(hi do you have any angsty kastle headcanons cause i am in the Mood for Pain)

Karen has never fully forgiven Frank for the Schoonover shit, and for crashing into Ben’s car (her last tangible memory of him)

Frank knows that.

She takes a long way home because there’s a flower shop on the way between the new ‘temporary workspace’ of Nelson, Murdock & Page and just the smell of roses brings tears to her eyes. She blames it on late-onset allergies. 

Every single time Frank sits in a diner he feels like he can just turn around and Karen will be there, a blonde in his periphery, but always out of sight. 

Karen saves Frank’s burner cell numbers, while full well knowing he’ll never use the same one twice. It’s always stored under ‘home’.

Frank finds Karen after six months of silence, and he collapses on his knees in front of her, crying. Tired of playing Atlas to his problems in silence. Tired of pretending he isn’t scared. 

If they ever get married, Karen wears her ring on the chain of her mother’s necklace and has a teenie tiny tattoo of ‘FC’ on the inside of her ring finger. 

The nightmares don’t stop just because he’s happy, and Karen has a fool-proof routine for calming him back down, back to sleep. It involves holding his head in her lap, her fingers running through his hair (she loves it longer on top, short on the sides), humming a nameless tune, and gentle shushing. 

Karen tells Frank about Fisk. About Wesley. About Kevin and Ben and all of it and he tells her that she doesn’t owe the world an apology for how she had to survive within it. That people fuck up. That he’s going to put a bullet between Fisk’s eyes the next morning.

Inspired by this post:

Not on my watch.

To add on, I’m w u on the kiss. Like Karen wouldn’t be expecting him to finally kiss her. And he would in a moment he just couldn’t he

Imagine an alternate scenario, where Karen doesn't stop watching action movies with Frank because he picks them apart, but because they give him ideas. After every flick he goes out and tries to make an even more unrealistic and ridiculous stunt work, like he wasn't ridiculous enough on his own.

Imagine...Karen helping Frank out. Meeting David and Sarah, all four of them drinking wine and eating sandwiches, and David thinking "oh, I get it now."

Karen and Sarah falling into this perfect comfort of ‘what’s it like to love a dead man’ and it’s strange, where people put footholds just to keep on going but it doesn’t end up feeling forced. It’s almost like they’d already all known each other and it’s That Easy to form a little unit of their own. 

And Leo is thrilled whenever ‘Pete’ comes around, Zach just stares at Karen a lot,  because wow, she’s pretty, she’s tall, and she makes fun of my dad wearing socks and sandals (which David absolutely does). 

Somehow they become a family without realizing it and it’s easy. It’s happy. It’s just what they needed.

Your posts are always great and I’d love to hear some of your headcanons about Kastle. And fuck the people who don’t understand when shit has nothing to do with them. Hope you have a good day xx

Thank you so much sunshine, I hope you’re having a lovely day/night as well! Here are some random headcanons that popped into mind

Karen’s a blanket hog and she snores; the only reason she KNOWS she snores is that Ellison’s woken her up at her desk and asked her to ‘keep it down’. Frank doesn’t mind - he’s slept through mortar fire.

Frank always wakes up first. Always. Karen’s convinced it’s a conspiracy, but she keeps falling asleep before she can prove it.

They go to a firing range every Saturday, Frank says the closest he feels to god is with a Baretta in his hand. Karen’s not about to fight it, plus she enjoys showing off that she is, in fact, one hell of a shot.

Karen can’t cook unless it’s explicitly spelled out for her in a recipe, so she and Frank take it upon themselves to try and learn new things / try new food. He’s used to MRE’s so anything’s better than beans in a can.

Frank’s constantly reaching out/touching Karen. It’s not explicitly sexual or romantic, mostly she thinks it’s to keep him grounded. Remind him that she’s safe. She’s here. That this isn’t a dream he’ll wake-up from in a cold sweat.

What do you think Frank and Karens first date would be like? And who asked who out?

ask me Kastle headcanons/ideas/scenarios

personally, I think that they’ll have one of those moments, hanging out, eating some Thai and just a ways into their evening they both pause, realize they’re on a DATE, and proceed to fuck things up for themselves by being awkward and making excuses as to ‘i didn’t mean for this to be a thing’ and then they’ll be like Fucking Teenagers in how absolutely useless they are at courting their CLEAR romantic feelings for one another. And then their first real date won’t be ‘asking’ so much as Karen demanding they get a re-do of the last time, and Frank just smiles and nods and then they eat pizza, watch old films, and she falls asleep on his shoulder.

Karen and Frank dealing with their pre teen daughter

ask me Kastle headcanons/ideas/scenarios

Frank ‘you’re not wearing that outta my god damned house’ Castle and Karen ‘make good choices and be a strong woman’ Page would absolutely butt heads at first with regards to how they parent her. Mostly because Frank’s been here before, re: fatherhood, so he insists that he’s got one foot in this already, even if a lot of his methodology and ‘age-old’ ideas are outdated, old-fashioned, and Karen’s a modern lady, strong and independent and Take No Crap, but she’d encourage her daughter to behave similarly (if not more responsible than she did). 

But I think they’d come to compromise in the end that they want her happy, well rounded, and capable of handling herself in a fight. She’d know how to shoot a gun from an early age, practice one form of hand-to-hand combat/martial art, and Karen would read with her, great literary works and encourage her to have an enriched mind. So she’d get the best of both parents and they’d be their best for her.

What's the kinkiest shit that Karen and Frank would get down to?

ask me Kastle headcanons/ideas/scenarios 

I don’t think their sex is like … innovative or backbreaking in the sense that they’re into anything hardcore or whathaveyou, HOWEVER, every single time they’re intimate? It’s deeply intense, slow, deliberate, passionate in a way that’s nearly intoxicating. I think at most Frank could be into that low, rushed, ragged whispery dirty talk that’s mostly just him praising Karen. And Karen probably likes to wear pretty, gauzy lingerie.

despite working at a diner in her youth, Karen cannot cook for shit. she Did Not inherit her mother’s skillset in the kitchen and relies almost exclusively on take-out/delivery to eat. Frank? Is? Horrified? By This, and moves to rectify it, especially when it comes to the holidays. Karen learning how to make sufganiot? gelt cookies?
