Titles are for Better People

I have transitioned back to Marvel, but I didn't write any of my probably 50 Batman fic ideas 😱. Previous obsessions include, but are not limited to: DC (Batman), Marvel (Iron Man, Daredevil), Star Wars (Obi-Wan), Doctor Who, The Witcher, Jurassic Park (Ian Malcolm)

[myjedimullet]

Also! If anybody looks at this actual blog, a fun thing we can do is you, my internet acquaintance, can give me a number, currently, between 131 and... 277, in my ask box, and rather than go in order, I'll post the idea that goes with that number! Some I've only got the idea, and some I've got a few pages or an outline!

Of course, you can always send me asks attempting to bully me into writing one of my ideas or asking for more detail about one of my ideas too!

Fanfic Idea #130

Something turns irrational fears into phobias essentially

To put it more clearly, it makes them worse. Like constant anxiety about the thing you fear, even if normally you'd be able to control a response like that.

Kirk- running out of food (counting up the rations under his bed, thinking about how he does have enough for himself, but what about Spock, and his crew? Do they have enough rations on board if something were to happen to the replicators? Are they all up to date)

Spock- letting his emotions overwhelm him, comes from his upbringing and only reinforced after his Pon Farr (more emotionally distant, reacting illogically to emotions in those around him, as they typically elicit an emotional response from Spock himself, even if he doesn't allow others to see it. Basically no one's having fun, but if they try to talk to Spock about it, they're all going to end up feeling worse, which ends up happening of course, because that's good conflict, and I'm thinking established K/S for this, though either way works)

McCoy- claustrophobia (not the best thing to have on a space ship, not sure about this one, but it seems very McCoy.)

Uhura- like someone I know irl, afraid of cutting things open and consuming meat makes uncomfortable (worries about people talking about cannibalism, can barely stand eating in the mess, as even though it's replicated meat (which she's usually fine with) it's still meat. Avoiding medbay and doctor friends like the plague. Actually very concerned, as this was something she had already dealt with when she decided she wanted to be the communications officer on a starship, which typically involves learning about and being accepting of new cultures, which more often than not includes the consumption of meat. She's becoming concerned she may actually have to give up her post until she can get a handle on things. Hopefully she doesn't talk to Spock, because he'd probably just agree with her and be unimpressed that she let her emotions hold so much sway over her. Then he'd feel bad, and berate himself for feeling bad and have even less sympathy for himself and others)

Sulu- heights (luckily they're in space, so heights aren't really a thing, but he's gonna be worried if they go near any planets. Logically, he knows that he probably won't be ordered to even take the ship into atmosphere, but, irrational fears are heightened, so... and he actually dealt with his fears much like uhura, when he was becoming a helmsman, and is somewhat concerned about them cropping up again, though not as much as uhura at first. At least not until his irrational fear convices him that, really, isn't space actually higher than the atmosphere? And then he's kind of a nervous wreck) 

Chekov- ghosts (I feel like this goes well with the Russian boy). Creaking and groaning, dark places, and people acting weird (which everyone will be) will all be increasing his stress levels. Maybe some talk about baba yaga? Though I think she's only in the woods, might have to look up Russian ghost stories. Oh, also the thoughts of, really, a lot of people have actually died on this very ship, and almost certainly all of them were from unfortunate circumstances, and a lot of the time violence, which typically makes for some angry ghosts, and wouldn't they be very angry with the senior officers if anyone?)

Scotty- the ocean (I can't believe I almost forgot my boy! Wasn't sure for him either, but I could see Scott seeming unaffected and when asked, he's like, got caught in the undertow when I was a wee lad, haven't really much liked waves since. Luckily, there's not much water in space. And that's it. He don't got time for irrational fear, he's gotta take care of his lady, especially with all his engineering crew being tormented by their own fears, the poor sods.)

Chapel- bugs (giving the one I share a name with my own fear. Luckily she's on what I assume is a very controlled starship, so if there are bugs anywhere, it's in labs or garden type places, both of which are places she can easily avoid. That's not to say that any movement in the corner of her eye, or speck, or the rare dust bunny aren't going to make her jump out of her skin after a bit. She's also definitely going to be getting the creepy crawly feeling, so the hair is going to be *up*)

Various other fears throughout the ship, though there will be some more easily dealt with like Scott and Chapel's. I am also imagining a scene where Spock is feeling insecure about all of his feelings for Jim and is like, I won't be sharing a bed with you tonight. Meanwhile Jim is feeling very emotionally drained and was looking forward to just spending some time with his Vulcan. Also, when dealing with fears like this, I daresay people would have trouble looking past their own problems at first, so Jim is mostly just feeling hurt, not really thinking about why Spock's being like this after he throws a few hurtful comments Jim's way, which makes Spock feel things and just want to leave, and for Jim to stop being so emotional. So Spock is like, no bedsharing happening tonight, and Jim's like, "Is something wrong?"

