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

Honora, known as Nora, is twenty-three years old when she leaves Seattle after a painful breakup with Isaac. Worn down by the pressure of college life and the relentless chaos of the city, she returns to her father's home in the small town of Riverfront, Oregon, planning to stay from September until Christmas.

Some lingering glances are even harder to hide.

Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) is the new man next door-older, guarded, and carrying a past Y/N knows better than to ask about. What starts as innocent neighbourly familiarity slowly turns into something neither of them can ignore. He knows the age gap is a line he shouldn't cross. Y/N is beginning to wonder why she wants him to.
