Way With Words
The first time Foggy seriously brought up "The Man in the Mask," it was over takeout and too much paperwork. He'd kind of mentioned the whole thing earlier with Karen, called him a nut, and moved on as quickly as Matt had.
"Who do you think he is?" Foggy said casually over dinner later, completely oblivious to the outfit lying in a grimy heap barely even hidden in Matt's closet.
"Who do I think who is?"
"You know, the masked man. Our brand new off-brand Avenger. The dude running around like he thinks pirate chic should come back in style."
My second piece for the Mattfog Bang run by the @themattfogblog! This one is a collaboration with the incredibly talented @onemagpie who made two wonderful pieces for this fic, the banner and the one I'm about to share below!
[Image ID: A digital drawing of Matt and Foggy sitting at a table. Matt is drinking out of a glass and sweating nervously. He has one eyebrow raised. Foggy has a cup of coffee in front of him and is on his phone, reading something and laughing. The table is scattered with papers. End ID.]

The Last Goodbye by @stripedscribe, art by @amazing-spiderling
Summary:
Matt Murdock always assumed he'd go down in a blaze of glory. At the end of a blade, in a hail of gunfire, or perhaps even at the hands of Spider-Woman herself. What New York's kingpin never imagined was that he might one day lose his life to something as soft and silent as the poison of a flower. Or as impossible as falling in love.
Cottontails and Lawyers by @wolfnprey, art by @catholicism-and-comics
Summary:
it starts with Foggy taking Matt to a petting zoo and ends with their apartment full of hopping bunnies.
Your Heart Is Where Treasure Resides by @stripedscribe, art by @missmoochy
Summary:
Tonight as usual, the clouds hung low and heavy around the streets, the spire of the church hidden from view. He didnāt look anymore, the habit of a child of looking for the dragon had long since faded out of excitement. It had almost always been too cloudy, but on the days it wasnāt, heād always seen the dragon, perched in its same position. A well trained pair of kids' binoculars could pick out the details, eyes closed in a slumber, and the tip of a horn damaged by the elements.
No longer a child, Foggy found himself walking the streets late at night, with his dog. A sudden scare, and she was spooked, running blindly into an open doorway
He wasnāt expecting to find her caught between the claws of a dragon. A low breath escaped from his mouth, as the heavy head of the creature swung to look at him. Eyes that didnāt seem to meet his own, but at the same time looked right through him, instantly seeming to weigh his soul.
It's a Wonderful Life by @pixelbypixelfanfic, art by @rrr-nightingale
Summary:
Matthew Murdock wakes up in a hospital. He's told that he collapsed in court, that he had a seizure. Worse, he's told that Foggy was killed a week earlier, and Matt can't remember any of this happening.
Things get weirder from there.
(But they end up happy, promise!)
Praying For The Devil by @missmoochy, art by @neonbrutalism
Summary:
Foggy Nelson would never reckon that he inspires strong feelings in anybody. He blunders through life and has a good time but always seems to miss the excitement. But Foggy doesn't realise that he's getting noticed. Dark forces have sinister designs on him, and if he wants to survive, he'd better start praying.
Epistaxis Anime by @inkforhumanhands, art by @amazing-spiderling
Summary:
Matt has been managing his epistaxis animeāa rare disease that causes its sufferer intense nosebleeds when they experience sexual attractionājust fine until meeting his law school roommate, Foggy, unleashes something within him. Matt struggles to keep his growing feelings and their bloody aftermath in check, all while hiding the true nature of his disease from Foggy. But as the lies and jealousy start to mount, Matt learns there are some status quos that arenāt worth preserving.
We Love Like Fools by @wolfnprey, art by @rrr-nightingale
Summary:
āWhatās the point in acting like you donāt know Iām here when we both know that you could hear me coming?ā
Mattās smile widened as he sat back in his chair and looked where he knew Foggy was standing.
āThe cover of normalcy?ā He offered in explanation, earning a disbelieving scoff from his closest friend.
