Additional Tags: Mild Gore, Stalking, Angst, Fluff, First Kiss, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting
Summary: Foggy met the Devil on a Tuesday. He's since taken a vow of silence with the hope that the Devil will leave him alone and his life can go back to normal. He's tenacious enough to follow through with it, too. (Too bad the Devil's even more dedicated to making sure Foggy stays safe and close.)

I don’t do this very often.”

Summary: “This is the last time,” Foggy says, and he means it. He does. The fact that he says it while Murdock’s got him pinned up against his desk with his hand down Foggy’s pants is-immaterial, frankly.

Summary: The thing says, "You're absolutely refusing to go quietly into the night, you know. Could make my job a little easier, here." Matt's ribs creak, crackle and splinter, and there is blood bubbling at the back of his throat and yet, dizzy, what comes out is half-groan, half huffing laugh. "Why should I?"

Rating: Explicit
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Tattoo Parlor, Human Disaster Matt Murdock, Slow Build, Tattoos
Summary: “Hello, welcome to Josie’s, I’m Foggy, what are you looking for?” “Uh, nothing,” the guy replies, and Foggy is nonplussed for the nanosecond it takes to put together glasses, cane, and the way Hottie McHotFace is gazing absently over his shoulder. “Oh, oh, you’re blind, dude, sorry. But, uh, this is a tattoo parlour?” “I know.” The guy sighs. “I lost a bet?” Or: The One Where Foggy Is A Tattoo Artist And Matt Is The Worst
We Just Lost the Beat (19334 words) by knight_tracer, lady_ragnell
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Radio, Identity Porn, Podfic, Audio Format: MP3, Audio Format: Streaming, Podfic Length: 1.5-2 Hours
Summary: Matt hears a lot in the city at night, sirens and crime--and the late-night radio show Foggy With a Chance, which sometimes runs a Daredevil Watch if he's been particularly active, but which mostly plays music. He probably shouldn't call in and request a song, but he does it anyway.
I Know the Lord My Soul Won't Take (8486 words) by Waynesgrayson
Rating: Explicit
Additional Tags: Blood and Gore, Blood and Violence, Gore, Canon-Typical Violence, Kidnapping, Stalking, Angst, Dark!Matt, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, First Kiss, Fluff, Love Confessions, Implied Sexual Content, Sexual Tension

Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon, Canon-Typical Violence, Slow Burn, Secret Identity, Season/Series 01, Alternate Universe - Different First Meeting, Sensory Overload, Identity Reveal, face touching, Resolved Sexual Tension, Identity Porn
Summary: Foggy and Matt never met at school. They cross paths for the first time while working opposite sides of a case, and Matt doesn't leave an impression beyond the superficial: a blind, pro-bono crusader who Foggy will feel really guilty about having to oppose in court one of these days. Seemed like a nice guy, but no one Foggy will worry about a week later. He has more important things on his mind, like the masked vigilante who keeps cornering him in dark alleys to threaten him for information.

Fandom: Daredevil (TV), Jessica Jones (TV), The Defenders (Marvel TV)
Rating: Explicit

Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Library, librarian!Foggy, librarian!Karen, mostly canon Matt, Fluff, Take Your Fandom to Work Day
Summary: “He’s back,” Karen says, making Foggy jump and drop his armful of books. She winces and drops down immediately to help him pick them up. “Matt?” Foggy asks. It’s an optimistic guess-there are a lot of guys who could be back, like the guy who sits in a study carrel and eats peanut butter out of a jar with his hands and Uncomfortable Religious Missionary Guy, who is actually three different guys. “Yep,” she replies, nodding and widening her eyes when she grins. “He’s flirting with the circulation ladies, which means you’ve got just enough time to steal my shift at the reference desk before he gets there.”

