Tua Fic Ideas - Tumblr Posts
So i was reading the "happy 23rd" script for tua and thought about how there was a possible chance that both klaus and harold were held in the same prison. How Harold would see one of those umbrella kids and think - fuck, it was almost like the universe was giving him a gift basket and it would be stupid for him not to take advantage
And now I want an AU of harold jenkins "befriending" klaus in prison and using him somehow to get back at the family
TUA FIC IDEA (1)
Gonna start writing out some of my ideas here to help me remember them because I keep getting bombarded with ideas and not enough pages in my notebook. This is not meant to be coherent but just me writing out thoughts- so uh, spoilers if i were to actually write the thing?
S1 Canon Divergence
From s1x04: Man on the Moon
Premise: Eudora, in deciding to do things the way she knew how, does not end up at the hotel that night. Cha-Cha and Hazel have had enough of the junkie wasting their time, both wanting to finish the job for their own personal reasons. After arguing they come to a decision: exterminate the hostage
Some details below that could be spoilers idk
Some details/snippets (on mobile so typos beware):
(?)* check info/fix
Essentially Eudora going with protocol, calling her partner, Beaman (?) to the truck, and deciding to request a court ordered search warrant. This takes two days(?)
Eudora picks up the picture off the windshield, staring at the faded bold letter of a Motel. She flips the paper, once, twice and again, mind running through the events within the last 72 hours (?). She wasn't stupid. They were all linked, somehow, to whatever the hell is happening with Diego and his family.
*You're brother says Hi*
Eudora purses her lips, brows furrowing as she thinks. Diego was currently out searching for his brother, brothers he rarely ever mentioned since meeting him at the academy. Missing, he said, not taken hostage. Potentially taken hostage, if what these scene (?) was trying to imply.
She wondees if Diego knew.
She wonders of Diego was investigating on his own.
Frowning, she flips the picture again and stares at the address.
She could go, investigate the scene, do things the way she knows she shouldn't. The motel is just at the edge of town, some 20 minutes away by car. A search warrant would need to be issued if she wanted to scout the area - a warrant that would not doubt take time.
Fuck. What if the brother didn't have time?
She lets out a *tsk* sound, one hand reaching for the soft rabbit foot she kept with her at all times. Stroking the fur, she considers her options.
There was no way she would be able to search the Motel under the exemption of Hot Pursuit. The arson attack, the message of a brother and motel were one thing. Linking it to the missing brother (just how long has this brother been missing), would require more evidence despite her certainty of it.
A search warrant could take days.
She could call Diego, but the vigilante didn't own a phone and rarely was ever found at the gym he lived in during the day. It would have to be at night.
Eudora could also go on her own. Beaman would be against going against protocol, meaning any back up she could have would rely on her ex-knife welding partner.
And what if she found the brother? He'd be free, yes, and the surge wanting nothing more than to help was overwhelming...but what then?
She remembers Diego, in handcuffs after every scene he was not allowed in. She remembers the criminals that could not be tried in court thanks to the lack of papers, reports or evidence to do so. She remembers Diego, angry and hopeless when expelled from the Police Academy for chasing a dream that he could not shake off.
She strokes the fur in her pocket once more.
With a sigh, Eudora reaches for her radio, calling Beaman to where she stood. She was going to do this her way.
H & C
Some more torture
Cha-Cha and Hazel, both now at wits ends, angry at the lack of information from their hostage as well as the obvious tension now between them, decide to exterminate Klaus. They'll find Five another way.
Will probs make them a bit more menacing in this fic, since they are second to Five haha
They put a bag over his head, stuff him back into the trunk and drive him out into a deserted forest
Ben stands there, panicked and scared, powerless to stop his own brothers execution. Klaus at this point is a weird juxtaposition of resignation and desperation
With a single click, a bullet goes off, then a second.
One to the head, the other to the heart. Instant kill.
Ben screams
Back to Eudora
Eudora and Beaman are granted the search warrant, though Eudora does not mention the potential hostage to be Diego's brother. They knock on doors, attempt to search for any signs of suspicious clues or activity.
Come across the cleaning lady, whos frantic(?), disgusted(?) about the guest leaving a room bloody. They enter the room, later becoming a crime scene
-> H and C forgot to put the DO NOT DISTURB sign when leaving with Klaus
Here Eudora calls Diego, who tells her that they did already find the brother he was looking for - just lost and not at all taken hostage. She's confused, but explains the message on the truck (because who is the brother? Why write that message at all?). Diego frowns, a feeling unsettling at a thought he did not want to entertain.
Five is there with Diego, along with Luther, (Allison with Viktor?), overhearing the conversation (Five still upset about the arson attack). He immediately starts grilling Eudora for answers, but Eudora is steadfast and hangs up. Irritated, they go to the scene.
