Ohhhh I’d love to see Martin’s and Sergio’s first meeting. It’d be soo funny in whatever way you imagine it happening. Like I imagine Andres introducing them in a work setting, having Martin explain a plan they want Sergio’s input on or even after the fact showing off to Sergio how they pulled of an impossible heist. And Sergio nodding along thinking “wow this guy really knows his stuff”, impressed with the equations and terminology Martin uses. And as soon as they’re done with the heist talk Martin proposes Sergio a ‘masterful fellatio’ ( or something along the lines off) and it throws Sergio completely off. Second or two passes Martin starts laughing ,Andres starts laughing and Sergio doesn’t know how to respond, if it was a serious offer and he should politely but firmly refuse or if they’re just messing around with him. Probably both. With time I think that’s how Martin brought Sergio’s guard down. Something I don’t think anyone in Andres’ life managed to do (the wives, work associates…) I would necessarily call it ‘trust’ but I feel like Sergio relaxes around Martin, doesn’t have to be on guard as he usually is.

Exactly, anon, exactly! In whatever scenario you imagine their first meeting, it'll still be hilarious. Like we see how flustered Sergio is sometimes still around Martín after ten years, imagine how ???? he was the first time Martín was Martín around him.

Please yes, this scenario! Absloutely love it. Sergio not being able to decipher whether Martín is serious or fucking with him and Andrés being with Martín must have sent him insane.

I fully agree with you here too! I definitely believe out of anyone Andrés ever knew, befriended, worked with, or married, Martín is the one who ended up with any significant effect on Sergio. Sergio doesn't exactly "trust" Martín because he knows Martín and he knows exactly where and how would he trust him, this is much more intimate (and I doubt Sergio trusted even his brother in that regard. He's too smart and knows them both too well to trust them in that sense.)

I think a lot of elements went into making Sergio's guard go down with Martín. He knows that he fully loves and has unbounded loyalty to Andrés, which I'm sure had a part of why Sergio ended up "liking" Martín so. Martín is also a lot like Sergio himself. I often think Martín is a mirror image to both brothers. In soul, ambition, attitude, morality, sense of art and romanticism, he and Andrés are the same. But as Andrés said, in his genius, sheer dedication, obsession, egotistical believe that on one else alive can do the job like they are doing, and unstoppable drive, he is Sergio's mirror image. And both Sergio and Martín know it, which makes Sergio uneasy (and which makes two of their most significant scenes in the show together start with Martín telling him that unlike everyone else, he knows Sergio and can immediately dissect what's happening in his brain. Unlike a lot of the lcdp characters, Martín is perhaps the only character who sees Sergio exactly as he is.)

But also above all, there is such genuine respect between them. Martín cares about Sergio's opinions and approval as much as Andrés does, this obviously, especially for a character as egotistical as Martín, didn't just come from nowhere. And it's very telling too that this is the exact same vice versa. Martín is the *only* banda member who knew how the gold goes out. And I do believe Sergio didn't only tell him because Martín noticed something was hidden from him and outright refused to enter the bank if he wasn't told, but because Sergio respects him and when it comes down to the heart of it, he "trusts" Martín. And with all of that, it's such an older brother and younger brother relationship too. It parallels Sergio's relationship with Andrés in such a fascinating way because there aren't many if any characters in the show that Sergio "reveries" but you can definitely notice it in his scenes with Martín. Such a fascinating relationship!

#sorry for this qhaksos I just love their relationship so much #SO MUCH #as much as I am excited and hopeful for both berlermo scenes and hermanos scenes (and def the trio together scenes) #I'm nearly even MORE excited for more solo Martín and Sergio scenes #I need to see more of them #fanfics and headcanons that always have Martín so insecure because of Sergio or that are generally treating the whole #who Andrés would choose #miss the point so much #like Roci and I once agreed upon if the three of them were trapped in a deserted island #both Andrés and Martín would choose to give what they have to Sergio and die together #that's the difference. he's Martin's younger brother too. Andres would die with Martín but he would die for Sergio #and Martín would agree with him about it #Anyway what a duo. what a relationship #wasn't satisfied with many things in the lcdp finale but the second to last scene being a smile shared between Sergio and Martin #isn't one of them #like YES that is the main most important relationship of Martín's in the current time-line after Sergio #Martín treating Raquel like a younger sister of sorts too. comforting her in the bank like he comforted Sergio once just ahhhhhh #I'll stop now. I promise
