Summary
The Great War woke a devil in Matt Murdock. This is why he bare knuckle boxes. This is also why he cannot love Claire Temple. But when she runs afoul of some gangsters, Matt must involve himself or risk losing her entirely. Dancing around his feelings was far easier when death, his friends' well-placed meddling, and a corruption scandal weren't involved.

Summary
He kissed her. It wasn't fast or aggressive, he just leaned forward and kissed her because if he was going off this cliff, he might as well do a flip.

Summary
If this was what love was, if it was waiting with her breath held until she blacked out and the world lost meaning and she thought she would die, if it was waiting until Kylo came and breathed the air and color and light back into her…that was fine with Rey. She didn't know what it could be, otherwise.
(or, a story about how Kylo is something Rey must overcome.)

Summary
To Karen, things were either one thing or they were the other. Black or white morality ruled her life because it was clean cut and reliable. Even the soulmate system agreed—either you met your soulmate and everything was great because you could see color or you didn't. And then she met her soulmate. And then she realized it was James Wesley.

Summary
Hunk was fine being the team cook, but he didn't expect to also become the team therapist, solving problems one bit of advice and delicious meal at a time. He didn't really mind, though. After all, it was like his mom always said; good food filled the stomach and the soul.

Summary
It was hard sometimes. Helping Bucky claw his way back to humanity was hard. Existing after the brutal aftermath of everything was hard for Steve. Sometimes, just existing felt like pushing boulders up a hill again and again, only to watch them fall back down.

Summary
Everyone knows they have met their soulmate when they start seeing in color. Simple enough. And though Claire has the privilege of fishing her soulmate out of a dumpster and coincidentally discovering he's the actual Devil of Hell's Kitchen, it's still pretty simple.
Except, not so simple because Matt is blind. Which means he has no idea they're soulmates.

Summary
Natasha painted and framed pictures, and Clint did whatever to make ends meet. They were just normal people. Except for the fact that sometimes he picked locks and broke into businesses. And she definitely maybe was a retired con artist with a bounty set on her head by her unforgiving mentor and uncle.

Summary
Lying to her family about having a boyfriend seemed like a good idea to Felicity at the time. Hiring an escort to fake being her boyfriend seemed like less of a good idea, but Oliver was a reasonable fit and she didn't have time to think of anything else, so with an escort she went. Besides, it would only be for Thanksgiving.

Summary
Clint didn't know why he did it. He just did, he screwed up and he made horrible choices over and over and over. And that was fine. Until one day, he realized that he was buying prostitutes and ruining things and lying with his big, bright smiles because he was probably the most messed up person he knew.