Back to Ben
Ben watching his brother slowly bleed out
A bunch of ghosts surround the body, all eerie and quiet. They were never this quiet. Yet, the figures all stand,many of them from the motel, others just stragglers, around the beaten and bloody mess that is (was) his brother. Klaus, disposed of like a piece of trash that no one ever wanted. And the sad fact was that no one even knew. No one came for him. He hated him. He hated his family. He hated that all these years trying to protect his stupid brother when in reality he couldn't do a fucking thing. Not when Klaus OD'd, met with dangerous men and women who only sought out to use him, not when his brother was taken hostage by these fuckers in suits to only be killed after so long.
It hurts. It fucking hurts.
His brothers ghost was not here.
The ghosts all stare. He wants them to leave. To get away. To leave them the hell alone.
In the quiet Ben just screams
Back to H & C
After disposing the body, the trek back to the car. Take shit out and their plan.
By the time they get to the motel it is early morning (Hazel making a stop at Griddys maybe cuz I love Agnes woo)
They come to find the police surrounding the area. While hiding, they realize that the briefcase is still in the room
Cha-Cha hits her head against her seat. "Fuck."
Back to Klaus
Klaus meeting with God, and similar to canonical events here but no Dave. Hate rewriting canon scene so other than specifics i wont get into detail here. Klaus wonders what Ben would do now that hes gone
Klaus wakes up in the forest
Back to 1, 2 and 5
They arrive at the scene, Diego seeing Eudora standing in outside with a few other officers. They waste no time - Eudora is reluctant but tells Diego about the message. Diego manages to read the report (will figure out how) of the blood, the torture weapons and whatnot - the blood have already been sent to the lab to try and identify the victim. Diego continues to have a bad feeling, thinking about Klaus.
Thoughts are disrupted when theres a mention of a briefcase and Five immediately demanding it. (In the end he steals it)
They call a family meeting, everyone there sans klaus and viktor
Diego asks where Klaus is, but the others are unsure
Five redirects the focus back to the briefcase and the message he got by intercepting the commission
Allison talking about her concerns for vanya
Luther talking about the moon mission
Viktor coming in, getting angry, but Diego asks if shes seen klaus and she denies seeing him
Back to the woods
The ghosts surrounding him, its night and he sees Ben's face, whose face look like a ix of shock, grief and disbelief.
Klaus now alive, in the dark, stranded in the woods. Ben tries to help him find a way out but scared to stray too far away from his brother, still exhausted after his resurrection. Klaus appreciates it, the dark of the night causing him to flinch. Hes barefoot, barely in anythjng but a towel (i don't get where he got his coat in the show??? He wasnt wearing it when he was kidnapped, so just the towel for him).
Ben wants to ask him about what happened, Klaus can tell. But Klaus just shakes his head, not now. Not now. Ben instead tells him that he was dead for almost an entire day
He tries to find shelter somehow, needing to just get through the night
Later scene Ben is told about Reggies sewerslide
Viktor now at the Cabin in the woods with Leonard
While practicing her powers, channeling all the sounds she could, the wind in the trees, the sound of the insects buzzing, the animals running about and - ?
A voice. Human. Somewhere?
Vanya? Leonard asks. Viktor frowning but chalks it up to the anger hes feeling from his family. They go back inside for a break
Back to Klaus
Sad Chats with Ben
Finds a Helen Chos ghost, as she keeps screaming out "Vanya" in anger(? Maybe to help still undecided) leading them ose to the cabin until Klaus is too weak to carry on
Back at the Mansion
Lab Results coming back to find out its Klaus's blood
Chaos
H&C demanding briefcase, set up the exchange - them demanding their brother back but finding out that klaus had been shot
Briefcase gets destroyed
Allison finding out about Harold, who reports back to the others. Also finds out about Klaus's death
Allison goes to call Viktor
Back to the cabin
Gets the call, grief and resentment
Decide to train on their own at night, crying as they channel the sounds in the woofd
Once again hearS whimpers and cries, but is this grief
Viktor follows it to find klaus, illuminated in the moon light
His body is ice cold, eyes vacant - dead. Screaming, he tries to shake his brother, unaware of the the crackle of energy growing chaotic
Klaus gasping awake, Viktor crying in disbelief
Leonard running towards them, saying he heard the chaos from the cabin. Tho is shocked to see Klaus
They take him to the cabin, Viktor clutching his hand
Okay thats how much im typing for now but i had to get this all out and my thumbs hurt
Probs will add this to a doc somewhere when I'm home
TUA FIC IDEA (2)
Writing this here before I forget.
Really wanting some dark klaus and five fics and ended up dreaming of an AU where Five, working for commission and having a undercover mission to protect a major drug/crime lord somewhere in the early 2010s. The man is meant to play a major role in the timeline, and despite the abhorrent crimes he commits, he must stay alive.
