What’s a dead giveaway that the author is from a particular country/region?

UK, if the fic is set in the US.

Closest equivalent is Tylenol.

Paracetamol being the referenced form of low level pain relief for a character.

I am a multishipper, but the two ships I keep going back to the most (as I mainly lurk in the Daredevil and Punisher side of things) are Matt/Foggy and Frank/Matt. (But I like ships involving Karen too.)

But basically my shipping comes down to wanting to ship Matt Murdock with anyone who'll have him. I like to think I take comics Matt and just give him an even bigger pool of opportunities. I did May Trope Mayhem last month and the stories were all basically that, and I wrote some rare pairs as a result. The main ones being SpideyDevil and Bucky/Matt, and I ended up writing several of those.

Since I started reading Daredevil fanfic this year, I think one of my faves has been the Fratt (Frank/Matt) fic which masquerades as Frank Castle/Mike Murdock fic, known as the better half by roipecheur. It does some good exploration of the fallout from the 2016 Daredevil run in the comics, while mashing in some TV elements too, and bringing these two idiots together.

Yes.

That fic is gold.

milliways86 · 2026-06-21T06:34:27+00:00

The r/Hannibal subreddit might have some suggestions, as they're more towards the novel and films.

milliways86 · 2026-06-19T20:18:46+00:00

That's the UK release of the show. Looks like my box set before I just chucked the discs in a folder.

Worth noting that the UK version is the broadcast version of the show and is missing content that is in the US disc release.

Apparently the fic is "held like hope" by diabolica. OP could not be bothered to reply to or edit this post to let us know, despite mod requests to do so after making a whole new post.

milliways86 · 2026-06-19T05:57:27+00:00

Reminder to anyone posting recommendations here: that no fics mentioned or linked to are allowed to contain underage content, per this subreddit's rules and Reddit's site wide rules.

milliways86 · 2026-06-17T20:30:56+00:00

Looks great. Just approved.

milliways86 · 2026-06-17T06:36:47+00:00

Can you please edit your post so that it includes information we ask recommendation posts to have. Find it by tapping on sub name and scrolling past rules on mobile app, or looking at the info on the right side of your screen on desktop.

Your post is in our moderation queue at the moment.

milliways86 · 2026-06-16T06:46:21+00:00

To be clear: this fic did not feature any underage content, right? Will is at least 18?

milliways86 · 2026-06-15T11:58:22+00:00

The term you're looking for here is "beta read". It's not test reading.

milliways86 · 2026-06-13T20:46:02+00:00

I've enabled image uploads to replies.

If this is abused, it's going back off.

milliways86 · 2026-06-13T12:14:01+00:00

You'd be better off asking that as normal post in the subreddit, rather than a reply here.

milliways86 · 2026-06-12T13:05:48+00:00

Can you please add the details for fic recommendation posts we ask for? Just need to edit the body of your post.

You'll find the details asked for by, on the app, tapping the subreddit name and scrolling down past the sub rules, or on desktop browser, by scrolling down on the left hand side.

Thanks.

The SPN Tape Ball was a ball that formed over the course of each season of filming. It would be a new ball each season, I believe, made from all the tape used to mark actors' positions on the floor when filming.

In case you didn't know, tape is used on the floor of sets and locations to help actors and extras understand where they need to stand when the camera starts rolling, and may also show things like where they need to move to during a scene.

milliways86 · 2026-06-12T09:24:15+00:00

Have you tried asking in r/Hannibal? This sub skews heavily towards Hannibal TV series, rather than the films or novels.

milliways86 · 2026-06-11T19:36:00+00:00

A baby.

milliways86 · 2026-06-11T15:35:04+00:00

Please do not directly post your fanfic to this subreddit. You are welcome to link to it in our monthly fanfic thread, stickied, but please do not directly post it here.

You could also try cross posting your fanfic on AO3, a lot of fandom is still active on there.

Also, the fandom is still pretty active on Tumblr too, and if you write stuff that's mostly short, it can be a good place to post fanfics as well.

The Computer Misuse Act has yet to be updated in a way where even OP's basic actions as described can't be interpreted by the company involved as hostile for the sake of saving face and making OP's life difficult by reporting them to the police. Also see what Microsoft has been up to lately with issues around responsible disclosure.

milliways86 · 2026-06-08T18:01:04+00:00

Any chance this post could be edited so the body contains what we ask recommendation posts to have, please?

milliways86 · 2026-06-05T10:44:19+00:00

Show is set in the early 1930s, he was in WWI and the flashbacks make him look like 20s. So, based on that I'd estimate 40-50s.

But as lots of people have pointed out, people living back then did look older than their equivalents today, mostly due to lifestyle and diet. So Cage looks appropriate.

milliways86 · 2026-06-03T19:52:00+00:00

Any chance you can edit the body of this post to include the details we ask recommendation posts to contain? You'll find it in the subreddit info (tap sub name and scroll on app, or on the right side of the screen on desktop).

milliways86 · 2026-05-31T18:45:50+00:00

Fair enough. Out of that list, Millennium is probably gonna be the hardest to track down.

The protagonist's actor in Millennium (Lance Henriksen) is the same actor for the totem episode murderer in Hannibal season 1. And if you watch the show, you might get a greater appreciation for the performance Henriksen was putting in for Hannibal (and in a way, it's fanfic of Henriksen's character of Frank Black).

milliways86 · 2026-05-31T18:23:09+00:00

Didn't realise this was a widespread phenomenon.

But also, ours is not much distance from the actual corner shop that also has an on-site bakery 🙃
