Mighty Ducks/Daredevil Crossover

Title: That Fulton Reed Fic That Nobody Asked For

Chapter One: Sometimes Life Really Sucks

Author Name: bestdamnavocadoes on AO3

Fandom: Daredevil/Defenders Netflix Marvel Universe, The Mighty Ducks

Characters/Pairing: MattFoggy

Rating: Mature

Word Count: 3,889 

Chapters: 1/? WIP

Warnings: None

Summary: After suffering a bad fall on the ice that left him permanently unable to play hockey, Franklin Nelson, once famous as Fulton Reed of the Mighty Ducks Olympic Team, has followed his famous hockey coach into the legal profession as a practicing attorney for Hogarth, Sharpe, and Nelson. Copying his former coach's aggressive style in the court room, he's won case after case, but unfortunately he's also picked up some of his more unfortunate habits like drinking and driving. Luckily, the District Attorney, Matthew Murdock, knows just what he wants him to do to to pay his debt to society: youth mentoring at their local hockey rink.

Author’s Note: 

AU: How different would Foggy's life have been if he had been raised by Rosalind in a universe where he never meets Matt, and where super powers only exist in the realm of comic books and television shows? AKA Give me my adult Mighty Ducks movie, you cowards!

Also: Matt isn't blind in this universe, and he didn't have a childhood accident with radioactive material. However, there may be future developments of interest to this specific topic, but I honestly don't want to give too much away in this initial chapter. Happy reading!!

Excerpt:

There's nowhere that he feels more at home than this, gliding across the smooth ice at the crack of dawn, far before anyone else has woken up for their day. It's like the last gasp of quiet left in a noisy world, and District Attorney Matthew Murdock definitely needs all of the extra serenity that he can get in his life. Between the long hours involved in his professional career, and the charity work that he does in his spare time, it isn't often that he gets to be alone with his thoughts. No, for him, silence is a rare and beloved commodity in the middle of a hectic and busy life that's often over scheduled and lacking in space for self reflection.

But out of all his other obligations, he always tries to make time for this: hitting the ice rink in the morning. It's a lovely way to start off his day, helping calm and center him before everything else begins. He feels like it helps him keep his sanity intact.

“Elden Henson, who plays best friend and law partner Foggy Nelson, offers up one other attribute worth appreciating: “I don’t know if you know this, but Charlie, he has a great ass,” he says. “I’m not kidding, dude, that thing is gooood!”.”

Fandom: Daredevil/Defenders Netflix Marvel Universe

Characters/Pairing: MattFoggy, past mentions of MattElektra, and Kastle

Rating: Explicit

Word Count: 39,244 words

Chapters: 7/? WIP

Warnings: None

Chapter Summary: When Karen doesn't show up for work, Foggy investigates, and angst ensues. Also, Rosalind Sharpe finally reveals her true motivations and makes her move, firing off a chain reaction that might destroy the partnership of Nelson and Murdock forever. Foggy's POV.

Author’s Note: Holy hell y'all, sorry about the angst-fest! Next chapter is already written and will be added soon. 

“I will leave when I feel like it, Franklin. This conversation is far from over.”

“And what if I call the police and ask them to remove you?”

She gives a cold laugh, finally moving from her spot to fix her eyes quite obviously on the closet where Matt keeps his Daredevil costume. He can’t stop the flinch that comes over him suddenly, and he takes an involuntary step back. There’s no way, no way at all for her to know...

“Then perhaps I will encourage them to search this apartment thoroughly for evidence of criminal activity.”

Also, if you’re curious, here’s a link to Part 1. There are 12 chapters, and it can be read as its own standalone if you like:

How to Become the Mayor of New York City Part 1

Summary:  Matt receives a mystery package that will change the partnership of Nelson and Murdock forever.

Word Count: 57,168

Rating: Explicit

Chapters: 12/12

“If you say ‘complicated things’ one more time so help me God, I will beat the holy hell out of you. I’ll find a way, Daredevil or not. Don’t tempt me.”

Matt opens his mouth as if he’s going to say something, but he’s cut off by a godawful wailing sound that progresses rapidly from a soft mewl to an outright scream. Foggy has plenty of extended family with small children, and he’s heard that particular sound too many times to count, but he can’t place it in the context of Matt and his apartment.

“Is that…” Foggy pauses, struggling for words in the face of the sheer absurdity of what he’s about to ask. “Is that a baby?”

“That,” comes the reply, “is the complicated thing that I was referring to earlier.”

matt murdock blasphemy count

well i did it. i went through all 39 episodes of daredevil & 8 episodes of defenders & i can now say that in all of that, matthew “good catholic boy” murdock cusses 64 times & takes the lord’s name in vain 33 times. more specific details under the cut

in season 1, matt cusses 18 times & takes the lord’s name in vain only 3 times. in season 2 his language is far more liberal–he cusses 27 times & takes the lord’s name in vain 11 times. a few of these are double whammies, in which he says things like “goddamn”

if you’re really curious, here’s a breakdown of exactly what he says:

season 1: jesus, asshole, shit, hell, hell, pisses, pisses, dick, shit*, hell, shit, hell, god, fuck**, god*, shit*, damn*, bitch, shitty, hell, bitch

season 2: hell, damn, shit, shit, bullshit, goddamn, hell, hell, ass, ass*, hell, shit, ass, god, god, shit, damn, hell, shit, jesus, hell, goddamn, shit, jesus, bitch, bullshit, hell, jesus, god, shit, goddamn, jesus, bullshit, damned, jesus

* these are said in flashback scenes. the first “shit” is as a child with stick & the rest are in various college flashbacks

** this occurs at the very beginning of the second flashback in s1e10. it’s not in the subtitles but matt absolutely says “oh, fuck” here

UPDATE: the defenders season 1

in season one of defenders, matt only cusses 5 times & takes the lord’s name in vain 4 times. maybe it’s because he’s a better catholic now, but more likely it’s because he had much less screentime than in his solo show (only 8 episodes, he’s not the only main character, etc).

here’s what he says:

goddamn, goddamn, bullshit, jesus, shit, shitty, god

UPDATE 2: daredevil season 3

in the third season of daredevil, matt cusses 14 times & takes the lord’s name in vain a whopping 15 times. you can tell he was undergoing a crisis of faith in this season because the cumulative total for that second category nearly doubled. matthew.

here’s what he says:

god*, shit, pussy**, god, goddamn, bastard, goddamn, god, god, hell, bullshit, goddamn, goddamn, bullshit, ass, god, jesus, god, god, jesus, jesus, goddamn, damn, shit

* occurs in the flashback in his apartment with karen in episode 1

** lmao

Literally no one who follows me is going to know what this means, but HBomberguy, a Youtuber known for Video Essays about pop culture and gaming made a promise that he would live stream himself playing Donkey Kong 64, in its entirety (including picking up every single banana) and all money would go to a UK charity for trans youth (Mermaids) and his initial goal was $3,000 and now it’s been 26 hours into the stream and he’s already over $51k. I just need people to know about this https://m.twitch.tv/hbomberguy

who is old enough to be part of the fanfic.net era where we literally talked to our characters? like, had conversations with them?

cause I do. as a lonely child of 12 who had no friends, it was a favorite pasttime of mine to boot up the dial-up internet and type out imaginary conversations with ouran high school host club characters in the beginning notes before even starting the damn chapter (which was inevitably 500 words long and absolutely awful)
