There's a few fills on the earlier round of the great crackship Matt/Daredevil, and while these are WONDERFUL, here me out:
So imagine in-universe, there's a dedicated RPF fandom who mostly write about superheroes (Iron Man, Cap, etc). Daredevil comes along, and he quickly becomes a very popular character to write about. Foggy knows about this, and teases Matt mercilessly about the whole thing, and they sometimes get together and read out bad prose and some of the more bizaare premises they find. Matt/Daredevil becomes a popular ship because of Nelson and Murdock's involvement with Fisk.
BUT, there's a growing following of people who are watching the news whenever Matt or Foggy get interviewed (because N&M seem to somehow get involved in a LOT of Daredevil's cases for some reason) and who go huh, the blond guy's kinda cute.
This evolves into the internet becoming quite taken with precious cinnamon roll RPF!Foggy. Foggy is bemused and slightly flattered. Matt doesn't know how to take the Matt/Foggy fics that keep getting written (apparently there's fanart as well, but Foggy is being very vague about them). Matt knows exactly how he feels about the small subsection of Foggy/Daredevil fics, and the answer is definitely not conflicted and slightly aroused.
+10 Godawful purple prose and p0rn. Foggy and/or Matt wonders why they're such woobies ('Is that even a word, Matt?'), and why Daredevil suddenly becomes needy and OOC whenever Foggy gets even close to getting into his pants. +100 Ship wars over Foggy/Matt and Foggy/DD which Matt definitely does not under any circumstances follow intensely. +1000 Matt perhaps hadn't thought about Foggy's 'luscious cherry lips' or 'flowing blond locks' but HE'S SURE THINKING ABOUT THEM NOW THANKS INTERNET. +10000 Karen's maybe not so in the public limelight, but she becomes this mythical badass figure who basically runs Nelson and Murdock (while Matt and Foggy go at it like teenagers in the conference room, if you ask the M/F shippers).
tl;dr - RPF fandom ships Foggy with both Matt and Daredevil. Matt is confused and definitely not turned on.
