25	* Status: Dead, last updated February 2017
26	* Synopsis: This is how it is: the world goes down the toilet, aliens start dropping from the sky, and the oceans die all at once. Everything is poison and the poison is everywhere. What's left is nothing but echoes in the dust. But there they were—a co-dependent ex-lawyer-slash-doctor, a woman who cut out her own emotions with a knife instead of having to feel them, and a blind lobotomized ninja who couldn't put a sentence together to save his life. Family is what you make it.
27	* Notes: Part of the ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/series/417398 Of A Fractured Sky]]'' series.
28	* Comments: A well-thought out, beautifully envisioned crapsack world AU in which the aliens responsible for the "Incident" come back with a vengeance, leaving Hell's Kitchen (and much of the rest of the known world) as a post-invasion apocalyptic wasteland. Throw in a devastating virus that turns 99.9% of its victims into a walking feral creature with a four-month lifespan, and you've got the Sunshineverse. The story (and its ancillary shorts found on the author's Tumbler site) finds Foggy trying to survive and navigate the remains of New York while simultaneously patching Matt up and reteaching his best friend the most basic things, like language and emotion, because Matt has fallen victim to the aforementioned devastating virus that has rendered him mentally childlike and severely aphasic. A beautiful character study, and highly addicting.

34	* Synopsis: In the aftermath of season 2, Nelson & Murdock has closed, Elektra is dead, and Matt's confession to Karen didn't quite go according to plan. Jobless and at a loose end, Karen decides to rope Matt into sculpting, and he's a total savant (as always). Matt, Foggy and Karen soon come to believe that the art world has as many sharks as it does lawyers.
35	* Comments: This fic takes picks up at the end of season 2. It tries to resolve some of the loose ends from season 2: Matt's confession to Karen, Matt rebuilding his friendships with Foggy and Karen, the aftermath of Elektra's death etc., and speculate on one way Matt could become aware of his fellow Defenders ahead of the upcoming ''Series/{{The Defenders\|2017}}''.

40	* Synopsis: Wilson Fisk's indictment was good news for everyone...except the members of his legal team. When no one else will hire Marci Stahl, she's forced to take a job at Nelson & Murdock.
41	* Comments: Obviously retconned by season 2, but in fanfics centered around a character created just for the show, this two part work is pretty impressive. It's neat to see a Marci-centered work because there aren't many women like her being written about in any fandom, so far as I can tell. I'd imagine it's not easy to write self-centered characters sympathetically, but this work managed to pull it off in a way that makes her more human.

46	* Synopsis: Nelson & Murdock gets involved with helping a Muslim family just as a new surge of white supremacy makes its way to Hell’s Kitchen.
47	* Comments: This is basically what happens when you combine ''Daredevil'' with real-world issues like white supremacists and UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror. It's set between seasons 1 and 2, and as an added bonus, it goes the extra mile to avoid stereotyping foreigners and treat them as actual human beings with their own complexities. The way Matt bonds with the family, especially as one of the younger members is blind, is also very sweet and bound to bring a tear to your eye.

