oh OP. there's more of Tony's epic fail at Basic Communication with Human Beings coming.

he's prob gonna want to return some of the office equipment bc they all sound like they've been bugged. I kind of want to give them their very own AI honestly.

look, it's not rocket science, their old equipment is ancient and as far as Karen is concerned, as long as Foggy keeps playing hard to get then they're going to get all the latest Stark Industries office equipment for free.

Matt is torn between being pragmatic about it and marching up to Tony to give him a good long lecture about trying to bribe his best friend away from him

honestly I would do the same thing too

'Angry' doesn't even begin to cut it. :D There will be a lot of interesting reactions from four parties involved in the reveal.

Thank you! The previous fic was pretty limited to only Foggy and Matt, I wanted to include more of the people in their lives, especially since I wanted to show that Matt's confession was having a visible impact on their lives, one that others were able to pick up on (hence Karen).

Foggy's a lawyer, so of course he'd try to get at Stick through courts. Picking the possible charges was easy for me, criminal liability for first degree rape in NY does not fall under any limitation clause, so it'd be infinitely easy for Foggy to establish jurisdiction over the guy. But how can you prosecute and sentence a man who only goes by 'Stick' and who is gods know where? Criminal proceedings are not commenced in absentia, so Foggy would actually have to HAVE the guy to press charges. So he'd need to find him.

And who'd be a better help with that than Foggy's lovely P.I. neighbour Jess? Especially since - as it'll be mentioned in the next part - Jess has some serious problems with child rapists.

But that's next time! Also next time, mentions of Foggy's family members and the guys attempting to communicate.

As for the sidenote: it's probably going to stay gen (some very light dancing around the edge of pre-slash at best), because this would be some really bad timing for big love revelations and getting together. However, there will be some more talk of people thinking that Matt and Foggy should be dating/are made for each other/are already dating, and perhaps even a callback to Matt's confession of love (platonic or otherwise) way back in the first fic.

I'm watching season 2 rn and one of the contestants said ‘I’m calm now – like a train is coming and I’m just going to let it hit me’ and I can honestly see any of the characters saying this.

now anon.... what are your preferences in terms of a fill?
like do you want it to be a full on AU (Because I can really see Elena as Mary Berry and Ben or Father Lantom as Paul Hollywood) & like is there anything specifically about the Bake Off that you want to see included

(also thank you for prompting this because it lead to me discovering they made a spin off 'Great British Sewing Bee' which is something I need in my life)

I filled this over on the AO3: http://archiveofourown.org/works/4542027 (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4542027)

This is great, I love it!

"Service animals aren't limited to dogs. Some people have mini horses, or tiny monkeys, or even pot bellied pigs. Its what works best for the person they're guiding, and what works best for me is this possum. Be more open minded"

He ends up keeping the possum for a week out of stubbornness until someone calls animal control and he has to escape his office via the window and set it free in a plentiful dumpster.

"'Because that'll go down great in court. 'Come on, your honor. Other than all the sexual abuse, my client was a great mother. Some kids just need a different approach, and sometimes that approach is fucking torture.'
...
Fuck, I'm not mad at you. I just- just let me give you a hug"

You don’t make it all the way through the filing process in the Manhattan civil court on a drunken whim.
- LMAO.

Yeah, name changes are a pain, but totally worth it. x) I got mine changed at 19 and a couple of my friends around the U.S. got theirs changed in the next couple of years, and there are definitely absolutely no regrets. #WorthIt

Matt had expected to go some glorious way. Dying while fighting for the innocent and kicking some ass on his way out.

But no. He died from a fucking bee sting. Why were there even bees in new York? And how the hell was he supposed to know he was allergic? Hell he didn't even remember being sting.

So when death held out her hand to take him to the other side he gave her a big 'fuck you'. He had shit to do.

She hadn't liked that very much... And for his rudeness he was confined to a single appartment building for the rest of eternity.

It wasn't too bad. It was a pretty big building with plenty of criminals to harass. For example, Vanessa. She was dating the notorious Fisk. Bastard. And while Matt couldn't get Fisk as he rarely visited her, he was content to shred her priceless paintings. The first time he did it she called the police and of course they found nothing. Ghosts left no evidence.

Then, Fisk had sent his second in command, Wesley, to watch over her after the second time. And he was fun to mess with. Breaking watches, dismantling cell phones and clogging the toilet with his ties.

He was a little disappointed when they moved out two months later. But even in the building that he was confined in, there was always some scum somewhere.

Like the father touching his daughter. He dropped a cast iron pan on his head. Twice. The drug dealer trying to recruit kids. During one of their basement dog fights he unchained one of the dogs, and they had made the mistake of not socializing it properly. He started fires, dropped things, destroyed things, drove people out again and again and usually with lasting injuries.

It had been years, he was sure. And he had the anger to possibly last him an eternity, especially if the assholes living her could keep it up.

He was floating in the halls, making his rounds, when he heard people talking. He recognized one voice as the landlady, a kind woman who spoke very little English, and a voice he didn't recognized. He remembered the little lady telling her granddaughter someone was moving it.

