Summary
Three weeks after Foggy wrote "Nelson, Murdock, and Page" on a new napkin, Matt, Karen, and Foggy are starting the new firm in the upstairs of Nelson's Meats. That means Matt can't put off moving back into his apartment any longer—an apartment that he may or may not have told Karen and Foggy he moved back into weeks ago.
It turns out, trying to sort out your affairs and come back to your old life after having a building fall on top of you, spending months recovering in a church basement, and being homeless isn't that easy. It's a little harder still when you're mentally unwell, sleep deprived, and blind.
Also... maybe Matt should have taken the whole hallucination thing more seriously.

Summary
An accident with a burning building triggers Matt's worst crisis in years. In the middle of an episode, he tries to stab himself with an old screwdriver.
Karen and Foggy know Matt urgently needs therapy. But they also know Matt would never risk opening up and revealing his secret to a regular therapist.
The arrival of Dr. Hemming offers the three of them a glimmer of hope when he agrees to take on an unthinkable job: providing therapy to the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen.
Three friends. Three timelines. One mystery to solve that will take Karen and Foggy deep into Matt’s psyche. What does it feel like to be a man who can hear everything?
Based on Netflix’s 2015 Daredevil series. Spoilers only up to Season 3 (and a bit of Defenders).
I’m not using the canon from other series (like The Punisher) because I haven’t seen them yet. :’D
⚠️ Contains sensitive themes such as depression, suicide, sexual assault, and crimes against children. ⚠️

After his father's final fight, Matt Murdock disappears, leaving behind nothing but a broken cane and a pool of blood.
Years later, Jack Murdock pulls a man in a mask out of his dumpster.

Summary
Robert Robertson has nothing left but two secrets when his suit is blown sky high.
1. He was Mecha Man. Emphasis on ‘was.’
2. He is an unregistered guide. A powerful one.
And those are unfortunately secrets that are kept by only himself, his childhood babysitter who he doesn’t even talk to anymore, and his father’s killer.

my body's made of crushed little stars by DaQuirklessBeauty

Summary
Robert has always treated his body like something temporary—maintained just enough to keep going. Then one run-in with a passing villain leaves him younger, unscarred, standing in a body that no longer carries the visible proof of the pain he survived. As the Z-Team watches him move through the world in a way he hasn’t in years, concern sharpens into something heavier. Others begin to notice what Robert himself has long learned to dismiss, and the truth becomes harder to avoid: whatever hit him didn’t just revert him—it revealed how much pain he’d been living with, and how quietly he let it happen. Because if this is who Robert used to be, then the version they’ve known has been surviving far more than he ever admitted.
—
Or: Robert gets caught in the crossfire of a fleeing villain’s power—and wakes up in the body he had at twenty-one.
