Same Weird Family - New Weird Timeline by MyDarlingClementine

Summary
Five decided that it was one of those “good news, bad news” situations.
The good news was that the Hargreeves had made it back to 2019.
The bad news was that their home was now the Sparrow Academy.
The worst news was the strange way Reginald was staring at Five.
---
Starting where S2 ends, the siblings are stuck in the alternate version of 2019 where the Umbrella Academy doesn’t exist.
Five is mostly trying to avoid dealing with the trauma of watching his siblings die (again) while doing his best to figure out how to get his family home.
The others, well…at least they’re trying this time.

Summary
'When the Handler came walking through the rubble and asked for my name, I simply answered.
<< Number Five. >>
She smirked with a light in her eyes that was supposed to look clever.
<< A code name already, you definitely know how to play. >> she said. << You’ll find yourself at home with us. >>
And I did.'Sweet Number Five has seen some shit, but he doesn't really have time to complain about it.
The apocalypse is coming, and we all need a good plan. And he's good at that. He's the best.
So just give him a decent cup of coffee, will you? -

Summary
The Hargreeves siblings aren't necessarily known for their immaculate survival instincts. More often than not, someone is in danger of dying at some point or another. Luckily for everyone, Five is dead-set determined to make sure they all live to see another day.
Unluckily for everyone, though, is the simple fact that Five doesn't much care for his own life in retrospect...
Or, five times Five saved someone's dumbass, and one time everyone saved his dumbass.

Summary
Five has been training every day to master his powers, and he’s ready to time travel.
Only he miscalculates. Instead of landing in the future, he lands in the dimension that exists in between his jumps. A dimension filled with darkness, horror and a tentacled monster that he’s never seen fully before, but that he knows all too well.
A monster that lives inside his brother, Ben.

Summary
“He never does anything by halves, you know. He gave us his everything years ago, when he decided he loves us, and the only thing you can really do is accept it and hope he’ll let you do the same.”
Klaus remembers the way Five had jumped into a sea of flailing tentacles to knock Ben unconscious. He remembers how Five had dived headfirst into danger for Ben, the way he’d died so that Ben wouldn’t have to. And he thinks he understands, now, why Five and Six and Seven had been so close—the two had been the only ones who really knew Five, the only ones who saw past his arrogant and mischievous exterior and saw a core of loyalty that they returned wholeheartedly.
