Matt Murdock x FemReader

Word count: 1900

Summary: You know how much he yearns to touch and be touched, even though he's too afraid to ask for it. You make it your mission to give him all the affection he deserves.

Trigger warnings: none

Masterlist

Matthew Murdock, you've come to find, is an extremely tactile person.

You're not exactly shocked, given the way he uses his hands to navigate the world around him more than most people. But while you watch him ache for touch, both to be touched and to touch others, you rarely see him ask or offer it, as if he's afraid to be rejected either way.

You've known the man for all of three months, having been introduced through Karen, the kind blonde woman in your book club who you can tell early on is in need of a good girl friend. She must notice the same yearning in you because she strikes up a conversation with you one day, and weeks later, your friendship has progressed to her inviting you to drinks with the men she considers her best friends.

Foggy is one of the most cheerful men you've ever met, his smile always ready on speed dial, it seems. He's quick to laugh, quick to make a joke, quick to send an exaggerated wink your way when you say something that could be considered flirtatious if either one of you took it seriously.

Matt is a little more reserved, often looking lost in his own head, red glasses glinting in the dim lights of the crowded bar, hiding eyes you just know are probably the most expressive part of him. There's a reason he keeps them hidden away, you think.

The smiles he sends your way are absolutely stunning, his laugh lines becoming more exaggerated, a dimple appearing to the right of his mouth. It’s no surprise when you make it your personal mission to see his lips open in a laugh or a smile as often as you can.

Foggy and Karen are easy in their physical affection for each other. Shoulders bumping intentionally when sitting next to each other, grabbing hands in comfort or shared hilarity, shoving each other lightly when a joke is made at the other's expense. Years of friendship and hardships provides a level of comfort with each other that isn’t easily severed.

And it's not that they don't include Matt in their circle of affection, because they do. It's just...different. There's something there, something you can't quite pinpoint, but sometimes it looks like they're nervous he might run off if they press him too hard.

You're not a therapist, but growing up the only introvert in a family of loud extroverts has made you rather adept at observing people, watching for familiar tics and brief flickers of emotions that pass over someone's face so quickly that you'd almost miss it if you weren't paying attention. Moments in time when someone might let a vulnerability slip, or a flash of anxiety so fleeting you might wonder if it was real.

You’ve learned that people give tiny tells of themselves away all the time, little pieces they’re unaware someone could notice, if one is only observant and patient enough to look for them.

When it comes to Matthew Murdock, you’re both.

You pay attention to everything that Matt says and does, longing to find a way inside his head, if only to know how you might help him smile more and laugh harder. You’re not quite sure what he has gone through in his life, not quite sure of the things he’s experienced, but what you are sure of is that the man has been taught to believe that his needs are secondary to everyone else’s.

It’s no surprise to you that Matt is extremely touch starved, yearning for something that he doesn’t believe he deserves or knows how to even articulate. The office of Nelson, Murdock & Page slowly includes you in more and more of their get-togethers, so it’s a rather easy conclusion to come to as you find your eyes drifting to him more often than not. You see how, even while he leans into whatever hug and kiss on the cheek Foggy or Karen gives him, he seems to hold back, as if he thinks something so soft, so affectionate, so downright simple is too much to ask for.

Matt has a way of keeping people at arm's length, one that you assume has held him back from friends and from lovers for decades. You're not sure if he does it intentionally or unintentionally, and you're also not quite sure if he knows the answer, either. You can see the brief flicker of vulnerability that passes over his face when Foggy and Karen offer him their warmth, and you can see the flash of longing on his face that passes by even quicker, before it's replaced with something more neutral when they pull away.

It’s in those moments that you spend extra time trying to draw him into conversations, making every effort to pull him back down to Earth as his insecurities attempt to pull him away. You make it your mission to coax him gently out of his head, if only to show that his presence is wanted and needed, that he is not replaceable, that he is one hundred percent valued and loved and welcomed by everyone seated at their high top table located in the corner of Josie’s bar.

You don't know this man well, not yet at least, but you'll be damned if he spends one more minute looking like he expects people to ask him to leave, when all he wants to do is stay.

It starts with an innocent nudge of your foot against his one night at happy hour, one that could almost be claimed as accidental. His face whips up towards yours, startled, cherry lips open in bewilderment, and you can see the way his mind is trying to sort through the possible reasons for the light brushing of your foot against his.

There’s a light flush to his cheeks, no doubt from the drinks he’s been sipping on all evening, and the color is a sweet, beautiful compliment to his dark hair and fair skin tone. His glasses flicker underneath the muted lights of the bar as he gives you his full attention, and your heart briefly stutters when you realize you may have just started down a path with the man in front of you that you’re not sure you’ll ever want to step off of.

Taking a deep breath, ready to give this man the world if he were to ask it of you, your foot carefully nudges his again, and there's only a moment’s pause before he pushes lightly back.

After that, it only takes a few times out with the four of you before he's the one initiating the contact, foot lightly tapping against yours several times during the course of an evening out as a group. He sits across from you, head tilted in your direction even while Foggy is drunkenly talking his ear off, and your cheeks redden with the knowledge that though nothing has been said, you’ve begun slipping from friendship into something that could be more. You smile into your beer bottle, and watch as a similar version blooms across his face as he takes a sip from his own drink.

