Summary:
"Here's the deal," Paramedic Guy starts. "Sorry," Jason says. "Who died and put you in charge?" "You did," Paramedic Guy says blithely. Jason scoffs. "Listen, dude. I don't give a shit about who you are, or any—weird fucking abilities you may or may not have. This is Gotham. The only way you don't trip and eat shit is if you don't get involved." "If this is your idea of uninvolved," Jason deadpans. "I suggest you crack open a dictionary." *** Listen. Sometimes you resurrect yourself right into a bitchy paramedic's nose and then he refuses to leave you the fuck alone. It could happen to anyone. OR Three times Jason Todd gets a helping hand + one time he returns the favor.

Submitter's comment:
So this is based on the Penguin TV show, but all you need to know is that the Jason in that verse comes back to life after dying and has been working for a mob boss since his first resurrection. I don't read many shippy OC fics (not sure if I've read one in the last decade, actually) but this guy is fascinating, and his issues are as ridiculous as Jason's, and they get to be such good friends, and fall desperately in love, and then are INCREDIBLY STUPID ABOUT IT. Impressive levels of stupid. These authours created a character JUST to be a romantic interest, and then made him SO BAD at romance! You need to read the whole series to know just how dumb they are, but it's a very very good read!
