#Karedevil fanfic

[youhavetosmile]

You can do one where Foggy's family adopts Matt and Matt asks his family for advice because Karen steals his heart and Matt's family is very hilarious because it's a comedy

Here's a little something for ya :) Hope you enjoy teenage Matt, Foggy, and Theo!

"Hey guys? Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure. Shoot."

"How--how do get a girl to like you?"

Theo, sitting on the foot of Foggy's bed, leaned back against the wall with a chuckle. "Why do you need to know?"

"I just do," Matt replied, his face turning red.

"Nah, you're not gonna get off that easy," Foggy teased. "What's her name?"

"Why does that matter?"

"Ah, so there is a girl."

"Ooh, Matty's got a girlfriend!" Theo sang. Soon, Foggy had joined in the ditty.

"Shut up!" Matt yelled, throwing his pillow off his bed at them. "I"m being serious!"

Suddenly, their mother came through the door. "What is going on in here?"

"Matty's got a girlfriend! Matty's got a girlfriend!"

Anna looked from one side of the room, where Foggy and Theo were still singing jubilantly, to the other side, where Matt had hidden his face in his knees. "Oh, stop, you two!" The two boys stopped singing, but were still snickering behind their hands. "I said stop! Or would you like me to tell Matt about your first crushes?" That shut them both up. "That's what I thought."

Anna sat down on the end of Matt's bed. "Come downstairs with me, Matty. We can talk down there." Silently, Matt stood up, put on his glasses, unfolded his cane, and stood up. With a stern suggestion that the other two boys to brush their teeth and get to bed, she led Matt downstairs.

Anna sat Matt down at the kitchen table. "First, might I suggest not asking fifteen-year-old boys for dating advice?"

"Noted," said Matt with a sheepish half-smile.

"Now," she said, sitting down next to him and laying a hand on his arm, "tell me about this girl."

Matt's smile grew. "Her name is Karen. Karen Page. We're friends, but--"

"But you want to be more."

"Yeah. But I don't know how. I like being friends with her. She's really nice to everyone, except if you're mean to someone else. Then you'd better watch out. I like being around her, and I don't want to ruin our friendship by coming on too strong or whatever. But--I really like her, Mom."

"She sounds great."

"She is. She really is. And that's why it's so important that I don't screw this up."

"What makes you think you'll screw it up?"

"'Cause I'm--not good at this. Usually, I can talk to girls just fine, but Karen's different. I don't know what to do!"

"Oh, honey," said Anna, "just be you. She obviously likes you already, or you wouldn't be friends."

"But what if she doesn't like me like that?"

"What's not to like?"

"Mom, I can't see."

"And Karen already knows that. And she knows that you do just fine, anyway." Matt was silent. "Honey, just be you. You're smart, and kind, and loving, and you stand up for what you believe in."

"So, what, I should just--tell her?"

"As your aunt once told your father before he asked me out: 'Grow a pair.'" Matt laughed, and Anna ruffled his hair. "In all seriousness, Matt, just be honest with her. And if your brothers say anything else to you, you tell me. I've got tons of ammunition."

"Thanks, Mom."

"Karen is lucky to have you."

"No," said Matt, shaking his head. "I'm the lucky one."

Hi again!

It's been a while since I've posted (I won't even count the years, and it pains me to say years, but that's where we are). I miss everyone on here and I'm sorry it's come to this, truly. Life has been a roller coaster, as I'm sure it's been for many of you.

That being said, I wanted to let you know that my fanfic has always been in the back of my brain and close to my heart and I've had plans to post more when I had the time. I still intend to do this, but it is fighting with my urge to write, get this: my first romcom! I've been reading like crazy, writing like mad, and loving the work I've been doing (now full time) and I hope you will too.

Currently I have two projects I'm writing: one with my best friend and one on my own. When they're in the final stages and published (probably on KU), I'll post links. My hope is that those who love my writing, those that have been firm supporters and helped me find my passion will want to see what I've been pouring my blood, sweat, and tears into. No pressure ❤️

Either way, I love you guys, I miss my friends on here and I hope to reconnect (even though I suck at messaging), and I will always be thinking about the place I got my start. I'd be nowhere without it.

This same message is going on @murdocklovespage since that's also my blog.

Also, I'm posting two new chapters of It's Just a Spark. I had it pretty well done before I disappeared, and I'm only editing it slightly so I can just post. I like to think my style and writing have improved since writing this, but I can only nitpick so much, so I'm not going to. At the moment it will be the only thing I'm adding, but I have plans to continue the works I started, I promise.

