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
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.

Vanessa wasn’t the kind of woman who shouted. She was the kind of woman who fumed, whose remarks were biting, but who kept very voice down and whose inner calm betrayed nothing of what she was actually feeling. Matt couldn’t get a real read on her when she was trying to cover up an emotion, but especially now, when he was missing an additional sense and a little muddled by pain.

She did not dismiss their behavior as “boys will be boys” (though it was clear she both thought of them as toddlers at the moment even if she didn’t say it), which had been their hope, nor did she act totally surprised. Disappointed was the best word, though Matt had a feeling she was saving most of it up for Fisk, presumably because (a) he was older, (b) this was his apartment and Matt was a guest, and (c) he was the one actually marrying her. She dressed them down considerably, but only after attending to Fisk’s eye, which had apparently swollen completely shut. Matt obediently ate his dinner (tasting almost nothing of it) and fled at the earliest possible moment, leaving Fisk to his fate. The last he heard between them before putting on his headphones was that this was not the first dining room table Fisk had gone through.

And she also didn’t make them make-up in front of her, so that was good. Neither of them could lie their way through that one.

Matt avoided Vanessa – the way he would put it was that he avoided Fisk – for the next day, which he spent wondering how he was going to make it through church if his nose didn’t look like less of warzone on Sunday. The swelling went down overnight, and he could smell and taste again, but he knew there was bruising.

To his surprise, it was Fisk, not Vanessa, who knocked on his door. Fisk was unusually edgy, wring his hands together, and very much trying to pretend like Wednesday hadn’t happen. “I need to ask a – favor.”

Matt cocked his head to the side as a response.

“I can’t – be there tonight, for the gallery opening. There’s still too much ... attention,” he said, sputtering a little more than he normally would. “This is her night. I don’t want to be ... a distraction.”

Before he lived with Fisk, Matt would have assumed that Fisk just wanted to stay out of the spotlight to keep suspicion off him. It was his modus operandi. But Matt knew better now, and he knew that, without even reading Fisk’s heartbeat, Fisk was doing this for Vanessa’s benefit, not his. Fisk would have loved to be there. He supported Vanessa in her career and they shared a deep love of fine art, which had birthed their relationship. It was one of the most genuine parts about him (other than him being a raging homicidal maniac at times). And Vanessa never would have told him not to come, so this idea had to be all his.

“What does Vanessa think?” was Matt’s initial response.

“She says I’m ... a little prone to paranoia,” Fisk admitted, “but she didn’t think it was a bad idea.” He added, “You don’t go with her. You’re just ... there.”

“For you?”

Fisk was even more uncomfortable at that idea, which amused Matt, but he did answer. “Sort of. But – for Vanessa. She should have someone to support her.”

“Personally I don’t think Vanessa needs support from either of us,” Matt said. Which was the honest truth.

“I agree.” Fisk had no hesitation in saying that. “But she deserves it.”
Matt couldn’t disagree. “I’ll go.”

“Thank you.” After that, Fisk fled as quickly as possible.

i absolutely adore this fic; seeing that it's updated is the highlight of my day :D
