I'm not sure it's a guilty pleasure, but there is a severe lack of mattfoggy mutual masturbation out there in the wild. You are a delight!
They haven’t kissed yet.
Actually, the only thing they’ve done is hug, but it was a long hug--a significant hug, Foggy would say, because Matt ran fingers through Foggy’s hair and his breath got all shuddery and they both awkwardly told each other that--that they were confused, more or less. Confused about each other.
The list of people that Foggy’s not supposed to date includes but is not limited to:
roommates
best friends
other guys
He’s figuring out the last one but the fact that Matt checks off all three scares the shit out of him. He still wants him, though. He wants Matt more than he’s ever wanted anyone and maybe that means he adds an asterisk to the list, maybe a footnote that says excludes Matthew Murdock, the exception that proves all the rules.
I hope.

In the days following The Hug, capitalized emphatically in Foggy’s head which is otherwise just full of screaming, they forget how to talk to each other. They don’t touch. The second they’re alone in their room, they both freeze in place before diving for whatever homework they could do instead of maybe dealing with their shit.
Foggy’s normally better at people than this.
Three days in, the sound of the door shutting behind Matt when he comes back from class triggers a Pavlovian deer in the headlights feeling for Foggy before he finally, finally, finally shakes it off and catches Matt before he gets his headphones on and pretends like he can’t hear Foggy.
He leverages himself off the bed and says, “Hey, hi, buddy, we need to--we need to talk.”
“Do we have to?” Matt asks, smiling nervously.
"I think so,” Foggy says. “I think so, or one or both of us might die from how awkward this is and I also--I’ve got some ideas? I’ve got thoughts, Matt.”
“Thoughts?” Matt asks.
“Well, first and foremost, I wanna kiss the crap out of you, but--”
To his surprise, he’s suddenly interrupted by Matt’s chapped lips being pressed to the corner of his own, hesitant and then firm when Matt moves to kiss him full on.
“Oh,” Foggy breathes.
“I have thoughts, too,” Matt whispers.
*
Once they learn how to kiss each other, which is exactly the same as kissing anyone else except he’s kissing Matt, it just feels like they’re in a perpetual out of breath, swollen lip purgatory where both of them want to take their pants off but suddenly neither of them remembers how to work a freaking zipper.
“I want to see you naked,” Foggy says, on the walk back from dinner one night, and Matt looks terrified for all of ten seconds before he looks interested instead.
“I’d like to touch--more of you,” he says.
“Like what?” Foggy asks, grinning when Matt rolls his eyes.
“Your ankles,” Matt says, dryly. “It’s a thing for me.”
Foggy wants to hold his hand but he’s not sure if that’s what they are. Hand holders.
*
Matt’s naked. Foggy’s naked--they are both naked, at the same time, and Foggy has no idea why Matt wants to be with him when he’s maybe hotter with his shirt on and Matt looks like--like every model on a package of underwear but he’s actually got shoulders and a head and a smile that makes Foggy want to pin him down and kiss him and tell him that he’s maybe falling in love with him.
Matt’s hot, is the point, and they’re naked.
“I--don’t know how to touch you,” Matt says, making a sad face and shifting uncomfortably on his feet. “I know that sounds stupid.”
“No, it’s not, I think I’ve forgotten how hands work,” Foggy says. Matt’s already hard and it’s distracting but Foggy feels weird just, like--going for it. “What if you touched yourself?”
“And you’ll--watch?” Matt asks.
“Study,” Foggy says. “I’ll take notes.”
“Oh, god,” Matt says, laughing, stepping close to kiss Foggy softly. “As long as you don’t start pulling rulers out.”
“I don’t need to measure anything to know that I’m into what you’re working with, Matty,” Foggy says, pressing his hands to Matt’s warm cheeks. “Will you touch yourself for me?”
Matt’s mouth drops open for a moment.
“Yeah,” he says, hushed. “For you.”
