Summary
eddie's not entirely sure he believes in getting help, at least not for himself. there's only so much healing to be had for a body torn apart by bullets, for a mind that's only half there, for a man who's been leaving pieces of himself behind all his life with nothing to take their place.
except, as it turns out, falling apart happens in increments, and healing does, too: it happens when you gnaw a hole in your lip trying to keep quiet only to have the words escape; when you realize that the ghost you've been seeing out of the corner of your eye is yourself; when your best friend smiles, and you allow it to take your breath away.
it happens through the smallest of things: bird feeders, and cacti, and pasta shapes.
meanwhile, the world goes on.
(or: the entity often affectionately referred to as the unrepression fic.)

Summary
Frank’s hand, cupping the side of her face. Frank’s eyes, meeting her across the truck’s cabin. Frank’s mouth, forming soft words that she barely hears. And then he’s flipping the center console up and unbuckling her seat belt, dragging her across the seat towards him as he wraps her up in his arms.
He smells like pine trees.
“Breathe,” Frank is telling her, the word a soft caress on the shell of her ear. His hand rubs along her spine soothingly. “Just breathe, Karen.”
(Or, Karen's dad dies and she has to deal with the fallout. Thankfully, she's not doing it alone.)

Summary
It’s been two months since the hotel and the chaos and the carousel. Matt died mysteriously, and now, as a new year begins, Karen Page is feeling more alone than ever. Death seems to cling to her, and even though Frank Castle is out there (and leaving little gifts on her windowsill), he isn’t talking.
Everything changes again when Karen is confronted by her past. Her deepest secret (her “first rodeo”) was buried in a small-town cemetery nearly a decade ago, but now it’s haunting her again. Jason Chatham, Todd’s older brother, has learned that it was Karen who was truly responsible for Todd’s death. He’s out for revenge, any way he can get it, and in order to survive this shit storm Karen is going to need to trust someone with her secrets.
Good thing she knows a dead man. After all, dead men tell no tales.
OR:
The one where Karen knows all of Frank's secrets, but he doesn't know any of hers. She learns to trust him with more than her life, and he learns what 'after' might look like.
