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

All comments must be anon. 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.

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 mandatory. 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.

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

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 are all welcome.

If it wasn't written specifically for the prompt, it doesn't count as a fill. You are welcome to provide a link to already existing fic that does fit the prompt, in case the prompter hasn't seen it, but it doesn't count as a fill.

"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. It has been two days since my last confession."

The words fall out of Matt's lips, comfortable, rote. He doesn't have to think about this, the ritual of unburdening himself, any more than he has to think of breathing or digestion. Wrapped up in the rite of confession, it takes him a moment to realize that the figure listening to him seems unconcerned with breathing in an entirely different sort of way. That is, it isn't breathing at all.

It isn't dead. The sensations of death and dying are ordered and unforgettable. Death smells of flesh turning sour and metallic blood congealing on the street. Cardiac necrosis is swift, individual cells sputtering out into arrhythmia and stasis. Oxygen in the blood is used up. This beast has no use for oxygen or skin, blood or cardiac muscle. Yet it exists, as solid as Father Lantom on the other side of the lattice.

"Who's there?" Matt asks. His voice does not waver.

"The man without fear," whispers the figure at a pitch usually reserved for dog whistles. Matt winces with pain. "Such a good Catholic boy. In agony without making a sound." The voice pauses, briefly. "So good at swallowing your pain."

The air in the confessional vibrates, and Matt loses his bearings. He could be anywhere, now. He tries to speak or scream, but nothing comes out.

"This is my show, Matty. You'll speak when I'm done."

Cold dread pools in Matt's stomach.

"You're a talented man, Matt Murdock. It's not every day I meet someone so good at resisting me with such...temptation in their heart. But know this: I will win you one day. No matter how hard you fight. No matter how hard you try to do good things in the world. I will win."

A sound like snapping fingers reorients Matt. He's still in the confessional; his entire body is covered in sweat.

"For the sake of the game...go ahead and keep running," whispers the piercing voice. "I'll keep an eye on you...my devil of Hell's Kitchen."

Then he is gone, leaving behind only the empty weight of air on the other side of the confessional.

Matt runs out of the church as fast as his legs will carry him. When he gets home, he scours the sweat off of his body until his hands are hot and sore.

ohhh, this is creepy and fantastic.
