112Dreaming Demons » by
Father Vengeance
A complete reimagining set into the timeslot of Demons (and that's pretty much all they have in common) with a greater lean towards the supernatural in favor of the holiday season creeping upon us. Rated T (for now) for instances of adult language, violence, and sexual content. Cover art is a cut from The Nightmare by Swiss painter Henry Fuseli. #CastleHalloweenBash

The Stranger » by
greygoose70
Who is this man, what does he want, why is he here? Disclaimer: Don't own anything in regards to the show except for the characters I made up. AN: The story Castle is writing is in Italics; Standard Font is the time between his writing time. Complete story is 17 chapters so don't be discouraged just because it's marked COMPLETE as I have some minor editing to do first.