Additional Tags: Fake/Pretend Relationship, Fake Marriage, Alternate Universe
Summary: After Matt and Foggy get married “platonically” for the married student housing benefits, Foggy’d assumed there were no more secrets between them. After all, he’s told Matt all of his and Matt’s told him about his father and even taken him to Fogwell’s so… why don’t they have their rings yet?
{Inspired by a writing-prompts-s post: All newlyweds are given a rock which breaks apart to reveal their wedding rings once the couple knows every secret about each other. Most couples typically get their rings on their wedding night. Five years later, you still don’t have them. What could be holding you back from getting them?}

A blessing (4516 words) by NohaIjiachi
Summary: “I can’t wait until we are not-broke enough to afford air conditioning…” He sighed to himself, voice low. “The day we get one, I’ll dance naked in the office, I don’t even care.” It was a empty promise made to himself, but as he pondered if he should go and beg Matt and Karen with the promise of a lovely naked dance, he caught a movement over the glass separating his office from the other rooms with the corner of his eye. Matt, sitting in office with his shirt half open and dark hair sticking to his forehead, was chuckling.

(Smile) Like You Mean It (2323 words) by anonymousdaredevils
Additional Tags: Pining, Mutual Pining, Fluff, Fluff and Angst, Happy Ending, I promise
Summary: (Foggy is always worried about Matt, nowadays.) For a prompt on the Daredevil kink meme: So Foggy tells Matt he loves him a lot, because they are that kind of friends, and Matt is used to Foggy's heart being totally steady and honest when he says it. Which is why, sometime after the Daredevil reveal, it breaks his heart when Foggy suddenly starts sounding like he's lying when he says it. (Full prompt in the preliminary note.)

Summary: “Hey Karen,” he whispers, because Matt is in the other room, and he doesn't really want to share this with Matt yet. So many years of pining over Matt and it still feels like he's cheating ever time he's interested in someone else. “Can I ask you something a little… weird?” “Sure,” Karen says, sitting up a little straighter. “Is something wrong?” “No, no, nothing wrong,” he assures her. “Just… When you got rescued by the man in the mask, did he... flirt with you?” - In which the Devil of Hell's Kitchen gets a boyfriend and Foggy is not an idiot.
Alibi Anthem (14851 words) by ChuckleVoodoos
Additional Tags: Lies, Matt Murdock Character Study, Episode Related, Fluff and Angst, Canon Compliant
Summary: All it takes, Matt thinks, is a little lie. If he tells the truth, Foggy will be angry. He’ll yell and cry and kick Matt right out into the cold. But if Matt says ‘accident’, he gets warm meals and warm blankets and warm Foggys. If Matt lies, he gets everything he wants. Is that really so awful? No, no it’s not. There are worse things than a little white lie, one that makes everybody happier than the truth ever could. One more lie can’t hurt.

Summary: "I mean, I did think that maybe vigilantism is actually good for you in terms of, like, self-actualization or whatever, but - have you been seeing a therapist or something? Good talks with your priest?" (Or, it's weird how weird things aren't between Matt and Foggy. Particularly when they're talking about boners.)

Additional Tags: In Vino Veritas, Post-Season/Series 02, Love Confessions, Making Up, and making out, Matt Mudock's Martyr Complex, (it's practically a character in the show let's not play)
Summary: Neither of them seem to know how to fill the silence that stretches between them. Foggy has never been at a loss for words around Matt Murdock; since he walked into Foggy's life all those years ago with his stupid fluffy hair and Thurgood Marshall quotes, it's all Foggy can do to keep the words in. For a second he thinks that maybe Matt hung up, but he can still hear his breathing on the other end of the line. Maybe this was a bad idea.
Eres Mi Grande Avocado (20843 words) by ChuckleVoodoos
Additional Tags: Fluff, Language Kink, Bad Spanish, Mutual Pining, Oblivious
Summary: Matt's got this way of speaking in Spanish that's just a little different than his way of speaking in English. In English, all of Matt's words are carefully weighed and measured and cut like crystal. They're precious but planned. With Spanish, the words seem to fall like drops of liquid gold, hot and rich and wild, and it makes Foggy want to gather them to himself and finally be warm.