"Must there be something wrong for me to not wish to share a bed with you?"

"Well, you've never had a problem with it before."

"It is illogical for two people to share a bed made for one, when both have perfectly serviceable beds of their own."

"C'mon Spock, you know I wasn't talking about logic--"

"Perhaps you should spend more time "talking about logic" and less time allowing your emotions to rule your actions."

"You're right, Mr Spock, I've been behaving quite unacceptably, haven't I? Well, don't worry, I shall cease troubling you with my," he resists the urge to add the word silly, "emotions." Spock nods, and as he turns to leave, his foot knocks into the box of rations Kirk had been taking stock of earlier. Apparently he hadn't quite gotten them out of sight.

"Shouldn't these be down in the galley?"

Plastering a false smile on, "You're quite right Mr Spock, I'll arrange to have them brought there now." And he would too, he didn't need the rations, he could prove to Spock that he could easily act without emotion. There was truly no logical reason to keep the rations (later Spock would tell him that if a little thing like keeping rations under his bed improves his mental state, it would be illogical not to continue doing so. Pretending emotions do not exist when they obviously do is the far more illogical, and, really, emotional, action) and so they would be gone from his quarters before he turned in for the night

(Though given Janice Rand is his yeoman, his excellent yeoman to be exact, she takes the rations, but doesn't take them to wherever, as part of being an excellent yeoman is knowing the man you're assisting, so she has done her research and knows about Tarsus. I'm also thinking maybe some form of perfectionism for Janice (anyone who wears their hair like that clearly has some kind of perfectionism), so she is like, way overthinking and ends up coming to the conclusion she should anticipate Jim's needs, and he'll probably be wanting the rations back).

"I'll see you on the bridge tomorrow." He had the feeling that if Spock didn't want to sleep with him tonight, then he wouldn't want to share the morning meal like they usually did either. And while he had wanted the emotional support of Spock by his side earlier, now he didn't want to spend any time with him if it meant being belittled while Spock sorted out whatever he was obviously dealing with at the moment.

Yeah, I wanted to come up with an idea like a tos episode, and this monster idea happened.

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #129

Kirk regressed in age to 13

(when he was on Tarsus) and subsequently freaks out. Spock and McCoy are the only ones who definitely know, though there may have been a few who looked up Tarsus after the whole Kodos/Karidian thing happened

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #128

K/S established before the show starts, how being in a relationship changes things up

Because there will never be enough of these

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #127

Another more headcanon than idea

Q is just Trelane when he gets a little older. Instead of being a petulant child, he's a know-it-all pre-teen

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #126

Trouble with Tribbles happens right after Journey to Babel

Jim still isn't fully recovered and so some h/c happens along with Tribbles because idk, it just feels right

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #125

Aos- Spock prime gets hit with a thing that makes the person you care about the most go through past injuries

But, seeing as how timelines and realities and stuff are all mixed up, aos Jim gets the tos Jim treatment

Because why not make the aos situation even more wibbly wobbly timey wimey?

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #124

Star Trek tos everyone being aged down at the same time

(all the older people get aged down to the same age as the youngest people, then they get younger all at the same rate at the same time) with their bodies being affected but not their minds. Instead of just making their bodies younger though, it is reversing them through time, so all the injuries and states their bodies have been in are gone through in reverse.

Kinda like that tas episode, but with angst.

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #123

Kock and Spirk--the slip-up no one will ever forget

A silly little thing--the first fic I ever finished, actually! Take a look if you're curious!

