One of the things I love most about Kastle is the contrast in their outfits. Karen's always wearing a nice blouse, pencil skirt, and heels. Whereas Frank's always in jeans, a hoodie, and a hood/hat (when he's not in the hospital or jail). They're the worlds sexiest non-couple.

For the longest time lunch had felt like a push, something she’d guilted him into, practically blackmailed him into with threats of outing him in the paper, or even hunting him down in the middle of whatever he got himself into if he couldn’t agree to a weekly lunch like civil acquaintances. Friends? No word really covered all of what they were to each other…or, at least, what he was to her. What she was to him, she could only guess at, especially now. And that was the problem, wasn’t it? She was tired of guessing. She wanted to know.
Karen hatches a plan to determine how Frank feels about her, once and for all - if they're only friends, or something more. Frank is a little slow on the uptake.

A short little one-shot that developed out of a much longer work that I've almost finished for these two. It didn't fit in the big story, so I made it its own, smaller story. I hope you enjoy it!
Many thanks to the lovely @garglyswoof for the beta!

A little moodboard for the 10+ chapter fic I've been working on (pre-BB scandal *le sigh*) that I've been waiting to post. To be honest, I've actually posted 4 chapters so far on ao3. Are we ready for it here??

20 Questions for Fic Writers Game
tagged by the wonderful @autisticempathydaemon (chrissy my beloved <33 also you HAVE to let me know if you start writing for castleaudios >:3)
tagging - you, reading this!! also (no pressure!): @dominimoonbeam @glassbearclock @taelonsamada @romirola @lovelylonerliterature @genginger @ninzied @evilbunnyking @nerdierholler @commander-krios @chroniclesinlacuna @kesla @mordinette @garglyswoof @nagia-pronounced-neijia
1 - How many works do you have on AO3?
oh god, 128! but this is an underestimate, because i've anon'd some older fics/fandoms hehehe. i've been 'round ao3 since 2012!
2 - What's your total AO3 word count?
498,649... now this is actually accurate. 300k of that is from 2020 until now. basically the pandemic got me on a writing kick.
3 - What fandoms do you write for?
SO MANY. 19 according to ao3, but right now? baldurs gate & redacted audios >:3 there is another halsin fic in the works...
4 - What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
oh god. okay. you'll get some older fics here: 1. got me on my best (bad) behaviour 2. Call me scent o' mental, but I'm crazy about you (teen wolf....) 3. all bark, no bite 4. devils and ghosts (frank castle / karen page!! love this one heh) 5. sweeter than honey (ofc halsin makes it ahaha)
5 - Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
YES. there are only a few exceptions, when I've written something that touches close to home / a sensitive topic.
6 - What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
hmm...bittersweet endings were my wheelhouse for a long time. OKAY. let's do this one: too little, too late. caroline forbes and klaus mikaelson, set at the end of the originals. yeah.
7 -What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
....nowadays, I mostly write happier endings sadhfjk lets go with: bioluminescence, which follows on from the events of blood moon (@/barbwrites) and takes marco on a roadtrip to see luminescent algae up close and personal. (it's a loveletter to a summer I spent in california during a really difficult period of my life, and this fic means a lot to me <3)
8 - Do you get hate on fics?
I've not gotten hate, but I've definitely had some interesting comments over the years, for a variety of reasons, usually to do with the person's personal views. (one story had the main character smoking pot to calm their anxiety, and someone was not happy with that)
9 - Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
YEP. Smut with feelings is my FAVOURITE thing. I prefer sensual descriptions, because it is all about feelings and sensations with me. as an ace writer, I also like kink and monster fuckery heheheh.
10 - Do you write crossovers?
Not at all ahahahaha. Have I ever written a crossover? I don't think so. I love AUs though, and pacific rim AUs are one of my favourite concepts in fandom.
11 - Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes, and it was teen wolf, and honestly not one of my best. it was a hatchet job, they took random paragraphs and spliced it / wrote around it? someone flagged it to me in a comment, and it was taken down. all in all, a very weird experience.
12 - Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but gosh, that'd be cool! <- stealing from lexi, agreed, would be awesome <3
13 - Have you ever co-written a fic before?
YES. It was FUN. It was a series of conversations between an estranged father and son, Colm and Milo Greer, with the incredibly talented @frenchiefitzhere (also tagging you for this meme!!). it's still one of my favourite things: An Honest Man Like Yourself
14 - What's your all time favorite ship?
ALL TIME FAVOURITE? How dare you. I love all my ships afjkdsfg Shakarian is pretty high up there. Kastle (karen page/ frank castle). All the werewolves from redacted. <3
15 - What's a WIP that you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
ahhhh. okay. 'wander. wonder.' my poly longfic. don't hate me, but honestly, I've just not got the space for a longfic at the moment. never say never, but I've caught up with the chapters I had worked up, everything else is a vague outline. <3
16 - What are your writing strengths?
oof. I want to say character. most of the fun for me when writing is getting inside a characters head and figuring out their voice >:3
17 - What are your writing weaknesses?
Structuring longer, multi-chaptered stories - basically figuring out the pacing of it. I'm working on an original project, and I love it, but the first series of major edits will be breaking up my alternating POV sections into proper chapter breaks and letting myself linger more in moments instead of pushing forward (habits of a oneshot writer fdsds)
18 - Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I've been meaning to have my estonian friend critique my estonian, but I'm pretty positive the 'bond' I referred to is actually the money kind, and not the emotional attachment I'd been hoping to refer to hfjdkssfdg. I do as much research as I can, but it's best to run it past someone who speaks the language!
19 - First fandom you wrote for?
hehehehe naruto. yep. I was a naruto kid. first posted online in 2007......
20 - Favorite fic you've written?
WHAT A QUESTION. honestly, I love what I have been writing the last three years. I've really let myself just write what I want to read, and it's been great. i'm going to cheat, and say the original project I'm working on that I won't let anyone see heheheh. <3 it's got werewolves, kink and explicit consent, and spun out a whole verse for me to play with (and a fun MMF sidestory that I also need to finish...)
gods this got LONG. Thank you for making it this far!! <3

