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!

Yeah, that's another thing to consider — what IS Foggy's place in our story?

(And Marci's, but mostly Foggy's, since, you know, it's Foggy)

I kind of... don't really see much room for him tbh. Beyond just another face in the legal division, that is. Matt already has several complex relationships for us to portray and consider:

Matt + James and the whole mess of it
Matt + Juana, and the possible plotline of Adult Daughter showing up
Matt + Other Menial Tasks Slaves, just a little on the side
Matt + the Meetings, and the whole plotline of whatever shit is going down there, AKA Fisk's crimes
Matt + Deaf Asian Slave Woman
Matt + Karen, a reckless free person, who would love to expose Fisk's crimes and will definitely reach out to Ben quickly and without asking or thinking imo

...and in the middle of all that, there's also Foggy. And Marci. What do we do with them? Ideas?

(It comes to my mind that maybe they will start a Nelson&Stall at some point, either as part of the happy ending or as a plot mile-stone.)

(They can also be evil, that might be interesting.)

Foggy and Marci might have Marci's canon role at the end (ie: steal legal documents with info even Matt can't get. Or maybe hard proof of things Matt knows but has no way to prove), but remain all in all pretty secondary.
They might also, maybe, get in league with Karen at some point. The question here is: would they?
Maybe yes, if Fisk did something they couldn't pretend not to see. Like, Marci stopped joking when señora Cardenas was killed. I think finding out the bombings were Fisk's doing was also part of it.
We probably won't have Fisk doing any of those. But maybe something else, equally big/murdery?

Or they could be evil, but help xD
Having Matt and Foggy be not-friends hurts my heart (*ignores what she had happening to Matt on the very first fill*)

(But yes, maybe they'll go with Nelson&Stahl at the end. En masse freeing of slaves will require legal work!)

Those are all good options :)

I kind of hate the whole "stolen documents" deus ex machina of canon. From what little I understand of legal systems, that is ABSOLUTELY INADMISSABLE TO COURT YOU IDIOTS and also very much not "getting him the legal way". So I would like to avoid that, but it's a possibility.

On the other hand:

HELL YEAH, GETTING IN LEAGUE WITH KAREN!!

This is the opening I've been looking for: Matt might not have room for a yet another dynamic and relationship in our plots, but Karen does, and she also has a relation to Matt. I bet she would get on like a house on fire with Marci. The three of them would make a great team and could start a great friendship. And switching focus to them every now and then could give our readers some breathing room in all the angst and entanglements and backstories and emotions and depressive worldbuilding and angst.

So. Matt and Foggy aren't friends. But Foggy and Marci are friends, and now Foggy and Marci and Karen are friends, and Karen is not-enemies with Matt. Works for me :))

About resolving everything, putting Fisk behind bars and freeing all the slaves: I think what we need is not 'the legal reoute' but 'the whistleblower reoute' (which is decidedly NOT legal, hello to white-collar vigilantism).

I'm not yet sure exactly what our happy ending should look like. Those are tricky when your real villain is The World Structure.

But whistleblower is definitely the way to get there.

(Enter Ben? Huh. Maybe)

Matt and Foggy aren't friends. But Foggy and Marci are friends, and now Foggy and Marci and Karen are friends, and Karen is not-enemies with Matt. Works for me too!
I now can't wait to have Karen&Marci. Karen deserves a female friend.

Whistleblower could absolutely work. Ben could help, maybe. Maybe Karen will do it directly.

We have a loooot of time to refine this part, considering all the foundations yet to be laid.

(The stolen documents in the show were only useful to find out where Leland was keeping Hoffman, I think? They definitely shouldn't have been admissible, I don't think they were? Not sure.)
