We have this one, it's Do with Him as You Will.
I wouldn't mind failure so much, if I didn't fail so much.

Yes! Thank you! I knew there was one for that!
Reading and troping the anthology Aliens vs. Predators: Ultimate Prey. In one story, the Predator character eavesdrops on the main human character talking about her Missing Mom, and as he has a similar experience, feels some bond with her. At the climax, he's subdued his Xenomorph prey, but offers the killing blow to her, feeling that, as he hunts to erase the shame of his family history, she might want to do the same.
This really feels like a trope, but I have no idea which one.
