    Summary

    When nine-year-old Matt Murdock comes home DeafBlind, life isn't easy. Jack Murdock doesn’t have training. He doesn’t have answers. (He also doesn't die!)

    What he has is calloused hands, stubborn love, and the determination to help his son not only survive, but thrive.

    Trading Leather begins a series of vignettes. I’ve gone rogue and am thoroughly AU even from my own canon except for the fact that Matt is still DeafBlind (which is the one thing that seems to be holding my verse together). I started out this thinking it was a prequel to Idle Hands, but that changed pretty quickly.

    Yes, Matt and Foggy will eventually end up together romantically. All in due time. I'll change the rating to mature eventually. Right now, the main theme centers around the father-son dynamic. There will have to be a POV switch away from Jack at some point.

    Summary

    Foggy wishes he had something more interesting to talk about than cyclists and sharks and dessert samplers, but Matt doesn't really seem to mind.

    Featuring too many feelings, highly inept seduction attempts, domestic bliss, and Karen's uphill struggle in the name of true love.

    [Five times Foggy narrates something unnecessary for Matt, and one time Matt does it for him.]

    Summary

    (Foggy is always worried about Matt, nowadays.)

    For a prompt on the Daredevil kink meme:

    So Foggy tells Matt he loves him a lot, because they are that kind of friends, and Matt is used to Foggy's heart being totally steady and honest when he says it.

    Which is why, sometime after the Daredevil reveal, it breaks his heart when Foggy suddenly starts sounding like he's lying when he says it.

    (Full prompt in the preliminary note.)

    Summary

    Prequel (sort of… well, actually…not anymore …it is evolving into its own thing now) to The Devil's in the Details. Pre-series AU in which Matt is both blind AND deaf. It's the first week of law school, and Foggy Nelson—over-caffeinated extrovert with a savior complex—meets Matt Murdock—quiet transfer student with a white cane, ironed shirts, and secrets.