Months later, you’ll find it hilarious when you realize that the beginning of your relationship with the Devil of Hell's Kitchen started off with a game of footsie.

Casually resting your hand on his forearm while he tells a funny story is what comes next, and the light contact causes him to jump in his seat, a blush appearing across his cheeks before he finishes what he’s saying. He's sitting next to you this time, having joined later than the rest of the group and realizing the only open seat is the one to your left. Foggy and Karen have chosen to sit side by side across the table while they read through an email together on one of their phones.

Despite a brief scattering of scars that are present, his skin is the softest you’ve ever felt, and your hand remains on his arm the rest of the night. You go out of your way to use your opposite hand for everything you need, whether it be to push your hair back behind your ear or take a sip of your drink, loathe to miss one second of the way he feels against your fingers.

He makes no effort to move you, and instead shifts in his seat so that he’s better positioned to accept your touch.

Following that night, Matt only ever sits next to you, and it's not long before his hand is resting on your arm as you regale the group with embarrassing stories from college, or while you bitch and moan about your boss. His fingers tap against your arm in a rhythm only he can hear, his calloused hands warm and soothing and right, and you find yourself wishing he would lean into you and hum whatever song is in his head, longing for the sound to be low and raspy and meant just for your ears.

The touches you exchange gradually move to shoulder bumpings, arms around the backs of chairs, and hugs that last a second or two longer than the ones he normally shares with Foggy and Karen.

There’s faint kisses on cheeks, fingers playing with the tips of your long hair, a whisper of a thigh pressed against yours once, then twice, until one day, your thighs do nothing but touch, pressing from hip to knee, a burning heat radiating up and down the entire course of your body.

The day that he removes his hand from the crook of your elbow while you're guiding him to the next bar, and chooses to hold your hand instead, a gentle lacing of fingers without a word on either side, you go home and text your mother that you think you've found the man you're going to marry.

Hand holding turns into soft kisses on door steps which then turns into sleeping next to him on his silk sheets, his bare chest to your back, arm around your waist, a solid thigh slid between yours.

His hands map every single inch of your skin, the trail of his fingers feeling like a flame that is only put out by the mouth that soon follows. Words are written into his skin as you whisper everything you’ve wanted to promise him from the day you met.

You consider it a personal victory when he tells you he plans to take you up on every single one of those promises, and makes some of his own as he lays you down on his bed, hands holding yours above your head as he moves against you, moves in you.

Your investment in making Matt Murdock smile and ask for your touch as much as you do his is the most worthwhile one you've ever made.

He offers his affection with palms on your cheeks, fingertips pressed into your skin, kisses placed on lips and eyelids and everywhere else he wants to put them, and you soak it all up until they're tucked under your ribcage and resting up against your heart. You offer frequent and quiet reminders that his body was made for all things soft and precious and gentle, as much as it's been molded for the harsh reality and violence of Hell's Kitchen.

Matthew Murdock was born to be adored and loved and cherished, and while you wish he could see it for himself, you have no objections to being the one that helps him believe it.

large black coffee - 6

You own and operate a new specialty cafe in Hell's Kitchen. One day, a blind lawyer walks through the door, and the trajectory of your life is changed for good. (~1900 words)

author's note: part 6 has arrived, signaling the start of the second arc of this series! you and matt have a night in. this full series is also officially over 10k words now, making it one of the longest fanfics i've ever written (holy shit!!!!!!). this takes place post-season 3 of daredevil, so there will be spoilers for the entire show in this series!

fic note: no use of y/n or gendered pronouns

warnings: some strong language, kissing (it's mostly just fluff tbh)

read part 5.5 here | start at the beginning | series masterlist | request guidelines

~*~*~

Matt rests his chin on your shoulder, his breath fanning out along your cheek. “Have you decided what you want yet?”

Your eyes flick over the menu in front of you. “Pad Thai?”

He kisses your cheek. “Good choice.”

It’s been over two weeks since you joined Matt and his friends at Josie’s, almost three since you had your run-in with Daredevil. You still haven’t told anyone that you saw him, not even Eliza, who had asked at work the next day why you’d left baking supplies all over the place. The sprained wrist had been easy to explain: you’d fallen down the stairs, tried to break your fall. You’d wrapped it up yourself. The baking supplies, you excused with your own forgetfulness. It was easier than telling people what had happened to you.

It wasn’t that you were upset that Daredevil had saved your life. Rather, you just figured you wouldn’t worry anyone else by telling them. It had already happened—why bring it back up?

So now, you stand in Matt’s apartment, ordering Thai food with him to be delivered to his apartment, and you're determined not to let these weeks-old memories ruin an evening for you. There was no sense in making things bigger than they were when there was no need for it, right?

Matt pulls out his phone to place the order, leaving you to sit on his couch and stare at the mountain of papers in front of you. It’s half-date night, half-“let’s try to prepare Matt for court tomorrow morning.” In the time since you started dating, this is the first time you’d been around for one of Matt’s bigger cases. Needless to say, tensions are high at Nelson, Murdock, & Page, and to help out, you volunteered to help Matt run through the details of the case.

