Summary
“So we'd be using him as a guinea pig? Yeah, no, bad idea.”
“I'm just saying he would benefit from…”
“Oh, stop it, Clark. You are not his family,” Dick snapped, "I won't torture Bruce for your unhealthy need to always be a hero!”
Clark was stunned, as if he couldn't believe Dick, of all people, was speaking to him that way. Dick, who since he was a child had always looked up to Superman as a role model, who had shaped Nightwing as much by the legacy of Batman as Superman.
The Kryptonian's gaze hardened, "I love him more than any of you ever have.”
(Bruce has little time left. Clark and Dick cope, or rather, don't cope, with the loss the best way they know how.)

Summary
"I'm hallucinating now," Damian muttered to himself, as the boy stared at him, uncertainly, "Mhm, pretty sure I'm not a hallucination."
"That's what a hallucination would say, Richard," he said, knowing he sounded petulant. Whatever the Galra had given him to keep him quiet, it was stronger than many of the drugs he had become accustomed to during his training with the League of Assassins.
It was only for this reason that he risked falling forward. Fortunately for him, he was promptly grabbed by the boy. It was a strong, solid grip, and definitely not a hallucination.
Damian looked up, meeting eyes that reminded him of a dead man, and the other said, "You confused me with another person. My name is not Richard. It's Lance."
(During his imprisonment on an alien ship, after sacrificing himself to save Earth, Damian meets a boy who reminds him terribly of his dead brother. He can't be who he believes, but the resemblance is striking, and Damian just wants to believe that something left by Dick Grayson still exists.)

Summary
"Why are you here, Nightwing?" Superman's voice was calm but firm as he spoke. He didn't even turn around, all his attention on the man lying on the bed, gripping his hand. He touched him as if he were the most precious thing in the world. Dick didn't want to look: Bruce shouldn't be like this, immobile, surrounded by machinery.
"I'm here for him," Dick said, standing in front of the bed, still looking at Superman, because he couldn't see his father Bruce in that way.
Superman made a contemptuous noise, completely out of place for him, "And obviously, you're alone. Where are the others? Minding their own business?"
Dick curled his lip, defensive. "Someone had to stay in Gotham, you know."
"If my father had been saved from a cult that wanted to sacrifice him to an alien god, I'd be right there with him," the alien said angrily. "But apparently, he doesn't even deserve that grace, does he?"
(Batman was a legend. Batman was invincible. But Bruce Wayne was just a man, and Dick wasn't ready to face the chance of seeing another parent die, without being able to tell him he didn't hate him.)

Summary
Peter didn’t know what he expected when Doctor Strange did the final spell above the Statue of Liberty (after all, it was hard to imagine a life where his girlfriend and best friend didn’t know him), but it certainly wasn’t to be sent to a whole different universe in a vastly different city with entirely different heroes and vigilantes. He also wasn’t expecting to find an alternate universe version of his biological dad still alive, either, but apparently this was his life now. Whether this was a good or bad thing was still up for debate.
OR, Peter Parker gets sent to Gotham City in one last attempt by Doctor Strange to keep the multiverse from destroying New York City. The events that follow are interesting, to say the least.

Summary
Peter seems to remember who he is, his name, his losses, his responsibility as the 'friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man', but everything that led to this moment? That led to being stranded in this foreign place? Half-remembered and hastily stitched together.
Gotham is colder than New York, the faces are unfamiliar, the skyline jagged and grim, and the heroes... strange and foreign.
He is haunted by visions of a dour, inescapable green; his memories muddled and vague. He knows he needs to get his narrative in order, needs to remember it properly, but now Peter has garnered the unwanted attention of Gotham's idolised protectors. And try as he might, he cannot seem to shake them off.

Summary
When he finally gets the door open, there's a man standing in the middle of his room. Red Hood. He looks incongruous in Peter’s space, with his sturdy combat boots brushing against a dirty t-shirt that got left on the floor last night.
“Hey, that was pretty fast,” he says brightly. “I’d love to see how fast you can go when you aren’t taking detours to lose a tail first.”
OR
That one where Peter ends up in Gotham after the events of NWH and is determined to stay on his own so that nobody can get hurt, but the Bats refuse to get the memo.

Summary
After the multiverse mess with Doctor Strange, Peter Parker has been stuck in Gotham for months. There, he runs into Wanda Maximoff, a former Avenger from his world, who's also stranded.
They decide to stick together, finding an odd sort of comfort in their shared losses—Wanda, a mother without a child, and Peter, a child without a mother.
Things get tricky when Nightwing and other heroes try to get involved in Peter's life. They even say that his father in this universe wants to meet him. Peter's avoiding that, not wanting to dredge up old issues or put this version of his dad in danger because of his "Parker luck."

Summary
After sacrificing everything to save his world, Peter is flung across dimensions and finds himself alone in Gotham, a city as unforgiving as the new powers he’s struggling to control. As Peter’s spider instincts sharpen, he navigates Gotham’s dark underbelly, evading criminals and catching the attention of the Batfamily.
But to Gotham’s vigilantes, he’s just another dangerous meta—until they realize he might need saving too.