Lost Frank Castle x Karen Page fic
Hi! So I don't really interact with anyone on Tumblr but I don't really know what else to do, so here we go. I'm back on my Kastle bullshit <3 and I've been trying to find this old fan fiction on AO3 that I started reading years ago. Stopped reading after a certain point but had the tab open on my phone and I thought I'd continue reading eventually.. And then my phone got stolen, and I forgot the title & author name. Not great. I've dedicated the past few days to looking for it and so far I got nothing.
So what I'm gonna do is write down everything I remember like a mad woman in the hope that this jogs someones memory. Please help me this fic haunts me. ANY sort of reference or whatever could potentially help (Tumblr posts, links, screenshots, Google history, etc)
Fandom: Daredevil/ the Punisher obv
Pairing: Frank Castle/ Karen Page
Rating: probably explicit (canon typical violence and eventual smut)
Published: 2016-2017 (started post s2 Daredevil but pre The Punisher s1 because I don't remember any of the plot or characters from that show showing up) might have been deleted in 2020ish
Length: has to be +10 chapters (long chapters as well, don't know if it was finished)
Characters: Matt Murdock/ Daredevil, Foggy Nelson, Claire Temple, Elektra Natchios (I vividly remember them making some sort of appearance)
now let's get really unhinged...
Plot:
Pretty sure the story starts on Karen's birthday but her mood is meh.. She's on her way home or something, gets in her car and Shining Star starts playing which let's her know that Frank was recently there. Something else must have alarmed her because she goes looking for him and finds him in like an alley around her building. He's in really bad shape, bloody practically dying. She carries him to her apartment and either helps him herself or calls Claire Temple.*
*Don't think it was in this part of the story but she helps Frank and makes a joke about him not being healthy enough to be sleeping with Karen anytime soon which makes them blush. Don't think they were intimate yet but tensions were rising.
For the next couple of chapters I remember it was mainly beautifully written angst between them in this contained space while he's healing. Karen doesn't want Frank to get killed while being the Punisher, he resists her care and tries to hurt her by saying "You aren't Maria and could never be" or something.
I also vividly remember a scene where he's grieving and keeps like tugging on this necklace Karen has on while he cries in her arms. She leaves her necklace at his family's graves and the groundskeeper or something tells her not to do that because it'll get stolen but she knows that but does it anyway as a sign of respect.
They sort admit their feelings eventually but don't sleep together yet because they know they can't go back after that. For some reason Frank needs to leave the city for a little while to re-home a dog I believe he found while on a "mission" and the idea is that the time apart will help them decide whether or not they want to be together. They reunite on a sunny, lovely day in the city and go back to her apartment and lots of smut ensues. Daredevil shows up at midnight/ morning to get Frank. Something's going down he needs his help. It doesn't end well somehow Karen gets involved and they both go to the same hospital. Frank is in a coma and Karen visits him when she's allowed and urges him to live sort of mirroring when he first got shot in the head at the carousel. He wakes up but needs to go back to prison. Everything is really bad. The press somehow knows about their relationship as well. Last scene I remember is Karen and Foggy talking about all this and a newspaper printing a picture of Karen's legs with the caption Keys to the Castle? or something. Gross everything sucks and that's where I stopped reading.
So that's about all I can remember, feels like a fever dream. If anyone could help me out I'd really appreciate it. Thx!!

