This post is for prompts based on Daredevil and the surrounding MCU only. Any prompts involving characters or plot points from Netflix's Jessica Jones must go on the Jessica Jones Prompt Post. Prompts focusing on comic characters and storylines should go on the Marvel Comics Prompt Post.


Rules:

• General
  
  1. YKINMKATO. Play nice. If you don't like something, scroll on.
  
  
  2. 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.
  
  
  3. IP Logging is currently on. Only the mod can see them, and the mod will only be paying attention to them when threads turn wanky and she wants to identify comments made by the same person.
  
  
  4. 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).
  
  
  5. RPF is allowed. Crossovers, characters from the extended Marvel Universe (excluding characters from Jessica Jones) and comics canon are allowed, but must relate to the 2015 TV show in some way.
  
  
  6. Prompts involving characters from Jessica Jones (including crossovers with Daredevil characters or the extended MCU) must go on the Jessica Jones Prompt Post.
  
  
  7. Prompts that are exclusively about the comics should go on the Comics Prompt Post.
  
  
  8. Discussion not related to the prompt should be moved to the discussion/off-topic post.
  
  
  9. Drop a comment on the mod post if you have any questions or problems.


• Prompts
  
  1. All types of prompts are welcome.
  
  
  2. Use the subject line for the main idea of your prompt (pairing or characters, keywords, kink).
  
  
  3. Warnings are nice, but not mandatory. Get DW Blocker if there's anything you really don't want to see.
  
  
  4. 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
  
  1. Put [FILL] or something similar in the subject line when posting a fill.
  
  
  2. Announce your fill on either the Completed Fills Post or the WIP Post.
  
  
  3. Long fills can either be posted over multiple comments, or posted on AO3 and linked back here.
  
  
  4. Multiple fills are always okay.
  
  
  5. Fills can be anything! Fic, art and vids are all welcome.
  
  
  6. 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.

Flash Fic Challenge Fill ("She gave a vague shrug. I say we go with it."

[(Anonymous)]

"She gave a vague shrug. I say we go with it."

That's the first thing Foggy says that really penetrates; odd that he's talking to Matt. What's even odder is that it's the start of a new kind of life for her, where she refuses to let weakness--her own or others'--stop justice from being done. Senora Cardenas needs help in her apartment and Karen doesn't exactly know how to help? She'll follow Foggy's lead and go with it anyhow. Ben seems a little reluctant to follow the story? Karen will get out and push if she has to. Wesley gets distracted from a loaded gun? Well, Karen will go with it, if that's all the vague direction she's given.

Funny how it all feels like flailing around, after awhile. Flailing around, getting other people hurt in the crossfire--like Daniel was, before she'd ever met the lawyers almost as desperate for a client as she was for their aid. Sometimes it doesn't seem worth it. That time Matt gave her more than a vague shrug--gave her a clear call for help and accepted it from her? She felt apologetic for how hard she'd made them work for it in the beginning. Because it turns out that helping people felt a lot better when they'd asked for it in the first place.

---So it isn't really a fic, more a musing about the show? I did try.