Love,

@littledidtheyknow / @murdocklovespage

Happy Valentines Day delayed!!!!

But I don't want to miss the opportunity to say Mattkaren/Karedevil will always be the untouchable and unbreakable couple where their eternal love will never leave.

Kisses and hugs.🥑🥑🥑

[hopewearsglasses]

My face when I realize that in less than five months every DD fic I've ever written or read that was "post-season 3" and could have been said to conform to canon will almost certainly be straight up canon-divergent.

Comfort Karedevil to sooth that worry away.

@karedeviltrash I am suddenly not okay!

The Daughter of The (Dare)Devil || Hiatus Recap

Please read my apology here if you haven't. It explain why I've been gone so long. And since it has been several months, I've decided to write a little recap. Feel free to read it before you move on to the new story, or not.

|| SEASON 1 ||

Set pre-canon by a several months, is story 1: 'Welcome Home The Blood and Bruises'. This story shows how Matt ends up screwing his "foolproof" plan of never-ever telling his daughter that he's a vigilante. The beginning scene shows Matt a little banged up while his daughter, Kaila (age 14), takes care of him. This causes a flashback to a year earlier where his plan falls apart. Matt arrives home in a bad state, causing him to faint and for his daughter to find her, thus revealing his secret. Eventually, realizing that's there's no way to stop this man, Kaila just accepts it and agrees to help patch him up.

Story 2: 'I'd Burn The World For You'. For some reason this is still one of my favorites that I've written despite the angst that I throw here and there. In this one, the story's set after DD Episode one, where Matt and his best friend, Foggy had just hired an assistant that so happen to be their first client, Karen. Now, remember, Kai's a bit skeptic in the beginning and Foggy's just hungry (lol). Meanwhile, being the curious person she was, Karen starts asking Matt about his past, like 'We're you married?' or 'Did you have a girlfriend?'. Which Matt encourages, and replies with the story of how his daughter came into his custody. Flashback to fourteen years ago, the best friends have graduated college and have passed their Bar exam. Matt's in his new apartment and telling Foggy about how his fling, Aka: Kai's Mother, who's name is Mary (Remember that people), is trying to contact him via phone call but he's ignoring. Foggy eventually slips out to get them lunch, and before you know it, Mary drops baby Kai off in front of the door. Matt manages to call and get Foggy to come back, dumbfounding his best friend which soon insist 'It's just a prank, bro'. Nerves are shooting through the roof as they get to the hospital to get a DNA test to find out of Matt's really this baby's father. Well... surprise, surprise, he is. Foggy, being the best damn friend is his, is discussing some options with the nurses since Matt's in his own head, and is soon pulled out of it when one of the nurses hands over baby Kai to him. Matt immediately becomes a girl dad, falling in love and swearing to the beyond that he'll love and protect this child for as long as he lives. Foggy's secretly happy when he hears Matt wants to keep her, and the flashback ends when him giving her the name: Kaila Jackie Murdock (Got to give his old man some love, am I right?). The story finishes with Karen almost in tears, but Matt reassures her that everything's okay. Especially now that he has the family he secretly always wanted.

Story 3: 'Crossing The Line'. Another personal fav of mine. So this is set in episode seven "Stick". A man named Wilson Fisk has entered the ring, and Matt has earned the nickname 'The Devil of Hell's Kitchen' - Foggy insist that this vigilante is up to no good, while Karen is the opposite - The story splits between Matt and his Mentor, Karen getting herself into trouble, and some Uncle/Niece bonding time.

1. Foggy owes Kaila another showing for the Hunger Games as they both ditch their plans to go find Karen. - They end of finding her, and she takes them to the person she was meeting up with. - Karen reveals that she's been working with Ben Urich to uncover the Union Allied Scandal. 2. Matt soon finds himself meeting Stick again, his asshole mentor who up and left him 20+ years ago. - They end up back in his apartment, where Stick is slowly figuring out that Matt's got someone living with him before asking for his help. The Blind lawyer agrees, which he regrets later on. - A Time skip later, Stick figures out about Kai and insults Matt which causes a massive fight. Matt ends up winning and threatens Stick to never come near his daughter, which ends in laughter and Matt being frustrated that his tainted past is starting to touch his kid.

