Waiting For His Father To Come Save Him, Stopwatch In Hand, Or His Sister, Smelling Of Bargain Detergent

waiting for his father to come save him, stopwatch in hand, or his sister, smelling of bargain detergent and smoke and a whole clusterfuck of people he’d tried really goddamn hard to forget about a timeline-or-three ago. begrudgingly, he thought about why he’d given up the moment the marigold had re-entered his system, about the tentative weight of the shot glass in his hand. ; or: klaus goes to an alcoholics anonymous meeting. allison and claire wait outside until they don't. (based on a deleted scene from s4)

new fic :) a short deleted-scene inspired fix-it for everyone who (like me) was horrified that they filmed a klaus resolution and then cut it. steve blackman it's on sight.

anyway, here it is :)

GUYS I EDITED THIS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE SERIES OF FICS!! CHECK THEM OUT YOU WILL LOVE THEM I PROMISEE :D

teehee ヽ(´▽`)/

so i recently graduated and i didn't get into the college i wanted nor did i get to go abroad like i wanted; instead my college has very little prestige and while i know it isn't important i'm very dramatic and this whole summer i've been very anxious and lonely about where my life is going

i'm still trying to cheer myself up, because it's not the end of the world, but i still wanted to write something about all of this — a goodbye to my truly terrible high school experience, told via oikawa, osamu, atsumu, and hinata from haikyuu

please enjoy, i promise it's good :)

atsumu, hinata, osamu, and oikawa — joker, layman, executioner, king — participating in individual comedies of errors, set under the looming curtain call of their high school years. on grief and resolution.

Okay, I take back my original “how I wanted TUA to end” that I made a week ago and instead I want this:

The siblings realise the world keeps ending because they’re all in the same timeline. So in order to distribute the marigold, and save the end of the world, they all have to sacrifice being a family and never see each other again.

It ends with each sibling one by one (Lila and deigo come as a pair, I don’t make the rules) as they board the subway, each to their very own timeline in which the other family members don’t exist.

It’s heartbreaking, and for a family that were split and torn at the beginning of the series, the choice being made for them is even more heartbreaking because they’re a family now more than ever. But as they board the subway, we see a montage of them all in their HAPPY timelines, the beats of “I think we’re alone now” start playing and we realise, while the Hargreeves siblings finally have their happy ending, they are in fact, alone now. Cut to black. Cue BTS images.

I think I’ve seen some similar takes on this already but the whole lila and five get stuck in the time line subway subplot had a lot of potential actually but they just BUTCHERED it with the whole romance thing

imo the could have just done this:

- show them bickering and arguing, fighting over wich station/line to chose next in a sibling like manner

- show lila falling asleep on fives shoulder as she keeps mumbling about some stupid thing Diego has done while five tops that story with an even more stupid anecdote from their childhood

- show five trying to shave himself without a mirror and failing miserably until lila rolls her eyes and goes “give it here you absolute imbecile” and then helping him out BUT STAYING AT A REASONABLE DISTANCE AND NOT BREATHING ALL OVER HIS FACE

- show them freezing on the subway floor, five mentioning how they could save body heat by staying close to each other, visibly uncomfortable, and lila pulls a face but they end up falling asleep shoulder to shoulder NOT CUDDLING

- show them at the greenhouse timeline, covering the walls with self-drawn maps and complicated calculations, brooding night after day after night, trying to figure this out with lila drawing little hearts on the paper with her kids initials in it

- show five finding the map on the subway, immediately rushing to tell lila whose face lights up like a supernova and as she exclaims “fuck, we’re going home!” she tries to high five him (it doesn’t really work, because five does NOT do high fives) and then pulls him in for a hug. five just about lets that happen, but he smiles a tiny smile and they arrive just in time for Christmas

basically instead of the romance that gave everyone the ick, they could have just gone for the whole sibling like dynamic between the two of them that I adored a lot in the previous season(s)!!!!

sakusa kiyoomi is an abba fan. you agree.

he was distraught when they disbanded
