The read I got on the word was "one's absolute best friend", the person who's with you through thick and thin; or at least that's the ideal meaning of the word. I think it encapsulates Marten and Faye's state pretty well, post-actual romance.
The term comes from Andrew Hussie's excellent "Homestuck", and the Alternian Trolls' romance concepts.

Ah, that's just the page I found it on:
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LivingEmotionalCrutch
Oh crap! Now I have to sink 5 hours of my life to reading every link on that page again... :psyduck:

What if Dora was right about her insecurities?
Then again, this is Marten, and going with the flow of staying with Dora would've been the easier option that he probably would've taken...

Hm, I don't think Marten's really into her, he just can't end such feelings (Dora and Marten even fought about that once, cue, "go back to your other five girlfriends")

Oh, good, someone opened Pandora's Box for me...
Dr. ROFLPWN:
I think they threw it in there on account of that's how it tends to get employed, and why moirallegiances tend to break down--it's supposed to mean you take a deep interest in each other's well-being, that you look out for one another emotionally as well as being best friends.
Faye's trusted Marten to look after her in the past, and it's high time he does the same for her.

Yeah, shame he just fucked that right on up, though.
