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!

The time Frank actually did die, he would later be selfishly grateful for it. While neither Karen not Matt were among those who died with him that day, watching the whole damn world get crazed with grief, not to mention a lot of confusion, followed by rage, well, that would’ve been hard. Not to mention that if he understood what happened right, the chances of all three of them surviving wouldn’t have been the best, so if he’d lived, one of them probably would’ve died. They themselves were lucky they both lived.

So some scary things left New York a little fucked up again, but not nearly as damaged as it had been six years back. Then there were reports of aliens landing in Africa, with Karen giving him the quick history of Wakanda, which apparently had been news recently. The three of them had the TV on, watching the news, Karen on the phone, waiting for someone to actually tell the world what the fuck was going on, when Frank felt *wrong,* and then he felt like he was floating apart, and then Karen screamed, and then he looked down to see himself literally crumbling into dust, and then it was over.

In his memory, it was right after that he was suddenly awake and sitting on the couch again. The TV was on again, and Karen was on the phone again, and she dropped it and screamed again when she saw him. Matt came running into the room, followed by the Lieberman kids, who looked a little older than they’d been last time he’d seen them. Then they were all four of them hugging him, Karen shamelessly pressing kisses everywhere her mouth landed, even Matt laying a couple near his ear.

They didn’t stop until Matt’s phone started chirping, “Foggy. Foggy. Foggy.” That caused Matt to wrench himself away with a, “He’s alive too! Oh God, he’s alive too!” His face was already flooded.

“Oh God, yes, and your parents,” Karen was addressing Leo and Zach. “Where were they when they died? Do you remember?”

“They died?” Frank asked. His mind hadn’t caught up yet, and the thought of these two kids losing both their parents, after that year they’d endured without their dad, sounded terrible.

But it was okay, he learned soon enough, because they were alive again now, just like he was, and Nelson was, and half the world and possibly also half the universe was, and since Matt and Karen had apparently taken their kids in while they’d been dead, the five of them soon found themselves on much closer terms. Frank supposed one had to expect changes when the crazy shit happened.

It was some time before either Karen or Matt was willing to let Frank out of their sight for very long. It even resulted in Matt staying home every night for over a week, which Karen was clearly very glad for.

Later, when he was off pestering Nelson instead, she talked a little of just how badly he’d coped. “Neither of us did well,” she said. “Losing both you and Foggy…we felt unmoored.”

“Must have been hard, that he’d died,” said Frank. He’d heard them both, Matt especially, talk about Nelson enough to understand not only how much they both cared for him, but what he symbolized to Matt especially, the good guy that in their view deserved all the good things, and more than they did, and never deserved to be the one to die. Like what Maria and the kids had been to him.

“It was you, too,” Karen replied to that, “and for both of us. If I tried to tell you the number of times Matt picked up something that smelled too much like you in the days afterwards and he had tears in his eyes and then we were both crying all over again…”

That made sense, Frank thought. Matthew Murdock got attached to *everyone.*

He heard a little bit about it from Zach and Leo, too, who had witnessed it. They had apparently been able to figure out he was Daredevil mostly because he’d been so grief-stricken he’d gotten careless. They’d proved able to keep the secret, though they did end up telling their parents, who could also be trusted with it.

“Still,” David said to Frank at one point, “Sarah crumbled in front of me, you know, before I died after her.” Frank supposed that still had to be a hard thing to live with, even IF your wife didn’t stay dead. “And even now, I wonder, are any of us really us? Are we weird doppelgangers created by mysterious universal powers? Are we even here now, or are we having a collective dying dream? It could fuck all of our minds, if we think about it.”

Frank shrugged. “I don’t.”
