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!

"Stay," he says, and with one word he's damned.

"You don't have to approve," he adds, like it excuses what he's done. What he's doing. "You don't have to agree with me. You can argue if you want, you can tell me I'm wrong, you can take the firm in whatever direction you want, but just stay with me."

And Foggy does.

--

They fail again. To be honest, Matt screws up again. High-profile case. Murder. The criminology term is family annihilator.

Matt knows she didn't do it, but "I can hear it in her heart" isn't evidence.

He nearly has a special word with the jury. A bit of careful phrasing in the closing statement and he'd have them. (He's tested to find out what works and what doesn't. People can still refuse his requests and disbelieve his statements, but if he tells them what to do directly, they always do.)

The business is threatening to go under. Matt has a word with the landlord. Nothing extreme, just asking for some time. A no-interest hold on the rent.

He doesn't ask the landlord to give him the place rent-free, even though he could. He's not a thief.

Foggy stays. He is angry, he is worried, but he stays.

-

Crime-fighting gets easier. Too easy, really. All he has to do is creep up, and then yell, "Stop. Put down the weapons. Go to the police and turn yourself in. Confess everything."

Being a lawyer gets incredibly convincing, given the number of defendants claiming coerced confessions. Judges are reluctant to allow mind control defenses without proof.

Rumor has it that a PI in a leather jacket is paying good money for any tips on the whereabouts of the Devil of Hell's Kitchen. Rumor has it she has...special talents.

-

One night a deaf assassin beats Matt bloody before he manages to fight her off.

It is the most satisfied he's felt in weeks.

-

He says "Karen, forgive me" and she does. She hugs him and tells him she loves him and is happy to have him back.

They kiss. Once. And then his conscience catches up with him.

He doesn't dare see her again.

-

"Foggy, it'll be okay."

"How is it going to be okay? Have you seen the bills? If we didn't have a suspiciously patient landlord, we'd be out on the street!"

"Foggy, relax." It's an impulse of Matt's. He's tired of being yelled at. He's tired of Foggy being stressed out. He wants to go back to the old days, when things were good. He wants to have fun.

Besides, he's singled-handedly caused a four percent drop in the city's murder rate. Isn't he entitled to a few slips?

The tension drains out of Foggy like a puppet with the strings cut. He's quiet, passive, waiting for Matt's next command.

Part of Matt wants to make Foggy be fun, make him trust Matt, make him go out drinking and joking like in the old days.

But he feels sick.

-

She's out there, on the street, with her leather jacket. Name of Jones. Knows Hogarth, who tried to hire Foggy away from Matt.

She lifts her head when she sees him. Matt wonders what the expression on her face is.

"You know," he says. "You know what I've done. What I've become."

"I've seen this before. So, are we going to fight now, or what?"

Matt jumps down to street level. "If I told you to walk away and forget you saw me, would that work?"

"I'm immune, I think. I was to the last one."

They fight, briefly. Badly, on Matt's part. He's out of practice, and she is strong.

And he's not sure what he's fighting for anymore.

She gets him on the ground, a choke hold around his neck.

He gasps out two words, "Kill me."

He doesn't learn if she's immune or not, but his head slams into the street and everything goes black.

That's not dark Matt. More like slowly sliding off the slippery slope but trying do hard to stop. Poor ginger fluffy.