āThere is nothing normal about you, Matt,ā Foggy replied, sounding strangely fond. It wasnāt abnormal, There were many things that Foggy would say to Matt that sounded that way with no understandable reason.
aka, Matt takes a hard look at what it means to be in love with his best friend, with the help of some smart women in his life.
The Balancing Act by @booksandcoffeeandink, art by @onemagpie
Summary:
Nelson & Murdock is back and better than ever, Daredevil isn't dealing with crime lords or evil organizations, and things are feeling settled.
Surely it doesn't matter that they desperately need a new office, Matt's bored (even with all of the new clients) and guilty about it, and Foggy's still adjusting to all of the truth that is his best friend. They just have to try harder. Right?
Words Unspoken, Still Heard by @amazing-spiderling, art by @artbymintcookies
Summary:
After being reminded of the myriad reasons his past relationships have never worked out, Matt starts second guessing whether he's doing enough to make his impact on Foggy's life a positive one. Unfortunately, his concerted efforts to be a more attentive partner go awry when he can't stop himself from playing the part of a hero, and ending up in a little trouble himself.
Other People's Blood by @pomegranate-belle, art by @neonbrutalism
Summary:
Foggy finds himself reminiscing on the ten years he's known Matt Murdock - son of and assassin for the Kingpin. The things they've learned about each other and the violence they've wrought together. Something sharp, and twisted, and beautiful.
A love story written in other people's blood.
a slightly kinder college AU by @confusedandhopeful, art by @onemagpie
Summary:
Matt picks himself back up after the mess with Elektra, with a little help from his friends.

Daredevil is Into Me (Sexually) by @certaintendencies, art by @foggy-with-a-matt
Summary:
He really canāt tell the detective the true reason behind their late night rendezvous. Which is why, after a secondās hesitation and a deep, irrational moment of the fuck-its, Foggy shrugs and says, āBecause Daredevil is into me.ā And then, when the detective blinks rapidly and fails to respond, Foggy specifies, āSexually.ā
Kindness Is My Sword by Iithril, art by @pomegranate-belle
Summary:
"Do you remember when you two first met?" Karen asked, in a vain but still appreciated attempt at distracting him.
"Right," Foggy started, clearing his throat, fearing he had dived in too deep, "let me relate to you the tale of a young scribe who happened to forget his inks in the library, and of the young page he encountered on his route to retrieve them that fateful night."
Foggy has to save Matt from something he didn't do, and realises things along the way.
Way With Words by @matt-murdok, art by @onemagpie
Summary:
The first time Foggy seriously brought up "The Man in the Mask," it was over takeout and too much paperwork. He'd kind of mentioned the whole thing earlier with Karen, called him a nut, and moved on as quickly as Matt had.
"Who do you think he is?" Foggy said casually over dinner later, completely oblivious to the outfit lying in a grimy heap barely even hidden in Matt's closet.
"Who do I think who is?"
"You know, the masked man. Our brand new off-brand Avenger. The dude running around like he thinks pirate chic should come back in style."
Be Mine by @happybeans, art by @foggy-with-a-matt
Summary:
Working at a pet shop in small town Colorado, Matt likes to imagine heās happy with his uneventful life. But when Wilson Fisk moves back to town with plans to reinstate its old mining days, Matt and newfound friends/romantic partners Foggy and Karen realize they need to take a stand, finding out the truth about the past in order to save the future.
DareBear: The Plush Without Fear by @pomegranate-belle, art by @stripedscribeĀ Ā Ā
Summary:
āHeās a DareBear,ā Foggy explained, handing the plush over to Karen.
She laughed.
āNot BearDevil?ā
āNah. Itās a wholeā thing.ā The air shifted as Foggy made a vague hand gesture. āThe group that makes them gives them to kids; to comfort them, to hold while they testify, that kind of thing. So they feel safe. Makes more sense to keep the dare than the devil, in this case.ā
---
Post-Season 3, Matt and Foggy grow closer again and share the last of their secrets - with a little help from a Daredevil-themed teddy bear.
