The Red Thread by PastaFossa
Fandoms: Daredevil (TV), Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Defenders (Marvel TV)
30 Mar 2026
Tags
Summary
It's said that every soul is connected to another by a red thread, and that these two souls are destined to meet. The thread, though it may tangle or stretch, will never break. That's not your experience, lucky or unlucky enough as you are to see the strings that bind people together. A red thread is developed and grown, not born, and you've worked hard to weed out any semblance of crimson that might cling to you. You pay your bills, you keep your head down, and you find whatever lost people or items you're hired to sniff out.
Then the Devil of Hell's Kitchen tags along on a job, and your plan falls apart.
Starts prior to Into the Ring, and loosely follows the canon timeline. There is eventually smut, so enter at your peril. Reader is never physically described but uses a false name and may be treated as an OC.

Summary
"His lips tasted like his chai tea, like cinnamon, and a little like the vanilla candies he kept tucked away in the pocket of the recliner. You couldn't help but savor the sweetness of it, the now-familiar heat of his breath in your mouth.
But the kiss didn't stay slow, stay sweet for long."

Summary
“Shoo,” you croaked. “My cold body. Go away. Go sit in the cold shower like I did.”

Summary
He snatched up the first aid kit, turned, and hurled it with a furious scream. It shattered against the wall in the hall, its impact leaving a crumbling hole in the drywall. Gauze and ointment, bottles of pills and splinters of plastic scattered left and right.
“Michael,” you said weakly. “I’m ok now. I promise.”
Or: After your kidnapping, and successful rescue thanks to Michael, you and him have a moment alone while he cares for your wounds.

Summary
He tried to throw you a small smile, but it was far too crooked, too brittle to be real, and you had a feeling his eyes weren’t red because of the rain. The moment he realized you didn’t buy the act, that shield fell away, and you were left with just Michael at his most exposed, empty and limp on your doorstep.
“That bad, eh?” he asked tiredly, trying for dark humor and missing by miles.

Summary
“What are you doing?” he murmured, fighting back a yawn as he adjusted his head on your lap, tipping it towards yours. It wasn’t like he could see you, but he liked to make sure you knew he was listening.
“Making you something.”

Summary
You’d had a long week. He remembered you telling him that the night before. You wouldn’t mind if he woke you up—you never did—but odds were good you needed your rest far more than you needed him dragging you up out of the haze of sleep for a sloppy, indulgent midnight fuck.
But then… he didn’t have to wake you up, did he?

Summary
“Welcome home, Mrs. Murdock,” he purred darkly, lazily dragging his tongue across his lips in a way that told you, quite clearly, what he was imagining. “If you need to shower or drink a glass of water, do it now. Because the second you enter this bedroom, you’re mine for the rest of the night. And I have no intention of letting you go until I’ve had my fill.”
Or: Dom!Matt lets his beard grow in and then goes down on you for hours. I regret nothing, blame the leaked Born Again trailer.

An Ode To A Coat by PastaFossa
Fandoms: Daredevil (TV), Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Defenders (Marvel TV), Daredevil: Born Again
10 Feb 2024
Tags
Summary
Matt lurched to a stop so suddenly you almost lost your balance. You quickly glanced back the moment you stumbled to a halt, only to find Matt’s reddened lips parted on a shaky breath, his broad chest heaving like he’d been ridden hard and put away wet. In the murky, amber-rich glow of the streetlights, his red glasses gleamed like the embers of a smoldering bonfire, his hand on his cane gone white-knuckled. He cocked his head dangerously slowly, predatory hunger on full display, his dark coat snapping around him in the late fall breeze. You had only a second to admire him before he seemed to make his decision. Before you could blink he yanked you sideways, dragging you into a nearby alley and behind a chest-high stack of cardboard boxes.
Oh fuck.
Or: You get a little too turned on in Josie's by Matt's new coat, so Dom!Matt winds up fucking you in an alley. That's it, that's the fic.

Summary
“No one will take you," Matt vowed. "I won’t let them, no matter what I have to do to stop them. What happened before—you didn’t have me. I’ll hear him coming from a mile away. We’ll be prepared for him."
“Other people promised me the same thing. And they were wrong.”
Prompted by an ask in my box: what would happen if all your attempts to stop him fail, and the Man in the White Coat captures you? What would happen to you and Matt?
Or: a dark, alternate timeline in which it all goes wrong.

The Other Side by PastaFossa
Fandoms: Daredevil (TV), Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Defenders (Marvel TV)
11 May 2023
Tags
Summary
Your tale, the tale of how you met, befriended, and ultimately fell in love with the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, is naturally limited by your own awareness. And yet there are moments—endless, pivotal moments in your relationship with him—in which you wonder what things were like from his perspective.
There are always two sides to every story.
Or: sometimes people on tumblr request Matt's POV of certain scenes in The Red Thread. Those moments are often NSFW, so proceed with caution.