(though you are asleep) red rings 'round my heart (6726 words) by themikeymonster
Additional Tags: Kind of a character study, Matt Being Matt, Creeper Matt Murdock, what is normal romance anyway, Someone gets kissed while unconcious and uninformed, hospital room get together, the boundary lines for superheros' love interests are weird sorry I don't make the rules
Summary: And the City is heavy - millions of tons of concrete and steel and the people who live there, all beating down on the discs between Matt's bones and bowing his neck over his bloodied hands. He spills its blood and it spills his, and he takes his pound of flesh from it and it carves scars into his skin and lays claim to him. This is the altar at which he prays with busted knuckles and it's never enough. -- The mouth-to-mouth resuscitation of Matt Murdock's heart takes a few years, but they get there. Eventually.
It's affection, always (1734 words) by elliceluella
Additional Tags: domestic fluff - kinda, look at these dorky avocados, also a tiny peek into Foggy's varied sighs, and Matt 'friend-blocker' Murdock, it's totally cool for law partners to go grocery shopping together
Summary: “Oh my god,” Foggy hisses and points an accusing finger at Matt. “You’ve been friend-blocking me all these years! No wonder Mark and Jenny gave me funny looks when I asked if they wanted to join our study group again!” “I heard them planning to poach you! They wanted you in their group,” Matt insists, brows arched high but managing to tuck everything else he wants to say into the neat creases that rest between them. In Matt's defense though, Foggy's a great guy.

Series: Part 1 of enchanted
Summary: Foggy gets stuck with a magical bracelet - though it might be alien, we just don't know, or maybe it's both? - that's supposed to help him find his True Love by not getting off until he finds it. It's very inconvenient and all fault of Matt's. Somehow. Most certainly. Thank God the bracelet's pretty, at the least. "A metal bracelet will tell him that." Jessica's voice is full of disdain, it's music to Foggy's ears. "And how exactly is he supposed to go checking, hmm?" "True Love's Kiss," Luke says suddenly. Four heads turn to him and one only slightly in his direction. "True Love's Kiss can break any curse, or that's what Once tells me."
POST THE DEFENDERS & VAGUE FUTURFICS:
That Spin I'm In (8871 words) by poisonivory, Werelibrarian
Additional Tags: Round Robin, Love Potion/Spell
Summary: "What does that mean?" Matt asks Strange. "Well, that depends," Strange says, unfolding his legs and letting his feet touch the floor again. Matt gets the distinct impression Strange is hedging. "Are you currently suffering heartbreak?" Matt very carefully doesn't think about Elektra. Or Karen. Or Foggy. "Let's leave my personal life out of this." Strange clears his throat. "Yes, well, that option may no longer be on the table." Matt really hates magic.

Additional Tags: Hell's Kitchen, Alternate Universe - Magic, Canon Compliant
Summary: Foggy always said that his mother wanted him to be a butcher. (Or, that's what he told Matt. The truth is a little more complicated, and definitely unbelievable.) He planned on keeping it a secret forever, buried along with his affections for Matt, but Hell's Kitchen has other plans.

Summary: “I would not be surprised if it was love that brought on these developments. You feel very deeply, Foggy; it is entirely possible that it has opened your power to deeper perception,” Professor X says. How very Hallmark. But Foggy hasn’t fallen in love with anyone new since high school. Definitely not in the last year. Definitely not in his dorm room. Mutant AU In which Empath!Foggy is super open about his not-so-superpowers, and Matt is not. Dumbass.

Hieroglyphics (or you are under arrest for being attractive & ruining my life) (4401 words) by The_Readers_Muse
Additional Tags: Foggy is an accidental superhero, he is not amused, au view of how Foggy finds out, Adult Content, Adult Language, Angst, Drama, Humor, Mild Gore, Canon-Typical Violence, Mild Sexual Content, Kink Meme, Frottage
Summary: As far as randomly acquired superhero powers go, he is going to admit right now that his are kind of lame. Okay, lots lame. Sort of. But considering Matt is a complete and utter dingus with about the same self-preservation instincts as a mosquito flying full tilt into a bug zapper, he figures an extra edge - as fucking weird and annoying as it is - is probably worth the headache.

