After meeting Matt, art nerd Vanessa is inspired to look into artwork for the blind (You saw how she dragged him around the gallery, I bet she'd love to guide his hand over a painting)
She creates her own 'Braille painting' or other touchable artwork with him as inspiration, and invites him to come view it.

Can be gen or Vanessa/Matt

Your choice if Fisk knows and how he reacts (or if he joins Vanessa and her pretty muse)

"You came back, Mr. Murdock." Her voice is lush and smoky, like good brandy, warm on his tongue. "I'm surprised, but pleased."

"I couldn't resist, your offer was just too intriguing." He smiles at her, and feels her take him by the arm, gently. He likes her touch, even though he knows to whom she belongs. Or rather, to whom she has given her heart, for a woman like her belongs to no one.

"I hoped it would be."

Matt can smell her perfume, which is something clean and light, juniper and crisp lime. It's not at all like he expected a woman in her position to wear. No lush florals for her, just something that smells like a crisp breeze on his skin. A contrast to her smoky, playful voice. She uses some kind of lotion on her hands, on her face; her dress is silk, and it whispers over her skin as she moves. He hates that he knows precisely why she is so alluring to Fisk.

"Come, let me show you."

They make their way over to the piece on the far wall. With his other senses he reaches out, tries to form an image of it: Linseed oil and turpentine, cotton, lead white. There's copper, not bloody but wiry, and with it, something earthy, grassy. He feels the corner of his mouth twitch up.

"Here we are." She says.

"Describe it to me."

He feels her pose shift, as she moves her hand down to entwine with his. "Why don't you see for yourself?"

His skin prickles with awareness, with fear and a hint of desire, at her touch. She is either bold or dangerous, possibly both, the way she is touching him. No pretense of gentle leading around the art gallery now, no favor to a blind man, just touch and pure sensation. Matt feels her lift his hand up, and he reaches out, and touches the piece on the wall.

There is a grid, he feels, comprised of thick waves of paint underneath his fingers. Then, to the right of it, the grid becomes finer and finer until all he feels are little ridges, like scales, or feathers. He lets his cane fall back against his shoulder, and raises his other hand, intrigued. And with gentle touches he studies the landscape of the artwork before him, reveling in the curve of the lines up and to the left. There, copper wire, he feels--that explains the scent--and it's formed into sinuous, curving line, comprised of tight loops of the thick wire. And there, following two sleek lines downward--the shape of a woman's waist, and a swath of burlap or muslin or linen--that's the grassy scent.

"Remarkable..." He says, and he means it.

"The Snake Goddess." Vanessa answers, and he cannot decipher whether her awestruck voice is a response to the piece, or to him. "Her arms are dark burnished brown. Her waist, there, curving down to the swell of her belly."

"It's beautiful." Matt's hands play lightly across the fabric of the goddess' skirt. "I've never... never encountered anything like this before."

"I suspected as much." Vanessa smiles. "That's why I acquired it."

"For me?" He turns to her, and lets his hands fall, reluctantly, back to his sides. Inside his mind is the image of the goddess on the canvas, a woman in movement, her head proud, her gaze direct, assertive.

"For someone who can truly appreciate it." She replies. "And it appears that you do."

"Yes." He says. "I... thank you."

"I didn't do it because I pity you, Mr. Murdock." She chides, tone playful.

Matt smiles. "Well, that's refreshing."

"I did it because I think perhaps I understand you."

The way he's responded to the piece, he has to reluctantly admit that she's right. And yet the implications of that--the fear that he stands alongside Fisk in any way, with any sort of similarity, sends a trail of ice-cold fear down his spine. And his hands remain at his side, although he longs to lift them, and touch once more.

(IDK THIS WAS JUST A GOOD PROMPT OK)

omg now I want to see/touch that piece myself, it's so vividly described! well done, anon. :D

Thank you so much!!!

Yesss anon I love this

O H G O S H

(thanks)

Wow. I feel like I was really "seeing" the piece right there with him. :-D

(Also, I love the thought of Vanessa standing there watching him run his fingers over a very sensual piece of art, lol).

Yes, thanks! The prompt was so interesting, and I love the idea that Vanessa is kind of a matchmaker in what she does, truly understanding the art as well as the person, and finding the perfect couple...

Aaaaaaaaaah, ok, this so does it for me like, you don't even know. I'm an artist and I do a bit of everything; painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, mixed-media, etc.

It's such an odd experience, because you develop a relationship with a piece and you become intimate with the medium you work with, and sometimes your face is inches away from it as you work, and then..... you put it on a wall for someone to gaze at from a meter or two away.

like???? people, touch it. feel the places I added salt into the paint to make the texture. put your eye close to the part where i scraped away the top coat to show some of the base colour underneath.

Yasssss thank you this means so much to hear from an artist. I love the idea of art as communication, a conversation between the artist and the viewer. Or in this case, the toucher...

Oooh, that was really cool! Vanessa would absolutely find tactilely interesting art and introduce it to Matt, because she's not the sort of person to pass up a challenge and I think she'd also enjoy learning a new way to appreciate art just for herself. And of course Matt would find it unsettling to be understood by someone who can also understand (and love, and stand by) someone like Fisk.

This is amazing and I have so much praise that I can't even form it into decent English right now. The short version is that this is beautiful. Vanessa is so spot-on that I can practically hear Ayelet Zurer speaking the dialogue, and your style is perfect to show Matt experiencing the world.

I've read it 5-6 times by now, and each time is just as good if not better than the one before. You're very talented and I hope you find a forgotten $20 in the pocket of your jacket.

Author here oh gosh oh gosh ok thank you so much!!

*blushes deeply, swoons onto nearby fainting couch*

So wonderful. ^_^