Story 4: 'I've Got The Devil Inside Me'. Let's add more angst to the plate. The next morning Matt discovers that his partners are investigating Union Allied, much to his dismay, but he agree to help as long as they're "cautious" (Yeah, some big talk from a blind man who fights crime at night). This eventually leads to Matt and his daughter talking after she arrives to the apartment being destroyed, and encourages him to talk to her if something's up. The next day at school, Kaila witnesses Fisk's big speech on TV on how he's declared war on 'The Masked Man'. - This leads to Ben, and the gang trying to figure out what they can dig up to bring Fisk down (And it's certainly not a pretty road) - This also leads to the reveal that Fisk is doing business with a slumlord that's raising a client of theirs rent (Aka: Ms. Cardenas). Out of options, Matt decides to try to get inside the head of the woman Fisk loves the most, Vanessa. Kaila tags along as they try feeling her out at the art gallery she works out. However, Luck's not on their side when the Man of the hour himself arrives, planting himself inside the Murdocks' heads. When Kaila arrives home the next day from school, she finds her father staring at his suit, then engulfs her into a much needed hug. She encourages him to open up again, and he reveals that Ms. Cardenas was killed, and he was filling up with rage to the point he wants to kill the Kingpin. Eventually, she pulls him from those thoughts, and they parted ways as he heads out for the night. This story ends with Matt coming home in the worst state she's possibly seen him in, and just before she can figure out what to do, her Uncle arrives and discovers the family's dirty secret.

Story 5: 'The One Where The Uncle Finds Out'. One of my favorite, but most painful episode to watch. It opens up with Foggy's POV as he stumbles in all buzzed, and demanding they make Fisk pay for what he's done to their client. He gets more than what he bargain for, and it's a race through time for him and his Niece to get Matt stable. They eventually contact Claire who cleans him up. As soon as Matt's up, Foggy can't hold back and demands for answers. The argument starts, and in between that, Foggy makes a decision to lie to Karen that Matt's sick and he can handle it alone. Foggy also learns during their heated moment that his best friend can hear heartbeats, which shatters all the trust he has, and even questions if their friendship was even real. Eventually, while Kai tries to do her homework in the living room, they exploded at each other again. Foggy finally has the guts to ask Matt why he started all this, and his hesitant to spill while his daughter's in the room. Foggy pushes back, saying she has more rights than him to know what's going on, so... she stays as he spills the truth (Which it's more detailed than he initially told Kai). Foggy stares in disbelief when Matt reveals he doesn't want to stop crime fighting, no matter how hard it gets. Foggy tries to pull the "friendship card", which has no affect since this city "needs" the mask vigilante. This results in Foggy telling him to do whatever he wants, and if he gets killed in the process, he'll take Kaila under his wing -- but to remember that he's not her father, and that he'll feel guilty pretending to be. Foggy storms out of the apartment while saying "He would have told Matt he had a crime fighting life". The next few days were interesting - Karen came to visit him after his "car accident" - Claire ended any romance between them - Father Lantom told him that Devil inside him was an angel once, and applies towards him - It was all enough for him to realize he needs to stay alive for the ones he love. He wasn't expecting when he got home for his daughter to still be pissed at him, and leave to spend the night at Karen's for some space. The story ends with the young girl getting taken by Wesley.

Story 6: 'No Good Deed...' Goes unpunished they say. This story shows how much Kaila is like her Dad in a lot of ways. It opens up with Matt calling Karen, wondering if she made to her place since she hadn't texted him. Wesley is revealed to the one to kidnap her, and that she wasn't the originally target, but he was going to make do. He reveals that he's bitter that Karen is like a dog with a bone, and won't let what happen at Union Allied stop her from uncovering the truth. Amused, Kaila taunts, which is cut off quickly when he lays his gun onto the table. He rants on about Karen finding Fisk's mother, which is evidence she can use to bring him down on trial. Kaila then asks why he just doesn't kill her already, which he reveals would be troublesome if he did since she's a daughter of a well respect lawyer, and has ties to a police officer not under Fisk's thumb (Brett). He instead tells her she's offering her a job, a job where she'll convince everyone she knows that Fisk is not the "bad guy". Kaila bites back saying she would never, which Wesley threatens her that he'll kill her family before finishing her. But... something snaps inside her, and as Wesley went to answer his phone, she grabs a hold of the gun, aiming it at him. His poker face is incredible, and tries to play it off that it's unloaded, but she threatens him to stay away and let her leave. She doesn't get far before he tackles her, and proceeds to strangle her. They wrestle around, and fight for the gun which eventually goes off. To her horror she realizes she shot him point blank in the heart. His phone starts ringing again, and Kaila's on the verge of a nervous breakdown as she grabs her belongings and runs away. Kaila shocks Karen when she arrives at her apartment, and spews out what Wesley knew and wanted before revealing that she had killed him by accident. Karen, who seems way too calm for this, tells her she'll take care of it - she disposes the gun in the Hudson and calls Matt that everything's "okay". Karen patches the young girl up, and reveals her trouble past to the girl. They promise each other to keep this a secret from anyone, and Karen promises Kai that she'll be by her side whenever she needs it. The story ends with a guilt filled Kaila meeting a strange boy at a coffee shop, and Foggy rushing in that they found a way to stop Fisk once and for all.

