Holding pt 2

(Here for pt 1)

Matt Murdock x reader (angst)

Note: I never expected to do a part 2 for this, but I got inspired re-watching the third season. I hope you guys enjoy it ❤️. Also, a bit of a trigger warning for the mention of the death of a pet.

Summary: What if Matt came back after all that happened, what if things could change.

♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡◇♡

"It was a building, an old abandoned storage. It was a horrible incident indeed. Authorities have yet declared the reasons for its collapse, but apparently, some criminal group is-"

Will the tv anchors let go of that new? It's been more than a month

I sigh as I start to bite the head of the pen in my hand, turning the tv off. I look now directly at the blank screen, only being able to see my own reflection. I look exhausted.

I am exhausted.

It's been weeks since Matt Murdock has been declared dead, more than weeks since I've myself collapsed into some sort of numbness.

It was almost months since I last saw him, yet..

You could've prevented this

I shake my head, trying to get the thought out.

The darkness in the room seems almost too engulfing now. My four walls feeling closer and closer now. I close my eyes

You can not take responsibility for everybody..

I remember my mom telling me this the day my first pet died. It was an accident, the poor bird escaping his cage and getting electrocuted by some some disjointed wires from the utility pole.

Not everything is under your control

I remember his little body dead on the asphalt eyes wide open, looking like he could wake up at any time and take his flight..

Suddenly the noise of the keys opening my door make me stand up. I quickly go grab the old baseball bat hidden under the couch and I go stand besides de doorframe.

Breath

When the person enters I immediately go for a hit, only to be surprised as what appears to be a man easily stops it mid-air making me loose my balance and stumble.

"What th-"

Suddenly he grabs me by my waist preventing me from falling on the floor. Its so dark I can barely perceive his face, yet his voice makes my heart suddenly drop.

"Please..this time I can explain (y/n)"

I immediately pull away from his arms as I go quickly grab my bat again and turn on the lights. I feel my hands weaken their grip as I now recognize the man in front of me. It was Matt. it was actually Matt.

Its you

But I keep my defensive position. Its impossible. This cannot be.

"Who the f- are you". I spat, trying not to let my vulnerability take over.

The supposed Matt stays in place, as I can see him twitching a small smile. He retakes his serious tone

"I know.. I know how this must appear from your side but you must believe me.."

I look at his eyes. Those puppy eyes he used to make when I caught him in trouble. For such a strong man he could be quite sensitive indeed. But I cannot forget neither.

"Even if..if this was true..how..how do you want me to trust you..after all that happened"

He looks down, shame now filling his face. He must have remembered the last time we saw each other. Not the best goodbye indeed. He bites his lip

"I know..I.. I didn't come for forgiveness just..I thought...", He turns his head around, probably scanning the room, "That you deserved to know the truth before you heard it from someone else.."

In the depths of myself, I know all I wish to do is to jump to his arms. It was him. He was alive.

"What exactly happened?"

My voice wasn't as cold as before but I still hold an strict tone, wanting to keep my distance.

He nods his head as he takes a long breath.

"You really want to hear the whole story ?"

"Ive got all night"

So thats how for the next hour he tells me what he seems to know about this Hand. The war. Stick and even the two deaths of his ex. It was a lot I admit, but I still listened with attention to each of his words. We both end up sitting face to face on the floor

"So that's how I ended up here", he finally says raising his shoulders.

I could notice something in his tone. Something more lonely that what used to be in there before. Something more bitter too, but I decide not to comment on that.

"So neither Karen or even Foggy know that you're alive and well ?"

He groans a bit. Probably a touchy subject.

"I'd rather leave it like that... they're safer that way"

I sigh. Some things never truly change

"Then why are you here Matt?"

"I told you.. I-"

"Bullshit"

My raise in tone paralyzes the conversation for a moment. Matt seems surprised and stays silent waiting for me to continue

"Sorry..just", I try my best to hold my emotions, "Last time you were in here..you..you left me Matt..you left me..."

"(Y/n).. sweetheart..I'm"

"Don't you dare call me sweetheart Matthew.." Im now standing up giving my most glaring stare at the man in front of me. "Don't you dare use that word"

Not everything is under my control

"I.." , I look at him again, " I had to mourn you twice..twice.."

Now tears are falling from my eyes. I know he can sense them but I don't want him to comfort me. I have to be strong

"I loved you with all my heart"

These last words are merely a mumble.

