She keeps getting into dead-end relationships with guys who could never fully appreciate her intelligence, beauty, wit. He hates watching it all happen from the sidelines, knowing that he could be the spark to ignite her fire. That she could be the voice of reason that he desperately needed which would calm his raging seas of irrationality. But it wasn't his place to interfere with her love life. And she was too oblivious to see his frustrations. She was his queen. But he was only her partner.

But what if a certain cardiac surgeon caused the pair to meet each other at the crossroads? Would he break out of the cage she unknowingly put him in? Or would it just be locked even tighter?


A/N: Hello everyone! Thank you for choosing to read my first ever Castle fic and first entry back into the writing world after almost a year. This will be a chaptered fic, and I hope you enjoy the journey with me :)

Please note that I am very late on the Castle bandwagon and have only started watching since the beginning of this year. Therefore, I've only watched up to Season 4 so if there's any inaccuracies, that's probably why. Thank you for being understanding!