Short Story 1: 'The New Suit'. Season One wraps up with Ben's Funeral, and the troublesome trio allowing Kaila to dip her toes into the dangerous waters that'll bring down Fisk. Eventually, the masked man gets a confession from Detective Hoffman that manages to get the Kingpin behind bars... or so they thought. Their celebration was cut short when Fisk escapes custody, and Matt rushes out to stop him. The story finishes with the lawyer coming home with a victory under his belt... and a new suit (One that Kaila approves). Matt promises he'll be a better father, and Kaila promises she'll open up more. *Foreshadowing Indeed On Both Counts*

|| SEASON 2 ||

I swear with each season there's always more and more angst.

Story 7: 'The Point of No Return (Murdock v Murdock)', Part one of the mini series. - Opens up with months passing after the Lawyers' victory of putting Fisk away. Kai has a job now, a new friend name Jayden, but is unfortunately showing signs of PTSD from the whole killing Wesley situation. Meanwhile, Nelson & Murdock is booming! But the euphoria they all feel ends soon when they're stuck with a strange client, Grotto, who soon gets attacked by the soon be dubbed 'Punisher'. Flash the next morning, Foggy's on his way to the hospital to meet Karen and Grotto, only to run into his niece who's looking for her dad. They soon put two-and-two together, and race across the rooftops to find Matt. They eventually find him disoriented from the gun shot he took to the head. - Later, he wakes up to Foggy scolding him and warning him not to orphan his kid before heading off. Short time after that, Matt goes temporarily deaf, scaring Kai but not really fazing him since he's still in "shape" to be DD tonight. Karen comes by telling them about Grotto and him being "bait" to lure out a big mob boss for the DA. Kaila and her eventually talk, the teenager's guilt about Wesley coming through while her father slips out to fix his suit. - Faking an emergency, Kai gets Matt to come home and this leads to an argument. Heated words are exchanged, and Matt ends up telling her that he wouldn't have to worry about his injures 'if she wasn't here'. Instant regret happens, but nothing more can be said except Kai's FU that ends the story.

Story 8: 'The Darkest Time With Our Thoughts (Murdock v The World)'; Part two of the mini series. Starts off with the house divided, Kai's angry and Matt's depressed (As they both should be). Nelson & Murdock (& Page) are about to head off with DA to watch their client be bait to a mob boss, but due to Matt's mind being elsewhere, Foggy urges him to go home and try to make it up with his kid (Spoiler: He puts the damn costume on instead). - Meanwhile. Kai wants to be left alone, yet life throws her a curveball when a clearly unwell man shows up at her door, asking for her father and Foggy. She soon finds herself fighting for her life, almost getting the upper hand before being taken away (Foggy ends up getting that dreadful call from Brett). Matt suddenly wakes up chained to the rooftop, face-to-face with the Punisher. Matt tries playing detective while Frank basically tells him to STFU. There's a brief heated exchange between them, then Frank gets ready to finish his mission, and was even nice enough to let Matt listen to the voicemails he has before he decides to finish him off. Matt tries to drown them out by moving the chains around to hid his secret ID, but that all changes when the last frantic message from Foggy reveals that someone took his daughter and he needs to get to the police station. The Murdock begs Frank to let him go, and he does. - The story ends with Matt falling apart.