Of these crimes involves sex trafficking/pimping out addicts from the streets.
Five believing this mission would be a quick, easy task. Routine. He's seen and protected horrible people, and he's also killed innocent people. All for the timeline. All to get back home and back to the family.
Unfortunately, while working undercover, he comes across some of the victims. Amongst them was a boy, young - maybe early 20s, he assumes. His skinny lanky frame making him seem small and fragile despite his tall frame. It takes a minute, maybe more, to see the the familiar green eyes, mop of curls that he remembers could never be tamed and the flash of his wrist exposing a tattoo identical to his own.
For a second, Five feels his breath stop along with his heart stop. His eyes wide, and normally quick mind screeching to a halt.
It couldn't be - it - the Handler wouldn't send him somewhere...but oh, she would. She would, and he knows this is some sort of cruel test. Because right there, crouched in the corner, with glazed, red rimmed eyes and marked, bruised skin is his brother.
Klaus.
Fuck.
AU where Five has to make a hard desicion
Spoiler stuff if i ever write this. None of this is edited, im genuinely just dumping ideas on my phone and storing it somewhere I do not forget
Some notes to remember (spoilers??? If i ever write this out)
youngKlaus (early 20s?)
Older Five, fic maybe in all or mostly thru his POV
Five must work undercover to protect the crime lord, acting as a right hand man for the man and needing to uncover who may kill the drug lord. Truly heinous shit involving drugs and sex trafficking.
Five has learnt to compartmentalize, keeping his emotions down despite the cruelty shown before him. Really dark stuff involving the events he witnesses.
Deciding where he wants to find Klaus as theres a bunch of options tho leaning towards being shown thru photos or thru a showcase where he's being sold.
Five knows that this is the Handler's sadistic way of testing his loyalty. He knows it.
He knows he shouldn't meddle. He needs to keep away.
But 45+ years of without his siblings has made the yearning strong. The need to protect. He knows Klaus will be there at the end for whe Five will return. He knows from burying an older version under hot rubble and dirt.
He knows.
But at what cost.
Against better judgement, he ends up talking to him, singling him out while undercover. His yearning to protect becomes stronger, and he knows this is dangerous, that he needs to focus only on the mission, to protect a man he so desperately wants to kill.
He needs to focus.
But he also needs to save his brother.
More stuff i think id want to add:
Five first thinking that Klaus is hallucinating but ends up discovering Ben
Klaus not recognizing Five at first due to the latter being 45+ years old (klaus later making a quip about Five needing a better skin care regime - and yes klaus is still a shit despite everything). Its only until much later that Klaus sees signs and Ben finding out and reporting back to Klaus - this makes things worse for Five when Klaus begs him to help him
Five having to witness the shit being done knowing that his younger brother has gone thru and will go thru the same unless he intervenes. But he cannot without getting on the Commissions radar
Vanyas book not yet written - in the original timeline, klaus escapes a year or so later as he dies (tho unaware) from an overdose and is body discarded as he was presumed dead. The book comes out after. Five doesn't mention the book.
ETA: may write a scene in a sequel of Klaus finding the book in Five's things - and despite the messy equations and writing littering the pages and the general state of the book, goes down a spiral. Five having to comfort Klaus, but unsure how as the book was (is) important for figuring out how the stop the apocolypse, his loyalty to Vanya but also because the book is biased and unfair towards klaus and the other siblings
Scene where Klaus ends up getting killed early due to being assumed as a spy. Lots of guilt and angst as Five blames himself
Spoilers for the end
Five ends up killing the drug lord. Finds Klaus alive - discovering immortality
Commission not happy - more trouble
Five can no longer bear to leave his brother - too much has happened and every part of Five yearns to protect his brother from the world.
Handler intervenes and, despite her taunts and cruelty, tells Five that the Commission will allow Klaus to come back to work alongside Five due to the unforeseen potential in his immortality
Five knows, though he doesnt say, that the Commission now has found a tangible weakness that could be use to manipulate Five. Despite this, he turns to Klaus and grips his hand, unwilling to let go.
Klaus agrees, albeit because he knows he has little choice.
Potential promise from the Commission for help with Klaus' powers
Maybe a prequel cuz i would love to write some bits of missions the two must go on and potentially apocolypse week
Older brother five and younger brother klaus- Would be funny to see, i think, this dynamic when they return back to the timeline with now five physically younger. May make klaus his age that his body was last in or also have the equations mess up and he is also little
Maybe its own one shot fic, maybe in the apocolypse fic -
After the death of the crime lord, many of the victims are set free with the police alerted. The undercover fbi/police that were taking the drug lord down (that Five was meant to protect him from) take down part of the ring and discover the major drug shipment. Along with this, the pictures of the victims that were used to sell them were uncovered through files/dark web
Diego, working on the force at the time, training under a detective to help uncover allies and connection to the ring and locate missing victims and/or where the bodies are being dumped, though the detective notes that most of these victims are addicts and/or prostitutes, easy victims who won't be missed
Diego looking through the files of the victims, locations and of the identified bodies. It's where he discovers pictures of Klaus (similar pictures to the one Five has seen in the first part). He is amongst the unidentified victims.