5, 25 and 26 for the asks please xx
5. What's a fic idea you've had that you will never write?
Specifically related to KISS (since that's the only fandom I'm current writing for) - my original idea for 'KISS Kastle' was a self-insert or reader or OFC - it was planned to be set in the early 70s, KISS are living together in a gothic mansion in Upstate New York. The girl/reader is moving from New England to somewhere further south and her car breaks down in the rain ala RHPS right in front of the KISS Kastle. Obviously she needs to use the phone. Gene answers the door in full Demon getup and they wind up having a romantic encounter on the couch in front of the fireplace. For some reason the car can't be fixed and KISS needs someone to cook/clean/do laundry/sleep with them so somehow Dear Reader stays and has romances with all of them, eventually falling in love with Ace, who breaks her heart by being married. It was of course just an excuse to write smut about all of the original four. In the end I changed the idea because I wanted to write m/m instead, so Ace replaced the reader character and slept with the rest of them.
25. Have you ever upset yourself with your own writing?
Hahaha - well, I cried when I wrote Chapter 14 of "Shandi" - where Shandi leaves Paul, and I cry every time I go back and read it, even though that was the planned ending the whole time because it was a prequel to "Strange Ways" where Paul ends up with Ace. It was really just meant to be bittersweet and not sad, and I did try to write the Shandi character to be a reader insert but of course, it's my own personal Mardi Gras with Paul fantasy.
26. Is there something you've written than you would never want your family to see?
My family is basically just my mother, who is in her 80s and would be less interested in reading sexy KISS fanfiction that I would be wary of showing it to her. That poor woman has to listen to me ramble about KISS enough as it is. I mean, I do tell her about the stories sometimes but that's different than directly reading erotic gay smut, of course.
Thanks for the asks!

