Oh, coming to Weasley after loosing Foggy to his secrets hits hard. That would be quite something, wouldn't it.
Come to think of it, if Weasley doesn't get killed by Karen there's a good chance that he will become the only person in Matt's life after he loses everyone and everything in Season 2. I hope that by then Weasley (James?) is changed enough by their not-relationship to not use it to essentially remake him. I don't want Weasley to be evil, just, you know... Weasley.
There's a brilliantly written story a few rounds ago that was actually direct inspiration for this prompt, and it humanizes Weasley like nothing I've ever seen -
It's definitely different, but I think about that Weasley often when I write these fills.
About James recognizing Matt - I kind of imagine he would have known for a long time by then, maybe from the start or almost the start. I don't think there would be a giant confrontation when he figures it out; a lot of things go unsaid between them, it's not like he was betrayed by a friend. And Matt probably doesn't even know that he knows for a long time, what with cold and manipulative.
That isn't really a must, though - written well enough, honestly any time for Finding Out is good. It would go down VERY differently at different points in their not-quite-relationship, so there's a choice to be made there.
Re: SNIPPET: Wesley/Matt gets kinda serious