62	* Status: Ongoing
63	* Synopsis: A six part series of stories.
64	** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16565477 Part 1 - "I'm Not That Strong (Honestly, I'm Not)"]]: Foggy takes on a case involving child abuse and attempts to: a) protect Matt from further trauma; b) treat Matt like a child himself; or c) hinder Matt's personal growth - depending on whom you ask. Meanwhile, Matt runs into one of Stick's old pupils.
65	** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16665193 Part 2 - "Not Right Now"]]: - Matt works on some serious cognitive dissonance for the sake of helping six-year-old Ella.
66	** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16781866 Part 3 - "I'm Reaching Out"]]: Matt violates The List and crosses a line he never wanted to.
67	** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/16978887 Part 4 - "Candles"]]: Christmastime for the main characters. Short ficlet.
68	** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17019312 Part 5 - "Who Needs Air"]]: Matt finds himself on trial for murder. While trying to get his name cleared, Matt must protect his loved ones from a vengeful Dex.
69	** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/17537438 Part 6 - "Fully Known"]]: Someone is using a fear-inducing hallucinogenic drug against the criminals of Hell's Kitchen, and Matt is doing his best to deal with various Emotions.
70	** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/18323864 Part 7 - "You Are My Strength"]]: In the aftermath of Karen's actions in "Fully Known," Nelson, Murdock & Page scramble to play defense against whatever Fisk is planning. Recommended for anyone who wants to see Matt on trial for being Daredevil.
71	** [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/22480648/chapters/53716897 Part 8 - "Redeemed"]]: Certain that Dex could be better if he just got the right help, Matt convinces Foggy to take his case - despite pressure from the NYPD, the media, and the rest of the DA's office, and despite the fact that he has a new baby to take care of, and despite the fact that Dex's issues run a lot deeper than first suspected. At least Matt has help: from Foggy despite his reservations, from Karen who'll cause mostly the right kind of trouble (for once), and from Stick's other ex pupil who was the first to see that there's more to Dex than his crimes.
72	* Comments: This is a seven part series, which provides some very compelling high-stakes legal drama for those who want that from a lawyer like Matt.

75	* Recommended by: dmcreif
76	* Status: Complete
77	* Synopsis: What if the characters worked more as a team during the back half of season 3? AU fic
78	* Comments: This started as a Tumblr prompt asking how Nadeem's questioning of Karen after the ''Bulletin'' attack would've gone had Matt been Karen's lawyer in that scene instead of Foggy, then quickly evolved into an AU as more users chimed in with how this brought up several more opportunities to fix plot points neglected in season 3 because of time and pacing[[note]]One example being Matt's prison visit. Many of the commenters made note of how the prison fight wasn't even mentioned at all afterwards with the exception of a single remark when Nadeem questioned Foggy in episode 5. Here, the fight has lasting repercussions, as Nadeem is persuaded to look into it to find evidence that Matt is innocent. Fisk also uses the fact that Matt used Foggy's Bar ID to visit the prison to get Foggy placed under investigation by the Bar Association, making it hard for him to campaign[[/note]], different tactics by the main characters to pursue Fisk[[note]]Learning from Foggy about Fisk's plan to sell out his competition to the FBI and strongarm other gangs into paying him leads to Matt and Foggy going out to these gangs to warn them of what Fisk is doing[[/note]] as well as character beats.[[note]]Karen first confides to Matt, not Foggy, about Ellison firing her for refusing to give up Daredevil's name, which makes more sense as it's Matt's secret she's refusing to give up[[/note]] It leads there being more character moments between Matt, Karen and Foggy that were lost.

83	* Synopsis: Matt and Foggy's new client is a mother whose son was sexually abused by a Catholic priest. Post-season 3 fic
84	* Comments: This is a pretty dark fic, given the exploration of the Catholic church sexual abuse scandals through the lens of ''Daredevil''. It's also a slight AU in that 1) for fic purposes, Matt was abused by a priest as well. And the events of season 3 are slightly retconned to have Father Lantom survive that season, since this fic's subject would be too heavy to explore if Matt also had to deal with a new priest who doesn't quite understand him.

92	* Synopsis: Instead of a pathetic apology attempt disguised as a Christmas present, Matt had given Karen something so much more profound than an apology. A hundred questions and worries answered in two words and yet, a storm of a thousand more was born in that exhalation.
93	* Pairing: Matt/Karen
94	* Comments: Among the limited number of Matt/Karen shipping fics, this one stands out a bit. The characterization of Matt is spot-on, as someone who is done apologizing for who he is; while the author uses Frank Castle's conversation in ".380" to give an idea of how Karen is reacting to the reveal. And Karen's reaction is entirely in-character: upset, but understanding.

