Dynamic: "I Can Fix Her"
For those MLs who see a messed up train wreck of a FL and go "I can fix that" (or for those rare occasions where they go "I can make her worse" or "I can't fix her but I can love her anyway"). Usually involves them supporting her, helping her grow, bringing her out of her shell and/or helping her heal.
Usually RR at least to some extent.
