Summary: It's not about vengeance, Matt tells himself. His anger isn't the point. The point is justice. (775 words)

Note: This ficlet was inspired by the 3/1/15 15_minute_ficlets word #222. The title is from the KJV translation of Romans 12:19, because I like the misleading ambiguity of its phrasing.

[ETA: the AO3 crosspost is now up!]

So yeah, that happened. Um. *shifts awkwardly* Anyway, I've fallen head over heels into Daredevil on the reading front, but I dunno yet if it'll be a brief flirtation or a more serious thing on the writing front. I guess we'll find out together.

Lalala, I am editing my Betapalooza fic!

I've added 600 words already, and I still have two narrative gaps to smooth over plus two final scenes to elaborate, so I expect the revised draft as a whole will be a good thousand words longer than the rough version I posted on AO3 to meet the deadline. Some of this is just giving more narrative weight to one of the beta kids, so the quartet doesn't come off unbalanced, but other parts are an attempt to inject greater emotional reality and also narratively foreshadow some stuff.

I don't think I am writing deathless prose here, nor is it my best work, but it's structurally interesting and hopefully charming in overall effect. (Also, I feel I am being incredibly non-anonymous, but perhaps it only seems that way to me since I know exactly how up my alley this particular prompt was.)
