I hit 15000 words in NaNo today, catching up from being 6000 behind, and to celebrate I let myself write Daredevil fic. And then it was 3:00 AM, and I cried a little inside.

This is awesome! I actually don't seriously ship them (the Matt/Danny I wrote was a Yuletide request and at the time I barely knew who Iron Fist was), but I love this. It's not easy to write without using visuals (omg so not easy), and this fic has really terrific sensory detail that paints a clear picture regardless. And I really, really like the dynamic between the two of them here. ♥

In short, you're awesomesauce, and I'm off to read the sequel!

Thank you! And that's fair enough, though you wrote a pretty good Danny for not knowing much about him. :D Also, YOU ARE SO RIGHT ABOUT THAT. I always forget when I try to write Daredevil fic and then end up scrambling for other ways to describe what's going on. Hilariously, I end up going into much more descriptive sensory detail than I otherwise would. I really like what little of their dynamic we see in comics, so I guess here I just tried to explore it a bit.

Well, thank you again! Also, oh god, the sequel. I'll be hiding my head in shame over here.

I really like your Danny here. I think he's interesting, and I like that he's the only superhero to really have Matt's back when it counts. :)

Hee! That's my very favorite thing about writing Daredevil fic, at least from Matt's POV--you can go crazy with the sensory details, which I love taking to a synaesthesia-descriptive place. Smells that have colors? Sounds that taste? OH YES PLEASE. That's such a literary kink for me.

...Oh dear lord, you've just bunnied me. Or, I should say, I'm going to try to bunny you. :D There should absolutely be a fic where Matt takes Danny out in civvies, blindfolded, to experience the city and work on his other senses. Maybe it's Danny's idea, and Matt reluctantly agrees? I think you've made me, if not ship them, really love the idea of them as friends.

I really like what little of their dynamic we see in comicsI like the scene in Bendis' run where Luke and Danny go to ( ... )

Danny is an interesting guy! And I think not many superheroes would know to look for Matt in a crisis -- Luke or Danny or Peter, maybe, and even then only if they were keeping tabs on him. Which, in this fic, we're assuming Danny was.

I've gotta try that. I do the synaesthesia thing sometimes, but not as a substitute for visuals, and I think I could really go off with that in Daredevil fic. :D Looks like I'll have to write more.

HA! I guess I'll have to write that one, then. I think it could be a lot of fun. I really like them as friends too. Honestly, I ship Matt with everyone, so it's not like I wrote this expecting everyone else to exclaim their own devotion to the 'ship.

I HAVEN'T READ THAT ONE. I need to go find more of Bendis' run, apparently.

Wow. Thank you so much. I definitely will write more -- I've been itching to write Daredevil fic for ages, and haven't been too good at following through, but NaNoWriMo does strange things to my productivity levels. I'm really glad you liked it, and that it came across as in-character. :D

Makes a high pitched sound that only dolphins can hear.

You really get what makes the Danny&Matt team so interesting, in addition to capturing Danny's determined loyalty. Well done.

(I've also written a Daredevil/Iron Fist story. It's very short, though. Mysterious Skin.)

:D Good to see you enjoyed this! I really like their dynamic, so it's nice to know I've done it justice.

(And thanks for the link! I'll read it directly.)