20 Questions for Fic Writers Game
i wasn't directly tagged but i have put off the open tag from @ejunkiet long enough and i'm also bored, so since i'm sure a ton of people have already done this i won't tag anyone, but if you do it i want to see it!
1 - How many works do you have on AO3?
an even 40.
2 - What's your total AO3 word count?
just shy of 170k, which absolutely blows my mind because it doesn't seem like that's possible.
3 - What fandoms do you write for?
previously hawaii five-0 and teen wolf, but i'm currently attempting to write for red, white and royal blue.
4 - What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
all are teen wolf except one, but in order: (Waiting) Until the Sky Falls Down on Me; Today and Every Day; I'm Gonna Give All My Secrets Away; Man, Interrupted; and it's my (pants) party and i'll cry if i want to. this gives a pretty comprehensive idea of what i'm about lol.
5 - Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
i'm usually very good about it but they used to build up and i get anxious thinking about responding to all of them lol. but i love responding to them when i can!
6 - What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
i don't really do angsty endings? i just went back and checked every ending and if it's not entirely happy it's at least hopeful lmao. i don't think it's in me to do angsty endings.
7 -What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
i've got a lot of happy endings but i'm gonna have to go with The Comedy (Is That It's Serious) because that fic was really just me dealing with my mom having and then beating cancer and that kind of feels like the happiest ending.
8 - Do you get hate on fics?
i never gotten hate, but i did get someone telling me to make changes now that we knew what happened in canon (i speculated about sibling names) and it was just a weird thing to suggest.
9 - Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
i have, but it's not my most favorite thing to do? i have to be in a very specific mood and it has to be necessary. i don't think i can write pwp lol. i don't think i've written smut that wasn't some form of connection/expression of love.
10 - Do you write crossovers?
i don't. i do enjoy a good crossover though!
11 - Have you ever had a fic stolen?
one was posted to goodreads during that whole fiasco and i had it taken down, but man did the comments on that hurt lol. i don't write because i think i'm particularly good at it, i do it for fun. so yeah that kind of sucked but occasionally i was like "yeah that's fair lol"
12 - Have you ever had a fic translated?
not to my knowledge, but i'd love it!
13 - Have you ever co-written a fic before?
i haven't! i'd love to someday. i think i do my best when i can collaborate/bounce ideas off someone.
14 - What's your all time favorite ship?
i mean in terms of bookmarks, 1000% sterek. firstprince is very much up there. kastle is my all time favorite het ship and i'll never forgive the fact that we didn't get them outright confessing their feelings. never. mcdanno is there too. (i made a lot of friends from the mcdanno fandom.) once upon a time i'd have said destiel but that fandom really tainted that for me.
15 - What's a WIP that you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
hahahahahaha i talk about this one on a semi-regular basis, but i have like 13k of a post-series Person of Interest fic that i'm probably never gonna finish but it's got some really good shit in it. i've thought about reworking it to make it an au for another fandom but it's so deeply reese and finch that i'd have to rewrite every piece of dialogue. and it would require people having seen the show because it won't make any damn sense without it. (i'd consider sharing it though.)
16 - What are your writing strengths?
introspection and character analysis, for sure. i love just kind of flaying a character open and digging into their thoughts and feelings and what motivates them. the most fun. also writing really off the wall shit. it hasn't failed me yet lol.
17 - What are your writing weaknesses?
any kind of worldbuilding. i also don't think i'm particularly good at smut but i'm also not using cringe euphemisms (the worst one i've ever read was "chocolate star" and i'll let you imagine what that was describing, if i have to know it so do you) so i'll say my smut is at least passable lol.
18 - Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
i mean, it's fine? i don't really think about it much except when i have to go all the way down to the notes section to figure out what's being said and then jump back to where i left off. whatever happened to doing that thing where you hover over the phrase and the translation pops up above it?
19 - First fandom you wrote for?
first fandom i ever published for was teen wolf. first attempt at anything was criminal minds. it didn't go well.
20 - Favorite fic you've written?
so going back to 16, the things i had the most fun writing were, for introspection, definitely Written in the Scars on Our Hearts (about all the ways a person can be touched either physically or emotionally), and for off the wall, Got Your Body On My Mind (I Want It Bad) because that venn diagram joke is some of my best work. the comments section was so great lol.