To put it simply, you’re feeling overwhelmed.

“It should be here in about thirty minutes,” Matt says, joining you on the couch. He winces as he sits, his hand briefly flying to his side.

“Everything okay?” you ask, straightening up a little.

He nods, hand moving to take his glasses off and set them on the coffee table. “I’m fine. Just—pulled something at work yesterday.”

You scoff, your eyebrows going up. “Are you getting old or something?”

“Shut up,” he says fondly, leaning over and pulling you in for a kiss. You smile into it, relishing in the feel of him under your hands, and try not to show your disappointment when he pulls away. “Okay. Are you sure you want to help me with this? It’s boring.”

“Unless you’d rather hear me ramble about baking tips,” you say, bracing one elbow against the back cushions and resting your head in your hand.

“Well, I wouldn’t mind that,” Matt says. “You have a nice voice.”

Your face goes hot at that. “I’m sure you tell that to all of your dates.”

“Eh, only the ones I like,” he says, grinning. You huff and roll your eyes.

“All right, hotshot,” you say. “Lay it on me.”

By the time dinner arrives, your head is swimming, but Matt seems to be growing more and more confident and energized as the minutes pass. He practically bounds over to the door to pick it up, his energy palpable in the air, and it’s only once you smell the food does the fog in your head clear a little.

“Wow, I’m…kind of glad that I didn’t go to law school,” you say, helping him bring plates and utensils and drinks over to the coffee table.

“It was hard, and expensive, so I don’t blame you,” Matt says, kissing your cheek as he sits down. Your heart jumps in your chest.

“But you love it,” you say, watching him as he pops open his container of curry.

Matt’s smile is almost shy, turned down at his food, and you catch a glimpse at the crinkles at the corners of his eyes. By day, out in public, this man is damn near intimidating in his suits and glasses. But here, when it’s just the two of you in his apartment, he’s soft. Present.

You only just manage to resist the urge to reach out and pull him in for another kiss and instead direct your attention to the steaming container of Pad Thai on your lap. “So. I have a question.”

He tilts his head in your direction. “Yeah, sure.”

“About Daredevil.”

That makes him pause. He stops what he’s doing for a moment and turns his blank gaze in your direction, hazel eyes glinting in the light of the billboard outside his window. “Why?”

You lift one shoulder. “Jacob was asking about him a couple days ago—something he saw on the news. He asked me to ask you guys for information, since you’ve worked for him before.” It wasn’t totally a lie. Jacob had told you once that he’d been fascinated with superheroes since the Battle of New York, and while none of you were positive that Daredevil was a superhero, there was no doubt in any of your minds that he was a hero.

Even if his style of hero-ing was less flashy than the Avengers.

“Well,” Matt says, his brow furrowing. “As far as I’m aware, he usually works alone, especially in the field. One of my former clients was actually one of the few people he has worked with.”

Your jaw drops. “Who?”

“Jessica Jones.”

Jessica— “Patsy’s sister?”

The corner of Matt’s mouth turns up. “Yeah, but she’d kill you if you called her that to her face."

You let out a disbelieving laugh, falling against the back cushions of the couch. “Holy shit.”

“We have had an…interesting variety of clients, shall we say,” Matt says.

This, you know very well. Hell, the Punisher case even has its own Wikipedia page because of how sensational it had been. Finding out Matt had had Jessica Jones as his client at one point? Weird, but in an even weirder way, it made sense.

“She seems so cool,” you say distantly, stabbing at the Pad Thai with your fork.

Matt wrinkles his nose. “I can introduce the two of you, if you want. Eventually.”

“Oh, Jacob would flip.” You take a bite of food and barely manage to contain your excitement about it. “Goddamn, this is good. Where has this been my whole life?”

“Right down the street,” Matt says.

“I’d flip you the bird, but I don’t know how big of an effect it would have on you.”

“You’re too kind.”

Then, you really do flip him the bird, but if he notices, he doesn’t show it.

You finish your food much quicker than you would have liked, and then it’s back to work for both of you. Mostly for Matt, though, because your job is to sit and listen and give him feedback.

Not that there’s a lot of feedback that you can give him, since your only experience with the law is two episodes of Law & Order reruns that you and your cousin watched four years ago, but still. Matt insists that your presence is more than enough.

Before you realize it, it’s past ten o’clock, and reluctantly, the two of you start clearing away takeout trash and reorganizing the papers. Matt has to be at the courthouse early, so he won’t be able to stop by the cafe before he heads in, so this is the last time you’ll see him until it’s over. It won’t be long, it’s not like you’re going a week without seeing him, but you hate it.

“I’ll miss you,” you say into his shoulder.

His laugh rumbles through his whole body. “I’ll call you.”

“You better.”

“Get a cab,” Matt says softly, kissing your temple. “I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.”

You smile, leaning into him. “I will.”

