This post is for prompts involving characters from Netflix's Daredevil.

Now that The Defenders prompt post is live, all crossovers between anyone in the four individual shows should go over there. Prompts only including characters that appear in Daredevil should still go here.

Rules:

General
1. YKINMKATO. Play nice. Respect others. If you don't like something, scroll on.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. 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.
5. Prompts focusing on characters from other Netflix Marvel shows or the comics should go on their respective prompt posts, but crossovers with Daredevil can go here.
6. Drop a comment on the mod post if you have any questions or problems.

Prompts
1. All types of prompts are welcome.
2. Use the subject line for the main idea of your prompt (pairing or characters, keywords, kink).
3. Warnings are nice, but not mandatory. Get DW Blocker if there's anything you really don't want to see.
4. 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
1. 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.
2. Announce your fill on either the Completed Fills Post or the WIP Post.
3. Long fills can either be posted over multiple comments, or posted on AO3 and linked back here.
4. Multiple fills are always okay.
5. Fills can be anything! Fic, art and vids are all welcome.

Please post any prompts related to Season 2 of Punisher over on the dedicated Punisher prompt post, and put SPOILERS in the subject line!

Going to the Nelson Family Abode for the weekend was always a therapeutic experience. Anna Nelson couldn’t cook, but always ordered the best baked goods from around the neighborhood and would constantly force them on Matt. Edward Nelson could cook, and seemed to always have some sort of cured meat on hand (which Foggy accounts to his mother’s deep love of ham) Edward was the one who was making the pot pies right now.

As Edward chopped carrots he spoke to Foggy and Matt who sat across the counter, “You two should help me chop onions and garlic. I’ll need a whole head of garlic and a two onions.”

“Don’t you think that’s a little too much dad?” Foggy asked. “I mean we all know Matt has a sensitive pallet.”

“Pish posh, garlic and onions are the only things keeping this family afloat. Onion is needed for pot pies, and garlic adds that extra Nelson spirit,” Edward shook his head and leveled a serious look at Foggy. “I thought I raised you better, Franklin.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Foggy waved his hand. “Now he’s bringing out the formal names, you see this Matt?”

“You know I don’t,” Matt smirked. He was still down, and hadn’t been talking much (though he wasn’t much the talker anyway at gatherings like this.) He found himself zoning out, and listening in on a conversation between Anna and Foggy’s sister Candace. They were debating over whether Ronald Reagan was a good president. Candace was insistent that Reagan was not, Anna was insistent that he was. Noticing he hadn’t spoke in a while, he drew his attention back to the convo at hand. “And isn’t it a little irresponsible to let me use a knife?”

Edward hummed thoughtfully, “You make an interesting point counselor.”

“I could help peel potatoes, I swear I won’t slice my finger off,” Matt knew he could most likely slice up the onions, garlic, and potatoes faster than it would take for the water to boil…But there was no reason for him to let that on.

“On your honor?”

“On my honor.”

At that moment the heated discussion between Candace and Anna became a heated argument, “MOM! THE AIDS EPIDEMIC, MOM! God, I can’t believe what I’m hearing.” “Candy! Don’t scream at me!”

“I guess I’ll go pull those two apart,” Matt could hear Foggy roll his eyes. “Really though, they need to stop talking about U.S. Presidents it’s getting old."

Edward laughed while Foggy walked away. He took something heavy and dropped it on the counter, then slid something to Matt, “Go ahead and peel seven of these, I don’t mind if the peels are on the floor, we’ll be cleaning up later anyway. Peeler is to your right, bag of potatoes is directly to your left.”

Matt nodded and rolled up his sleeves. He didn’t notice when Edward paused in cooking, and took a potato and started peeling.

The silence got uncomfortable.

“Matt…” Edward cleared his throat. “Who did that to you?”

Matt frowned and tilted his head, “Did what?”

“You’ve got some pretty bad bruises around your wrists, kid.”

Matt could nearly kick himself. He had completely forgotten about those, Sam had gotten…overly enthusiastic, gripped his wrists a bit too hard. Matt couldn’t tell how deep they were, or how bad they looked, but judging on Edward’s concerned tone and higher heart rate it couldn’t be good.

“Just something stupid,” Matt tried to explain away.

“Lately…well, Foggy told me you haven’t been acting the same recently,” Edward rinsed his hands off in the sink. “So what’s been going on? Because I’m no idiot, and those bruises are in the shape of hands,” He leaned forward on the counter toward Matt.

“I-” Matt wanted to tell him. But suddenly a deep sense of shame came over him, how could he possible explain this? To Foggy’s DAD no less? “That’s not important.”

“Not important?” Edward’s tone was soft, concerned. Unlike Foggy who was very insistent, and got very frustrated every time Matt refused to talk. “Son,” The word made Matt flinch and so Edward spoke again. “Matt, it is definitely important. It’s important to me, because if someone is hurting you, I’d like it to stop.”

“Why do you care?” Matt suddenly asked. “It’s not as if you’ve known me for very long, I’m only friends with your son. What’s the point?”

Edward sighed, “I care because you’re like a son to me. It doesn’t matter how long I’ve known you, you’ve made a heavy impact on our lives. You’re caring, understanding, well-spoken, intelligent and seek justice like no one I’ve ever seen before. Do you get it now?”

Matt nodded, despite himself.

“So why don’t you tell me what happened?” Edward said softly.

“There’s a, a professor,” Matt said. “He’s been helping me out a lot, he said, I was like a son to him too,” Edward’s heart-rate skyrocketed but he said nothing. “Everything was fine for a while, he would give me life advice but then he…he started asking for something back.”

Edward didn’t speak, he waited until Matt regained his composure.

“He wanted…” Matt grimaced. “Sexual favors in return.”

It was then that Edward spoke again, “Did he do this without your consent?”

“I didn’t say no,” Matt explained. “Not the first time.”

“You should know,” Edward took some slow breaths. “That not saying no isn’t a yes. That’s not…that’s not what good people do. In fact, that’s what very, very sick and disgusting people do.”

“He’s helping me.”

“You might think he is, God dammit you’re just a KID!” The sounds from the other room grew quiet, and so Edward calmed down. “I’m sorry…I’m not angry at you, not at all. I’m just, I am very angry at the man who did this to you. What’s his name?”

“I don’t want to press charges,” Matt insisted.

“You might not want to, but there’s no telling how many other people he’s done this to. Can I touch your hand?” Matt paused for a moment but nodded. Edward gripped it softly, “That’s not what professors do. That’s not how they should act, much less one who tried to be a father-figure. What would you say if an actual father was doing this to his son?”

“I would,” Matt’s voice got softer. “I would tell him that it was wrong, illegal. That the father deserved to be put away.”

“This man isn’t a father. This man is a predator. You need to tell me his name.”

“Samuel Burke.”

Op here. This chapter was wonderful. I love the family atmosphere you created in the Nelson house and how Foggy's dad is clearly furious at the guy but trying to stay calm in front of Matt.

Having Mr. Nelson be the one to find out is an unexpected twist! And I'm so glad that he's able to tell Matt what a father figure should be like.