Story 9: 'I'm Trembling, But I'll Protect You (Love v Death)'; Last part of the mini series. The story opens with Kaila having a very interesting dream (I highly suggest you guys at least read that part again, there's a lot of foreshadowing for future stories). She wakes up and is met with her capturer who tells her that he's the brother of Nelson & Murdock's first client, who they apparently failed (Remember this later, also). Meanwhile, the trio is racing through all the paperwork they have to find out who this client is. They three of them have a nice heartfelt talk that ends up striking an idea in Matt. Matt ends up figuring out their first 'official' client was 'John Healy', the man hired by Fisk to kill. Before anything could be done, Matt gets a call from Frank telling him to meet up; He does, surprised to find out that Frank knows where Kai is. This also leads to an early ID reveal with Karen. Matt has a standoff with the kidnapper, negotiating back and forth to by Frank some time to take the shot. Kai is rescued, and the Murdocks shared heartfelt speeches and hugs while Frank disappears into the mist. - Kai's taken to the hospital by Brett (Who unknowingly knows DD's ID) and treated for her leg injury. The story ends with Kai accepting why her father does this job and is happy to be home.

Story 10: 'A Glimmer Amongst The Sinners'. The story opens up with a flashback to 15 years ago, where a young Matt is trying to figure out how to be a father to a baby he can't see (while also trying to find her mother, Mary, for answers). He feels like he's falling off the deep end, but lucky Foggy is there by his side, helping him along the way, which he's forever grateful for. Flash forward to Matt listening to his daughter sleep, happy that she's home. Now, at lot of things happen - Kaila eggs her dad to ask Karen out; Karen digs around about Frank's Past; Frank gets abducted and Matt must find him; Foggy, Kai & Karen head to the Castle house for clues; Then Frank & Matt escape and have a heartfelt moment, leading up to Frank being arrested by Brett who gets a promotion by bringing him in. Oh... the story should end right here, right? Nope! More plot lines! We finally get a Karedevil kiss, which makes Matt get on cloud 9 until his old flame shows up in his apartment. Elektra tries to get Matt to be her lawyer to get her father's money back, which he strongly declines. She then tries pushing back before accidently meeting Kaila. Elektra acts all hurt and broken up when Matt throws her out. The next day goes smoothly in the office, Matt & Karen go on a date, while Foggy tries helping his niece with her friend Jayden who seems to be avoiding her since the kidnapping. Matt has a brief interaction with Elektra again on the phone during his date, he tells her to F off, and him and Karen head back to her place for some romance. The story finishes with Kai coming home to find Jayden ready to talk.

And that wraps this up! I'm finishing the next story as we speak. I'm aiming to release it either by the end of next week or the following. So sorry again this took so long, and thanks for sticking around! ❤️

I don't want to give too much away, but this chapter delves a bit into Matt's relationship with Jen. I love Jen as a character, and this chapter isn't meant to imply anything negative about her, but I have found myself wondering if Matt and Karen might still get back together in spite of everything that happened in She-Hulk. I know a lot of people (myself included) had a lot of fun with the show, though, so I just wanted to give fair warning! (I also have A LOT of notes at the end because I have a lot of thoughts about them lol.)

~/~

Karen likes Jen. Before the Blip, Matt dating a Hulk probably would have been one of the weirder things that had happened in her life. But now it doesn’t even crack the top ten. She supposes that dying, but not really dying, along with your two best friends will do that.

But, yes, on the couple of occasions when Jen has made it out to visit Matt, Karen has found that she likes her. She’s smart, she’s funny. Most importantly, she makes Matt smile, really smile. It’s a small list of people who can make Matt smile, especially these days, with Fisk back on the scene and an inevitable battle on the horizon. Foggy, of course. Herself, from time to time. On rare occasions, his mom. Surprisingly, Jessica Jones. And now, Jen.

Karen is a big fan of anyone who makes Matt happy, so she’s a big fan of Jen. But she’s also a big enough person to admit, if only to herself, that on her worst days, she does feel a little prickle of jealousy. It’s hard for her not to wonder what they could have been if she had known all of him right from the get-go. She really thought she’d moved on, but seeing Matt happy with someone else leaves her with a lot of what-ifs. But Matt’s happy, and Jen’s great, so she lets it go.

“How’s Jen doing?" she asks him one day, when it’s just him and her in the office. They’re standing next to each other in the office’s little kitchen; she’s waiting on coffee, he’s waiting on tea. It’s just them, so he’s moving around the room freely, and his glasses are off his face.

“Oh, we broke up.”

“No! You guys seemed so solid. What happened?”

“She said it was because of my daddy issues.”

Karen smacks his chest with the back of her hand. She doesn’t know Jen super well, but she knows her well enough to know she wouldn’t be careless like that with Matt.

“She did not say that to you.”

