Motivations:

J'onn J'onzz (Martian Manhunter) & Ma'alefa'ak

They are twins. Martian Mahunter can be a fun character for both lighthearted moments or for more serious moments. He's a detective. He's a fun guy. He deserves to have a family

Cassandra Cain (Batgirl) & Jason Todd (Red Hood)

their moral codes directly oppose each other and are formed by extremely traumatic situations they were put in when they were children. jason sees himself in every victim and cass sees herself in every killer and i think they should beat each other up about it. cass's refusal to let anyone kill and her insistence that everyone can change if she can convince them has been explored multiple times but I think bruce's closeness with jason would add another interesting layer to her thought process. all that being said, I don't trust dc to actually pull it off

Fanfics should have Jason and steph interact more like they do in the comics like hugging at the end of task force z instead of just making steph and Cass practically identical so they don’t have to use either and only bringing steph in to make her threaten Jason over hurting Tim because he’s an owo sad boy. Like steph and Cass aren’t Stephen kings shining twins where neither can exist without the other and steph isn’t solely motivated by Tim. It’s a disservice to both characters to strip them back to besties and make their only dynamic each other. Cass and steph should get to exist as their own entities. Do I like steph and Cass interactions? Yes. But not when it’s the only option. And I don’t mean steph and Jason in a romantic sense because they’re siblings your honour.

Tbf the steph and Jason friendship in comics is a very recent thing which I am very happy about considering they have a lot in common and I'd love to see that explored more in fanfics especially bc like I said yesterday there could be a lot of mixed emotions there considering alot of the shit steph had to deal with from Bruce can be seen as a direct result of jason - I think the steph cass thing comes down to the usual of people not knowing about their personalities enough and them not actually even having fanon personalities outside of emotional support with the one thing people do know about them being they're besties so that's how they're written as a double act