“Good.” He gently tilts your face up so he can kiss you on the lips, gentle and hot at the same time. You can’t help but melt into him, your hands going to snake up his back and draw him closer to you, his hands sliding along your jaw and holding you in place. His tongue brushes against your lips, and you’re almost tempted to let him in, and then—

Foggy! Foggy! Foggy!

You separate, both of you groaning as Matt fishes his phone out of his pocket and brings it up to his ear with one hand.

“Hello?” he says, still holding onto you.

“Am I interrupting anything?”

“Yes,” Matt grits out. You press your fingers to your lips to hide your smile.

“Oh. Sorry. Anyways, Karen found something else for the case. Might be useful. Can I run it by you right now?”

“Give me a minute and I’ll call you back,” Matt says.

“Okay, so just—”

Matt shuts his phone off, and you finally let out the little burst of laughter that you’d been keeping in. He turns his face up to the ceiling, exasperation written all over it.

“I’m so sorry,” he says.

“No, no, it’s okay,” you say, reaching and pulling his face back down. “Good luck on the case tomorrow. Call me when you can.”

“Okay,” Matt says, kissing your forehead and then your lips again. “Get home safe.”

“I will,” you reassure him as he opens the door.

“Goodnight,” he says.

Only once you’re at the elevator do you hear the door shut.

The cab ride to your apartment isn’t long, thankfully. Once you’re in your building, it’s another quick elevator ride up to your floor, and then a short trip down a hallway to your apartment.

You step inside and hang up your bag before heading to the kitchen, flicking on lights as you go. You pour yourself a glass of water and down half of it, then move to the stairs that lead up to the roof. Matt has yet to show you his roof, but you don’t mind, considering how you have your own space with your own view—and what a damn good view it is, too.

Sighing, you lean against the railing, and even though the breeze that blows by you is cool, you feel warm inside, all happy and soft from the time you spent with Matt. You keep your eyes on the skyline, the high rises and skyscrapers glittering in the distance, the old Avengers tower like a gleaming monolith in the middle of it all.

Superheroes, huh? You rest your chin in your hand. What a world you live in.

Something clatters behind you, and you spin around, hand going instinctively to your phone (it’s barely left your side since the attack). For a moment, you see nothing but the shadows that cling to everything on the roof—shapeless forms that line the walls and pipes and loose bricks that lay scattered around the place. And then, your eyes land on a spot that seems darker than the rest, and your heartbeat quickens.

“Who is it?” you demand, though the pull in your gut tells you that you already know.

The shadow melts away from the wall, coalescing into one solid form: black and dark red, hard lines and broad planes, the man that saved Hell’s Kitchen—and you.

Daredevil.

Homestead Grays was one of the most successful of the professional Negro League baseball teams. They won ten Negro National League Titles (1937-45, 1948) and three Negro League World Series Titles (1943-44, 1948), where they played the champion of the Negro American League. The team was based in Homestead, Pennsylvania, but played their home games at both Forbes Field in Pittsburgh and at Griffith Stadium in DC.

In 1900, a group of African American men from Pittsburgh formed the Blue Ribbon Industrial League Team, where they played pick-up games against some of the best sandlot teams in the Pittsburgh area. The Blue Ribbon Industrial League Team was active for 10 years but when the managers retired, the players renamed the team the Murdock Grays. They continued to play sandlot teams as the Murdock Grays for a season, but in 1912, Pittsburgh businessman Posey Cumberland transformed them into the Homestead Grays.

The Grays participated in four different Negro Leagues throughout their professional baseball career: Independent (1912-1928, 1930-1931), the American Negro League (1929), the East-West Negro League (1932), and the Negro National League (1935-48). The Grays were active from 1912 until they disbanded in 1950.

Much of the success of the Homestead Grays is attributed to the power hitting from longtime catcher Josh Gibson and first baseman Buck Leonard who were nicknamed the “thunder twins.” The Grays had “Smokey” Joe Williams, an ace pitcher who once struck out 26 batters in a 12-inning game. Other star players included many future baseball Hall of Famers such as “Cool” Papa Bell (outfield), Judy Johnson (third base), and Martin Dihigo (utility).

The Grays continued to play for two seasons after the Negro National League broke up in 1948 but finally disbanded in 1950. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

June 25 ZODIAC

Close to home and strict: they are grouchy and variable simultaneously. They can undoubtedly squeeze into varying backgrounds and effectively switch companions. They are solid and extremely influential individuals. Their interests are areas of strength for extremely, their propensities frequently mislead them. They are drawn to the other gender. In the event that you are cautious you will come by a decent outcome. Barely any times in their lives will they fall affected by others. They have solid respect and a great deal of adoration for studies, which would ultimately raise them to a conspicuous scholastic position. They frequently carry on with a desolate existence, and for the most part concentrate abroad. A lady brought into the world on this day is very lovely, with a well disposed, dynamic, fairly hurried outside. In any case, she docilely quiets down. She will have youngsters and will be exceptionally joined to them. Somewhat modest and not fair 100% of the time. She tracks down joy in helping other people and really focusing on the feeble. Individuals conceived today are by and large miserable in their childhood. Nonetheless, everything improves as the years go by: their position settles, they become prosperous, and their state of mind improves decisively.

