petraIdentity Porn Rec List of the "A knows who B is, B knows who A is, and they both pretend to be some subset of themselves" variety. I asked for recs a while back and got a bunch because I run in good circles. There were more Miraculous Ladybug stories than this, but I don't really know the canon, so I found the fandom hard to focus on for long.
due South: Blue-Ball Special by gloss, Armando Langostini (not the real one)/Ray Kowalski - RayK knows what's up, "Armando" knows that something weird is going down and he's up for it, and they have very antagonistic, extremely hot sex.
Marvel (616, not MCU): Convention Exclusive by sineala - Steve is a comics artist (as per canon) and Tony is cosplaying Iron Man at a con in the grand tradition of Daniel Radcliffe going as Spider-Man. They have a deeply sweet conversation.
Miraculous Ladybug: one step at a time by zimtlein, Marinette/Adrien - Teenagers finding confidence with each other by being their alter egos with each other. A sweet exploratory story in both physicality and emotions.
Photo Pawsitive by Socchan - Marinette/Adrien, the funniest MacGuffin-reveal of a secret identity I have ever read.
White Collar:
Shooting Stars of Yesteryear by china_shop – Future!fic in which Neal has abandoned his life of crime and acquired a new identity, but not so much that he won't pretend to be Neal Caffrey for Peter when Peter gets the itch. Hot as hell.
You Don't Know My Name by china_shop – Neal and Peter pretend they do not know each other while also being desperate to know one another. Melancholy and beautiful.
My stories that are labeled "identity porn," disambiguated:
Green indeed is the color of lovers - Avengers 2012, Bruce Banner/Tony Stark/Pepper Potts - The identity porn bit is when Bruce pretends to be the Hulk in bed, rather than the bits where he actually is the Hulk in bed, at his partners' heated request.
The two of us in sympathy - DCU, Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent - Bruce goes undercover as a prostitute and Clark takes a heated interest.
Be as true as these - DCU, Bruce Wayne/Clark Kent - 14 word stories of a lot of the possible pairings (e.g. Brucie Wayne the Playboy/Kal-El).
How to Marry a Millionaire - DCU, Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson, co-written with jamjar, the series that started it all. Dissociation for fun and orgasms, and triangulating on emotion by pretending they aren't who they are and just ending up as ever so much more so the people they can't escape being.
The Seven-Year Itch - DCU, Matches Malone (Bruce Wayne)/Dick Grayson while he's a bartender. Dick tries desperately to figure out what Bruce is trying to communicate.
Tempus fugit (when you're having fun) - Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson, Time travel sex from Dick's POV. He knows the score, sort of.
Hand-me-down - DCU, Batman/Alvin Draper (Tim Drake). I love that Tim thinks "Alvin Draper" is a good fake name.
The art of accessorizing - DCU, crossover between comics and the animated universe, various Bat pairings. See also: Te's stories in the same series.
Presence and absence - DCU, Cassandra Cain/Tim Drake (physically); Cass/Stephanie Brown and Tim Drake/Stephanie Brown emotionally. Cass and Tim evoke Steph between them because they miss her too much.
The very friend I sought - DCU, Dick Grayson and Tim Drake have Batman/Robin sex in the Prodigal arc.
I'm only anti-work - DCU, Officer Dick Grayson/Alvin Draper (Tim Drake), which is one of Tim's self-imposed aliases.
I thought she liked me - DCU, Nightwing (Dick Grayson)/Batgirl (Tim Drake). I am afraid to reread this one; no further details provided.
Instructions of truth and nature DCU, Dick Grayson/Roy Harper/Slade Wilson, co-written with derryderrydown. Dubious consent as all get out.
Will you be me when I'm gone? - DCU, Stephanie Brown/Tim Drake, Stephanie is Robin for Tim.
Naked truth - due South, Benton Fraser/Ray Kowalski - This is the LARPing-as-people-they-know variant of identity porn.
We all wear a green carnation - Good Omens, Aziraphale/Crowley - They go undercover as humans in a gentlemen's club, while still being themselves.
Coruscant's Most Wanted - Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker - Obi-Wan has amnesia and thinks he's a bounty hunter who's having a relationship with this guy who calls him "Master."

Honorable mention for my Roleplaying As Each Other stories, which are a different but adjacent layer of kink. If anyone, but anyone, has also written Roleplaying As Each Other stories, lay 'em on me. Here are mine:
Bruce Wayne/Dick Grayson in the How to Marry a Millionaire series, trading off who's Robin today.
The highest form of flattery - Canadian Actor RPF, namely Bob Martin/Don McKellar, the F in RPF stands for Fiction but I did not make up that Bob Martin spent a run of a show delivering his lines in McKellar's cadences
Call me out by your name - Star Wars (Obi-Wan Kenobi/Anakin Skywalker), for a Kinktober series, established relationship mentor/student.

Date: 2024-07-08 12:34 pm (UTC)One character has retired from being Bruce Wayne and is Batman full-time now.
The other character was... the important part is that he's Bruce's right-hand man at Wayne Industries... is that Lucius Fox? I am really rusty on my batcanon. Let's say, for the sake of the analogy and having a name, that it is. The closest this Lucius has come to having a secret identity is code-switching a lot re his culture and language, and lying to himself about his own feelings for Bruce. He doesn't find out that Bruce is Batman until after they're no longer working together.
If there's fanfic in which, since retirement, Batman and Lucius sometimes pretend Batman, as Bruce, is fucking his business manager Lucius Fox over his desk (or vice versa), would you call that identity porn? Or would Lucius have to have his own identity separate from Lucius too?