Ok if I take a mini break from Spidersilk and all of its fluffy and saccharine energy because I am not doing it justice to write a dark/bloody/angsty reporter/vigilante “we dated and we broke up and now we want to kill and fuck each other with equal fervor” Kastle fic to vent my rage and stress would that be something

20 questions for fic writers
thank u for the tag @freetobeyouandmichi-me
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
19
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
91k
wow didn’t realize id published so little. this is purely because i am a miserly old man who hoards fics. i have probably twenty finished lucifer fics sitting in my drive. and no one will ever get to see them 💙
3. What fandoms do you write for?
currently? really none. in the past? mainly miraculous ladybug, lucifer, carry on (simon snow) & the last of us
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
it’s how we show love - tlou
game? im not playing any games (unless you count the ones i play with beatrice) - lucifer
sharing is caring - tlou
we’re not dating - lucifer
a police consultant, a sandwich, a neatly sliced apple, and a cup of tea - lucifer
im linking all of those but be warned the lucifer ones are SOOOOOOOO teenage mattie cringe i was like a sophomore in high school when i wrote those.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
YES!!?!?!?!?!!!
i love comments. im actually kissing all of my commenters on the virtual mouth. mwah. if I’m normal in a comment reply just know I’m actually giggling and kicking my feet.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
EASILY gotta be someone better bc it’s just a canon compliant little drabble from lucifer 3x21 (iykyk)
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
honestly all of them pretty much have happy endings??? i think happiest is gotta be meet me at our spot because that’s overall the fluffiest fic I’ve ever posted
8. Do you get hate on fics?
i dont think I’ve received anything within driving distance of hate which i am very grateful for. but i also know it’s because my fics reach very little people so it’s a little hard to get hate if haters aren’t seeing ur fics
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
i do not
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
that I’ve published?? no. have I EVER written a crossover? a million times yes. every fandom I’ve ever written for has been crossed over with each other in every permutation. favorite one has to be aos x lucifer. the craziest one is probs the harley quinn x icarly one i plotted out (it’s called iHarley and i started it for a writing even but never finished).
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
no because much like the hate thing it is a little hard to get hate when you’re unknown. there are perks to it
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
no
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
no but omg I would LOVE to
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
dude this is too hard to choose from. either kastle or deckerstar
15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
will i be shot if i say the time loop 🫣
16. What are your writing strengths?
i think it’s dialogue? i mean what does the audience say?
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
ummmm. does finishing things count 💀
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I haven’t ever really tackled it before because I only speak english with a minimal command over spanish but i have included a couple words of spanish here or there in tlou fic! it is just very Daunting
19. First fandom you wrote for?
pretty little liars!!! i ran an instagram account with like 1000 followers where I posted fics in the comments at the ripe age of nine 💙
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
THIS IS SO HARD ITS LIKE ASKING ME TO CHOOSE A FAVORITE KID—

was thinking about your post about what you dislike in writing, and thought about how a lot of people dislike AUs when it’s actually my favorite. the only exception being Kastle: i only read canon compliant fics
what about you?
Ahhhh a good question, and man this is such a mood thing and a per-ship thing.
I am typically, TYPICALLY a canon-divergence kind of girl, because i like seeing good writers take the stories where they should have gone instead of where they ended up. Actually that's too pat of a reason - I think deeper than that, I love seeing the nuances I see on screen or on the page fleshed out, given depth. There are so many little moments in fics that expand on the promise of one smile, one look. Take Kastle - the diner scene in DD. The elevator scene. GOD.
Breaking down the fandoms I've read/enjoyed over the years, behind a readme because APPARENTLY I'M VERBOSE WHO KNEW
HP - canon divergence. in a fantasy series, i really didn't want another universe. i wanted the one that it was written in. that being said, the stories i often enjoyed weren't about the war, but moments within time at the school. so maybe that's AU? using the elements and setting and general plot? idk tbh
Kastle - canon divergence. I will read a good fluff AU? but again i just appreciate when people can take the absolute crumbs given and reshape them. Frankly, im struggling bigtime with this as as writer right now as I went back and man...that hospital scene...it's gonna take a lot of explaining away to diverge from there. and some great writers have already done so!
Klaroline - never really been a big fan of human AU. i do like sci-fi AUs, original!caroline, witch!caroline etc. canon divergence as of pre backdoor pilot is absolutely necessary. does that make it AU?
Doctor Who - i was going to say canon divergence but the two fics that spring readily to mind were a mechanic AU and a firefly crossover so i guess AU
Spuffy - canon divergence? i think? Honestly read a lot of smut in that universe so not sure if the plot mattered as much to me tbh
Braime - the weird one. I ship them, but cant read fic, the one fic i could truly consume in this fandom was a) a complete AU, not even high fantasy and b) the writer said at the end of her fic (paraphrasing) "this is crap and you are crap for reading this" which really pissed me off btw bc i had just left a long comment about how much it moved me (pls dont do this authors) (i am still pissed off about this)
Eddissy - by virtue of canon being tiny, AU is pretty common so i do enjoy it, and the canon divergent fics are hard because they all have to tackle the same point - what happened with chrissy - and it gets a bit repetitive.
it's definitely an interesting question and now i kinda want to tag game it? if you see this consider yourself tagged with the question of: do you prefer AU or canon-compliant fics, per-fandom, and is there a difference in reading vs writing for you?

