You said we can request like 500 word drabbles right? (Is "drabbles" a word?? Do ykwim with that??)
If so... Is there any possibility for a trans Simon.. Like.. I need it...
āWhen the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.ā
It was the first time that Simon drew blood.
The boyā Ezekiel, if Sibmah remembers correctlyā scrambles back, red ichor streaming down his face and dripping onto patchwork clothes. He stares up at Sibmah, trembling.
Sibmah does not cow. He stares back, down, teeth bared and fists clenched.
āI am not. A fucking. Whore.ā
The words are no less sharp for the way his voice pitches up, for the cloth that falls to his knees and sways or the hair tied up with modesty.
Sibmah takes a step forward. The boy scrambles back.
Thereās a sort of twisted pride that Sibmah derives from the glimmer of fear shining up at him. Girls werenāt supposed to be scary. They werenāt supposed to have claws or venom. They were small, quiet, submissive. They didn't snap back.Ā
Sibmah jolts forward, grinning as Ezekiel whimpers and throws himself backwards.Ā
Oh, to have even aĀ modicumĀ of power.Ā
Sibmah gasps as a hand lands on his shoulder. Somehow, without turning around, without daring to exhale, he knows who it is.Ā
"You're the one who sneaks into our lessons, hm? Who watches when you're supposed to be cooking with the women?"Ā
Sibmah swallows, terror creeping up his throat.Ā
"Yes, Father."Ā
"Hm." The hand on his shoulder squeezes. "Simon, then."Ā
The hand disappears, the hall echoing as boots click along the metal paneling of the floor.Ā
"Come along."Ā
It's the first time Simon is happy to obey.Ā
--
"It was a death sentence. Being a woman."Ā
Simon watches as Grace traces the scars on his chest. Grace is gentle, searching, eyes wide and all-absorbing as he trails the lines that have almost faded entirely.Ā
It's a kind of gentleness that puts a knot in Simon's throat.Ā
"Is that why you did it?" Grace asks, voice just as soft as his lingering touches.Ā
Simon shrugs, leaning back and sighing as his head sinks into the pillows. "Part of it, I think. I mean, I was just doing whatever I could to make sure I didn't end up like my mom."Ā
Grace hums, hands splayed on either side of Simon's torso and thumbs dragging along the old marks. "So, you'reā¦?"Ā
"I'm a man." Simon snaps, then winces. He drags a hand over his face and is comforted by the fact that Grace hasn't pulled away. "Fuck, sorry, I know that's not- what you meant."Ā
Simon sighs, staring up at their bedroom ceiling as he considers.Ā
"IĀ amĀ a man. That's not really what I was thinking as a kid, though. I just knew I couldn't end up like the Sisters."Ā
It's silent for a few moments, the words hanging in the air. Simon hadn't told Grace everything about Edenā he didn't know if he had it in him to crack open that part of his soul just yet. Maybe ever.Ā
"I'm sorry." Grace murmurs, leaning forward to press his forehead against Simon's sternum. "That it wasn't a happy thing for you."Ā
Simon closes his eyes. He moves his hand, finding one of Grace's and lacing it with his own. The words, once he manages them, are small.Ā
"I always thought the 'made in His image thing' was bullshit."Ā

a/n: also i see all of your reqs in my inbox!! drabbles are sort of a 'ooh this is a banger idea and i have a free half hour' kinda thing but there's def some in there that i'd like to do!! might just take me a while to get around to them :pĀ
The Constellation of Touch by what_alchemy - Rated: E - 19K
"Months after Fisk is put away, nothing's right between the partners at Nelson and Murdock. But Christmas is here, and Matt is still expected at the Nelson house."
(probably my fave of all time, all the characters are so fleshed out, matt and foggy are extremely mattandfoggy and matt is so in love with him as he should be. incredibly funny ((AND RESPECTFUL)) blind jokes)
-
Rumble My Bones by what_alchemy - Rated: E - 9K
āGuess weāre still learning stuff about each other, huh?ā
(foggy is a woman in this but the dynamic is exactly the same)
-
Under the Hide of Me by poisonivory - Rated: E - 25K
"When a case turns dangerous, Matt appoints himself Foggy's personal bodyguard. Foggy's not complaining - but heĀ wouldĀ like to know why Daredevil won't stop flirting with him.
