This is not 100% your prompt I'm afraid but I couldn't resist. There were things Matt had known he’d have to deal with if he put on a mask and became a vigilante: secrets, lies, bruises. There were also things he’d never thought of in his wildest dreams: explicit erotic fanfiction between, well himself and himself. (That one was very high on the list of things he hadn’t expected…in fact it was the only thing on that list).
Of course he knew of fanfiction, he just rarely enjoyed anything so much that he felt the need to search for stories about what the characters were up to between scenes or after the last page. So finding out that there were also stories about real people had shocked him a bit (a lot). Foggy was just incredibly amused and gave him dramatic readings of the highlights in irregular intervals. He tried to get him interested enough to check out the rest of the story which didn’t work. Well not always.
He was up for another one. He could tell that from the chuckling coming from Foggy’s office. Soon a hearty laugh followed. But then…a slight gasp, the sound of Foggy spilling what he was drinking on his desk and then silence. Foggy did not come over afterwards, instead typing-sounds suggested Foggy had gotten back to do some actual work. That was odd. Foggy had cheerfully and with no hint of embarrassment read out a ‘Daredevil takes Matt to an orgy with the Avengers’-fic. If there was something that had shocked Foggy into silence Matt really shouldn’t try to find out what that was.
Really.
Apparently he was in the mood for making stupid decisions today.
The first few fics were nothing out of the ordinary. One particularly cringe-worthy sounding one was about Matt and Daredevil going to the cinema (did these people knew how few cinemas showed movies with audio-description at reasonable times?) There was yet another ‘Daredevil saves kidnapped-Matt’ one. (“The thing about those,” Foggy had explained, “isn’t just that all the trauma that comes from being kidnapped and occasionally tortured is healed just with sex. It’s also how stupid you are. Who gets a call from a guy who claims to be a prospective client but doesn’t even say his name and then goes to meet that guy in a lonely area in the middle of the night?”). And then there was one tagged with “Daredevil/Foggy Nelson”. Matt now understood why Foggy had spilled his drink.
He really should not read this. This would be so very awkward. He also hadn’t fulfilled his stupid-decision quote on this day.
It turned out to be about Daredevil poetically waxing about Foggy’s hair. For about 300 words. Matt did not deny that Foggy’s hair was…nice. And quite possibly he had a hard time leaving his hands out of it when he was inebriated, a fact Foggy enjoyed mocking him about. However he’d never been so drunk that he said “When I run my fingers through your silky blond locks I forget all the evil in the world.” (If he had done it Foggy would have gotten that sentence stitched on a pillow in braille just to remind Matt of it for the rest of his life). Afterwards Foggy and Daredevil kissed and the rest was thankfully fade to black because Matt was still too frozen to stop his screen-reader. It did, however, mercilessly read out the author’s note at the end: “I know everybody says Murdock is hot and he totally is but Nelson is so cuddly and adorable and gosh that hair…where was I? Oh yeah I think he totally should get in on the fun as well. Right?”
There were already several comments left on the fic. He didn’t even tell himself anymore that this was a bad idea and he shouldn’t do it. He knew it very well and he knew this wasn’t going to stop him. They mainly just agreed with the author about the awesomeness of Foggy’s hair and that they were right about Foggy also needing love. Which apparently meant having fanfiction written about him (one comment included suggestions for further details on that topic. Matt really wished he could unhear that bit). And because things could in fact get worse one commenter suggested that Nelson/Daredevil was great but “has anybody thought about Nelson/Murdock? I know we’re more about superheroes but they are involved in superhero-stuff all the time. And have you seen how closely together these two usually are? That’s so cute!” (It’s because he’s guiding me, Matt wanted to yell, you can’t do that from two arm’s lengths away).
After that Foggy did not inform him of further developments in the Daredevil-fandom for a while but after about a month he was dealing with the fact that people were writing explicit sex-scenes involving him much better than Matt did. (“I’m now getting my own kidnapping-fics! And I get to be just as stupid as you!”). There were also drawings apparently. At least he couldn’t even be tempted by those. Screen-readers did not do image descriptions.
Karen, however, did.
“If I’m honest I’m not sure if that is anatomically possible if I’m honest.”
“I really don’t want to know.”
“I mean it’s good in the sense that Foggy and Daredevil are clearly recognizable but I’m pretty sure not even Daredevil can do this and still bend around and look Foggy in the eyes.”
“Please don’t give me details about what exactly ‘this’ is.”
“Fine. Do you want a run-down of the 20 page long and very emotional discussion about whether Foggy is better off with Daredevil or with you?”
“What? No…20 pages seriously?”
“Yeah…no wait. This morning it were 20 pages. Now it’s 23.”
“Are you following this closely? Actually…don’t tell me if you do.”
Karen said nothing which was probably for the best.
