I'm gonna guess Morra demon: they use swords, we know they take contracts, they smell demon-y without being vampire-y or Polgara-y, and they have enough strength to lift a woman off the ground while gutting her.
Buffy Canon.
...I will enjoy seeing Castle lie his way out of this one.
Or will this be the cat that broke the demon's back?
Buffy Canon.
There's a specific type of demons that like kittens as snacks, so they invented a set of poker where kittens are used as tokens, like potato chips or cookies.
I like the story, but you are making too many references to the main cast of the other series. There's no real point to it here, other than saying "See, this is part Buffy too, see?" It's a trap many crossover writers fall into.He shook those unpleasant thoughts off and focused on slightly less unpleasant ones: How to crash a demon den. "I'll think we'll do it the 'Buffy Way', Vi," he said, and her face lit up with a feral smile. She liked the straight forward and simple approach more than having multiple entry locations and scouting beforehand, also known as 'the Xander Way'.
brusque"Where are you, Castle?" She sounded more happy than annoyed, despite the brusk address.
I have to kind of agree here. I don't follow Buffy at all, so when there's a reference to a secondary character, and the way they do something, I'm "um ... okay?"I like the story, but you are making too many references to the main cast of the other series.

Like kitten poker. That basically came out of nowhere for me. I had no idea what it was about.
Which missed - shotgun rounds are not people.Vi drew her pistol, but didn't manage to get more than one shot off - who missed the jewel in the monster's forehead - before she had to defend herself in melee against the demon's sword.
From the context of the next line, which has the door closed, this should be 'too busy slamming the door shut'.He wanted to curse at her when she grabbed the basket of yowling kittens, almost dropping her sword in the process, but he was too busy to slam the door shut.
galleon = sailing ship or Harry Potter currency.Figures, he thought - he had a dozen stitches and what felt like a galleon of blood and plasma poured into his veins, and the detective was fussing over the girl with supernatural healing. Males always got the short end of the stick.
Wow, really powerful action there.

gallon = unit of liquid measure
His hisRick aimed his shotgun at an open drum with one hand and held his his side with the other.
I'm surprised Beckett didn't call him on the fact that his explanation of why he was there, while reasonably plausible in itself, quite contradicts what he told her on the phone when she called.

It's not the understandability that's the problem. It's unnatural, it doesn't flow well.Eh. In this case you can pretty much figure out what they mean via context (he tells you that the Xander mood involves careful planning and tactics and implies the Buffy method is the opposite) so I'm not really seeing a problem.

How do you know you are watching an advertisement? When they say things like "I drink 100% all-natural Guardian Juice!" instead of "When I'm thirsty, I drink juice."
When the author shoehorns references in, it seems unnatural. People simply don't think or speak that way.
"Straight in, or recon?"I beg to differ. If you have basically two people who trained you, Xander and Buffy, then referring to their different styles by their names is not unnatural but something that can happen easily within a group - especially if it's a teenage group. (Castle's not exactly the poster boy for mature adult.) I didn't think "Hey, now I want to refer Xander or Buffy", I thought "We've got two different styles of attacking a house, how would the Scoobies call them?"
God forbid she actually manages to pin down a date on that 'California camping trip' Castle took.
Because if she does, it's almost certain that she'll match it up with the 'Great Sunnydale Sinkhole' or whatever they ended up calling it.
From there...well. Sunnydale, man. Sunnydale. Honestly, I'd imagine Beckett trying to dig into that mess, maybe even calling in a favor from her 'friend' in the FBI and being politely told by the military that, "Sunnydale is a lot like Fight Club. We don't talk about it. Ever."
...and won't that just be galling? I mean, it's one thing for Richard Castle to be a millionaire, a successful novelist, and shockingly competent under fire.If Beckett starts looking into that time, she'll find out just what happened to Castle's last employer. So far she hasn't looked at the Council yet, just went from the bio of Castle. But once she realizes the Club he has been working as a librarian has gotten bombed? Secret Agent theory for sure!
...and won't that just be galling? I mean, it's one thing for Richard Castle to be a millionaire, a successful novelist, and shockingly competent under fire.
It's entirely another thing for him to be, "Castle, Richard Castle," ala James Bond.
...is she going to come to the conclusion that he's an elite counter-terrorism operative or something? That would be funny as hell.
