Summary: Matt and Elektra, a world away from New York.

The last time he came at Elektra’s bidding was in the cabin of a private plane, somewhere high over the Atlantic. Elektra spoiled him - she anchored him - the weight of her hand and the heat of her mouth something for him to cling to while his roots were ripped out, while his city fell further and further away.

Relationships: Matt Murdock/Karen Page
Characters: Matt Murdock, Karen Page
Additional Tags: Post-Season/Series 02, Canon-Typical Violence, Reconciliation, Voyeurism, (in the sense that Karen gets turned on watching Matt fight), Wall Sex
Summary: It’s a short clip, but it’s a good one. Karen can see the Devil’s grin, that wide, dangerous thing. She can hear his huffing, grunting breaths, and his animal roar when the offender tries to slip away. She can see that he has no interest in being careful. She can see that he doesn’t want to stop.

Karen sees someone who understands.

Online, everything Matt ever hid from Karen is only click away. After Matt’s confession, she watches videos of Daredevil fighting, and finds his rage and violence turn her on; when he fights an attacker right in front of her, it’s no different.

And Karen’s done with things being hidden away.

(For this kinkmeme prompt.)

I worked on this one for a long time, and am kind of really pleased with how it came out. :-)

Summary: The letter Foggy gets from Matt is typed, with an uphill, printed M a t t beneath the Sincerely at the bottom. Everyone’s kind of jealous that Foggy gets to pen pal with an actual local celebrity and genuine hero, and he ends up folding the letter about fifty times to make it as tiny as absolutely possible before stuffing it way down in his pocket. Because Matt’s not to be gawked at. Because Matt’s his.

[For the prompt: bby!Foggy making a Valentine's card for his penpal who lives at the local orphanage, bby!Matt.]

Summary: It won’t be long now - she’s on the stairs. Her feet are light and quick; her heart’s thrumming fast. Elektra’s blood has become part of his lexicon, a new point of reference for words like dazzling. For bright.

(Matt, Elektra, and the language of bodies.)

Relationships: Matt Murdock/Franklin "Foggy" Nelson
Characters: Matt Murdock, Franklin "Foggy" Nelson
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - College/University, Matt Murdock and Foggy Nelson at Columbia, Established Relationship, Hand porn
Summary: Matt’s lips quirk as he complies, like he’s just humoring Foggy, but the instant Foggy sandwiches one frosty hand between his own toasty ones, a soft little sigh slips out. And Foggy goes to work, letting the heat from his left palm bleed up into Matt’s while using his other hand to give Matt’s fingers the royal treatment, starting with the knuckle of his index finger and making his way down, joint by joint, gently massaging and warming every inch of skin.

[For the prompt: I'd love to see something with Matt having really sensitive hands...and Foggy shamelessly enjoying the fact that he does.

Good ol' fashioned hand porn!]

(This one was written as a treat in the Santa exchange - I loooooved the prompt, and also had a sneaking suspicion the prompter might have written my own gift :) I just wish I'd had time to do more!)

significantowl: trees and a road in the snow (p:snowy road)
Here are my fics posted in 2016! Although actually, I'm going to begin with one that was posted in an anon exchange in Dec 2015, and just didn't get attributed til 2016:

Turn the Handle, Turn the Key (3815 words)(Daredevil, Matt/Claire, T). “Clock’s ticking,” Claire says. “Gonna tell me what this is about?”

That clearly requires a struggle. He lifts a hand, drops it back down to his knee, sighs. “You lawyers,” she says. “You're used to having a captive audience to make your points to, aren't you? Tougher when you have to respect other people's time, right?”

Foggy makes a pained face. “Boundaries. I'm trying to - okay, respect your boundaries wouldn’t actually be a fair statement, since I'm about to step all over them, but I'd like to do that lightly, at least. Tiptoe, can you let me tiptoe, Claire?

[For a "Matt/Claire + Foggy, wooing by proxy" prompt]


A Simple Shift of Water (5097 words)(Daredevil, Matt/Foggy, E). “Two options, Matt. We do it right here with a bucket and sponge, or we do it in the bathtub, the way God intended.”

“And door number three?”

“Ah, that's where I chase you around my apartment with a washcloth, and we get dirt and water and blood everywhere.” Foggy pauses, breath gusting in, gusting out. “Door number three is everybody's least favorite door, buddy. Let's skip it.”

[For a prompt at the Daredevil Kink Meme: OP wanted Matt being bathed at least partially against his will, but was okay with him starting to enjoy it midway through. Spoiler: he definitely starts to enjoy it ;)]


Bring the Sunshine Out (2693 words) (Daredevil, Matt & Karen, Matt & Claire, Matt/Foggy, T). For a Matt Murdock Mouth Appreciation prompt.

