Daredevil/Matt Murdock Headcanons and Prompts I've Accumulated Over Time
1. Matt and Foggy Are Childhood Friends
Imagine Foggy and Matt are childhood friends, even before the accident. And the Nelsons take Matt in after Jack died, but not before Stick could train Matt (because reasons). And Matt trusts Foggy immediately with his secret and they get into so much trouble together. And then Matt starts to fight crime and Foggy always has his back.
2. Matt Is a Sucker for Buzzed Hair
Matt likes to touch Frank's hair after he shaved it to a few mm, because he likes the sensation.
3. Jack Comes Back for Five Minutes
Okay, so. There is a comic where Doctor Strange brings Uncle Ben back for Peter for five minutes and I. I just thought about … What if he did it for Matt with Jack? And my heart hurts so much.
And Jack just knows what Matt has been doing all these years and Matt thinks that he will be so disappointed with him, but Jack smiles and says, "I'm proud of you, Matty. So proud."
4. Steve Rogers Adopts Matt
I need to fudge the timeline considerably, but I just. Want Jack and Steve Rogers to know each other. Like, Steve is a fan of boxing, but he is also an old soul at heart, so he'd rather watch fights like Jack's, instead of the upscale ones that rich people attend. Even though he could easily get tickets for those, because he is, well, Captain America. But he chooses to watch Jack's matches instead and they become friends and he meets ickle Matt at one point. And Matt is a big Cap fan (and Jack respects the hell out of Steve for what he did back in the day, so there's that).
And when Matt goes blind, Steve does everything he can to help Jack and Matt, because Jack is his friend. But Jack is too proud and refuses the help, so Steve sticks to making sure that Matt gets Braille books and as many accommodations as he can muster without treating Jack and Matt as a charity case.
And then Jack dies and Steve's heart hurts for Matt, so he takes him in.
5. Jack's Aftershave
The only thing Matt kept of his dad, apart from the boxing regalia, is an already opened bottle of aftershave. He fears the day the smell will fade.
6. Matt/May With May Stealing Matt's Hoodies
May steals Matt's hoodies, because they are so soft. And then they end up in Peter's cabinet, because he, too, has heightened senses and wants soft clothes. But they can't afford it. Matt picks up on that and makes sure that May and Peter always have soft clothes around.
7. Matt and Karen Make-Up Sessions
Whenever Matt's face gets beaten up, he calls Karen, and they both come to the office earlier, so she can mask his injuries with make-up.
8. Matt Stealing Foggy's Hoodie
Matt didn't own his own Columbia sweater. He stole Foggy's once it was worn soft enough for Matt to feel comfortable with his hypersensitive touch.
9. Matt and Interactive Pools
Matt finds out that he loves to go to the aquarium. All the glass and water dulls his senses, which is not great, but he delights in using the interactive pools, so he gladly endures the things he doesn't like.
10. Foggy Being the Best
Foggy got Matt his first red glasses.
11. Matt Being a Masochist
Sometimes Matt lets himself get hit more than necessary on purpose, because he thinks he deserves the pain.
12. Matt-Foggy-Karen-Shenanigans
After the thing with Fisk and Dex Karen, Foggy, and Matt rebuild their firm. And one of the conditions is team-building night at Josie's at least once a month ("So no daredeviling, Matt!"). They get absolutely shitfaced and usually end all up at Matt's apartment, in Matt's bed, just cuddling, because they're cuddly drunks. And then they fall asleep.
When they drink the eel, though, they'll stay up all night and walk up to the fish market in the morning, still completely shitfaced. The fishers hate them with a passion.
13. Matt Being Touch-Starved
Matt being so, so touch-starved and at the same time so afraid of touch, because most of the time, when someone touches him, it isn't gentle. The most human contact he has is during fights. The rare occasions he gets a friendly touch is when Foggy or Karen hug him and he absolutely melts into their embrace, and it hurts, hurts, hurts when he has to let go, because holding on for longer would be weird. It gets so bad that he automatically leans in when someone he likes and trusts just lays their hand on his shoulder or brushes his fingers by accident. Sometimes, when it has been days, he finds himself in his bed, under his silk-sheets, all curled up, silently crying, because there's something missing.
14. Team Red at Beastmaster/Ninja Warrior/The Floor Is Lava
Let me just throw in here that notoriously broke Peter Parker convinces the rest of Team Red (really, just Matt, because Wade would do anything for Peter like the fangirl he is) to partake in one of these TV sports things (like Beastmaster, Ninja Warrior, The Floor is Lava etc.). Because they would easily win and go home with the money. They would need to convince everyone that Matt is just really good at following their orders, because, "Yes, he's blind, but no one else wanted to build a team with us, so here we are." Hilarity ensues.
