Exactly what it says. Matt gets adopted by a loving family who help him deal with/heal from all the recent emotional trauma in his young life. I'd prefer this be after Stick leaves, so Matt does get a handle on his super-senses. So Matt would be around 11? 12?
Who adopts him? I dunno. For ultimate happiness AU, perhaps it's Foggy's family somehow (maybe in this AU they're not as poor as the show implies), so the two of them grow up together. Maybe it's an unrelated family but Matt and Foggy meet at school. Maybe Matt actually makes OTHER FRIENDS growing up in a more supportive environment. Maybe he has awesome adopted siblings.
I'd be especially interested to see how/if Matt gets into crimefighting in this AU. I feel like he'd still feel the pull to use his abilities somehow. But less fueled by all his bitter emotional baggage.
