Summary
Matt and Sister Maggie talk in the Lord’s stomach.
The basement walls of the Church echo and ache. Water drips unevenly from the sink, still faintly smelling of blood and mucus. Matt’s feet throb from standing and the cool night air slips in through cracks in the brick.
Sister Maggie’s pulse thrums steadily. Her voice does not waver.
“Can you be trusted to be back on your own?”Or, Matt in the aftermath.

Summary
Post-apocalyptic Daredevil AU. Aliens invade a few months after season one and it's a complete shitshow. Surprise!
Includes, but is not limited to: a rehabilitated zombie, a ridiculous amount of beeping noises, people that know too much about guns, people that know too much about intestines, a green sky, metaphors piling up (like crumbling skyscrapers!), spooky subway tunnels, singing oldies, worrying a lot, bleeding a lot, word soup, dog whistles, finding hope, finding clean toilet water, and finding a family that you didn't realize was right there the entire time.
(These stories are canon and are listed in chronological order, although you should definitely start at the big one, Sunshine, as suggested by user hujwernoo. For more delicious but AU side-stories, click right here.)

Summary
Fisk gets put away again, and it feels like that should be the end of it, but it’s not. Of course it’s not. The FBI needs a win. Who better to take that out on than the lawyers who exposed their corruption.
I am not Daredevil, Matt says so many times in so many spaces that he almost believes it.
His ability to maintain a concept of self was difficult enough before this: this new judgment day, this thing that has fractured him beyond what he thought was possible. He feels like he’s been dropped into the ocean, all his limbs weighted with stones, unable to find which way is up and which way is down, which way is surface and which way is gone.
Later, he'll try to think about it objectively, distance himself from this new kind of violence that inhabits his body. He'll grapple with the defined edges of his constantly shifting memory, carefully delineate the before from the after, turn his conclusion over and over in his mind. As it turns out, he observes, living feels a lot like drowning.
[An exploration of trauma and memory, of what it might look like if Matt's identity as Daredevil was exposed. Prison fic. Post-S3.]