Matt grins, but it’s a forced thing that doesn’t quite reach his eyes.

“No, but it’s what it comes down to.”

He seems like he’s sitting at the edge of saying more, so she reaches out and places a hand on his shoulder.

“Ah, you remember the devil thing?”

She nods. There was one night, pre-Blip, when after too many drinks at Josie’s, Matt had opened up to her and Foggy a bit more than usual and had told them about the “devil inside.” Foggy had immediately launched into a drunken rant, mostly directed at Matt’s dead grandma, wondering how she could say something like that to not only her son, but her grandson.

Karen had agreed with everything he’d been saying, but in her own inebriated state, she’d been unable to say anything at all herself. She would never have phrased it like Matt, but she had recognized what he was talking about. She’s intimately familiar with the tangled-up knot of fear and despair and rage that formed somewhere right behind her heart right around the time her mom died. And while she knows she can tap into it to do good, she also knows that it’s made her do and say horrible things. Things that she regrets, things that she’d do anything to take back.

But there are also some things that she doesn’t wish she could take back. At least seven.

“Yeah,” she says, her voice quiet and small. “Yeah, I remember.”

“I just…I feel like now, with everything going on with Fisk, it’s been a little bit harder to keep in check. I’ve…” Matt takes a deep breath. “I’ve hurt people, lately. More than I should have. And I want to feel bad about it. But I don’t. I…I enjoy it. Sometimes. And I don’t…I don’t think that she got it. I could tell it bothered her.”

“You’re telling me She-Hulk didn’t understand you getting angry?”

Another fake grin appears on his face, and she wishes he’d just frown. Somehow, seeing this poor imitation of an actual smile makes her feel even worse for him.  

“She gets angry, sure. But I…it’s really hard to explain, and I don’t want to say anything that would betray her trust.”

“Of course,” she says quickly.

“I just think…I think it’s different. She gets angry, but it doesn’t seem to haunt her so much, I guess. And she can control it. The whole reason she can do what she does is because she’s in control. And I don’t always care. If I lose control.”

“And so she called it off?”

“It was more of a mutual thing, I guess. It was already hard because of the distance, but we just started drifting apart and…”

He doesn’t finish the thought, and Karen doesn’t press, as much as she wants to. She didn’t mean to make him have such a heavy conversation in the middle of the day on a Tuesday. But she’s always had a knack for stumbling into dangerous territory, even when she’s not looking for it.

“I’m sorry,” she says instead.

The electric kettle beeps then, and Matt’s expression shifts, and it’s almost like she can see a mask sliding over his features.

“It’s okay,” he says. “I’m grateful for the time we had. Probably one of the healthiest relationships I’ve had, including the ending.”

She winces a bit at that, and she can see the mask crack as he realizes what he's said. He opens his mouth to say something, but she spares him.

“Well, I hope you’re gentle when you break it to Foggy. He thought her picking you up and carrying you around like a baby was the most hilarious thing he’d ever seen, and I don’t know if he’ll recover from losing that as a form of entertainment.”

He chuckles, and she smiles. They go back to work, and things are more or less normal for the rest of the day.

He’s still hard at work when she decides to leave for the night. But Karen has one more thing she wants to say to him. One more thing she needs to say to him.

“Hey Matt?”

“Yeah?” he asks, pulling his earbuds out and turning to face her.

“Y’know, I get it.”

“Get what?”

“The devil thing. I’m not as Catholic as you, but I get it.”

“Karen, I don’t…”

“Seven times, Matt.” They’d talked more in-depth about what happened, in the weeks after Fisk went away. He’d wanted to make sure he knew the details, in case she ever ended up needing defending, so he knows. But it looks like he needs the reminder.

“I shot him seven times. And I do feel bad about it, but it’s not because I regret it. It’s because I don’t.”

~/~

I really do love Jen, and I could see her and Matt working long-term. But we didn't really get to see them have difficult emotional conversations in She-Hulk (for obvious reasons), so I'd be interested to see if they stick together once things inevitably get angsty in Matt's show.

The thing that got me thinking about this was Jen's line about "daddy issues" when she was talking to K.E.V.I.N. I love Matt Murdock, but he definitely has daddy issues. This just reminded me that, as much as they have in common, they still have so much they would need to learn about and work through to be a real couple.

