He was a dead man serving a life sentence in a hell of his own making. You were the only pure thing left in it. Taking place after the events of Daredevil Season 2 and diving into the brutal storyline of The Punisher Season 1, this story follows a fiercely independent university student double-majoring in Abnormal Psychology and Journalism, and her father's grieving best friend, Frank Castle. --- To you, Frank is just a quiet, broken shadow of the man you grew up with-a blue-collar worker drowning in the grief of a murdered family. You have no idea that the bruised, battered man sitting in your living room spends his nights waging a one-man war as the city's most lethal vigilante. Remaining a ghost as Pete Castiglione is the only way he knows how to protect the few innocent people he has left in his periphery. But when a suffocating, unspoken tension ignites between him and his best friend's daughter, his personal defences start to crack. It has to stay a secret. With your father - an NYPD detective and Frank's fiercely loyal friend - standing right between you, every heavy stare and stolen touch is laced with the threat of destroying the only family Frank has left. While Frank desperately tries to keep you safely in the dark, your investigative instincts are too sharp to ignore the blood spilling into your city. As you start digging into the criminal underworld, you inadvertently step closer to the dark, lethal reality he is desperately trying to hide. --- Timeline Note The first few chapters of this book are dedicated entirely to exploring the intense, psychological slow-burn and character dynamic between Y/N and Frank. The events of The Punisher Season 1 will officially begin incorporating into the story around Chapter 14! Author's Note Thank you so much for giving this story a chance! I'll be doing my absolute best to upload a new chapter every other day. I love reading your reactions! Happy reading! ☠︎︎⋆˙⟡

Crossing paths with a handsome human in a town full of undead was the last thing Amelia was expecting. Shane Walsh offers her solace, safety and protection. But which is more dangerous? Surviving the corpse ridden world on her own or falling in love? Shane Walsh x fmc [The Walking Dead, Season 1 & 2] WARNING: This story touches on suicide, death, loss and grief. Also includes language and depictions of violence. (And a lil bit of smut.) #1 in #jonbernthal: March-July, 2023 + Nov, 2023 + Feb, 2024.

Allie has lived next door to Jon for as long as she can remember. He's always been just... there, the quiet house beyond the fence line, the man who keeps to himself, the one who never quite joins the rest of the world. Now she's freshly twenty-one, and everything feels different. He's thirty-five, a retired actor who left Hollywood behind for a quieter life, and he still doesn't belong to anyone, or at least that's what he seems to want people to believe. But distance has a way of changing shape when you've spent years growing up just out of reach of someone.

In a city torn between vigilante justice and the law, Isabel Montesh, a fearless lawyer, finds herself drawn to the enigmatic vigilante known as The Punisher. While others fear the bloodshed he leaves in his wake, Isa sees him as a necessary force against the criminal underworld. When she discovers that Frank Castle, The Punisher's true identity, is in need of adequate legal representation, Isa dives headfirst into the dangerous world of defending the man without a mask. As she navigates through legal challenges and faces opposition from her own prestigious law firm in Hell's Kitchen, she is determined to offer Castle the help he needs. Little does she know that this decision will lead her down a path of intrigue, danger, and unexpected alliances, ultimately shaping her destiny as she becomes not only Frank Castle's lawyer but a key player in the battle for justice in the heart of Manhattan. The lines between law and vigilantism blur as Isa Montesh takes on a case that will test her convictions and redefine her understanding of justice. ATTENTION: This work is based on Marvel's "The Punisher" and "Daredevil", some characters are NOT MY CREATION, some chapters are inspired by episodes of said series.

"Everyone we love is dead Frank. They're gone and ain't ever coming back right?" He shakes his head with clenched teeth, looking away in attempt of un-interest to the point I was making. "Right Frank?" I raise my voice, my tone sounding harsh while grabbing his chin, forcing him to look at me. "There's a war inside us yeah? And the bloodshed wont stop until every last person that needs to pay, pays." Our eyes connect, his hardened stare having softened, almost crumbled under me. "So let's make them pay together."

A girl on the edge of a breakdown. A man with a short fuse. A connection both of them know they shouldn't be feeling.

Dreykov's Widows are some of the world's deadliest assassins. The Red Room has agents deployed all over the world, trained at a secret facility for nearly a century.

(This is not a fanfic) There are secrets that burn more than fire. For me the secret has a first and last name, not to mention he shares drinks with my father in the living room. And obsessive attraction consumed in secret, where every touch is a betrayal and every confession is made in whispers.

Losing her father was one of the worst experiences of Evangeline Winters' life. They said he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. She said they were full of shit. Juggling her job as personal assistant at Nelson and Murdock and her hobby of reporting about the reality of New York and the "heroes" it comes with on her podcast, she devotes the rest of her life to finding out who's at fault for the event that broke her. When she's finds herself present at the place of a massacre due to a debt she owed, she's greeted with the barrel of a gun and a man that evokes an uncomfortable feeling in her gut. A man that might just have all the answers she's searched for so desperately. 𖤓 [daredevil s2] [the punisher 1-2] [frank castle x fem!oc] started: 10.5.24 finished: - i do not own daredevil/the punisher, it's characters or it's plot lines. i only own my ocs and their plots. :)
