Foggy&Matt or Foggy/Matt, OC, harassment, attempted noncon

(Anonymous) 2015-09-04 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Foggy starts seeing this new guy that he's really into, and Matt tries to be supportive. The problem is, every time Foggy is out of the room this guy is ALL OVER Matt. It's not exactly the first time someone has started dating Foggy only to want to get with his hot friend, and Matt is reluctant to say anything - maybe they're not exclusive so Matt has no moral qualms about telling Foggy his bf is cheating on him, maybe Matt just has trouble identifying shitty behaviour when it's aimed towards himself, maybe he's worried Foggy won't believe him. But this guy won't take no for an answer and starts getting more and more aggressive. He's making comments and escalating to touching and, well, Matt can't exactly punch Foggy's boyfriend in the face, can he?

And then Foggy walks in on them in a very compromising position.

OOOOOOH. I want this!

Oh man. But would Foggy think it was consensual at first and then be like "Dude! Stealing my boyfriend is like, so uncool. I thought we were supposed to be wingmen!" and then Matt is like "I'm so sorry, Foggy, I didn't mean to..." and the boyfriend is like "He was begging for it, how was I supposed to resist that?" And then Matt's not even sure if maybe it really IS his fault, after all...

Re: Foggy&Matt or Foggy/Matt, OC, harassment, attempted noncon

(Anonymous) 2015-09-04 04:08 am (UTC)(link)
honestly I'm so down for any variation of this one (um. for a given value of a happy ending, that is?).

The one where Foggy walks in on this guy on top of Matt and yells "what the fuck", and Matt is horrified and embarrassed and frantically apologetic... only to realize that Foggy isn't yelling at him, he's bodily throwing his boyfriend out of the apartment and asking if Matt's all right, and Matt is just... ????? Aren't you mad at me? At which point Foggy is like, nooooo I'm so sorry, please can I hug you until you feel better, this is not your fault, obviously I'm on your side here, there are no sides, there's creepy rapey dude and you, my hurt best friend, that's not really a contest.

(because Matt totally would think it was his fault? I mean, he's Daredevil, obviously he could've just made this guy stop if he ~really~ wanted him to...)

AND the version where Foggy walks in on them and totally thinks Matt is/has been hooking up with his boyfriend behind his back and is INCREDIBLY PISSED, until at some point Matt says something that sets off a major red flag ("I'm sorry, I know, I tried to get him off of me..."), or the boyfriend says something like "yeah he's totally been asking for it" and Foggy is like, wait, no. And then... is also upset and sorry and wants to hug Matt until he feels better, actually.

(Anonymous) 2015-09-04 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
What about the variation where Matt is trying to keep the guy off him when he hears Foggy's frantic heartbeat outside the door.
Thank god, Other Guy will stop and he can apologize in the morning and- and- and-

And Foggy turns and leaves, unnoticed by Other Guy. Other Guy uses Matt's distraction to pin his arms, get an arm across his throat. It's quick, barely even makes the bed shake. Other Guy is already doing up his pants and telling him he was great before Foggy has even left the dorms.

When foggy stumbles back in, drunk and angry, Matt is sitting in the remains of the trashed room. When foggy calls him a homewrecker, he laughs even as the tears slick down his face

Re: Foggy&Matt or Foggy/Matt, OC, harassment, attempted noncon

(Anonymous) 2015-09-04 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...yes. also this one. Absolutely.

And where Matt doesn't actually say anything at all when Foggy's yelling at him, just sits there and takes his licks. And if this is present day Foggy cold-shoulders him for days - best friend sleeping with your boyfriend, that's grounds for a divorce right there - and Foggy is too mad to see Matt ghosting away (Matt is trying to keep it together, there's a voice in his head that sounds like Stick's telling him to stop being such a pussy, this is nothing, but...)

But maybe someone else does. Karen? She asks what happened and when Matt admits Foggy caught him with his boyfriend is horrified, and is more horrified as she figures out it wasn't consensual. (But what difference does it make, Matt says, I still screwed up...) Or Claire asks where Matt got a new bruise and he casually says "Foggy's boyfriend", and this is the kind of thing Daredevil stops, sure, but Daredevil stops that from happening to good people, and Matt? Well, Matt is different. He didn't try hard enough, he could've fought him off and since he didn't, maybe he really did want it, Matt has always known there was something wrong with him that means maybe he deserves this, brought this on himself... and Foggy's the best person he knows, if he isn't on his side... And someone else gives Foggy a clue, eventually.

