Summary
As he fell to his knees, one arm still wrapped around the Horror as if that could contain it, he clawed at the board until it budged. And when it did, he flipped to the back, uncapped the pen with his teeth, and scribbled it down as fast as possible.
How to Help My Siblings (and Maybe Stop the Apocalypse)
- Stop Five from time traveling
- Help Vanya learn how to use her powers
- Tell Vanya she has powers (??)
- Help Klaus curb his addiction before it gets out of control
- Spend time with Luther, Allison, Diego
- Stand up to Dad
- don’t die this time---
Time traveling has never made sense, and Ben is the only one sent back in time after the first apocalypse.

Summary
Diego is an amazing police officer, but his coworkers know almost nothing else about him. As each of them stumbles on his relationship with Klaus, they're just relieved Diego has someone looking out for him at home. And with how much happier Klaus makes Diego, none of them think to question the exact nature of their relationship.
Or: five times Diego's coworkers think he's dating Klaus.

Summary
“I finished the muffins yesterday,” says Klaus, staring into the pantry. “Well, well, well, this is a most unwelcome development. What are the chances of a time loop on a day when we’re out of muffins? Perpetually muffin-less. No more muffins until the end of time.”
Ben is reliving the day again and again. Klaus is not terribly focused on fixing it.

Take My Hand (Life Could Be Better Than This) by Shadowscast

Summary
It's 2015. Ben is dead, but he's doing his best to keep his brother alive. It's not easy, when Klaus's first priority is to stay high all the time.
In the midst of a particularly rough patch, the ghost of a soldier shows up claiming to know Klaus from the Vietnam War. Weird, right?
But as it turns out, a timely intervention by this dead soldier may just turn everything around—Klaus's relationship with his siblings, his relationship with his powers, and (does Ben even dare to hope?) his relationship with drugs.
(What is this fic about, actually? I'm going with: Klaus/Life enemies-to-lovers slowburn.)

Summary
Two people, two meetings, two divergences. Funny how one misfired quirk can change an entire story, isn’t it?
(Or: Klaus wants waffles, or maybe pancakes, and to get to know the guy with weird purple hair that he keeps running into. Hitoshi mostly just wants to know where he is and how to get back home, but he keeps running into this guy obsessed with breakfast food.)
