Summary:
"I feel stuck," Cassie says. "I feel terrible, all the time. I can't stop—I'm stuck. Everything's good now, but I can't stop waiting for the next terrible thing to happen. And the other day, a herd of centaurs went on a rampage in Gateway, so I was trying to reign them in, you know? And when I was doing that, a building collapsed on me. I wasn't hurt, because I don't get hurt, but it was small and dark, and I was running out of air, and I—I thought that maybe, that was it. I…I wanted to just stay there and lie down and—but I couldn't. I can't. I'm supposed to be a hero, I'm supposed to be Wonder Girl, I'm supposed to save people and lead the Teen Titans and I can't get hurt and a building fell down on me and no one could tell— And you— When is it my turn to have a mental breakdown in Paris?" Tim gapes at her. The cracker he was about to eat falls quietly onto the couch. "Cassie," he says, "What the fuck?" Cassie bursts into tears.

Submitter's comment:
this is actually THE cassie fic of all time. SO deliciously angsty and focused specifically on how it must feel to fall apart when you're supposed to be the invulnerable one who holds everything together for everyone else. UGH. I'm going to start breaking things. "when is it Cassie's turn to have a breakdown in Paris" indeed