Starvation Reservoir, UT (No. 2)

There are various narratives explaining the name "Starvation". Orson Mott recounted the most credible story. In 1900, A.M. Murdock of Heber city, approached Major Myton of the Uintah Indian reservation to purchase grazing permits for his cattle. He was given grazing permits in the upper Strawberry river area. Dave Murdock, brother of Al Murdock, had secured a contract to provide beef to the Ute tribe at Fort Duchesne. In the fall of 1904 they brought the herd out of the high grazing areas and made it to the river bottoms which is now covered by Starvation reservoir. Very heavy snows stranded the herd. With no feed the entire herd died. Dave Murdock named the area "Starvation Flats" from this experience.

Another account describes a group of fur trappers stranded in harsh winter conditions who survived by stealing a local Native American cache of food, which resulted in their starvation. Another account tells the opposite story, with the Indians doing the stealing and the trappers starving. A third story involves a local rancher who attempted to graze livestock in the area, and they all starved.[5] Yet another explanation for the name involves settlers in the early 1900s trying to survive along the banks of the Strawberry River, in the area now occupied by the reservoir. These settlers dealt with near-starvation in a hostile environment. Winters in the area are long and cold, and their livestock often died. The area's short growing season was hindered by floods, hail, early frost and other problems. These settlers could have nicknamed the area Starvation.

fanfic asks: 13 27 34 50

thanks anon!!

13 - do you listen to music while you write? if yes, what have you been listening to recently?

usually, not for the bulk of it, no. but when i edit i have to listen to music or else i'll have no focus. when i was editing asper i had my library on shuffle but i found that shoegaze had me most focused. weird, 'cause shoegaze is literally just pretty noise but also not weird 'cause noise i can control tends to keep me distracted enough to stay focused. does that make sense?

27 - what area of writing do you feel strongest in?

description! i'm not a very vocal person irl (and when i am, there are lots of stutters and a blatant lack of volume control and i'm often told i'm blunt) so dialogue for reader is something i find extremely difficult and i tend to pull dialogue from canon material a ton.

34 - how much of your personal life/experience do you include in your fics?

little to none, lol. i write for matt murdock - a man in his late 20s that's experienced human horrors beyond my comprehension. the most i've included is the bits of dialogue i really wanna hear matt say to me or say in general.

50 - how would you describe your writing style?

i dunno? it's like an author from the early 1900s came to the future and read too much wattpad fanfiction and it really negatively affected their writing.

⟳ fanfiction writing asks.

#i dunno if that description is right but that's what i want it to be lol #gabs' asks

October 1903 Dearest Walter, I haven’t much to report, I’m afraid. School is carrying on as usual, and I’m learning just as hard. The first year is certainly just to ease us into boarding school, because my homework has doubled since I came back from Summer vacation, and I fear it will double again by the end of the year. There are days I wish I could be back in Henford with you, where life would certainly be more relaxed, but I feel as though I wouldn’t be as fulfilled there. I’d probably be a farmer, can you imagine that? I certainly can’t!

Life isn’t always corking here, though. I don’t know if you remember Virgil and Anthony from some of my previous letters, but my opinion of them hasn’t changed. I absolutely detest them, and I hope the devil breaks their spines. Mother tells me to not use such vulgar phrases, but it’s not my fault that Virgil and Anthony are maggots.

Well, I finally figured out why they plague me so, and I’m abashed it took so long to realise. It’s because my family isn’t as wealthy as theirs. Virgil's the son of Alban Dimsdale, some politician. The only reason I know his name is because he won’t shut up about him, and how he’s so powerful, and could lock all the poor in jail. If that were true, he wouldn’t be the only one talking about him, but I digress. His father has money, and so does Anthony’s. Anthony doesn’t talk about his father so much, but he’s rich too, apparently, otherwise he wouldn’t be friends with Virgil.

The thing is, if I found some baggage, filled with more money than Virgil could ever hope to have, I would still be hounded for not having old money. That’s Fred’s problem. His father’s a doctor, and a successful one, too. Trouble is, his father grew up poor, and all the money he has is new money. Forget that the Slaters are doing well enough to send their son to Edgewater, if it wasn’t an award from some king upwards of 200 years ago, it’s worthless.

Arguably, they harass Fred more than me. I guess he’s an actual threat to the feudal system they’d love to reinstate (we’ve been learning about it in history class). Sometimes I just want to punch them both in the face, and I let them know it, too. Fred always drags me away before I can actually do anything, though.

To be fair, it’s not just homework and bullies up here. On the weekends, Fred and I go into the city, and spend the day there. He usually brings money his family sent him with us, so we can buy candy from a sweetshop. We’ll go to a park and eat it there, but not after buying a copy of the Fowler’s Magazine. They don’t have them in Henford, but it’s where people can have short stories published. One day, I’m going to have my stories published in there, and I’ll send you a copy when it happens, but for now, I’m fine just reading what other people have to say.

I may be spending all this time with Fred, but I just want you to know that you’re still my favourite person in the world. I’m sorry this letter has been mostly a formless rant, but life’s frustrating at times. Surely you understand?

