Summary
You know you’re up to your eyeballs in weird shit when the unending erection isn’t the most pressing issue.
When Danny asks for Matt’s help investigating a shady pharmaceutical company upstate, the most Matt expects is a long drive, some boring business meetings, and the opportunity to get to know Danny a little better. Then things take a turn for the unexpected when Danny gets hit by a drug that destabilizes his qi.
Now as Danny struggles to not add another lake to the landscape, Matt’s got his hands full helping him out -- a handful which becomes more literal than anticipated after Matt proposes an... unconventional method of treatment.

Summary
Matt crosses the rest of the room in a heartbeat, wrapping his arms around his friend and squeezing tight as though to test his reality against the creeping fear that his mental state has deteriorated further than he realized and he has somehow hallucinated this whole situation.
“Wait, but— how are you here? You should be dead.”
“Yikes, buddy. Sure making me feel welcome over here,” Foggy says, pulling an exaggerated face.
Matt closes his eyes and shakes his head, shame blooming hot in his stomach. But it is followed closely by a gnawing sense of uneasiness that something about this situation just isn’t right. “Hey, come on. I mean, I’m thrilled to see you, but I was at your funeral, Fog. I was there when they buried you.”
“Well, I guess it didn’t take,” Foggy says with a shrug that mocks the gravity of the situation. “You know a thing or two about that, don’t you?”
—
Or, Foggy has seemingly returned from the dead, and Matt has to figure out how and why and what the implications are, but nothing is as he expected. Can he trust the demon that has taken over his friend's body to help him get out of an impossible choice? Written for the 2025 Daredevil/Defenders Exchange for StripedScribe. -

Summary
“Johnny Cash?” Foggy asks, holding up a record cover in earnest. “Didn’t take you for a cowboy.”
“I’ll be whatever they want if it helps me finish the essay.”
The blond laughs, and the timbre of it reverberates in Matt’s chest.
They spend a few moments like that, side by side. Listening to Foggy sort through the pile of music that’s steadily been growing next to his bed. Matt tries his hardest not to lean closer, and feel the warmth roiling off his friend like a furnace.
Since when did they become friends?
Foggy breaks the silence, humming deep in thought. Seems like he couldn’t find anything either.
“Maybe you just haven’t found the right inspiration?” He posits, glancing back.
Matt sighs. Softly this time. “If I fail this class, I’ll know more musical terminology than I ever needed to. Or wanted to.”
Foggy chuckles under his breath. It’s a warm sound, and it fills the room like a symphony. He tucks a strand of blond hair behind his ear.------
A short story about Matt being forced to take a music class, and learning two things at once: A, he's not cut out to be a music critic, and B, he's in love with Foggy Nelson.

Summary
Combat boots stretches, and throws a pebble at the group of people tied up on the floor. “All I’m saying is, we stay here too long, that’s just asking for one of those vigilantes to come busting through the door.”
A collective murmur grows at the mention of superhumans.
“What, like The Devil of Hells Kitchen?” Bandana asks flippantly.
Eddie shushes him. “Hey, you want to jinx us? Stop talking about it!”
“What are you, superstitious?”
The rest of the men cough to hide their laughs.
“What about that one chick, Jessica Jones?” Combat boots asks with a lewd grin on his face. “Man, she’s got an ass. And those legs…”
“Let’s hope she doesn’t ram one of those legs through your skull.” Bandana quips.
Eddie throws his hands up in defeat. -
