Two characters are each doing their thing, whether that's saving the world or just trying not to get fired. For some reason, it turns out that neither can succeed if the other fails. However, the dramatic element is that they can't just cooperate and get both tasks done. It has to be done discreetly, so one or both has to help the other secretly in order to achieve their own goal.
Compare Beleaguered Assistant.

In Batman Begins, WayneCo R&D Director Fox provides much of Batman's gear, so Bruce Wayne has to keep him employed over the objections of the board.

In the Discworld's Ankh-Morpork, Commander Vimes pursues the law without favor, annoys the rich and power, upsets the finely-balanced alliances of the city's politics and generally makes a nuisance of himself to Lord Vetinari by thumping through his court like a bull in a china shop. This is exactly why Vetinari likes having him around.

The Joker's line ("You complete me") in The Dark Knight could be seen as this trope.

In Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, once Batman had retired, so did the Joker. And once he comes out of retirement, The Joker follows suit.
The Joker's line ("You complete me") in The Dark Knight could be seen as this trope.

Sue-Ellen from Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead gets a job in the fashion industry by lying about her age and keeps it because a mostly overlooked employee from another department is doing all the hard stuff for her.

In at least some versions of the story, Superman uses Lois Lane to scout out the baddies and types her papers as Clark Kent in order to keep it that way.