Your’s sincerely, Charlie

WE KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME.

And still, we dread it. Today at approximately 1900 the Incursion is set to occur, with the main collision happening at 42nd St and Broadway, the area dubbed as Times Square.

(has ID)

As something that personally interests me a lot, i decided to go through the Maleev issues of Daredevil vol. 2, to identify and list as many pieces of artwork that appear inside Nelson & Murdock’s law offices as i could. I love this as fun easter eggs that add visual interest to the pages, and also as material to headcanon Foggy as an art appreciator. So here’s the Nelson & Murdock art print catalogue, in order:

Fishblood (1898), by Gustav Klimt

Title page illustration for the book Clio (1900), by Alphonse Mucha

Theseus and the Minotaur (1898), by Gustav Klimt

Biographies of the Loyal Retainers: Oribe Yahei Kanamaru (c. 1847), by Utagawa Kuniyoshi

Suprematist Painting (with Black Trapezium and Red Square) (1915), by Kazimir Malevich

Speakers on Tribune (1919), by Kazimir Malevich

#daredevil #daredevil comics #milla donovan #matt murdock #foggy nelson #angela del toro #alex maleev #has alt text #whew this one sure was a post to make #rip to the unidentifiable processed architectural photographs and that one framed abstract painting i couldnt identify #op

Animated to Life

Anyone remember the virtual band; [The Gorillaz]? Its a band that consists of four animated characters who goes by the names; 2D, Murdock, Noodle and Russel who interacts with real life people and real life locations.

The thought of putting animation on-top of real life is a concept found in the cracks of the media we consume. They break realities and they fulfill the dreams of being able to interact with our favorite animated characters when the final product is finished. The names of what this media is may vary, but the agreed and the most used title is; Live-animated hybrid productions.

- A Trace Through Time -

Started as far back as 1900, the concept of animated characters on real life action began with; < The Enchanted Drawing > While it looked nothing alike with what we see today, The film shows the early concepts of this mixed media production. It shows a drawn character interacting with a real life actor and real life props with simple filmmaking magic.

The most famous productions that shares this concept is found through two popular movies. The film, < Who Framed Roger Rabbit > and < Space Jam > In theses films, the famous animated characters of the time are seen interacting with real life actors; Bob Hoskins and Michael Jordan respectively.

Through them, it showed the potential of playing with cartoonish physics and real life environments. Fulfilling a child’s dream to interact with their favorite childhood heroes or with their ideal lovers such is the case for < Cool World > with its leading femme fatale, [Holli Would] and its world building concept of a universe where the Noids (Humans) and Doodles (Animated Characters) live in their own worlds while the main character bridges between the worlds.

While what I talked about in this section is just a little Smitch of Live-animated productions through the years. I would like to take the time to highlight the less grand and technical side of things. See, aside from films. This concept has also opened up the idea of having them be made for commercials, pictures and even introduced virtual personalities as seen on [Trash Taste with Calliope Mori]

- Making Real Life Interesting -

While making films is tedious but rewarding, I would argue that its the small productions that makes me love this mixed media a lot more. As of late, I’ve been obsessed with finding and studying how Live-animated hybrid pictures get made by certain Instagram users.

The one I followed and used as study material is [ADUNIIS] for his interesting choice of scenery. his works features anime characters from various shows, blending in with mundane places like living people.

Similarly, [SamuelMB] does the same but with Disney characters. Having more than one subject to interact with and create fun gags during the editing process. Looking into it a little deeper, I discovered that a lot of these edits are found more on Pinterest under the tag; [Anime Girls in Real Life] and [Anime Boys in Real Life] The downside to this type of edit is that the good ones are few and far between.

These edits require a good eye for character poses that make sense, locations in angles that is more generic and less outstanding. Understanding compositions that require trial and error and lots of outsourcing. Just looking at some of them gave me a splitting headache over the amount of hours spend just for one photo. Several creators brought them back to their roots of short videos like, [KOJER]’s take on Ghibli characters on real life.

- Capturing The Magic -

Its no secret that I love this movement and that I’ve been learning how to make it work with my characters; Sadie, Hector and The Hoodlites. Really, its just my way of using all the photos I took to be used for fun. Its a creative outlet that I believe could be useful for something in my professional career as a graphic designer.

As a person and as a designer, no creator can “just be” someone of one duty anymore. We have to experiment with the tools given and move above and beyond what we started with. In my case, I want to bring my characters to real life scenery and hang out. Be in a moment and although it is far from perfect, its the most fun I had in a while with this ambitious project of mine.

For me, I see Live-animated hybrid productions as that act. To go above and beyond. The medium itself is a perfect marriage of the two elements into one whole entity. Causing a pause in the midst of the bland scrolling over typical pictures.

Digital art is a new and thankless craft that the world has yet to appreciate because it didn’t feel like a lot of effort is put to them. Meanwhile, Traditional art is an expensive craft with the constant need to restock art supplies. If both sides aren’t receiving attention.

