Fic: 40/40 (Daredevil)
Oct. 4th, 2017 04:25 pmI am deeply enjoying being in a fandom where it is totally legitimate to have a character hit things with sticks (the sticks are CANON) as an expression of emotion. This is right bang-slap in the middle of my comfort zone, and I'm loving it.
Also, good heavens, this is a big fandom. And a very focussed one. It makes me think that this is what it would have been like if we'd had AO3 like we do now throughout the height of SGA. My hit/kudos stats are ridiculous. That's not just false modesty - I'm used to what the stats on Gen looks like, and I have no complaints about not getting my fic read. But. Yeah. This is definitely...different to the norm. It's fun, but. Yeah. Woah.
Anyhoo, I'm chuffed to bits with this fic, as it tackles three of my pet peeves with Daredevil fic:
1. Matt Murdock is blind. No, actually blind. Whatever his other senses are doing, he cannot see with his eyes.
2. His armour has a point. He's really kind of squishy, so as OTT as the armour might be it's deeply necessary.
3. Thor is not a moron. He's big and blustering and alien, but not stupid. I love the first Thor film and am crazy-excited for the third. The less said about the second, the better, although Darcy remains awesome in it.
It also contains what I consider some of my best 'character has a hangover' work, which considering I don't drink, I think is quite an achievement.
With that out of the way...
Title: 40/40
Author: Jadesfire
Rating/Warnings: T/None (only canon-style violence)
Pairings: None
Words: ~15,000
Summary:
It’s not all bad, being friends with an Avenger. Thor has some great stories, Asgardian Mead, and is handy for resetting dislocated joints. Also, Thor’s friends think Daredevil has the best eyesight in New York, and Matt certainly isn’t going to tell them otherwise.
My favourite bit:
"So," Matt said to Foggy, some time later, "this is going to be the story that begins, 'Let me tell you about the time I was nearly decapitated by Captain America.'"
Foggy choked on his beer.
