I mean, for me, I try to tread the line by having both realistic progress in the Matt + Foggy relationship, followed by setbacks and new problems arising, because IME that's how relationships go between people who are traumatized/have issues, you take one step forward, two back, and three to the side into crazy town. I also think that having things build up requires some downtime afterwards, but my own ratio of fluff to fucked-up leans heavily on the fucked-up.