The noise of the outside is louder, the cars, the streets, the people. The city being so alive. All of what Matt can hear and perceive, his life. His real life. Not here with me, but outside.

He seems unsure what to say next.

"I never wanted to lose you", I've never heard his voice being this fragile "I just wanted to protect you from all the danger I brought upon you.. I don't want to make excuses just.. I got lost in the way"

He tries to come closer to me, putting his hand on my cheek cleaning my tear

"I'll try to make it up... even if it takes me a whole eternity to do so"

I look at him. Will I be able to ever forgive it all ?

I softly take his hand from my face. Holding it with such strength, like if he was about to vanish again. We stay in this silence for a while. It was a lot of feelings for just one night.

But time is still moving as I look at my kitchen's clock.

"Its getting late, I'd guess you have to go"

He nods letting a sad smile slip.

"Yes I guess so"..

He walks to the door, putting his dark glasses and cap on. He gives me a long stare before going. I wonder what he may be thinking

"Goodbye (y/n)"

"Goodbye Matt"

I see him disappear down the hall.

As I get back in, I think again of my souvenir of the poor bird laying on the ground. Maybe I couldn't bring him back to life, but what if he was given a second chance.

I stare at the door.

Maybe things could have ended differently in that case.

i am in the EXACT!! same spot as you with the whole if they wanted to they would. im sittin here trying to be understanding like ohh i know theyre stressed i know theyre goin through it i should reach out first. have to pull myself back by the collar and remind myself they would! if they wanted to! why am i wasting time waiting on them when they are living life just fine without me in it. anyways ive been trying to focus on people who actually do wanna put the effort to be in my life and that there will be future people who will want to too. wishing you the best and peace!!

hiiii my love this has been sitting in the askbox all day cause i wanted to rlly sit down and answer it... finally went to work and did my research project and finished a french assignment so. sitting down for a while. chit chatting. for real though we are in the same space <3 i am a believer in reaching out first! i am! i am perpetually hurt and hurt and hurt when i'm the only one reaching out first but i do believe in it. was talking about this with miffy last night but what rlly stings for me is not getting any response. like they're stressed and they're going through it but they can't take the time to put a little heart react on my "hey i love you i miss you i hope you're doing well" message for Weeks. i think maybe at that point like... in an effort to be nontoxic and reasonable i will say that it's still not someone's fault if they can't get together the effort for that. it's not. but at that point, i don't feel that i can keep spending the effort without seriously draining myself to the point of resenting them or just making myself miserable, and that's where you're so right. you gotta pull away. that's maybe a situation where it's two people who just cannot meet each other's needs and while obviously relationships aren't transactional they do have to be two sided... idk. you might love someone to pieces but if you're not communicating that somehow they're not receiving it. and that's where i reach a point of toxic girlfriend If You Really Loved Me You Would Want Me To Know It.

rambling. anyway absolutely we are in the EXACT same space with pulling ourselves back from things... i spent a lot of my high school years throwing myself wholeheartedly into relationships and putting in tons and tons of emotional labor with absolutely everyone and it had me fucked up but you know what! part of what makes me myself is that i do love being there for people, and i love making people feel safe and heard, and it's part of my love language to go out of my way for someone. so i could've kept doing it and been active listener no. 1 that got all the venting from everyone and doing constant work to make myself a cheery presence online and to be everyone's cheerleader and everyone's older sibling figure and everyone's adoring boyfriend except that with some people who Really counted for me i was getting Nothing back. and it got to a point where it hurt so bad that i pulled myself back entirely for a while and now that i'm starting to really put my Self back into relationships especially online i'm having to do a lot of grabbing my own collar pulling myself back. cause i can tell when i'm putting in effort and effort and effort into a conversation that's just not. warranted. and i know it's going to overextend me and it makes me sad to not put my whole emotional self into relationships with everyone around me but i also know that it won't be good for me? so. trying not to be "i'm always here for you" guy so much and trying not to be "i love you so so so much" guy with people who don't care enough to put the work in for me too in whatever way they do it. and i have people right now who i love SO much who i know love me so much back and i am so happy with that. and thinking about past relationships that i've pulled myself away from makes me a little sad just to know that i had to take myself out of that... but like. you know. you're with me. kissing you we will have people who care enough to Want to and Will. peace and the best to you my love :)

