Frank Castle has dealt with criminals, killers, and men who should know better. But he's never dealt with someone like you. You're pretty, persistent, and a little too interested in his personal life. The late-night texts, the anonymous messages, the unsettling knowledge of his routines — it all starts as an annoyance. Until Frank realizes you're not going away. And he's determined to find out who's behind the screen. 🖤

seven years of loving him. five years of running from him. one city that never let her forget. y/n was never just michael berzatto's girlfriend. she was his best friend, his partner in crime, and the girl his entire family loved like their own. together, they were loud, reckless, and disgustingly in love — until mikey's demons became bigger than the life they'd built together. so she left chicago for texas, leaving behind the man she'd promised forever to and a family she'd never stopped loving. now, five years later, she's home. the berzattos are thrilled to have her back. mikey? not so much a simple story. because some things have changed, some wounds never healed, and seven years of loving someone doesn't just disappear because you spent five years apart. especially when your heart never really left chicago.

To her, Benjamin Poindexter is just a slightly awkward man she's happened to cross paths with a couple of times. To him, she's quickly becoming the centre of his entire world. He's desperate for her attention, hopelessly obsessed, and dangerously good at pretending there's nothing wrong. She has no idea she's caught the attention of a man who simply doesn't know how to let go. After all, what's the harm in wanting someone a little too much?

Moving to Chicago was supposed to be a fresh start. A new city, a new job at The Original Beef of Chicagoland, and absolutely no plans to get involved with anyone. Then you meet Michael Berzatto. Loud, cocky, infuriatingly charming, and always ready with a flirtatious grin and a *sweetheart* or *doll*, Mikey is the kind of man you know better than to fall for. But between late-night shifts, stolen glances, teasing remarks, and touches that linger a little longer than they should, keeping your distance becomes increasingly difficult. You're used to taking care of yourself. He's used to making a mess of everything he touches. And somehow, you find yourself wanting to be the one person he lets close, while he becomes the person who makes you feel safe enough to stop holding everything together. But Mikey Berzatto is complicated, unpredictable, and fighting battles you can't win for him. Falling for him was never part of the plan. Neither was becoming his favorite distraction. *Sometimes, the people who make you feel the most wanted are the ones who don't know how to stay.*

Two convicted killers. Two deeply disturbed minds. One psychiatric facility. After murdering your boyfriend and several others, you're sentenced to indefinite confinement in a secure psychiatric institution. Abandonment has always been your greatest fear, and love has always been your greatest weakness. A year into your confinement, Benjamin Poindexter arrives. He's violent, possessive, unpredictable, and just as psychologically troubled as you are. What begins as curiosity soon develops into something far more obsessive. Neither of you knows how to love normally. Jealousy, rage, fixation, and an overwhelming fear of losing each other become part of your twisted connection. Perhaps you've finally found someone who understands you. Or perhaps you've found someone just as capable of destroying you.

All you need is a date for your ex’s wedding. Someone to hold your hand, make your ex jealous, and pretend you’ve moved on. You definitely don’t need Frank Castle. Unfortunately, he’s the only man you trust enough to ask. Frank agrees to be your fake boyfriend, but he has rules. No catching feelings. No making things complicated. And absolutely no pretending this is anything more than it is. Easy enough. Right? Except Frank is a little too good at playing the part. His hand lingers at your waist. His jealousy feels a little too real. And the way he looks at you sometimes makes you wonder if you’re the only one pretending. For you, it’s supposed to be fake. For Frank, it’s supposed to be a favor. But somewhere between the stolen glances, the almost-kisses, and the way he calls you *sweetheart*, the lines begin to blur. Then you overhear a conversation you were never meant to hear. *“It wasn’t real.”* And suddenly, you’re not sure which part hurts more: that you fell for your fake boyfriend, or that he might never have been pretending at all. Because Frank Castle can survive almost anything. But admitting he wants you? That might be the one thing that breaks him.

