn't Christmas, it was a day upon which the gods smiled at Richard Castle and said, 'hey, we like you, keep doing what you're doing because we see fit to reward you with plentiful, bountiful, wondrous gifts'. At least, that's what he figured finding the magic kit on his front door was ( Read more... )

The only way that Castle would love the Island more is if during the winter, it had come up with different zones of pure amazingness. As it was, he would take Dr. Seussian appearances. He would take it with snow and with ice, he would take it because it was nice, he did not think it could ever be beat, "...and because, in the end, it's really quite ( Read more... )