*
This is the hottest thing that’s ever happened to Foggy. This is the hottest thing that will ever happen to Foggy, he’s pretty sure of it, because he’s pressed up against Matt’s back while Matt sits on the edge of his bed and jerks himself off and moans in earnest, the kind of noises you muffle when you’re jerking off in the same room as your roommate, but this is--a different kind of jerking off in the same room as your roommate.
Matt tips his head back so Foggy can kiss his panting mouth before he says, “I want to--I want to touch you like this, Fog.”
“Yeah?” Foggy asks.
“Touch me?” Matt asks, instead of answering, smiling sweetly.
“Of course,” Foggy says, laughing, moving to sit next to him, their sides pressed together. Matt takes the initiative again and reaches over to touch fingers to Foggy’s stomach, running them down lightly until he circles lube-slick fingers around the base of Foggy’s dick.
This is the hottest thing that’s ever happened to Foggy. He lets the reality of what’s happening sink in before he reaches over to touch Matt, too, overwhelmed at the feeling of him warm under his fingers and the lovely awful dying sound that Matt makes the first time he strokes him.
He tries to talk a few times but it’s easier to just let his body decide what comes out of his mouth, gasping and groaning and saying Matt’s name over and over because it makes Matt looks shocked and happy and somehow even more beautiful.
Matt comes first, fingers too tight on Foggy’s dick for a moment before they loosen and his hips lift up while he comes over Foggy’s hand.
“. . .fuck,” Matt breathes, when he’s finished, turning towards Foggy.
“Good?” Foggy asks.
“Good,” Matt repeats, like he's lost his words, but then he’s turning to push Foggy down on the bed and kiss him roughly and slip a hand between his legs, jerking him off quickly.
“Matt,” Foggy breathes. “Matt, Matt, holy shit, Matt--” and then he’s coming, too, shutting his eyes and letting it roll through him until it’s too much and he has to push at Matt’s shoulder.
Matt wipes his hand off on the sheets and collapses next to Foggy, who is feeling wiped out and giddy and like he should probably tell Matt that he’s definitely falling in love with him. The new addition of Matt’s hand on his dick has sealed the deal. Foggy’s in.
Matt takes his hand. It’s gross, because their hands are both still covered in each other’s come, but he takes Foggy’s hand.
Hello! I had made a $100 donation to RAICES. I love Matt/Foogy; I don't have a specific request beyond that. If you'd like a more specific prompt, just let me know. Thanks! -CT
9. what is the most sinful fic you have ever read/written: Oh gosh, um, I feel like the stuff I post doesn’t tend to be that sinful? Like the tamest A/B/O ever, or a lot of comics!Matt being gently dommed by his canonical love interests. Also one time I wrote Booster Gold having sex with the ghost of Ted Kord, although I feel like that falls more under the category of “weird and sad” than “sinful.”
11. what is your most sinful headcanon: *points to the BDSM fic, I guess* I am discovering very quickly with this meme that I am not very sinful!
Long-Range Interactions Excitation In Open Quantum Systems
Long-Range Interactions and Quantum Entanglement: Optimising Energy Transfer in Open Quantum Systems
Quantum mechanics controls vital natural processes like photosynthesis' incredible energy capture and transfer. To understand energy flow, one needs understand Open Quantum Systems (OQS), where quantum coherence interacts dynamically with the environment to cause decoherence and dissipation. This crucial connection underlies many processes, from quantum information processing to charge transfer (CT) and energy transfer (ET) in molecular electronics, biomolecules, and photochemical materials.
Long-Range Interactions systems' delocalisation and entanglement effects on constructed reservoirs. The study indicates that starting a donor-acceptor system in highly coherent, delocalised quantum states can considerably boost excitation transfer efficiency and speed even when exposed to environmental dissipation.
True biological and chemical transfer mechanisms, such as light-harvesting complexes, require complicated models due to their complexity. A minimal Frenkel exciton model with Long-Range Interactions qubits coupled to a damped collective bosonic mode was used to describe CT and ET related to nuclear vibrations. Qubits encode electronic degrees of freedom, and the bosonic mode replicates molecular vibrations dampened by an Ohmic bath.
