Hi! This is my first time requesting so sorry if I do it wrong but!! I was wondering if you could write something where you’re at work and end up having to wear a coworkers jacket or something because it’s cold, or you spill a drink etc. And after you go to see Matt and he can smell that it’s someone else’s jacket and gets jealous. (Can smell their scent plus any perfume or cologne they wear) It can be kept as fluff or lead to him doing more to show that yours his and his only 🤭
Idk I feel like he would be the type to be jealous over that stuff, even if he wouldn’t admit it.
hii! don’t worry, you did it perfectly! I love this. thank you for requesting, hope you like it💌
that’s not my cologne (matt murdock x fem reader)
wc || ~ 0.5k
warnings || none (?) jealousy, but it’s all hidden in playfulness and jokes, so there’s no angst. there is implied smut at the end though, but no details

The clock had struck five, immediately logging off your computer and darting out of your office block, too excited to see Matt.
“Oh, Dan!” You shout out to your colleague down the hall. “Your jacket. Thank you again.” Smiling friendly as you shrugged off his cardigan to pass it to him.
“No problem, love. I’ve always got a spare one for you.“ He grins, slinging it over his crossbody bag. “Boss man wants me to photocopy these.” Making a laborious groan. “I’ll see you Monday?”
“Absolutely, have a good weekend. Thank you again.”
“Any time, have a good one.”

You had finally made it to Matt’s apartment building, bustling though the door to rush up the steps, looking forward to seeing him. Knocking on his door a couple of times, waiting impatiently to be let in.
“Hi.” You say cutely.
“Hi.” He grins, matching your excitement.
“I’ve missed you.” Greedily kissing his face.
He parts from you and his face turns deadpan. “What’s that smell?”
“What smell?”
“You smell like a man.”
“Excuse me?” You laugh. “A man? You telling me I stink?” Snickering as you walked into his apartment.
His head tilts to the side, unamused. “The cologne… that’s not mine.”
“Ohh.” Finally realising what he was talking about. “I borrowed a friend's jacket today.”
“Why?”
“Uh… because it was cold.” You say slowly, chuckling.
“Why?”
“The AC switch broke, so it was freezing all day. You jealous?” You lightly joke. “Oh Matt, you are.” You tease as you lovingly prod his arm.
“I’m not.”
“You are.”
“Nope.”
Noticing an uneasy emotion on his face, you decide to reassure him rather than tease him any further. “He’s gay, and he’s married, Matt. Dan let me borrow his cardigan because he always has a spare.” You sweetly say.
Just like that, his shoulders loosen like the words you just said melted the tension in them. Was he really jealous?
“You need to shower.” A faint smirk looms behind his deadpan face.
“A shower? You’re not being serious.” You tease.
“Uh yeah, I am. I can’t speak to you when you smell of another man. Shower.” Pointing to the bathroom.
“Oh my goodness, you are.” You snicker.
“I can’t hear you right now. That heinous smell is blocking my ears.” A grin slowly spreading across his lips.
“You are ridiculous.” You laugh, genuinely amused.
“I don’t care, get in there.” Fighting off a smile.
“Only if you join me.” You flirt.
“No.”
“Are you being serious?”
“No.” Breaking his facade to chuckle.
“Yeah that’s what I thought, come on.” You tease, gently gripping his tie to lead him into the bathroom. “Can’t believe you were jealous… you know I’m all yours right?” You whisper, undressing in front of him. “Show me what you do with things that are yours.”
“Oh, I will.” Dragging you into the shower with him. “I will.”
Hey! I love to listen to music that fits a theme when I’m reading, and I’ve put together a small Red Thread playlist, including the songs you’ve mentioned in notes and stuff, I was wondering if there’s any other songs that remind you of The Red Thread, and would you mind sharing them? I don’t mind a t o n of songs too, the more the merrier!!!
Oh I totally get that, I almost always have music I'm listening to that fits the theme when I'm either writing or reading! There's just something about it that puts you in a perfect mood, and sometimes I'm even looping a single song for a specific chapter, again either reading or writing it.
I actually have an entire TRT playlist on spotify if you're looking for everything I have for TRT! At this point it's about half me and half recommended songs by readers. There ARE however some standouts that I quite like that haven't mentioned in the fic I don't think. I'll ⭐ the one that I remember coming from readers!
A song for the Hound of Los Angeles: Stay Alive by Hidden Citizens
I do what I need to
What I have to
Well, you can try
To be civilized
But I'm gonna stay alive
A song for the Devil and the Hound (and one of my favorites for them): Woke Up A Rebel by Reuben and the Dark
I am wild, I am lost
I am sick, I am damned
But I am holding redemption in the palm of my hand
A song for Matt: Death of Me by Saint Phnx
I feel it in my bones
The devil's at my door
So help me
This will be the death of me
A song for Jane and Matt early on: War of Hearts (Acoustic) by Ruelle ⭐
I can't help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can't help but want you
I know that I'd die without you
A song for Jane to Matt during our 'I'm hiding my secrets from Matt' arc but also works as a general song for Jane: Neptune by Sleeping at Last
Thread by thread, I come apart
If brokenness is a work of art
Surely this must be my masterpiece
I'm only honest when it rains
If I time it right, the thunder breaks
When I open my mouth
I wanna tell you, but I don't know how
Another powerful song by the same artist (I literally have an entire playlist just by this artist since so many fit, with special notes paid to the enneagram songs) for both Matt and Jane that encompasses both their childhoods: Eight by Sleeping at Last
Here I am, pry me open
What do you want to know?
I'm just a kid who grew up scared enough
To hold the door shut
And bury my innocence
But here's a map, here's a shovel
Here's my Achilles' heel
A song for Jane early on: all of the midnights album Dear Reader by Taylor Swift⭐
Dear reader, the greatest of luxuries is your secrets
Dear reader, when you aim at the devil
Make sure you don't miss
A song for Matt to Jane: It Will Come Back by Hozier⭐
Don't let me in with no intention to keep me
Jesus Christ, don't be kind to me
Honey, don't feed me, I will come back
A song from Jane to Matt: With You Til The End by Sam Tinnesz, Tommee Profitt ⭐
When your fears are not fading
And there's parts of you breaking
I'll hold the pieces all together with my hands
Though the night feels lonely
I won't leave you behind me
Deep inside I know I can't
Each of those are on the playlist along with a lot of other good songs. I've started to wander through some other TRT playlists on Spotify too when I have the time, and there's some awesome songs on them, so if you're looking for even more after this, I highly recommend giving those a look, too!
I just opened my Etsy finally. There's only one kind of listing up right now but let me know if you'd like something different. https://www.etsy.com/shop/JinglesCosplay?ref=seller-platform-mcnav
I love the different reactions to self fakeclaiming in my system. I could be like “damn I’m a lying bastard” and one of them will be like “no of course you’re not sweetheart” and another will be like “oh you piece of shit I am right here” and yet another will be like “yeah you right”
I went on a date last year and jokingly said “Don’t ask me I’m just a girl” and giggled at a 35 year old man thinking he’d get the reference and instead he said “that’s what I like to hear.”
This episode aired in 1994 and was a direct response to Mattel issuing their first talking Barbie which said phrases like “Will we ever have enough clothes?” and “Math class is tough”
A group that dubbed itself the Barbie Liberation Organization tried to create awareness of gender stereotypes by switching the voice boxes of a few hundred Barbies with those of G.I. Joe dolls, which made G.I. Joes that said things like “What kind of wedding will you have?” and Barbies that said “Vengeance is mine”
