an au where matt starts working for fisk with the intention of bringing him down from the inside; however, matt gains fisk's trust and friendship, which makes him feel like a traitor, despite never being loyal in the first place. matt still disagrees with what fisk is doing and is still working against him, but he has grown to care for him as well. fisk is soft-spoken and awkward and cares more than matt imagined. (he can also break a man's spine effortlessly which is. not hot. at all. matt needs jesus).

and then vanessa walks in. vanessa, goddess on earth, gorgeous and clever and passionate; she makes everything even worse, even harder, for matt.

things i'd like:
-matt being there at vanessa and fisk's date(s) as "extra protection"; vanessa offers him some wine and fisk tells him to sit down and oops matt is now dining with them.
-vanessa cutting through the bullshit and inviting matt to bed with them.
-fisk taking note of matt's loved ones and protecting them.
-foggy &/or karen finding out. cue confrontation.
-CATHOLIC GUILT
-GUILT IN GENERAL
-ending is optional. does matt give up and give in? does he eventually betray fisk (and by extension, vanessa)?
