I like Foggy and Matt's friendship a lot, I find it more realistic than some other friendships in the mcu and it's mostly due to the raw emotions both characters display in their friendship. It's the way Foggy shows his anger and inevitably his fear for Matt going out at night as daredevil. It's the way Matt's heart breaks to cause that fear and anger but yet he can't stop being daredevil and therefore can't stop hurting Foggy as well. I know Matt burns to tell Foggy why he does what he does, that he can't stop hearing the screams of despair that the city is determined to let Matt hear and yet he knows, god he knows, that Foggy won't understand, won't get it ever.
That's why I like this friendship because it shows there isn't any easy solution, no "I just saved the day, let's go back to being friends like nothing happened", I like how Foggy actually holds Matt accountable for the way he has hurt them both but that he can also acknowlegde in some sick and twisted way that this is Matt punishing himself for the "devil" in him and that breaks Foggy's heart because Matt's the most selfless person on earth is punishing himself for nothing. It makes Foggy stay close, makes him suck it up and be there when Matt comes crawling in through a window body injured beyond what should be possible and patches him up.
Because in the end it's the love Foggy has for Matt that's greater than his anger and Matt can't help but feel guilty for taking it.

The 60s mike murdock creation is so funny from foggys perspective in retrospect cause
Matt: yeah daredevil is actually my twin brother, hes totally real despite you never meeting him or seeing even pictures of him, nor me ever mentioning him before throughout our entire time knowing each other.
Foggy (never told matt about candace but choosing to be contrarian): oh yeah? If hes so real I want to meet him.
Like matt is lying about having a made-up twin brother and foggy has been lying about not having a very real younger sister

netflix’s defenders high school AU is coming so soon you guys 👁️ it’s more or less a breakdown of every possible dynamic / pairing in a high school setting but if enough people like it i’d be so game to specifically write fics while referencing lore.
i’ll say right now that matt foggy and karen DID become friends in a way similar to how they did in daredevil .. just without the dead man. i’ll also say underrated friendships like colleen and claire + colleen and jess have a lot of coverage because this fandom doesn’t talk about them enough. ironwing is also very canon ANDNANDAND kastle slowburn + frank and amy do in fact meet and maintain a similar bond:)
okay that’s all i’ll say for now. if you have any requests for duos you’d maybe wanna see featured, requests are so open.

I whole heartedly believe that Matt is a very tactile guy as in he loves cuddles and hugs and holding hands or leaning his head on Foggy's shoulder when they are watching movies but the thing is he rarely let's himself be tactile. It's like one of does mantras Stick taught him, that he is too soft and allowing himself the comfort of his tactile behaviour is gonna be the death of him which it isn't but it's been so drilled into his head that he just can't imagine actually allowing himself to ask for hugs or cuddles for that matter.
He is only acts tactile like that around the people he absolutely trust which is a very sad list of one Foggy Nelson. It's mostly because Foggy has been around since basically forever and Foggy, on his own, is very stubborn, so slowly over the years he broke down the walls that Matt had carefully constructed.
I imagine after the whole daredevil reveal and they are good buddies again that Matt opens up more about what training with Stick was like and admits to denying himself comfort.
There is a lot more cuddles from then on and murder plans to kill Stick but that's mostly Foggy.

Fireflies and Feelings
transcript below cut;
A bunch of friends gathered at Emmett’s parents house for a barbecue on a warm summer evening, he couldn't help but steal glances at Payton as she laughed and chatted with her brother Lucas. He couldn't ignore the tightness in his chest every time she smiled or the flutter in his stomach every time she touched his arm.
As darkness fell and the stars lit up the sky, Emmett found himself alone with Payton on the porch. It was a rare moment of privacy in their usually busy lives. They sat in comfortable silence, watching the fireflies dance in the air.
'It's so peaceful here,' Payton mused, breaking the silence.
'Yeah, it is,' Emmett replied, his gaze still fixed on the fireflies.
They fell into another comfortable silence until Payton spoke up again. 'You know, Emmett, you and your family have been there for Lucas and I since our parents passed. I don't know what we would have done without you.'
'It was the least we could do,' Emmett said, his voice barely above a whisper.
'I'll always be grateful to you. You're like a brother to me,' Payton said, turning to look at him.
Emmett's heart skipped a beat at her words, but he forced a smile. 'You're like a sister to me too, Payton.'
The words hung in the air between them, unspoken feelings threatening to spill out. But before either of them could say anything else, Lucas came bursting through the door.
'Come on, guys! Let's go down to the lake and have a bonfire!' he exclaimed, his excitement contagious.
Emmett and Payton both laughed and followed him, their moment of intimacy forgotten in the excitement of the evening.