Matt's mouth is worth a look or three, and Foggy, Karen, and Claire give it its due.


Field Conditions (3926 words) (Daredevil, Matt/Foggy, M). In which Foggy takes in a little bit of law, a lot of alcohol, and gets cuddled by a human koala.

(For a kinkmeme prompt requesting a Matt who can't keep his hands off Foggy when he's drunk.)


Same Time Tomorrow (2986 words) (Daredevil, Matt/Elektra, E). Matt doesn’t let Elektra touch his stupid tie, not this time. She’s already wrapped around him almost everywhere it counts, hips and thighs and dick and balls. She’s curling through his lungs, she’s in every breath, but he can’t take her around his neck, too. He just can’t.

Or: the next time Elektra picks Matt up for a night on the town, she's a little more thorough when it comes to his wardrobe.

(For a "boys in panties" prompt on the kinkmeme.)


Every Inch of Stone (25168 words) (Merlin RPF, Bradley/Colin, E). Inspired by the video diaries from the first series. Pierrefonds is full of history, and history is full of very strange things. Trust the very strange Colin Morgan to get thoroughly mixed up in them - and bring Bradley right along with him.


For Everything That's Burned (925 words) (Daredevil, Matt & Claire, T). Claire finds him with his hands laced behind his head and his face pressed to his knees, trying to pull the freshness of cotton and synthetic brightness of laundry detergent into his lungs.

She does that now, drops by on random days, at unpredictable hours. Checking in, checking up.


Like a Lightning Strike (6600 words) (Daredevil, Matt/Foggy, E). It would be easy to blame the beers Matt's already had for his dulled reaction time, but it would also be a lie. The real trouble is the heat in Foggy’s blood; Matt’s basking in it like a housecat before a fire, and it’s wrong, wrong, wrong, to enjoy anything so drenched in anger.

In which Matt gets hit on, Foggy gets protective, and a somewhat pathetic bar fight ensues. The swollen fist Foggy gets out of it doesn't feel great; Matt isn't great with Foggy getting hurt on his behalf.

It helps that they handle it all together.

(For a kinkmeme prompt.)


To Hold or to Break (4112 words) (Daredevil, Matt/Claire, E). Been a while since Matt heard a knock at his door; been even longer since he answered one. But Claire’s heartbeat and her breath drew him over, a compass needle to a pole, and the rock-steadiness with which she stood made the rest easy. A choice taken out of his hands.

(for the "gags" square on my Daredevil Bingo card)


For the Ages (3415 words) (Daredevil, Matt/Foggy, T). “A costume party?” Matt says, when Foggy broaches the topic over dining hall lunch. His eyebrows arch over his glasses in a way that says doubt, but his lips quirk in a way that says I'm listening.

Sometimes Matt forgets that a facial expression is a sum of many parts, and about all the parts his pretty face contains. Foggy couldn't forget a single one if he tried.

(for the "Maverick and Goose" prompt on my Daredevil Bingo card)

...wow, ten fics, plus some tumblr ficlets! Really pleased with that. The Daredevil fandom and kinkmeme has been good for me, and I always write more in fandoms where I multiship, I think.

Very proud of having finally finished a wip (that Merlin RPF) that I'd been working on for seven years. (7!) I don't re-read my fics often, but I was skimming a couple of my DD fics the other day, and I'm kinda proud of some of the prose in there, too.

Goals for 2016: I have two more wips lingering on Ao3, and one on a kinkmeme. Definitely want to make a dent in those. And I have a DD bingo card that needs some attention, too.

Happy New Year!

So much fic to write! So little time!

Biggest fic-writing obligation of the moment is my Daredevil Secret Santa fic, due December 20th. Currently 994 words (minimum 1k! Yes!), very unfinished, very odd. But I still have hope for it? (and if it goes terribly, fairly sure I can adapt it into a PWP without too much fuss. also fairly sure my recip would be down with that.)

Still plugging along at the wips... I have a mcfassy one that's autumn-related which I was hoping to get done by Thanksgiving (oops), plus another mcfassy one, a sort of Wonderfalls fusion. Then there's also a Daredevil fic languishing half-written on the kinkmeme.

All of these fics have hit the stage of [insert sex scene here]. And while I can bounce from wip to wip with other kinds of scenes easily, I can't so much with those.

And then there's the bingo card!