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #122

Matt is allergic to the convergence from Thor: the Dark World (or at least it makes him slightly sick) 

(Heimdall: very few people can sense the convergence; even fewer can see it.) Maybe he somehow ends up in Asgard because one of the anomalies ends up in his apartment because he has That Kind of luck. He is told it's unsafe to go back to his apartment so Thor is like I have a friend who lives in New York, I'm sure he'd be more than happy to host you for a few days (Thor's a bit caught up with Jane and really can't protect multiple mortals while worrying about the dark elves and the aether and Loki and everything)

Maybe later on Loki uses some kind of spell (or someone does anyway) to trap all of the mortals who have traveled on the Bifrost (Jane, Matt, depending on time Rocket and Groot) to get at Thor

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #121

Somehow characters end up hearing about different universes Daredevil is in

(Maybe Reed from 616 shows up?) Foggy is kinda Very Upset at how many Matt dies in (and how often it's Frank who kills him)

I found the list of alternate Daredevils this was the result

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #120

Another kind of fanfic idea kind of headcanon

Little red headed kid Cap saves in The First Avenger after Erskine dies is Matt's paternal grandfather

Came up with this at a point when I had been idly toying with a silly idea to come up with increasingly silly ways to insert Matt Murdock into the MCU, every movie. Rewatched Captain America 1 and saw a red headed child in NYC, and it basically came up with itself. Not exactly in the movie, but about as close as you can get, reasonably.

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #119

Marvel (at least Netflix) characters get magiked into their og comic costumes Wandavision Halloween style (but not like Vision's- their actual spandex glory)

Also thinking this would be just as fun with the Avengers, now that I'm not Marvel Netflix tunnel-visioned

 Matt's in spandex (yellow? Was first?), Jess is all jeweled up, Luke's got his tiara, Danny's got his costume, and Frank's in black and white spandex. At least Matt and Frank. They track down who did it, because they want their gear back. (Matt really hopes they can undo it, because Frank's so angry, he's not sure he can stop him killing the poor bastard who thought this would be a good idea.)

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #118

Matt is in some emotional turmoil (maybe after Fisk and finding out about Maggie in S3) and expresses it via Daredevil, though he may be pushing himself more than he should.

Ngl, a lot of this is just me wanting to inflict the level of tiredness I experienced one day in college on characters I like so I can write about it, lol

Finding Matt absolutely passed out in bed (he's a bit concerned at first when Matt doesn't wake up when he comes in nor the first few times he calls his name). Matt eventually wakes up, and he's so tired. He has no idea what's going on or why he needs to wake up, but after taking Foggy in and remembering how to interpret English, he gets the sense he's overslept for something.

He gets moderately hurt (maybe), and he hasn't been sleeping enough (though, come on, he got 5 hours the night before last and somewhere between 1 and 3 last night. He should be fine). So, in his state of being physically and emotionally drained, he turns off his alarm clock and declines calls without waking up.

Foggy being Foggy, is slightly concerned Matt might be hurt or kidnapped, or something (or maybe just not sticking to their agreement and working himself into the ground) and heads over to Matt's apartment.

Not even fully aware of what Foggy said-is saying-Matt heaves himself up and rolls over to standing with his feet, landing heavily on the ground. None of his usual grace is present in his movements, and the only reason he manages not to fall on his face is his familiarity with his home. He's not awake enough to filter everything, barely awake enough to even remember how to focus on the room he's in, so his senses are nowhere near attuned enough for him to take in his surroundings and listen to Foggy at the same time.

Though he's doing a pretty terrible job of that too, no more clued into the situation than earlier, aside from the fact that Karen will be disappointed... or at least unhappy? Either way, this spurs Matt on in hurriedly getting ready even as he dimly registers pain in his side (or wherever he will be hurt) at all the sudden movement.

Cue Foggy realizing Matt is hurt and so tired he has no idea what's going on. Eventually, he gets Matt to sit and wake up a bit more so they can both talk and have a better grasp of the situation. He asks Matt why he isn't abiding by the rules of their contract, which strictly rules working himself into exhaustion of this level as unacceptable (except for emergencies). Matt eventually ends up telling Foggy about his mom or whatever is bothering him.

'Alright, buddy, now that that's settled, we need to deal with the blood slowly staining your shirt.'

'Wait. I'm not wearing the white shirt, am I?'

'You sure are.'

Matt sighs in disappointment. 'This was my favorite one...'

'Well. Maybe we can keep it as your bleeding out slowly shirt. God knows you need one.'

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #117

Matt's Dad is May Parker's half brother

This doesn't go perfectly with canon because I came up with the majority of this before... No Way Home? Maybe? Definitely before Echo, where we presumably see Matt during the 5 years when people are blipped, though that still seems potentially questionable? Also this is super long and the timeline is a mess.