Why not put them together? [Credits to Lauren Tsai]

Surprisingly, its still very underground among new artists and I rarely find them within the community. Perhaps this can be a challenge for any new souls out there If you have an Original Character or subject that you think looks dull. Add them to a real life image, blend them. Test some settings. Play with the lighting, make your mundane lives more, alive~

With that said, I’m writing to inform you that things might go slow on December 2021. Work is coming in again and I won’t write and draw as much but I’ll do my very best to keep to my schedule.

Thanks for reading

Word count: 1900

Pairing: Peter Parker x Michelle Jones, a smattering of Peter Parker x Felicia Hardy, and May x Happy (because I love awkwardness)

Warnings: None really for this chapter. Later there will be violence, death, blood and maybe others. I’ll edit as I go.

A/N: Originally posted 8/23/19. First off thanks to @heyhihellowhatsup0 for editing this for me! I’m really excited about this series and may have already planned the sequel in my head. Like, before I even wrote this prologue. Because of who I am as a person. If youd’d like ot be added to the taglist for this series or my permanent taglist, just send an ask!

Scattered conversations filled the gallery of the courtroom. “The trial of the decade” as the news had taken to calling it, had dragged on for weeks and everyone was anxious for the closing arguments. No one more so than Peter Parker. Peter never imagined he’d be on trial for murder before his 18th birthday, but that’s exactly where he was. After Mysterio had unmasked him and sent a doctored video to every news outlet in the world, he wasn’t exactly surprised when he’d been arrested. “Spider-Man Behind Bars” had been the headline for days. Even when Pepper had bailed him out, he didn’t feel free. He couldn’t leave his apartment without being bombarded, either by press wanting a quote or by fans wanting an autograph. Patrolling had become nearly impossible because everywhere he went people saw and had something to say.

“Hey Spidey, try not to kill anyone this time around, yeah?”

“Yo Parker, how that’s hot aunt of yours?”

He wasn’t in jail, but he was a prisoner in his home until things blew over. The pounding of the gavel made him jump and bring his attention back.

“Court will come to order!” The judge shouted above the noise. The chatter died down until the room was silent. Peter glanced over his shoulder. In the front row behind him sat Aunt May, Happy, Pepper, Ned and MJ. They had been there for every second of his trial. Happy and Pepper had even testified for him. Seeing them there, he was grateful, but he couldn’t help but wish Tony were there too. He sighed, and turned back around.

“The defense may now proceed with their closing statements,” the judge continued. “Mr. Murdock?”

Peter’s lawyer, Matt Murdock, rose from his seat. When everything started Peter wasn’t sure how he’d ever afford a lawyer. Spider-Maning didn’t exactly pay the bills. He hadn’t even had time to all anyone when Matt showed up at the police station, offering his services pro bono. Matt had assured him there was no catch, and true to his word he had been with Peter every step of the way. Now, he cleared his throat and made his way forward to deliver his closing statement, wearing a plain grey suit and tie and the red-lensed sunglasses he always donned. The first day in court Peter had gotten up to help him find his way, but he quickly found that Matt being blind didn’t really hold him back. Unfolding his red and white cane, Matt tapped it on the ground in front of him as he made his way to stand before the jury.

“Thank you, Your Honor,” he began.

“Members of the jury. Truth be told, this trial shouldn’t even be happening. The alleged crime occurred overseas, well outside the jurisdiction of District Attorney Tower, but the state is seeking to make an example of my client. They’re using Mr. Parker to send a message to all enhanced people: Stay hidden or pay the price. I’m not here to try and convince you that Peter Parker isn’t Spider-Man. You’ve seen irrefutable proof that he is.” Peter gulped at this. A large part of Matt’s defense strategy hinged on not denying the fact that he was Spider-Man. Peter was wary of it, but everyone assured him this was the best way. He focused on Matt as he continued.

“What you’ve also seen is irrefutable proof that he is innocent of the charges laid against him. Mr. Parker has proven time and time again that he’s willing to lay his life on the line, not just for the people of New York, but the people of the world. Both before and after the Blip he put his own safety at risk for the greater good, all before he’s even graduated high school.” Matt paused, tilting his head toward the jury box. Peter had noticed him doing this often but he couldn’t quite figure out why. It almost seemed like he was listening for something.

“Expert videographers have proven Mr. Beck’s video was doctored and Mrs. Potts-Stark has kindly granted us access to the E.D.I.T.H. system, which has shown us the unaltered series of events that took place on the Tower Bridge. You saw my client attempt to reason with Mr. Beck. You saw Mr. Beck becoming more and more erratic and unhinged. You even saw the artificial intelligence system warn Mr. Beck that firing the weapons on the drones around him would put him in mortal danger. He continued despite this, and it cost him his life. It very nearly cost my client his. Once again, Mr. Parker threw himself into danger in order to save thousands of lives. Quentin Beck’s death was a tragic accident, but it was one of his own design. You have a duty, based on the evidence presented to you here, to return a verdict of not guilty. Thank you.”