Cue angst. Klaus has been under the ring for over a year and has left with Five only weeks ago. Diego searching for his brother, only to come up short. Klaus is presumed dead or taken somewhere else. Diego is unsure which is worse
His vigilantism gets worse - he attempts to contact the others but it doesnt work.
At this point, Vanya publishes her book the following year. This leads to Diego to further spiral, dropping out of the police Academy
TUA FIC IDEA (3)
Had this idea for a long while but unsure how to go about it, but i legit wrote a whole prologue about it in my notebook that perhaps I'll type out eventually once I figure out *where* to go plotwise
Klaus centric, an AU where Klaus died on the day of his birth alongside his mother. His skin tinged blue, body cold and pallid.
Its only within the next hour after his birth does his heart beat again. The wails of the infant filling the small cabin, hands - still cold, freezjng - flailing against the white sheets covering him.
His aunt only could only slowly peel away the fabric, heart stuttering to reveal the same infant she saw before - blue, sickly, and corpse-like - yet wriggling, crying - alive, *alive*
The father rushes in to stare at the baby, watching at its eyes peel open to reveal white, milky irises.
The eyes of death.
Eyes of a curse.
Or an AU where Klaus looks more like the ghosts that haunt him rather. It changes a few things
Spoilers if I were to ever write this
Likely an explorative piece - I deal with p bad Body Dysmorphia and have from a young age so this likely will be a vent piece
Will be pre-season 1 - might go into apocolypse week but there'd be changes and if I do, this might turn into a multi-part series
Things I wanted to explore
His appearance:
Klaus essentially has pale white skin and is almost like a thin translucent layer that showcases the vivid blue and purple veins underneath
Rarely has a flush - often jealous at the others who go red even at the slightest compliment. He tries to slap and pinch his skin for it to do the same, nd despitr the heart beating under his skin, no blood comes to paint his cheeks pink underneath
Dry skin, always cold (he always carries a chill around him. Fun side note; its something his siblings appreciate during the hot summer months. Not so much during the winter)
Pallid - skin almost like rubber. Unnaturally so
Small detail that even the lids of his eyes have a spider web of little veins that he hates. Dark bags under his eyes
Irises are pale and white - like a film on top of them. Only a pale green hidden in his irises if he were to look hard enough. He wishes the green would break past the white film they hide behind, but they never do.
His pupils are more often then not dilated - when high, he likes stare at how they get smaller to reveal more of the pale green he wishes to see
Hes fairly thin, gaunt and struggles to gain muscle mass. Hr doesn't know however, if its from his condition or the lack of appetite
His lips are often chapped, dry and also always tinged purple
Klaus realizing he looks different amongst the others. Or rather, his siblings look different most of the people Klaus knows, all of whom, with the exception of his father and his robot mother, are dead. At first it wasnt that big of an issue, but Klaus couldnt help but notice people on the magazine covers that Allison liked to sneak in or on the pictures of people in their textbooks
It becomes more apparent when the kids start sneaking out and people take notice of Klaus, either recoiling in disgust, or fear - most people try to stay polite, but it's not hard to notice their flinching and stares when they see him
>>>Agnes is there and is the nicest to him, he sees her like a (human) mom he never had
As much as I love the sibbies, kids are cruel and do start commenting on Klaus being different. Reginald has little care for appearances but does not disuade the others from making comments
Comments turn to teasing, eventually become mean
Becomes more apparent at their debut, where magazine covers and media comment on Klaus's appearance - calling him creepy, strange, odd
>>>> one scene where they have a photoshoot and the photographers embrace his look. klaus is made to feel pretty for the first time
Klaus experiments with make up - does a horrible job (cuz hes a kid) and is made fun of for looking like a clown. Lots and lots of shame and klaus failing down a self hate spiral
More tough words - some isolation due to the strange aura he brings along with his appearance. Told by one of them that no one would love a corpse (during a fight - again, kids are mean)
Gets older and believes he's revolting to look at, the ghost calling him one of them. But he's not dead, he's not like them. He's alive. He's alive. (But is he?)
Five leaves - might do something of Five caring the least about his appearance. Hit him hard.
