Ugh, I was looking forward to a new book with a hot blind guy but anything with a child death in it is a big old nope for me. Even reading the first page in the Amazon preview was too upsetting. I think we were talking about this in the thread about having kids but my tolerance for tragedy has dropped down to almost zero. Avoid this book for sure if that's the case! I have a 4 year old and I had a hard time getting through it.

I want to add that I am a "wheeler DEV" and my hero is Hank from "Falling From the Sky" by Sarina Bowen -he is my DEV guy!!!! Oh geez!!!! Who likes him too? I liked that book. Slow in some parts, but for the most part enjoyable. I did like Hank though, that's what kept me reading for sure.

I think we were talking about this in the thread about having kids but my tolerance for tragedy has dropped down to almost zero. That's why I said it was a tearjerker for sure. I guess I should have gave fair warning, but I don't like to give spoilers. Typically I'm with you and that kind of stuff is a big oh HELL no for me. I can't even read stories on the internet about things happening to kids. Somehow I was able to get through it. My friend that recommended it to me asked "Did you cry in the first chapter?" I evaluated this later because I felt so horrible for NOT being emotional as a parent and being able to get through it (if that makes sense). I think it was because I was SUPER tired when I read that prologue AND I wasn't emotionally attached to the spouse/kid as characters since it happened so fast. Once I got attached to the heroine and her struggle though there were parts that broke me in this book (but by that time I was invested). Anyhow, sorry if it was upsetting. In the future I'll make sure to give a spoiler alert and then enter several tabs so folks have the choice to read on or not...

Just discovered the Beyond series by Ashley Logan. Beyond Touched I found really devvy and there’s an off shoot book about a wheeler that I’m just starting. It’s all ex military with storylines I found a little unrealistic but still enjoyed x

So it's not exactly a book but I have fallen down a rabbit hole of Daredevil fan fiction, and some of it is super devvy. This one is my favorite so far: archiveofourown.org/works/8141192DD meets the Avengers. You wouldn't know it from the movies but in the comics Hawkeye is deaf. Tons more stories here.

Question...how much is Brad (Jenkins) in the other Beyond books?? Quite a bit in the background of Beyond Heat as this is the period before he reconnects with his former nurse and his friends are supporting him a lot x

So after reading all this fan fiction I finally went looking for some deaf Hawkeye comics. Hawkeye/Clint Barton is the kind of Marvel superhero who has been around since the 1960s and has been killed, resurrected and retconned over and over, and he isn't deaf in all versions so it takes some searching to find the right issues. There is a 4 volume miniseries by Matt Fraction and David Aja that came out around 2012-2015 which is all around really excellent, and in the final issues Clint and his brother Barney are attacked, Clint is deafened and Barney is shot and temporarily in a wheelchair. It's in the collected edition Hawkeye vol. 4: Rio Bravo, or issue #19 if you just want to look up that one part. In this version, Clint had also temporarily lost his hearing as a kid and learned ASL and lipreading. The way Fraction and Aja render his hearing loss, the ASL and lipreading is so thoughtful and innovative. Here's one page as an example. I found it super devvy. If you're into comics and a deaf character, it's a strong recommend.

I know, right? The entire issue just blew me away, especially the art which is fantastic. I was never much of a Hawkeye fan but Aja makes him look so cute. I actually read the first half of this series when it first came out in 2012, but there were big delays before the final issues were published. I can't believe I'm only finding this 3 years later! Better late than never.

I remember loving this so much! I don't think I have read everything, but I know I did read several pages. It's so devvy when he's lipreading, the [now? know?] thing is simply brilliant. Oh, and I read the DD fanfiction, and it was sooooo good! I absolutely loved it. If there are any others you found particularly good, please send me the link, dg. I tried looking for some, but there's waaay too much stuff to weed out (why do people ship Foggy/Matt so much?! I just can't). And now I really want to go back to writing Daredevil fanfiction, like I did in my early teens lol

Haha no, the sign in #1 is "shower." He says, "Take a shower now, maybe? You stink. Change your clothes."

And now I really want to go back to writing Daredevil fanfiction, like I did in my early teens lol Yeay, another fan! It's even harder to find good Hawkeye stories because almost everything tagged "Deaf Clint Barton" is actually about Bucky, and if Clint is in it at all there's like one mention of him having a hearing aid in a 65,000 word story.
There are a ton of stories about Netflix DD meeting the movie Avengers but they don't know he's blind. Here are some of the best ones.
The Avengers think DD is illiterate and want to help. The author said she was frustrated with so many stories is forced to reveal his identity due to an injury, and she wanted to give him more agency in the reveal. It's a good point, I agree!
Another good one by the same author: MM gets lost in Avengers Tower, which is not ADA compliant
Here are some more that I enjoyed:
Lots of people seem to want to write stories about MM and the Avengers just hanging out and being friends, and I'm there for it.
This is a long-running series with many installments.
Another DD-Hawkeye first meeting, but this one really captures the Matt Fraction take on Hawkeye, with lots of details taken from the comics.

I have read and loved all of these stories in the past. Nice to see some other Daredevil fanfiction fans out there. I’m Fanfiction obsessed, so many devy stories out there.

Haha, well none of the ones I linked to are exactly new, they were all written in 2015 when the Netflix Daredevil debuted and the deaf Hawkeye comic came out.
It is really nice to know other devs are enjoying it as well If you have any other favorites please share the links!
