It's that time again! About a month ago the works for the annual Avocado Secret Satan dropped on AO3 (and here)! You can check them out by going to the collection or by clicking on individual links below. Please leave some feedback in the form of comments and kudos if you do! Everyone worked really hard on their gifts! :D
Accustomed To Your Face (1781 words) by MissMoochy (T)
Foggy grows a beard. Matt likes it.
It's the amount of detail that makes this one the epitome of a Daredevil fic. MissMoochy lovingly describes Foggy and his beard from Matt's POV, but it doesn't stop at the physical details. The author blesses us with some of the psychology behind Matt's feelings toward it too!
2. Behind Closed Doors (3317 words) by inkforhumanhands (T)
There’s only one thing as unequivocal as his best friend’s autopsy report. When Matt comes back from the dead, however, he’s not the only thing from Foggy’s past to reprise itself. Rosalind Sharpe, the mother whom Foggy had never expected to hear from again, offers him and Matt a place at her firm, reinserting herself into Foggy’s life. At first, Foggy is over the moon. All he’s ever wanted to be is acknowledged. But when Rosalind gets it into her head that he and Matt are a couple—and worse, tells him to dump Matt for someone else—Foggy’s family reunion takes an unexpected turn.
I'm not going to spend too much space hyping up my own fic, but if you are into the Daredevil comics and enjoy Rosalind being laughably terrible I think you'll like this one!
3. By the Book (1880 words) by Lexx_Ishi (E)
College student Foggy Nelson becomes embroiled in the world of underground boxing, where he meets an unlikely competitor.
The setting itself is practically a character in this fic by Lexx_Ishi. Lively, chaotic description brings the underground boxing club to life and give us a fascinating backdrop for this place in which Foggy finds himself a fish out of water. Subscribe to see exactly how Foggy and Matt's worlds collide!
4. Cold Water, Warm Hands [Fanart] (0 words) by tiredbliss (G)
Fanart for sadfey123‘s fic “Cold Water, Warm Hands.”
Do you like mer!Matt? You're certainly not alone. In this lovely AU art piece, you can really feel the affection Matt and Foggy have for each other!
5. Give Me Love, Give Me Shelter (8750 words) by sadfey123 (E)
Something scrapes the asphalt in the alleyway. Suddenly, a low growl comes from behind him.
All the thoughts he might have had come crashing to a halt. Foggy yelps, dropping the bags, trash spilling out across the floor. His eyes widen with the realization of how alone he is, his family gone home.
The growl gets closer. Now right behind him.
Every muscle in his body is tense, every brain cell screaming at him to run, to hide, but for the love of god, don’t turn around. Don’t look.
He looks.
------
Creature!Matt AU, where late one night, Foggy finds a fluffy little guy hanging out by the dumpsters.
For the monsterfuckers in our midst! This is one demon!Matt fic you won't forget!
6. Just a Glimmer (1317 words) by 94BottlesOfSnapple (T)
Foggy, Karen, and Frank are camped out in an abandoned house, miles from home, on the run from a creature that used to be Matt Murdock. Foggy tries and fails to sleep through his companions' argument.
Cleverly structured, this zombie AU tugs at your heartstrings. 94BottlesOfSnapple utilizes the characters well to create both tension and pathos in this delectable morsel of fic.
7. Let Me Protect You (8979 words) by Becci_chan (E)
Foggy regretted applying for the job the second he left the room. He had shaken Kirsten’s hand, then Matt’s, and he had been foolish enough to look back to Matt on his way out, only to see Matt looking in his direction, head tilted curiously. Foggy could feel his face heat up and heart race, and hurried out of the room.
They were looking for professional bodyguards, with experience, something Foggy didn’t have.
When Kirsten called and told him he actually got the job, he couldn’t even stop himself before asking, “Why?”
This one is for those looking for a bit more light-hearted fare and some fun! It includes one of the funniest identity reveals in recent memory, along with some good drama.
8. A Love Like Feathers (2816 words) by soupgonebad (T)
Love, too, is a thing with feathers.
In this lovingly written fantasy AU, Matt and Foggy deal with both magical and romantic injury. Read them get over both, along with a fantastic use of Candace!
9. March On (10814 words) by newtsixtyfive (M)
Foggy’s gone.
Foggy’s gone and Matt can’t imagine a world where he’s here and Foggy isn’t. So, he makes sure that that world doesn’t exist.