Revenant Eternal by @bleedxblack-art, art by @foggy-with-a-matt
Summary:
After living longer than any others in human history, very little phased Foggy Nelson or Matt Murdock. Kingdoms rose and fell, men and women lived and diedā for centuries, the only constant in the two loversā lives was the presence of the other. The tricky thing about their existence, though, was how positively uncertain their very lives had proven to be. If no one had any idea what prolonged their lives in the first place, it followed that they also had no idea what would end it. When old mistakes, fresh wounds, and new enemies change everything, the pair must adapt and navigate the world in spite of their fears.
life gets stranger every time we meet by @griefpersevering, art by Iithril
Summary:
The first time Foggy meets Matthew Murdock, it's because of a lost parcel. The second time, they share leftover chinese. The third time? Foggy's apartment building burns down, and his week only gets worse from there.
Testing by @metaderivative, art by @onemagpie
Summary:
Now that she knows he's Daredevil, Karen Page schemes to test the extent of Matt Murdock's super-powered senses. ...At least, that's what she tells Foggy when she enlists his help in the friendly pranks. Really, she's masterminding a scheme to finally get Matt and Foggy to talk about the most powerful of all feelings: true love!
But There is Only Terror by @ijustreallylovedaredevil, art by @bleedxblack-art
Summary:
Things are great. Matt and Foggy are married and very much in love, and about to go on their honeymoon.
Then itās March 2020, and no one is going anywhere.
i never could forgive myself for leaving out (you're the one, you are the only one) by @loving-jack-kelly, art by @rrr-nightingale
Summary:
It didnāt take too long to fall in love with Foggy.
In fact, it took all of two months. The thing was just that Foggy was the best thing to ever happen to Matt. He was kindness and warmth and laughter, and even if living with him took (a lot of) adjusting, two months in Matt caught himself wondering what it would be like to kiss Foggy.
But Foggy wasnāt his, he wasnāt dating Foggy, he had absolutely no right to feel like this just because Foggy had found somebody to date.
Summary: He really canāt tell the detective the true reason behind their late night rendezvous. Which is why, after a secondās hesitation and a deep, irrational moment of the fuck-its, Foggy shrugs and says, āBecause Daredevil is into me.ā And then, when the detective blinks rapidly and fails to respond, Foggy specifies, āSexually.ā
[ID: A banner for a fic, with a pained Matt in the leftmost third of the image. He is hunched over, wearing a brown suit, walking towards the left. His shadow has his Daredevil horns, distorted on the grey background, larger than Matt. In the silhouette, his heart and circulatory system are highlighted in a sickly green. There are irregularly globular concentric shapes around the head of his shadow. The latter two thirds hold the text for the fic, "Words Unspoken, Still Heard. Written by thelonebamf, art by upupanyway." End ID]

Summary: The first time Foggy meets Matthew Murdock, it's because of a lost parcel. The second time, they share leftover chinese. The third time? Foggy's apartment building burns down, and it only gets worse from there.
Extract:
Monday
Really, Foggy should have predicted that his week would turn to shit. Heād been doing okay recently - good, he would even dare to say - with his new job, a new apartment, and even a new season of his favourite TV show. In Foggyās experience, good things tend to disappear quickly, and he should have been suspicious of all the happiness heād been feeling for the first week in his apartment.
He startles awake to the sound of someone banging aggressively on the door. Groaning into his pillow, he considers smothering himself instead of getting up, but he can already imagine the headline and embarrassing photo his sister would supply, so he forces himself to answer it.
āPackage,ā the delivery guy outside says, smacking his gum. āSign here.ā
(Wow, Foggy canāt help but think. There really is someone who gives less of a shit than me. Who knew.)
Foggy doesnāt remember ordering anything, but he hasnāt had a coffee yet and canāt be bothered arguing with anyone this early, so he obediently signs for the package. The delivery guy thrusts it into his arms (and Jesus, is it heavy) before walking away, spitting his gum onto the floor as he goes.
āThanks,ā Foggy says to the guyās back out of reflex. āI hope it isnāt fragile,ā he adds, mostly to himself, before shutting the door behind him.
