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 and 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.

Foggy didn’t bother knocking as he entered the apartment. He raised a brow at the little pile of toys in the entrance, seemingly in a careful array. He had to google if raccoons created little hoards of things, While adorable, it was …his best friend had a raccoon as a pet. ‘nough said.

He shook his head and walked into the living room. He paused. Sitting on the couch was Matt, headphones blaring something from his phone, and Thurgood, her chubby body looking right at home next to Matt. Matt’s head bounced along to a beat. His gaze was off into the distance.

In front the two on the coffee table were two small bowls of grapes. Thurgood had a pile on her stomach. Matt grabbed a grape into his mouth every few beats with one hand. His other hand grazed along the Braille page in front of him.

Thurgood chittered a greeting to him then she began working on a grape. Matt paused and cocked his head.

“What is it girl?” Matt took off his headphones and immediately centered on Foggy. Which was never going to be not creepy. “Foggy.”

“Matt. Are we still playing that Thurgood is a cat?” He asked. Matt gave him that ‘I will fuck you up if you touch my pet’ face.

“Thurgood is a cat, Foggy.”

He pointed a finger at the fat raccoon who was gazing at Foggy with beady eyes and working on another grape. “Thurgood is eating a grape. Several of them. Cats can’t eat grapes.”

Matt scoffed. “Clearly that’s not true of all cats. Thurgood loves grapes. Hasn’t had an issue since she got diarrhea as a baby.”

“Ew. I remember that. God. It was everywhere.” He made a face. Matt copied it (though obviously unknowingly).

Thurgood made a noise and Foggy saw she had finished her little pile of grapes. Matt did a stupid face (indulgent if he really had to label it). Then promptly gave Thurgood another pile.
Thurgood made a pleased sound and began to eat them again.

“You know you’re not supposed to overfeed her.”

“They’re *grapes*, Foggy. They’re not going to get her fat.”

“She’s ALREADY fat. The vet said she had to lose at least two pounds.”

“The vet is full of it.”

“You weren’t there.” Foggy pointed out because Matt had a thing about hospitals (animal or otherwise).

“How can you tell me she is fat, Fogs?” Matt demanded and proceeded to pick up Thurgood who made a noise at the lost of her grapes as they fell to the floor. She squirmed to get away. He hugged her. “She’s not fat.” Said rolls of rat jiggled as Matt stood up and harassed his raccoon with love.

After she bit him for the fifth time (never breaking skin), Matt put her down. “See, she’s perfect.” His forearm was going to be bruised tomorrow. Foggy thought as THurgood gathered her grapes and ran to her fountain. “Why are you here, anyway?”

“Dinner? We’re going to review the case?”

“It’s that late already?” Matt mused and shook his head. “Okay, let me get ready.” Foggy sat down and began to eat a few of the grapes from Matt’s bowl. Thurgood waddled back and hissed at him. Foggy wondered what he was doing. He offered her a grape. The hissing intensified.

He moved to where Matt was sitting. Thurgood hopped on the couch and sat him his spot, or more to say her spot. Then she stole a grape from him. She made a little noise and nudged his leg. Did she want more? He offered her more. She ignored them. Tentatively he pet her. She made a content noise.

Aw.

Also ew.

She was greasy. She needed a bath.

Matt came out a moment later dressed to head out for dinner and a long night at the office. He cocked his head. “She’s happy.”

“I know.” Which was making it worse when they had to give her away. Matt gave Thurgood a pet goodbye and they headed out.

There were less toys than before. Foggy thought as Thurgood settled on the couch. In fact there was less ‘cat’ things in general. Maybe Matt was starting to get ready to let go, even if he didn’t want too.

"Matt, I really don't know if you want me in your place, right now. What if I scare Thurgood? Cats hate water." The wet Karen said as they neared the door. The occupant snorted and shook his head.

"Thurgood likes water. Not all cats hate that."

"Just not like all blind guys go to law school and parkour everywhere."

"I do not parkour everywhere." Matt griped but opened the door. The apartment was dark and quiet. Karen spotted the cat beds and water fountain as she entered. The apartment smelled a bit humid. Matt disappeared into his bedroom and came out with a towel. Karen turned as he approached and gaped at the fat lump following him.

"Uh Matt."

"Got you a towel." He said with a smile that reached his sightless eyes. She smiled, not sure what Matt could sense and looked down. He must have realized it because his smile got bigger. He picked up the raccoon, which gave a sound of surprise but didn't do much else. They turned to her. "This is Thurgood."

"Matt...I thought you said Thurgood was a cat." The look quickly turned sour.

"She is a cat. Has Foggy gotten you to play along too?"

"Matt...I have no idea what you're talking about but that is a raccoon." Thurgood chittered at her, beady eyes gazing into her very depth. Matt frowned.

"You're not lying."

"No. That is a raccoon. A very domesticated raccoon from the looks of it." Matt put Thurgood down. The raccoon made her way to a embossed bowl and nudged it. Matt's face went dopey and yeah, that was Thurgood all right.

"I love her." He said with a simplicity that rung true. It didn't matter if she turned out to be a demon of hell. Matt Murdock loved his pet. Karen thought as she dried off and Matt fed his pet.

"Yes but...do you really think she's happy in here and not out there in the city?"

"She sounds happy. Her heart is steady and she sleeps next to me a lot." Matt said a hint of stubbornness in his voice. "I also found her mom dead. You can't tell me she isn't safer here than out there."

"She can have raccoon friends out there." She paused as the little raccoon made happy sounds as she grabbed kibble and ran to her fountain, well more like waddled. "Okay not in the city but maybe a ranch? There has to be places for animals like Thurgood, wild but not."

"I don't know." Matt said but the fact that his 'cat' was missing out on things seemed to making happy.

"We'll look. If we can't find a place then she'll stay. What do you say?"

"Looking doesn't hurt and I can see if someone is lying. Thurgood...I want her to have the best."

"Yes."

"I don't want her to go."

"I'm not saying she has to go, but she is a raccoon, Matt. She might be happier elsewhere. Just think about it?"

"Okay."

Karen smiled and wondered just how odd Matt's life was.

"You know this is not what I thought I'd ever get a license for." Foggy griped as he entered Matt's apartment. Matt looked up, or more accurately, turned to him from his counter. A cup of coffee was next to him.

"What?"

"I said I didn't think I'd ever learn to drive for this." He jingled the keys. "So my blind best friend could visit the sanctuary his raccoon is staying at."

"I'm her father, Foggy. I can't not visit." Matt said scandalized and picked up a bag containing a stuffed bear and tiny cat toys. There was probably snacks in there too. And a donation to keep the sanctuary open from people who were suffering some sort of blunt force trauma.

Foggy sighed and frowned at the sight of a bowl. The words "Thurgood II" were engraved on there. Matt grinned.

"I got a dog. He's a puppy and I was going to tell you when you came." He said excitedly. "Duo!" he called. A little lump ran to him from his bedroom. It had a tail, four legs, a snout and definitely belonged to the canid family.

But it was not not a dog.

"Matt-" Matt looked up, that stupid look back on his face. "We should probably get going. You can't spend all day gone with a new baby." Matt nodded and kissed his 'dog' goodbye.

He wasn't going to say anything.

Nope.

Not this time.

Just thank goodness the sanctuary took in coyotes too.
