netflix’s defenders high school AU is coming so soon you guys 👁️ it’s more or less a breakdown of every possible dynamic / pairing in a high school setting but if enough people like it i’d be so game to specifically write fics while referencing lore.

i’ll say right now that matt foggy and karen DID become friends in a way similar to how they did in daredevil .. just without the dead man. i’ll also say underrated friendships like colleen and claire + colleen and jess have a lot of coverage because this fandom doesn’t talk about them enough. ironwing is also very canon ANDNANDAND kastle slowburn + frank and amy do in fact meet and maintain a similar bond:)

okay that’s all i’ll say for now. if you have any requests for duos you’d maybe wanna see featured, requests are so open.

MAD AT GOD - MATT MURDOCK

season 2b - maybe my soulmate died

tags: @dusstory @americaarse @mayasaurus--rex @astrobees @johnmurphys-sass @ironprincessstranger // five // epilogue //masterlist

Pairing: Matt Murdock x Reader

Word Count: 4,825

Summary: It all come crashing down in the final face off against Elektra and the Hand. Seven go in, Six come out. But part of her gets buried too, so maybe five and a half.

“I don’t want any part of this.” Luke shook his head and paced the small waiting area. “I don’t care how dangerous you say these people are.”

“Great.” You groaned. “Another moral ground.”

“Moral high- Because I don’t want to blow up a building!”

“An empty building! And they’re hardly even people anymore!”

“Isn’t that your friend with the swords?”

You scoffed. “My friend died in front of me months ago. That’s only the Black Sky and she won’t hesitate again when it comes to killing us!”

“So that makes this okay?”

“That makes it my problem! You don’t have to even touch the explosives but you’re not stopping this.”

“You don’t get it, Luke.” Colleen tried.

“Oh, I get it.” He nodded but you rolled your eyes. “The Hand was taking kids out of Harlem and using them for clean up.”

“And weren’t they killing those kids too?” You pressed. “You really wanna let them get away with that?”

“You’re just looking for a reason, aren’t you?” Jessica commented.

“I’m just the only one willing to do what it takes, apparently. Everyone else needs a ‘good enough’ reason.”

“Your bloody hand says otherwise.”

“Hey.. That’s enough.” Matt said gently and moved you to stand on his other side by Claire. You wiped the bloody hand against your pant leg. “We’re here for Danny, but the girls are right. It won’t end there. The Hand will keep coming after us. This is our chance to shut them down for good.”

“Gao already has it in for us.” You gestured between you and Matt. “I’ve made a new enemy out of Murakami but he’s not leaving this building unless it’s in a bag so I’m not worried about that, and don’t any of you try to stop that. The other guy-“

“Bakuto.” Colleen explained. “My first master.”

You turned to her and watched as her face fell, an almost shameful feeling filling her.

“Sounds like that’s your chapter to close, then.” You offered and she gave you a small, determined nod.

“I get that you three have history with them.” Luke tried and you groaned.

“So does she.” Matt gestured to Jessica. “So does she.” He gestured to Claire. “So do you and that kid from Harlem.”

“Detonating a bomb here won’t fix what happened to him!”

“But it’ll keep it from happening to anyone else! It can keep anyone else from being put in danger.”

“I just…” He sighed. “I can’t go along with this.”

“Then don’t.” You shrugged. “But if you stay here, don’t get in the way.”

“For the record, everything that’s been said in the past two minutes is absolutely insane.” Claire said calmly and you gave a small nod in agreement. Ninjas, resurrections, and imploding buildings isn’t a normal day in New York for everyone.

“Thank you!” Luke nodded.

“But… We all know what the Hand is capable of.” She continued. “We’ve all been affected and they just keep coming back. When they do, it’s not just crime. It’s horror movie murder-y shit.”

“If we don’t do this, it’s gonna get worse.” Matt continued.

“It’s one empty building and some empty bodies versus an entire city full of innocent people. What is still the debate here?” You asked in annoyance.

“This is not how I fix things.” Luke shook his head.

“Можем ли мы уже сделать это?” You grumbled and leaned against the nearest wall, bouncing your head off the structure behind until Matt came to your side and put his hand between your head and the wall. (Can we just get this done already?)

“These people came after our friends. They’re showing no signs of stopping” Jessica added.

“Jess!”

“You know I’ve wanted nothing to do with this from the beginning. The architect’s brains are still in my apartment. I haven’t changed my clothes. Let’s just get this shit over with.”

Still, Luke gave her an apprehensive expression. You grew tired of the back and forth so you took it into your own hands. You twisted your wrist at your side and unwound his conviction against the plan. Mixing that with what Jessica said next, Luke finally agreed so long as no one innocent got hurt.

You looked through the bag as Matt and Colleen talked about where to plant them.

“Interesting..” You spoke quietly with furrowed brows. You knew instantly that it wouldn’t bode well for your ragtag group.

“Y/N?” Matt asked.

“There’s no remote detonator. Meaning once you start it, there’s only a few minutes to get clear, depending on the timer.”

