Louis snorts. 'Right now, my dear Ricky, I wouldn't entrust you with livestock.'

She counted her blessings every day. Were it not for luck, and an undeserved kindness, they might never have had any chance to make a life in America at all.

Some drabbles I write from time to time of Casablanca, mostly Rick/Renault. I also post these on my blog if you want to follow me there. They might be a bit OC. These are mostly practice. Enjoy!

Captain Louis Renault, Casablanca's prefect of police, turned his life upside down when he joined forces with Rick Blaine that fateful night at the Casablanca airport. "M" rating assigned due to events in Chapter 5; the rest of the story is probably a "T" rating. This tale can be viewed as Louis/Rick pre-slash, but that is only one element of the story. Ch. 6 posted; story complete

Signor Ferrari was a well-known business rival of Rick Blaine. Why was he so eager to buy Rick's cafe? A short one-shot that takes place before the 1942 movie Casablanca. I don't own these characters or any letters of transit or even a fez.

Ilsa sits in Ricks Bar alone.

"He had tasted of whisky, not champagne, when they kissed above the saloon." Ilsa remembers her time with Rick as she falls asleep on the plane to Lisbon. Will she regret leaving him behind? Rated M. Please read and review.

A Jewish sketch artist collects stories of Rick's bar patrons, while waiting for her family. As Yvonne's roommate, Ugarte's mistress, Sascha's bar patron, Sam's friend, Ferrari's customer, the pickpocket's repeated victim, and Annina's consultant, she finds sides to these people few others see.

WWII ends in triumph on the 8th of May, and the celebration fills the streets of New York City. For Ilsa Laszlo, the end of the war means facing the things she'd been able to push aside in order to help the war effort.

(Not done) Rick's cafe is in business again after the death of Major Strasser. Rick is getting over Ilsa once again as she leaves with Lazlo to America, The Gestapo is on Rick's tail for Strasser's death and he has to play the saint again when a Czech Jewish woman and her husband confront Rick looking for asylum.

A poem fic, about Ilsa Lund realizing who her one true love really is. It may not be who you expect. (Rated T for some suggestive content.)

Ugarte:"When I first came to Casablanca, I thought...but what right do I have to think?" How did a Hungarian Jew with a Spanish name, Austrian accent and a love for Italian words find himself dealing in documents in 1938 Morocco? Knowing the danger, why hadn't he said "Addio!" sooner? Inspired by Al Stewart's song and an abiding passion for Peter Lorre's characters. 15ch planned.

After Victor and Isla leave for America, deep feelings and old passions rekindle. Isla knows that her true place is with Rick, but she has to find her way to him again. Rick's location is unknown, but with letters being written without delay, they will reunite. They will have to find their place somewhere, and try to fight through ultimate dangers to finally stay together.

Set post-film One-shot. . Rick sits in his cafe, gets a bit drunk, and has a meaningful conversation with a wineglass. Rated T for alcohol and copious amounts of angst. My first fic, please read and review!

A young Polish resistance fighter spends his last night in Casablaca trying to make final arrangements for his escape to Lisbon

Yvonne is a tool for the Nazis, spying on the poor devils in Rick's Cafe Americain. The idea comes from Gintomi's "As Time Goes By." That unfinished story has not been updated in over 2 years, so I wrote this. Previously titled "Yvonne's Story."

Louis had always been a gambling man. SLASH Rick/Louis Post-War. Dialogue inspired by His Girl Friday.

Before Casablanca, before Paris, there was New York. Written for Yuletide 2009, to a request for fic about Rick and Sam.

“It only took me five months, and five different women to get over you Ilsa…and here I was thinking that you were the horrible liar.” – Rick reflects on what Ilsa’s departure has done to him.

And epilogue to Casablanca, Louis' POV. Vague unrequited slash. I own nothing. Please review! Enjoy!

How Ilsa met Victor, how Ilsa met Rick.

In times of war, nothing is as easy as it seems. Victor's Pov.

Rick wrote a letter to Ilsa. -- Fanfic better than summary. --

Was Yvonne really just a go to gal? Or could there have been a reason for her taste in men.

A Spanish Jew and her family move to Casablanca to escape the Franco regime and Nazis. Dark times make strange bedfellows in this tale of friendship...THIS IS ON HIATUS AND BEING EDITED. A LOT.
