About FiskMatt fanfic, do you have any ideas for alternate universes you'd like to write, explore, or read?

Yes!

Absolutely. Haha. Looking through my folder, I have 27 FiskMatt WIPs in various stages of: almost done, worked on a little, and plot outline with bits of dialogue here and there. Then a sub-folder that just says "Ideas." 😅 None of those have any progress on them. They're just notes made before I forgot and say, "Be cool if..."

When you say "read," I wonder if you mean fics by other people that I'd like to read? And sure, of course. Any FiskMatt sounds amazing. May our tag be flooded. 🙏 (My personal preference is to only read through a teen rating though. I'm not much of one for smut or PWPs. Never have been. I know I sound ungrateful for not reading every single fic in the ship tag, but I do skip over those most of the time.) Specifically what I'd like to read more of? Well, one of my biggest kinks is mpreg or kidfic, so getting to enjoy other people's takes on those themes would be cool. 👀

And I can give examples of a few of my WIP fics, if you're interested...

• My next fic I'd like to finish (mostly done) is an established relationship AU to S1 where Fisk does kill Matt in the warehouse in 1x09, not knowing the Man in the Mask was the man he was dating. He then uses his connections with Gao and the Hand to bring him back (a la Elektra in Defenders). Good drama. 8 chapters; first 5 finished.

• I have my whole merman AU. I wrote a bit on it in this oneshot, but it would be nice to expand with more of my ideas one day. Though I'm not sure I ever will. I mean, I'll undoubtedly add more if ideas occur to me. I just don't know if it will ever be fleshed out enough to publish.

• There's a soulmate AU. It's the kind where the world is gray until you meet your soulmate, then you see color. Chosen because, well... Matt is blind. So Fisk (who is in his late fifties and thought it'd never happen) sees Matt and knows, but Matt is completely unaware.

• I have a WIP universe where Fisk and Matt have 10 kids. 😅 It's sort of crack-treated-seriously. Just for fun. I don't think I'll ever finish it enough to publish, but I like writing ideas down sometimes when they occur to me. Maybe I'll do a oneshot someday that's sort of just "day in the life of..." Hahaha.

• There are two separate instances in the comic (at least?) where Matt loses his memory. One of them, Fisk even threatens to use it to his advantage, but that plot sort of... peters out. Anyway, I have a fic where Matt forgets who he is and Fisk chooses to take advantage. Except he's not really sure what to do with him? But the innocence and trust amnesia!Matt shows obviously starts to endear Fisk to him.

• I have an a/b/o AU where Fisk and Vanessa are in their little relationship. (Maybe existing for longer than in the show.) Then they meet omega Matt in the art gallery, and they both like him. They think he could make a great surrogate for them to start a family. Fisk/Vanessa wine and dine him, make the proposal. Matt is horrified. lol. But he agrees (to pretend to go along with it-- not to actually do it) because it sounds like a good way to get close to Fisk and gather more information. Long story short, this plan goes very, very sideways.

• In a similar vein, I have an a/b/o AU where Vanessa dies from the gala poisoning in S1. Matt, who encounters Fisk again after their amiable meeting at the art gallery, offers his condolences and uses Fisk's heartbreak as a way to fill that void and get close to him. Fisk is still too upset to take the bait. Matt pushes harder, gives him the ol omega seduction. Not only does Fisk resent him for this afterwards, but he figures out Matt is Daredevil along the way. Wants to kill him but... whoops, Matt is pregnant.

• From the Ideas folder, I have a Pacific Rim AU. lol. Cause why not? I just thought a few aspects sounded interesting. Fisk funds the creation of his own jaeger and is intent on using it himself. He just needs a co-pilot and auditions for one. Lo! he and Matt are drift compatible. There can be drama of Matt having to make peace with all the evil he sees in Fisk's head-- accept it for the greater good. Not to mention being overwhelmed by experiencing Fisk's sight and Fisk being overwhelmed by Matt's hyper senses. Mmm.

• Also from the Ideas folder, I have a Western AU. I could do a genuine 1872 AU someday (love westerns), but this one is about modern Fisk and Matt getting time traveled back. After fighting over a Norn Stone or something, idk. It's truce until they can find their way back home. That takes longer than expected, so they sort of settle in for a bit. Luckily? Fisk has experience farming and such?

• I have more WIPs, of course. Some of them aren't very "AU" so much as just a fic. A lot of them are mpreg or kidfic because I'm weak and incredibly self-indulgent. Hahaha. I do have one that's an AU to the book/movie Room. (Movie trailer here.) It's not a 1-for-1 adaptation but based on the premise. Basically, Fisk has had Matt locked up for years and "visits" him. They have a son who was born within this captivity that Matt keeps from him but Fisk insists he needs to be brought into the world already. But since Fisk can't really trust letting Matt go too, it kind of means taking the kid. I like angst. I have another kidfic where they have a son Matt kept secret from Fisk for years, but now the kid has been kidnapped and Matt has to ask for his help.

It's all very self-indulgent. (✿◡‿◡)

hey hey what about spideypool? 👀👀

Okay so I do ship it in theory like it is my most bookmarked ship, but I realized that I do ship Peter with everyone so in order to switch it up I'm going to explain why I don't ship it in canon or even the vast majority of fanon

Why don’t you ship it?

so most spideypool content is movie Wade x mcu or webb Peter which makes it seem like there's an incredible age difference which is just so fucked up because one of the core parts of Wade is that he doesn't hurt kids so to see so much fan content around him manipulating a child is really upsetting from a character stand point. And even when we're talking about the comics, everyone thinks of the Joe Kelly isn't it bromantic run which is excellent but it's such a weird point in their lives. Like there's so much potential for both of them together but fans kinda cling to the wrong things and twist my boys into completely different characters

2. What would have made you like it?

Give me canon compliance or give me death like it's so rare to find a spideypool fic where they're both in character or hell even one of them is in character. This is a ship with a lot of potential to be so fucking messy but not in the way fans make it. Like usually it's Wade that is borderline abusive to Peter, but I would argue that if they ever started dating, Peter would really hurt Wade whether he knows it or not. Like this could be really interesting if Wade got Peter to compromise his morals or if Peter twisted Wade's hero worship of Spider-Man to get him to conform to his worldview. But it's so rare to see anyone take it that direction. Usually it's just Peter being like "oh no he's so big and scary" and Wade being like "how could he love a monster like me" as if either of them would ever. Just let them be a little terrible you know?

3. Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

It's a gateway drug to thinking Peter Parker is bisexual and for me, it was how I got into comics. Like I got really into online comic fandom around 2016 when all those bromantic queerbait panels were floating around the internet and I went looking for their source and that's how I started reading comics. And like fuck it's good queer bait, it has me frothing at the mouth like it is equal to destiel in my mind like there's so much to pick apart there. And it's a ship with so much potential! Like I love it so much I genuinely do ship it, but I only trust me and a couple other people to do it right. Like it's so fun when you fully lean into how terrible each of them are, but also how much love they have for the world. Like if the internet wasn't cowardly, we'd bring matt and elektra energy to spideypool
