Kastle ♥️
Four Degrees of Observation
Karen meets Frank after work and they head over to the Chinese restaurant to meet with the rest of the Defenders - but it's from the POV of a stranger, an acquaintance, a former friend, and a best friend for @kastlenetwork's Kastle Week - observations Word Count: 1517 Rating: G One Shot AO3
Stranger
She wouldn’t call herself Karen’s coworker, they worked in the same building and occasionally rode the elevator at the same time, but she was pretty sure if they were in the same store, Karen wouldn’t recognize them. That was the thing about working at a large office, the big wigs all had names but the peons didn’t.....
Acquaintance
At the Chinese restaurant where most of them had first met, the group of heroes and anti-heroes gathered so they could be themselves completely. Jessica didn’t have a problem with shit like that, but the rest of these weirdos who had alter-egos and epitaphs needed a place where they didn’t need any masks.
Former Friend
Matt was talking to Colleen when they walked in. There were rare occasions when he wished to be normal; normal eyes, normal ears. If he’d been a little less aware he’d have been able to ignore the fact Karen and Frank had come in together....
Best Friend
Foggy saw Karen and Frank sitting at a table in the corner, his legs were spread out, allowing Karen to sit between them. He was leaning forward in his chair, completely focused on whatever Karen was talking about...

thursday, sept. 5 | forced proximity | the day of honesty
frank and karen being brought together in various situations where they can't just walk away, and are forced to confront their feelings.
Birds of a feather, we should stick together, I know ('til the day that I die)
I said I'd never think I wasn't better alone ('til the light leaves my eyes)
Can't change the weather, might not be forever ('til the day that I die)
But if it's forever, it's even better
I knew you in another life
You had that same look in your eyes
I love you, don't act so surprised
KastleWeek
wednesday, sept. 4 | through new eyes | the day of observations
outsider, 3rd party, perspectives of frank and karen's relationship. no matter where it stands.
And I am the headline, that's going to make front page news
I am that fashion you're all into.
We had to try something different
We had to do something new
We had to make some heads turn
We had to put this to you
I am the rumour on everyone's lips
I am the curse on your girlfriends hips.
We are the different so we'll make a start
Tell all your friends, oh sound the alarm.
the space we'll fill with time
For Come What May May 29th: Say the Quiet Parts Out Loud A conversation you don't think they'll ever have but wish they would. | What are some offscreen moments you wish you could see? I won't be around much tomorrow, so posting early.
“What was she like?” Karen’s question is soft as it breaks the comfortable quiet. Frank winces before realizing the reaction is just instinct - he's unbothered by the question. Not when it comes from her.
He turns the wince into a smile that stretches across his face as he remembers. “She was a ballbuster, that’s for sure. Didn’t take any shit from me. Made me understand what a real man needed to be, y’know?” He glances up at Karen where she sits, patient and interested.
“The married guys in my unit would bitch and moan about taking care of their kids when they were on leave, or doing dishes or some shit. And y’know, sometimes that stuff settles into you, right? So I came home once, before Kandahar, and I started complaining about having to do laundry or something, and she let me have it.” Frank shakes his head, grin wide. “God damn my life flashed before my eyes she took me down so hard. She was just merciless,” he laughs.
Karen smiles. “Sounds like she could keep up with you.”
“Yeah. More than.” It’s quiet for a minute as they both sit with their own thoughts. Frank’s the first to break it.
A Kastle commission.
I cropped my Karen and Frank paintings and made this little collage of them, because I think I lean more towards Frank/Karen than Matt/Karen. LOL!
Both paintings are WORK IN PROGRESS! :P
Traditional art. Acrylics.
