Summary
A drug makes Dick Grayson see his life as Richard Parker but it’s assumed to be little more than a hallucination. A few years later, Peter Parker shows up. It goes about as well as you’d expect.
OR: 100k+ words of Peter fucking with The Bats and Dick having a mental breakdown. Also some other mcu characters end up in Gotham…
Ooooooh you wanna read it so bad oooooooooo

Summary
Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.
She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.
“Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.
“You long to go back.”
“Yes.”
“For a different outcome.”
Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”
“I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”
Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

Bookmarker's Notes
I think about this fic SOO often. It has essentially everything I want out of a Dick Grayson fic. Many of the other fics I read often fall short of the content, writing style, and particular charm that The Cassandra Metaphor has to offer. It was great and definitely worth my time

But maybe.... they don't.

This definitely hurt to read, but once I started, I couldn't stop. I probably created a personal best for how fast I could read a fic of this length.

Summary
The first time that anyone (aside from the Titans, of course) learnt of Nightwing’s connection to Deathstroke the Terminator was during the end of the world.
or
The long history that Dick Grayson and Slade Wilson begrudgingly share (to the delight of neither party) is finally coming to light and just about no one knows what to do.
