#Just send soft Klave

[nikkiwriteswords]

Why do you ship Klave?

I... have not actually thought about that before, anon. Huh. The simple answer is, he makes Klaus happy. Klaus is my trash baby and deserves some softness. I also love the tragedy of it all. I can't help it, I'm a sucker for whump.

The more complex meta answer would have to be: he is the impetus for change in Klaus. Admittedly all we see of Dave is Klaus's romanticised memories. However, those memories drive Klaus to be a better person and I ship that. Klaus himself says, "He was the only person I've ever loved more than myself." For an admittedly self-serving person like Klaus, this selflessness is groundbreaking. (But does he really love himself hmmm) But more important to Klaus's character development is the fact that Dave becomes his driving force behind getting sober and accepting his powers. It's reductive to Dave's character, unfortunately, to render him a literary device akin to a holy grail but tbf we don't get much of him as a 3D character anyway.

That said, would I like to see Klaus achieve his goal and manifest Dave in s2? Shipper heart cries yes. But would it benefit Klaus's character arc?..... No. No, yes. Wait. No. I don't know, I just feel at this stage Dave suddenly appearing and sticking around would undermine the whole thing.

It's ultimately not Dave's validation we're invested in for Klaus, but his family's. The barber shop scene kinda affirms this, in a way. Dave's presence is there, is the reason Klaus walks into that place, but he finds something else: recognition from Reginald. He finds out he has potential. He is handed responsibility. And baby blooms with it.

He has purpose, he has potential. He has a lover to see and a world to save. And a brother to find, first of all.

A/N: * i called pairs like this instead of ships because some pairs are siblings, so pairs mean either a romantic couple or just a platonic feeling between siblings

* the ones without links are playlists that are not finished yet, but ive already started working on them

* feel free to send me a request on a specific pair or fandom and i might make a playlist for it! but usually i want to be emotionally involved into the stuff i do, so... just dont be afraid to message me and we will figure something out!

* playlists with 🌹 is my personal favourite, i recommend, hehe

have a great day! <3

Do you only write sex fics or would you ever write something just romantic and soft?

Honey, I will write whatever you want (within reason). Send me a request and I’ll see what I can do. I’m not promising anything - I work full-time and I’m a painfully slow writer, but if there is something specific you wanna see, just pop an ask in my inbox or send me a message. I’ll try my best. (I’m currently looking to do some character fics, so maybe bear that in mind).

In the meantime, why not check out my Klave fic Valentine’s Day in Vietnam. It’s smut free (mostly) and fluffy as fuck.

I also happen to think Makeup is pretty romantic, especially Part 3 (which is also the smuttiest section, whoops! 🤭🤭). You could always skim over the filth and and just read the hardcore hand-holding parts.

Enjoy this cuddly Robbie, chaste anon. May he bless your dreams with gentle hair stroking and foot rubs.

Please send all soft TUA fic recs that won’t make me hurt or cry :’) Also open to crack lol. Just... not angst, not intense hurt/comfort.

Ideally <10k because my head and eyes are killing me....

I’ll happily read Kliego, Biego, Benkliego, Horrance, Fiego... IDK, y’all should know my tastes by now. [Altho... No Klave please!]

I don’t care if it’s shippy or not. I kinda love happy fics of them when they’re younger too, and no ships are involved.

I’m just.

It seems I’ve VERY MUCH broken the dam on my tears and have barely stopped crying in the past 16hrs, except for 6hrs of sleep.

And yeah! Just soft stuff, that won’t make me cry, please and thank you <3

[And... if you want, I can put together a rec list if I get enough sent to meeee! I love making rec lists and sharing the love for people!!!]

