Rules:
General
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 - Truth

Maria tripped.

She was six-months pregnant, tired and she tripped. Matt had, of course, sprung into action. He leaped forward and caught her by the arm as she stumbled, pulling her against him. She let out a gasp of surprise and relief.

Then she looked at him and he felt her heart rate increase considerably.

"Matt?" she asked. "How did you do that?"

Matt held her against his chest. He had reacted, immediately, not caring about the consequences. Matt had tried several times over to tell Maria and Frank about himself and what he was capable of doing. He had never, however, found the right moment. How did he explain something like that to the two people he loved? He didn't want to change anything about their world.

"Maria," he whispered, letting her go. It had taken months for him to get used to using their first names. "I guess we need to talk, but we need to wait until he's home too..."

So, they waited.

An hour later, all three of them were seated in the same living room where Maria had told them she was pregnant. Now, it was Matt's turn to lay on the bombshell and he wasn't exactly sure how to proceed. He could feel them both staring at him.

"I told you both about the accident that blinded me," he said softly. Even though he no longer had his sight, it was hard not to see that day replayed over and over on the back of his mind. "There were these chemicals and then next thing I knew I was in the hospital, blind."

"Yes, you told us..." Maria said, taking his hand.

"I was blind, but there was something else," Matt admitted, slowly. "I couldn't see, but I could do other things. I could hear a baby being born three floors down. I could smell the exact number of cigarettes the doctor had smoked and feel his heart racing. I knew he was scared because he wasn't certain if one of his patients was going to make it..."

"How's that possible?" Frank asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "That can't be..."

"Trust me, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me either," Matt said. He could feel the nervousness radiating off of both of the people he loved and he hoped this didn't change how they felt about him. He was just another person. "I can use my other senses to create a sort of picture of the world around me. I can't see anything, visually, but I can tell little things that help me..."

"That's extraordinary," Maria whispered. "Matt, you just saved the baby, you know that?"

"I..." Matt began, and shook his head. "I just felt that you were about to stumble by the way your breath caught and your foot scuffed against the floor."

"If I'd fallen, I could have hurt her," she said, softly. "I'm a clutz, Matthew. I could have fallen and seriously hurt our little girl and your gift stopped that."

"My gift?" Matt asked. He'd never really heard it referred to us such. His father had thought he was traumatized and the nuns thought he was crazy. Once he'd settled and realized it was real, he thought of it more as a thing to control, to tame. "Is it a gift?"

"It is."

Matt turned towards Frank, who had spoken up. He couldn't help himself. He stepped over and hugged him tightly.
