Do you have any instances of the caretaker not actually liking the whumpee? Like they aren’t friends at all, not just them being strangers or people they kinda sorta know. Enemies works, or adversaries, or just people on opposite sides of a conflict. Thank you if you do! And thank you even if you don’t!
Oooooh love this. Let me think.
Buffy and Spike.

I feel like Katara&Zuko and Aang&Zuko works too. But much more in fanfics than in canon. Here's a good fic for that:
Not Your Enemy By: FireLordFrowny
After a battle gone wrong, Prince Zuko finds himself stranded, hideously and helplessly injured, and the only person around or willing to help him is the Avatar. This is a story of conflict, compassion, and understanding, as the two boys each learn to appreciate the other's motives.
Breathe by Gasmeros
When his ship explodes, Zuko isn't so lucky to get away unscathed. No amount of firebending can protect him from the solid steel the explosion launches everywhere. His ship is lodged in his chest, and he can't breathe. He must rely on the Avatar to do it for him.
The Hunger Games can be like that between the tributes.
Game of Thrones. Jaime and Brienne in Game of Thrones. Fuck I love them so much.
Reading: Mainly fanfiction. Currently working my way through at least four separate books simultaneously, however.
Last Series Watched: Last one completed? Probably The Magnificent Seven
Last Film: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Last Song: 'Stand' by Rascal Flatts
Sweet or Salty: Sweet, definitely
Coffee or Tea: Coffee, but usually in my own homemade mocha drink
Working On: Multiple fanfics, plus a handful of video edits

Aaaand an assortment of fic recs under the cut!
~ Let the House Absorb the Blame, White Collar (2,509 words)
When a case goes wrong, Neal ends up drugged, confused, and he does the only thing he can - he runs. What he doesn't know is where he's run to, and why he's so reluctant to leave.

~ L is for Lost, The Listener (3,198 words)
They just wanted a relaxing night out in town, but it ended up with Toby in trouble.

“Jay?” Dick mumbled, clearly confused. “What’re you doin’ here?”
“This is my safehouse, dumbass.” Shit.
Dick blinked. “Yeah, but…” he furrowed his brow. “Didn’ think you’d be here….” He continued blinking at Jason, but made no further moves to enter the apartment.
Jason’s mind was running through scenarios. Drunk? High? Drugged? Some sort of mental breakdown? And why had the golden boy come here?
~ A Study in Exsanguinity, The Musketeers (3,411 words)
D'Artagnan has been abducted by a cult of purple-robed men. It's all somewhat tedious, until they start preparing him for sacrifice.

Juno Steel takes the case of Faustus Silva, a wealthy man beloved by all--except, of course, for the person that's trying to kill him. Wherein Juno gets all dressed up and goes to a party which inevitably goes terribly, horribly wrong.
