Authors note: As the title states,this will be a running chronology of every Castle episode, past, present and future.
Each chapter will comprise one episode and will be numbered as such. (1x1= year 1, episode 1)

Castle:
The Chronology
1x1
There were flowers on her body
And flowers on her grave
She was the second victim
A connection had been made.
The detective loved his stories
And she was his biggest fan
That was until the party
Where she finally met the man.
He was a rugged dandy
Who flogged in death as trade
He longed for something different
What he found was starch and staid.
She took him to her fortress
And held him in her chair
They spoke of eyes and horses
And of his ally in the mayor.
She asked to see his letters
And he bestowed them unto her
While beseeching higher powers
Wanting only to confer.
He won the seat before her
And read her stoic face
She cast aside his parlor trick
And put him in his place.
The yellow queen was found adrift
On a sea of tranquil blue
A third bespeaks of madness
So there is no motive due.
They descended on his secret place
Where his secret thoughts were held
They found his trophied items
And the cupboard where he dwelled.
The author pondered o'er the wretch
There must be more than crazy
For if this was the fated end
It all had come too easy.
He dismissed the final rendering
As a shamus' stock and store
Presenting her a fond remembrance
He took away much more!
She called upon his mother
To find him hard at work
She threw her irons upon him
And gathered what he took.
The gesture of his freedom
That he'd offered up for truth
Was more than she could ever
And it shamed the driven sleuth.
He pondered in his chariot
She pondered on her wall
They met up at the tower
It was not a social call.
They converged after the meeting
And spoke of ails and apples
They spoke of the million reaons
Why sons would kill the daughters.
They traveled in her borrowed steed
To confront the only son
When presented with his alibis
They left knowing what he'd done.
With stolen papers and stolen words
He'd formed his plan of action
He'd placed the sun upon her eyes
And graced her body with deception.
They arrived with boisterous fanfare
To catch this man they'd missed
But first she bound the dandy
With a chain about his wrist.
She bound him once to humor
She bound him twice to shame
Had he not foreseen her promise
He'd only himself to blame.
He glimpsed the missing man
As he absconded from his folly
He hailed her to the flight
And pursued him down the alley.
She tracked them to a corner
Where he held his hostage fast
He was dumbfounded by summation
That exposed his horrid past.
The narration ended with flourish
Thrusting home like Cyrano
Brushing off her fleeting anger
He let her in on the tableau.
The pair parted with flirtations
Her tease lilting in his ear
He longed to follow her away
But could only stop and stare.
Later in the morrow
She faced the man again
And found herself imprisoned
For how long, was up to him!
