Summary: Matt takes a leap of faith, helped along by a certain nosy reporter.

Review: Daredevil is one of my absolute favorite Superhero movies and one of my smallest fandoms. Only a handful of fics exist and of them Faith is one of my favorite.

Ben Urrich is a lovable marshmallow and a great foil for Matt's character. While I like the original Matt/Electra pairing of the movie, Nancy really makes the Ben/Matt romance work in this story. It's not overly mushy and avoids all of the 'destined' to be together pit-falls. The only place where I felt it was a little weak was when Elektra came back into the picture.

The story line is fairly standard, starting out as a casefic and branching out into a romance from there. There is a great moment between Nelson and Ben as well as a few good moments where Ben is dealing with the other supporting characters, but the story stays pretty firmly on the romance track, which keeps the piece from getting too bogged down in angst and makes it a good pick-me-up fic.