15. Karen's Perfume
Karen once changed her perfume, but it made Matt sneeze all the time, so she dragged him shopping to get one he would like and that wouldn't fuck with his senses.
16. Matt and His Upside-Down Problem
I think Matt would nope out of situations where he would be upside-down for longer so fast, because it messes up his senses. The blood rushing into his head royally fucks with his balance, and when he gets back to being upside again, he gets dizzy. And it would be so much worse for him than for other people. So. Matt is like, "NOPE!"
17. Matt Kills Fisk
Okay, but Frank saying that Matt is one bad day away from being him and it nearly coming true in S3 has me thinking … What if Matt really went through with killing Fisk? Damn, thinking about the psychological damage has me thriving. And then Matt runs into Frank and they start talking.
And Frank being kinda devastated that Matt betrayed his convictions like that. He's picking up the pieces.
18. Foggy and Karen Get Blipped
Okay, but now I have to think about Matt falling into a deeply depressive episode about Karen and Foggy being gone and going the opposite way of Clint. He doesn't become violent and just Daredevil, but he drops it altogether. He effectively kills Daredevil, because he can barely function and maybe a bit to honor Foggy and Karen, because they never really and completely approved of Daredevil. They just accepted it and tried to do better by Matt in the end. So maybe he thinks it would be what they would've wanted.
19. Foggy Got Blipped But Theo Didn't
Imagine Foggy got blipped but Theo didn't and when Foggy comes back, Theo teases him that he is the older brother now.
20. Fratt Brainworm
Just something about Frank and Matt patching each other up gives my brain happy chemicals.
21. Matt Deserves Soft Things
Imagine Matt crashing at his crush's place, but he is beat up, so they offer him their bed. Only that there is a plushy in said bed, because the person can't sleep without one and finds it soothing to cuddle something while sleeping. Matt unintentionally starts to cuddle the plushy and is thoroughly embarrassed once he wakes up, but he can't deny that cuddling with the plushy was nice and calming. And his crush picks up on it and gently tries to nudge him to get his own plushy. But Matt is a stubborn bastard, so they gift him the softest plushy they can find.
22. Cap Being a Boy Scout
Imagine Steve Rogers meets Matt when he is just his lawyer-ly self. No daredeviling in sight. They're just on the sidewalk and through sheer bad luck Matt's cane breaks/becomes useless (please don't nail me on this, I just need a scenario for Steve to offer to guide Matt). Of course Steve sees this and as the good boy he is, he offers his help. He introduces himself and, yeah, that's Captain America, alright. So Matt can only accept, because, yeah, he is blind and without his cane and doesn't have supersenses, nope, sir, no superpowers here, just a perfectly normal guy, who would appreciate Captain America's help, thank you.
So Steve offers his arm and guides Matt home and, weirdly enough, talking to Steve is … nice. Matt finds that he likes the man, even though he isn't exactly a fan of the Avengers.
23. More CapDevil
Imagine after Steve knows that Matt is DD and they team up and during a fight Matt goes down.
Steve yells, "Get up, soldier!"
And Matt just. Freezes. Because. Childhood trauma. That Steve doesn't know about.

1. Matt Has a Bad Night and Needs Frank
The first time Matt ends up in Frank's bed is after a bad night on patrol. Something happened and Matt doesn't feel like he can talk to Foggy or Karen about it, because they don't get it. Not like other vigilantes do.
He doesn't know why Frank, exactly. He could've gone to Jessica or Luke or Danny. Okay, maybe not Danny. But Matt finds himself on the fire escape right next to the window of the safehouse Frank is currently occupying. He pries it open and slips in, only to be held at gunpoint for his troubles as Frank steps out of the shadows.
And Matt can't help it. He takes off the mask and just breaks down. He doesn't know why. It just happens.
Frank lowers his gun and puts it away, before slowly approaching Matt and leading him to the only thing that can count as seating in this rundown apartment—a beaten, old mattress. He can't even offer Matt something soothing to drink, only a bottle of water that he has to ruffle through his duffel bag for to find. It's not even new. He has drunken from it earlier in the day. But Matt chugs it down gratefully.
They don't talk. And at one point Matt just throws himself at Frank, kissing him frantically. He wants it to be fast and hard, wants Frank to fuck him into the mattress, until he can't think anymore. But Frank knows that's not what Matt needs. So he agrees to have sex with him, but it's tender and soft and Frank cares so much. It makes Matt break down again and again until his emotions run out and he is tired and beaten and fucked into sleep.
When he wakes up the next morning, his limbs entangled with Frank's, he feels embarrassed. But also better.
