"When did you know? That you would do these things for me?"
Frank considers this for a while. "Can't be sure exactly. After the Blacksmith, but before the river. But I knew because it began to hurt whenever I saw you. It's like Bob Dylan said, you know - 'Everything about you is bringing me misery'. That's how you know."
"Is that what I do?" Karen asks lightly. "Bring you misery?"
"Sure," says Frank. "Like the way you're looking at me now. It's all kinds of hurt inside."
The hard clench in her chest every time she catches his eye; the times he wakes up screaming at 3am. All their shared past; worse, the pasts they do not share. To love someone, she is coming to learn, is to constantly be reminded of all the ways you could lose them. "Sounds awful," she says, fingers brushing over his knuckles.
"It is what it is." He tucks a stray strand of her hair behind her ear, then kisses her on the forehead. "But that's how you know you're still alive." Really great look at Karen and how she puts her life together and how Frank (and Foggy and Matt) fits into it. (also, as an aside, I really want that Punisher/John Wick dogwalkers crossover AU now.)

yesterday, I saw a change by

Peter is unmasked on live television, and everyone goes berserk—you've already heard this one but here's the twist—he's wide-eyed, staring into the camera, frightened, but not because of his own safety. The first thing that comes out of his mouth is, "Someone please, please protect my Aunt May." And the entirety of New York cries out simultaneously. Heroes and neighbours and fellow students rain down on the Parker house, ready to defend her. this could use another editing pass, but I sobbed my face off reading it, because the people of NYC defending Peter Parker (and here, Aunt May) is one of my very favorite tropes and this delivers in spades.