Klaus is now an unconfident teen, hides in clothes that are too big but still colourful to try and bring some sort of life. He still plays a little with make up - small bits to make him look less like a corpse and more (alive) like the others
Media and now others consider him like a bad omen, bringing in the haunted and could only lead to bad luck. His siblings start noticing this as well and begin to believe it to a degree. Klaus does as well
Still flighty and what not cuz ghosts are loud and hes trying to figure out a way to silence them - likely keeping the scene with the heels and discovering drugs
Fic would be dealing with self harm, intrusive thoughts and dissociation - klaus would be in his head a lot
in an alley, klaus desperate for some sort of numbing relief that he can no longer depend on stealing at the academy (Reginald had Grace hide all the opiods). Difficult for Klaus to get the drugs on the streets due to his appearance and death aura - his reputation still prevailing, along with his high status - people rather not deal with him
[[[TW: underage, drugging, sexual assualt, and non con; >>>>>>>>>>>>> at a party and klaus getting drugged and wakes up in someone elses home and in pain. He doesnt remember any of the night, but he can guesd from the aches and bruises what happened. He thinks, bitterly, that at least there was someone willing to fuck a corpse]]]
[[[[TW: Physical assualt; often beaten for his appearance (some even calling him of the devil or satanic - which would reference prologue i wrote in my book)]]]]]]
Ben's death still occurs (some part of klaus is jealous that ben looks more human than Klaus even as a ghost) and Ben follows him around after that and bears witness to Klaus's descent into depression and self hatred
Klaus becoming too afraid to leave the house but also needing the drugs - at a limbo
TW SUICIDE ATTEMPT: klaus offing himself, finding himself in the void with God. Notices his reflection (maybe thru the water or a mirror), for the first time, that despite his pale and colourless skin, he looks more alive than he ever did when he was actually alive (was he ever actually alive). His eyes, he notices, are green. Vibrant green. His fingers trace along his skin and he thinks, for the first time in his life, that he is pretty.
He wakes up. Ben is screaming and crying in the way only ghosts can. He barely registers it. Only scrambling back up to look at himself in the mirror to only cry when he once again looks like a corpse
Everyone but Klaus and Luther leave the academy, klaus still does drugs but not at hard due to struggling to find people to deal him and the fact that he's so ashamed of his appearance - deals with agoraphobia that worsens overtime
Luther and Klaus bonding - Klaus begining to trust Luther and Luther getting cracks in his rose tinted glasses. Starts to wonder if he should take Klaus to live somewhere safe, away from everything and everyonr - they only have each other
Vanyas book - talks about Klaus and his creepy aura. Ben is mad, Klaus just slinks further into depression and isolation. Luther is angry - soon after the accident and Luther undergoes his fathers serum
Luther and Klaus bonding over body image after Luthers accident! Luther now too ashasmed to leave but angry and frustrated. Klaus trying to be supportive
Some tentative things:
Roadtrip to Pennsylvania!! To see his mother to only find out the truth - sends him into further depression
Luther deciding between going to the moon - I am considering that he runs away with Klaus
Klaus still undergoing training with Reginald - discovering more of his powers over the ghosts
Powers may include that he is acrually able to control them - once again, issues of whether he is alive or not come into question. Ends up giving in to the ghosts as they chant "one of us" to him
Before that we could see some sibling bonding with the others - diego is the first to see him
>>>> perhaps when visiting Grace, Diego sneaks around to see if Klaus is still there - which he is, cue long talks and Diego coming by once in a while (and Klaus trying to convince Diego to also talk with Luther)
Klaus using his immortality as a method of escaping, God isn't happy but he has enough control to stay for a little while in a body that he feels like is actually his
Still debating about Luther going to the moon and leaving Klaus to Reggie or him finding a place with Klaus and escaping - Klaus laughing and calling all three of them (Luther is aware of Ben) a runaway circus act
If the former - klaus goes further under reggies training, so angst angst. Power increase but also lots of mania and trigger warnings
OOOOOR
If the latter, luther and klaus bonding, homelessness but also struggling to adjust to a society that outcasts them
Tempted to write both haha like an AU of an AU, the latter maybe the AU and the former may be what actually happens cuz it could help lead to the apocolypse week- but, considering I have like 5 fic ideas (not posted yet) that deal with apocolypse week, kinda tempted to do something else
KLAUS POWERS:
full control and communication with the dead, summoning and banishing ghosts, raise the dead (aka make the corporeal), immortality and regeneration, levitation, soul projection into the void
**tentatively, has some sort of control life and death like a grim reaper. If i incorporate this, then likely will have Reggie experiment this on him
Perhaps in a happy ending, Klaus gains the control and learns to banish the ghosts
Okay typed this all out in the lunch room - nothing is edited and I'm just spilling out the ideas I have. Nothing is edited and can be switched around or changed as I deadass typed this in one go.
Please do not copy my ideas as these may be used in a fic!! Potentially - I am very cautious about uploaded finished pieces but this fandom has me with so many ideas!!
If you'd like to chat about this fic idea (or any of my others) lmk! I'd love to have someone to talk about TUA with!!
