Summary
Karen squeezes her eyes shut, “I don’t need Daredevil to be my personal bodyguard.”
A large hand settles on her knee, the warmth spreading through her leg.
“I hear you. But if you really think the mess of us is going to stop me from caring about you, protecting you, then you really don’t understand my feelings for you at all.”
/
When Karen finds herself with a stalker, she is determined to handle it alone and not involve Matt at all. For the sake of their complicated friendship. But when Matt finds out, he has other ideas. Because if there is one thing he knows, it's that he isn't about to let anyone harm Karen Page. As the threat to Karen's safety grows, they both struggle with their unspoken feelings for each other which get harder to ignore. And maybe, they don't actually want to ignore them anymore.

Summary
“You want to tell me why I’m about to clock out so I can head home and change before heading to the church when the bride is sitting in an interrogation room handcuffed to a table?”
Karen wants to cry, “Our justice system is flawed?”
This can not be happening.
She cannot miss her own wedding.
She cannot leave Matt alone at the altar waiting for her. She knows how his mind works, knows it will split in two. Half of him worried she has been taken, the other half worried she has abandoned him because she can’t do this.
/
It's Matt and Karen's wedding day, except the bride is under arrest, the ceremony is about to start and Karen is determined not to have this be the memory Matt is left with on the happiest day of their lives. One thing is certain though, the wedding of Matt Murdock and Karen Page was never going to be simple.

Summary
“I can’t just…” His whole body sways as if it physically pains him to finish that sentence.
The heat presses against her skin, “You’ve had one night stands before, right?”
Matt’s knuckles turn white, “Not like this. Not with you.”
“Or we can just go back to pretending?” She offers, pressing her thighs together to emphasise her point, “Just let it build and build and build until it explodes and we end up right back here without the rules or boundaries to keep us safe.”
“Safe?”
“From each other.”
He flinches.
/
During a record-breaking heatwave, Matt and Karen have no choice but to confront the sexual attraction they still feel towards each other when things come to a head at the office. They come up with an agreement, one night to get it out of their systems and then back to normal. Except just one night isn't what either of them wants and admitting that might just break their newly built friendship.

Summary
“It was just a nightmare.”
“You were screaming like it wasn’t.”
She winces, dry throat cracking like splintered glass. She didn’t want him to see this. To see her like this.
Broken and damaged and so fucked up she is shaking. The scars of her soul, the things she can’t escape. She knows Matt is sensing it all, cataloguing it in his mind like she’s braille he can run his fingers over.
/
The five times Matt comforts Karen after a nightmare and the one time she returns the favour.

Summary
Matt Murdock is dead. Enough of him anyway. Whatever crawled out of Midland Circle is more devil than human and it needs to stay that way. But Matt can’t just let his old life go, his old friends go. When he finds Karen has been staying at his old apartment, he can’t resist checking in on her. When she shows up one night bleeding and hurt, Matt Murdock resurrects himself from the grave to keep her safe.
Karen Page is falling apart and pretending she’s fine. One unexpected night brings Matt back to her and forces her to confront a lot of long buried feelings that have been resurrected with him. Can her and Matt finally be honest with each other and themselves or will the threat of Fisk destroy any hope for Nelson, Murdock and Page?

Summary
For a long moment, he sat there, paralyzed… then the words she'd spoken finally sank in.
I found this at Josie's. I thought you might want it.
He thought of her holding it. Rubbing her thumb across it the way he was now.
A year, he licked his lips. She kept it all this time… did she know, that somewhere, sometime, she'd give it back to him?
He closed it in his hand and felt a desperate pull in her direction, a war waging inside of him - Stay, or go after her? Respect her wishes, or…
What if Matt had gone after Karen in the courthouse after Poindexter's sentencing?
A little karedevil fix-it ficlet.
Title and inspiration from the song Smokestack by Alkaline Trio.

Summary
The uncomfortable plastic chair creaks under Frank's weight, its sound disrupting the steady beat of the heart monitor machine filling the room. The stench of disinfectant, common in hospitals, burns his nose as he inhales, only half-listening to the people passing by outside the room, blissfully unaware of his presence; their steps are nothing more than background noise that he no longer pays attention to. He doesn't pay attention to anything.
Except for the girl lying in bed in front of him.

Summary
It’s a short clip, but it’s a good one. Karen can see the Devil’s grin, that wide, dangerous thing. She can hear his huffing, grunting breaths, and his animal roar when the offender tries to slip away. She can see that he has no interest in being careful. She can see that he doesn’t want to stop.
Karen sees someone who understands.
Online, everything Matt ever hid from Karen is only click away. After Matt’s confession, she watches videos of Daredevil fighting, and finds his rage and violence turn her on; when he fights an attacker right in front of her, it’s no different.
And Karen’s done with things being hidden away.

Summary
Matt has been so busy he hasn't realized he's been neglecting Karen, who never expected to be discussing her sexual frustrations with Foggy, who will more than likely need a stiff drink after dealing with these idiots.