After the closing statements had been delivered, there was nothing left to do but wait. Pepper had to leave for a Stark Enterprises meeting, but she made sure to give Peter a warm hug with instructions to call her when it was over. May and Happy sat on a bench outside the courtroom silently. Ned sat next to them with his head between his knees and May absently rubbing his back. Matt leaned on a wall near them, occasionally tapping his cane on the ground. MJ stood awkwardly beside him watching Peter. He was pacing back and forth rapidly, not able to calm his nerves.

“Peter, will you please sit down!” May snapped. “You’re making me really anxious.” Peter whipped around to face her.

“You’re anxious? You?! I could go to prison, May!” He hadn’t meant to shout at her, but his nerves were fried. It had been weeks of this and he couldn’t take much more.

“You’re not going to prison,” Matt said calmly.

“I appreciate the optimism Mr. Murdock but you can’t know that,” Peter said. Matt smirked and turned his head slightly again. He always had a look on his face that he knew more than he was letting on and it was starting to drive Peter crazy. He ran his hands through is hair and sighed. MJ walked up to him and put her hands on his shoulders.

“Peter, look at me,” she said calmly. “You have got to chill out. Mr. Murdock’s right, ok? Everything’s going to be fine. Right, Ned?” She turned to Ned for help, but he was doubled over on the bench breathing into a brown paper bag. She turned back to Peter and started to say something, but the courtroom door opened. Peter looked up to see Matt’s secretary, Karen Page walking out.

“Matt, they’re back,” she said. Matt nodded and straightened himself.

“Thanks, Karen.” He turned to Peter. “Ready, kid?” Peter took a deep breath and fixed his jacket. He nodded before he remembered Matt couldn’t see him.

“Yeah. Let’s go.”

The walk from the door to his seat seemed to last for miles. Peter could feel every eye in the courtroom on him as he made his way forward. To his left he spotted Flash Thompson, looking almost as nervous as Ned had. Other faces from his class were dotted around but he couldn’t focus on them. He made his way to the front of the courtroom and took his seat next to Matt. Shortly after he sat down the jury filed in silently. Peter scanned their faces looking for some sign of his fate, but none of them so much as looked at him. He wasn’t sure if that was good or bad. The bailiff made his way in next.

“All rise,” he called. Everyone stood at the judge entered and took her place on the bench. Peter’s mouth was dry and his hands were shaking. Why was everything happening so slowly?

“You may be seated,” she said. He sat back down and listened to the pounding of his heart in his ears. Sweat broke out on his brow and his hands were so clammy he thought he wouldn’t be able to stick to a wall if he tried.

“Members of the jury, I’m told you’ve reached a verdict?” The judge addressed the forewoman of the jury, a blonde woman in her mid-30’s, from what Peter could tell. She stood, holding a piece of paper in her hand.

“We have, Your Honor,” she answered. The bailiff stepped forward to take the paper from her before handing it to the judge. As she read it Peter desperately looked for some kind of reaction but she didn’t so much as bat an eye before handing the paper back to the bailiff.

“Will the defendant please rise?” Peter and Matt stood and he took a quick look behind him. His friends and family looked back at him with soft smiles and hope. He couldn’t help but wonder if this would be the last time he saw any of them without bars in between them. “In the state of New York vs. Peter Benjamin Parker, on the sole count of the indictment, murder in the second degree, how do you find?” Peter’s breath picked up and his vision blurred. The weight of what was about to happen was finally bearing down on him. What would he do if he went to prison? What would happen to May? He couldn’t leave her. Not after everything she’d been through. Matt’s hand on his shoulder broke his train of thought as the forewoman spoke.

“We the jury find the defendant not guilty.”

Anyone outside the courtroom would have thought a bomb went off. The sound of cheers and applause was deafening. May leapt across the railing and pulled Peter into a bone-crushing hug. Happy clapped him heartily on the shoulder and MJ reached out to take his hand. Ned fainted. Peter held tight to May and squeezed MJ’s hand. The tears he’d been holding back for weeks fell freely onto his aunt’s shoulders. Not guilty. He’d known he wasn’t a murderer the entire time, but hearing the jury say the words was like lifting the weight of Quentin Beck off of him. Barely audible above the roar of the crowd, Peter heard his trial finally come to an end.

“Members of the jury you are excused, and the state of New York thanks you for your service. Mr. Parker, you are free to go.” With a final bang of the gavel, it was over. Chants of “Spidey, Spidey, Spidey” rang out and Peter untangled himself from his aunt. He turned to Matt, who was packing his things.

“I told you,” he said simply, smiling. Peter grabbed him and pulled him into a hug.

“Thank you, Mr. Murdock,” he whispered. Matt patted him on the back and Peter let him go.

“It’s my job kid,” he answered. “Just try and keep your nose clean, yeah? Only the first one’s free.” Peter nodded and Matt smiled and left. May grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back into a hug. They cried into each other for a few moments before May pulled back, taking Peter’s face in her hands.

“Let’s go home,” she said softly. Peter nodded in agreement, unable to form words. They started to make their way out before MJ stopped them.

“Someone’s gonna need to scoop up Ned,” she said flatly. Peter turned around confused, only to find his best friend face down and unconscious on the floor.

“Oh crap, Ned!”