Til then, see y'all in the next FIC IDEA post (or maybe an actual fic?? Who knows)
TUA FIC IDEA (4)
This has perhaps been done a few times but I was having fun with it in my head so might as well note what I thought down
Post S1 AU
Klaus wakes up to find himself back in his 13 year old body. While sure, they all managed to escape the apolcolypse alive for another do over, it kinda sucks when Klaus is the only one who remembers.
Sucks more when the Commission is still after his family.
Klaus was never one for responsibility.
Klaus gasps awake, eyes wide and frantic to the sight a familiar cieling. Where?
What?
The last thing he remembers is everyone at the Icarus theatre, the fucking moon hurtling towards them and pale, bright blue light surrounding all of his siblings - all of them, hand in hand.
He frowns, his hands feel empty.
Klaus feels his heart stutter, once, twice, before finally calming down to sit up and -
He's in his room.
Or what looks like to be his room.
It's smaller - the size it was before Vanya left and he broke the wall down to make room. Knick knacks that usually cluttered his space were not as plenty - his closet, still opened, pnly revealed identical uniforms spilling out.
Small, children sized uniforms.
Fuck.
It worked?
Immedietly he jumps out of bed, glancing down to pat his body - his old pint sized body in shock.
Holy shit, Five did it?
They made it back in time?
Klaus lets out a surprised giggle, not completely sure whether he should be happy or freaking out.
He glanced down at his palms and pursed his lips at the missing tattoos.
A shame.
___
Lots of sibling bonding cuz I live for it
Sibbie bonding moments:
Klaus only one who remembers
Commissions goes after Klaus, baiting him to join them or else they'll take Five and kills the rest of his family to only leave poor, volatile Vanya to end the world
Made worse because Five hasn't exactly told Klaus who the Handler was in the original timeline ("Goddammit Five," Klaus hisses. "The next time I see that shitheel we need to talk about a little thing called communication. Fuck!")
Made ironic is Klaus decides not to say anything to the siblings - he does try at first but is made to be maling up stories. In the end, he decides to do things on his own ("Who the fuck left me in charge?!" Klaus whines to himself, flopping backwards onto his bed. "Definitely wasn't Five. Fucker wouldn't tell me shit the last time." He lets out a huff, and stares up at his ceiling. "It was probably you, wasnt it?! Telling me it wasn't my time? Or is it just 'cuz you hate me - which, rude. What did I ever to you, huh? It's your fault you created me, not mine!)
Klaus and Five already have mutual companionship so Klaus tries to help convince Five to practice time travel with him (aka trying to prevent Five from running away that day.)
Eventually they come to an agreement to train in secret - Klaus believing that they need to work on physics (Klaus cringing, he never thought he'd be the one to convince Five, of all people, to study math. Five is just as skeptical that Klaus is the one advocating for this, which, fair. He's in disbelief as well. Hopefully this isnt a sign that the world is ending - again. He snickers.)
Quiet training together, as Klaus also attempts to practice his own powers as well. As Klaus is the most sober he's ever been, he attempts to summon Dave.
Five working through equations with Klaus, and them coming to the same conclusion that Five in season 2 - to work in seconds rather than years thing. Klaus is nervous that it'll fuck something up, but it's the only thing to appease the ever curious ans srubborn Five. It somehow ends up working
"Okay, so let's -"
"It worked," Five says suddenly, voice almost a whisper. He sounds completely in shock.
Klaus frowns. "What did?" He asks, but Five is staring down at his hands in wonder. Klaus takes a step forward.
"Five, buddy, you're kinda making me worrie-" but he was cut off by Five jerking his head up, smile wider than Klaus could ever remember. Happy, excited, proud - it makes Klaus take a second to stare. He doesn't remember Five looking so happy. Before he has another second, thin arms wrap around him - and just, what. Five has never been one for physical affection, even as a child. But just as the arms came, they went - Five probably thinking the same thing, judging by how fast he pulled away, face red in embarrassment. Klaus huffs out a laugh. "Care to explain, Five-O?"
Five looks away. Clearing his throat as he straightens his back. "I traveled. Back in time. Two minutes ago. Or...what was two-minutes ago. It, uh, worked essentially."
A beat before Klaus smiles, heart swelling with pride before deciding, fuck it and jumping to hug Five on his own. His brother hisses, trying to protest and pull away, but Klaus only wraps his arms tighter. "This is definitely hug worthy," he laughs. "A celebration!"
Klaus begins to check up on Vanya, seeing how she is. At first she is suspicious, resentful and Klaus could swear he can see the hidden white light underneath her dark eyes. He sighs, and instead asks if he could listen to her play. Opens up about the ghosts- it takes time to explain, the drugs and what not- especially to a sheltered 13 year old. But despite the anger Vanya has built up over the years in his original timeline, theres still time know. Time to fix and undo all the hurt. She agrees and starts to understand, espcially when Klaus hints at how the pills help Vanya stay "less anxious" (he cringes at it, but he will get Vanya away from those pills, he has a plan that he hopes will help).