In another life, Michael Berzatto gets to grow old. He gets to leave Chicago, make mistakes, learn how to live with himself, and become a man he doesn't hate quite so much. But somewhere along the way, he leaves you, too. Years after the end of your relationship, Mikey returns to Chicago expecting nothing more than a chance to come home. He doesn't expect to see you again. And he certainly doesn't expect to discover that you've built a life without him. You're not the person he left behind. You're no longer waiting for his calls, making excuses for his silences, or loving him at the expense of yourself. But some things are harder to forget than others. The way he laughs. The way he says your name. The way, even after all these years, he still feels a little like home. Mikey has spent years learning how to become someone better. Now he has to learn that being better doesn't mean he's owed another chance. **Or: two people who once loved each other get another opportunity to meet, and discover whether love is enough when you're no longer the people you used to be.**

Frank Castle has always come home to you. Sometimes with bruised knuckles. Sometimes with blood on his shirt. Sometimes hours—or days—later than he promised. But he always came back, and for a long time, you convinced yourself that was enough. You loved him through the nightmares, the silences, and every unanswered question. You never asked him to be a better man. You only asked him to let you love the one he already was. But even love has its limits. After two years of waiting for a man who doesn't know how to let himself be loved, you finally do the one thing Frank never expected. You leave. All he finds when he comes home is an empty apartment, a key on the kitchen table, and a letter explaining everything he was too afraid to hear. For a man who has survived losing almost everyone he's ever loved, Frank Castle has never been prepared to lose you. Now, for the first time, coming home means facing the consequences of everything he's taken for granted. And he must decide whether to let you go—or finally fight for the woman who spent so long fighting for him. Because sometimes, the hardest part of loving someone isn't staying. It's realizing you gave them a thousand chances to come home, and they never understood that one day, you might not be there. **Frank Castle x Reader | Angst · Established relationship · Hurt/comfort · Emotional damage · Pining Frank · Second chances · Bittersweet romance**

Loving Mikey Berzatto is a beautiful kind of heartbreak. When he's sober, he's affectionate, funny, and loving, making you feel like you're the only person in the world. But when the alcohol and drugs take over, he becomes someone you barely recognize—cruel, reckless, and determined to push away the person who loves him most. After two years together, you're caught between the man who promises you forever and the man who's slowly destroying himself, wondering how long love can survive when it hurts this much.

Mikey Berzatto doesn't do relationships. No labels, no promises, no expectations. You're his best friend, his favourite bad decision, and the person he calls when the rest of the world becomes too much. Somewhere along the way, the line between friendship and something more gets blurry, and you make the mistake of falling in love with a man who has already told you he can't love you the way you deserve. The problem is, Mikey is awfully good at making you feel like you're the exception. Until someone else wants you, too. And suddenly, the man who swore he never wanted anything serious has a whole lot to say about losing something he never had the courage to claim. Or, Mikey Berzatto wants all the parts of you that feel like home, but doesn't know what to do when you finally stop leaving the door open for him.

Six years together, and you still don't have a ring on your finger. It's not that Mikey Berzatto doesn't love you. He does. In the little things, in the late nights, in the way he always finds his way back to you. You've built a life together, and for a long time, you think that's enough. Until you find the receipt for a ring he never gave you. Suddenly, all the years you've spent waiting for a future together begin to feel like a question you’re afraid to ask. Because Mikey wants forever. He's imagined it a thousand times. He's just convinced that someone like him has no business promising it to someone like you. And you're beginning to wonder how long you're supposed to wait for a man who's already decided he's going to disappoint you. **Or: Mikey Berzatto loves you enough to imagine forever, but is he brave enough to choose it?**