“You sure?” Claire asked as she reached for the timer.

“Yeah, I’ve been around my fair share of explosives.”

“So what you’re saying is, once someone activates the charge…” Colleen trailed off as her mind worked.

“No going back.” You nodded.

“You two put them in place.” Matt pointed to Colleen and Claire. “Once we’re out, hit the charge, we get out of here.”

“No, I’m going down with you.” Colleen insisted and you groaned. “Last time I stayed behind, Danny got drugged and kidnapped.”

“To be fair, you wouldn’t have been able to stop them either.” You shrugged and Matt elbowed you slightly.

“Colleen, the four of them have certain abilities.” Claire tried. “And as your friend, if I’m going to do this, I’m gonna need your help a lot more than they do.”

“Promise me you won’t fail him again.” She turned to Matt.

“Всегда так драматично.” You mumbled to yourself as Luke answered her and the sirens approached outside. (Always so dramatic.)

You were patting the pouches of your belt for the communications case but Matt pulled you away before you could find it. You tapped your implant and tuned in to the cops’ radios, relaying the various information you heard. Calling for the bomb squad. Evacuation orders. Call for all available units.

“Something mechanical behind it.” Matt explained and backed away from the wall.

“What do you mean?” Jessica asked.

Luke broke open the wall and exposed the elevator, along with the hole going down hundreds of feet.

“The more I think about it, the less I like our odds.” Luke commented as he peered down the hole.

“Do like me. Don’t think about it.” Matt offered and you chuckled beside him.

“Matt, you don’t think about a lot of things.” You joked and he grinned.

“If you told me a week ago that I’d be here with you three, about to blow up a building and fight ninjas to save New York…” Jessica thought out loud.

“For whatever it’s worth, I’m glad you’re here.” Matt offered.

“What?” She countered and her expression made you laugh.

“Well the circumstances could be better. I’m just saying, y’know, I’m glad we found each other.”

“I’m not hugging you.” Luke said and Matt chuckled slightly.

You wrapped your arm around Matt and he tucked you closer into his side.

“You guys get on my nerves but I do appreciate you guys sticking this thing out and being here.” You said honestly. “Thank you.”

“Yeah, well..” Jessica shrugged, though you could feel the subtle softness in the gesture. “You guys ready?”

“No.” Luke shook his head.

“No.” Matt sighed.

“Might as well.” You shrugged.

You and Jessica moved to the elevator first, Luke and Matt close behind. It was a tense, relatively quiet ride down. You rested your forehead against Matt’s shoulder and toyed with his fingers. He turned his head and put a reassuring kiss to the top of your head.

“You alright, Sweetheart?” He asked softly.

“Yeah, I’ll just tune it all out when we get a little closer.” You shrugged and he made a small upset sound. “What?”

“You know I worry about you.”

“How do you think I feel? Your first love is back.”

“Y/N..” His other hand went under your chin and lifted your eyes.

“No, I know.” You nodded. “I’m just… I don’t know. I have a feeling that not all four of us are coming back up this elevator and.. I can’t lose you, Matty. I just can’t.”

“You trust me?”

“With my life.” You didn’t hesitate to answer and he smiled proudly. “You know that.”

“Then believe me when I tell you it’s all gonna be alright. Okay? Nothing’s gonna happen.”

“Yeah, okay.”

“I love you.” He said softly.

“I love you, too.”

“Hey.” Luke said when his quiet conversation with Jessica died out. “Anyone waiting for us?”

“Yeah, about thirty of them.” Matt answered. You tapped your mask and looked down, seeing small dots pop up across your lenses. “All of ‘em armed, including two of the ones we fought in the garage.”

“Looks like Gao and… Murakami.” You added. “He’s mine. I don’t care who goes after her.”

“What about the ex-girlfriend?” Jessica gave Matt a pointed look.

“Yeah.” He nodded but gripped your hand.

“This is gonna be a lot worse than what we’ve gone against so far.” You explained, hoping to redirect the conversation away from Elektra.

“So how do we handle it?” Jessica asked.

“I got an idea.” Luke tried. “But you’re not gonna like it.”

“Whatever you guys do, I’m handling it my way.” You said honestly, shaking the Bite on your free hand. “Whether you agree with it or not, I’m not pulling punches. I will leave a pile of bodies if I have to.”

“Dial it down, Tiff.” Jessica rolled her eyes. “Just put the homicidal tendencies on the back burner for a second.”

You made a face to mock her but listened as Luke explained his plan. He wanted Jessica to be the bait, to draw their attention and let him and Matt gain the element of surprise. But you countered that you would be of more interest. After a brief argument, they agreed.

So when the elevator hit the bottom, you stood in it alone. Against the Hand. Against whatever claimed the body of Elektra Natchios.

You pushed open the elevator gates and folded your hands neatly behind your back, allowing your fingers to toy with the handle of your knife.

“Hello, Elektra. Nice to see you again.” You smiled slightly. “This is a bit more than I expected but you always got everything you wanted. Didn’t you?”

