Oh, I have absolutely added this to my stack of prompts that I am going to write someday, omg, really. I am enjoying the idea far too much to just leave it now. :D Though I am delighted to hear you are liking it! And I have such a thing for Foggy being smart, you don't even know. Everyone underestimates the guy, especially standing next to Matt. But there are reasons Matt's best friends with the guy, you know? And it's not just because Foggy is a ray of sunshine or a perfect cinnamon roll. (And Matt!whump is just fun, because I am a terrible person.)
No, no. I know exactly what you mean. I know *I* would have trouble recognizing someone by just a partial look at the lower half of their face. Especially in low-light conditions (DD being a vigilante of the night who favours dark alleys and all) and (life-threateningly) stressful situations. And after they start hooking up, Matt's going to go to extra lengths to try and keep Foggy from seeing enough of him to recognize anything. So yeah. I can see Foggy not making the connection at all for a good, long time. Because you're absolutely right in everything you said in your reply.
BUT. The injuries. Those are a lot harder to overlook. And I think eventually Foggy will notice something about Matt that he last saw/felt with DD. And once might not be enough, but repeated times? DD gets the shit kicked of him A LOT, leaving poor Matt looking like a trainwreck sometimes. Between being worried out of his mind for his BFF, and trying to remember how not to hurt his hot sex friend this week, Foggy's going to figure it out eventually.
(And I honestly do think that Matt's going to slip up with the DD persona around Foggy sometimes. Heat of the moment, enjoying the afterglow, maybe just returning snark that's a bit more fond than sarcastic. Or all of the above. Again, maybe not enough on its own, but added to everything else...)
Good to know you're not discouraging this, though! Because I really do kind of love the idea. I am far too entertained at the notion of Foggy figuring it out, having a crisis over it, getting over his crisis, and going, "All right, then. If that's how he wants to play this, game fucking on." and setting out to screw with Matt. ...And then having to give in and whack him over the head with the clue bat anyway, because Matt's too busy wallowing in ~ANGST~. XD
Re: Daredevil/Foggy & Matt/Foggy, Foggy doesn't know they are the same person
