Daredevil: Patching Up by sanctuary_for_all
Patching Up (Foggy/Matt | PG13 | 6,303 words | sequel is Gifts): Foggy needs to patch Matt up and in the process they patch each other back. This is a lovely exploration of Foggy working at accepting Daredevil and Matt working at accepting Foggy's care.
Excerpt:
"You don't have to go." Matt tried hard not to sound desperate, but was pretty sure he failed miserably. "I'm fine, really."
Foggy went still at that, and Matt could feel the weight of his best friend's gaze on him. "Nightmares?" he asked finally, voice quiet.
Matt forced his hands to relax. "No." No more than usual, at least. "I just… you don't have to go."
Stay. Please stay.
He swallowed, clamping his lips closed on words he had no right to say. Foggy's heartbeat was starting to speed up, just a little, and he knew he'd pushed into territory he shouldn't have. "But you can, if you want. I know how long I've kept you. You need sleep, too."
Foggy's heartbeat was even faster now, and Matt braced himself for whatever he was going to say. Then Foggy let out a breath, hand lifting to rub across his mouth. "I thought you were humoring me."