Not that he's complaining about that, either."
(an absolute banger and a classic, they write so well about how the costume gives matt the confidence to finally try and pull foggy. i love anything that has foggy interacting with matt as dd and having to pretend he doesn't know him. some really cute and funny moments and a super hot sex scene while matt is wearing the dd suit. they are a great writer i recommend everything they write tbh)
-
Something Dumb to Do by poisonivory - Rated: E - 33K
"If Matt and Foggy get married, Foggy will never be forced to testify against Daredevil. It doesn't mean anything has to change, right?"
(fake marriage fic! this is another fandom classic, i love their mattfoggy so so much! they would 100% do this in the show. they so would want to get married and stay together forever and ever and call each other "husband" ugh)
-
Beyond Touched by Salmon_Pink - Rated: E - 1.5K
"Matt's at his limit and Foggy hasn't even touched him. Not that Foggy plans on touching himĀ at all, not with all those others senses driving Matt wild."
(MATT SENSORY OVERLOAD FIC!!!!!!!!! HOT AF!!!!!!!! extremely fun bdsm)
-
Algolagnia by Xela - Rated: E - 15K
"Leave it to Foggy Nelson to have to teach Matt Murdock that all pain is not created equal, and whatever he needs is his for the asking. OR: Matt is the worst baby sub, and for some reason everyone expects Foggy to lead him down theĀ primroseĀ BDSM path."
(foggy learns how to dom for matt because he finds out he's a hardcore masochist!!! so good, everything i could ever want from a bdsm mattfoggy fic, and THEY ARE NOT EVEN TOGETHER YET!!! he does all of that because he's such a good friend woah)
-
Tell You My Sins by poisonivory - Rated: E - 7K
"Not always, but lately, since Iāve started...Daredevil, everything, Iāve need certain...certainĀ thingsĀ to, to, uh, get off.ā
(more bdsm because why the hell not??? it is a bit on the lighter side but very very very very very hot. the visuals of matt in this are insane)
-
Just Our Hands Clasped So Tight by poisonivory - Rated: M - 9K
"If there's one thing Foggy Nelson knows about Matt Murdock, it's howĀ tactileĀ he is."
(TACTILE MATTFOGGY! i'm literally always saying this!!!! they touch so much all the time 24/7! this contains lines that i wish they'd just take me out back and shoot me)
-
good night; home safe by nysscientia - Rated: E - 28K
"Matt and Foggy establish a new routine. It involves a lot of crashing on Matt's couch."
(this fic takes place after the events of s3, with matt and foggy picking up the pieces. very delicious slow burn and extremely in character, if they ever got together in the show i think it'd happen exactly like this fic depicts. feels like the most natural progression of their relationship)
-
hurry up now (it's only getting colder) by returnsandreturns - Rated: E - 2K
āMatt,ā Foggy repeats. āThanks for the help, Matt, and I hate to say this because you seem really cool, but youāre way too hot and nobodyās gonna hit on me if youāre talking to me.ā
āOh, uhmāI was hitting on you?ā Matt says, smiling awkwardly. āOr trying, at least. I donāt do this very often.ā
(i'm not usually a fan of fic where they meet in different circumstances but this one works super well for me and it's delicious! they instantly become mattandfoggy and fall in love at first sight of course)
-
mama said knock you out by returnsandreturns - Rated: E - 16K
"Karenās makes a noise that would have been really funny in a different circumstance when Matt pulls the pregnancy test from her bag.
āThese things arenāt exactly accessible to people who canāt see,ā Matt says, quietly."
(matt is a girl and foggy knocks her up. so unbearably sweet! matt and foggy are in love and stupid in every single iteration of themselves)
-
worship you by mortarsmayfall - Rated: E - 7K
"Inch by inch, step by step, Matt Murdock gets loved."
(this fic is everything to me. matt learning how to accept love, to accept he deserves things. foggy spoiling him to hell and back and taking care of him. they are so in love, as always, and all is right and beautiful in the world! it reminds me so much of the iconic "big eden" quote: i just want things to be nice for him. i know it's foolish butĀ i just want things to be nice for him.)