Hi! How are you feeling angel? I hope everything’s going well for you! For the questions: 19, 23
*squishes!!* VERY WELL RESTED, thank you! 😚 <3 I'm going to answer these in reverse order, as the answer for 19 got LONG okay
23. Describe the physical environment in which you write. Be as detailed as possible. Tell me what’s around you as you work. Paint me a picture.
There are many writing modes heheheh! The usual: laptop, either late in the office, while I'm waiting for an experiment to finish, and the lights are turning out around me, or in my room, multicoloured fairy lights on, curled up on the chair by my desk or at the edge of my bed.
gdocs is my go-to now, as it allows me to write on the move - there's also a lot of writing on trains. writing on my phone is sketchier, mostly outlining, unless I'm already working from an outline, and then it's a bit more fleshed out. everything is finished on my laptop, though.
what's been happening lately though, is that I will be falling asleep, and sort of daydreaming, and I'll be working through a scene, and it will be so detailed and specific that I know I will forget it by the time I wake up, so I'll grab my mobile, blearily scroll to gdocs and type it out. spelling errors and grammar up the wazoo. good dialogue though, and the key images, things that stick with me. <3
--
19. Tell me a story about your writing journey. When did you start? Why did you start? Were there bumps along the way? Where are you now and where are you going?
this got long. thank you for asking! ;u;
I love this question! >:3 the journey started small! I started writing online on a pokemon forum when that was still a thing, in little RPs and short stories. I didn't fall in love with it until I started on ff dot net, and fell in love with those stories, which pushed me away from the classic, heavier writing styles preferred in school & on that forum, to something looser and more character driven.
from there, it's just been a lot of experimentation. I've been posting stories online since 2007 (many different usernames), and so it has honestly been like a time caspule for me. there are always bumps on the way, heheh, and really, it's been about figuring out what I like to write, and how I like to write it.
these last two years have definitely been an exception, but I usually only wrote smaller oneshots, posted sporadically. in 2014, finishing up my undergrad, I wrote a lot and did my first (and only) big bang fic. wrote a bit more in 2016, with the release of daredevil (kastle my beloved), and then I started grad school, and I wrote sporadically.
but then the pandemic happened, and I got into a smaller, niche fandom that had less pressure, and I sort of... let loose. Really experimented with writing dynamics and stories I've wanted to write, and realised I could. Wrote many, many different characters and voices, experimented with writing smut in a way that I actually connected with it, and had a lot of fun. >:3
now i'm here, and for the most part, I really, really like what I'm writing. <3 always experimenting, pushing the boundaries.
maybe.... maybe I'd try writing something longer in the future, but I really, really don't have the space for it right now. writing up my phd thesis, and working a full time position... yeah.
I have a germ for a romance novel idea (I am Passionate about writing smut well, okay), but that's got a pin in it until... until I finally am not juggling a million things at once, oh my god. <3

Hi hi hiiiii! I'm your gifter for the Kastle Exchange ;) Just wondering if you have any preferences when it comes to smut? And would you like the prompts combined, or are they two separate options?
the prompts are separate, i just wanted to give you options! you can combine if it speaks to you.
and you can have smut or not! whatever you fancy/whatever your comfort level is <3