Additional Tags: Soulmate-Identifying Marks, Misunderstandings
Summary: Foggy supports his dick with one palm and tilts the hand mirror, trying to see. He gets a great view of his thumb. Tilts a little more - nope, that's his stomach. He can sort of feel the bumps, but they're definitely not ribbing or anything, no matter what Marci says. Maybe bigger than the bumps on other dicks he's seen, but it's probably definitely not herpes; he doesn't have any of the symptoms.

A Secret Chord (11467 words) by joidianne4eva
Additional Tags: Sirens, Alternate Universe - Supernatural Elements, Homophobia, Homophobic Language
Summary: Foggy could vaguely remember a time when he’d dreamed of the things any of their kind should. He dreamt of the trucks his dad would make for him, dragging their essence out of thin air only to laugh when Foggy gaped at him, like he always did. But that would only happen if Foggy didn’t steal cookies and get in trouble at school. Foggy dreamt of the melodies that wove their way through his very being. The soft, husky timbre of his mother’s voice coaxing his own into something that felt almost right even if it wasn’t as powerful as the tune that his mom carried with her. Then one day Foggy’s dreams caught fire and the world burned with it.

Illumination (1715 words) by keilson
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Alternate Universe - Canon, monochromatic life, Schmoop
Summary: When Foggy meets his very adorable, geeky new roommate, nothing changes. That's not true. When Foggy meets Matt, everything changes. It just doesn't include an understanding of red, or blue, or yellow. He still can't see a rainbow, he can't paint by numbers, and he'll never appreciate the supposed almost-red of his hair. (a reflection on life without color, bringing a new meaning to the phrase love is blind.)

Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Angels & Demons, Angel!Matt, Demon!Foggy, Basically what would happen if Aziraphale and Crowley started a law firm together
Summary: (Just to Sit Outside Your Door) Foggy had a soft spot for musicals and cheese-flavored snacks, and was, quite possibly, one of the worst demons that Hell had ever spat out. And Matt… well. Matt was one of those Avenging Angel types, and he was really good at his job.

Additional Tags: Foggy's beautiful princess hair, College era
Summary: "You cut your hair." Foggy winces at Matt's words, shrugging guiltily. "Marci wants me to take her to her cousin's wedding next weekend and she told me that she refused to be seen in public with someone who looked like they had all the good weed hook-ups," he says, as if that's some kind of explanation. Matt slumps back against the wall. "You cut your hair," he repeats, hissing it like a curse, "because Marci told you to?"

Additional Tags: Fluff, betting pools, POV Outsider, Marci is a goddess who none of us deserve honestly, this is one of those "everybody else knows they should be dating but them" fics, Law School
Summary: Halfway through the night, after Foggy’s dragged Marci to Hell’s Kitchen to get cheap ass drunk on liquor that’s not even labeled, Matt’s the one who ends up wearing Foggy’s jacket-which is…okay. You know, it’s not like they’re dating, Foggy and her. They did, briefly, a weird spat of monogamy and dorm room domesticity that didn’t sit right with either of them. Now, they just mostly fuck each other and hang out and study, which is better. Feelings are messy and Marci’s not great at them-and, frankly, she doesn’t like not being great at things. At this point, though, she really just wants to know when these small dumb children who keep following her around are finally going to get their own shit together.

Summary: “I walked into a file cabinet,” Murdock says loudly, when Claire reaches for his face, tilts it toward the light so she can check that nasty-looking cut on his cheekbone a little better. “Oh my God,” Karen murmurs; in her peripheral vision, Claire sees her press her face into her hands. “I thought we were going to come up with a better-” Nelson begins, visibly stops himself, and continues: “-explanation of that thing that definitely happened.”

Summary: "Shut up," Foggy says, embarrassed for himself and also Foggy-in-the-video, holy shit. Oh, and there goes a return kiss. On the cheek, thank God, so that's something - that means Foggy can still control himself a little bit no matter how falling down drunk he is. Stupid enough to get married to his best friend, not stupid enough to actually try making out with said best friend. That. That's way too wet for a kiss on the cheek, for all that Matt-in-the-video is cackling with apparent glee. -- You can't plea bargain out of marriage, Foggy. Consider yourself guilty as charged.

