I LOVVEEE Jason todd and Peter Parker fics because their stories are almost exact parallels except for the fact that Peter had a support system and Jason didn't.
They both grew up dirt poor and surrounded by tragedy. But Peter always had uncle ben and aunt may to keep him optimistic and happy. Jason had an extremely abusive father and a mother who had drug problems and that home environment made him cynical and untrusting.
They both experienced the loss of a parental figure (Uncle Ben and Catherine Todd) and became heroes shortly after.
They both got superhero mentors (Tony and Bruce). Except Tony (and u can fight me on this) was horribly manipulative, threatening Peter with releasing his identity (effectively threatening his family and friends), forcing A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD to fight CAPTAIN AMERICA, WHO DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS A CHILD AND WASN'T HOLDING BACK. Jason got Brucie boy who despite being emotionally constipated did LOVE Jason as a son.
Both their mentors/father figures took away their ability to help people over a well intentioned mistake. This taught their mentees (whether on purpose or not) that they were only accepted when they are useful and that their love is conditional. This is NOT what bruce intended but he is too traumatised a up his own ass to verbally affirm his love for Jason, and because he never TOLD jason that he was his son, or that he loved him, Jason never knew.
After their ability to superhero was taken away both of them rebelled in an attempt to find love (Peter trying to prove he IS worthy and win Tony's love and Jason tried to get affection from Sheila Haywood because he believed so deeply that Bruce's love was impossible to attain)
In both cases they ended up with a warehouse on top of them.
Peter had slowly been realising over the course of Homecoming that Tony DIDN'T love him, and that tony WASN'T coming to save him from the building. So peter knew he had to get himself out of that situation and he only had this revelation because he had an example of what real love looks like (MJ, Ned, May etc). When jason was in that warehouse in Ethiopia he took Sheila's betrayal as proof that he was undeserving of love and therfore, he thought no one was coming to save him AND ACCEPTED THAT. Particularly heartbreaking because Batman WAS coming to save him, but didn't arrive in time.
Peter (in my au at least) heals from Tony and Vulture with his family, friends and other heroes (cough daredevil cough). But Jason never got that chance, after he was resurrected he found out abt tim and abt the Joker surviving and took it as FURTHER confirmation that Bruce never loved him.
Jason returns to Gotham and eventually comes to a sort of truce with batman but he feels like he can never truly be a part of the family again because of what he's been through. Batman believes so deeply in second chances, but thats the issue. Bruce EXPECTS jason to change, change his methods and his morality. Even though nothing about who jason is was his choice, he literally couldn't change if he wanted to.
Peter (despite having a no kill rule) doesnt expect this from him. Sure he will actively sabotage kill shots or stand in the way, but he won't ask him to change (experience with deadpool and punisher).
This results in Jason changing his methods OF HIS OWN FREE WILL, because he sees how much the killing upsets Spider-Man, and how he has never asked him to stop.
Jason would be fiercely protective of Peter, because symbolically, it is jason seeing and accepting that he is NOT peter and he shouldn't be. But also how easy it would have been for Peter to end up like him.
Ultimatley Peter is able to give Jason the one thing he needs, a support system. And Jason can give Peter what he needs in Gotham, someone to look after him, feed him, clothe him, help him through the Pit rage.
Basically this duo is super important to me and you can pry them from my cold dead hands.

The parallelsss of first Eddie looking at Buck, talking about becoming a readymade family and not being sure if he's ready,
And Tommy telling Buck he doesn't think Buck is ready.
And Eddie hearing about that conversation, asking "what do you think?"
And Buck answering
"I kinda can't stop thinking about him"...
Eddie: Well you know what I think? You should call him.
AND earlier Tommy telling Buck to call Eddie and joking that it's good timing, Eddie's on pain killers.... Kfkbdbebdnd.
I'm eating glass here. Glassssssss.

AND ONE MORE THING ABOUT THE LUZ/PHILLIP PARALLELSSS
when luz returns to gravesfield in the s2 finale, she has changed and grown so much. even if it was only what? 3 months? 3 and a half? shes practically a new person, and this is reflected in her clothing. nothing remains of what she was wearing when she left, not even her bag! not even the azura book she loved so much it arguably kickstarted the whole thing! but gravesfield is basically the same. and no duh, 3 months is nothing to a town.
phillip, on the other hand, as evidenced by him wearing his 1600s clothing, wants to act as if the past three hundred years and change were nothing. while, evidently to anybody who isnt him, the world fucking changed over the course of the centuries he was gone.
but heres the thing: he hasnt changed. he hasnt even wanted to change or learn or grow. several centuries living among witches and demons and he never changes his opinion on them, never reflects, never admits he was wrong. he is efectively frozen in time on the seventeenth century, and in s3? hes gonna learn the world has fucking moved on.

no but the eddie begins parallelsss like I CANT WITH EDDIE SCREAMING HIS NAME
I will rally behind this ship until the end of the series and beyond because the hard truth is that if one of them were a woman, they'd be in a committed relationship by now. And I know I'm not the only one who has said and thinks that.
Still, the IMPLICATIONS of a scene like THAT can't be overlooked.
I know I say this every time the show sidesteps it, but I really don't know how much longer the show can pretend Buck and Eddie aren't madly in love with each other. It's all RIGHT THERE.