She didn’t answer but gave you a small smirk.

“If only you could’ve had your precious Matthew…”

You felt a spark of rage in her chest.

“Unfortunately, him and I had a bit of a.. disagreement about what to do in regards to-“ You gestured vaguely to the hole. “-all of this. So I had to get him out of my way… A shame I had to kill him. He was pretty cute and incredible in bed.. I could see why you loved him. But don’t worry.. He died quickly..”

She took a step closer so you spoke quickly.

“I didn’t come to fight you, Elektra. And I didn’t come to try and kill you either. Though I am willing, if it comes down to it…”

Your eyes scanned the group until you found Murakami. Your fingers closed around the handle of your blade and you yanked it out discreetly.

“But I will admit, I did come down here with very specific purpose.”

She lifted her chin and gave you a slight raise of her brow. You grinned wickedly before flinging your knife through the air and it landed with a wet thump into the center of the man’s throat. As soon as you had pulled your arm back, the rest of your group came into the fight. You all moved through the crowd, throwing them aside or knocking them down until you were able to meet with Danny.

After a very brief recap from both sides, you faced the remaining members of the Hand. The fighting ensued quickly and you kept your word to not pull your punches.

A woman had you pinned against the wall and aimed a viscous punch for your head. Instead, you flicked the knife at your wrist and jammed it into her throat. The bullets came from around the corner quickly so you dropped to your knee.

You pulled your gun and leaned around the rock pillar you were behind, firing a quick shot into either gunman’s forehead. You were moving to stand when Elektra’s foot collided with your chest. You were thrown backwards, tumbling until you hit your knees and you finished in a slide. You growled slightly and woke both Bites before you charged at her.

You two exchanged blow after blow, some blocked and some connecting, but neither of you let up. You made attempts with the knife at your wrist, but she smacked most of the shots away. Only a few knicked her, across the arm or one that clipped her chin. It wasn’t until the sudden beeping in your implant caught your attention was she able to land anything worthwhile against you.

The kick floored you but gave Luke a chance to jump in. You used your mask to find the source and you were shown a timer ticking down.

“Oh shit.” You mumbled before glancing around the tunnels. You found your dropped gun at your side so you tucked it back in its place. “Matt!”

“Y/N?” He called in return, pushing past everything to get to your side.

“You hear that?”

“Yeah.. Everyone needs to go. Now.”

He helped you to your feet and you turned to see Elektra stuck in a match with Luke. You moved over quickly, using Luke as footing to jump from after he knocked her into a short spin so she faced away from you. You moved in a fluid motion to connect the wires between your wrists as you hooked one leg over her shoulders and jammed the other against her spine. You leaned forward enough to get the wire across her throat before you dropped to land on your feet. You yanked her back and twisted so she landed on her face. You knelt on her back and jammed both Bites against her skin. She cried out and fell limp so you yanked your wire apart and hurried back to the group.

“You guys need to get to the surface.” Matt said quickly.

“You guys?” You clarified and stopped in front of him, standing firm despite him pushing you toward the elevator.

“What about you?” Danny asked.

“Someone has to make sure-“

“But why does it have to be you?” You cut in quickly and you felt your eyes begin to water as you realized what he meant. “Matt, you promised.”

“I know.” He said gently, his hands coming to their well-known position on either side of your face. “I know but-“

“No. We said no one innocent was gonna die. If anyone should stay, it should be me.”

“No, Y/N.”

“It’s my fault this happened to her anyway. It’s only fitting it’d be me.”

“I’m not letting you die because of this.”

“Neither am I… Please forgive me.”

“What?”

You put your hands behind his shoulders and pulled him down so you could slam your knee up into his stomach. Matt grabbed one of your arms and kicked your knee out from under you so you spun to get behind him. You hooked your arm under his leg with fingers hooked around the holster for his clubs and yanked him to his back. You kept you two tumbling until you could lock him into an arm bar. You charged one of your Bites to a bright blue and went to slam it against him.

But as your arm was coming down, he rolled into you and forced your ankles apart. His arm twisted in your hold so his hand could grip your throat before he yanked you to your feet and shoved you towards the group, staying in place to ensure you made it to the elevator. You felt a pair of hands on your arms but you called a wave of hot anger to roll across your skin and the hands instantly disappeared just as Matt turned away from you.

You ran at Matt again and moved into your usual flip. Matt side-stepped you and placed hands around your waist to guide you through it. As you were coming up, you hooked an arm around his throat with the intent of throwing him into someone’s arms at the elevator. You felt his hands on your upper arm as he took control of his momentum. Once his feet hit the ground, he shifted to be in front of you. He fell back and placed a foot against your stomach. As you two went down, he pushed with his leg and sent you into a flip over him.

Your back hit the rock surface hard and you coughed as the air escaped your lungs and your ribs screamed at you.

“Take her with you guys… Now.” Matt said and you felt someone’s hands under your arms to haul you away.

“No.” You argued and shifted aggressively in their grip. “No, let me go!”