114	* Status: Complete
115	* Synopsis: Patching their lives back together, post season 2. Matt is left virtually friendless and cut off from human contact, so he starts chatting with Frank Castle, who seems to want Matt to find him. Frank and Matt chat, and sometimes it gets heavy. Matt also strives to repair his relationships with Karen, Foggy, the greater community, and his career. Divided into five fics:
116	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6456172 The Red and the Black - Conversations Between Vigilantes]]'': It's been a couple of months since Frank dealt with the Blacksmith and Matt came clean to Karen. Matt and Frank, the loneliest vigilantes, have a tacit ceasefire. They meet on rooftops periodically to talk to another breathing human, and it's turned into a ritual that means more than they'd ever admit. Some nights it gets heavy, some nights they discuss Taylor Swift.
117	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6525097 In the Interim]]'': In which we find out what Matt has been up to since the dissolution of Nelson & Murdock.
118	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6731173 Where Do We Go From Here?]]'' Matt finds Karen being attacked in an alley and swoops in to save the day. Turns out Karen can handle herself, and Matt, too. She's ready to let him back into her life, so Matt offers to take her on their second date, which was promised back during the Frank Castle trial. They discuss both where they are in their lives, their thoughts on Frank Castle, and their thoughts on Daredevil.
119	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9117193/chapters/20720887 More Conversations with Vigilantes]]'': "Conversations between Vigilantes" outtakes, post-credits scenes, deleted scenes.
120	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/10617867/chapters/23482410 Starting Over From the Middle]]'': When Matt and Frank try to take down a new player pushing drugs in Hell’s Kitchen, they end up getting dosed by the very product they were trying to eradicate. Cuts, bruises, cracked ribs? Not a problem. A drug trip making them relive the most intense moments of their lives? Too much. Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk has set out to wreck the life Matt is piecing back together. [[Fanfic/StartingOverFromTheMiddle Trope page here]].
121	* Pairing: Matt[=/=]Karen
122	* Comments: These fics are mostly MCU but incorporate a generous dash of comics elements or details, while striving to maintain realism. The author succeeds greatly at this, fleshing out Frank Castle's character to provide more backstory, while also providing a believable reconciliation effort between Matt, Foggy and Karen.

