Summary
Three weeks after Foggy wrote "Nelson, Murdock, and Page" on a new napkin, Matt, Karen, and Foggy are starting the new firm in the upstairs of Nelson's Meats. That means Matt can't put off moving back into his apartment any longer—an apartment that he may or may not have told Karen and Foggy he moved back into weeks ago.
It turns out, trying to sort out your affairs and come back to your old life after having a building fall on top of you, spending months recovering in a church basement, and being homeless isn't that easy. It's a little harder still when you're mentally unwell, sleep deprived, and blind.
Also... maybe Matt should have taken the whole hallucination thing more seriously.

Summary
I’ve made it a habit over the years to pressure people into adopting dogs or cats that they hit on the road, because it’s their fault that the animal got hit. I think they should have to take on responsibility for animals if they hit them. AITA?

AITA for saying I should be the top in the fanfiction written about me? by birdsofthesoul, PlaidIsTheBestPattern

Summary
Alright, let me preface this by saying I (43M) am not going to tell you who I am. I doubt literally any of you would know anyway. That said, I have some notoriety for reasons out of my control, and someone made me aware recently that fanfiction has been written about me and my brother and friends. Like… a lot of fanfiction. And I know I shouldn’t have looked at it, but one day I was stupid, and I did, and I was… disturbed.

Summary
A series of posts made by various Supernatural characters on a popular Reddit forum called r/AmItheAsshole where users go to ask other redditors to judge which party is the asshole in a dispute.
Judgements include: YTA = "You're the asshole", NAH = "No assholes here", NTA = "Not the asshole", and ESH = "Everyone sucks here".
The plots of these fics are not connected unless they are part of the same multi-chapter work. Each work in the series stands on its own.

It's no secret to anyone (not even Jeff himself) that Jeff has issues. He's vain, he's insecure, and he's obsessed with his image. His friends sometimes suck… but sometimes they help, too.

Foggy keeps the fact that he has cancer from Matt, but Matt figures it out, then kind of spirals about Foggy keeping it from him and what that means about their friendship that's been under strain for a long time.

Summary
Or: Four Times Matt and Foggy Pretended They Were Dating and One Time They Didn't.
--Okay, so maybe Matt wasn’t so much on board as he was being forced to improvise without any warning, because Foggy hadn’t actually told him the plan – this was also not something anyone could blame Foggy for. He was pretty sure Matt was against lying in any form because of the Catholic thing, so, of course, Foggy was forced to take the situation into his own soon-to-be-carrying-cheap-pizza hands.

Did not expect this to develop into a case fic in the middle. Very funny ending.

Summary
Traumatic brain injury. Brain damage. Severe, penetrating T.B.I.
Foggy listened to the words with a dull lack of comprehension. Maybe it was because Matt had always gotten back up. He’d been stabbed, shot, crushed under a building and still, he’d always gotten back up. More scarred. More damaged. But still irrevocably, stubbornly Matt Murdock.
Foggy couldn’t quite accept that this time, he might not.

Matt suffers a traumatic brain injury.

Matt in the hospital with a TBI stream of consciousness looping through his awareness slowly retaining more and more memories and understanding as he recovers. Frank is his personal bodyguard at the hospital (bonding over brain injuries) and there is a gutwrenching moment with Maggie wahhhh

Fascinating deep dive into the headcanoned particulars of the accident that blinded Matt and the lawsuit that could have/would have been, written by an actual lawyer (and you can tell you can absolutely tell).

Summary
"Matt," says Foggy, severely. "We are not some white suburban couple with marital issues. We cannot fix our problems by adding a child."
Or:
There is a child sitting on Matt’s couch. A living, breathing, human child, who represents all the pieces of Matt’s life that he’d rather forget.

Bookmarker's Notes
Absolutely gut wrenching picture of Matt’s childhood and the continuing systemic failure of institutions and ableism and other forms of prejudice with delightful comeuppance for some truly miserable shitheads in the end. Also excellent Matt&Foggy&Karen scenes. And MADE ME CRY MULTIPLE TIMES.
