Dcxdp! toxic relationship idea
We do not talk enough about Jazz Fenton as anything other than “the responsible one,” and that’s such a disservice to her character. like yes, she’s kind, she’s smart, she tries to hold everything together, but she’s also a teenager, who makes bad decisions like dating Johnny 13 because he was the typical bad boy.
And i love Jazz x Jason Todd, but not in a soft, healing way, I want the mess. i want the version of jason that is still consumed by anger, still orbiting his need to hurt Bruce Wayne back, still convinced that revenge is the only thing keeping him standing. no redemption arc yet. no comfort. just sharp edges and worse decisions.
put them at 18–19 and it’s over. it’s doomed. it’s perfect.
because jazz would absolutely convince herself she can fix him. not in a naïve way, in a calculated, “i understand people, i can reach him” kind of way. except this isn’t a problem she can solve with empathy and logic. and the worst part? she sees the red flags, she recognizes the patterns… and still stays because she belive she can fix him.
And jason isn’t just “a bad boy,” he’s intense, he’s focused, he sees the world in a way that feels real compared to the carefully controlled life jazz is used to. with him, everything is louder, more dangerous, more honest. and for someone who’s spent her whole life being “the stable one,” that kind of chaos can feel like freedom.
until she’s covering for him. until she’s lying to Danny . until she starts justifying things she would’ve never accepted before. and that’s where it gets good, because jazz doesn’t fall all at once. she slides, little by little, convincing herself she’s still in control.
and her parents ?? oh they sees it way before she admits it. They doesn’t even trust jason from the start, but it’s not just jealousy or protectiveness, it’s that gut feeling that something is off. and trying to pull jazz away only makes her dig her heels in deeper, because now it’s not just about jason, it’s about proving she’s not a kid who needs to be told what to do.
which, of course, makes everything worse.
and jason? he’s not oblivious. he knows exactly what he does to her. maybe he tells himself it doesn’t matter. maybe he even thinks pushing her away would be better for her, but he doesn’t. because having someone look at him like he’s still worth saving? yeah. he’s not letting that go easily.
so you get this cycle: jazz trying to save him → getting pulled in deeper → her parents trying to intervene → jazz pushing them away → jason leaning into the chaos → repeat until something breaks.
and something will break.
because being young and in love and just damaged enough to think you can handle it? yeah. that’s not a love story. that’s a slow-motion disaster.
