summary: karen, back in the swing of babysitting, gets to meet more of the people in frank’s life — and tears open some wounds along the way. characters:frank castle/karen page rating:g warnings:n/a word count: 51.8k+ (ongoing) a/n: listen, i am aware this chapter comes two months after the last one. don’t look at me. it’s been a Time.
If she’d thought taking care of a small child on an unreliable schedule had screwed her sleep schedule, she’d had another thing coming when she’d committed to taking care of said child andher father. She could’ve taken more days off — Frank had offered her the rest of the month, to compensate for his illness — but she’d refused, citing her desire to keep up a regular schedule. Which was true, for the most part, and only partially to cover up the fact that her tiny apartment suddenly felt unbearably empty after almost a week of being around Frank.
Even as tiny as her place was (“it’s not tiny, it’s cozy,” Foggy always said), it felt lonely without the noise of another person. Before she’d started working for Frank, she’d never considered how truly alone she was most of the time. Outside of Foggy and her regular meetings with Ellison, she’d gotten so used to being on her own that other people almost felt like an extraneous bore, an extra weight on her shoulders that she never really wanted.
But with Frank…it was almost like there was no weight at all. Maybe it was because he was gone so often that he didn’t really make much of an impact anyway, or the fact that he was so quiet that she might as well be alone anyway.
But when he did speak…his voice was some kind of missing piece for her brain, a white noise machine she hadn’t known she needed. Not musical, in the sense that movies and romance novels always describe it — no, it was far too rough for that — but comforting in the same kind of way.
God, she ought to take Foggy’s advice on writing schlocky romance novels to supplement her income.
Just some plot advancement, nothin’ spicy. Hope it’s not too boring!
Fic Summary: Reader works in the hospital where Billy Russo keeps his mother. They’ve caught each other’s eye. But she thinks he is the devoted son… little does she know what hides behind a handsome face and expensive suits.
Thursday came by quickly. You had another day shift on Monday, and then night shifts Tuesday and last night. You hadn’t talked to Billy much with him being back at work and you sleeping for the majority of the days you had your night shifts. You had texted your bestie the location of a coffee shop a few days ago, mentioning that Billy had been the one to suggest it. She was impressed.
You were getting ready to go to the coffee shop now. Billy said he’d pick you up at 4, which was soon. You didn’t bother putting on lots of makeup, just the basics to cover up some of the fatigue showing on your face from your previous nightshift.
Your bestie had told you how excited she was, but also reminded you that she hadn’t forgotten when you’d texted her in frustration about him. When he spoke to your boss without telling you and giving a donation to the hospital after you almost got fired. The time when he left in the morning before you could talk about that issue that you had refrained from telling her… when he had brought over tons of cash and weapons and scared the shit out of you.
A/N: This is just a little one-shot I randomly came up with after some BS that happened in my own life. I hope you enjoy it ❤️
Fic Summary: Reader is fed up with the dating world. She’s given up hope on meeting anyone and decides all that’s left for her is a one night stand. Lucky for her, Billy Russo buys her a drink.
Pairing: Female Reader x Billy Russo
Warnings:18+, smut, PIV, explicit sexual content, explicit language, Switch!Billy Russo, Billy asks reader to step on him and she complies, unprotected sex with use of BC pills (in reality, babes, let’s use condoms)
You were so annoyed. Why did it turn out that every guy you talked to ended up wasting your time? What was so wrong with you that you couldn’t attract anyone that wouldn’t lose interest in you or ended up being a dickhead?
You knocked back the rest of your drink and slammed the glass down on the counter. Your date had left, claiming that he didn’t really have the time for anything serious right now, even though that’s what he claimed he was looking for. Now you sat alone at the bar, and you had decided to get wasted.
Initially on your dating search, you were looking for a good guy for the long term, but in this moment, you were just craving anything. You felt desperate for a man’s touch. It had been so long since you’d ‘gotten any’. It didn’t help that you were so particular. A couple of guys had moved in for that right away but the thought of them taking you home with them made your insides twist.
You’d never had a one night stand, but you were wondering if that’s what you were going to have to resort to.
You sighed and picked up your glass, then frowned when you remembered that you had finished it.
“Since that one’s finished, can I buy you the next?” A voice said beside you.
comments and reblogs are my life source just sayin’

After learning about Billy’s past, you found yourself lingering near Carla Russo’s room. You so badly wanted to go in there and rip her apart about what an amazing person she had given up and the resulting trauma that Billy had been through because of her. Ultimately, she was the one responsible for all of his pain. You wanted to make her feel bad. You wanted her to hurt the way Billy had hurt, even though she probably never would. Not with him taking care of her, set up in a private hospital.
But you knew that you couldn’t speak to her. Instead, you settled for something else. When her door was opened, you made a point of standing right in her eye line. She saw you looking at her. Her eyes were calm, as they usually were when you were with her. But you didn’t smile as you usually would. You kept your mouth in a thin line, eyes cold. You crossed your arms over your chest. Carla’s eyes didn’t remain calm. You watched them turn panicky the way you’d seen them when Billy left after a visit. You stared at her for another 10 seconds or so before you turned and walked away.
Bestie you keep slaying with these updates! I’m a living for themmmmm. And as for the feeling of impending doom, I’ve learned not to trust things that could seem 100% perfect. So ironically the fact that they haven’t gotten horrible my attacked or angsty yet is a plot twist for me.
And what you said about Billy thing that he doesn’t deserve love and affection??? That is 1000% what he would believe and you got his characterization down so well! I can’t wait to see how he grows with reader and how she grows with him.