You lifted your wrist and shot your wire at Matt’s ankles. It wrapped around and you yanked to pull him to the floor. You reached back and fired your other Bite against Jessica and she dropped her hold with a loud and annoyed exclamation. You hurried back to Matt, ditching the wire as you got closer, and as you were reaching him, he spun to his back and slammed both feet into your chest which threw you to the floor.

“Goddammit Matt!” You cried as you climbed to your feet and yanked your mask to sit around your throat. Looking over, he threw his helmet to the side and scowled in your direction. “We don’t have time for this!”

“You’re right. We don’t.” He agreed. “You need to go, Y/N.”

“I’m not leaving you, not again.”

He sighed loudly and came to stand in front of you. One hand landed on your waist while the other went behind your neck. You hissed at the familiar pain in your ribs as your chests collided but the sound was muffled by his lips hitting yours. You felt everything with that kiss. Every ounce of love, devotion, regret. Almost enough to buckle your knees.

You felt his fingers feeling around your belt but before you could voice the question, he pressed the small disc against your neck and forced it with his thumb. You yelled loudly and staggered back as the electricity flooded through your body, right into Jessica’s expectant arms.

“We need to go!” Jessica urged as she practically threw you onto the elevator.

“No!” You cried out, the single syllable tearing through your throat. She slammed the gates shut just before you reached them. You moved to jump over it, knowing the short landing would be fine since the elevators had hardly started the climb, but Luke grabbed you and held you in place. “I can’t leave him! I can’t- Matt! Matt, don’t do this!”

You thrashed and kicked, flicking out your blade and slamming it down. Firing both Bites and letting your skin freeze with your sadness, cold enough that you could see the beads of sweat hanging to the end of your hair turn to little icicles. But nothing was enough. Luke wouldn’t let go.

“Let me go!” You cried out loudly and twisted aggressively in his grip.

“Я люблю тебя, Y/N. Безоговорочно. Hold on to that.” You heard his voice through your implant. “I’m so sorry.” (I love you. Unconditionally.)

“No!”

You had never felt that type of sadness before, that type of loneliness. It crashed into you like a train, overtook you like a wave against the shore. As the elevator began to climb, you felt everything else in your body sink. Every inch of your body felt cold, your vision coated with a cruel and unforgiving blue as your heart grew heavy in your chest.

Matt was going to die in that hole. You were going to be alone.

As the remaining Hand members began climbing the elevator shaft, you fixed your mask and pulled a blade to take brutal shots in an attempt to replace the cold with something - anything - else. You sliced their throats, carved their chests, buried your knife so deep it came out the other side and you were wrist deep in their bodies. You pierced skulls and plucked eyeballs from their sockets. You didn’t care about the blood you spilled, the lives you took.

The Hand took another person you loved. And you wouldn’t be able to get this one back.

Eventually, after having to climb the rest of the way, your group made it to the ground floor. You were met with a squad of officers with guns pointed at you all. You swiped your arm and watched their eyes cloud with yellow before running out of the building in a panic. You felt Jessica’s hand on your arm the whole way, ensuring to drag you all the way to the ambulance.

You shifted anxiously between your feet, refusing to believe what you had just seen. Matt must’ve found another way out. He had to have known another way. There was no way he would just die.

“Maybe we should check the perimeter.” You said quickly, denial coursing through you.

“Y/N..” Colleen tried softly, like you were an injured wild animal that could snap at any time.

“There had to be another way out. He wouldn’t- I know he- He can’t-“

You turned as the explosions began going off. You watched the bursts of heat and destruction as the building began to collapse on itself. As the building fell, you went down to your knees, as if there was a string from your chest to the base of the building and it dragged you down as it went and the realization settled heavily on your shoulders. You clutched your empty, bloodied hands to your chest as the tears fogged your mask. You screamed in agony, feeling as if your own heart was being ripped from your chest by a pair of ice cold hands and you couldn’t stop it. You folded over on yourself, having no strength to keep yourself up as you heard the shattering of windows and the crunch of breaking concrete.

Я люблю тебя., Y/N. Безоговорочно. Hold on to that. I’m so sorry.

“He had no intention of making it out alive.” Danny said, almost angrily.

You pushed yourself to your feet and shoved your mask out of the way enough to wipe your eyes as you faced him as that blistering cold pain shifted to answering anger at the faux display of sentiment. He offered you a sympathetic look but you reached back and slammed a freezing fist across his face that made him stumble backwards into Colleen’s arms.

“I should’ve let Stick kill you.” You sneered, rage burning through you. “At least then, he’d probably still be alive.”

You wanted to scream his name, but even in death, you would keep his secret.

“He gave his life for all of us, not just me.” Danny tried.

“If you died, then you wouldn’t have opened that wall, which means that we don’t end up in that hole. Meaning Daredevil doesn’t trade his life for yours!”

“Don’t blame me because you couldn’t beat him.”

