《Heroes need saving too: A Daredevil fanfic》Chapter 8: Icy Affection (and some Mexican food remarks)
Advertisement
Matt was fast asleep in Claire's arms now. She could feel his chest rise and fall against her, and hear his breathing.
Really? I find his breathing attractive? what is wrong with me?
Claire didn't care anymore. This beautiful human was hers and she was proud of his...everything. Part of her couldn't sleep because he was there and moments like this rarely happen; she wanted to cherish every second. Another part was just plain worried about him.
Then, something happened. Matt started to shiver. It was as if it went from microscopic, to an earthquake in a matter of nano seconds. She could hear his teeth chattering, and his hold on her grew tighter. She turned on a lamp on the nightstand and sat up. Matt was still violently shaking.
"Claire, I'm...so cold." His arms were held tightly at his shoulders, and he was breathing fast.
She held him close to her.
"It's okay Matt, it's just chills."
He looked like he was about to cry.
"I'm so cold."
She squeezed him tight, quickly held his face, and planted a kiss on his forehead.
"I'm coming back okay? I'll be right back."
Matt was still violently shivering when she returned. In her hands was a large over sized gray hoodie, and a plush blanket. She quickly sat on the bed, and gently guided him to a sitting position.
"I need you to lift your arms sweetie."
Matt struggled, but eventually lifted his still-shaking arms. Claire slid the hoodie over him.
"Are you still cold?."
His shivers weren't as violent, but still present.
"Yeah, a little bit.", he said in a weak voice.
"Here, lay down."
Matt did so, he was holding his arms close to him. Claire took the blanket and wrapped it around him. She smiled.

"You know you look like a burrito."
Matt gave a small smile.
"Yeah, but I'm your burrito.", he said sleepily.
Claire snorted, God he was corny. My little dork.
Matt wore his trade marked smirk on his face. Claire leaned down and kissed his noes. His smile grew. You could see all of the lines in his face like a delicate painting.
"Wanna join me?"
"You have to ask?"
She slid into his blanket burrito, and pulled the covers over them.
"Are you okay? I don't want you to get hot."
Claire placed her hand on the side of his face, "I'll be fine." She replied.
Matt grinned and got into his usual position. At that point all Claire wanted to do was hold him close. And all Matt wanted was her to hold him.

Plague Doctor
The once-bustling and noisy streets were now filled with an eerie blanket of silence. Hoarse and frenzied whispers lingered high above the heavens, and an indescribable ancient giant lurked in the shadows of the bottomless ocean. A mysterious plague had outbroken, and natural disasters wrought the Earth. Global pandemic and catastrophes had the panicked masses seeking illusory shelters from the devastation, day and night. A bloody shower poured over the land as the streaks of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the ill-intentioned gathering of ravens above. Nevermore, nevermore, quoth the ravens. “We can see that this malformed creature has twelve pairs of ribs like humans, but also has a “transverse bone” that humans do not possess…” In the medical school, Gu Jun continued bringing down his scalpel, illustrating the abnormal thoracic structure of the malformed cadaver on the dissection table to the surrounding students. Ominous and treacherous times had descended! Truth and logic had crumbled, order warped into a frenzy. Humanity can only forge ahead through the power of intelligence and wisdom.

The Bettor's Oath [A Dark-Modern LITRPG]
We live in a world where the rabbit’s foot helped win the game. Following that logic, tell me, what happens when the odds are flipped against the strong and a god rises to give the weak their right for revenge?~Last segment of the First Monarch's speech before the Lablanca battle. Lothar Ardolf, an alcoholic 27 years old high school teacher, was one of the many men who failed to catch up to life.When everyone around him worked to leave a mark behind, he idled away between states of short sobriety and static numbness, hoping that one day everything would resolve itself. It took little to wake him up. Only a life, soul, and body changing experience.Thrust into a world of cheap power and tyrannical governments, where a man could rival what is true and alter what is false, he was tasked by an elusive being with befalling titans.He wakes up in a prison with a path laid in front of him; one that would challenge all the resolve he has and more. Intertwined in a convoluted scheme of politics and old grudges, he will need to learn how to wield his new powers in order to escape before the secrets of the prison threaten to unravel him.However, he shortly realizes that his new faded fantasy was not a fairy tale. All that awaits him in the end, for standing against the world, is death. That is, if the three sided coin lands on heads. If it lands on tails... The shadowbane army rises. ...... This story is a neo-noir dark LITRPG in a world similar to earth. Take the tags seriously. I've been working on this project for 6 months and my MC is a bit unconventional, so I'm excited to introduce you all to him. Beware, it will be a slow-burn, so please be patient. The main plot will start to kick up at around chapter 15. I will be writing about racists, rapists, cultists and horrible humans. I do not condone or excuse their behavior or choice of words but the first arc will be in a prison and (some) prisoners don't mince their words. My MC doesn't adapt to the new world immediately because that is not realistic at all. It takes time and because of his personality, it will take more than a system to convince him to do someone else's bidding ;) Each chapter will have around 3000+ (give or take) words. I will be updating 2-3 times a week (depending on how busy I am with work and/or college) when I'm done publishing my backlog (Which is very big, 40,000+ words). **Each comment gets rep! Cover art by @tahraart on Instagram. Link to discord: https://youtu.be/91wX0NRjJqg Have a good one, Pistol. **** THE STORY IS ON TEMPORARY HIATUS. WE WILL BE BACK IN 2 MONTHS. SORRY EVERYONE.

If you think you even have the *tiniest* idea as to what could make the novel even a tad better, please do not hesitate to tell me. MC is very OP, apologies if you don't like that, it's just one of my preferences. Once I am experienced, I will most likely do weak to strong or fantasy style novels.