Except, it seems like God has other plans. Every time Matt’s body goes cold, he’s knit back together, time and time again—waking up to the familiar sounds of New York missing its heart beat.
Time marches on, and unfortunately, so must he.
(The tang of copper on his tongue and marring his skin is the only proof that anything happened at all.)
In this heavy but poignant fic, Foggy's death at the hands of Bullseye is given the gravitas it deserves. You might need to cling onto the promise of that happy ending, folks!
10. Marv (13185 words) by thelonebamf (G)
With only a few weeks til the holidays, the offices of Franklin Nelson and Matthew Murdock are handling their last remaining client of the year. Separately. But when the stress of their dealings takes its toll on the elderly gentleman, the two have to reevaluate if this arrangement is good for any of them.
(Someone was going to re-imagine the holiday rom-com "Merv". Might as well be me. ;))
thelonebamf deftly applies Merv's rom-com beats to mattfoggy in such a way that it melds perfectly with the canon world we know and love. Satisfyingly structured, this one goes down easy!
11. Of Pool and Dinosaurs and Everything in Between (10969 words) by 42donotpanic (M)
It all started with a bar, too many drinks and a pool table.
It continued with hard conversations and a confrontation Matt wasn't ready to have.
And it ended with Pasta and the best friend either of them could ever wish for.
Foggy is as supportive as it gets in this sweet fic by 42donotpanic while still respecting Matt's autonomy. For the "Foggy is a Good Bro" tag lovers!
12. The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage (4276 words) by TheWholeWayThrough (G)
When he had graduated from law school Matt had made plans, but in the back of his mind he had thought that he probably wouldn’t make it to twenty-five. Then he had thought that he probably wouldn’t make it to thirty. That was what was in store for men like him, men like his dad. Murdocks didn’t die of old age, peacefully asleep in their beds. They died swinging. Matt had made his own peace with that knowledge long ago.
Or, Matt has an unexpected hospital stay, experiences an existential crisis, and then gets a (very small) clue, in that order.
The stubborn Matt Murdock we all know and love and occasionally want to strangle gets the spotlight here in TheWholeWayThrough's fic. It's a small miracle Foggy doesn't give up on him, but thank goodness he doesn't so we can get the payoff!
13. Rawr Means I Love You In Dinosaur (2713 words) by neonbrutalism (G)
There was a pterodactyl in the waiting room.
Foggy closed his eyes for a moment, opened them and looked again.
Yep. Pterodactyl. Reading a magazine.
This was why he preferred to come into the office before Matt did. Matt had a soft spot for weirdos. Foggy only had a soft spot for one weirdo.
--
A new client causes some dinosaur-related issues at the Nelson & Murdock Law Offices.
The perfect amount of ridiculous for comic book shenanigans, neonbrutalism uses her trademark humorous touch for good in bringing us these dinosaur shenanigans. Read on for a very sweet getting-together too!
14. Sunshine on my Skin (1369 words) by 42donotpanic (T)
Foggy is not having a great day, but luckily, Matt has made it his personal mission to make every day as good as he possibly can.
In this one of 42donotpanic's bonus fics, the boys look after each other concerning their respective ailments! Read to get your heart warmed!🥺
15. Tiny Reindeer (2600 words) by StripedScribe (G)
He'd promised. Foggy tries to not let it hurt.
The apartment is filled with festive cheer, tinsel hanging from the walls, a real tree with as many decorations and lights they could fit on it. Foggy steps through to the kitchen, hopping a little as his bare feet hit the cold linoleum, flicking the coffee maker on before returning to find some socks.
In the mood for something cozy? Make yourself a hot chocolate and curl up together with this Christmas fic and Nelson, Murdock & Page. The twist at the end is the cutest!
16. To the Best of Your Abilities (You keep them Safe) (2908 words) by 42donotpanic (T)
Foggy has a bad day.
Foggy has a lot of bad days, really, but this one is even worse.
But he's alone with the kids, so he has to make do until Matt is back.
Foggy deals with chronic pain in this domestic family fic. It's not easy, but at least he's surrounded by people who love him and are understanding.
17. Untitled Matt & Nightcrawler Art by Lockehearted (omenomorph) (G)
A lovely art piece featuring Kurt supporting Matt as they walk home after a battle. Pay close attention to Kurt's tail! 🥺
