I'm really into the interpretation of Matt being the Work Wife who always tries to keep Frank in line. His first recourse is normally violence, because he's Daredevil and Frank's the Punisher and that's what they do. But he also does his best to appeal to Frank's logic and humanity, two traits that I think a lot of heroes don't believe Frank possesses at all.
Something that I find really interesting about the Powerless AU is that Matt gets to Frank BEFORE he's killed anybody, and interacting with him actually gets Frank to realize that he doesn't have to kill people (see this gut-wrenching conversation: http://tmblr.co/Z8kWer1o7GUog). This is so heartbreaking because Frank believing in himself and having hope for the future is his version of being "powerless." (...and then, of course, everything goes to shit, but I won't spoil it for you if you haven't read it.) But the only reason he was able to realize that about himself was because Matt saw the good in him when no one else would. Matt's the only one who could ever have a chance to push Frank towards a different path, and I think that some fundamental understanding of that is what drives him to try again and again to redeem Frank.
BTW Gaaah did you have to mention motorcycles? I know nothing about them except what I know from this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0kJdrfzjAg) and now it's giving me Frank/Matt feels, how do you do that?
"Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme." ;) Although for this pairing, black hair and red leather would work pretty okay, too...
