Rekindle That Which Crashed and Burned

"The pain didn't matter."
Karen made a decision, stepping onto the ledge with Matt, her blue gaze even with his hazel.
"It matters," she stated in kind.

They could build something new out of their broken pieces. It was a dangerous thought, but Karen wasn't one for backing down when she wanted something.

Sort of a prelude to Those Who Remain that I may or may not incorporate in the future (The first part of the first chapter of Undue Vehemence is a conversation they've already had, although this story isn't mutually exclusive).
Set after Season 3 (although there are no spoilers). About three months have passed since the finale, Nelson, Murdock, & Page established and running (relatively) smoothly. Matt still goes out as Daredevil on a daily basis, although he's started ease a little in his nightly crusades, (at the behest of his coworkers).
Karen and Matt have slowly drifted towards each other again, events of the past keeping them uneasy and apart. Old flames are slowly rekindling, sparked by the ruined chances of the past.