Frank Castle was never supposed to become your favorite bad habit. He's not your boyfriend, doesn't make promises, and has a talent for disappearing before sunrise. But somewhere between his late-night visits, lingering touches, and quiet praise, you've developed a weakness for a man who insists he's not someone worth getting attached to. You want affection. He offers it in fleeting moments. You want to be chosen. He won't even admit he wants you. And Frank Castle has never been particularly good at leaving something alone once it starts to matter to him. **No labels. No promises. Just stolen touches, dangerous men, and feelings neither of you knows what to do with.**

You were never expecting company during the worst snowstorm of the winter. Especially not a bloodied stranger standing on your doorstep, looking like he’d rather bleed to death than ask for help. His name is Frank. He’s quiet, stubborn, and carries enough pain to fill the little house you call home. He says he only needs one night. One night to recover, wait out the storm, and disappear before you can ask too many questions. But one night turns into two. Then three. And somewhere between shared cups of coffee, late-night conversations, and quiet evenings beside the fireplace, the stranger who never intended to stay begins to feel less like a guest and more like home. For the first time in years, Frank Castle finds himself wanting something he cannot protect with a gun or outrun by disappearing. You. But Frank has spent his life surrounded by violence, and the people hunting him are never far behind. When the snow finally melts, he’ll have to decide whether he can risk staying with you—or whether loving you means leaving before his darkness reaches your door. Because sometimes, the most dangerous thing a man like Frank Castle can do is let himself feel at home. And sometimes, the hardest goodbye is the one you never wanted to say. **Frank Castle x Reader | Slow burn · Forced proximity · Hurt/comfort · Angst · Winter romance · Bittersweet ending**

Frank Castle has three rules when it comes to you. Keep you safe. Keep his distance. And never, under any circumstances, let you find out how he really feels. After all, you're his best friend's little sister. You've known Frank for years, and to him, you're still the girl he calls *kid*, the one he checks on when it's late and the one he'd never admit he's grown far too attached to. But you're not a kid anymore. And lately, you've started noticing things. The way Frank always answers your calls, no matter the hour. The way he remembers the smallest details about you. The way his eyes linger a little too long before he looks away, as if he's reminding himself of a line he promised never to cross. Then one terrible night, you show up at his apartment with tear-stained cheeks and a broken heart. Frank doesn't ask questions. He gives you his favorite hoodie, makes room for you on his couch, and stays awake to make sure you're okay. It's just one night. One hoodie. One small act of kindness that means absolutely nothing. Except you start coming around more often. His hoodie becomes a permanent fixture in your wardrobe, his apartment becomes your favorite place to escape, and the man who once kept everyone at arm's length begins making room for you in ways neither of you can explain. Frank Castle knows how to fight. He knows how to survive. What he doesn't know is what to do when the one person he should never want becomes the one person he can't bear to lose. Because you're his best friend's little sister. And he's already in too deep. **He can keep calling you *kid*, but that doesn't explain why he looks at you like you're the only good thing he's got left.** *Frank Castle x Reader | Slow burn · Best friend's little sister · Mutual pining · Protective Frank · Jealousy · Hurt/comfort · Angst · Eventual romance*

You witnessed something you were never supposed to see. Now, someone wants you dead. Enter Frank Castle: your new bodyguard, a man with blood on his knuckles, a permanent scowl, and absolutely no patience for your questions. His job is simple. Keep you alive. Get you through this nightmare in one piece. Don't get attached. He's very good at the first two. The third? Not so much. Between sleepless nights, locked doors, close calls, and Frank constantly putting himself between you and danger, you begin to see the man beneath the violence. The one who remembers how you take your coffee, checks your room before bed, and watches over you long after he thinks you've fallen asleep. Frank insists you're just his responsibility. But responsibilities don't usually make his hands tremble when they're hurt. They don't make him lose his mind when someone threatens them. And they certainly don't make a man like Frank Castle afraid of how much he has to lose. "You're my bodyguard, Frank. You don't have to care about me." "Yeah," he mutters. "That's the problem." He was hired to protect your life. He never expected you to become the one thing he couldn't bear to lose. And if anyone dares to touch you? **God help them.** 🖤