Image

I have a pretty solid (if pretty ridiculous) mattfoggy idea for Ten Commandments. Still coming up empty for "voyeurism" and "like a champ".... (help? have written/can write mattfoggy, mattclaire, mattelektra, mattkaren).

Also, the fact that it's December tomorrow means I am MORE THAN READY to write all the holiday words... jonesing to reblog some kind of wintry tumblr fic meme and just fluff fluff fluff.

“And what should I do?”

Lips curving, James moved in for kiss. It was slow, long, and just a little dirty, James’ tongue slipping in Michael’s mouth like a promise, his thumb rubbing over the nape of Michael’s neck when he finally pulled away. “Sit on the sofa,” he murmured. “Sit like you would’ve done in my theatre.

More Daredevil! Because I am down that rabbit hole, friends. Way down.

Better In Pieces (4875 words) by igrockspock. (Daredevil, Claire/Matt, PG).The problem with Matt getting armor is that Claire never sees him anymore -- until she's the one who needs help.

Matt and Claire, learning how to navigate the waters when it's not Matt who needs patching up, but Claire who needs a little emotional support. I loved watching their relationship shift and grow, and I loved how incredibly real it all felt.

We Mean It, But I Promise We're Not Mean (8415 words) by patster223. (Daredevil, Matt & Karen, PG). “I want you to teach me to fight,” Karen says again.

“And what makes you think that I can teach you?” Matt says. His mouth attempts something like a smile -– bland, innocent, no Daredevil here, nope, not me -– but it’s more of a grimace than anything else.

God, he is such a bad liar.


This is the post-season one Karen-finds-out fic I needed. Love Karen's characterization, this exploration of her relationship with Matt, everything.

terra incognita (1561 words) by plastiswafer. (Daredevil, Foggy & Matt, PG). Here's the other thing: Foggy is a goddamn sucker, most especially and most potently where Matt Murdock is concerned."Let me get this straight," Foggy says. "An old blind man named Stick used to smack you around. When you were nine. With a literal stick."

And here is the concerned-and-full-of-righteous-indignation Foggy fic I needed. Pitch perfect.

breaking, better, can't be fixed (3910 words) by HereThereBeFic. (Daredevil, Foggy & Matt, unrated but probably PG?)
blood and pain and guilt do not seem like productive things to introduce into this situation

(and yet.)
For a prompt on the Daredevil kink meme: "comforting-after-nightmares is one of my favourite h/c-tropes and I am very sad that a fandom that has two guys who were roommates, one of which with enough issues to give him at least a few nightmares doesn't have one, yet."

The first three are the kind of fics that'll make you feel better about canon, let out a satisfied sigh; this one's satisfying too, but it's also going to leave you aching. It's so real and true and good.

Ahhh, oops, last week of October and I haven't done a single Rectober post yet. Can I fit them all in this week? LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

And why not kick things off with some porn?

Blueberry jam this morning (2906 words) by zombieboyband (XMFC, Charles/Erik, NC-17). Erik does not understand sex relationships. Charles is bossy. Power, pleasure, equality. "Oh, not that one," Charles says languidly from the bed, still not having gotten up, "The other one, the one to my left, that sweater's my favorite."

One of my all-time favorite XMFC fics. This Charles and this Erik feel so, so right to me for early-XMFC canon. And the language,the gentle humor, Charles' bossiness, Erik's poor deluded murderous sweetness... <333

appreciative listener, by Ceebee. (Daredevil, Matt/Foggy, NC-17). For the prompt: "Foggy touching himself and Matt being forced to listen but not allowed do anything about it."

So I just started reading Daredevil fic a little while ago! And so far I'm finding it to be a land filled with hurt/comfort, sensory play, coming in pants, and Matt Murdock wanting to do what he's told in bed. This one hits that last mark very nicely indeed.

Tell You My Sins (6953 words) by poisonivory. (Daredevil, Foggy/Matt, NC-17). "Not always, but lately, since I’ve started...Daredevil, everything, I’ve need certain...certain things to, to, uh, get off.”

When Matt and Foggy first get together, the sex is one-sided for a while. Foggy fixes that. (Kink exploration, relationship negotiation, and a wonderful Foggy voice.)

move like u stole it, by Ahavaa (Daredevil, Foggy/Matt, NC-17). "No?" Matt had asked, and scratched at the half-healed scab along his ribs. "I dunno, it seemed like - cheating, I guess? I never needed one, nobody ever complained."

"Oh my god," Foggy said. "Cheating. Yeah, like fire is cheating? I mean, Matt, this is tragic, I guess we could still eat our meat raw off - animal bones, sure, whatever, but a steak is so much better than raw meat."