“At least I tried! At least I wasn’t a coward! I was willing to die down there, but were any of you?” You looked around the group and found them all averting your eyes. “All of you chose to run! Why? Because it wasn’t your fight? None of you tried to stop him.” You said shakily, the blue of your vision mixing with red. Your insides felt cold but your skin burned, sweating under the material of your suit. “None of you cared! You’re all selfish! It should’ve been any of us. Any of us, but him!”

“Hey..” Claire said softly, coming to your side and wrapping her arms around you despite you trying to jerk away.

“No.” You mumbled and pushed her hands away. “No. Don’t- No, don’t touch me. Don’t touch me.”

She kept trying until you finally gave in and let her catch you in her arms, pinning yours to your side.

“He’s gone.” You cried quietly into her shoulder. “He’s gone. He’s- He’s- He’s-“ You hiccuped between words as your brain couldn’t manage to say that sentence again.

Matt Murdock was dead.

“I know.. I know.” She said softly.

You were all taken back to the precinct but you felt absolutely gutted. You were hollow, empty without the warmth that was Matt Murdock.

You thought you had been mad before. When you had been desperate, scared and alone, and turned to God for help but He ignored you. When you were lost, hollow and broken but He abandoned you yet again. But now, you weren’t just mad at God. You hated Him. You wanted to tear his precious Kingdom apart and burn his pearly gates to the ground. You wanted to yank Him down to Earth so He could suffer with everyone He allowed to suffer.

As you were all taken to the police station to reconvene with your friends, your mind was a muddled mess of sorrow. Matt Murdock was your light, the only real bright spot in your otherwise gloomy life. Now you had only a flicker, only his memory. But you knew it wouldn’t be enough. You’d succumb to the darkness you were accustomed to and there’d be no one to pull you out. No one to talk you off the ledge you teetered and now you were in free fall.

Everyone else entered the room first, leaving you in the hall for a second to gather yourself. But you couldn’t bring yourself to cross the threshold. Instead, you fell to the floor again and slumped against the wall. You were alone for only a minute before Claire came and knelt in front of you.

“How am I supposed to face them?” You mumbled weakly and hugged your knees to your chest.

“All I can tell you, Y/N, is that you have two friends in there who think they’ve lost you both.” She said softly.

“How do I tell them that- that- that he’s dead? That I couldn’t save him?”

“Right now, they just need to know that someone they care about made it.”

“They’ll blame me… They’d be right, too. That’s what makes it worse.”

“You don’t know that.”

“Well I blame me.” You sighed. “He’s dead because I wasn’t strong enough to stop him. I wasn’t- I wasn’t fast enough. I wasn’t good enough to beat him. First Elektra, now Matt. I’m just- I’m a curse. I’m a curse. Everyone who I care about dies because I- Because this stupid heart of mine gets in the way. People I love die because I’m weak!“

“Listen to me.” She said with a gentle firmness. “I don’t know a lot about all of this and I don’t even want to. But I do know two things. You are not weak. You’ve gone through hell, Y/N, but you still fight for what’s right. That is strength. Okay? Second, I know whatever decision he made, no one was going to talk him down. Not even you. And you know how he loved you. He made that choice to save you.”

“That doesn’t make it any better! Am I supposed to be grateful to have survived this? I should appreciate that he traded his life for mine, right? My life isn’t worth shit compared to his! C’mon, my own parents didn’t even want me.”

“He was a grown man. His decisions and mistakes were his to make. You don’t have to forgive him for this or yourself, if you really feel like that.” She pressed, pulling you to your feet despite your limp posture. “But you don’t get to leave your friends to worry about your well-being when you’re alive. Fall apart after they know you’re alive.”

“Okay..” You nodded with a sniffle. “Okay, you’re right.”

She gave your arm a small pat before heading back into the room your friends were waiting for you in. You felt their grief, their pain was slamming into you with a force that refused to be ignored. Refused to be shut out. They were terrified, waiting to see who would cross the threshold next. They knew, both of them deep down, that there would only be one of you coming back. With every passing second you lingered, you felt their hope diminishing. They were starting to believe that neither of you had made it. An expected way for you to go, you thought. Your vigilante personas dying together. But no. You were still alive.

You willed your feet to move and stepped inside, trying to be presentable to your friends. Karen ran to you when she saw you, likely recognizing the bloodshot in your eyes and the tear streaks down your blood splattered face. You yanked your mask down just before she embraced you. Looking over her shoulder, you saw the understanding cross Foggy’s face. He stood frozen, only for a second as the loss of his friend hit him, before crashing into you as well.

“I’m sorry… I couldn’t-“ You cried quietly and everything inside of you broke as you confessed. Only the embrace of your friends kept you from falling to your knees. “I’m so sorry… I couldn’t save him.”

You shifted on your feet as you stood against the back of Karen’s couch in her living room anxiously waiting for Foggy to finish handing out the rest of the Secret Santa gifts. Foggy and Karen were hosting this year’s Christmas party and had decided on having a Secret Santa event for everyone at the party. You smiled as you saw Luke Cage nudge Danny Rand as Foggy handed him a pretty sparkle wrapped gift.