Or if it's college, maybe it's not until Foggy's drinking his sorrows in a bar that he overhears a familiar voice talking about his best lays and "Murdock? Sure, you just gotta make him realize how much he wants it..." And after he decks his ex realizes: oh, shit.

I'm all for Claire storming the Nelson&Murdock office to rain wrath on Foggy, because WHAT THE HELL, FOGGY, I'VE MET YOU ONCE AND YOU SEEMED DECENT, BUT THIS IS JUST SICK.

yessssssssss I am so down for Claire being protective of Matt (up to and including Claire going on some sort of Kill Bill roaring rampage of revenge after all these hurt!Matt prompts, because even if he doesn't think he's worth defending, goddammit, she is going to, and she is ready to stab someone in the face to do it, but I DIGRESS). Claire realizing halfway through telling him off that Foggy legitimately had no idea it wasn't consensual, and he looks absolutely devastated, and she... is still pissed, actually. He walked out in the middle of his friend's assault and then yelled at him about it, Matt might not blame him at all, but she does not forgive and forget so easily. Also Claire/Matt h/c? I am so here for it.

Re: Foggy&Matt or Foggy/Matt, OC, harassment, attempted noncon

(Anonymous) 2015-09-06 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
I am also here for Claire the Vengeful friend protector

Foggy feels bad, Matt feels bad; neither of them will want to talk about it bc what the fuck do you even say in that scenario (hallmark doesn't make 'sorry I missed the chance to stop my boyfriend raping you, then yelled at you like it was your fault' cards)

The reconciliation would be long and painful and awkward but damn do I want to see it

Fill: Long Past Due 1/?

(Anonymous) 2015-09-25 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
I live! And also I return from trip. I...kind of smushed different parts of the prompt together, hope that's cool.

Matt heard a second set of footprints, another heartbeat, behind Foggy even before the dorm door swung open. "Oh! Sorry Matt, didn't think you'd be here." Matt pulled out an earbud and swiveled around on the bed to face the door.

"Class was canceled," Matt said. "Teacher never showed."

"Oh awesome. Actually, this is great! Jared's with me. I've been meaning to introduce you guys. Jared?" The second heartbeat stepped further into the room, next to Foggy. "This is Matt, my friend and roomie --I said that with an totally awesome flourish Matt- and Matt, this is Jared."

Matt stood up and walked forward a step or two, holding out his hand. "Nice to meet you," he said with a smile. "Foggy's been singing your praises all week."

A warm laugh, and then a warm hand clasping his own to shake. "I could sing them right back," Jared said. "Good to finally meet the infamous Matt." Deep voice, nice, smooth. Heartbeat a little fast, arousal fast, but--he'd been talking about Foggy.

Also, presumably they'd come here to have sex. Probably he should make a polite and strategic retreat.

"Infamous?" Matt raised an eyebrow.

"Like you're not," Foggy said.

Matt shrugged. "Did you want the room? I was just about to head to the library anyway." He hadn't been, had just gotten comfortable with his notes spread out, but.

Foggy snorted. "You totally were not. Lemme just grab a couple things. That okay with you Jared?"

"Fine," Jared said. "I can get all the inside info about you from Matt. All the favorites, everything."

"I can do that," Matt said, grinning. He liked that Jared liked Foggy. Everyone should like Foggy. "Should I start with food, or activities?"

"Food sounds good," Jared said, sitting down next to Matt. Kind of close, their legs touching, but Jared didn't seem to think that was weird. Probably he was just touchy-feely, like Foggy was. "

---

"I'm sorry about Jared," Matt blurted out. It was late Friday evening, and Foggy was over at Matt's apartment. They were both at the kitchen counter pouring over old files for a case ("a paying client, Matt!"), planning to work late into the night since at least they'd be able to sleep in tomorrow. Matt had already set a folded pile of his own sheets next to the couch, for when he inevitably forced Foggy to take the bed.

Foggy jerked up. "I'm quirking my brow at you," he said. "Quirking so hard. Jared? What the hell?"

Matt swallowed. "In college--" Foggy waved a hand.

"No, no, yeah. I mean. Matt. I know you're sorry. You said you were sorry. He was into you, you went for it, I didn't talk to you for like a week, it's over. Way over. Like years over." His heartbeat was just a little fast, but not lie fast. More just confused. He didn't know why Matt was bringing up Jared now. "Where did that even come from?"

