"I'll Be Home for Christmas"

Matt Murdock/Foggy Nelson Hallmark Christmas movie AU; 25k & rated G

Franklin “Foggy” Nelson is a slick New York City attorney whose parents may literally die of heartbreak if he doesn’t make it to their new home in some sleepy village in North Country for Christmas.

Matt's a small-town lawyer with a prickly exterior and a heart waiting to be melted, if only Foggy can figure out a way to keep his foot out of his mouth for five seconds.

Unfortunately, Foggy's job tends to follow him around like a lost puppy, and Matt has his reasons for not trusting the holidays.

“Aren't you with Landman & Zack?” Karen asks. “Or did I hear your parents wrong?”

“I interned with them,” Foggy clarifies, “and they did offer me a position afterwards, but I wound up with HC&B instead.”

“Because Landman & Zack are basically supervillains?” Karen hazards.

“I signed about fifteen different non-disclosure agreements that prevent me from agreeing with that assessment in public,” Foggy tells her, and Matt huffs a laugh, something Foggy wasn’t sure he was capable of. It’s a nice laugh, and Foggy wants to hear it again.