ATHLETICS TRACKING - 6/7/23

been a lil bit. i think im making progress? i mean i am literally making progress but its slow slow slow. much slower than id like! but lets talk about how its actually goin before i start bitchin about it lol

as far as weights go: i Am movin up there but bad form (deadlifts and barbell rows are really hard when you have hamstrings thatre as tight as mine are) and inconsistent training has really stymied me. there were a couple weeks there where i was missin at least a day a week, if not two. im not even squattin a hundo yet! that was supposed to be like three weeks ago! anyways i think i might try and get a new alarm app, since using my system clock for both training (volume low so it doesnt disturb others) and actual waking up (volume up so i scream out of bed) has been the majority of whats fucked me. plus holidays, plus days where im not at the office, plus l, plus ratio, plus furp. anyways, weights. i can hit the 5x5 on 40lbs overhead press with a lil exertion, so im gonna try and go back to the 45lbs tomorrow. squats are sittin pretty at 95, ill be trying for 100 tomorrow too. deadlifts n barbell rows i just complained about, ive been thinkin about moving to dumbbell rows but i dont wanna give up on the barbell yet. bench has been fine too. check the numbers below, which will now feature PREVIOUS REPORT COMPARISONS.

cardio has been better, tho really all i did was turn my speed up. i literally bustered out this morning, couldnt even make it to 30 minutes runnin steadily up from 5mph to abt 6.2. which i think is good? im assuming its better to be pushing myself than to plateau at a certain speed, though like i said last time cardio is really a supplemental training for me. consistent extended high heart rate is better than supersonic speed. idk. i at least feel like im really pushin myself there so ill keep on keepin on.

body numbers are i think doin better? weighed myself in at 156 on monday but havent been able to check what the bf% reading was. ive been doing my damndest to stick to a roughly ~1800cal/day diet, to mostly success. getting enough protein is still the biggest problem but im genuinely starting to worry about that less bc im getting at least like 150g during the workday, between protein bar and shake and super slunker lunch (been doin a double meat no rice at chipotle the last few days. their stupid lil calculator says im good but im not sure if i believe it lol) and usually a good amount at home that im sure im at least crossing my bodyweight in grams each day. the extra .5 im supposedly supposed to be eating to meet my 1.5x while im cuttin ehhhhh im less worried about. anyways, i think ive been noticing a lil more muscle in the mirror? could be a lil confirmation bias but im just gonna confirm that bias bc i need a lil somethin here lol. onwards!

NUMBERS

SQUAT - 70 -> 95

BENCH - 60 -> 70

ROW - 80 -> 80 (lol)

OVERHEAD - 45 -> 40

DEADLIFT - 105 -> 135 (was 145, but im goin down again to get rock solid on form)

CARDIO START - 4.5 -> 5.0

CARDIO END - 4.5 -> 6.2

CARDIO DURATION - 45min -> 25min

WEIGHT - 159.2 -> 156.7

BODYFAT - 24.3% -> 23.6%

[pansyfemme]

!! !! !!

hiiii sorry ive had a few of these sittin in my inbox but ive been busy so ill try and finish ‘em now! ^_^

(context: send me a !! and i’ll tell u about my ocs.)

[ID: a black and white sketch of a person. They have a choppy shaggy haircut, dramatic makeup and streched ears. They have a kerchief tied around their neck. end ID.]

I tried to do a quick doodle for this bc i realized i dont have too many recent drawings of mavis… i feel like all i draw is my ocs but i rlly havent had time for much original art so!

Mavis is an oc ive had for a while now! idk where it is but i think my first drawing of them was like. fall 2019 in a sketchbook? i had the idea for them for a few weeks before i got around to sketching though… i only remembered this when i found that sketch but one of the trivia for him when i first drew her was that she has been stabbed twice accidently?? i dont remember the signifgance of this at all lol but its funny.. im gonna keep it in the lore tho. Mavis kinda started as like. a best friend for noam but she turned into a lot more than that.. in the earliest idea of them she was a cis guy? but he’s leaned more and more feminine from that orignal idea- i now define him as transfeminine nonbinary, and on estrogen and post op feminizing top surgery.. but like i think in her head she’s a gay man and a lesbian and bisexual etc…

