    Summary

    this was what they meant, he thought, in the haftarot of consolation, behold I will set your stones with carbuncle, and I will lay your foundations with sapphires, the foundations of his soul had been cleared out and replaced with glittering stones and he felt— free, unencumbered, like nothing and nobody could hurt him, not ever again.

     

    Pittsburgh, 1986-1990.

    Summary

    “…The modern viewer must remember that prior to the 1960s, soulmark portraits were the ultimate in taboo. But one can see how an artist like Captain Rogers would feel compelled to pick up his sketchbook…

    ...Captain Rogers never did a self-portrait; we can only speculate who his soulmate — or soulmates — might have been."

    Summary

    Honestly, Foggy’s just kind of grateful that the unconscious dude in the alley by his apartment isn’t beat up as bad as Matt was when he found him that first time.

    He also kind of thinks it says a lot about his life right now that those are his feelings on the subject, but it’s best not to analyze that.

    Where Foggy accidentally becomes bros with the Avengers, Foggy and Matt talk it out, and the Avengers and Matt don't seem to grasp the concept that the "s" in "friends" is there for a reason.

    Summary

    Frank Castle tries to keep his head down, once he gets back to New York.

    He slips, sometimes, catches himself thinking about Matt. He catches himself remembering. He finds himself dreaming, or worse, daydreaming.

    But he's nothing if not disciplined, and if his mind doesn't follow orders, at least his body does.

    He tries to keep his head down.

    Tries, being the operative word.
