Summary

It's increasingly becoming a world where the unbelievable happens every day. The Avengers team includes a defrosted World War Two solider, a giant green rage monster and a man who might be a God; and they battle aliens and magic on a regular basis. It's not too far fetched to believe the Devil walks Hell's Kitchen.Matt, on the other hand, hasn't realised exactly why his new battle buddies seem terrified of him. It's not like they've even heard the rumors about him being the Devil... right?

I *love* these Avenger/Daredevil fics. I love Matt's snarkiness towards them, and your characterizations of each of the Avenger's always rings true. Tony's 'voice' cracks me up each time.Also *yay* for Foggy being responsible for the the Avengers' misunderstanding of Matt's character. Way to make things both easier *and* harder for Matt!'Oh shit, oh shit. You're bleeding and you're human. Oh shit. First aid kit?' Nice call, Hawkeye! Nice work, you!

Haha, I love this. I'm picturing Matt wondering why CAPTAIN AMERICA is afraid of him - this is great. Foggy would absolutely start this rumor, it is a fantastic rumor. The Avengers not-so-subtle paranoia was depicted well - thanks for sharing

Oh man, I was dying of laughter throughout this whole things. The Avengers being terrified! Matt unintentionally adding fuel to the rumors just by being himself. Foggy being the instigator of the whole Daredevil is the real Devil thing. *cackles forever*

'Oh shit,' he mutters as he punches out a dinosaur. 'Oh shit.' I am wheezing. This line is the funniest shit oh my god. The whole fic is funny too -- Matt being completely oblivious to it first and his immediate reaction being to go along with it because hilarity. So excellent :D

Oh gosh this is fantastic, I love that Foggy is responsible for the rumor and the fact that Matt figures it out but still doesn't tell him (they are lucky he didn't decide to troll them massively). Though now I really want a fic where it turns out Matt is legit the Devil...-Ellipsis aka ...

This was great, very entertaining concept. I love the image of Matt trying not to go all fan-boy over Cap at the beginning, and then Tony at the end pissing everyone off because he just won't shut up (how very Tony)Also dinosaurs, amazing (somebody posted the 'Oh shit,' he mutters as he punches out a dinosaur. 'Oh shit.' line on Tumblr and I just knew I had to read it)

Nicely done. I loved the fact that you could overlap the drama and the comedy so flawlessly. I deeply enjoyed the Avengers' reactions

Oh my god this completely killed me! Matt Murdock, the devout Catholic, the guy who goes to confession at least once a week, mistaken for the devil. Perfect.

Holy shit, this is perfect and I'm bookmarking this fic, because seriously? Matt having to dodge holy water because people believe he's actually the devil? This is so hilariously awesome, I don't even have words for how much I love this xDD

Oh my god, this was amazing. I LOVE all the misconceptions that just built and built on top of one another. And Matt finally figuring it out, and *still* letting the inadvertent charade continue for *six months* after realizing what was going on. Foggy starting the original rumors is a fantastic but very believable twist, too.I just want, like, 20k more of fic with everybody thinking Daredevil is a/the LITERAL DEVIL and freaking out appropriately whenever he shows up.

Oh man this fic is brilliant! I just don't have words for how ingenious this was, to use all the things Matt can do to make it seem like he's the all powerful devil, but still keep it realistic. And the way you wrote the interactions between him and the Avnegers was just awesome. I love this fic so much :)

So I love, love, love, love, LOVE this fic. BUT (don't worry it's a positive but) I've been craving an...opposite fic if you will. In which Matt actually IS the devil (or something demonic) and the Avengers are trying to convince themselves that there are reasonable explanations for all these things

This was absolutely brilliant, and the idea of the Avengers having seen so much shit they actually consider - and then believe - that Matt is an actual devil is fantastic and Tony's reaction at the end oh my god. This was a wonderful read, I loved it.
