DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN | 2.08

Title: To Build A Home

Fandom: Daredevil

Relationship: Matt Murdock/Karen Page

Summary:

She knows the second they run out of time. Matt reaches for her fingers, gripping them so tightly it hurts. Her hand settles over the top, gripping his just as fiercely. Already she can see the laughter lines fade from his face, his mouth firm. Dread fills her stomach as the multi-coloured fairy lights above them twinkle with the promise of a life they don’t get to have.

Karen wishes more than anything for more time.

Karen spirals but both her and Matt are fighting for each other.

(An expansion of THAT date scene in the s2 finale and speculation from there.)

Title: The Devil and The Dark

Relationship: Matt Murdock/Karen Page

Summary:

“It was just a nightmare.”

“You were screaming like it wasn’t.”

She winces, dry throat cracking like splintered glass. She didn’t want him to see this. To see her like this.

Broken and damaged and so fucked up she is shaking. The scars of her soul, the things she can’t escape. She knows Matt is sensing it all, cataloguing it in his mind like she’s braille he can run his fingers over.

Title: One More Night

Rating: E (Oodles of smut in this one)

Relationship: Matt Murdock/Karen Page

Summary:

“I can’t just…” His whole body sways as if it physically pains him to finish that sentence.

The heat presses against her skin, “You’ve had one night stands before, right?”

Matt’s knuckles turn white, “Not like this. Not with you.”

“Or we can just go back to pretending?” She offers, pressing her thighs together to emphasise her point, “Just let it build and build and build until it explodes and we end up right back here without the rules or boundaries to keep us safe.”

“Safe?”

“From each other.”

He flinches.

During a record-breaking heatwave, Matt and Karen have no choice but to confront the sexual attraction they still feel towards each other when things come to a head at the office. They come up with an agreement, one night to get it out of their systems and then back to normal. Except just one night isn't what either of them wants and admitting that might just break their newly built friendship.

Matt making it painfully obvious both physically and vocally that he does not approve of his wife leaving his side.