2. Matt Is Being an Asshole
Frank is still sensitive where he has the gunshot wound on his ass. Matt knows this. So every time they have sex, Matt is a little bastard and presses his thumb against the scar, which, in turn, makes Frank let out a very high-pitched yelp.
3. Matt Needs to Be Held Gentle Like Hamburger
With Matt everything is intense—fighting, talking, even sex. He doesn't know how to function differently. So the first time someone is actually gentle to him during sex, no biting, no bruising, no animalistic fucking, he starts to cry.
4. Matt Likes Bondage
Matt learned that he likes to be tied up thanks to Frank chaining him to the roof in S2.
5. Matt Is Sensitive
Matt regularly comes untouched, because. Too sensitive. Especially when edging is involved.
6. Matt and Frank Are Perpetually Horny
Whenever Frank and Matt come across each other and exchange some blows, both of them have to take care of their boners afterwards with a cold shower.
7. Matt Is Hot and Foggy Is Turned On
Foggy absolutely gets hot and bothered when he sees Matt fight. It just turns him on. Especially when he sees Matt move in the black suit, which emphasizes all his muscles, particularly when he is all sweaty and worked up.
Foggy asks Matt to show him some moves, so he can defend himself. He ends up pinned under Matt, sporting a hard-on.
8. Matt Is Into Marking
Matt is into biting and marking up his partners during sex, because he can feel the difference in their skin when he touches the spots.
9. Matt and Sex Toys
Matt has a collection of toys with different textures (like ridges and nubs and the likes), because his heightened senses let him feel these even more intensely than smooth toys. When he uses them, he gets overstimulated easily, which is a kink of his.
10. Matt Is a Voyeur (Non-Con)
So. Imagine Matt not being in a relationship. Imagine him being horny and wanting to have a wank. He closes his eyes, because even if he is blind, it subconsciously helps him concentrate. And then he listens. He listens to the city and weaves his way through unnecessary noises, until he can hear someone having sex/masturbating. And he tunes in to them and starts.
11. Matt and Foggy Being in a Relationship Without Realizing It
It took them years until they realized that, normally, friends didn't hold hands at every opportunity. Or that, normally, friends didn't kiss each other on the cheek quite as much as they did. And, at last, that, normally, friends didn't call each other up to have sex every so often.
It was just something they did.
12. The Fratt Thing I Posted Separately Already
Sex with Frank was never soft or loving—it was rough and carnal, an urgent desire needing to be sated. It was an itch to be scratched, some deep dwelling need, a fire to be kindled and to never burn out. There was no caressing, no gentle touches, no sweet kisses; just blood, and teeth, and nails digging into skin until it broke.
With Frank it was just fucking.
Until it wasn't.
For Sunday night Sleepover Saturday: Headcanons - for your current pairing of choice, please!
Oh. Oooooohhhh! Oh no. You opened Pandora's Box. I have far too many headcanons. You know me. Why did you do this?? I will limit myself to five (three SFW, two NS//FW), otherwise I won't stop.

Once their relationship is established, Frank and Matt can be completely, utterly, and disgustingly domestic. Frank will cook breakfast and kiss Matt goodbye, before Matt heads out for work. They can sit on the couch for hours, just being together, one leaning against the other, feet in laps, hands casually touching, while each of them does their own thing.
When they occasionally start working together, Matt learns that Frank likes to read while on stakeouts. Without being asked to, Frank starts to read out loud, voice low and rumbling, and even if Matt is not interested in the book, he likes to listen to Frank's voice.
They definitely settle their differences with their fists, fighting and punching each other until they're bloody and bruised, until their breath comes out in labored puffs. And when they're both tired, exhaustion settling in their bones, they'll limp off towards one of their apartments and patch each other up.

Matt and Frank both get off on that beard burn. Like. Gosh, they like it rough, and the scratch is just another turn-on. When they have sex, their thighs will be red from the constant scratching, skin around their mouths tender from rough kissing and the continuous rub.
While Frank's cock is wider in girth, like, he is really damn thick and heavy, Matt's is more slender and longer with a nice, little curve.
Sex with Frank was never soft or loving—it was rough and carnal, an urgent desire needing to be sated. It was an itch to be scratched, some deep dwelling need, a fire to be kindled and to never burn out. There was no caressing, no gentle touches, no sweet kisses; just blood, and teeth, and nails digging into skin until it broke.

Whassup! My first Fratt fic, you’ve been warned. *finger guns*
You know the drill. Heed the tags, don’t come whining, it’s exactly what it says on the tin, yadda yadda.