-
move like u stole it by Ahavaa - Rated: E - 2K
"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, likeĀ fireĀ is cheating? I mean, Matt, this is tragic, I guess weĀ couldĀ still eat our meat raw off - animal bones, sure, whatever, but a steak is so much better than raw meat."
(i always say this but itās always true: people underestimate how kinky and unbelievably horny mattfoggy are as a ship, itās crazy how much they love having sex with each other and how much we all know that. they have so much fun and it's so hot and always so good. this is super vivid, their descriptions of matt's reaction to everything are crazy good)
-
Sensitive by torrential - Rated: E - 1.5K
"Matt is sensitive. Foggy takes shameless advantage."
(another hypersensitive!matt fic. insane descriptions of his oversensitivity during sex, foggy is CRAZY good in bed which surprises no one and matt goes a bit insane with it. levels of hotness i can't explain. i wish this was 50K long. they are just so horny for each other it's crazy. i have never seen two characters who want to have sex as much as matt and foggy. i just love how much they flourish in the hands of every single person who writes for this ship.)
-
Shampo, Rinse, Repeat by ctimene - Rated: E - 6K
"Preparing food for one's lover is the most intimate gift of all, aside from washing their hair." ā Charles Boyle
"No one does any cooking in this fic, y'all."
(mattfoggy hair washing fic! oh my god! this is so incredibly sweet and massively erotic. i say this every five seconds but there is no iteration of themselves, no alternate reality, where they don't fall instantly in love!!! truly the most in love forever)
-
matt murdock: the world's greatest ally by returnsandreturns - Rated: E - 4.6K
āI donāt hate it,ā Matt admits, shrugging. His fingers squeeze a little before he drops his hand and turns back around. āI mean, Iām straight but itās fine if you wanna, likeālook at me.ā
Foggy leans against the doorframe and watches Matt towel himself off, feeling like his soul might actually leave his body."
(this fic is fucking wild. matt and foggy basically have an agreement where foggy can look at matt whenever he wants. it's batshit insane and so good. matt is stupid ((normal of him)) and thinks he's straight and that's just a normal thing to do for your buddy. he starts doing insane shit just so foggy will stare at him all the time. stupidly hot!!!! i love this author and the way they write them)
-
When Your Heart Beats (Next to Mine) by poisonivory, returnsandreturns, Werelibrarian - Rated: E - 10K
āSo youā¦what, just never jerked off?ā Foggy asks. āNot once, all through puberty?ā
āNot once.ā
(this fic makes me really overwhelmed for some reason. just the intensity of their love, their happiness and how sweet and good they are to each other... they can be a lot!!!)
-
climb up on me, lay it on me by mortarsmayfall - Rated: E - 1.7K
āI want. This,ā and Matt gestures vaguely at their position, snapping Foggy out of his haze. āI want to, fuck, I want toĀ rideĀ you, I want it toĀ hurtĀ later. Just. Let me do this, please? You think you can let me fuck myself on you?ā
(i find it a bit impossible for authors to write mattfoggy without (at least a bit of) rough sex involved, matt is an /extreme/ masochist coded character and it just makes sense that he'd want it rough, especially with someone he loves and trusts. i could read a hundred more fics like this and i wouldn't get tired, mind numbingly hot)
*scrolling through all 500+ of my mattfoggy bookmarks* boy do i!
everyone in the world please read Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy by werelibrarian this one is not a fic rec its a public service go now
Rocky Horror Pancake Show by Ch*ckl*V**d**s is one of the time loop all timers. love a new take on an old trope
to make a happy life by katbelle is one of my favorite series ever bc it feels so real and detailed and well-written (mind the tags, can get quite heavy)
take of his body and the rest of the celestial bodies series by Tenebrica is my also favorite im very obsessed with this one. really great if you want 300k words of BDSM and misunderstandings
Through the Looking Glass by 94BottlesofSnapple is a super fun netflix/comics crossover that i always find myself coming back to
To Trust That There Will Be Light by Tam_Cranver is a nice introspective piece with a hopeful ending
Day Forty-Seven by Marchling is really good character study and really good exploration of matts senses
i really should have put i never could forgive myself for leaving out (you're the one, you are the only one) by AsperJasper on this list bc of how much i love the concept of this fic