Matt headed towards the voices, wanting to evaluate the new tennant to make sure he wouldn't need to be driven out before he even moved in.

Sight was an odd thing as a ghost. Maybe it was because Matt was blind in life, but he couldn't not see as he remembered sight as a child. Or even the world of flames Stick had carved out for him. It was more like smoke. Smoke that swirled and churned, crisp and clear but also oddly inaccurate. And there were colors, shifting and swirling, intensifying and fading. It came in waves, like the ocean.

The land lady had always been warm shades of pink, kind and soft. People like Vanessa and Wesley... They were greys and blood reds.

This man, "senior Foggy" as the woman called her, he was yellow. Bright and intense, never fading. He was like the sun and Matt was taken aback.

He was moving into Matt's old appartment. Matt was most protective of that one, of course. It still held a sense of 'home' for him. But he didn't think he minded this Foggy too much.

Chapter 3!!!

I have written you a fill where Foggy gets a migraine and Matt is an awesome caretaker. :-)

OP here.

I think that's a Foggy or Claire quote for some reason, not sure why. Maybe because those two are being dragged into things all the time...

In my head I was just replacing characters with contestants, but Elena as Mary Berry and Father Lantom as Paul sounds awesome. I can't think of anything specifically, it was a fairly vague idea in my head to be honest.

I have written you a fill where Foggy gets a migraine and Matt is an awesome caretaker. :-)

(I'm expecting maybe two more updates out of this?)

The reunion is a little easier to deal with after that. Foggy mostly sticks to talking to people who weren't friends with him but also who weren't complete dicks, and Matt is polite and very rarely stops touching him, and Meg texts every once in a while, increasingly tipsy, to update him on the Joe situation (Foggy is about ninety percent certain Joe is not actually here, which he will be grateful about forever). Foggy is even willing to say that it's not in his top ten bad nights, though Matt's extra-professional activities kind of skew that.

Foggy should really know better than to jinx himself.

Matt excuses himself to the bathroom when Foggy is just starting to get tired, and Foggy lurks around the door because Matt could find him again in the crowd, but he would look like an asshole making his blind friend chase him around and he would probably be an asshole, supersenses notwithstanding.

Of course, that means he's standing outside the bathroom door like a creep when Conrad Whittier comes out, looking a beer or two for the worse. Foggy isn't ashamed to say that he backs up against the wall, hoping to avoid anything, but Conrad always had the really unpleasant ability to tell when Foggy didn't want to deal with him, and he looks over and then starts grinning. It's not a nice grin.

“Oh my God, Frank!”

There's a reason he didn't switch over to Frank when he went to college and people he hadn't known his whole life started giving him weird looks when he introduced himself. “Wow. Conrad. Hi.”

“Hanging out like it's the old locker room?” Conrad's suit is disgustingly nice. Foggy hates him. “Should have known.”

“Waiting for my guest, actually. I spent as little time as humanly possible in the locker room.”

Conrad laughs. It's not a nice laugh, either. “Yeah, you were never sporty. What are you up to?” He gives Foggy a look like it can't be anything very impressive and Foggy reminds himself that he got worse at Landman and Zack every day. Conrad just presses his buttons because Foggy has been feeling fifteen years old all night. “I'm CFO at a software development company, you might have heard of us.”

Foggy is a lawyer. He knows that kind of verbal trap. If he has heard of them, Conrad is important. If he hasn't, Foggy is ignorant. He opts for option number three. “A CFO? Good for you. I'm a partner at my law firm. We're a start-up, small but mighty. In the spirit of the neighborhood.” He hopes Matt hears that. “I was corporate for a while, but it seemed pretty soulless.”

Conrad Whittier does not have a soul, probably. He just laughs it off. “Start-ups, huh? Good luck with that. Hard to keep a business going in the city, much less a law firm. Hard to imagine you as a lawyer, too.”

“You don't have a very good imagination,” says Matt from the bathroom door, and there's the dangerous smile again. Foggy actually appreciates it this time. “Foggy is the best lawyer I know. I wouldn't have gone into business with him otherwise.”

The incredulity is really unflattering, and Foggy realizes too late that Conrad is going to be an asshole about the blind thing. “Well, you wouldn't know if there was better around, probably.”

Matt laughs. Foggy is pretty sure that's what people hear just before the sound of all of their ribs snapping. “I listen.”

“Guess you lucked out,” Conrad tells Foggy.

“No, that would be me.” There's some looming going on. Foggy is going to be really surprised if this conversation manages to finish without someone getting punched. Probably Conrad. “Anyone would be lucky to hire him, and Landman and Zack was certainly sorry to lose him.”

Conrad rolls his eyes at Foggy. “Yeah, I get it, your boyfriend is impressed with you. You really lucked out.”

“Didn't I?” says Foggy, because there's only so much arguing he can do outside of a courtroom before he gets sick of it. “It's almost like I worked really hard and surrounded myself with people who weren't assholes and somehow it means that I'm professionally and personally fulfilled. Did you bring a guest? I'd love to meet whatever poor woman married you.”

