Oh, I love it so much. It's delicious and just chock full of dramatic irony which I also love. Identity porn forever!
I concur. The dramatic irony of this entire trope is the best! Done well, it can be absolutely hilarious, or absolutely heartbreaking. Sometimes it makes me want to just smack their heads together because just talk to each other! But I still love that they don't!
Yeah. I once read a fic that A is pretending to be B in disguise to be A, and has sex with C who thinks he's just B but pretends that he's having sex with A, and the fucked-upness and angst are so awesome.
It's so good! The double talk, the misunderstandings, the secrets that both people know but believe the other doesn't know. Deliciousness. Sweet deliciousness.
+1 to all these.
I really enjoy it! I'm mainly in favour of it when it comes to superheroes (and/or supervillains), but I'm super into other bits of it too. :D
Hidden identity is a satisfying reason for epic miscommunication.
Identity porn is currently my favorite trope in the entire world. So, yes. :)
