SYNOPSIS:

𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐏𝐄𝐑 𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐀 𝐃𝐑𝐔𝐆 𝐀𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐓, 𝐒𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐀𝐃𝐌𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓. And she could fault any number of reasons as to why she turned out this way too; the childhood abuse, the ease of access, the estranged family, her fucked up life, her continual habit of participating in self-destructive practises. There were so many factors that contributed to her addiction that she had even begun to lose count. But the one thing she did know, it all started with her parents.

Her father was a hotshot politician, a man of grand promises and corrupted morals. Selfishly lusting after power and prestige like it was his own drug. So much so that if little Harper had acted out at a public event she was rewarded with a beating of her own when they returned home. Her warm, chocolatey skin turned purple and blue as a consequence for even the slightest dent in his reputation.

And her mother didn't care. As long as she retained her socialite status and the money in her purse to go buy herself some new Louboutins, she didn't give a damn about Harper. The child she had birthed, that she shared half her DNA with, it was all irrelevant in her perspective of life.

Leaving little ol' Harper to grow up in a torture house. A circus where she acted as a prized bear before the crowd, mighty and beautiful. An alluring beast that wowed those who gazed on at her. But when she retreated behind the curtains, into her home, the audience never saw the pain she endured. The beatings, the starvation, the drugs they pumped her full of just to be complicit. That her 14 year old self could sneak under the dinner table at of one of her father's grand parties and inject herself with some new remedy to dull the edge. To soothe the ache in her bones and the crying in her heart.

That was all she had; drugs. And tattoos.

She knew it was unhealthy, that the destructive habit was ruining her life. But she didn't care because with all the pain, all the agony, it acted as a cure. Smoothing over her sharp edges and acting as the glue that stuck all her broken pieces back together. It had fixed everything, giving her a creative outlet that she turned into her own business. A tattoo parlour that acted as the front for her own small drug trade. It killed her, but it brought her life at the same time.

It was glorious, all until the day the high finally wore off.

After testing a new drug that her employer wanted her to distribute on the streets, Harper woke up the next morning in the hospital. Skin ghostly pale and body churning with toxins, waking to her first ever overdose. She had no recollection of the night prior, only the rumor that a certain vigilante had brought her in. One that happened to go by the monicker of Daredevil.

Harper's entire life seemed to be unravelling before her very eyes, struggling to pay off her new hospital fees, dealing with the aftereffects of her overdoes, charges against her name for recreational drug use and drug trafficking, and on top of that, Daredevil had come knocking at her door in search of her supplier. The drug kingpin of Hell's Kitchen.

That addiction she had been reliant on for so long brought consequences she had never thought possible. Disasterous lows, like the constant fear from a certain vigilante that didn't seem to want to leave her alone, and gargantuan highs, like the blind and blonde lawyers that had been appointed to her case. Known as Matthew Murdock and Foggy Nelson. A dynamic duo that brought the slightest of light into her entirely dark life.

And one of those euphoric highs, was the relationship that would soon grow between the troubled Harper and the complicated Matt. An unlikely pairing of burdensome pasts and redeeming futures. It was chaotic, not without its own problems and faults, but it was beautiful nonetheless.

But with the trouble brewing in Hell's Kitchen, they both knew beautiful things would never last.

NOTES:

↳ Alisha can be changed as the faceclaim

↳ This story is an AU so it doesn't follow the plot of Marvel's Daredevil

↳ Harper is a good person with a terrible background who has been forced to pick up toxic traits, and this HAS to be acknowledged

↳ This story IS NOT glorifying drug use or abuse, rather showing the effects of these issues in adolscence and their knock-on effect into adulthood

↳ There are roles for Harper's friends but they are all toxic and minor characters

↳ I have the outline written for the story that I will disclose to person who claims the plot

↳ Matt and Harper's relationship is a slow burn!!!

↳ If you have any other questions, feel free to leave them here or dm me!