Additional Tags: Mutual Pining, Marriage Proposal, Misunderstandings, Jealousy, Declarations Of Love, Round Robin
Summary: Foggy has a weird habit of saying “marry me” instead of “thank you”. Bring him food, flop a blanket over him when he’s half asleep, put a coffee down on the desk, save him from an awkward situation, you’ll get proposed to. But not Matt. Oh no, he gets a “hey, thanks!” or “you’re the best, Matty!” or “my hero.” Which are all…fine. But they’re not the same.

Summary: “Do you want to tell us what all of this is about?” Foggy’s mom tried and Foggy shook his head. “Right, let me rephrase that. Tell me what all of this is about,” she muttered and Foggy sighed as he picked at the cushions because he’d never been good at lying to his family. “I think I’m in love,” he responded finally. There was dead silence for a moment before his mother rose to her feet. “Where are you going?” Foggy gaped after her. “For more alcohol, I’ve got a feeling we’re going to need it,” she called back.

That was not tea for luck and prosperity I gave you." Foggy makes a neutral humming sound, playing along, humoring her. Mrs. Wick seems to be taking this seriously. "I seem to have instead given you... Love Potion Number Nine." - In which everyone around Foggy starts acting differently, except for Matt. Who knows why?

Summary: Foggy’s a good guy. The best, actually; but that’s never been in contention. What is though, is whether Matt deserves to have someone like Foggy in his life (knowing the answer does nothing when he’s a fan of rehashing old turmoils). In which Matt tries his best to hide his sad, ducky feelings (it's not his fault Foggy- and his things- always smells like home). Based on this prompt about Foggy and his coat lending habits.

Summary: “I’m not letting Marci think she’s better at sex than I am,” Matt muttered and Foggy rolled his eyes so hard his head hurt. “She’s not better at sex than you are,” he shot back and it was just his luck that Marci decided that that was when she wanted to answer her phone. “Lies and slander, Foggy-bear. Remember that time I made you pass out?” she greeted and Foggy winced when Matt narrowed his eyes, his head cocked in the way that said he’d definitely heard what Marci had said.

Summary: The first time it had happened Foggy thought it must have been an accident. Matt was blind and the love bite was almost entirely hidden by his shirt collar. The second time he didn't even notice because he dressed at Matt's place and the man didn't own a mirror - unsurprisingly. This time he can't resist saying something.

Summary: “He’s back,” Karen says, making Foggy jump and drop his armful of books. She winces and drops down immediately to help him pick them up. “Matt?” Foggy asks. It’s an optimistic guess-there are a lot of guys who could be back, like the guy who sits in a study carrel and eats peanut butter out of a jar with his hands and Uncomfortable Religious Missionary Guy, who is actually three different guys. “Yep,” she replies, nodding and widening her eyes when she grins. “He’s flirting with the circulation ladies, which means you’ve got just enough time to steal my shift at the reference desk before he gets there.”

Summary: “I can’t wait until we are not-broke enough to afford air conditioning…” He sighed to himself, voice low. “The day we get one, I’ll dance naked in the office, I don’t even care.” It was a empty promise made to himself, but as he pondered if he should go and beg Matt and Karen with the promise of a lovely naked dance, he caught a movement over the glass separating his office from the other rooms with the corner of his eye. Matt, sitting in office with his shirt half open and dark hair sticking to his forehead, was chuckling.

