General
YKINMKATO. Play nice. If you don't like something, scroll on.

All comments must be anon.

Subject lines should only be changed if you're posting a prompt or a fill (indicators like OP or Author!Anon should go in the body of the comment).

RPF is allowed. Crossovers, characters from the extended Marvel Universe and comics canon are allowed, but must relate to the 2015 TV show in some way.

Discussion not related to the prompt should be moved to the discussion/off-topic post.

Drop a comment on the mod post if you have any questions or problems.

Prompts
All types of prompts are welcome.

Use the subject line for the main idea of your prompt (pairing or characters, keywords, kink).

Warnings are nice, but not necessary. Get DW Blocker if there's anything you really don't want to see.

Reposted prompts are allowed once one round has passed - i.e., prompts from post #2 cannot be reposted until post #4. Please include a link to where it has been previously posted.

Fills
Put [FILL] or something similar in the subject line when posting a fill.

Long fills can either be posted over multiple comments, or posted on AO3 and linked back here.

Multiple fills are always okay.

Fills can be anything! Fic, art, vids, interpretative dance...

Announce your fill on either the Completed Fills Post or the WIP Post.

If you would like to be politely banned to avoid anon-failing, leave a logged-in comment on the mod post or pm the mod account.

A week later, Matt abruptly burst into Foggy’s office while Karen was at lunch. “Did you demon your way into my apartment the other night?”

Foggy blinked at him. “Uh. Maybe,” he said in the way that meant “Yes.”

“Oh. Okay.” Matt turned to leave.

“Wait, that’s it?” Foggy spluttered. “You’re not mad?”

“No, of course not. You’re always welcome over,” Matt replied. “It’d just been bothering me, since my door hadn’t smelled like you’d touched it to get in the normal way.”

“You’re creepy.”

“You’re a demon.”

“You have a point,” Foggy admitted.

//

Three days later, on the way back to the office after an off-site interview with a witness to a case, Foggy got to lay his first deliberate curse.

Matt was in stitches by the time they reached the office. It was even the good sort of stitches rather than the painful, stiff, and bloody variety that he was more used to.

Karen gave them the “You’re both mad” smile she’d perfected within the first six weeks of working for them. “What is it now?”

Foggy gave her a cold smile. “Someone said something mean to Matt. I got even.” He patted Matt on the back as he continued to choke on his giggles.

She knew he could have a temper; everyone did, after all, even if it was slow to burn. But the smile he gave her now was thin, and quick, and cold, and more like what she saw on Matt on a bad day than anything Foggy ever wore.

But Matt straightened, got a grip on himself, and gave Foggy a blindingly bright smile, and Karen’s unease slipped away. Whatever Foggy’d done couldn’t have been that bad if it made Matt so happy.

(Outside, four blocks away, the douchebag who’d snatched Matt’s cane away and told him to echolocate continued poorly parkouring around rubbish bins, fire hydrants, and parked cars, arms flapping like wings as he loudly declared himself Batman. He would find himself doing this anytime he was in the vicinity of a vision-impaired person for years to come.)

Understandably, Matt and Foggy talked about their respective Things often. Matt’s Thing was nicknamed his Nighttime Hobby while Foggy’s Thing (after an evening of binge-watching/describing Supernatural) was the Family Business.

Matt had trouble understanding exactly what Foggy could or couldn’t do, probably because Foggy had trouble explaining it. They more or less got that there was a general pool of powers that Foggy could utilize just by virtue of being a demon, but he could only manage complicated enchantments if they were within his domain or arguably close to it, with vague and undefined repercussions to follow.

(Matt pointed out that Foggy was an excellent debater, and therefore his range of ‘arguably close’ was quite possibly a good deal broader than that of many demons.)

From there on out, Foggy could try, but the results were more likely to be… not what he’d intended. His skills would also get better the more he used them—if he intended to. Not, of course, that he did. Because that would be wrong. Even if Batdouche had been hilarious.

Foggy. Foggy. Fog—

“I GOT IT,” Foggy exclaimed excitedly as soon as Matt picked up the phone. “I'm like a Demon-Born or some other homebrewed equivalent, except Lawful Good. I get race and class bonuses to a bunch of spells and natural Prestidigitation and I can try anything, but I still need to gain XP to get good, I’m always going to be slower or worse with spells outside of my specialization, and there are some schools of magic I won’t be able to ever do!”

“... Did you really call me at two A.M. to compare your life to Dungeons & Dragons?” Matt asked.

“It’s not like you were asleep anyway.”

“Were you spying on me?”

“The technical term is scrying, thank you.”

Matt hung up.

Oh My God! I'm the OP and I can officially say that you are my favorite person at this moment. Thank you! Thank you!

I love this fill. It's awesome and funny and it's extremely in character for them. Ahaha, I love it.

I love how Foggy is using pop culture to try to explain himself his situation since he wasn't brought up as a demon.

I really loved this part. It's so freaking succinct in arguments that clearly lawschool was not wasted on the guys:

"You’re creepy.”

“You’re a demon.”

Seriously. Favorite Person. Ever.

Hi, OP! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

Oh man, Foggy comparing his life to d&d is something I didn't know I needed lmao

This is great

He was totally a tabletop gamer growing up, I betcha.

Thanks!

Hee! This fill is delightfully silly.

Thank you!

omg, this is glorious.

(please link this on either the completed or WIP fills post! it's so good and everyone needs to know that it's here)

Done! I almost never post snippets or minifills or anything under like 1k words, so I didn't even think about it...

Thanks!

*never post snippets or minifills to the Completed/WIP posts, I mean

The whole thing is wonderful but "The technical term is scrying, thank you" made me laugh out loud.

ahaha this is BEAUTIFUL! :D

Laughing so hard right now. I did not know I needed this is my life until now :)