This model is distinguished by long-range electronic couplings that show a power-law drop in qubit ion distance. Some emitters find this interaction physically relevant, and the most modern analogue trapped-ion quantum simulators can naturally implement it. This model's capacity to isolate delocalisation and resist temperature, noise, and static disorder make it important.
States with delocalisation yield optimal transfer
The major objective was to study how coherence and quantum correlations affect non-equilibrium dynamics. In a minimal two-monomer configuration (donor and acceptor, each with two qubits), the team found that preparing the initial donor state in a symmetric spin triplet superposition a maximally entangled state resulted in a much higher transfer rate than in an antisymmetric singlet superposition or a simple product state.
A faster transfer rate proportional to in the perturbative domain is due to the greater electronic coupling between triplet states than other inter-monomer couplings. This explains the big speed gain. The study also found that optimal, or critically damped, transfer occurs when coherent coupling strength is nearly equal to motional relaxation rate. When coherent coupling and environmental interaction are balanced, this “optimal transfer” process suggests natural light-harvesting materials transfer more efficiently.
The study also showed that this fast mechanism can transfer entanglement. Starting with the maximally entangled triplet donor state leads to a stable state that is the acceptor state when the energy gap coincides with integer multiples of the vibrational frequency under optimum, low-temperature, and resonant conditions.
Environmental resilience
Open quantum systems face real-world perturbations. The examined how several faults affected transfer efficiency:
Static Disorder: On-site energies or spin-phonon couplings can localise excitement and reduce transfer rate. However, adding static disorder to the on-site energy causes configurations with a higher relaxation rate to decline transfer rate more slowly, revealing how to offset these effects.
White Noise/Dephasing: Electronic dephasing models temporal variations show that noise slows transfer rates by disrupting internal coherences needed for speed growth.
Total transfer rate falls as bath temperature or average phonon number rises. This drop is largely caused by an enhanced steady-state population in donor sites, not a slowdown of the equilibration rate, which was robust near resonance.
Scaling Complex Architectures
The model was improved to include longer monomer chains and more qubits to reduce the gap between basic models and biological structures like the Fenna–Matthews–Olson complex.
The beginning state with the highest overlap with the highly symmetric W state remained the fastest transfer for larger monomers. Since it is the monomer's greatest eigenenergy state, it guarantees the strongest inter-monomer coupling to the suitable acceptor state.
The delocalization-assisted method worked well for longer monomer sequences. Minor population trapping in intermediary sites allowed smooth transfer between nearby monomers, exhibiting irreversible triplet state changes.
Experimental Pathway for Trapped Ions
Importantly, this theoretical approach can be directly applied to trapped-ion quantum simulators as a model for analogue quantum simulation. These systems are ideal for mapping the Frenkel exciton model by recording molecular vibrations in the ions' collective motion (bosonic modes) and electronic states in their internal atomic states (qubits).
Trapped-ion platforms allow unprecedented accuracy in regulating coherent evolution, parameters, and system-bath coupling to adjust temperature through reservoir engineering. Experimental access to the non-perturbative intermediate parameter domain is crucial for researchers. Classical techniques find this domain, where the reorganisation energy is equal to or larger than the electronic coupling, computationally difficult and resource-intensive.
Tunable studies into complex excitonic systems are enabled by this study's experimentally accessible parameters. Finally, this discovery helps create materials with optimised energy transfer pathways, which will progress quantum technologies and physical chemistry.

I mean, Peter tries really hard to avoid any collateral damage when he's at his, uh, internship, and he tries to stay out of the territory of other, um, interns, but sometimes it can't be helped. He's got to talk to those two lawyers in Hell's Kitchen before they try to figure out how to sue Spiderman for damaging that storefront. Maybe he can try to talk to Daredevil for advice, but that guy always seems to know he's coming, somehow.
yes yes yes yes
I want him to try very poorly to hide his secret identity while still trying to get them to represent him, like, “I’m not saying that I am Spider-Man because I’m just here on behalf of Spider-Man, but if I were Spider-Man. . .”
and eventually Foggy’s, like, “Spider-Man, I need you to sign this form,” and Peter’s, like, “Sure!” then “. . .wait.”