At times she begins to get jealous of Klaus and Five hanging out more together - Klaus brings her to their training sessions. At first she is hesitant - ordinary Vanya for training on powers that she doesn't have?
Klaus brings Allison out to training one day, despite her annoyance. She didn't need any extra training, but Klaus and her have been closer when they were children and she was curious as to what both her and Five have been sneaking off to. During one of these sessions, he challenges Allison to undo any potential rumours on the three of them (Allison is offended at first but Klaus convinces her that they need to be on a blank slate, no after effects of any old rumours Father made her use while training or on accident). Rumour on Vanya is now broken (also some extra ones they didn't even realize they had - Klaus tries not to be bitter). Vanya doesn't realize this until much later
Klaus hasn't been on any of the hard drugs, only alcohol and weed - but the mind does not forget. He asks Allison to rumour him into staying sober - it has the desirable effects but also, his sanity feels at its limits due to the constant ghosts surrounding him (HE'S UNDER A LOT OF STRESS). He uses his time with Five to train his abilities as well
Takes Vanya to Griddys with Five and Ben (her closest friends) and talks about the pills. She has a self confidence ever since the rumours were removed and they give her the confidence to ween herself off as Klaus notes that drugs affect powers (Vanya doesnt feel ordinary anymore, so believes theres potential of her having powers). Klaus promises to stay the same (despite him already vowing to stay sober and thanks to Allison's rumour - but he doesnt say that. Content with Vanya trying to ween off the pills)
Klaus keeps watch, training Vanya with the others start. Klaus hinting at her powers and they start to show and hiding it from dad (maybe she remembers what happened after some things come to light)
Vanya coming to terms with their gender identity - opens up and asks to go by Viktor. (All pronouns from here on out will switch to he/him)
Klaus comic book powers start to come to light - getting stronger! Also able to banish ghosts - still not a lot but enough so
Ben and him bonding over powers, but Klaus struggles around Ben. Ben eventually confronting him about it as it did put a strain in their relationship. They talk about life, Klaus eluding to feeling alone and unwanted - Ben vowing that he's here for Klaus, through thick and thin. (A part of his heart breaks while another fills - its a conflicting feeling that Klaus does not yet understand. He can only smile, feeling the tears suddenly streaming down his cheeks. Ben, to his credit, doesn't comment, instead keeping his hand - warm, strong, secure - over Klaus's own. I know, he wants to say despite the lump in his throat preventing him from even taking a single breath. I know.)
BEN: Klaus sees Ben and remembers all the years they spent together in the original timeline. It hits him that Ben no longer has any memories together. If Klaus were to really reflect on it, it's probably a lot better for Ben that he does not remember, but somewhere in Klaus's heart he yearns for the brother that stuck with him for almost two decades. He has to move on (didnt he lose too much already?).
Vows to save Ben and let him live- not wanting his brother to confine to him anymore, even if it hurts. He grieves for a brother that once was. They all try to help Ben control the Horror in his stomach during training. *At some point during that mission, Klaus sacrifices himself to the horror due to his immortality. His body is obliterated - trauma for ben who wakes up covered in Klaus's blood. His body at this point needs to be re healed (takes time)
LUTHER: Time with Luther is a little awkward as the two of them have never been close in childhood and even less so as adults. Some part of Klaus feels like he has to save Luther too but he just does not know where to start, especially with the how the others are beginning to look at Klaus as a leader. Lots of fights - but Klaus remembers the Luther of his own timeline, isolated, manipulated and hurt. He keeps trying.
ALLISON: Allison and him were pretty close as kids often bonding over more feminine things that the others were not interested in. Trust is pretty simple to build there. One of these moments is where Klaus asks about the rumour soberity rumour
DIEGO: Diego and him were often the rebellious of the seven children. Their friendship as children was made stronger over their mutual hate for their father. There's a weird rift between the two now that Klaus has assumed a more leader position (despite the fact that Klaus did not want this position in the 1st place). At some point Diego calls him out for trying to be the new number one and "Daddy's bitch boy". Klaus decides that it is high time that he continues someone's rebellious streaks with Diego because because he may be a 30 year old man in a 13 year old body, but it does not mean that he does not know how to have fun.
Scene where Klaus finds out that, due to time travel and timelines, Klaus has not yet met Dave in Vietnam. He looks at the picture in a textbook (similar to the one in the Vet Bar, and sees that he is no longer in the picture). Klaus becomes depressed for a bit - sibbies are concerned. They try to cheer him up (they are closer now!)