She works as a hairdresser at a family run salon he partly inherited after the death of their mother. They co-own it with their cousin. They are extremly close with their dad, and they talk everyday. She’s really into loud music, and lives with a close friend/ex of theirs, kel. Kel and Mavis were in a relationship for a few years before realizing they just weren’t really into eachother. Noam, mavis’ other best friend and ex shows kinda a track record with mavis. They generally aren’t into the idea of relationships as ‘forever’. When they end up dating noam again and also dating kidd and their long distance partner, nico- they set ground rules with all of them. Mavis is aro, and nervous about the idea of serious partners, but ultimatly wants them. It’s just very important to them that their partners know about their conflicting relationship with romantic attraction. Mavis is intrested in mod fashion, and while it doesnt always show up in their fashion directly, its an influence. She had a difficult time growing up, and met noam in theraputic boarding school, which was the first time they dated. Dating, in the end, is difficult for them even when its something they want to do!

in your humble opinion, what would ollie's favorite musical be?

the funny answer i like to give is cats, i truly believe he was a changed man after seeing that musical though that might’ve been due to the assassination attempt

less funny but still in canon answer is singin’ in the rain! it’s a classic and also has chefs kiss dinahalollie vibes, i watched the movie just yesterday and hell yeah thats a good musical right there!

HOWEVER. my actual actual real opinion, in terms of current musicals, and i know its all i talk about anyway but, i think he would love Hadestown. the politics and the love story combined ah mwah. loving someone so much that just the romance of it all makes workers unionise? now thats the perfect musical to ollie! i also think he’d enjoy come from away, both as a real heart warming story and because the sense of community that it’s all centred around 

#also keep in mind ive only seen like 20 musicals so far and have a long way to go so these opinions might change #also maybe im just projecting that last answer but actually no im not im completely right next question #answered #sorry to the other asks that have just been sittin there unanswered for like 2 weeks #arrowhcs

Muddy Hair and Pretty Waterfalls

Find it on Ao3

Summary: Ty Lee and Mai wash their hair together, there are undertones of yearning

A/N: i was like, the yearning and softness of washing someones hair, and then asked the lads for a pairing, i hope yall think i got their characterization right

In retrospect, Mai should’ve taken more precautions before helping rebuild the palace grounds. Not that it was particularly difficult with the amount of benders around to help with moving the bigger pieces around, but earth AND water benders around copious amounts of mud is something with an obvious outcome. Mai let out a large sigh as she passed her comb through her long dark hair, or rather tried to, as the mud had already dried, caking down the usually shiny soft locks to her scalp.

“Ya need some help there?” It was Ty Lee Mai saw in her vanity mirror, holding a comb of her own. If Mai thought her hair was long gone, looking at the other girl’s braided ponytail took any thought out of her head. The ex-circus member had been playing around in the mud while the majority worked at clearing the rubble. Mai couldn’t stay any type of mad at Ty Lee for long though, as her antics and bright attitude brought a much needed smile to her face. (Not that Mai would ever admit this to anyone at all.)

“It looks like you’re the one who needs help Ty,” letting out another sigh, Mai stood out of the plush chair and gestured towards it. “Sit down, I’ll see what I can do.” Ty Lee hopped into the seat, taking out her lower hair tie so her friend could start combing through her usual braid. Mai didn’t get very far before succumbing to the same frustration she felt with her own hair.

Ty Lee looked at Mai through the mirror and lightly huffed before pouting, “This would be so much easier to get out if the mud was wet.”

Mai stared back through the mirror before saying, “I have an idea.” and exiting the room, leaving a somewhat confused Ty Lee to follow. They made a stop at the bathing chambers, grabbing shampoo and conditioner; then the linen closet for towels; and finally Mai’s room again for a change of clothes and a bag to put their things in. Deciding that she had waited too long already, Ty Lee asked Mai to elaborate on her idea, only for a curt response telling her not to worry. 

Following the taller girl out of the estate, Ty Lee’s curiosity continued to grow even larger, and her questions more frequent. That all stopped when they reached their destination, a clearing with a small waterfall running off rocks that seemed to be a perfect mix of haphazardly and expertly placed through a running stream. It was a bit of a walk outside of the gardens on the estate, so it was unlikely the two would be disturbed. In awe, Ty Lee turned to her friend to go off about how beautiful the place was, and how she couldn’t believe that in all their years of friendship, Mai had never told her about this particular location on her family’s estate. Instead, she saw Mai at the stream’s edge, removing her robes and grabbing the shampoo and comb. Following through without expressing her thoughts, Ty Lee did the same, stepping out of her robes and carefully folding them next to the stream edge before grabbing her comb. 