Conrad laughs, but he seems way less happy about it this time. Matt's smile looks less mild and more vindictive, which is either a good sign or a worrying one. “Can't tie me down.”

“Divorced? Sucks, man, I hear that's rough.” Foggy shifts over until he can get in arm's reach of Matt, and isn't totally surprised this time when Matt's hand lands on his back instead of his arm. “Good for her, though, I hope husband number two is significantly better.”

There's honest-to-God sputtering at that. Foggy has never been so proud. “What the fuck would you know?” he finally manages. “You aren't married.”

“No, not yet,” says Matt, and slides his hand up until he has a firm grip on Foggy's shoulder. “But he's an amazing partner, and an amazing person. Foggy, let's go find Meg.”

Conrad scoffs. It is definitely a scoff. “Congrats on finding the only blind idiot who could stand you, Frank.”

Matt drops his cane, and Foggy elbows him before he can do anything drastic that is going to get them sued for assault. “You are really sad,” says Foggy, because it seems to sum up this conversation. “You're stuck in high school and you really want to pretend a software job and a great suit are more important than whatever I'm doing, which you probably would have done if I were a senator, by the way. So, thanks for proving how pathetic you are, I guess? Now I'm going to find my cousin so Matt doesn't punch you in the face. Not that I care about your face, but I care about Matt.”

“Come on,” says Matt, all his attention on Foggy again instead of on beating people up.

Foggy picks up Matt's cane, because Matt really does not need to be groping around on the floor making Foggy look like a bad date, and when he straightens up Matt is glaring in Conrad's direction and Conrad is edging slowly away. Foggy can't blame him. Even with the sunglasses Matt's glare is really impressive. Also, he wouldn't put it past Matt to have mouthed something threatening. “Let's go,” he says, because at this point he doesn't care.

Matt is the one who steers him away, and Foggy takes a deep breath and reminds himself that he just spent less than five minutes of his life on that and that at least he has the comfort of knowing that Conrad Whittier is just as shitty a person as he always thought. “Are you okay?” Matt asks when they're fighting their way across the crowd again.

“Yeah. Worst of it's over with. And I'm not planning on staying too much longer anyway.”

Matt stops walking right there, and ignores the guy behind them who swears at him. “Are you ready to leave?”

Foggy opens his mouth to say no, they should stay another half hour, chat with Meg and Jeff and Beth, find at least one more friendly classmate to get the bad taste of the chat with Conrad out of their minds. He's tired, though, and Matt looks tired too, now that he's not getting ready to defend Foggy's honor. “Yeah. Yeah, Matt, let's go. I'll text Meg, if she complains tomorrow I'll just offer to pay for breakfast.”

“Meals are mine.”

“Okay, then you'll offer to pay for breakfast. Let's go find the weirdest possible thing to watch on cable until we fall asleep.”

“That sounds wonderful.” There's Matt's real smile. It's only taken most of the night to get there. “Let's go, then.”

Foggy has, after years of knowing Matt, just about worked out the strategy to walk and guide and text at the same time, and it's easier with Matt's hand on his back instead of tucked into his elbow. He missed a text from Meg telling him that she thinks Beth is being invited for a threesome with Graham Morton and his plus one, and he texts her back telling her to cheer Beth on for him and that he and Matt are leaving fashionably early.

They're quiet on the way to the elevator—they kind of have to be, considering the noise of the crowd—and Foggy sighs in relief and rolls his shoulders when they actually manage to snag the elevator without anyone else on it. He doesn't realize Matt thinks he might be dislodging him on purpose until Matt's hand drops and he moves a step away. “Thanks,” he says while the elevator dings and starts moving.

“You don't need to thank me.” Matt frowns. “I don't think I helped you win the reunion. I should have encouraged you to bring Karen instead.”

“No way. I definitely won the reunion.” Foggy turns to Matt, grins. Hopefully he can manage to get a smile out of Matt before the elevator stops, even if it's a short trip. “I've got you, don't I?”

He doesn't get a smile. Instead, right as the elevator stops and dings again, Matt searches out Foggy's face with his fingers and kisses him.

OP

AAAH. Still amazing.

The incredulity is really unflattering, and Foggy realizes too late that Conrad is going to be an asshole about the blind thing.

I literally said "oh no" out loud. Good thing Foggy and Matt put Conrad in his place. Boo that guy.

Instead, right as the elevator stops and dings again, Matt searches out Foggy's face with his fingers and kisses him.

*cheers*

Flailing. Flailing so hard

AAAAAAAAND WE'VE GOT CONTACT

*cheers and hollers and SHRIEKS in the privacy of my mind*

"Compensating for something?"
"Why don't you compare, Choirboy?"

XD You just killed me, anon.

I literally just said "YAY!" aloud, ahaha.

Aaaah no cruel place to stop. Love this so much.

I'm slow as hell but this is on the way, I promise!
