#ben and klaus
Text
tua season 2 slight au where klaus makes ben visible to others and the second he’s got him corporeal - interactable and visible, that’s how he keeps ben 
and, let’s be real, for all we say that ben’s the sensible one - theyre two halves of a whole idiot
so, anyway,
klaus is knees deep in rich ppl society and sometimes he makes ben visible
right?
and the thing is
klaus sees ghosts like he sees ppl but other ppl see ghosts like theyre blue and translucent
and thats how ben appears at first
but the more klaus works on his powers and ben gets less glowy- theres still a faint glow, but its easy to think of it as a trick of the light unless you know what to look for
but klaus doesn’t realize that ben initially shows up blue and translucent he’s just trying to see how much he can do with his powers in regards to ben - how long can he keep him visible ? can he be visible but still untouchable ? can he interact with the living world but not be visible ? can he change his clothes ? can he change his hair ? etc etc
the less blue thing is just a side effect neither klaus nor ben notice
but ya know who notices ?
klaus’ cult
klaus’ cult who are convinced that klaus is a prophet and ben’s a god
and klaus and ben are completely unaware
i think itd be even funnier if neither realized that they had started a cult for a long while until someone approached them and referred to klaus as prophet
and even then they dont realize ben’s role 
ben thinks everyone avoids him because he’s just klaus’ brother but hes not the “prophet”
on the other hand, every one avoids “god” because he only talks to the prophet
minds are fucking blown when klaus calls him his brother btw

Part of me would love for Umbrella!Ben to come back but I just know my heart would break for Sparrow!Ben, who would feel so jealous and hurt over Klaus and the others being excited about his return that he’d push them away to stop himself from getting hurt

Someone else suggested the idea that ghost Ben would find sparrow!Ben an intolerable asshole, but I couldn’t find the post. Please let me know if it was you or you know who posted it!