Once the two were under the waterfall together, they fell into a comfortable silence, combing out the once stubborn mud from their hair, dirtying the once clear stream running beneath their feet. Hearing a soft ow from the brown haired girl, Mai looked up to see Ty Lee with her comb stuck in her hair. She let out a light tsk, “Ya need some help there?”

The other looked up sheepishly, a quiet “Yes, please,” leaving her lips. 

Mai removed Ty Lee’s hand from her tangled hair, and used her own comb to detangle starting from the tips up towards the root-where the other comb was stuck. Ty Lee took this as an opportunity to tell the other about her day playing in the mud, and joking around with the children of those working to help with the rubble surrounding the battle. “Ahh, I maybe should have thought a little harder before deciding to make a mud spirit.”

“A mud spirit?”

“Yeah this one kid was telling me about how in the water tribes they lie down in the snow and wave their arms and legs around making a shape in the snow, so I figured, if I can't make a snow spirit because there’s no snow, then I could make a mud spirit—because there was a looot of mud.”

A soft chuckle escaped Mai as she continued to comb. “Never change Ty Lee.” Ty Lee felt light heat rush across her cheeks and a soft flutter in her stomach at the subtle praise from her usually uninterested friend. The silence crept back in as a contented sigh left Ty Lee’s lips. Feeling the light touch of Mai’s nimble fingers on her scalp, massaging the shampoo all around, Ty Lee closed her eyes, a small smile appearing as a faint satisfied hum filled the air. The movements relaxed Ty Lee’s whole body allowing her mind to drift. She couldn’t remember the last time she was touched with such tender love and care. It certainly wasn’t in the past few months, or in the circus; her relationship with the other performers was certainly friendly, but they were nothing more than co-workers. That left her time at home;she and her sisters definitely took time to brush out each others’ hair, or to hug, but it felt more like obligation rather than a love for each other. Her train of thought only stopped when she finally heard Mai asking her to return the favor and wash the rest of the mud out of her hair.

Repeating the same motions Mai had, Ty Lee combed through the silky black tresses, working her way up from the tips to remove the rest of the mud. While working the shampoo into Mai’s scalp, Ty Lee felt the tension that had made permanent residence in her neck and shoulders begin to leave, and her impeccable strong posture relax just a bit. 

In an uncharacteristic meek voice, Ty Lee broke the silence, “Ya know, I was thinking of joining the Kiyoshi Warriors.” The tension in Mai’s neck returned. “Suki was a really great opponent and I’d like to learn her fighting style, and back in prison she told me about their community and goals, I think the world really needs some fixing and I think the Warriors could really help with that.” 

Mai turned around to face her friend, examining the nervous look on her face before saying, “I think that would be a good path for you.” She turned back around for Ty Lee to continue her work, “I’m not sure what I should do though, I love Zuko, but our relationship has never been entirely stable. I want to be there for my brother, but that would mean talking to my mother and father, and they haven’t been in the running for parents of the year for a long time. Sometimes I just want to run away from it all,  live in the woods where there’s no societal expectations for me to disappoint.”

“Well I think you should do what feels right right now, if it doesn’t work out, you can always change your mind. Or you can join me with the Kiyoshi Warriors~.” The tension in Mai’s neck left again at the encouraging words, and she waded over to the neat pile of their belongings. 

“There’s a hot spring near here, you coming?”

A wide grin overtook Ty Lee’s face as she pranced over to where Mai was waiting to show her the way. The two had a lot of decisions to make, some harder than others, but none of that mattered. In this moment, all they cared for were overdue warm embraces, laughter over shared meals, and late nights playing children's games with the rest of their new friends.

CAN I VAGUEPOST ABOUT A POPULAR SOAP BLOG FOR A MINUTE

im going to anyway.... there’s this super popular soap blog and they don’t source any of their content at all ever like most other soap blogs do and it’s really annoying, especially when i source everything on my soap blog and also post a lot of the same stuff they do..... like it’s fine if there’s more popular blogs than me obviously but it’s frustrating when they’re more popular, post a lot of content that you’ve already posted, AND don’t source

#zee.txt #ive been sittin on this for weeks now lmao
