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!

Author's note. I have this fic penned out and about 3/4 done. THEN my roommate EFFED with my computer and locked it up. I'm not sure how much I lost. I only have this much b/c I had been emailing myself copies. I am FURIOUS at him. He has no boundaries and I am so frustrated at the crap he pulls. And I can't just do a patch fix b/c it was a custom built Linux computer. It's not the first time he's screwed around with my computer and it takes the original guy who built it to fix it. I'm sorry. I hope to have this up soon. I was going to post a section a week till I was 100% done with the fic. Then edit & put it on AO3.
Well, here's hoping.

There are noises inside Red’s apartment. Someone is rummaging around, getting into things. Not frantically. Just more bodies in there then he’s expecting. A soft woman’s voice, a reply. Oh, Karen & Foggy. They must have dropped by.
A quick moment to jimmy the absolutely terrible lock. As many enemies as DD has been making lately, it’d probably be a good idea to do an upgrade. Next time Castle drops by, he’ll install a decent lock & a kick-plate. Maybe two. He seems to remember the apartment door is somewhat wonky as well.
He clomps down the stairs, trying to make enough noise for the two friends so they know it’s him. Either those bat ears or maybe that bloodhound nose of his will have alerted DD to his presence already.
His friendly greeting is met with Karen Page pointing her gun at him while Foggy Nelson has his bat ready.
“What’s this? What are you doing?” Castle is confused. It looks like the two friends have torn the apartment apart. Boxes are stacked everywhere. Books, papers, tapes, canned goods, kitchen utensils, blankets, and clothes are sorted in piles on every available surface.
“Like you don’t know,” Page huffs at him. Dismissive as she goes back to sorting kitchen stuff into boxes.
“You’re not welcome here, anymore,” Foggy points the bat at him. “Now get out.”
“Wait, is Red moving?”
“Really, that’s what you’re going with? I know your head is all Crackerjack boxed up there,” Nelson taps his head with the bat. “But surely you haven’t forgotten the other night so quickly.”
“No, I don’t… Where’s Red?”
Laughter. Page slams down the can in her hand. “Dead. DD is dead because of you.” Voice icy.
“You and your damn war. It got him killed,” Foggy said.
What? No, it couldn’t have. He’d remember. But as he searched the rooms, he could see the dust, the disarray. The emptiness of the place. The bedroom cold and echoing and forgotten. The closets open maws of dark emptiness. The bathroom moldy and damp with decay. The main room slowly leaching away into those boxes.
“I don’t remember. Karen, please, can you tell me what happened? I don’t remember. He can’t be gone?” Castle pleads.
“You killed him. Ruled accidental. Otherwise you’d be rotting in a prison cell somewhere. And I’d happily throw away the key,” Foggy says.
“It’s probably ironic then, that you can’t seem to remember killing him. After all that death, after all those murders, the one person who could see the good in you and you go and kill him. Bang, bang, dead,” Karen finishes up for Foggy.
This can’t be happening. Castle’s head is spinning from the shock. He keeps trying to reach for the memory, anything of what could have transpired between the two vigilantes. But there’s nothing there, nothing for him to hold onto.
“My best friend is dead because of you,” Foggy said. He stormed over to one of the arm chairs that was piled high with blankets. He ripped off the blanket to reveal DD sitting there.
Blood and viscera and teeth and wild eyes and burnt flesh and Jesus Christ, is that a zombie?!?
A zombie wearing DD uniform.
It lurches forwards, pulled tight against the bonds holding it in the chair. Teeth snapping ineffectually in the air.
“DD is dead because of you. Because you couldn’t protect him. Because you couldn’t play by the rules,” Karen Page’s voice is savage as she cuts into him. “And we’re left to pick up the pieces once again!”
“Yeah, you’re no use to us. Just another example of humanities worst,” Foggy said.
Karen picked up her handgun again, aiming it right at Castle. The barrel wide and dark. “DD always said no killing. But he meant humans. Not like you. You left your humanity behind a long time ago.”
“Do it, Karen. I think DD wouldn’t mind us putting this filth down,” Foggy said.
The thing in the chair snarled and snapped at him. Castle watched the three friends… two friends? In horror. Expecting to see the muzzle flash at any time.
“No. I don’t think that I will. He who has lived by the sword should not die by the sword,” Karen misquotes. Instead she switches her gun for a switchblade in her purse. With a snick, it opens, she crosses the room to grab the zombie DD by the back of his restraints. “I think it’s time for DD to get some payback of his own.”
Once the ropes holding him are sliced, the rabid zombie DD lurches across the room at him. In his stunned state, he can only brace a forearm against the thing’s chest, holding back those snapping, bloody teeth. Trying to avoid the claws.
“Have fun, buddy,” Foggy says. Him and Karen grabbing their coats & things to leave. “You deserve it.”
The lock engaging sounds abnormally loud over the snarling thing he’s fighting.
