Defenders-only Discussion Post

This post is for prompts involving everyone in Netflix's The Defenders! Crossovers between anyone in the four individual shows should go here. Prompts only including characters from one show should still go on the relevant show prompt post.

Rules:

General
1. YKINMKATO. Play nice. 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 2017 TV show in some way.
5. 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.

Fills
1. Put [FILL] or something similar in the subject line when posting a 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!

Post Defenders, Luke takes a stroll through Hell's Kitchen every week or so and slowly resolves the dissonance between Matt the reluctant fighter, and Daredevil, through the people and places he encounters.

This is SUCH a Luke thing to do omg ;~;

Oh, man, I love this prompt. (Not volunteering, just fervently hoping someone else will!)

AN: I hope this is what the OP wanted and that Luke sounds like Luke. >> My first time writing for the Defenders, I might continue this over on A03.
----------------------------------------------

It starts with one trip, to Matt's apartment with Jessica (who was the only one to go there with Matt) to get any belongings in order. To decide who would keep the green trunk Jessica gives quick looks every couple of minutes.

Luke isn't sure what he expected, but the apartment is lightly furnished. A couch, coffee table, and some shelves that are bare of the casual nick-knacks people usually collect. The divide between bedroom and living space is more informed than physically there; an open floor plan. He thinks it fits the popular term, no walls or doors to interrupt moving from space to space. Easy to walk through.

Luke can tell that things have been moved before they came here (it's been a week, Midland Circle is still being cleaned up) but it just creates an empty closet and a missing computer. He doesn't doubt who already claimed those things, probably to donate or wrap up a case or something similar. Matt is- was a lawyer. The idea still clashes in Luke's head- Daredevil and Lawyer- but he reconciles it with the information Matt withheld during their short time together against the Hand. Only share what will benefit the group, the client. It still bothers him that Matt had withheld information at all but he's caught Claire watching a few of those overly dramatic courtroom TV shows and tries to understand.

They start a stack by the door: The green trunk, books covered in braille, plates, cups, bowls. Luke thinks there's a surprising amount of glass for a blind man before checking himself with Matt as he got to know him. Labels get peeled up from every surface; more braille he doesn't understand.

It feels like they're moving Matt out of his place, like some kid going off to college or moving out of the house for the first time. It feels wrong and dishonest.

Jessica makes a sharp comment about the soft, slippery sheets but it brings them to Luke's attention. For all the rough edges Matt had shown them, most of his belongings are soft. The singular couch has some give but its fibers feel good under his hands. Rounded edges on the coffee table, the counters. Again, Luke reminds himself that Matt hears neon for cryin' out loud. It makes sense his belongs are- were easy on the senses.

The pile of belongings is condensed but small. For him and Jessica it might only take a single trip. The feeling of wrongness strikes him again, the only things they've gathered here are the essentials for living. Nothing really feels personal except for the sheets and what clothes remained in Matt's drawers. From all the bristling and puffing and withholding Matt did in their company he can't imagine Matt as a man with no connections. It just doesn't sit right with him.

They pack the van Danny provided (more just dropped in their laps like another person does ten bucks worth of groceries) to leave for the storage unit, again, provided by Danny. Just until they figure out what to do with Matt's things. Before getting in the van Luke looks around the block, the dull colors of Hell's Kitchen, and resolves to return.
