'Cause I'm stupid and I'm damaged and you're a disaster
When you walk into the room, oh, none of it matters
Oh, baby, I just buckle, my resolution in tatters
'Cause I know it won't work, but make it ache, make it hurt
I'm not better than this, show me what I'm worth
Keep me a secret, choose someone else
I'll still be here hanging off, I'm hanging off
The buckle on your beltMatt Murdock gets moved from prison to house arrest. That's not going to stop Dex from finding him.

Summary
“You caught me. I consulted my priest, and he advised me that Jesus needed a new advocate for the downtrodden and poor after all the good work JFK did for putting Catholics into the public consciousness in the ‘60s. So here I am, saving Hell’s Kitchen one Cy Young winner at a time.”
Or: In another life, Dex never stopped playing baseball, and applied his talents to other disciplines rather than sniping people with paperclips from 100 feet away. Somehow, he ends up arrested and finds himself held in a police interrogation room asking a certain legal team to defend him anyways.

Summary
So, Dex forced himself to shut up. But Murdock still didn’t move, only cocked his head a little to the side, eyes drifting away in thought. “Your heart’s beating pretty fast.” He spoke quietly, and Dex felt like a fucking wine glass ready to shatter from the rumble in his throat. Matt was testing him. Seeing if he’d cower from this.. display. But what the hell was he hoping would happen?
His eyes darted in between the other man’s, back and forth and back and forth—his heart was only beating faster, and Matt knew, God, he fucking knew—Dex was a cornered animal, and this guy was just waiting for him to lose his shit. His eyes drifted to the cut, the spark of joy at its existence immediately overwhelmed by.. this. “You know that’s creepy, right?”
“Yeah, I know.” A hand crept towards his face. Dex briefly thought that he would burst into flames.

Summary
“Sorry.” The man had a nice voice, Matt thought. Clear. A tenor. “I’m–I’m here. Sorry, I didn’t want to say anything and startle you. Sorry.”
Matt’s lips twitched. “It’s alright.” He inclined his head, pushing off of the wall and extending his hand. “Matthew Murdock.”
The slightest bit of hesitation, before Matt found his hand grasped in a surprisingly firm grip. “Benjamin. Ben Poindexter." He cleared his throat. “But I go by Dex, usually.”
Matt grinned. “And I go by Matt.” He tilted his head, flashing a smile. “Usually.”
Matt and Dex meet each other in college.

Summary
The alarms went off again, this time closer. John headed towards the exit, but Bob’s lost, helpless expression made him pause at the door. He knew that he was leaving that man to a terrible fate — more experiments, at best, and a one-way trip to the morgue, at worst.
John had compromised a lot of his morals over the past few years, but one bridge he wouldn’t cross was to turn his back on an innocent life. “Come on,” he said, extending a hand. “You aren’t safe here. Let’s go.”
This one more time, he could play hero.
~*~
A canon divergence AU in which John rescues Bob from the OXE lab in Malaysia prior to the events of the movie. Is it possible to keep Bob safe while under the employ of Valentina? How much is it worth it to John to be seen as a hero again?

Summary
Gustave survives his encounter with Renoir, all thanks to the help of a mysterious (and handsome) stranger named Verso. While Gustave is grateful, he also remains on guard, uncertain about why Verso has so graciously decided to not only help, but also join their expedition. Driven by curiosity, he chats with the man, determined to find out more.
However, with each conversation, Gustave discovers new and surprising depths to Verso. At the same time, he finds himself being drawn closer, both physically and emotionally, something that is as frightening as it is electrifying.
And when it becomes increasingly clear that Verso feels the same about him, how deep is he willing to fall?

Summary
"This feeling that all my thoughts and memories… that they’re not mine, that they’ve been put into my head by somebody else… does it ever go away?”
It comes out almost pleadingly, the desperation Gustave tried to suppress for months now bleeding into his voice.
Something softens in Verso’s expression.
Or: the Maelle ending. Coming to terms with being brought back and repainted. Gustave is looking for some answers, so he goes to the one person who can provide them. Verso is absolutely done with this life, but feels obligated to at least talk to him.
They find that being a copy of a dead man is less unbearable when you're not alone.

Summary
“I want to die.”
That gets his attention — Gustave’s eyes fly wide open, and he takes a step back. Like Verso is a lunatic who is better to be avoided. “I beg your pardon?”
“I want to die,” Verso repeats. “And I can’t do it on my own. You’re one of the smartest men in Lumière, you’re good with chroma. I need your help.”
Or: Verso is trying to find a way out. Gustave helps.

Summary
The girl’s shoulders hunch again. An expression is battling on her face. Guilt again, and fear, and shame. And then faintly, in the soft turn of her cheek, commiseration. She watches Gustave for a long, sad moment, and then turns to a new page in the notepad. She starts writing something, and then stops, glancing furtively at Gustave before scribbling it out. On a new line she instead writes in big bold letters:
Maelle.
OR
Gustave is the local mechanic of Lumiere, an idyllic coastal village far away from the chaos and conflict of Paris. Struggling with his recent injury and the loss of a good friend, he's not quite prepared when a family moves into the abandoned Manor on the edge of town.
He's definitely not prepared for their children.

Summary
There was a soft knock on the door. “Come in,” John called out, not bothering to get up.
The door opened slowly, and then Bob shuffled in, dressed in a gray henley and flannel pants. It looked like he had taken a shower, his hair combed back, but still wet, and that this simple act of hygiene had worn him to the bone.
"Can I sleep here?" he asked, voice hoarse. His eyes were red-rimmed, like he had been crying. "I don't want to be alone."
~*~
Bob falls asleep in John's bed and traps them both in the Void's shame rooms. Will John be able to get them both out without making things worse?

"What do you say?" he asked Alpine as she rolled over in a sunbeam, exposing the white fluff of her stomach long enough for him to get a few good scratches in. "We spend the holidays in DC, eating takeout and pretending the outside world doesn't exist?"
She meowed, and to him, it was as good as a yes.

Summary
“I’m psychotic. You know I’m psychotic. You’ve known that.” It was true, Yelena had known that, but she was shocked that Bob actually said the words he’d avoided for so long. “You’ve all known for months. Why are you mad at me for it now?”
“Bob, I’m not mad.” She sounded a little mad, admittedly, but it was because she was irritated. Because it was impossible to talk to him about something that was so damn important. “I’m not mad at you, okay? I just want to understand what you’re going through so that I can help you.”
“I don’t need help. I don’t want your help.”
Bob, in the midst of an undiagnosed manic episode, decides to get his GED. Ava and Yelena join him.
