Summary
"Grace, question?” Rocky says from his tunnel.
“Yeah?” I peek my head up, wiping nonexistent dust off my pants. The storage compartment was almost completely sterile, but I needed something to do with my hands.
“All okay, question?” There’s a slight quiver in the notes of his voice that I’ve come to recognize as hesitance.
“Of course, buddy.” I laugh disbelievingly, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Ryland finds Yao’s gun and he is perfectly normal about it, thank you very much. He’s only been stuck in the same environment eating the same meals everyday for a year now. He’s fine.

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
Fandoms: The Umbrella Academy (TV)
12 Mar 2021
Tags
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.)

We Could Get Better (Because We're Not Dead Yet) by Biromantic_Nerd
Fandoms: The Umbrella Academy (TV)

Summary
Diego's brother has his arms around himself, hands securing his coat and towel around his bloody, mostly bare body in white knuckled grips, one of the guns he secured on his lap, eyes squeezed closed.
She should really take him to a hospital.
(AKA, Canon divergence where Patch and Klaus become friends after That Scene, Diego tries to be a better brother, the Hargreeves try to be a family, and the apocalypse gets a bit delayed.)

Summary
After everything is done for, Klaus catches up with Ben.
--
Ben swallows the sudden lump in his throat, balls his hands into fists. “I’m not your brother,” he repeats. “I can’t be him. I—I won’t ever be him.”
“I’m no asking you to,” Klaus says, easy as that.Bookmarked by AnonymousContrivance

Summary
“Dad!”
Nothing.
“Dad, please, I’m scared!”
Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
Luther raises a hand tentatively, brings it to rest against Reginald’s shoulder- his hand goes through him. Shimmers bright blue for the briefest of seconds, sending a weird tingling feeling through his body. Luther pulls it away quickly, as if it burned.
Reginald doesn’t look up.
Maybe Luther's dead.

Summary
Prologue
“Her name was Delores. We were together for over thirty years.”
“Thirty years?” Klaus repeats incredulously. “Wow.” He draws the word out into a laugh. Their love lives could not be more different. “The longest I’ve ever been with someone was… I don’t know, three weeks? And that’s only because I was so tired of looking for a place to sleep.”
Klaus allows the memories to drift hazily, and surprises himself by feeling almost melancholy. What must it be like, to be with the same person for so long? Who could possibly stand to be around him for that length of time?
“He did make the most fantastic osso buco, though.”

“You know, I think the Séance was a bad name for me, in retrospect.” Klaus bends his head to the side, and his neck lets out a loud crack in release. “They should have called me the Cockroach.”

Summary
“I see you’ve finally ditched the ugly uniform,” Klaus says despite Five’s intense warning look, but he really can’t take his brother seriously right now—Luther's large shirt makes him look so young that it’s almost weird. It’s like he’s getting a glimpse of their brother before he ran away all those years ago. “About damn time, Allison and I were getting concerned you would never get rid of that atrocious outfit.”
“The “atrocious outfit” is in the dryer,” Five growls, and Klaus might’ve pinched his brother’s cheek if he didn’t sort of value his life. “It was covered in blood, and I have no other clothes, hence the shirt.”

Summary
There were many things Klaus willingly ignored and chose to accept as inevitable. His chores around the house and the scolding and punishments that followed the small acts of lazy rebellion. Five’s absence, still so fresh in their minds. Vanya’s spiral into depression. The mausoleum.
But there was one thing he couldn’t—wouldn’t accept.
Ben’s death.

Summary
“He’s not breathing—” Diego checks his pulse. “—he’s…there’s…there’s no pulse!”
Klaus watches Diego press a trembling finger onto the pale line of his throat.
“…guys?”
“Shut the fuck up, Luther,” Diego glares at him from across the room, next to his body— “Are you happy now? Is that what you wanted? Allison—”
What the hell?
Wait, did Diego just say Luther?
Risking a glance at Vanya in the hopes of catching sight of his reflection, he inches closer towards the door. His sister stopped hammering on the glass door, instead staring in open mouthed horror at where Diego is hovering over his body. She’s nearly pressed against the glass, not cowering back when he approaches and sees—
—Luther’s face staring back at him.
Klaus stumbles back, head beginning to ache. "Oh, shit."

Summary
A plan took shape in Five’s mind.
It wasn’t one he particularly liked, and it would be unequivocally humiliating, but with the Commission coming and their powers shot to hell for the foreseeable future, Five couldn’t think of any other option.
Didn’t change the fact that he despised crying.
--
Five pretends to cry to get an enemy to lower their guard—emphasis on “pretend.”His siblings don’t catch on. After getting over their shock, they become unnecessarily distressed and proceed to flutter around Five like neurotic chickens.
Oh, and some people die, but that was kind of the plan all along.

Summary
Klaus flicked through a few pages without reading them, shut the book, craned his neck to look back at Ben, and mouthed, does he sleep here?
Ben shrugged helplessly. “You could ask, but….”
But Five wouldn’t answer, Klaus knew. Not yet. Convincing Five to open up took finesse. For starters, Klaus had to get him talking again, so he tossed out the first question that came to mind – “Hey, did you and Dolores break up or something?”
“Abort mission,” Ben deadpanned.