So it turns out I really like happy porn with these guys, and this is fluffy delightful in-character first-time-with-vibrators porn. ♥

as good as blessed, by kay_cricketed (Daredevil, Foggy/Karen/Matt, NC-17). Matt comes home to his family, and they do their best to make a case that it should always be that way.

Their best involves driving Matt to beg.


The Matt voice is so, so good, and the whole thing is a perfect balance of hot and wistfully sweet. (Also sensory play and Matt wanting to do what he's told. GOOD THINGS.)

First, my remix!

I Saw A Blackened Ruin (The Across a Distant Sea Remix) (1243 words) by significantowl
Fandom: X-Men: First Class (2011), X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Relationships: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Regency, Alternate Universe - Jane Eyre Fusion, Implied Erik/Magda, Mental Instability, Telepathy, Vows, Alternate Universe - Still Have Powers, Jamaica, Remix
Summary: Charles stands with his hand clasped in his husband’s long grip, smiling at well-wishers until his face aches. Until the crowds begin to thin, and the bells die away, and his ears begin to catch on the lonely cries of the gulls.

(Erik is Rochester, Charles is Bertha Mason, and sometimes vows must be forged anew.)

Notes: This is a remix of panzercat‘s fantastic i saw a blackened ruin, which centers on the ending of Jane Eyre, if Erik was Rochester and Charles was Bertha Mason. I tried to focus on Charles’ story, about his telepathy, about what made him who he is, and about his and Erik’s life as newlyweds in Jamaica. I was thrilled to be assigned to panzercat​, I love his writing, and I loved having the chance to write this! ♥


Next, a wip I've begun updating again because it's nearly complete!

Every Inch of Stone (10305 words) by significantowl
Chapters: 3/6

Characters: Bradley James, Colin Morgan, Angel Coulby, Katie McGrath
Additional Tags: First Time, Slow Build, Hurt/Comfort, mentions of religion/faith, Historical References, Rating will change
Summary: Inspired by the video diaries from the first series. Pierrefonds is full of history, and history is full of very strange things. Trust the very strange Colin Morgan to get thoroughly mixed up in them - and bring Bradley right along with him.

Notes: I started writing this fic in 2009, oh my god. My very first rpf! I'm working on the last chapter now. I plan for it to all be posted before the end of the summer! So many thanks to albymangroves & capricciopia for their help <3

Remix!

Remix Redux is open! And I was remixed!

Drowning (the knowledge is not wisdom remix), by Anon (XMFC, Charles/Erik, T, ~1200w). The remixer took a tiny ficlet of mine and made a lovely, painful, oh-so-Erik story that I encourage everyone who's into XMFC to read!

I have one story in the main collection this year. I didn't manage anything for Madness this year - I usually do, so a little bummed about that. (The remixing period was so short this year! If I'd known before Saturday night that it was going to close Monday instead of Sunday, I think I probably would have, but I was afraid of getting started and not finishing, so I didn't write earlier on Saturday when I could have, and meh :/ But anyway!)

Lots of great stuff to read in both collections! /dives back in

ETA: I got remixed during Madness!! I was so surprised - I thought the collection was already closed!

The Beginnings of Belief (The Believe in Beginnings Remix, by Anon. (XMFC RPF, James/Michael, T, ~2300w). Gorgeous description, feels-just-right dialogue - it's such a satisfying read and I'm so happy it exists! ♥
significantowl: cotton field at sunset (p:home sweet)

The X-Men Treat Yo Self Exchange is no longer anon, so I can say I wrote this bit of Charles/Erik sort of fairy tale-ish AU-ness!

In the Telling (1725 words) by significantowl

Chapters: 1/1

Fandom: X-Men: First Class (2011), X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

Rating: Teen And Up Audiences

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Relationships: Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier

Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Fairy Tale, ish, Alternate Universe - Still Have Powers, Fairy Tale Elements, Powerful Charles, Telepathy, Canon Disabled Character

Summary: All tales grow in the telling, and tales of the woods more so than most.

The stories vary on all points but two: Everyone returns alive. Everyone returns changed.

Erik sets out in search of the truth, and finds Charles.

Many thanks to awfullythick and cygnaut for modding the exchange, to capricciopia for holding my hand, and to everyone at the fest for being such a supportive community!

