Castle seems to be facing rough edges in his life. All changes when he rescues a woman from two men trying to attack her. Castle realizes the woman has also had a rough life and decides to get to know her better. Rated for language and a brief violence involving a sexual assault.

This one-shot AU story is from my Emma & Eli Universe. It's Rick's 43rd birthday, and he is feeling ancient. Kate and the kids work to bring him out of his funk and help him enjoy his memorable day, especially Emma! (A follow-up story for "Birthday Girl"). Castle and its characters are the property of Andrew Marlowe and ABC. All others are from my imagination.

Richard Castle is a US Navy officer in the Philippines at the turn of the 20th Century. He will have many adventures and meet many people, some of whom we may be familiar with in different contexts, but they will include a lovely young lady with auburn hair, brown eyes and a lovely smile.

A collection of those one shots that's larger than 1k words each, mostly they'll be 2k or more. All shots will be about Castle and Beckett and the things/people surrounding them (but still with Caskett as the main). Also, the rating for the full collection is T, BUT there will be M-rated shots too and it will say so in the beginning of the shot if it is M-rated or not. Enjoy!

Oz, the drug dealer from S3E14, turns out to be far more dangerous then Beckett and Castle ever could have imagined. In the end though, the biggest danger to Kate... is herself.