[not-oscar-wilde]

the uk has just been put into a third lockdown and idk when I’m going to be allowed to see my friends or family again in any way or if/when I will be able to graduate or find full time work when everything is so fucked 🙃🙃🙃

so if you have any soft klave headcanons or concepts please send me them bc I could do with some cheering up rn

#i'm just.... hopeless #the vaccine roll out is going so badly it could be 2022 before i get it #i just want something cute and good and happy #txt

A Spirit Who’s Spent in Death (Do Your Weeping Now) [teen rating. wip. klave. typical hargreeves family nonsense] There's something off about him - more so than usual. The way he moves, the way he reacts - or, the way he doesn't - the way he looks at things as if he's peering at everything through a rippling pool of water; it's the way in which he sits and in his appearance, too. He moves as if he's a ghost, or as if he might think that he is one.He sits, looking like a corpse among them, pale and wilting like a dead flower, and he hardly says a word. Diego doesn't know what to do. Luther does.

At the Edge of the Universe  [teen rating. wip. klave. canon divergence. typical hargreeves family nonsense] Or, Dave doesn't die, but he and Klaus get injured and discharged. They move to a little cottage in the countryside and live together, perfectly content, until they get a group of surprise visitors. Five tries to send them all into the past to avoid the end of the world, and is drawn right to Klaus.

Family Role  [teen rating. wip. klave. parent!klaus. typical hargreeves family nonsense] Klaus doesn't want to go to the funeral. He's got all the family he needs right here in the form of his deceased brother reading in the armchair nearby, his bookworm fiance mixing a cup of coffee in the kitchen, and the sleeping six year old on his lap. Or, in which Klaus meets Dave, falls in love, and finds himself with a six year old daughter and a relatively normal life and, somehow, arguably the most normal one out of his siblings now.

It’s All Over But the Crying  [mature. klave. typical hargreeves family nonsense] Two days after Reginald Hargreeve's funeral, Number Four finally showed up; striding into the academy with skin as pale as snow, lipstick and nails and clothes as dark as the night, and kohl-lined eyes as fierce as a feral wolf and a grin just as sharp.Or, in which drugs don't affect the ghosts anymore, so Klaus, over the years, comes to live with his powers and learns some more. He's not okay, but who needs to be okay when God herself doesn't like you?

Soldier Boy  [teen rating. wip. klave. amputation. hurt/comfort] Klaus returned from Vietnam feeling a bit like a ghost, covered in dirt and blood, and all but dragging himself back to the Academy. It probably would have been easier to drag himself the way, too, what with a shoddy 70s prosthesis replacing his right leg. Who has time for the apocalypse when it seems like the worst has already happened?

There is Love with No Hiding [teen rating. wip. klave. typical hargreeves family nonsense] "He's my... he's my boyfriend." He looks back at him and, with a small smile on his face, Dave nods, and Klaus turns back to Diego. "Yeah, he's my boyfriend." He laughs because that feels so good to say. Or;Dave doesn't die and they return to the future after twenty-seven months in Vietnam. It complicates things, but maybe for the better.

SERIES

Details  The last time Klaus saw his siblings was at Allison and Patrick's wedding. A lot had changed since then; including the not-so-accidental, irreversible loss of his sight. There's no time to tell them that, though. Not with the return of their long-presumed-dead brother and the impending apocalypse. Plus, it doesn't matter. He's got Ben as a good seeing-eye ghost.  

Gunfire Sounds Like Home  All of them have been trying to process what happened and are trying to be hopeful for the future, but Diego still feels utterly horrible, like the worlds worst brother, as he sits down in the sudden family meeting he called. "Klaus," he states, looking at the four siblings in front of him, "hasn't been seen for almost a week. "They search all his known spots: cheap motels, deep alleyways, old drug dens. In the end, they find him in a history book.Or, in which Klaus doesn't return from Vietnam.

Marching Drums  Klaus post-vietnam

Numbers  The briefcase transports Klaus into a time to fall in love with a bookshop owner and photography enthusiast with soft amber eyes and a yellow star sewn into all of his clothes. And later, Klaus will stand next to that same man behind a fence, and he'll hold his hands up to a camera and pray to a merciless god that his siblings open a history book and find him.

Specialize in Dying  Attempting to save them, Five tries to travel back in time with all his siblings. Instead, they go forwards into the apocalypse.Klaus sees all of the ghosts.

