Daredevil: Hunger by anti_ela

Hunger (Foggy/Marci | PG13 | 1,251 words): Foggy and Marci's first day on campus and their first meeting. This is such a lovely bit of backstory for Marci, and the Foggy/Marci portion is delightful.

Excerpt:
Two weeks later, the campus would be full, but when Marci arrived it was quiet. After directing the movers, she tipped the men and immediately forgot them. Two beds, two wardrobes, two desks. The walls were white, but the window faced east. She walked over to it and looked out, one hand on the glass, watching as other students and their families parted. One man had fifteen people with him, each wearing a loud blue shirt with his face on it. She couldn’t hear him from this far away, but every so often he would climb on top of a wall or a rock and make what was probably a ridiculous speech to thunderous applause, complete with hoots and whistles. She leaned her forehead against the cool glass and watched them until they went out of sight.