Matt shrugged one shoulder. "I just--we agreed no more lies. About--what I can do. And I was thinking about him." He loathed to admit it, but he thought about Jared a lot. "So I wanted to say that I'm sorry again, now that you know."

"What the--now that I know what?"

"About me," Matt said, waving a hand at himself.

"Okay--what--" Foggy moved his hands around, trying to formulate a reply to that. Eventually he settled on sighing and, "Matt, what do your weird super ninja powers have to do with Jared cheating on me with you? Like at all. Because color me confused, buddy."

Matt wet his lips. He'd been thinking about this a lot recently--

("No more lies, Matt. Not about this. I can't--I'd leave. I'd have to."

"I won't, I promise, please, I promise, ask me anything--")

--and all lies about the devil, had to be confessed.

"I'm sorry because I could've stopped him. I--you know I could've. But I didn't. I didn't, even though I could've, and I'm sorry."

---

"Matt? Hey!"

Matt fumbled with his book, turning his head towards the voice. He focused, picking out Jared's smell combination of detergent and skin lotion.

"Oh, hi Jared?"

"Mind if I sit?" Jared asked. Matt shook his head, and shortly felt Jared plop down right next to him on the bench. "Great day, right? You just out enjoying?"

"Yep," Matt said. "Just reading a book." he waved to it open on his lap.

"Oh yeah? Which one?" Before Matt could answer, Jared had put a hand on his shoulder and was leaning into and over him, a warm press against Matt's entire side. "Oh. Wow, okay, braille, yeah, I should've figured." He leaned back a little, no longer trying to read over Matt's shoulder, but otherwise stayed where he was. Matt shifted, not sure what to do. Was this normal? It had to be--Foggy did it, once in a while, some of the girls he studied with. But the latter usually--

Oh.

No, no it was pretty clear that Jared was into Foggy. Matt was just--wrong. He misinterpreted things all the time. This was just like that.

"Could I feel it?" Jared asked. "The only braille I've ever seen was the stuff on like, elevators." He--sounded genuinely interested. Yeah, Matt was just wrong.

"Sure," Matt said. He was about to hand over the book when Jared curled an arm around Matt's shoulder to scoot in even closer, the other arm dropping down to the pages spread out in Matt's lap. Matt swallowed, uncomfortable, but Jared seemed oblivious.

"This is really cool," Jared said, voice much closer, Matt could feel his breath as he exhaled, smell the mocha latte with a dash of caramel, but an undertone of spoiled milk. He swallowed again, blinking hard. No, that--didn't make sense. He tried to reign in his senses and almost missed Jared's, "What book is it?"

"Um, it's--" Jared's arm was gently squeezing Matt's shoulder, and it felt like it could be friendly, but Matt wasn't sure if he wanted it there. "It's The Handmaid's Tale. I'm writing a paper on the politics within the story and the ways they could and couldn't be exploited to potentially heal the society."

"That's awesome!" Jared said, giving Matt's shoulder another squeeze. Just friendly. And right, Jared was an English major, it made sense that he'd get excited about books. This was normal and it was fine. "What've you got so far? If I'm not bothering you."

There was no polite way to ask Jared to please stop--being himself, probably. And Foggy liked him. And he liked Foggy. And he was a nice guy, Matt just wasn't used to him without Foggy as a buffer. That's all. He managed a weak smile. "Well uh, my main point is that ruling an entire and vital branch of a population by fear is never going to end well--"

Jared really got into the discussion, and Matt actually found himself enjoying it.

He still breathed a sigh of relief when Jared said his goodbyes and slid off of the bench.

Eee, this is fantastic. Jared is such a creeper, but he's that kind who's subtle enough to make you doubt your own instincts. Poor Matt. Can't wait to see Foggy's reaction once everything is explained.

Re: Fill: Long Past Due 1/?

(Anonymous) 2015-09-25 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh GODS. The fact that we know the outcome - Foggy didn't speak to Matt for a week, but they got over it, and this kind of takes place post-Season 1 - only makes me more interested. It's like watching a feels trainwreck while knowing it'll only get WORSE. Because it WILL. Not only has Matt suffered a trauma and then had his best friend be angry at him, he also suffered through his best friend kindly 'forgiving' him and now Foggy knows the truth? SHIT.

I hope Foggy decides to hunt Jared down in whatever hole he's been in since Columbia and murder him.

Re: Fill: Long Past Due 1/?