Also, Jen's rage in the show felt very different to me than Matt's. It's entirely possible that that was just due to the tones of their respective shows, but I found myself wondering how Jen would handle Matt torturing someone like he did in Season 1 or how she would handle him beating Fisk up like he did in the Season 3 finale. She might be okay with things like that, I'm just not sure. I'm also not familiar with the comics at all, really, so it's also possible that there is a darker side to her.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter (and the quicker update). One more to go, which should be up soon!

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

I was also tagged by @royaidaydreams to do this, so thanks so, so much, to both of you 🥺❤️🥰

I've been trying to make a fic rec post for other people's fics for weeks and I find it quite hard to chose, so doing it for my own stuff 😅 is going to be quite hard too 😅

Let's try though - I didn't put original stuff on there, just fanfics. I have some of my original stuff on AO3 in English, though !

1. In the old Alexandria (Ripper Street)

Mimi comes back to London, a couple of years after the turn of the century.

This is the first fic I ever posted on AO3 (the older ones were posted after but dated to when they were written - and posted elsewhere). The Ripper Street finale had wrecked me, and I needed to give some softness to the survivors. Hence, this is only for people who have seen the whole 5 seasons (but please watch them. Please please).

2. Keep Afloat (Ripper Street)

Little flashbacks, mostly around Edmund, from before S1. Filling in the blanks with more misery ! Yay !!

It's not mentionned that I am forced to share only finished stories, right? 😅 But this is a collection of flashbacks, so more or less, each chapter can be read independently. And there's no end, since the end is the start of the show, so... It's one of these fics that I sometimes re read, and one of the few where I actually find what I wrote good. Special mention to the chapter between Edmund and Emily. (This is NOT. a feel good fic).

3. Snow, snow... (Daredevil (Karedevil))

Matt tries to carry on through a blizzard, but the snow and his mind wandering to old memories won't let him.

I wanted to put a DD fic in here, but I didn't know which one to chose. This one has many characters and bittersweet memories, and this is what I like.

4. Bro's Night Out (FMA)

Hughes is sent to East City for work, but decided to arrive early (or... very late...) to meet his friend. Who is working. A lot. And has no time for silly things. And doesn't hold his drink.

It's hard to chose in a fandom I'm currently deeply obsessed with, so I chose those one, because I think I got the banter right, and it was fun to write.

5. My own worst friend and my own closest enemy (FMA (Royai))

One circle, one Roy Mustang on each side, one accidental transmutation, one occasion to be humbled and learn.

This one is still ongoing but @qs63 and I are having such a blast writing it that it's already in my top 5. Even if people didn't like it (which they do !!! That's even more awesome, thanks to all who read !!), I would have put it there because I just love it and love all the brainstorming we're having over it. 🥰

Bonus :

All the hope that I lost, you have found (FMA (Royai))

This is a WIP and a BIG one. That I plan on finishing this summer.

When I published Everyone learns faster on fire , I thought I would not come back to this theme (Roy stays blind after the Promised Day). Exceeeeept... That first fic wasn't very realistic. So I took this premices again and turned them around. The Army wouldn't keep a blind officer, so Roy's dismissed. And as soon as I started writing that, the rest of the fic events just fell like dominos. In the end, that fic has Royai, politics, Ishval, Team Mustang, and stuff that I will not disclose there because spoilers. All of this of course swimming in lots and lots of angst - but not only. I try to have it balance with sweet and even funny (I hope) moments. I'm having a lot of fun writing it and I can't wait to finish it !

If you'd like a fic prompt: what if it was Matt (instead of Foggy) who interceded in Karen's visit to Fisk?

Sorry it took so long!

Matt dragged Karen by the wrist into the elevator. He waited until the doors closed to speak. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"I'm so sorry, Matt. I wasn't expecting him to mention you—”

“That’s not what I’m talking about. Why did you tell him about Wesley?”

“I—” Karen let out a frustrated groan. “I didn’t know what else to do,” she said, throwing up her arms and letting them fall back to her sides. “Fisk has been three steps ahead of us this whole time. We needed a curveball, something he didn’t expect. Something to throw him off.”

“And did you think about how telling him that paints a target on your back?” Matt was trying not to shout and not doing a very good job. “Did you think about how that might get you killed?”

“Of course I did. But if that’s what has to happen for that piece of shit to go back to prison for the rest of his life, it’ll be worth it.”

“No.” Matt stood perfectly still except for a slight shake of his head. “No.”

“What do you mean, no?”

“You can’t do that, Karen.”