Summary: “Hey Karen,” he whispers, because Matt is in the other room, and he doesn't really want to share this with Matt yet. So many years of pining over Matt and it still feels like he's cheating ever time he's interested in someone else. “Can I ask you something a little… weird?” “Sure,” Karen says, sitting up a little straighter. “Is something wrong?” “No, no, nothing wrong,” he assures her. “Just… When you got rescued by the man in the mask, did he... flirt with you?” - In which the Devil of Hell's Kitchen gets a boyfriend and Foggy is not an idiot.
Alibi Anthem (14851 words) by ChuckleVoodoos
Additional Tags: Lies, Matt Murdock Character Study, Episode Related, Fluff and Angst, Canon Compliant
Summary: All it takes, Matt thinks, is a little lie. If he tells the truth, Foggy will be angry. He’ll yell and cry and kick Matt right out into the cold. But if Matt says ‘accident’, he gets warm meals and warm blankets and warm Foggys. If Matt lies, he gets everything he wants. Is that really so awful? No, no it’s not. There are worse things than a little white lie, one that makes everybody happier than the truth ever could. One more lie can’t hurt.

Summary: "I mean, I did think that maybe vigilantism is actually good for you in terms of, like, self-actualization or whatever, but - have you been seeing a therapist or something? Good talks with your priest?" (Or, it's weird how weird things aren't between Matt and Foggy. Particularly when they're talking about boners.)

Additional Tags: In Vino Veritas, Post-Season/Series 02, Love Confessions, Making Up, and making out, Matt Mudock's Martyr Complex, (it's practically a character in the show let's not play)
Summary: Neither of them seem to know how to fill the silence that stretches between them. Foggy has never been at a loss for words around Matt Murdock; since he walked into Foggy's life all those years ago with his stupid fluffy hair and Thurgood Marshall quotes, it's all Foggy can do to keep the words in. For a second he thinks that maybe Matt hung up, but he can still hear his breathing on the other end of the line. Maybe this was a bad idea.
Eres Mi Grande Avocado (20843 words) by ChuckleVoodoos
Additional Tags: Fluff, Language Kink, Bad Spanish, Mutual Pining, Oblivious
Summary: Matt's got this way of speaking in Spanish that's just a little different than his way of speaking in English. In English, all of Matt's words are carefully weighed and measured and cut like crystal. They're precious but planned. With Spanish, the words seem to fall like drops of liquid gold, hot and rich and wild, and it makes Foggy want to gather them to himself and finally be warm.

Additional Tags: Kind of a character study, Matt Being Matt, Creeper Matt Murdock, what is normal romance anyway, Someone gets kissed while unconcious and uninformed, hospital room get together, the boundary lines for superheros' love interests are weird sorry I don't make the rules
Summary: And the City is heavy - millions of tons of concrete and steel and the people who live there, all beating down on the discs between Matt's bones and bowing his neck over his bloodied hands. He spills its blood and it spills his, and he takes his pound of flesh from it and it carves scars into his skin and lays claim to him. This is the altar at which he prays with busted knuckles and it's never enough. -- The mouth-to-mouth resuscitation of Matt Murdock's heart takes a few years, but they get there. Eventually.
It's affection, always (1734 words) by elliceluella
Additional Tags: domestic fluff - kinda, look at these dorky avocados, also a tiny peek into Foggy's varied sighs, and Matt 'friend-blocker' Murdock, it's totally cool for law partners to go grocery shopping together
Summary: “Oh my god,” Foggy hisses and points an accusing finger at Matt. “You’ve been friend-blocking me all these years! No wonder Mark and Jenny gave me funny looks when I asked if they wanted to join our study group again!” “I heard them planning to poach you! They wanted you in their group,” Matt insists, brows arched high but managing to tuck everything else he wants to say into the neat creases that rest between them. In Matt's defense though, Foggy's a great guy.

Series: Part 1 of enchanted
Summary: Foggy gets stuck with a magical bracelet - though it might be alien, we just don't know, or maybe it's both? - that's supposed to help him find his True Love by not getting off until he finds it. It's very inconvenient and all fault of Matt's. Somehow. Most certainly. Thank God the bracelet's pretty, at the least. "A metal bracelet will tell him that." Jessica's voice is full of disdain, it's music to Foggy's ears. "And how exactly is he supposed to go checking, hmm?" "True Love's Kiss," Luke says suddenly. Four heads turn to him and one only slightly in his direction. "True Love's Kiss can break any curse, or that's what Once tells me."

