Daredevil: There's A Way by ShowMeAHero
There's A Way (Foggy/Matt | R | 18,760 words | sequel to Water's Rough): Matt's life with Foggy and their children is going well until Foggy gets sick and Bullseye shows up again. This is a fun adventure with lots of heart that also, if you're familiar with them, incorporates a lot of bits from the comics in a neat way.
Excerpt:
"What's up?" Foggy asks, because of course he's noticed that Matt's distracted. They've known each other for a long time, now.
"Someone's following us," Matt whispers. Foggy's heartbeat spikes.
"Should we take a different route?" Foggy asks. We shouldn't go home, Foggy doesn't say, but Matt knows it's true as if they had spoken it. Matt steers Foggy to the right instead of the left, away from their apartment, and starts planning how to best take down whoever's coming after them. Foggy's steps falter, and he guides them down an alleyway.
"Trash can on your left," Foggy says. Matt picks up the lid of it just as someone jumps from the roof and lands in the alleyway with them. "Jesus Christ—"
"Murdock and Murdock," a voice says. It's Benjamin Poindexter. He sounds… different, than the last time Matt had spoken to him, years ago.
"Nice costume," Foggy comments. Matt shuffles slightly, hoping that he's obscuring Foggy from view. Foggy's heart is thumping loud, fast, but he's not afraid, not yet. It's just adrenaline. He;s ready to fight, too. "I particularly like that little target on your head."
"It's a bullseye," Dex says.
"Oh, you're Bullseye," Foggy says. Matt wants him to be quiet, just for one second, but, if he didn't try to talk his way out of everything, he wouldn't be Foggy. Instead, Matt uses the time Foggy's buying them, determines the exact shape of the alley, the placement of everything in it, and how best to take Bullseye down with minimal carnage and noise. "Came back for seconds?"