(Anonymous) 2015-09-25 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
OP: Ahhhh my god, this is fantastically well-written, first-off. Your dialogue flows so well and I love all the little details about Matt's senses. And Jared is an incredibly well-formed creep. He's insidious, but Matt's discomfort and doubts about him - his rationalization that he's probably just misinterpreting things, Jared's a good guy, he doesn't want to make a scene - is devastatingly realistic. And the fact that all this happened in college, and Matt has literally been living with it for years - the trauma of his assault and his misplaced guilt and Foggy blaming him and having absolutely no support - is just killing me. "He thought about Jared a lot." Ohhhhhhh, Matt. Breaking my heart. And Matt's whole thing about not wanting to lie and his issues about the devil? Oh man. I can't wait to see the fall-out of Foggy parsing what "I could've stopped him" really means and how he reacts and what happens next. Anyway this is excellent! Thank you for writing it.

Fill: Long Past Due 2/2

(Anonymous) 2015-09-25 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Foggy let out a nervous laugh. "Matt, it--look, it's fine, buddy, okay? It was a long time ago."

"I still should have done something," Matt said. Trying to make Foggy understand. "But you liked him so much and he did like you, I could tell, and I didn't want to fight him off, but I could've--I could've--" he could feel his heart picking up, or was it Foggy's and Matt was just hearing it? Something was pounding in his ears.

"Matt, hold on, fight? Fight him off?"

"I knew what he smelled like, he had that lotion he liked to use, I could've done a better job avoiding him," it was getting harder to breathe, why was it getting harder to breathe, this wasn't new "or--not letting him touch me, but it made you so happy when we all hung out together and then I let him--and I ruined it. I could've done so much and I didn't--and I promised I wouldn't lie to you." Understand, understand, understand, don't leave, it was hard enough the first time--

---

"Foggy's a real good guy," Jared said. He'd just become an uncle, so they were all celebrating. Matt and Jared were both sitting on Foggy's bed, a Foggy-sized space in between them. Said Foggy was out acquiring beer. More beer, beer on top of the beer he and Jared (and Matt, but just a little; he was exiling himself once the drinking was over and had to be able to walk straight) had already drank. He'd insisted on going alone because "you guys can't know all my secrets."

"He is," Matt said belatedly, rolling his half-full beer bottle around in his hands. He was the best friend Matt had ever had. He was glad Foggy had found someone nice. Jared was nice. Foggy waxed poetic enough about him.

Even if sometimes...

"He's sweet and fun," Jared said, still on the Foggy tangent. Matt contemplated trying to set his phone to record this. Foggy would find it wonderful. "He shares his stuff with me too." Also true. Jared was wearing one of Foggy's shirts right now. Matt could tell because it hung on him differently, fabric catching and pulling when a shirt was too big, and smelled of Matt's detergent. (Matt had made him switch, claiming allergies to Foggy's generic. Foggy shrugged and said he didn't mind if Matt wanted to share.)

Matt was halfway into convincing himself to move off the bed so he could grab a phone and start recording when Jared moved closer, stuck out a hand to pat Matt on the knee. "I'm patting you on the knee," he said, leaning forward. Matt felt his stomach clench and didn't know why. Too much beer. But he hadn't had all that much.

"I can feel that," he pointed out. "You just have to tell me about things I can't see. Like Foggy does."

"Like Foggy does," Jared parroted. "Got it." He was... pretty close. And also--but Jared was thinking about Foggy, so that reaction made sense, right?

Foggy who was going to be right back anyway, so it was fine.

"It's okay," Jared said. What was? Matt swallowed and tried to subtly move away. This didn't feel right. "He shares his stuff with me, so he won't mind."

Matt felt himself go cold in one icy rush at the same time he felt warm hands close around his wrists.

---

There was a smacking sound, followed by the flutter of pages. Foggy had knocked one of the files off the table in his leap to his feet. "He--no, no, wait, Matt, you never. You never said anything."

Matt shrugged again. Maybe--maybe he shouldn't have brought it up. It'd been a long time ago. But he'd promised. No more lies. He'd promised. And it was one of the few he could actually keep. "I'm sorry," he said again. "I really am. I--you have no idea how much, Foggy, when I think about how I could have stopped him if I hadn't had to--pretend, maybe he wouldn't have--I never wanted to hurt you. I never want to hurt you."

"Please stop." Foggy sounded devastated. Matt shrank back. "No, Matt, I didn't mean--I just--

---

Matt was sitting at his desk, listlessly running his fingers over a textbook. He hadn't read a word in hours. But he didn't want to move, and Foggy was still gone, and he was trying to at least do something with himself while he waited. The room stank and he was suffocating in it, but he needed to wait until Foggy got back. Maybe--maybe Matt could fix it.