Winter Calls (1181 words) by significantowl
Fandom: Merlin (TV)
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon (Merlin)
Characters: Merlin (Merlin), Arthur Pendragon (Merlin)
Additional Tags: Reincarnation, Ice Skating, Hiking, Fluff and Angst, Mild Angst, Winter, Modern Era
Summary:
No more crossbows, no more hand-sharpened spears; now Arthur had a complicated GPS orienteering app on his phone, all-weather hiking boots, a pocket knife with more blades and functions than one man could possibly need, and mirrored sunglasses that, more than all the rest, annoyed the bloody hell out of Merlin because they kept him from seeing Arthur’s eyes.

Day 2

In your own space, create a list of at least three fannish things you'd love to receive, something you've wanted but were afraid to ask for - a fannish wish-list of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your wish-list if you feel comfortable doing so. Maybe someone will grant a wish. Check out other people's posts. Maybe you will grant a wish. If any wishes are granted, we'd love it if you link them to this post.


This is hard :D

1. We all want more comments, don't we? Kudos and likes are very nice, but there will always be something special about hearing someone's reaction to your work in words <3

2. Doctor Who recs! (And self-recs!) Specifically Eleven/River and Twelve/Clara.

3. I think I've read every sick!fic and "Cerebro gives Charles migraines" fic in the XMFC/DOFP fandom, but I will never EVER stop craving more ♥

I think the last time I tried this, I got maybe two days done. /facepalm Let's see what happens this time!

Day 1

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator.


And it was interesting, going back to see what I'd chosen the last time I did this meme; I still think those choices are very me, but they're all firmly PG, and dance along the edges of shipping, and that's not what I write the most of, these days.

So - three fics!

+ You Make Me Drop Things (The Hold Tight, It's Just Beginning Remix) (XMFC, Charles/Erik, PG, remix of [personal profile] luninosity's gorgeous You Make Me Drop Things (Like All The Plans I Had Made For A Life Without You)).

Charles doesn't count the small, sweet lines at the edges of Erik's mouth, nor the finer, lovelier ones at the corner of his eyes. Nor does he count the sources from which they spring, the quick quirks of Erik's lips, the slow, spreading smiles which reach his eyes, or those tinged with worry or exasperation.

Charles has an eidetic memory, but there are things he doesn't choose to count.

+ Pace is the Trick (XMFC, Charles/Erik, NC-17).

For this prompt at xmen-firstkink:

Charles and Erik are stuck in a small enclosed space together, (air duct? broom closet? locker? etc.) "Bad guys" have just entered their general vicinity and Erik clamps a hand down over Charles' mouth. It's not safe to move/let alone breathe, (the "bad guys" are just settling in), and with Charles' back pressed tight against his front, Erik's body can't help but react.

First time. Painfully slow, desperate, lots of neck biting, telepathy, and Erik's hand never leaves Charles' mouth.

+ Home Together (The Finding Our Way Remix) (XMFC, Charles/Erik, PG, remix of [personal profile] kageillusionz's wonderful Home Together.

Erik is not the sort of person other students strike up conversations with. His expression, his posture, every part of his manner say: Don’t talk to me. I don’t want to talk to you. But none of that stops the boy ahead of him in line with the collapsible white cane, and nothing can stop Erik from falling for him, like it or not.

- Last time around, I chose fics that I'd agonized over for months and months; this time, it's three fics that somehow came out sweet and easy, each in the course of about a week. Both can say something interesting about the kind of writer you are, I think. And here we have remixes! Frottage! Cliches! ... Yep, very me :-D
significantowl: quote, "we're at hte end of the universe! right at the edge of knowledge itself! and you're busy blogging!" (dw:blogging at the end of the universe)
And to wrap up Rectober, two perfect fics for Halloween night. I'm afraid to say too much about either of them; there are twists and turns in each that I don't want to spoil. Just read them. Check the warnings, and read them. ❤ ❤ 

The Haunting on Graymalkin Lane, by keire-ke. (XMFC, Charles/Erik, PG). No man peeks through the veil that separates the dead from the living, from either end, if there is another end. If, however, people are superstitious enough to hire Erik Lehnsherr to repair noisy staircases and draughty windows while paying him to rid their house of ghosts, he would be mad to disabuse them of their beliefs. No matter how many times Mr Marko crosses himself when he utters the address Salem Centre, 1407 Graymalkin Lane, Erik refuses to believe there are ghosts residing there.

Mrs Bletchly & the Sloe Gin Massacre, by junkshop_disco. (Merlin RPF, Eoin/Rupert, side Bradley/Colin, R.) Bradley suggests a boys’ weekend, and much to Colin’s dismay the hotel is not amongst Trip Advisor’s top-rated. When a painting takes a fancy to them Rupert turns to gin, while Eoin has to rely on his horror movie experience to get through it. Will any of them make it out alive?

Happy Halloween and happy reading!
