Defenders Prompt Fest
The new (and last *sob*) Jessica Jones season comes out on Friday. Let's celebrate the world of the Netflix Defenders shows with a good old-fashioned commentfic fest!
This is for all shows in the Netflix Defenders universe: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Defenders, and Punisher.
Rules:
• All characters and pairings are welcome! No ship/character bashing.
• Crossovers are welcome as long as they include at least one Defendersverse character.
• Your prompt should include one or more characters ("any" is fine), and a prompt which may be long or short, specific or not, even a graphic or image. Use "/" for a romantic ship and "&" for a gen pairing.
• Please include "FILL" in the subject line for your fills. This will help me compile a list of fills.
• There is no minimum or maximum length. Non-fic fills (e.g. art) are also welcome.
• Anonymous prompts, anonymous fills, more than one fill for the same prompt, and filling your own prompts are all fine. You can also use them to fill spaces on a bingo card, e.g. h/c bingo, if the bingo rules allow it.
• It's fine to comment on prompts with encouragement and squee as well as fills!
You are invited to add your fill to the Defenders Prompt Fest collection on AO3 if you like!
>>>> Master list of filled prompts.>>>>
I will add new fills as they come in.
SPOILER POLICY: When the new JJ season airs on Friday, I will create a new post for spoiler prompts and fills. Please avoid leaving spoilery prompts for JJ3 here. It's okay to include JJ3 spoilers in fills here, but please put SPOILER in the subject of the comment so people will know. (And to help your mod avoid being spoiled herself!)
The spoiler post for JJ3 spoilers is now up!
You are encouraged to promote this fest widely! It will remain open to new prompts until at least a couple of weeks beyond the airing of the new JJ season, and open to fills indefinitely.

FILL: Elektra, post DD season 3
Oh Matthew, what are you doing?
Her thoughts went unvoiced, as she watched him from her rooftop perch. He was wearing a new suit, of nicer quality than those she remembered him in, and walked arm in arm with his… partners, Elektra supposed, if their new sign was anything to go by.
Nelson, Murdock and Page.
They were laughing as they walked, comfortable and happy.
Matthew seemed at peace. He had for the past two weeks that she'd been watching him, a contentedness surrounding him in everything he did.
Elektra didn't believe it would last. She was sure there must be something missing from this new life of his. He couldn't just be a lawyer and nothing else.
She'd been following him since both of their returns from death that never quite seemed to take. For months, though, it had been from afar, as she too recovered and rebuilt herself, figuring out who she had been and the beginnings of who she might be now. Elektra had tracked him through newspapers and internet gossip. The return of Wilson Fisk; a Daredevil who made himself the enemy of the city; and rumors once again of a man in black fighting to put things right.
When she'd finally seem him in the flesh, it was a different Matthew than one she'd ever known before. He hadn't spotted her, but it was obvious from the occasional way he stopped and quirked his head at nothing she could perceive that he knew he was being watched. She wondered if he suspected it was her. She liked to think so.
Elektra continued watching him, trying to figure out who this new Matthew was. Late into the night, she was just settling down for a doze in a doorway a block from his apartment, when she noticed movement.
A man all in black raced across the rooftops above her. Matthew.
She quickly climbed the building next to her to keep pace with him on the other side of the street. He moved as gracefully as ever, but now with what seemed like a different kind of exhilaration than had surrounded him before. Curious, she let herself get closer—almost directly across from him—as he threw himself down the side of a building, jumping from one fire escape to the next, before landing amidst what could only be a mugging turned violent.
Five men and two victims, with Matthew in the middle of them. There had been zero hesitation in him. His fighting was different. He seemed more together, reconciled, integrated. Instead of burning with the rage of injustice that had driven him for so long, this new Matthew felt (not cold, he could never do cold) like there was a kind of purity within him. She thought maybe like steel, although she wasn't happy with that metaphor, as there was nothing rigid in the way he moved.
He was beautiful to watch.
As he handily dispatched the muggers and helped the victims to their feet, he stood for a moment with his back to her, still.
Elektra smiled, without any doubt that he knew she was there. She yearned to go to him, to meet this new Matthew, but she wasn't ready yet. She still had her own journey to complete. But now that she knew he would be alright, she could turn her focus back to herself. Maybe she could even find a similar kind of peace as he had. She looked forward to her return one day, when they could relearn each other together.
