NA - Just want to mention that as a reader and rape survivor (and flatmeme viewer), it was really jarring and uncomfortable to start to read the Frank/Elektra/Matt fic and then learn that it was a rape fic with one of my favorite characters as the perpetrator. I really wish that one had been left with the original title intact. So authors reading, here's another reader that would really appreciate and love if you left the subject line, at least in part!
(And if you need incentive, there have been times I skimmed the start of a fic on flatmeme w/o the subject line, decided it probably wasn't to my taste, and much later found out it was in response to a favorite (or my own!) prompt. You can probably get more readers if you include subject lines!)
And I find that sentiments like that allow for bad situations to get worse. This isn't primary school, it's a kink meme. People need to be told if their actions are causing problems.
From what I've read, the fluffiest ones are these -
- http://archiveofourown.org/works/5668480/chapters/13057273 "Devil for Sale" (also on the meme: http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/2267.html?thread=11543515#cmt11543515)
- http://archiveofourown.org/works/4753766 "Private Property" (not on the meme, I think)
- http://archiveofourown.org/works/5651362/chapters/13015924 "Hold My Hand" (also on the meme: http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/2267.html?thread=10483675#cmt10483675)
All three of these follow the formula (which I mean in the most positive way, because I LOVE that formula) of 'Slave!Matt angsts and constantly expects THE WORST, but Foggy is what every human should aspire to be, i.e., helps him in every way he can and Matt slowly heals and becomes a happier person. All of these are heavy on the comfort and the 'hurt' is mostly just terrible things Matt imagines *could* happen but they don't (so far). "Hold My Hand" has some parts where Matt remembers actual torture that happened to him in the past, though, so you might want to watch out for that. Both "Devil for Sale" as well as "Hold My Hand" are further along on the meme than on Ao3 and are still updated.)
This is also a 'Matt and Foggy are friends, despite Matt being a slave' -thing, only this also features the Avengers. I think it's actually quite funny, because there's a lot of misunderstandings, but no actual hurt. Has the usual Matt-Angst, but no bad things (yet) and the conversations between Matt and Foggy are very sweet.
Next Up:
http://archiveofourown.org/works/5059933/chapters/13235776 "Lost and Found (not on the meme...I think.)
This one is less fluffy than the ones above, mostly because this Foggy is a lot less able to protect this Matt from the effects of slavery. It does have a lot of bad stuff happen to Matt in lengthier flashbacks, so proceed with care, even though the friendship moments are very heartwarming.
Last one: (putting it up here for completeness' sake, but, uh...not much fluff. At all. Lots of fascinating broken characters and a fun read, but uh...85% clusterfuck, 15% fluff? Probably?) : http://archiveofourown.org/works/5711002/chapters/13156642 "I can't be fixed and I don't care to be saved" (Exactly what it says on the tin) (Also on the meme: http://daredevilkink.dreamwidth.org/2267.html?thread=12007643#cmt12007643)
I *think* that's all of them, but for specifically fluff I'd recommend the top three (and maybe the fourth one). Hope you find something! :)
(Note: There are more slavery fills on the meme, a lot of them dealing with slave!Foggy - the above are all slave!Matt - but those, uh, yeah, NOT FLUFFY. DEFINITELY NOT FLUFFY. I've also left out the crossover fills because they are a bit confusing to me, sorry!)
OOOh, nearly forgot: Bonus! This is definitely nothing but fluff, and has Slave!Karen: http://archiveofourown.org/works/5257565 "The Language of Coffee" :)
Guys... Both approaches are fine. It doesn't have to be one or the other. Different authors have different styles and are or aren't as confrontational or are more or less nervous about wank. So I think really the OP here could take whichever advice works for them.
I don't see the point in bashing one or the other approach. Both are valid. And I've seen both sometimes still lead to wank. So it's a personal choice and nice that we all gave this author advice to consider. It's not a competition.
It's unlikely, but if fluff OP wants to read the 15% of the fluff of "can't be fixed, don't care to be saved", chapters 15 and 28 are the most happy, with Matt interacting with a baby and also 28 involves the Nelsons being nice to him.
Almost all are Matt/Foggy or else gen. Mostly fluff with added spices of pining and porn.

And as always I recommend everything by poisonivory and ChuckleVoodoos.
Totally off-topic, but as the author of 'I can't be fixed and I don't care to be saved', this description warms my dead, cold heart. '85% clusterfuck and 15% fluff' and 'fascinating broken characters and a fun read' is so friggin' sweet :)
(SA just letting you know some stuff came up so I might not get around to watching for a few days. I'm not disappearing off the face of the planet, promise :P)
