   Summary

   Matt is trying. He is.

   In the months post-S3, after glasses were clinked in hopes of a bright future and a new sign was drawn on a napkin, Matt is trying to fit back into a life he tried to leave behind. However when the dust finally settles, he finds himself teetering between balance and imbalance in a world that moved on without him in it, in a city that seemed to no longer need him, haunted by the demons of his past and desperate to hold onto those he hadn't failed to save.

   (or the fic where post s3 Matt gets a moment to breathe and in turn, has to deal with all the unresolved trauma he's endured over the years; also him and Foggy are married)
