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!

PLOT - answer 3 (Vanessa)

[(Anonymous)]

Vanessa

I'm not sure we need to have Vanessa as an event-milestone. In canon it makes sense — she has to be introduced to the audience somehow, and the easiest way to do it is to let us watch her be introduced to Fisk. We don't need that though; our audience already knows Vanessa, so she can just... be there.

That said, we do have options:

• if her arrival changes the lives of our characters significantly, then it makes sense to have Fisk meet her just now.

This is kind of where canon went - Fisk fell in love, and his empire started to fall apart. Or so Leland says. Another function Vanessa had in c. was to just - humanize Fisk. Let him have a life, some screentime beyond being a Bond villain. But neither of those work for us, I don't think.

So, does her arrival change things? I don't think it would re: Fisk/Weasley, not enough for our audience to care. But it might if we get creative, if she's not just an art gallery worker but someone whose presence brings changes whereever they go, like, I don't know, a heiress with her own 100 slaves or something.

Not sure I want to go there, though. I think we should either:

• have Vanessa be there from the start

• have Fisk change a little or do something stupid and James comment that he "met someone" (from there we can trickle Vanessa's presence in more and more if we want)

• turn this mile-stone into Vanessa visiting, Matt meeting her for the first time or some such. Introduce Vanessa to the fic, and maybe to Matt's life, but she was already there in Fisk's.

Oh yes, Vanessa might already be there in the fic!

Unless we want to use her introduce a new character, maybe her personal OC slave? She could have been frequenting Fisk already, but maybe she moves in and brings her slave with her. (No ideas about this yet; I think going forward I'll just write Wilson/Vanessa as an established couple, without having her appearing much, and revisit this idea later in case a new character could shake things up in interesting/useful ways.)
