Oh my god nonny, the Bruce-Martha friendship is everything I could have hoped for and more.
The sweetness of their interactions, and Martha's hard uncompromising nature coming up against Bruce's. Martha's very no-nonsense in her way. Which tickles me to no end, because I'm sure Bruce thinks he's the epitome of practically and no-nonsense behavior. Only to have Martha just kind of quietly shaking her head, fond, and disbelieving, at Bruce's incredible depth of self-deceiving faffery.
I think she can see the hurting person that Bruce is. He wants to help Clark--help Martha--and do it in a way where his help will be accepted. Where he doesn't have to deal with FeelingsTM while he's HelpingTM.
Just. Wow. Thank you for this. I always re-read your fills two or three times before I comment so I can soak in all of the good stuff you give us.
This is already some really high-quality identity porn. Having Martha in on this has given this fic such an interesting edge... I don't think I've read an identity porn piece quite like this before. Martha being in on it gives Bruce quite a bit more of an interesting set of overlapping social circles in which to be... all of him.

I am SO excited to see where this goes.
