Book One of the Hellfire Series:

Sequestered in the heart of New York City lies Hell's Kitchen, where dark alleyways hold deadly secrets and control of the law is constantly fought for by those who have no respect for it. Within this city we find Melanie and Maria, twin sisters with more than their fair share of skeletons in the closet. When their father...Well, we don't say his name...enlists the help of his daughters to dispose of those threatening his power, Melanie and Maria find themselves on opposing ends of a war they've been training for their entire lives.

As the twins' father attempts to bend the law to his will, attorneys Matthew Murdock and Franklin "Foggy" Nelson strive to uphold it with their up-and-coming law firm. When the friends and coworkers are hired to represent a young woman accused of murder, the trio becomes tangled in a web of corruption and violence that threatens to tear them apart.

All locations, most events, and all characters except for Melanie and Maria belong to Marvel, Netflix, and Disney.

Justice is Not Blind ☠ The Punisher by chelraychicago

No one did a thing to prevent it and no one did a thing to make it right once it was done. Losing her sister-in-law, her niece and nephew was hard enough as it was, but her big brother growing distant made the pain worse. Dani is pulled into the grey world of rights and wrongs as her brother earns a name among the men who took their family from them, the Punisher. So when he is caught, Dani takes it upon herself to do everything she can to keep her brother alive. But as she gets more entrenched in it all, Dani will discover that not everything was quite what it appeared to be and she is only just starting down the bloody rabbit's hole. Set in Daredevil season 2 I own none of the characters or story except for Dani and her story.

Love On Fire by LokillA4

"I mean seriously, Matt, you can smell when I walk into a room, hear my heart every time I lie! For fucks sake, you can taste blood in the fucking air! But you can't tell when someone loves you?!" I practically yell, outraged with what's going on between us. "Who ever said that, Daeva?! I knew the second you loved me!" He yells as he bolts out of his seat, causing him to groan in discomfort from the stitches. "Than why the games?! If you don't love me back you could have just told me." I tell him, my chest rising and falling from our argument. "Even without the heightened senses, you know damn well I love you. You don't need to hear my heat beat for that. But if it will goddamn make you believe me..." He grunts angrily, grabbing a hold of my wrist and placing my cold fingers over his fast beating heart. "Tell me doctor, is this the feeling of a lying mans heart?" He whispers, his lips grazing my ear. I take in a deep breath and close my eyes about to respond. "You know your heart rate changes when you're about to say something, right?" He jokes with a knowing grin on his face. I bite my lip, hiding my smile before I press my lips onto his. "Now you're just showing off." I whisper as my hands travel to the back of his head, gripping onto his hair to push him onto me. 𓍊𓋼𓍊𓋼𓍊 One night after a long day at work Daeva Novak finds a bloody masked man in a dumpster in her rough neighborhood of Hell's Kitchen.

Bounty Hunter [REWRITTEN VERSION] by ATTiger

"Captain, please reconsider. There's no way I'll be able to work with her. She's reckless, she doesn't follow orders, and she's a danger to the operation. Bounty hunters will sell out anything for the right price. What makes you think we can trust her?" "I'm not asking you to trust her. I'm asking you to trust me." "I do. But I don't need her, Captain, I'm perfectly capable of doing this on my own..." * * * Maize Ember is the most cunning and most feared Bounty Hunter in all of New York City. She's ruthless, but she's the best. She can take down any criminal, she can fight any bad guy, and most importantly, she does not take crap from anyone. Not even Alec West, the top ranked detective in the precinct and her unspoken competitive rival. But when a new case comes to light, and Alec and Maize find themselves going on a high risk mission, together, they can't believe it. With the help of each other they must protect a long ago friend of Alec's, an undercover cop that holds valuable information that could bring down the Crime Syndicate that has been terrorizing the streets for years. Can they put their distasteful feelings towards each other aside for the sake of the mission? Alec doesn't think he can trust anyone. Maize doesn't trust anyone. What will the two do when they realize they stumbled into something much bigger than themselves - and that an old ghost from Maize's past might be back to haunt them both? It all comes down to a game of cat and mouse...

Shook Hands With the Devil by lilacandg00seberries

You and Matthew Murdock hated each other. You guys used to be friends, but a sudden rupture formed between the two of you, causing broken hearts and longing. From friends, to academic rivals, to ambitious lawyers, to reluctant work partners, the story of Matt and yours relationship is one of anger, mistrust, and emotions. What both of you don't realize is that you both have alter egos that work to protect the people of Hell's Kitchen outside of the court room; Daredevil and Umbra. As these alter egos, the usual coldness is met with openness and cooperation, neither realizing who the other is. Will these hard feeling lay way for something more intimate, or will their own pride and stubbornness lead them apart? ༺═──────────────═༻ vigilante!reader x daredevil *potential to have smut, minors dni **tw: blood, violence, cursing, medical terms, arguing, guns, misogyny, more to be added and some chapters specifically tagged *** is not canon-compliant, does not follow any story line, and sorry for any inaccuracies

The Devil's Moon (Finished) by BriCo978

I left Hell's Kitchen and everyone when I was eighteen and never looked back. I never thought much about that shit hole I called home. I moved as far away from them as I could. All the way to California. I went to L.A. with the hopes of being a big star. Let's just say it did not work out to well. By the time I was twenty-five, I was completely broke and my big break had never come. I had no choice but to move home, but I refused to move back to Hell's Kitchen. So I went to live with my cousin Jer-Jer in Manhattan. She was older than me and working for Wendell Rand at Ran Enterprises. So she was well enough off to have a two bedroom apartment that she was willing to share. I was living in Manhattan for a few months when my past finally caught up with me one rainy night. An old friend walked into the club I worked in and sucked me back into his crazy ass life. Highest ranking #1 in daredevil #1 in Foggy # 1 in Luke Cage #9 in Frank Castle #11 in Matt Murdock

The Girl They Never Noticed by The_Outkast

✨COMPLETED✨ I took a few steps before I stopped to face him again. "Jay?" I said, barely above a whisper. "Hmm?" "I love you. You know that right?" I asked, kind of unsure. "of course. Of course I do." He said, scrunching his eyebrows as if he doesn't understand why I would randomly say that. "I love you very much." I repeated, every bone in my body aching from this pain, this betrayal. What I'm doing, or going to do, is definitely some form of betrayal. But I don't have a choice, right? He needs to understand that I don't have a choice. Or do I? "I do too. But...Why are you saying it like that?" He asked, feeling a little anxious. "Like what?" I replied, praying to dear God he doesn't say something that'll make me cry. "Like you're saying goodbye." 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 Alexis Pierce is just another high school clumsy story.
