Moving into a new apartment was supposed to be the beginning of something normal. Then you met the man across the hall. Frank Castle is quiet, intimidating, and seemingly allergic to conversation. For three weeks, the two of you barely exchange a word-until 11:42 one night, when a number you don't recognize sends you a message. "You home?" Before you can question why your mysterious neighbor has your number, another message appears. "Lock your door." Someone has been sitting outside your building for three nights. Watching. Taking pictures. And somehow, Frank knows. What begins as an unwanted rescue quickly pulls you into a world Frank has spent years trying to keep buried-a world of safe houses, guns, old enemies, Karen Page, and a man named Billy Russo. The closer danger gets, the closer you and Frank become. And that's exactly what terrifies him. Because Frank Castle has already learned what happens to the people he loves. And Billy Russo has just realized Frank might finally have someone worth losing again. Slow burn | Frank Castle x Reader | Action | Mystery | Protective Frank | Romance

Power is what will destroy them. From sworn enemies to reluctant allies, there is nothing 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐯 wouldn't do, nobody she wouldn't use to reach what her mind has been fixated on for years. Revenge. She's inhumane. Emotionless. Messed up in the head-a diagnosed ASPD mind turned into something precise, something dangerous. A machine. The underworld doesn't call her by name. They call her the flame behind the ghost don. The living requiem. Nyx. And when something like her sets her sights on a target? She takes. Uses. Burns everything necessary to get what she wants.

And this time, she chose to play.

She sings to the world. He lives on the screen. They fall in love between fame, distance, and impossible schedules. It's complicated, fragile, and messy, but it's theirs.
