After the death of her grandfather, she came to New York looking for something simple.
A new beginning.
A quiet life.
Something that belonged only to her.
Then she met him.
He was everything she should have stayed away from.
Older. Dangerous. Complicated. A man carrying more ghosts than he would ever admit to.
They weren't even supposed to meet twice.
But somehow, they kept finding themselves on the same side.
And the more time they spend together, the harder it becomes to ignore the connection between them.
Because some people enter your life by chance.
Some stay for reasons you don't understand.
And sometimes, the things we leave behind aren't really gone.

By Your Side | Frank Castle
When your family cancels on your summer vacation at the last minute, your roommate drags you along on her family's annual wilderness camping trip. You weren't thrilled about spending a week surviving chaotic family games and sleeping in a tent, until you met her dad's best friend, Frank Castle. Tall, broad-shouldered, and fiercely protective, the single "uncle" immediately throws your sanity off balance. Between late-night confessions and shared jackets, surviving the outdoors is no longer your priority-getting railed against a pine tree before the week ends is. kurustarr on ao3 + tiktok ₊˚⊹♡⊹˚₊Concluida
The Neighbor
You've moved to a new city, for a new job, into a new apartment building. You're excited for the new beginnings, despite the anxiety of moving to a new place by yourself. While you don't count on it, at least not yet, you're also looking forward to meeting new people and making new friends. What you also don't count on is the kind of people living in your apartment building. Frank Castle. The Punisher. But to you, for now, just the mysterious next-door neighbor. You don't see him much, only in passing as you guys are coming or going, or on occasion in the mail room. He's tall, and handsome, of course - you're not stupid - but you have sworn off of relationships in this new opportunity to find yourself. Neither of you should be interested. Neither of you want to be interested. And yet... you're both beyond intrigued by your neighbor.
close enough
You moved into a new building four months ago. Closer to work, a great café on the corner, the park nearby. It was a good choice. Your neighbor in 4B is anything but close. Frank Castle is stubborn, quiet, gets in too late, and stares a little too much. His bruises don't come with explanations. His words are two syllables or less. And his arms are hard not to stare at... Lucky for you, his dog decided yours was his new best friend. And eventually, close enough stops being enough. * * * NO USE OF Y/N. medium-ish burn. This is NOT a lore/canon accurate punisher character study (no dead family/frank is just an asshole). pieces of MCU lore are cherrypicked and sprinkled throughout for gentle immersion, those characters i DO NOT OWN. Expect: neighbors, dogs, thin walls, grumpy Frank, mutual staring, questionable "security work," tension, feelings against everyone's better judgment, and eventually an absolutely irresponsible amount of smut.
Between us
Cassie Lawson a young, sweet twenty-six years old has come to the conclusion that love is not meant to find her, believing it must always come with a price. she has always lived in a world built on silence, secrets, and rules that no one dares to question. That's until she met Jon Bernthal, cold. Untouchable. Feared by everyone around him. The more they both try to stay away, the more impossible it becomes to ignore the tension growing between them. Some boundaries are meant to be crossed. Some sins are impossible to resist, even for innocent, kind Cassie.
The Night Shift Neighbor | Jon Bernthal X Reader
Working the night shift means Y/N is used to strange things happening after dark-but the mysterious man living across the hall might be the strangest yet.

Rules or Love (Jon Bernthal)
He is her uncle's best friend. Fifteen years older than her. The man who has known since she was eighteen. The man who walks into a room and somehow makes everyone notice. Jon is older, confident, protective, and completely woven into her family's life. He's the kind of man she should see as untouchable. A family friend. A trusted man. A line she should never cross. And yet... There's something about him that makes every rule feel a little harder to remember. The age gap was already a problem. The fact that he's her uncle's best friend? That's where the real trouble begins. Because wanting the one man you're absolutely not supposed to want has a way of turning every innocent moment into something dangerous. Fifteen years older. Completely off-limits. And unfortunately, exactly her type. 🖤

After Hours
He has one rule: protect her 24/7 and keep his distance. Frank Castle is mature, cold, and disciplined to a fault-the family's most trusted bodyguard, an unshakeable presence. She is stubborn, defiant, and determined to test his every limit. By day, their relationship is strictly professional. But once the lights go out, forced proximity and heavy silences begin to chip away at Frank's iron restraint. Some lines should never be crossed. Especially after hours.Concluida
Between Her and the Dark | Frank Castle x OC
This is a slow burn with high stakes, plenty of spice, and a man who will burn the world down before he lets anyone touch her. Violet never planned on running, but when the life she knew falls apart, staying put isn't an option anymore, and staying alive becomes the only thing that matters. That's when she finds Frank Castle, or maybe he finds her. Either way, the Punisher has no reason to help a stranger and even less reason to care what happens to her, except somehow he does anyway. What starts as survival turns into something neither of them expected, and somewhere in between the danger, the tension, and the quiet moments that follow it, Frank becomes the reason she's still breathing. In more ways than one. ⚠️ Warnings - please read before continuing: Adult themes (18+) Spicy/explicit content Graphic violence Mentions of sexual assaultConcluida