When he heard the familiar heartbeat approaching, elevated and coming in fast, Matt coiled like a spring.

The door opened deliberately. Foggy quietly stepped in and closed it behind him.

Matt opened his mouth but nothing came out.

"I broke up with Jared," Foggy said. His voice was hard and even. "He doesn't even know why. Said I just thought we were looking for different things. Figured there was no point making a big deal of it."

Matt's stomach clenched. No, no, no, no.

"I'm sorry," he said, voice small. He didn't know what else to say.

"Yeah, you fucking should be," Foggy said. "I'm crossing my arms and glaring daggers at you, by the way. What the--what the actual fuck, Matt? It's bad enough half the campus is after you, you have to seduce my fucking boyfriend the moment my back was turned? In our dorm room? You couldn't've at least been fucking subtle about it?"

---

"Oh my god," Foggy said, sounding...horrified? "Oh my fucking god."

"Language," Matt corrected weakly. Trying for something normal.

"Oh my fucking God, Matt. I can't--He--and I--" his voice was getting wet, choked up. Crying. Was Foggy crying? Matt shot out of his seat, and then didn't know what to do, hovering awkwardly next to him.

"Foggy? Foggy, I'm sorry, but I needed to tell you. I know I should've done something, I'm so sorry, please--"

"Oh my fucking God."

---

Matt's heart picked up as he made his way over to his room. He could hear a familiar heartbeat inside. Not even angry-elevated. Wet palms. Nerves?

He took a deep breath and unlocked the door, closing it behind him and setting his cane down.

"Hey, Matt," Foggy's voice came, from his side of the room. Matt startled for show, and swallowed for real.

"Hi Foggy. How-how've you been?"

"Could've been better," Foggy said. "I just shrugged. Look..." he sighed. Matt braced himself for the news; Foggy hated him, he was moving out, he never wanted to see Matt again "I miss you, okay?"

What?

Foggy shifted, cotton jeans rubbing against the comforter. "Yeah, okay, you hurt me big time. Still gonna take a while for me to get over that completely. But I'm working on it. You were both drunk, inhibitions whatever--" He pushed some hair off of his face, the movement accented an unfamiliar shampoo. Foggy let out a deep breath. "Look. I forgive you, okay? It's college. You're allowed one or two really dumb decisions. And considering how clean your slate's been, I can...work on getting over it. You're my best friend, you know? Bros before hos and whatever. So. Friends?"

Matt managed a shaky smile. "Friends."

Oh my god, this is so good. It's amazing how much story you've packed into this and how much you convey without even detailing what exactly happened with Jared. I got chills, probably right about the time the penny dropped for Foggy.

Any chance of a coda? I'd love to see the fallout with Foggy and Matt. Maybe a little comfort to go with the hurt? (Not trying to be demanding or anything!)

Author!anon: Thank you so much. I'm glad everything got across, especially with the length.

I have been considering maybe a wrap-up? I was planning to clean it up and post it to Ao3 eventually, so probably then... Tbh, I was struggling a bit with the fill, because it was either stop there or go on for a lot longer. That would have been nice and I had ideas! ...but I was worried about my ability to stick with it to the end.

OP: Oh, man. This is brilliantly heart-wrenching. I love Matt's POV, here - his confusion not just at Foggy's reactions but his own distress is so well-done. Matt wanting to comfort Foggy in this situation is also heart-breaking. And Matt's internal dialogue throughout - "Matt's stomach clenched. No, no, no, no." - is great. And I love how you use the switching timeline and the cutaways to tell so much with just a few words, like all the implied horror in ""He shares his stuff with me, so he won't mind."" Gah. And ah, Foggy, whyyyyyyy. His dialogue in the flashbacks is brutal ("seduce my boyfriend" "subtle" "bros before hos" gahhhhhhhh). So yes, it's excellent throughout. And yes, absolutely no pressure, but if you wanted to do a coda or epilogue or something with Foggy's POV or something with a little more comfort to the hurt I wouldn't object. But either way, thanks again!

As said above, I am thinking about a mini-cont of some sort, so that will prrrobably happen. Just gotta figure out how it'll go. I like the idea about a Foggy POV!

Cleaned up version is now on ao3 here: archiveofourown.org/works/4887391 so if I do write another piece to this, that's where it'll be.