Additional Tags: Round Robin, Love Potion/Spell
Summary: "What does that mean?" Matt asks Strange. "Well, that depends," Strange says, unfolding his legs and letting his feet touch the floor again. Matt gets the distinct impression Strange is hedging. "Are you currently suffering heartbreak?" Matt very carefully doesn't think about Elektra. Or Karen. Or Foggy. "Let's leave my personal life out of this." Strange clears his throat. "Yes, well, that option may no longer be on the table." Matt really hates magic.

Summary: Foggy always said that his mother wanted him to be a butcher. (Or, that's what he told Matt. The truth is a little more complicated, and definitely unbelievable.) He planned on keeping it a secret forever, buried along with his affections for Matt, but Hell's Kitchen has other plans.

Summary: “I would not be surprised if it was love that brought on these developments. You feel very deeply, Foggy; it is entirely possible that it has opened your power to deeper perception,” Professor X says. How very Hallmark. But Foggy hasn’t fallen in love with anyone new since high school. Definitely not in the last year. Definitely not in his dorm room. Mutant AU In which Empath!Foggy is super open about his not-so-superpowers, and Matt is not. Dumbass.

Additional Tags: Foggy is an accidental superhero, he is not amused, au view of how Foggy finds out, Adult Content, Adult Language, Angst, Drama, Humor, Mild Gore, Canon-Typical Violence, Mild Sexual Content, Kink Meme, Frottage
Summary: As far as randomly acquired superhero powers go, he is going to admit right now that his are kind of lame. Okay, lots lame. Sort of. But considering Matt is a complete and utter dingus with about the same self-preservation instincts as a mosquito flying full tilt into a bug zapper, he figures an extra edge - as fucking weird and annoying as it is - is probably worth the headache.

Additional Tags: Soulmate-Identifying Marks, Misunderstandings
Summary: Foggy supports his dick with one palm and tilts the hand mirror, trying to see. He gets a great view of his thumb. Tilts a little more - nope, that's his stomach. He can sort of feel the bumps, but they're definitely not ribbing or anything, no matter what Marci says. Maybe bigger than the bumps on other dicks he's seen, but it's probably definitely not herpes; he doesn't have any of the symptoms.

A Secret Chord (11467 words) by joidianne4eva
Additional Tags: Sirens, Alternate Universe - Supernatural Elements, Homophobia, Homophobic Language
Summary: Foggy could vaguely remember a time when he’d dreamed of the things any of their kind should. He dreamt of the trucks his dad would make for him, dragging their essence out of thin air only to laugh when Foggy gaped at him, like he always did. But that would only happen if Foggy didn’t steal cookies and get in trouble at school. Foggy dreamt of the melodies that wove their way through his very being. The soft, husky timbre of his mother’s voice coaxing his own into something that felt almost right even if it wasn’t as powerful as the tune that his mom carried with her. Then one day Foggy’s dreams caught fire and the world burned with it.

Illumination (1715 words) by keilson
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Alternate Universe - Canon, monochromatic life, Schmoop
Summary: When Foggy meets his very adorable, geeky new roommate, nothing changes. That's not true. When Foggy meets Matt, everything changes. It just doesn't include an understanding of red, or blue, or yellow. He still can't see a rainbow, he can't paint by numbers, and he'll never appreciate the supposed almost-red of his hair. (a reflection on life without color, bringing a new meaning to the phrase love is blind.)

Additional Tags: Foggy's beautiful princess hair, College era
Summary: "You cut your hair." Foggy winces at Matt's words, shrugging guiltily. "Marci wants me to take her to her cousin's wedding next weekend and she told me that she refused to be seen in public with someone who looked like they had all the good weed hook-ups," he says, as if that's some kind of explanation. Matt slumps back against the wall. "You cut your hair," he repeats, hissing it like a curse, "because Marci told you to?"

