Title: Devil to Pay

Fandom: Daredevil (TV)
Characters: Matt Murdock, Franklin "Foggy" Nelson, Claire Temple, Karen Page, Father Lantom

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.

Author’s Summary:
“So,” Matt says, after they’ve ordered. “There’s a story there, right?”

Scott recruits a teacher.

Reason I Love this Fic: A wonderful X-Men & Daredevil crossover involving Scott and Matt! The premise behind the meet is very realistic, and the awkward turned amicable bonding was spot on. Both Scott and Matt are written wonderfully, with excellent characterization. I can’t say enough about this fic.

Author’s Summary:
Everything is great. Terrific even.
It’s a nice thought, anyway.
For a prompt on the Daredevil kink meme:
Matt crying hysterically.

Reason I Love this Fic: I love the realism behind this fic. That no matter how much you may want things to return to normal and go back to the way they were, it isn’t always easy. It can be a long and sometimes painful road. This fic does a great job of showcasing this, particularly with Matt’s struggles after the events of season 1.

Relationship: Matt Murdock & Franklin "Foggy" Nelson
Characters: Matt Murdock, Franklin "Foggy" Nelson, Stick - Character
Additional Tags: Child Abuse, Self Confidence Issues, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Trust Issues

Author’s Summary: Matt has a whole pile of issues. Foggy puts a few to rest just by being himself.

Reason I Love this Fic: This fic is just amazing! It is by far my favorite in this four-part series. I love how the descriptions of each character’s hands speak so much to those characters and their influence, whether positive or negative, on Matt. The characterization in this piece is excellent. The author captures the voices of the characters perfectly. I am a big sucker for college era Matt & Foggy and it is in prime form here.

Title: An Act of Abandonment

Characters: Matt Murdock, Jonathan "Jack" Murdock, Franklin "Foggy" Nelson, Stick - Character
Additional Tags: Child Abuse, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Abandonment Issues, Self-Worth Issues, Catholicism, Touch-Starved, Matt needs a hug, Self Confidence Issues

Author’s Summary: It smells like mildew and sawdust, like the musty rodent scent caught up in the walls. Matt can taste the dust on his tongue when he moves through certain rooms, thick layers long undisturbed, and he knows that the floors are scratched, deep and ugly, from the way the irregularities feel beneath the soles of his shoes. The distant rattle of construction penetrates here, constant and invasive – the sound of a city reborn from the ashes.

But for all its flaws, the office is theirs. Matt's willing to overlook a lot, for that.

Reason I Love this Fic: This fic is so wonderfully sad. The first two chapters deal with the losses young Matt suffers. The second two detour into the wonderfulness of college-era Matt & Foggy and all the healing Matt does as a result of Foggy’s friendship. The fifth and final chapter brings us to the devastating loss of Foggy Matt suffers towards the end of season 1. Again, Asidian’s characterization is excellent, particularly their college-era Matt & Foggy.

Relationship: Matt Murdock & Franklin "Foggy" Nelson
Characters: Matt Murdock, Franklin "Foggy" Nelson
Additional Tags: Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Abandonment Issues, Self-Worth Issues, Self Confidence Issues, Food Issues, Matt needs a hug

Author’s Summary: The refrigerator contains two bottles of beer, one bottle of water, two eggs, and a sample-sized jar of jam. Matt drinks the beer and the water, and that first night he stands propped against the stove, barely upright, to fry the eggs. Gas and cooking oil permeate the apartment, then the savory scent of scrambled eggs when they hit the metal surface with a hiss.

He leans against the counter when they're finished – eats them there in the kitchen, from the pan, with a spoon.

Then he scrubs the dish in scalding water, scrubs and scrubs with the cheap sponge that feels like raw asphalt on one side. He keeps going for a long time, long after it's clean, until his fingers sting like they're going to blister.

This, Matt tells himself, is why he doesn't cook. His apartment will smell like eggs for a week, eggs layered under the blood.

Reason I Love this Fic: While this installment is my least-favorite in this four-part series, it is still excellently written. A great look at what might have happened between Matt and Foggy’s break-up in Nelson v Murdock and their reconciliation. Excellent characterization as always.

Characters: Matt Murdock, Franklin "Foggy" Nelson, Karen Page, Stick - Character
Additional Tags: Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Abandonment Issues, Self-Worth Issues, Self Confidence Issues, Matt needs a hug

Author’s Summary: He doesn't want to say what he's about to say, and he knows damn well Matt won't want to answer. But it's the first time in two days they've been together somewhere private, and Foggy needs to be sure.

"So, Wednesday," he says, trying for a conversational tone. "That was Stick, huh?" Matt freezes with the spoon halfway to his lips – tips his head, like he's waiting for the rest. "He always been that way?"

The light outside the apartment window shifts, orange to white, and picks out the lines of Matt's face in backlit detail. The expression there is strained – trying but failing not to give too much away.

Reason I Love this Fic: This is a great finale to a wonderful series. This is all Matt & Foggy just…reestablishing post season 1. This is the only installment told from Foggy’s POV and it's an excellent change in perspective. I cannot say enough about Asidian’s characterization. Matt and Foggy are so true to character.

Reason I Love this Fic: Excellent, extremely well written, college era, Matt & Foggy. The characterization is just wonderful. Matt has synesthesia where emotions are colors, which is made all the more interesting by the fact that Matt is NLP blind.

Reason I Love this Fic: Set post-season 1, this is a great look at how both Matt and Foggy struggle to establish the new normal in their friendship now that Foggy knows the truth about Matt’s abilities. The author also does a really great job of distinguishing between what Matt is capable of when he’s truly focused and honing his sense compared to his day-to-day activities. Great characterization for both Matt and Foggy.

Reason I Love this Fic: This fic is so real. Real in the sense that each of these scenarios could truly play out. There are so many reasons for Foggy to leave, good reasons. The author does a great job of exploring those. The happy ending is also a plus.

Author’s Summary: Matt makes no apologies for what he lacks, but it doesn't make it disappear.

Reason I Love this Fic: Set most likely post season 1, but could also be read as post season 3, this is an excellent, three part, look at Matt and Foggy's friendship, mostly as it applies to Matt's disability. I love fics that subtly delve into the fact that Matt is NLP blind and that his disability does affect him, while still managing to stay true to the character. This fic does just that. Excellent writing and characterization.