Hey! I saw the prompt list and would like to suggest this to you. Thank you :D

Thank you! <3

🎤 how loud they are
Hoooh boooy! *cracks knuckles*
After a mission, when they're still out, running across rooftops, adrenaline flooding through their veins, they sometimes find themselves in a dark alley or pressed against a roof access door. They're frantic, movements uncoordinated, Frank fighting with all the buckles on Matt's suit, until his trousers finally drop. That's when they do their best to stay silent, breathy gasps and pants, moans muffled against fabric and sweat-slick skin, until they both come undone. It's quiet and quick and only a way to let off steam.
But when they're in the private space of Matt's apartment or one of Frank's safe houses, they take their time, taking each other apart, not having to hide. And they can get loud, Matt especially, not holding back. He moans loudly and unashamed, responding to every little touch Frank bestows upon him, beautifully. He is so sensitive. And he lets loose. Frank isn't as loud, but he doesn't hold back, either. His moans are more like grunts, muffled unintentionally by burying his teeth in Matt's flesh as they fuck.
“There is quite a profound understanding as to why you shouldn’t abuse magic in any way. May it be the dangers of unknown spells or artifacts, or repercussions you will face from the entities you’re borrowing your powers from, ruling over entire dimensions, who could swallow you whole. It can wreak whole worlds, can end your life, and endanger your loved ones. It can change or even end our universe as we know it. Just because of one tiny, stupid action.
So why, pray tell, are you using your magic to fuck your boyfriend, Stephen?”
– Wong (probably at one point, when he found Stephen and Tony fucking in the library once again)
Okay, okay, okay. You see, they are not exactly the youngest anymore and both have several chronic injuries to call their own, so a slippery shower is not their preferred playground. But they enjoy some play time in there occasionally. Not full-on penetrative sex, mind you, because of aforementioned slipperiness, but a bit of fondling, a hand-job, or some fingering can be nice as well.
It usually goes like this:
Tony or Stephen (mostly Tony, let's be honest here) will initiate it by scrubbing the other and giving some special attention to the other's dick. Let's say it's Tony this time around. He will were a smug little grin, the damn asshole, and keep on … cleaning Stephen's cock thoroughly, until it's lying hard and heavy in his hand.
"Look at that, someone got excited," Tony grins with a fucking self-satisfaction that makes Stephen's blood boil. But it's not like he isn't enjoying the treatment, so he lets it slide. I mean, they both like the occasional getting off in the shower, so why not?
So Stephen gestures Tony to get on with it, and Tony would love nothing more than to get on his knees and suck Stephen dry. But there are a few things that keep him from doing exactly that: Old bones and hard tiles. No, sorry, he likes his knees too much to do this (that's also the reason they're using pillows by now if one of them knees during certain activities).
A blow-job is not an option, so of course Tony uses his very skilled hands, while backing Stephen up against the shower wall. And slowly Stephen starts to get into it as well, making Tony smile even more.
"You're such an ass," Stephen growls, before pressing his lips against Tony's in a very demanding way.
Let's just say it gets a bit more steamy than expected and they have to clean each other again after they're done. (Tony might've pushed a finger inside Stephen's hole, and it might have surprised Stephen so much that he came on the spot, making Tony laugh hysterically. Let's also say Stephen swore to take bitter revenge.)
Oh, that's a loaded question and you know it. Hands are a delicate topic between them, not only because Loki used to make fun of Stephen for not being able to do certain things with them, but also because of the deep insecurities Stephen has about his hands. And Loki hits these insecurities every. Single. Time.
But they worked through it and Loki actually apologized. Yes, you read that right. Stephen couldn't believe it, either, and remained doubtful, until Loki gently took his hands and kissed every single scar (while looking Stephen in the eyes). It took some time, but now Stephen trusts Loki with his hands, and he isn't ashamed anymore to ask Loki for help if he can't do something on his own (even though he could use magic, but there's something so satisfying about having Loki handle things for him with a care that the god rarely displays).
Ah, but I'm sure you want to hear about the more intimate things concerning their hands, right? And, oh, if you only knew. It's not like Stephen can do much with his hands without channeling magic through them. He can't finger Loki, he can't even give him a proper hand-job. Hell, he can't even masturbate or finger himself! It's quite frustrating. But you know what? Loki understands. And he is incredibly turned on when Stephen offers him a hand-job on the very rare occasions it happens. It takes longer to get Loki to come, but it's also so much more intimate and in these moments Loki is flooded with love for Stephen, because Stephen sets his only comfort aside to do something he knows Loki enjoys (and Loki really only enjoys hand-jobs more, because they come from Stephen).
And Loki? Well, if he doesn't use magic with a sneaky grin on his face, his hands are magic themselves. He can make Stephen scream and gasp and pant with a few very well executed moves, reducing him to a puddle of pleasure. And Loki loves having this power over Stephen. Well, and Stephen loves being pleasured this way—even though he likes Loki's silver tongue more.
