Title: 'Till Our Wide Eyes Burn Blind
Fandoms: Jessica Jones, Daredevil
Rating: Mature
Relationships: Jessica Jones & Hope Shlottman, Matt Murdock & Hope Shlottman
Summary: Jessica’s hand curls into a fist. “It wasn’t my fault,” she says, very low and very, very hard. “You blame it on me and I swear to God—“
“My brother thinks I’m dead. My aunt’s paying me a couple hundred bucks a month to keep it that way.”
Jessica’s fist uncurls. Her eyes stay hard. 
Hope’s almost enjoying this, spewing all the boiling bitter ugliness no amount of therapy, meds, or schnapps can fix, but her next words make her want to spit. 
“I’m your problem now.”

Though this fic put me through the ringer, it's the longest piece of work I've done in...well, in a long time, and one of the stories I'm most proud of. I'd love to cook up a more in-depth post about my influences and process while writing it, so you can expect that tomorrow or the day after. For now I think I'll just go ahead and collapse.