Klaus stuff:
Still going thru special training
It was the night after a special training that Klaus begs Allison to please rumour his powers away. He did not need them - and at some point, he is tempted to take Viktor's medication (perhaps he does at one point to see if it could just his own off)
Despite his siblings now closer and bonding, Klaus feels completely alone. He's here, but he's completely disconnected and holding himself by the seems. He has to get this right because, otherwise, what does he have left?
Immortality shit comes in - meets God and has some words
Wonders how tf he got stuck on his own - wonders where the rest of his siblings are. Wonders if it's better that they are healing now, younger and more carefree compared to the ones he came to know years into the future. Is it bad to wish for the ones he once knew? Ones that he barely even spoke to, if only to have someone around to understand what is happening - what is going on? It is during these times he yearns for his brother, hating himself for preferring the dead sibling who has been there and understood him for so long over the very much alive, happier brother who barely knows a single thing about him. Honestly, he's so fucking selfish.
Commission stuff
Around where Klaus starts to make changes the commission tries to intervene with a mission to eliminate Klaus Hargreeves
Harder for the Commission to intervene when they are under the watchful eye of Sir Reginald Hargreeves. There's another shoot out attempt at the mansion - but Ben uses the Horror in the end to kill them all. The others think it's just someone targetting the academy itself, but Klaus recognizes the masks similar to his previous kidnappers. The Commission.
Initially tries to see if his father could help, but is proven fruitless
During a time out, perhaps with Ben and Diego, the Commission attacks them near an alley way. Both Diego and Ben fight back, Klaus who is not as skilled (thanks to not having years of combat training) (or have """useful""" powers in a fight) tries to fight back. One assasin manages to reach Klaus and effectively shooting him in the heart and head - instant kill
Cue diego and Ben screaming, the Commission leaving and believing their job is done - but not before Ben wipes them all out in rage, Diego trying to calm Ben down when the Horror gets too much while also trying to get to Klaus (who's dead , dead , dead)
Interlude - some divine revelation
Klaus waking up to the commotion and helping calm Ben down, who, along with Diego is shocked
The siblings learn about Klaus's immortality (reggie maybe finds out from Luther later). The Commission also finds out - this causes uproar at HQ. How do you eliminate something you cannot kill??
Determined that Ben would need to be eliminated as he is a major threat and was what forced the others to drift in the original timeline
Klaus, maybe at this point being able to have some control of the ghosts, catch wind about Ben being followed. Klaus sticks beside Ben, (Klaus kaughs at the irony of now him hovering over his once deceased brother, trying to keep him safe and alive. Oh how the tables have turned.) - may remove this though. Lots of fighting commission
The Handler comes to see Klaus but Klaus has never seen her before, The lady in red heels talks to him in the most condescending yet chirpy manner that leaves him feeling unsettled. She threatens to take Five away, condemning his brother to the same fate as before if Klaus were to not comply ("Your family for the sake of the timeline, Klaus," she says, smoke swirling from her lips. "You decide.")
"You're brother is a natural born killer," she sneers, her smile tight lipped and shark like. "All he needs is someone to just point him in the right direction." - Klaus get furious here, remembering all the times his Five was anything but.
Klaus going missing thanks to the Commission kidnapping him - manages to escape after a week. Siblings demanding to know what the fuck is happening with him
Klaus comes clean - siblings are in shock but also determined to help (perhaps this is like - a year or two after the time jump, ill figure out a timeline later). Lots of talk about Klaus intentions (Viktor asking if Klaus only befriended him because of the timeline - but Klaus promises him that he did it for them)
Ending????? Subject to change
All sibbies gearing up for the next time the Commission comes after them. All of them bonded and shit - they end up fighting with the Commission taking Klaus and putting him at HQ to be quarantined
Sibbies end up finding their way there where the Handler talks to Five like she knows him. Revealing to him what he once was, a killer and shit. She also shit talks all the other siblings - perhaps showing them glimpses of what once was. ("A shame," she laughs. Her hands are clutching Fives jaw and despite the fear he feels, he cannot shake her away. "I much prefer you when you were nothing but my murder puppet.") - potentially here is where their past consciousness start to trickle in (smthin about temporal anomolies idk)
They all fight, using their powers and what not, to escape and grab Klaus to head back. But they get ambushed - the handler back, Klaus in her grip. All the siblings are shot, sans Five, with a screaming drugged Klaus in her grip. She taunts at Klaus and Five, calling the former a useless junkie who could not save his family just like his brother. Five is injured and weak - same scene as s2 but links back to the scene with klaus where he goes back in time in minutes. Everyone is revived, they kill the Handler and Five just looks at Klaus, says something witty but a call back to that scene
He nods and they both pass tf out with their family surrounding them
Epilogue likely
Thanks to the Commission, the memories of the past merges together? Potentially
Either way, reggie is gone thanks to either Allison rumouring him away or "sudden death". Living at the Academy with their inheritance, happy ending woo!
