That sounds cool, but I'm not sure how it would work. Does Matt try to convince people he's the man in the mask? Or does someone snap a photo of Mike taking his mask off and everyone's trying to work out who it is, so Matt has to come forward and claim it was him doing... something vaguely plausible but totally unlikely... and people just kind of believe him because he clearly has the right face, and there's no way he could be Daredevil. If we can come up with a way to make it work it could be pretty awesome.
I read the stuff you posted, I'm glad you decided to. Also, theres nothing wrong with fluff, I think this story probably needs a halted dose of it to get away from the angst overload! :) Yeah, he doesn't have to talk to Foggy now, he can do it whenever, so Matt doesn't know abut it. Maybe the fight should be a few weeks down the line from where we're at now, give Matt chance to be ignored a few more times when he tells Mike to fess up, give Foggy a few more chances to be confused about Matt inventing a brother, so Matt gets good and pissed about it all (he seems reasonably chill right now, just being happy that Mike's back in his life) Also, you're right, the invited in thing does sound a bit vampire-y. I thought it when I wrote it, but I couldn't think of another way to say it. Might be best to change that!
Where do you think the story should go from here though? I'm thinking cut to Mike talking to Foggy, maybe Foggy's POV and him analyzing everything, trying to work out whether there could actually be two Murdocks, then deciding there is no way this isn't the same Matt he spoke to that morning but in different (way more hideous) clothes. That could be where h invites him out to Josies, maybe with the intention of telling him later, but gets distracted by some girl or decides to leave it a bit longer.
I'm definitely with you on the Mike vs friends thing. Also by this point in his life, he probably wouldn't know how to make a friend. It's not like he goes to school or has a job where he can meet people in a normal way. So even if he did want normal friends, which you're right he probably would be afraid to do, he probably wouldn't be able to, so he might be a bit jealous of Matt for that.
Dates etc, not sure. I guess Mike hasn't been around the whole time Matt's been at Columbia, or he would have mentioned him to Foggy, but when he actually disappeared, could have been after they graduated high school or before Matt moved into the dorm at college. The six month thing isn;t set in stone, but I'd say setting it around March time might be best, if we actually have to name a time of year, for the reasons you said. And yeah, he might not have been away really. He might have been keeping an eye on his brother. He might even have been impersonating Matt for longer than he realizes!
Re: Where Matt has a real identical twin named Mike who is sighted and is Daredevil
