Author’s Summary:
One month post Season 1. Matt had been so fixated on those looking to destroy the people of his city, he missed those looking to destroy him. Or, how the sins of the father are revisited on the son…and everyone the son loves.

“Seeing Matt like this – bruised and bloodied – it should seem to Foggy that his friend was broken and weak. But instead all he saw was power. Matt was pure, coiled power, nothing but bone, muscle, and skin out there fighting off the bad guys. Saving people from the darkness. Fighting for what he wanted: the people in his city safe from fear.”

Reason I Love this Fic: This is a wonderful post Season 1 case-fic. The author does an excellent job of weaving together a storyline that encompasses Matt’s past, Foggy’s struggle to accept Matt being Daredevil, and the events of Season 1. It is very well written with nice pacing and excellent characterization.
