Summary
Frank’s watched people stay before. Watched them tell themselves they could handle it. That love would dull his sharpness, the angle of his edges. It never does. It just gives him more chances to fuck it up.
Matt stays anyway.

Summary
Believe it or not, even the Punisher gets tired. Matt has a hard time really accepting that, because he can’t imagine Frank Castle willingly visits a gay sex club for his own enjoyment. It has to be something more, deeper, than common desire. Maybe, just maybe, he has to accept he doesn’t know the man all that well and as someone intimately familiar with self-penteince himself… it makes him want to find out.

How To Draw The Line, Between Wrath And Mercy? by myschiefsys
Fandoms: Daredevil (TV), Marvel Cinematic Universe

Summary
The Universe, Fate and Karma are very fickle things. Fate sees both who you were and the person you will eventually become. It knows whether you will bring harm to the world or make it a better place. Karma decides the punishment or reward depending on what Fate says. And the Universe carries it out. Whether that be making it so you trip down an unseen manhole because you laid hands on your wife or making sure you find a winning lottery ticket on the ground because you make sure to stand up for those without a voice.
or
there's a 1/10000 chance that you fuck up so badly the universe takes pity on you and lets you go back in time to fix it. matt's fuck up was getting shot in the head by frank because in this timeline, it wasn't a warning shot.

Summary
Matt hates words.
Which is ironic, because, y’know. Lawyer.
But being a lawyer is easy. There are pre-written scripts, certain things to say in certain situations. There are planning sessions over shitty Chinese food, pages and pages of notes for every scenario he can think of, and a comeback for everything the opposing counsel can throw at him.
So, no. Not words.
What Matt hates is the unpredictability of everyday conversation. His tongue trips over the most basic hellos, the simplest where-are-you-froms and the most mundane chats with over-enthusiastic cashiers.
(or, Matt struggles but everything works out at the end.)

Summary
Most of the time, Matthew was fine. He was a lawyer by day, he gave his hardest in the firm. He never missed a day at work, he wouldn't stand for letting Foggy and Karen down once again.
Most of the time, he was fine. He was a vigilante by night, he didn't stay out as much as he used too, as a promise he kept to his two friends. He saved people, he put others in jail, he tried to keep peace as much as he could in his little corner of the world.
Most days, Matthew was fine. He could ignore the white static buzzing through his head, the lack of appetite, the heaviness setting in his bones.
And then, there were days he couldn’t.Series

Summary
Foggy isn't scared of daredevil.
Daredevil and foggy's interactions look violent but that's not true at all. What looks violent is Matt being desperate to protect foggy"Foggy knows, and that makes everything both easier and harder.
It also makes him completely, irrevocably, 100% able to defy daredevil"
