This or these examples of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome seem to violate at least one of these rules, which disqualifies them: No character reactions (characters get angry, don't forgive, don't change their personality instantly, etc.); Too fantastical (depends on the properties of magic, powers, sci-fi tech, monsters, etc.); Not surprising (a character was warned about the outcome, it's used to provide Karma or An Aesop, or it simply follows normal conventions for this genre or medium); Plot happens (the example only describes an event, but not why audiences would expect a different, unrealistic outcome); Not an outcome (a character just explains why something wouldn't work as expected, or something is just an innate aspect of the setting or character that has a logical reason for being present); More of a Deconstruction (the event has major, lasting effects on the plot, make something more realistic, but not completely realistic, or a parody/fanwork applies realistic consequences to the events of a different work); or fits better under a different trope. See the trope's definition for more details. If you believe a removal was a mistake, please bring it up in the cleanup thread

An {{Alternate Universe}} fic to season 3 of ''Series/Daredevil2015''.
Matt Murdock is back from the dead, and has just learned that his archnemesis Wilson Fisk is out of prison. Knowing he can't take Fisk on all by himself, he decides to team up with the one person he knows who is as dogged and determined as he is to put the man back in prison: Karen Page. As Matt and Karen rebuild the romance they once had, they must also fight a lengthy battle with a man who is determined to destroy their lives, their livelihoods, and their friendships.

!!Tropes contained in this work
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Felix Manning is introduced and given a larger part much earlier than in the actual timeline. Here, he's the one that relays word to Fisk when Matt shows up at the prison to seek information on the Albanians.
* AscendedExtra: Compared to the original fic, many members of the protagonist and antagonist supporting cast get larger roles.
**Marci Stahl has more scenes and also has a mini teamup with Matt and Karen to clear Foggy's name.
**Brett Mahoney contributes more to the story, first appearing when Matt and Karen show up at the Presidential Hotel's courtyard (taking the place of a uniformed cop). Matt and Karen later visit him during Foggy's speech at the police union function to ask him for information on Jasper Evans.
**Fisk's fixer [[EvilBrit Felix Manning]] has an expanded role, filling many of Wesley's old duties.
**In a retroactive example, it's established that John Healy, the hitman that Matt and Foggy were hired through Wesley to defend in season 1, was responsible for killing Hattley's son.
* CrossOver: While the fic sticks only to characters from the Netflix Marvel shows, it's mentioned that the fic seems to take place in the same universe as ''Series/BlueBloods'' and ''Series/{{Billions}}'', as Karen compares Fisk to Bobby Axelrod at one point, and it's mentioned that Frank Reagan is the Police Commissioner.
* FriendsRentControl: Semi-averted. Rather than pay the rents on two apartments, Karen has decided to cut her losses and simply move into Matt's apartment.
* GladToBeAliveSex: Matt and Karen's first time having sex is after Karen gets back to the apartment upon finding Matt is alive and well.
* GoodFeelsGood: Karen is sexually turned on by pistol-whipping the catcallers on her way to visit the FDIC woman.
* InSpiteOfANail: Much of the fic works around existing plot points, so a fair number of scenes still manage to happen mostly intact.
* InternalReveal: Karen's admission to Matt about killing her brother and Wesley happens much earlier than in the actual canon (in the actual canon, the reveal happened after Dex's church attack; here, it's before Matt even goes to the prison)
* RealityEnsues: Unlike in the actual show, Foggy's District Attorney campaign and Marci's insistence on him making himself highly visible ends up backfiring horribly, as it just makes Fisk decide to target him much earlier than in the actual timeline.
* ShameIfSomethingHappened: Fisk turned Hattley by hiring Healy to kill her son, and then had Wesley pay a visit to her house and threaten her daughter.
* TwoLinesNoWaiting: The title of the story, and the cover photo, highlight that the fic is primarily told through the perspectives of Matt, Karen, and Fisk.
