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!

I'd say this is perfect!

maybe he has him type audiobooks into braille or something, just to sit him down and not think about it xD (for blind children and puppies, of course) I died xD but typing out audio stuff would actually work pretty well, I think! Maybe not audiobooks but recordings. Recordings of people Wesley spies on for Fisk, even, maybe! (If they trust him with that kind of job, he'll need to be carefully watched, which might explain why Wesley looks after him in particular; menial tasks slaves probably have other intermediate slaves in charge.
That might also help him try to take the fall for Karen (but still, he'd lie badly and James would see right through him).

Wesley wouldn't make a spectacle out of Matt's harasser (that would have too high a chance of other free workers rioting, how dare you punish a person for touching an object?), but he has a lot of other ways to make him vanish. Wouldn't even have to cover it up: he could inscenate the worker's suicide and no one would really believe it, but they couldn't say anything and would (indignantly) learn their lesson. I like that 🤭
(Matt would probably feel very conflicted)

Also yay, the Meetings!

(Maybe he's the only invisible-waiter there, at first. Then Fisk decides he wants another one, thus the deafening of [X].)

Maybe not audiobooks but recordings. Recordings of people Wesley spies on for Fisk, even, maybe!

Oof, good thinking, wow.

I don't think they'd have him do that right away, though. I really think James'd start him on random audiobooks just because he's tired and wants to consider Fisk's latest Impulse Purchase dealt with. xd

Then things start coming together, needs start coming together as Fisk's criminal empire grows, and it's actually Weasley's idea that hey Boss, wouldn't it be neat to have someone that can't be a witness serve at our crime meetings, oh look, what a coincidence, we have a blind slave on staff...

Which would also explain why Matt is the only waiter at first. But with time Fisk's appetite grows. He should have another one. And since his first attendant was blind, the second should be deaf. They would compliment each other. It's not a problem if this one doesn't come ready-made like the blind one did; these things can be remedied easily.

(And I think only after he's already going to meetings and knee-deep in Fisk's crimes James gives him access to spy recordings. Which, btw — can easily make Matt and James co-conspirators. Hmm...)

If they trust him with that kind of job, he'll need to be carefully watched, which might explain why Wesley looks after him in particular; menial tasks slaves probably have other intermediate slaves in charge.

Yeah, I was worried about that. The "chain of command" I mean. This is a good solution, and drives to point just how deep Matt is sinking into it all.

That might also help him try to take the fall for Karen

Yes!! It might. No idea how (yet), but it might xd

Which, btw — can easily make Matt and James co-conspirators.
I guess it would — if slaves can be legally held responsible? Would they be supposed to say no to their owner if the owner orders them to do illegal stuff? 👀

That would be a pretty interesting point to explore.

I like that it'd be James' idea to have Matt wait on the Meetings. Maybe he thinks of that (partly) because as the only slave attending most people expect him to serve them (pour drinks?) during the meetings.

That IS an interesting point to explore. But I was thinking that they can (or already do?) now conspire with each other.

They're a tiny team of two, working with information that nobody else has yet seen, Fisk included. And that information can be used for many different purposes, not just to advance Fisk's goals.

Also, I just realised - if Matt listens to recordings and Weasley reads transcripts, then Matt can, well, engage in some creative editing...

Oh yes!

Matt would have to be careful, though; who's to say that Wesley doesn't check the transcripts against the recordings? I think it would, surely at first, maybe randomly later on. (And what would he do if Matt did indeed get creative, would he punish him?)

Hey, that's a good question. I think I want Weasley to discover an edit now.

Weasley reacted to being threatened with "you're bad at threatening people, get better" so I think Matt would survive :). He wouldn't whip him or anything like that. He could definitely make Matt's life a living hell for a while and maybe he would (without any corporial punishment), but ultimately—

— I think it would push them together in the same way that Karen Incident did. There's something that Matt is trying to achieve, and he's trying to achieve it behind Weasley's back, which irritates Weasley, but ultimately he kinda-sorta helps him do it.

Not that they're always allays though. There are definitely times when James wouldn't help him do it, and times when Matt is working directly against him. This isn't fluff. This is a dangerous game, in which board sides are ambigious and you never quite know where the other player is at the moment.

I don't think they would expect him to serve drinks etc.

They don't respect him, they don't want to accept his authority or place in their circle, but they aren't stupid enough not to see his authority or place in their circle.

He's not there to be a waiter, and they know that. They can only push so far, and they know that too.

They don't expect him to, but I think someone (Vladimir?) would make the occasional comment. Especially if they were annoyed about the matter being discussed.

Wesley would remind them of his place at the table, of course. But it'd be annoying. [Not sure why I'm even bringing this up though — one way or the other, it's not like I'm gonna write Meetings before Matt gets there. So.]

Yeah, comments could come up. But I don't think they would end just because there was another slave present to actually do it.

Also, Weasley wouldn't be that nice. No, he wouldn't remind them of his place at the table. He would remind Vladimir of VLADIMIR'S place at the table (😤😎).

Don't play with the wolf, children...