Prompt 9 for Klave, hurt/comfort?

I’m sorry I punched you in the face. 

Sorry not sorry for how angsty this got!

—

Klaus’ childhood training (trauma) rears its ugly head at the strangest (and worst) moments.

He won’t admit it to himself - at least not out loud to anyone other than Ben - but it’s definitely a form of post traumatic stress disorder. He has his triggers. They all do. They’re different for each of them, of course - each sibling has their own fucked-up shit that puts into their own little unique downward spiral - but they all have them, and they all handle it differently.

(For instance, for someone who throws fucking knives, it comes as a surprise that Diego still flinches whenever someone unexpectedly raises a hand at him or throws something in his direction. Vanya has always been sensitive to loud noises and Klaus has always wondered what their father did to her when none of them were watching.)

Klaus knows intimately that his main trigger is confined spaces. It makes sense, after all of those nights locked in the mausoleum, but he never really realized it until one night at a party, he nearly had a panic attack when locked in a closet playing a rather innocent game of seven minutes in heaven.

But apparently, at thirty years old, he’s still getting to know himself, because it isn’t until he’s in Vietnam, walking the perimeter of camp on his own that he realizes that deep down, he’s still one of daddy’s little soldiers. It happens so fast, Klaus barely even registers what he’s done until he’s kneeling over none other than a terrified and surprised looking Dave, who lies beneath him on the forest floor. One moment, Klaus is by himself, trying to block out the sounds of nearby spirits (because it’s been three days since his last good hit and they’re starting to slip though) and the next, there’s a hand on his shoulder and suddenly, all those years of training are kicking in as he spins around, using the other man’s weight against him and laying him out on the damp ground before he can even think about what he’s doing.

Fifteen minutes later, as he and Dave sit underneath a nearby tree and Klaus examines his injuries - he’s sporting a pretty good shiner and swollen lip - Klaus can’t help but feel ashamed and embarrassed. And Dave - beautiful, perfect Dave - simply smiles.

“Sorry I punched you in the face,” Klaus mutters, his fingers stopping short of Dave’s chin as he reaches out to touch him, albeit gently this time. Dave doesn’t flinch when he reaches out, but that doesn’t stop Klaus from feeling guilty when he looks the other man in the eye. It’s pathetic, really, that this was his reaction to Dave trying to pay him a surprise visit when no other soldiers were nearby. Honestly, they should be spending this time enjoying each other’s company and instead, Klaus punched him in the fucking face.

“Hey,” Dave’s gentle voice shakes him out of his thoughts before he can get too lost in them, and Klaus comes back to earth when calloused fingers wrap around his wrist. “It’s fine. I shouldn’t have snuck up on you like that.”

Klaus simply shakes his head in response. “No I -” he stops himself short, the words caught in his throat and for a moment, he wonders if this is what Diego feels like when he can’t get them to come out. “I hurt you. Jesus, Dave. I have a fucking gun. What if I -”

“But you didn’t,” Dave argues gently, stopping that thought short before Klaus has a chance to vocalize it. He reaches out, slowly, carefully, and when Klaus doesn’t shy away, he places a hand softly on his face, thumb grazing his sharp cheekbone. “You didn’t, and I’m fine. I promise. I have an older brother. It’s not the first time I’ve taken a mean right hook.”

Klaus snorts, but the laugh doesn’t touch his face. “I know, but -”

“But nothing,” Dave interrupts, voice turning a little more stern. “This is what we’re trained to do, remember?”

This is what we’re trained to do.

If only Dave knew the weight that those words had. Hell, maybe he should know.

When Klaus looks back up at him, Dave is still gazing at him, as if he could read Klaus’ mind if he just looked hard enough. Hell, maybe he can, because after a beat of silence, his expression softens and his hand moves to cradle Klaus’ head as if he’s the injured one, fingers carding through his hair. 

And without any idea of the can of worms he’s about to open up with just one simple question, he asks, voice soft, “You wanna talk about it?”

And for the first time in his life, yeah, Klaus does.

He leans into the touch.