Additional Tags: Fluff, betting pools, POV Outsider, Marci is a goddess who none of us deserve honestly, this is one of those "everybody else knows they should be dating but them" fics, Law School
Summary: Halfway through the night, after Foggy’s dragged Marci to Hell’s Kitchen to get cheap ass drunk on liquor that’s not even labeled, Matt’s the one who ends up wearing Foggy’s jacket-which is…okay. You know, it’s not like they’re dating, Foggy and her. They did, briefly, a weird spat of monogamy and dorm room domesticity that didn’t sit right with either of them. Now, they just mostly fuck each other and hang out and study, which is better. Feelings are messy and Marci’s not great at them-and, frankly, she doesn’t like not being great at things. At this point, though, she really just wants to know when these small dumb children who keep following her around are finally going to get their own shit together.

Summary: “I walked into a file cabinet,” Murdock says loudly, when Claire reaches for his face, tilts it toward the light so she can check that nasty-looking cut on his cheekbone a little better. “Oh my God,” Karen murmurs; in her peripheral vision, Claire sees her press her face into her hands. “I thought we were going to come up with a better-” Nelson begins, visibly stops himself, and continues: “-explanation of that thing that definitely happened.”

Summary: "Shut up," Foggy says, embarrassed for himself and also Foggy-in-the-video, holy shit. Oh, and there goes a return kiss. On the cheek, thank God, so that's something - that means Foggy can still control himself a little bit no matter how falling down drunk he is. Stupid enough to get married to his best friend, not stupid enough to actually try making out with said best friend. That. That's way too wet for a kiss on the cheek, for all that Matt-in-the-video is cackling with apparent glee. -- You can't plea bargain out of marriage, Foggy. Consider yourself guilty as charged.

Say Yes, Say Yes (well I would if you asked) (7994 words) by Werelibrarian, shinykari
Additional Tags: Mutual Pining, Marriage Proposal, Misunderstandings, Jealousy, Declarations Of Love, Round Robin
Summary: Foggy has a weird habit of saying “marry me” instead of “thank you”. Bring him food, flop a blanket over him when he’s half asleep, put a coffee down on the desk, save him from an awkward situation, you’ll get proposed to. But not Matt. Oh no, he gets a “hey, thanks!” or “you’re the best, Matty!” or “my hero.” Which are all…fine. But they’re not the same.

Summary: “Do you want to tell us what all of this is about?” Foggy’s mom tried and Foggy shook his head. “Right, let me rephrase that. Tell me what all of this is about,” she muttered and Foggy sighed as he picked at the cushions because he’d never been good at lying to his family. “I think I’m in love,” he responded finally. There was dead silence for a moment before his mother rose to her feet. “Where are you going?” Foggy gaped after her. “For more alcohol, I’ve got a feeling we’re going to need it,” she called back.

That was not tea for luck and prosperity I gave you." Foggy makes a neutral humming sound, playing along, humoring her. Mrs. Wick seems to be taking this seriously. "I seem to have instead given you... Love Potion Number Nine." - In which everyone around Foggy starts acting differently, except for Matt. Who knows why?

Summary: Foggy’s a good guy. The best, actually; but that’s never been in contention. What is though, is whether Matt deserves to have someone like Foggy in his life (knowing the answer does nothing when he’s a fan of rehashing old turmoils). In which Matt tries his best to hide his sad, ducky feelings (it's not his fault Foggy- and his things- always smells like home). Based on this prompt about Foggy and his coat lending habits.

Summary: “I’m not letting Marci think she’s better at sex than I am,” Matt muttered and Foggy rolled his eyes so hard his head hurt. “She’s not better at sex than you are,” he shot back and it was just his luck that Marci decided that that was when she wanted to answer her phone. “Lies and slander, Foggy-bear. Remember that time I made you pass out?” she greeted and Foggy winced when Matt narrowed his eyes, his head cocked in the way that said he’d definitely heard what Marci had said.

Summary: The first time it had happened Foggy thought it must have been an accident. Matt was blind and the love bite was almost entirely hidden by his shirt collar. The second time he didn't even notice because he dressed at Matt's place and the man didn't own a mirror - unsurprisingly. This time he can't resist saying something.