Colleen came walking over to your side and you smiled at her fondly as she snuggled into your side with a bright happy smile. You wrapped an arm around body and tugged her close as you watched Karen hand Foggy a red plaid wrapped gift. You instantly tensed when you saw the gift, it was yours to Matt and you were nervous to see if he liked it. Ever since he had told you months ago that it was so hard for him to find old fairy tales written in braille you had made it your mission to find him one for his Christmas gift. And when you had pulled his name out of the hat for Secret Santa you were ecstatic for it. You had managed to find Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin in braille for him and were going to be giving him both for Christmas, one for Secret Santa and the other as his normal Christmas gift.

“You okay?” Colleen asks softly as she looks over at you. You nod your head quickly as you quietly watch Matt accept the gift from Foggy.

”Yeah, yeah. Just a little nervous for my Secret Santa gift. Don’t know if I went too overboard.” You reassure her softly.

Matt frowns as he hears your soft admission to Colleen and wonders who you got for Secret Santa to be so nervous about their reaction to the gift you got them. He tilts his head to the side and hears you slowly let out your breath and can feel you begin to relax in your spot next to Colleen. Secret Santa was a big deal to you and Matt was very curious as to why.

Ever since you had pulled the name out of the hat you had immersed yourself in being secretive about not only who you got but also what gift you had bought. No matter how hard he had tried to subtly interrogate you he hadn’t been able to find out anything about your Secret Santa, and Matt had been desperate to find out more. He was worried that the person you had gotten for Secret Santa was someone that you were interested in or held dear to you, and that fact had made his head spin with insecurity.

You had been introduced to the group by Colleen and Danny about a year ago and Matt had instantly been smitten with you. You were a sarcastic, classically trained Japanese martial artist under Colleen’s tutelage, and you were able to get along with everyone in the defenders group. Not only were you brave but you were also calculating and quiet. While Jessica was loud and in your face, you were on the quieter side and more cunning than anyone else. It was a refreshing change from everyone else and Matt had gravitated to your side easily.

And you had given him a run for his money the moment you met. Like with everyone else you were quiet around him at first but then you relaxed and became more outgoing and sarcastic. You even called him on his missteps whenever the two of you went out in the field together. Those were the moments Matt lived for, especially the last time you two had done an intel sweep at a party. You had been dressed in a gorgeous sequined dress that fit you like a second skin and had clung to his arm playing up the insipid date role easily. But when you would feed him the intel that you heard by whispering in his ear it made him shiver with repressed need.

“Hey Murdock! Are you gonna open it or just daydream about your girl?!” called out Foggy suddenly snapping Matt back to the present as everyone chuckled at his outcry. Matt felt the blush creep across his face and Luke’s deep chuckle filled his ears.

“Leave the poor man alone Foggy. Can’t seem to catch a break with the ladies lately.” Luke teased, causing everyone to laugh again as Matt was reminded of the woman from the bodega this morning who had tried to eagerly catch his attention. Matt thanked his lucky stars that you hadn’t accompanied him and Luke to pick up breakfast for everyone otherwise you would’ve seen the cringe worthy display the woman had put on and the way Matt had done his best to make it look like he was clueless.

Just then he felt the arm of his chair dip and the smell of your rosemary and mint shampoo filled his nostrils, he turned his face to tilt it up towards you and smiled softly. He could hear your heartbeat speed up a tiny bit before calming once more as you quickly sucked in a sharp breath. Matt loved that he had some sort of affect on you even though he didn’t know if it held any substance within you. He was happy with that knowledge for now. You leaned towards him and he breathed in your comforting scent as he shifted closer to you as well.

“Are you gonna open it Murdock?” you asked him softly and he smirked at you using his last name. His hands slid along the package, feeling the large crinkly bow in the middle of the gift before sliding to the underside of the gift feeling for the edge of the wrapping paper.

“Will you help me?” he asked teasingly and heard your soft chuckle in response.

“We both know you’re more than capable of opening a wrapped gift.” you retorted and he chuckled deeply at your telling words.

“But it’s more fun if you help me.” he said with a cheeky grin directed at you as you scoffed.

“Flirt.” you grumbled at him and he could hear how fast your heart was beating. Your tone of voice and the beat of your heart didn’t match up causing Matt to wonder if you didn’t like him flirting with you. You had never said anything to his little teasing remarks and oftentimes you would respond with the same type of comments. “C’mon open it up Murdock.” you redirected him and he nodded as he easily opened the gift in his lap. “More fun, huh?” you gently teased him but Matt barely heard you as his fingers quickly slid along the braille on the small note card.

Merry Christmas Matt! I hope this adds to your collection. The card was signed with your name in braille and Matt’s heart thudded heavily in his chest when he realized that you had gotten him as secret santa. He moved the card to the side as his fingers felt around the hardcover object and gasped softly as his head snapped up towards you.

