I want an AU where indentured servitude still exists and can apply to the children of indebted servants. Jack Murdock's debt is owned by the boxing fixers. After his son is blinded, Jack decides to bet heavy on himself and win enough money to pay off his debt and the legacy debt of his son.
We know how that story ends.
Matt's alone in the world now, and taken in by an orphanage that trains young people to be servants (as they owe a debt now for their care). Stick still takes over Matt's training and, the people who murdered his father, take over the debt.
Fifteen years later, Fisk crosses these low-level gamblers and fixers and sees the value in the quiet blind man who can disarm anyone in 10 seconds and won't stay down. He buys Matt's debt and with the help of Vanessa, emotional manipulation and psychological torture, gains loyalty from him.
Matt remains their loyal attack dog (although they cannot beat out of him his refusal to kill) until he somehow crosses paths with Claire...and then Foggy.
I'm looking for something similar to the 2005 movie, Unleashed, but Matt is still literate and verbal, just withdrawn. Reduced to a possession of the Fisks in every sense of the word.
Semi-dystopian AU, Matt is Fisk's attack dog (M/V/F), Claire redeems him, Foggy loves him
