    Summary

    "Anthony!" Dodie snaps, catching Rocky and the newcomer off guard. Frank hides a smirk behind his hand, pretends he's covering a yawn. Dodie levels one of her ring-laden fingers at Rocky and flexes it with intention. "You're late!"

    Rocky is raising his hands in surrender when the unfamiliar man straightens his back, tightens his grip around his cane, and says, "My apologies, Mrs. Esposito, but Anthony and I got a bit turned around."

    Summary

    It’s been two years, but Matt still deals with the aftermath of Kandahar and everything that came before (and after). Including Frank leaving.
    And Frank? He deals with the guilt. He brought pieces of himself back from Afghanistan but he’s quite sure Matthew never really left the sand.

    Summary

    Frank thinks (knows) there's something Matt is not telling about himself. But it's okay. They don't need to talk about it to deal with the difficult parts.
    Karen gets involved (because that's what she does). And she's now so very certain that Matt is an undiagnosed Aspie.
    Oh, and Frank has a notebook.

    Summary

    “I’m going to kill Fisk,” and he sounds at peace with it, like a man talking in an altar. Making a vow to a loved one. “And I’m going to make sure he suffers before he dies.”

    Daredevil has had one too many bad days and it’s up to the Punisher, somehow, to keep him from doing something extreme and to remind Matt Murdock of who he is.

    Summary

    Some men carried violence in like a storm. This one — Castle — was more than that. Different. And Matt, for all his vows and Sundays, felt the old road tugging at him the moment the stranger stepped through the door.

    Summary

    One of Matt's favorite stories growing up was the story of Battlin' Jack and Uncle Tommy. Jack knew that he loved it; sometimes Matt wouldn't even need to ask to hear it, and Jack would simply tell it if he thought that Matt needed it. When a headache was flaring out, lightning-shocks spiderwebbing from his eardrum to his eyes, or his wrist burnt from an unseen injury, Jack would tousle his boy's hair and tell him about his soulmate.

    Summary

    "So? How did Maggie find out, anyway?" Foggy asks, and the smile drops from Matt's face.

    "Well..."

    Foggy sucks in a sharp breath. "Oh, fuck. Oh no. No, no, no. Don't tell me—oh, for fuck's sake!"

    "No, Foggy, she didn't walk in on anything!" Matt's quick to assure him, and yeah, thank God for that, because that would've been even more awkward and terrible than it already is. "She found condom wrappers. And possibly, the used ones in the trashcan," Matt mutters the last part under his breath, not that it does him much good, because Foggy still hears.

    "That's it. I'm done." Foggy sounds like he's about to throw his phone across the room and Matt can hear him shifting, likely about to get off the bed and start pacing the length of his apartment.

     

    (Or, Maggie thinks Matt has a girlfriend. Who happens to be his... casual sex Frank Castle. Somehow, she becomes the last push they both needed.)

    Summary

    Matt can't see Frank's face, but he can feel him—sense the warmth radiating from his body, the scent of his skin, the softness of his breath.

    He can feel him—in ways that have nothing to do with his heightened senses—and for a moment, Matt feels utterly overwhelmed.

    "Red—?" Frank calls again, probably noticing that Matt is on the verge of tears. "You want to stop?"

    It's a genuine question, and Matt is tempted to tell him the truth: that he doesn't want this to stop. Not now, not ever.

    Summary

    "Didn't think you'd reach out again," Frank says after a long silence, his voice rougher than it was minutes ago.

    "Honestly, I didn't either."

    "What changed?"

    Matt parts his lips, ready to offer some excuse, but in the end he only shrugs. "I don't know. Maybe I'm feeling nostalgic."

    "And in your moment of nostalgia, you chose to call me of all people." It's not a question, though it comes out quieter than usual. Matt shrugs again, even if Frank can't see it.

    "Who else could it be?" Matt lets out a smile, a small thing edged with bitterness and faint self-mockery.

     

    (Or, since he was nine years old, Matt has learned to let go. Some things are easier; others not so much.)

    Summary

    "So, I was thinking," Red begins after they're done, a sheen of sweat still on their bodies. "I'd be easier if I had a phone number I could call. So I don't waste my time wandering the streets for hours."

    He says it like he's joking. But his body doesn't lie. His posture is stiff, and the fingers of one hand are tugging at a loose thread in the cheap blanket.

    It's not a big deal, really.

    So, Frank becomes a booty call. A phone number Red can call when he needs to feel human for a little while, before he slips back into whatever nightmare he's chosen for himself.

     

    (Or, they start off as enemies, become allies (sort of), Frank becomes a booty-call. And something else entirely.)

    Summary

    Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.