“Merry Christmas Murdock.” you said softly and Matt felt a blush surge onto his face. He moved swiftly causing you to squeak as he pulled you into his lap before cupping your face and pressing his lips to your own. Cheers and cat calls rang out in the room as everyone watched Matt kiss you deeply. When he finally pulled away after stealing your breath from you he smirked softly.

“Merry Christmas indeed.” he said softly before ducking his head once more and pressing his lips to yours.

Hi Court! Happy 3k! Can I scan my ticket for Folklore? I’d like to know if you think Frank would date a black woman. I’m very dark skinned, like Lupita Nyong’o black, and I struggle with finding myself attractive because a lot of my friends are more light skinned and they get attention from all kinds of guys. I feel like you know and understand Frank’s character very well, so I’m curious to know your thoughts.

Also I want to thank you for being so inclusive in your writing. You’re so descriptive, but in a way that doesn’t pull me out of the story because you mentioned a specific trait that I as a black woman don’t have. You’re so talented, and you deserve every bit of 3k and more! 💖

my darling sweet nonnie, do not let a man's preference dictate how you feel about yourself. I bet that you are absolutely stunning, and I think lupita is one of the most gorgeous women in the world and has such a beautiful skin tone

i'm very happy you find my work inclusive. I want everyone to be able to insert themselves into the story and feel fully immersed, bc I write selfishly for myself sometimes, but a majority of the time I write for y'all. I want everyone to feel included 🖤

I absolutely think frankie would date a black woman and i'm gonna ramble about this under the cut bc I have many feelings about it

I do find it a bit odd that we didn't see frank with a poc bc pretty much all of the other netflix shows have characters in interracial relationships

matt had claire and elektra

jess had luke

billy had dinah

danny had colleen

trish had malcolm

but yet all 3 of frank's love interest were all white women (maria, karen, beth). [i'd count curtis if they weren't so sibling coded] bc it's so prevalent in the other shows, i'd like to believe this was some kind of oversight in the casting department and not intentional

I feel like frank values personality over looks. now he definitely notices when someone is attractive, but I think his attraction to someone is based on whether or not he feels a compatibility. I mean, the man literally has chemistry and sexual tension with everyone

in conclusion, yes, he totally would. and now that he's coming back, and it's still not looking good for karen returning (which means no kastle which lowkey makes me sad), i'd really like to see some more diversity in his love interests

i'll be opening my requests back up once I finish this celebration so if you'd like a frank fic x black reader fic just for you, let me know :)

thank you again, my darling!

🌟🌟🌟DEALER’S CHOICE ROUND TWO

Hi sorry this took so long to get to I was finishing up my chronicle of Danny and Colleen's fucked spring break.

This is actually mostly some notes I wanted to make that I couldn't explain out right but that I think are funny and that I want people to know:

“Guilty. Jaime Garcia at your service. You gonna turn me in?”

“Señor Suerte himself? I feel like I’m meeting a celebrity.” Merridew waved a hand, running his other hand along the edge of the desk before leaning back in his chair. “Nah. Go ahead and take the art. I couldn’t care less. I have all the treasure I need right here.” He rubbed his thumb on the obsidian crystal, gentle and reverent. “Do you like it? Found it on the black market. These were found in the body of some mutie the cops exterminated. Apparently the guy was a wannabe superhero. Called himself the Living Monolith. The crystals in his body could propagate themselves endlessly. No real human could possibly use it, obviously, but a talented magician like me can tap into the potential. I’m making better use of it than he ever did.”

This is a terrible person.

So I read over an omnibus of Heroes For Hire and it is, frankly, very weird. There's a vibe of...it tries, and sometimes it says something interesting, but it mostly fails. Something interesting stood out to me about Danny that cued me to write a story about him and his multi-racial identities, but here's a quick breakdown of the plot relevant bits of issue #56:

Danny & Luke are hired by Professor Merridew of a local university and an (terribly colored holy shit he was grey) Egyptian dude Ahmet Abdol. There's a showcase of Egyptian artifacts at the museum and they want to hire Luke & Danny to act as security for the museum.

Luke & Danny complain but they do so. Halfway through the night, the museum is attacked by a robber - Senor Suerte, aka Jaime Garcia, and his gang of thieves. Luke & Danny stop them and arrest them, but they escape and it's discovered in the chaos that all of the artifacts were replaced with fakes.

Luke & Danny take a big hit to their credibility and public name, threatened with financially compensating for the stolen objects. For some reason.

Eventually it's revealed that the real thief was Ahmet Abdol, who swindled Professor Merridew into giving him access to the artifacts and who (is secretly? worships? something?) has a connection with the old X-Man enemy the Living Monolith.

Stay tuned for the X-Man team up next issue! (How do they team up? The X-Men were just WALKING BY..?)

As usual with the old HFH comics, the cast of characters itself was diverse. The characters themselves were confusingly half racist. I picked the plot because it was Egyptian themed and easy to write in a vacuum, but the weirdness ticked me off a bit so I decided to fuck around with it.

The weirdly stereotypical Ahmet Abdol is replaced by the earnest and innocuous white Merridew.

