YKINMKATO. Play nice. Respect others. 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.

Prompts focusing on characters from Jessica Jones should go on the Jessica Jones Prompt Post, but crossovers with Daredevil can go on either post.

Prompts that are exclusively about the comics should go on the Comics Prompt 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 - 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.

Matt didn't sleep that night. Instead, he watched Frank to make sure he slept. It had nearly induced a panic attack to suggest Frank take his bed, so Matt had left him to sleep on the sofa, a soft blanket over him. He listened for over an hour until Frank's rate of breathing dropped and he was asleep.

Luckily, Frank did not have nightmares, but Matt could tell while watching him that there was a lot of pain there. He slept curled into himself, his breathing low and every so often he would make a low whining sound that meant only one thing - hurt.

It turned out that Matt's new duty had been leaked to the public within the hour. As he sat in a chair, watching Frank sleep, his phone alerted him to a slew of new emails which he had the text reader on his phone read out.

This he began to regret instantly.

Many of the messages were clear in the opinion that death was the only proper punishment for Frank. One said that he deserved to be in pieces, rather than "serving some soft, blind lawyer who will never lay on the whip properly." People expressed their disbelief and utter disgust and shame in the system, but the people who thought Frank needed to die weren't the only ones. Some of the messages were from those who admired Frank, revered him as a hero for the things he had done. Matt was, in their opinion, an awful person for taking The Punisher off the streets. Those emails seemed to pay no attention to the fact that Matt wasn't the one who condemned Frank to slavery. In fact, he'd tried to avoid it.

One email stood out to Matt. It was from an anonymous address that gave no indication of the person's name, age, or gender.

"Please don't stop him from doing what he has to do," the email begged, in the text-reader's mechanical voice. "One of the men Frank Castle killed destroyed my life. He did it to hundreds, if not thousands just like me - when we were only children. The Punisher made sure that he'd never hurt anyone again. If you truly believe in him, you won't stop him."

Matt groaned and tossed his phone across the table lightly, just far enough to make it skid across the surface.

This was enough to wake Frank up. The man stirred on the sofa, groaning in confusion.

"Frank?" he asked, standing up and approaching the man.

Frank scrambled off of the sofa and nearly hurt himself in the clamor to drop onto his knees. Matt lurched forward a bit, in his eager desire to stop the other man, but he couldn't.

"Frank?" he asked gently.

"Yes, sir."

"Stand up," Matt said softly. He did not like the calm, assertive tone he had to take, but he had a feeling that it was what Frank needed, especially in the condition he was in. "Stand up and look at me, Frank."

Frank stood up and looked straight at him. Matt could practically feel the burn of Frank's steady gaze.

"Do you remember the trial well?" Matt asked gently. He was just trying to get a gauge for what had happened in the months that followed - even though he was convinced that he'd never be able to bear what happened if he found out.

Frank, of course, responded immediately.

"Yes, sir."

"What do you remember?"

"I remember you and Mr. Nelson representing my case, sir," Frank murmured demurely. "You were very brave, both of you were. He was...well-spoken, sir."

Matt winced at the memories. He had failed Foggy when he needed him most, and now here he was, paying his penance of sorts.

"Do you want to talk about what happened afterward?" he asked.

Frank didn't speak, but Matt heard his breath hitch.

"We don't have to," he said immediately. "I don't want to. I just wanted to make sure that if you needed to talk about it, that the option was there for you."

Frank didn't say anything, but Matt knew he nodded slowly.

ohhhh, my babies. poor frank. poor matt. everything is complicated and conflicted and HURTS SO. GOOD.

I absolutely love your writing, the world building is absolutely phenomenal. I've been checking this thread everyday since your first fill and I usually don't comment just lurk, but I'm coming out of the shadows to let you know you are doing an incredible job and I appreciate this fill very much. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I'm incredibly happy to bring you out of lurkerdom! I'm having a lot of fun with this.
