Daredevil: Cornflower Blue by inkforhumanhands
Cornflower Blue (Fisk/Wesley | PG13 | 1,258 words): Fisk has a request of Wesley. This has a wonderful character voice for Wesley, and I love how it looks at the relationship between Wesley and Fisk.
Excerpt:
It took a special kind of determination to have weathered an unarticulated promise to stay put on his aunt's farm in Iowa while he tended his high school resume and Fisk built his connections out on the east coast in the dark. It’d been tough. There had been no contact between them, and, as he put on years that, one by one, distanced him from the lovesick child who'd presented his departing neighbor with a bouquet of weeds from the unkempt fringes of his farm's cornfield, he'd often wondered if the phone would ever ring with the summons he’d convinced himself was coming.
But even then, his resolve hadn't wavered. He'd polished himself till the shine made him worth something: a business degree, foreign language skills, and social graces. And he'd been rewarded for his patience and hard work most handsomely with a place at Fisk's side and one half of his bed.