Ahmet Abdol is replaced plot wise more-or-less by Layla. Also Egyptian. Less weird about it.

Replace Egyptian artifacts with Wakandan cultural exchanges (less weird, more interesting, wanted to highlight Layla's Wakandan friends just because I really think it's funny and I think people should know what she does all day and also puts her in the plot etc).

Instead of just guarding the place they do investigative work because detectives, baby!

Senor Suerte, the smokescreen thief, the distraction from the true enemy, is...one of Jake's endless pseudonyms lmfaoooooooooooo.

The Living Monolith isn't an evil X-Man weird villain, he's a dead mutant whose corpse was looted by evil assholes.

This wasn't me trying to woke-ify the thing I swear, I just thought it would be really funny & interesting to swap around the characters and roles that they take. A lot of the changes are just because I thought it'd be more interesting plotwise. I had recurring themes of exploitation of marginalized populations, so changing the Living Monolith from being an enemy who attacks mutants to being an exploited mutant was for thematic reasons.

But Senor Suerte's dialogue was a lot of bad Spanish and a curling moustache and everything. Not blatantly offensive, but...yeah. It's the kind of stereotypical and weird thing that I think Jake would love setting up as a fake identity because people like Merridew buy it hook line and sinker. And it immediately sets up how that encounter is going to end - with Jake the bad guy again.

And also Good Luck is what you tell someone going on stage to a theater as a way of giving them BAD LUCK OK GOODNIGHT.

Eight years ago, the world mourned as twenty school buses crashed in New York, killing the children inside. Thirteen kids were pulled from the wreckage and were recruited as part of a top-secret ARGUS project. Identities changed, they were trained to be the best fighters in the world. To be better than their parents.

Review: Iron Fist Epic Colletion 1: The Fury of Iron Fist

Iron Fist 1: The Fury of Iron Fist

70’s Marvel Kung Fu Heroes are 2 for 2

It’s always nice when you go into a book with high expectations and are not disappointed. I was almost certain that I would love Iron Fist 1, since Brubaker and Fraction’s Immortal Iron Fist is one of my favorite modern Marvel runs and the Chris Claremont/John Byrne duo are one of comics’ legendary creative teams. This book was as good as expected.

Roy Thomas created the character and wrote the first issue, but he immediately gave way to Len Wein, Tony Isabella, and Doug Moench, before Chris Claremont became the permanent writer. In spite of the turnover, the beginning of the volume is essentially one long, serialized story. Once Claremont settles in, the book becomes slightly more episodic, which was more typical of Marvel comics in the 70’s. My favorite of the pre-Claremont issues are obviously Marvel Premier #17 and #18 where Iron Fist has to fight his way through the trap-laden Meachum building. I definitely think my love of death-traps comes from watching the Indiana Jones and Home Alone movies so many times as a child.

As good as it was under other writers, the book elevates once Claremont comes on board. Most people in this group are probably very familiar with his specific writing style from his legendary run on Uncanny X-Men, but because this was earlier in his career, he hadn’t yet developed some of the tics that he would become famous for later on (like repeated use of catchphrases). The plotting is also not quite as intricate as UXM; Iron Fist is a fairly straightforward narrative with a main plot that is occasionally interrupted by interludes which set up the next arc. It’s nowhere near as complex as Claremont’s Uncanny, in which he would be planting seeds for stories 5 years down the line while simultaneously spinning 3-4 plots and subplots, but Iron Fist is just as enjoyable.

I really liked how Misty Knight was developed across this volume. Claremont only reveals her background in small pieces, but we constantly see how competent she is, and, if you don’t already know why, it’s quite cool to see her do some really amazing feats. Her relationship with Danny Rand is also really interesting. You’d be forgiven for assuming that Colleen Wing was intended to be Danny’s love interest, but he and Misty have much better chemistry, and, at least in this volume, Misty is much better-developed and more interesting than Colleen Wing.

One minor complaint that I have about The Fury of Iron Fist is that most of the antagonists are forgettable. The Meachums, for example, are never more than your typical rich evil bad guys. Only the Wrecking Crew, on loan from Thor, have any real flair. Sabretooth also makes his debut here, and he does show a lot of potential, but given that he’s a prominent X-Men/Wolverine villain, I assume that he probably doesn’t return to this title.

One high point is that Iron Fist consistently looks great throughout this volume. John Byrne draws the majority of the Claremont issues, and it’s amazing how in sync the two of them were from the beginning. Even before Byrne, several others including a young Larry Hama provide solid contributions.

Something that I tried to be aware of while I read this was whether I’d recommend Master of Kung Fu or Iron Fist to someone. Ultimately, I decided that it wasn’t a fair comparison, because not only are both equally great, but, really, the 70’s Kung Fu trappings are where the similarities between the titles end. Master of Kung Fu has more in common with James Bond, whereas Iron Fist is a more traditional superhero. That said, if you enjoy one title, than there’s a good chance that you’d enjoy the other. Both would be among my most recommended Marvel Comics from the 70’s.
