Please head over to Discussion Post #2!

Okay, so I wanna write a fic in which Matt is cursed to always tell the truth and have absolutely no one believe him. I've got the reveal scene written in which Foggy asks him if he's really blind and the curse makes him walk out, but I've got absolutely no idea where to go from there. I know I don't want him to lose his law license, but kinda want everything else to fall apart, so help?

Why does the curse make Matt walk out?

Oh no, it's Foggy who walks out because the curse makes him think Matt's lying. Sorry, that was ambiguous.

So it's going to be set during the season, just that Matt has the curse?

probably around mid-season and beyond

Oh, alright!

Well I think losing Foggy and Karen to his "lying" would be enough to make his life absolutely miserable until he can find a way to reverse his curse. Maybe he becomes super reckless as Daredevil after losing Foggy and Karen and runs himself ragged due to emotional issues.

Yeah, that's pretty much what's gonna happen, but how do I avoid him being disbarred and how does the curse break? I pretty much have nothing beyond "this curse causes Matt emotional pain".

I wouldn't worry about that, since the show really didn't. Aside from that one trial thing and also working on Elena's case, Nelson & Murdock didn't actually have much lawyer-related work to do. Their firm isn't really on the successful side yet.

Oh yeah...we only got like one court scene. Okay, but do you have any ideas on how it should be broken? I'm not having Matt jump off a roof or try to commit suicide via criminal or something because absolutely no one believes him when he speaks/writes/thinks anything.

NAYRT: (though I was the anon who said Matt would be miserable enough just losing Foggy and Karen)

I think it'll depend on how he gets the curse. This is just a suggestion: but using magical ninja chi energy to make Matt's life miserable and to make him lose his friends sounds like it's up Stick or one of his associate's alley. So maybe he could confront said kung fu wizard?

Or a way to break the curse would be to make someone BELIEVE that he's telling the truth somehow.

I was thinking of Foggy confronting Daredevil and yanking the mask off and having the curse break because Matt/Daredevil's said something along the lines of "I am Matt Murdock/Daredevil" just seconds earlier and the curse can't compete with physical proof, so it breaks.

But the ninja fight's a good idea! Maybe, I can have him caged somewhere that nullifies the curse for a bit while the rest of his friends hunt down the ninja....?

AYART:

I think Foggy yanking off the mask is a great idea!