“I am not yours to protect, Matt! I don’t need your permission—”

“You can’t do that because I can’t live without you,” Matt blurted, and Karen was struck silent. There was no taking the words back now, so he kept talking. “I love you, okay? Since the day we met, I’ve been falling in love with you, but I was too stupid to realize it until now. I have lost my family, my friends, my job, my senses, but you? That—that would break me.”

Matt licked his lips, and the air was salty with Karen’s tears. “I’ve killed people, Matt,” she said shakily, “I’ve done—awful things.”

“I don’t care,” he softened his voice as he took as step toward her. “You are the best thing in my life. I don’t know if it’s too late for us, but for my own sake, I have to keep you safe.”

“I—we—we can’t talk about this right now. I have way more to say to you than I can fit in an elevator ride.”

“Fair enough. But after this is all over—can we—can we just talk?”

“Fine,” Karen answered, wiping the tears from her eyes. They both turned to face the elevator door as the chime announced their arrival on the ground floor.

Just before the doors opened and she stepped out, Karen whispered, “I love you, too.”

Oh my goodness I love this!!!!

One Thing Matt Murdock Can’t Do

This is my Secret Santa gift for @karenzpage! Hope you’ll like it hon ♥ I took the following prompt: “Ice skating date and it’s great! (alternatively: It’s a failure)”

[AO3]

“So… Did you ask her out yet?”

Foggy Nelson’s voice brought Matt Murdock out of his reverie.

“What?” he blurted out.

His friend sighed and cocked his head to the side, his arms crossed over his chest.

“Come on, buddy,“ he pleaded, "you perfectly understood what I just said.”

Matt rubbed the back of his neck and then tucked at his tie. Of course he knew what this was about. He just wished he didn’t. Anxiety had a name and it was Karen Page.

“So, did you?” Foggy insisted.

“I did not,” Matt stated.

His friend’s jaw dropped. “Matt!” he whined.

“I know, I know,” Matt said before getting up and pacing all around the office. “But… what if she says no?”

“She won’t,” Foggy chuckled.

Matt stopped in his tracks and placed his hands on his hips, worry marring his face. “What if she says yes?” he asked.

“Seriously?” Foggy rubbed his face with both hands, trying really hard not to snap at him. “I can’t believe you’re Daredevil,” he sighed. “You beat the shit out of people, you confronted Wilson Fisk, the Punisher, crazy ninjas, a nut who threw all kinds of sharp objects at you… But you’re afraid of asking Karen out?”

“It’s not the same.”

Foggy could not believe this. “Yeah, it’s called life,” he deadpanned. “It’s a normal thing to do. And you don’t do normal. You’re such a freak, Murdock.”

“Nice pep talk, Foggy.”

Has anyone done a Karedevil fic where Karen interrogated Matt on the spot when she found Stick and Elektra in his apartment?

I don’t remember at the top of my mind but maybe the @karedevilsquad knows.

I know Deborah Ann Woll's birthday (February 7th) is over, but in my defense I was busy with family matters.

Trying my hand at this writing thing, so please enjoy this completely crack-y fic!

(also a huge thanks to @irelandhoneybee for being my beta)

[littledidtheyknow]

Oh I had no idea you’d take my request seriously! I just love your writing more than some of the other writers even though they’re all pretty great too! To answer your questions, or could be a scene where she takes it all in and asks him about it and he tells her before things get nsfw or it could be short and sexy! It doesn’t have to be a one shot whatever works for you actually

Long time no see Anon! I tried to find my answer to your original ask since it’s been so long, but Tumblr is being a punk so, I’ll just sum up what I remember. You asked if I could write a scene where Karen reacts to Matt’s scars and I mentioned that I had already written that scene for chapter 3 of my multific One Time, but I wasn’t done yet.

I put this chapter off way too long (what’s new) probably because I was stressed about where it goes (I won’t spoil it, but… something happens that I think would be a possibility in many situations and I’ve been wanting to show it for a long time. Special thanks to @lily-ellison @qs63 & @irelandhoneybee for reading before I posted because I was having a real hate moment for a solid few months year. I hope this is what you were looking for.

On another note, there are many better writers than me, and I would highly suggest you take a look at their stuff! In no particular order: @lily-ellison @trombonesinspace @meinhidin @qs63 @ceterisparibus116 @scienceoftheidiot @ohfortheloveofwords @atjosiesbar are just a few that come to mind (I have a terrible migraine, so if I missed you, I blame that!).

Thank you for reading and sending me kind words, anon!
