* Pairing: Matt / Karen
* Synopsis: In the days following the events of ''Series/TheDefenders2017'', Karen is trying to resign herself to the fact that Matt is gone, until she receives some shocking news.
* Comments: Written by an author that, feeling bad for Karen and Foggy and the place they're in post-''Defenders'', felt Matt should inform them that he's alive as soon as he's recovered enough to contact them, as well as dig into Karen's feelings, and bring her and Foggy back together with Matt. It also attempts to resolve a lot of the issues that Matt and Karen will have to resolve in ''Daredevil'' season 3, including Karen coming clean about Wesley's death, as well as interpreting what Matt's feelings for Elektra are. It is obviously non-compliant with what Karen is doing during the events of ''Series/ThePunisher2017''.
