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 - e.g. prompts from post #2 cannot be reposted until post #4. Please include a link to where it has been previously posted.

Fills
When posting a fill, either add [FILL] (or something similar) to the subject line, or change the subject line to the title of your 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.

So it's done! Thank you readers. This meme feels dead lately but thanks so much!

Matt and Frank only had moments, and there was so much left to say. Matt felt that he was entirely at a loss.

"You need to go as far as you can," he said decisively. "I'd reccomend heading to Canada, but I doubt that you'll listen to me."

"I can't bring down slavery there," Frank responded. "I can't do my job in Canada."

"It is a better quest than revenge," Matt said, reluctantly. "What you did was very brave. It made a real stand."

"It also took the heat off of you. Your lawyers can use that."

"Are you going to be okay?"

"Yeah, I will be," Frank assured him immediately. "I feel a lot better. I mean, I don't wanna get on my knees for you right now and that's a big start."

It took Matt a moment to catch the faint hint of humor there, but it was there all the same. It made him smile unexpectedly and also led him to wonder what Frank Castle had been like before his world was torn apart.

"That is something."

"What about you? Are you going to be okay?"

"I am." Matt surprised even himself with those words. "I'll get through this one."

"Be safe," Frank said.

"You do the same."

"Sir?" Frank asked.

Matt froze. It was always going to be jarring to hear Frank talk about him in such a manner. The man was improving, for sure, but recovery was going to be a very long road.

"What is it?"

Matt could feel the tension in the air; it hunt between them and waited - just waited for something.

Frank kissed him.

Out of all of that tension, he leaned over and kissed Matt gently, but with a grim determination plastered across his face. Matt fell into the kiss, arms around Frank, just holding on tightly. It felt so right - it felt like melting, slipping into something better than he was.

"I'm sorry," Frank whispered when their lips parted. Matt didn't have to be able to see to sense the clear rush of panic. "I had to do that."

"No..." he managed. "Don't - don't be sorry, Frank. That was not...not bad."

"Not bad, huh?" Frank laughed. "I guess that's a compliment. I'm sure I used to get better than 'not bad' though."

"Why did you kiss me?"

"I wanted to," Frank said, and there was nothing in his heartbeat or his heavy breathing that indicated a lie. "I beat myself up for awhile, convinced that those feelings were made up by them, manufactured or something, but they're not. I wanted to."

"I believe you."

"So, I just wanted you to know how I was feeling before I go."

"I feel it too," Matt finally admitted. "I know that I feel a lot."

"I hope I'll be seeing you."

"You will," Matt said, trying to be confident. "Trust me."

"I do," Frank assured softly. "But si...Matt. I'm not a changed man and I hope you don't hate me for that. I'm not, not entirely."

"What do you mean?"

"I wanna stop the slavers, and this is a new sort-of purpose for me, but I'm a killer. I won't stop being that."

"You don't have to be anything, Frank."

"I know," Frank replied. "Mostly this is just a warning. Don't hate me."

"I won't."

"Goodbye, then."

Deciding that he needed to act, Matt stepped forward. He felt Frank shrink back in instinctive anticipation, but the man did not move far. Matt leaned over and pressed his lips to Frank's again, enjoying the drag of their lips against one another's. He reached up and pressed his hand to the man's face, and then pulled back.

"I'll be seeing you."

It was two months before Foggy left his fancy job, and Nelson & Murdock was reignited. It seemed that Karen had unknowingly left Foggy with a deep passion for undoing the evils of slavery, in spite of his opinion of Frank. Matt, too, wanted to refocus the new firm's efforts on the rights of all human beings.

So they started the good fight.

People still believed he was Daredevil, despite the fact that he'd denied it, and Frank's game of dress up cast doubts. It was impossible to close a can of worms that had been opened. Still, Matt was more concerned with the new mission statement of his firm.

Helping those who deserve their humanity.

Every couple of weeks, he would hear about some effort on Frank's part. Many of Daredevil's attempts on slave offices led to that office subsequently shutting down. People died, and Matt tried his best not to let that bother him.

There was a hope and a future for those burdened by slavery, and Matt Murdock was not the only man working toward that goal.
