There's actually a lot of more-or-less EtL ships in Check Please - even Jack/Bitty really, if you start from their first meeting - but Parse got far more than his share of the "it's complicated"!
For that one in particular, you have to be willing to take a less sympathetic view of Jack? Which I am willing to do in Parse POV because Jack was at least as awful to Parse as the reverse.
But I read a lot of Parse/Bitty and Jack/Parse/Bitty in general because I wanted Parse but also didn't want Bitty written out! And Parse/Bitty also does the thing I really love with the two people who have a lot of sex about a third person, just in a much, much less healthy way than the last version of that dynamic I rec'd.
