Finally finished this.

Title: Habeas for Superheroes
Part: 12: Saving the Liebermans
Fandom: Daredevil/Punisher
Characters: Matt/Foggy, David/Sarah
Disclaimer: Now Disney owns them.
Warning: More discussion of general events from the Punisher backstory
Note: Third installment in my Femme!Foggy series.

( It was late in the evening when Foggy headed out to Queens for the second time that day. )

Title: Agent Murdock
Part: 14: Larry Cranston and Foggy Nelson
Fandom: Daredevil/Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Characters: Matt, Larry Cranston, Foggy
Disclaimer: Now Disney owns them.
Warning: Lawyers
Note: I originally came up with this idea and put it up on daredevilkink as a prompt before the second season, but after watching said season I decided to write it myself just to cheer myself up.

Matt's first day at Landman and Zack began with him just sitting around for half an hour in his new boss' office, while Larry Cranston kept him waiting.

Title: Lunches
Fandom: Daredevil/Jessica Jones
Characters: Karen, Trish
Disclaimer: Now Disney owns them.
Warning: This fic discusses or touches on a lot of things from both these women's lives as well as everything that happened in the MCU between Defenders and Spider-Man: Far From Home, including child abuse, drug use, murder, the Blip, the pandemic, and I forget what else
Note: If the Netflix writers weren't going to write Karen and Trish's friendship, the only thing to be done was for me to do it myself.

It was Trish who did all the work setting it up, that first time.

Title: Habeas for Superheroes
Part: 9: Other Attacks
Fandom: Daredevil/Avengers
Characters: Matt/Foggy, Marci, Karen, Ellison
Disclaimer: Now Disney owns them.
Warning: References to violence and murder
Note: Third installment in my Femme!Foggy series.

( It was late in the day, when she was reading her way through the indictment against Steve and noting all the mentions of Bucky Barnes by name, that it first occurred to Foggy to wonder why he hadn’t been charged with the others. )

I fancied when I came home today I would have a post to make about it. But honestly, I don't know what to make of it yet, so that is all I will say right now.
Meanwhile, I did do some writing this week, and discovered in the process that I had finished the next part of this some time ago without realizing I had done so. So I'll be posting that instead.

Title: Habeas for Superheroes
Part: 8: The Counterattack
Fandom: Daredevil/Avengers
Characters: Matt/Foggy, Marci, Jennifer Walters, Karen, Malcolm Ducasse, Jessica Jones
Disclaimer: Now Disney owns them.
Warning: Ross on TV again
Note: Third installment in my Femme!Foggy series.

( First message: They’re filing charges against Scott Lang’s girlfriend and her father just for inventing technology? Surely even the Accords can’t be used to call someone guilty by association. Second message: Another announcement from Ross tomorrow. )

I finished The Punisher today, finishing episode 11 before heading off to work, and getting through the rest on the way there, on the treadmill in the gym, and then on the way home, watching the final scene literally as I walked up the block to my house, through more snow on the ground than there was Wednesday morning. That also meant that this morning I said farewell to Karen Page, whom I believe is the third character in my life where I just got immersed in her mind as I wrote her, the first two being Stephen Maturin and Padme Amidala. I've got more ideas floating around in my head right now.
It didn't feel real, when the credits for episode 11 rolled. It feels like she should stride out of that hospital and go on to do more. But she’s a loss in the way most of the other characters aren’t. We can still get similar versions of Matt and Foggy and Fisk and all the other on the comic book page. Karen’s comic equivalent wasn’t much like her and has been dead 20 years.
So goodbye, the woman who wouldn’t stick her hand in the sand and let it happen to somebody else just because she was scared. Goodbye, the damsel who didn’t get in distress so much as stride furiously into it. Goodbye, the woman who was allowed to be angry, and reckless, and idiotic, without her story condemning her for it. Who didn’t have superpowers, but could get by on smarts and sheer nerve. Who is haunted by the mistakes of her youth, but hopefully will do more good than harm in the world. Who loved her vigilantes fiercely and loyally, but wouldn’t sacrifice her soul or her self-respect for them.
And who, to the end, was willing to sacrifice her shoes for a good cause. I don’t like everything about her final appearance, but that was a great note to end on. Goodbye, Karen Page. I’m rooting for you to get your happy ending, even if we don’t see it.

Got involved in a Karedevil secret santa exchange. This resulted.

Title: From Black Dust
Fandom: Daredevil
Characters: Matt/Karen
Disclaimer: Now Disney owns them.
Warning: Discussion of attempted suicides
Note: For beaucannon.

( If I show it to you now/ will it make you run away?/ Or will you stay? )

I suppose for the occasion it will do.

Title: The Epilogue
Fandom: Daredevil
Characters: Matt/Foggy/Karen
Disclaimer: Now Disney owns them.
Warning: Mostly fluff
Note: The fic I decided I would drop everything and write should Daredevil get canceled.

( A lot of times all three of them had wondered if Matt’s eight year old son had maybe inherited just a bit of his enhanced hearing. )

Well, he might have already been dead when the last one went up, but this is the one I wrote knowing it. William Goldman gone too. I don't even want to know who the third's going to be. Aristotle, Plato, Socrates...morons, compared to those two.

( Karen Page, Eight Days Later )

But first I was trying to figure out who to write next, then I was trying to figure out how to approach her ficlet, and meanwhile I was rather indignant at how the third season of Daredevil just dismissed Elektra when she'd seemed the more likely of the two people in the basement to survive a building collapse. Before that season dropped I'd intended to presume her killed in the snap, but if they killed her, I won't. So this ended up happening.
Also: GIP. Thought I'd never use that acronym again, but I snagged a pretty new nature icon from elasitcella

( Elektra Natchios, Four Days Later )

Finished Daredevil this morning, which left me fully relaxed for the first time in well over a week. I have a great amount of respect for how well this season was done in general, as well as for how the main trio has, though not without qualms on some of their particulars. Also generally happy. So I headed off, head buzzing but heart light, for the the second day of the annual Depository Library Conference.
It was only when I reached the hotel that I realized I'd left my conference bag at home. I was left trying to take notes at the sessions on the back of a handout I recieved at the first, hoping noone would bother me over my lack of name tag. A two hour lunch break saw him hurrying home to grab it, and I was lucky to catch train and bus immediately and even have time to make myself lunch and sit down with it. Also I was there to let in the cleaning service when they showed up earlier than anticipated; we would've been charged if they'd shown up to find noone home. The conference ends tomorrow morning, and I'm only going these two days. I have certainly learned a lot about digital documents online and how the Government Publishing Office is cataloging them and such.
Got home and caught up with the various Daredevil fics posted to AO3 since Friday. Plus started the next installment of my current series. Thankfully there's only one real contradiction between what I've written in that series so far and the events of the season, and I've already come up with a workaround for that which I think will enhance the story anyway.
