The funny thing is, I had already (in my pre-bedtime moments) been scribbling bits of a story with fairy-tale motifs and this title, long before I had caught up with the show.

Summary: Working with Finch, he feels like the princess in a fairy tale, told never to open the last lock, never to peek in the cellar or light the candle by the bed. Of course any self-respecting princess would look. (Spoilers through 2x02.)
