Warnings are nice, but not mandatory. Get DW Blocker if there's anything you really don't want to see.

Reposted prompts are allowed once one round has passed - i.e., prompts from post #2 cannot be reposted until post #4. Please include a link to where it has been previously posted.

Put [FILL] or something similar in the subject line when posting a fill.

Announce your fill on either the Completed Fills Post or the WIP Post.

Long fills can either be posted over multiple comments, or posted on AO3 and linked back here.

Multiple fills are always okay.

Fills can be anything! Fic, art, vids are all welcome.

If it wasn't written specifically for the prompt, it doesn't count as a fill. You are welcome to provide a link to already existing fic that does fit the prompt, in case the prompter hasn't seen it, but it doesn't count as a fill.

After taking pictures with a group of tourists – Canadian, Foggy believes – Foggy circles through the park. It’s a fairly easy path to navigate, the whole place shaped into a horseshoe, and the last ride that’s available is called Hug-a-Fog with pink and red hearts flashing at the entrance.

Foggy stands and stares at the animatronic Foggys leaning in, hugging each other, then leaning back to stand up fully. He watches the loop a couple times before the arrival of carts at the entrance of the ride pull up. In one of them sits Matt.

“Foggy?” Matt asks and turns his head to face Foggy.

Foggy is extremely glad Matt cannot see his face (or at least he hopes to God that Matt can’t but they’re in his freaking brain so he probably can) because he’s pretty sure it’s contorted in horror as Matt’s face melts. Well, not melts, per say. It’s still intact; no bits are dripping onto the ground as Matt scrambles out of the ride and start towards Foggy.

Matt’s face is hard to look at – it’s blurry and switching from a young child’s face to that of something Foggy assumes is what Matt thinks he looks like now.

“Matt?” Foggy finally manages, dragging his eyes to Matt’s shoulder to avoid looking at the constantly changing features.

“Are you real?” Matt breathes as he finally gets within arm’s length of Foggy.

“Yes,” Foggy says, nodding and Matt is just staring. He’s wearing his sunglasses but Foggy feels like this is a real Matt Murdock stare not an unfocused one. “Can you see me?”

“Yes,” Matt echoes, a hand reaching out but only grasping onto air as he stops himself from actually touching Foggy’s face.

“We’re in your brain.”

“I know,” Matt replies, still a bit awestruck and staring uncomfortably at Foggy.

“Okay, buddy,” Foggy tries. “We need to go back, now.”

Matt’s stare snaps and he shakes his head.

“No.”

“No?”

Matt tears his eyes away from Foggy and stalks back towards the Hug-a-Fog ride.

“Hey now,” Foggy calls, making long strides to catch up to him. “What’s going on?”

“I can’t go back,” Matt says, very cryptically, and climbs back into the ride. Foggy has just enough time to scooch in beside him before the cart is jerking to a start and heading into a dark tunnel.

“You can’t stay in your brain forever.”

Matt doesn’t respond and Foggy isn’t sure if that’s because he doesn’t want to or because he’s attacked by images of Foggy from every single direction. They’re all animatronic and all creepily singing some song about hugs. Foggy doesn’t listen to the words – he doesn’t want it stuck in his head.

“Matt,” Foggy tries again but is shushed by Matt.

“I’m listening to the hug song.”

Foggy stares at Matt – melting faces be damned, it’s better than watching robot versions of himself dancing.

“This is really creepy, Matt,” Foggy whispers. Matt sighs and turns to Foggy’s face.

“I know. But-“ Matt worries at his bottom lip with his top teeth. “I don’t want to go back.”

“Why?” Foggy pleads.

“It hurts too much.”

Foggy gives Matt a smile and this time Matt doesn’t restrain his hand from touching Foggy’s face. His fingers poke lightly at Foggy’s lips and then Matt gives a huge grin of his own.

“Dr. Banner is fixing you up – there will be no more pain, I promise.”

Matt’s face falls and he pulls his hand away as if it were burned. His face turns back to the robot Foggy’s. There’s one with a banjo, even.

“There will always be pain, Foggy,” Matt says.

“What do you mean?” Foggy reaches for Matt’s hand and squeezes it gently.

“Everybody leaves, Foggy.” Matt turns back to Foggy, tears silently slipping out from under his glasses. “You’re going to leave.”

The scene from the beach, which seems so long ago now, rushes back to Foggy. He pulls Matt in for a soul crushing hug.

“I’m not going to leave, Matt,” Foggy whispers, one hand petting at the back of Matt’s head. “I promise.”

Matt openly sobs into Foggy’s shoulder.

Foggy’s hugs can save the world
from you young citizen to that girl
Foggy’s hugs can save the world
so why don’t you go for a whirl

Foggy laughs at the words to the song blaring from speakers and it’s the last thing he hears as the world starts to go dark.

“Mr. Nelson?” Dr. Banner asks, flicking a light into Foggy’s eyes. Foggy blinks, a bit irritated at the brightness of it. He didn’t realize how muted in colors Matt’s brain had been until that moment.

“I’m awake,” Foggy groans, trying to reach up to rub at his face but stops as the pinch of the IV in his arm restricts his movement. “How’s Matt?”

“Matt is awake and doing very well,” Dr. Banner says kindly. Foggy suspects he’s a nice man, over all, just loses his bedside manner in stressful situations.

“Good. Can I see him?”

Dr. Banner points to Foggy’s right. He turns his head to look through the glass wall at Matt who has his head turned to Foggy.

“Hey buddy,” Foggy whispers and a smile breaks across Matt’s face.

“Thanks, Foggy,” Matt replies before more people cram into the small rooms to run more tests on the both of them.

awwww <3

I remember that scene on the beach from the comics and damn if it didn't hurt as much reading it again.

Foggy world was terrifying. Kudos to Foggy for not hightailing it out of there immediately.

That scene was the first thing I thought of when I read the prompt - I couldn't not!

And yeah, all of that stuff is my imagination combining It's A Small World ride and Lester's Possum from A Goofy Movie together. I would be running, too.

Thanks for reading! :D

OH GOD THE WATER SCENE OF FOGGY GOING INTO THE WATER, I'd actually managed to forget that heartwrenching scene, DAMMIT.

THE CARNIVAL BOOTH FULL OF TOY FOGGYS, OH MY GOD. Matt you OBSESSIVE CREEPER, I adore you.

ROLLERFOGSTER

HUG-A-FOG RIDE. WHY IS IT SO CREEPY.

MATT SEEING FOGGY

Oh lord the song about Foggy's hugs fucking hell goodbye heart

A!A

Haha XD I'm glad you seemed to enjoy it despite it's creepiness (which is really what I was going for so yay me!)

I legit teared up. ;_; NEVER LEAVE HIM, FOGGY.