128	* Synopsis: Battlin' Jack Murdock only wanted his daughter to make something of herself, but he didn't live long enough to see Mattie make it to Columbia University, and beyond. Instead, on her first day of undergrad, she met the boy next door, Foggy Nelson, and over the years, she became Daredevil: the Woman Without Fear. An AU series with a {{Gender Flip}}ped Matt Murdock (renamed Matilda "Mattie" Murdock), currently comprised of the following works:
129	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5802028 The One Constant]]'': Mattie and Foggy in law-school.
130	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/5991079 Not Done Growing Up]]'': More scenes from the lives of Mattie Murdock and Foggy Nelson, as they try to figure out this whole "adult" thing. A series of non-linear one-shots leading up to the start of Season 1.
131	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/7340275 These Precious Things]]'': It should be perfect: Mattie and Foggy have a home in their old neighborhood, an office for Nelson & Murdock, and even a wedding date. But Hell's Kitchen is falling into crime and corruption, and the fight against it is being written in blood and broken bones. There's a man at the top, and there'll be hell to pay when Mattie finds him. An AU for season 1.
132	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8309677 All the Days of My Life]]'': The Nelson-Murdock wedding (and associated events), featuring appearances by burlesque dancers, strippers, the Rite of Marriage, Train, and a whole lot of saying "I love you."
133	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/9838697 The Road to Hell]]'': There are a lot of people Mattie could blame for her current predicament. The Hand. Stick. Elektra. Frank Castle. But Mattie knows she really has no-one to blame but herself. An AU for season 2.
134	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/10148306 Phoenix Burning]]'': Mattie and Foggy have just settled into a fragile peace in the wake of the Hand's attack on Hell's Kitchen, when Wilson Fisk starts to make good on his threat to dismantle their lives. As his attacks tear down everything around them, they're forced to cling tighter to each other and to the people who care about them in order to fight back. An adaptation of the comics' ''ComicBook/BornAgain'' storyline.
135	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/10878141 Tenderness]]'': Mattie is less than impressed with how the miracle of pregnancy is affecting her body.
136	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/11104557 There's No Place Like]]'': Jessica Jones is hired to find a missing girl in upstate New York, and decides to bring Mattie along, if only so Mattie can keep her awake on the drive up.
137	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/11833671 Ships that Pass]]'': Mattie meets someone from her past.
138	** ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/13307325 Family is Where You Find It]]'': An earthquake shakes New York. An architect goes missing. And Mattie's ex-girlfriend comes back from the dead. An AU for ''Series/{{The Defenders\|2017}}''.
139	* Comments: This author is very good at telling a story that combines the existing works with things from the comics in a way that makes sense. ''Precious Things'', the AU retelling of season 1, is what drew me in, and is very notable, because in most stories where the author changes some massive aspect of the story, like a character's gender, that's all they change. It's like rewatching the show again only with different pronouns for that character. Not ''These Precious Things'', though, which is what got this troper hooked in. It shows how changing a gender actually changes quite a lot about the plot: the work pretty much maintains the core of the season 1 story, but it introduces a lot of new characters, a number of characters that were killed in the actual show instead live or vice-versa, while some actions undertaken by one character instead get taken by another. These little differences end up making a huge impact on the narrative.[[note]]Just to name a few examples: 1) Nelson & Murdock refuses rather than accepts Wesley's check when he comes to hire them on John Healy, so a different crooked attorney gets him. This means that Mattie gets Fisk's name by beating up Hoffman instead. So as a result, the sniper that wounds Blake also kills Hoffman. Healy is later sent to kill Blake, but Mattie stops him, and consequently also brings Brett Mahoney in on the Fisk investigation. Healy, Blake and Owlsley thus all survive to sell out Fisk. 2) Foggy doesn't follow Karen when she goes out at night to talk to Elena, so the guys that jump her manage to break her ankle before she can mace them. This leaves Karen on crutches, so it's Brett and Foggy who interview Fisk's mother instead of Ben and Karen, and it's Foggy, not Karen, who ends up killing Wesley. 3) Fisk lures Mattie into Nobu's trap not by having Elena killed, but rather by burning down her building.[[/note]] It even does a good job weaving in characters from the other shows (especially the ''Jessica Jones'' cast).

146	* 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 is also another fic that sees Karen coming clean about Wesley's death, as well as exploring an interpretation of what exactly Matt's feelings for Elektra. It is obviously non-compliant with the events of ''Series/{{The Punisher\|2017}}''.

187	* Comments: Part 1 of the ''Fanfic/TheMakingOfMonsters'' fanfics. ''The Price of War'' is an astonishingly well-plotted, evocatively written amazing epic of a read. It adds enormous depth to a surprising number of the characters, while introducing or tying in quite a few others, and manages to subvert a number of the rather shallow characterizations and stereotypes that some of the supporting cast on the show fell victim to. Well worth the time to read it!

201	* Synopsis: “I would not be surprised if it was love that brought on these developments. You feel very deeply, Foggy; it is entirely possible that it has opened your power to deeper perception,” Professor X says.
202	::How very Hallmark. But Foggy hasn’t fallen in love with anyone new since high school. Definitely not in the last year. Definitely not in his dorm room.
203	::Mutant AU In which Empath!Foggy is super open about his not-so-superpowers, and Matt is not. Dumbass.
204	* Pairing(s): Matt/Foggy, Foggy/Marci
205	* Comments: This story does a great job of balancing the humor inherent in Foggy's point of view, the angst of Foggy revealing his powers when Matt did not, and the romance that develops when Foggy's burgeoning powers bring him closer to Matt. Overall, it's just a lot of fun.
206	* Warnings: Mild, brief NSFW content between Foggy and Marci in Chapter 1.