May can't take Matt in until after Stick, they take Peter in when he is five and Matt is 17. Daredevil Season 1 2015, 2 2015-16 (?), Civil War, Defenders, and Spider-Man 1 2016, Daredevil Season 3 late 2016/2017 (?), Infinity War 2018 (?).

At least Matt gets snapped, because it makes more sense for there being a lull in content for him. Peter gets bit in 2015, ben dies, then dds2 happens. Peter starts staying over at Matt's pretty regularly after May and Ben have night shift at the same time, and finds out about dd from the beginning? At least before Foggy.

Peter has loved building scenes from movies with legos since he was little. It is simultaneously fun, challenging, and helps Matt to enjoy movies exponentially more all at once.

Matt watched the original tmnt cartoon before he lost his sight, and Peter watches the 2003 version, sometimes getting Matt to watch it with him (though he's not very hard to convince) (Also it's like a perfect opportunity to put tmnt in Daredevil, how can you not?).

When Aunt May finds out about Spider-Man, Peter accidentally blabs about Matt being Daredevil too because he is terrified but also kind of relieved (?) and somewhat dazed and confused. Though this doesn't really work with the timeline, maybe will change it up a bit? Cause May would probably suspect something before Matt disappears when she probably is brought to the police station ('I have powers now too, I can help!' 'No, Peter, it's bad enough all these people know who I am, we don't need them knowing about you too. The more people that know a secret, the less secret it is.') Maybe she finds out after Matt gets shot in the head and has the whole thing where he goes deaf? Like Peter is there and calls May? Maybe he tries to pass it off as being a random person and the midst of lying about how he came to be in the situation let's slip that he is Spider-Man, then May freaks out and is like, 'Is there anything else you'd like to get of your chest?' And Peter is like, 'The person I'm helping is actually Matt and he got shot in the head, but it's okay, because he was wearing the helmet for his Daredevil costume because he's Daredevil, so it's okay, except he can't hear and he's kind of freaking out, but he's not screaming anymore-' 'I'll be there in (however long it takes for someone to get from wherever may works to hell's kitchen).'

Yes, I think I like this idea. Defenders happens before Civil War, so Matt isn't there to keep Peter from doing dumb stuff. Maybe Peter let's slip at some point that Matt is missing (or Tony just finds out in the background check he probably does) and Tony is the one who finds out that Matt is alive. Or maybe he just finds out that Matt is Daredevil because its probably not terribly hard to figure out when one looks at the facts and knowing that Peter is Spider-Man definitely helps in that endeavor. Maybe he inserts himself into dds3 because of this? Would be kind of amusing.

Does that mean the Defenders would somehow get roped into Infinity War? Or maybe they'd just be helping to protect NYC? Matt unexpectedly getting dragged to space would be kind of hilarious... He'd be like 'goddamn it Peter, I don't want to jump onto the side of a space ship *leaving the atmosphere* but I am *not* letting you go to space with only Tony Stark as a chaperone.' Then Peter would be like, 'Matt, I have superpowers, you have super senses. You cannot expect riding on the side of a spaceship taking off to result in anything but death.' And basically he'll wind up having to drag Matt's unconscious body around and web him to a wall or something to fight Ebony Maw. Tony ends up making Matt a suit which, at first, he really doesn't want to accept, but then he, May and Peter manage to convince him that he can't keep running around in athletic wear while fighting ninjas and whatever else, remember what happened with Nobu? Maybe after DD S3?

I feel like this inserts Tony into the story too much, but I think it would be funny and add some good tension to have Matt not really liking him at first, then not really knowing what to make of him, then grudgingly admitting (to himself) that Tony's not so bad.

I figure Matt will also be a bit better adjusted after having a family like the Parkers rather than... you know... He still goes to church all the time, though! He's a devout catholic Murdock, he is, lol

After Ben dies, May ends up working a lot more shifts so it's pretty regular for Peter to at least hang out at Matt's if not stay. Silly idea of Peter thinking Matt won't notice he's playing games before doing his homework because he's blind and Matt creating real work for Peter every time he does this.

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #116

Peter and Matt as secret identity buddies in the MCU

Helping each other appear in a different place at the same time from their alter ego, because it's fun

[myjedimullet]

Fanfic Idea #115

Guy takes hostages demanding Daredevil come, however one of the hostages taken is Matt

Because this will never not be a fun idea