Ben’s First Time (fanfic)
Hey, It’s me again. Will I write one new piece of fanfiction every day forever? probably not, but right now I’m hyperfixated on Klaus and his many many deaths, so let’s go!
A little warning: this story has non-con aspects, drug abuse and Klaus is a teen while going through it, since it happens shortly after Ben’s death. proceed with caution, ok? Be safe, love you
.
Ben’s First Time
Ben was dead. He died. He felt absolutely lonely. 
When it first happened, he was scared of never knowing if his family was ok, if they made it. And he was scared of being alone. And he was scared of leaving Klaus alone.
For some years now, Klaus had been drowning himself on drugs. At first he used his allowance, then he sold his own books and old toys and shit. Lately he’d sell things from the house and clearly couldn’t care less about his punishments. More and more, all that mattered to him was getting high beyond limits.
And Ben. For some reason he still cared about Ben. Maybe it was a two way street, after all Ben would get him water, food or buckets for throwing up when he was being punished by his unhappy body. Maybe not, since it came from before that. 
Klaus would come to his room, smoke by the window or drink something sitting by his bed while Ben read. Specially after some mission that left Ben all bloody drenched. His presence soothed Ben’s heart, made him feel safe. Klaus would hug him when he cried and tell him those people he killed were not there to haunt him. And he would beat up any ghost that dared to approach his little brother.
Ben wished his presence made Klaus feel safe as well. Or that he could beat the crap out of those ghosts that kept haunting him. Even through the wall, he could hear when he snapped and screamt back at them, it was heartbreaking.
And now he was the ghost that haunted his brother. How glad he was when Klaus didn’t show fear when he saw him. But it hurt him seeing how sadly he’d look at him every time, in every conversation, in every joke, in every laugh. At first Ben thought it was because he was dead, but being now his brother’s shadow, he could see that, in reality, Klaus was a really unhappy person.
And those drugs he used to hide from the ghosts were also used to hide him from his own life.
And now from Ben.
Of course Ben was still there, but apparently Klaus couldn’t see him. He looked for him. And shortly after, he gave up. “Must’ve gone to heaven. Why would he stay here?” 
And he walked down the street, stumbling on his own feet. Laughing sadly at himself sometimes. And Ben followed.
He felt lonely watching his brother dance at that crowded party. Watching him being touched by people so much older than him, people who gave him even more drugs as the party went on. Ben couldn’t stop himself from crying when that massive guy took Klaus with him to some backroom.
Klaus couldn’t say one thing clearly, but Ben had the impression he was more “taken there” than he “went with him there”. He seemed to be trying to pull his hand from that guy’s grip, but failing since he seemed to be so weak from all that shit he used. It was impossible to tell if those tears on his cheek were from fear or from all the smoke he got on his face just a minute ago.
Ben couldn’t bring himself to go into that room with them. This was too much and for the first time he was glad the sound was so absurdly loud. He hated it there. Was that what Klaus was doing every time he sneaked out during the night? Was it from there he came from when he was covered in puke and drinks and Ben had to clean him up for bed?
It wasn’t too long before the door was opened again and that disgusting guy came out of there in a hurry, not looking back.
If Ben’s heart was still pumping, it would have skipped a beat. The room was dark and he couldn’t see any movement, he was so worried.
As he gathered courage to go in, he kept telling himself that Klaus went to his night adventures many times before and he always got home safe and sound. He must’ve known what he was getting into. Sometimes he looked like he died? Sure. But he was alive every time. He couldn’t simply die the first time Ben was there, right?
And when he got in he could see the thin body of his brother fallen on the wet floor. His clothes all messed up, his hair pulled in all directions. His face was turned against the wall, Ben couldn’t see it.
“Klaus!” He fell on his knees by his side and instinctively tried to push him to lie on his back, but his hands went through him. He cried. “KLAUS, PLEASE!” 
He barely could see anything. He just found out ghost tears were a thing and they made things even harder to see in the dark, panicking. He wanted to understand if the dark floor was wet from piss, drinks or blood. He couldn’t smell anything. He was absolutely useless.
Maybe Klaus drank this much because he was harder than the other ghosts to send away. Maybe it was all his fault, for dying, for being there. Maybe if he could’ve convinced Klaus earlier of not taking those pills, or even before that, when it was not even noon and he was already drinking from father’s bar, he wouldn’t be in that state. He would be fine and safe elsewhere.
Ben had no idea what to do. He couldn’t do a thing. So he just sat there, crying. Alone.
Too long had already passed. No one set foot at that place, the party kept going and Klaus didn’t move.
Ben was almost admitting his brother was dead when he suddenly jumped, breathing so loudly Ben was able to hear it. He sat on the floor and brought his hands over his heart, as if he was trying to see if it was really beating, and then he clasped his own face as if to see if he still had a body. Closed his eyes, covered his ears and let himself breathe slowly.
“Klaus…” the sad smile that let out that name had his own eyes glued to that dirty boy in front of him. And as if he could hear a ghost, Klaus looked at him with the brightest smile he’s shown Ben in years.
“Benedito! You’re here!” And for a split second he rubbed his eyes before hugging himself. “Man, I wish I could hug you right now, I had the worst badtrip!” Ben made the same gesture of hugging himself, trying not to cry again. “I couldn’t see you and then I passed out and I dreamt I spent a loooong time looking for you in this really strange place. There was this girl and she wouldn’t help me at all and no one knew who you were and…” 
And he kept telling Ben about this place he made up in his high mind while he fixed his clothes and headed back to the academy. For some reason he looked happier than he was this morning, or maybe he was still high.
“Sleeping is the best, right? What was that position I slept in? hahaha But I sure feel as good as new after closing my eyes for a while…”
Ben could barely pay attention, since he was so thankful his brother was ok, so he didn’t notice that the red shirt Klaus was wearing used to be white before the party.
But for some reason, maybe intuition and fear, he sat by his brother’s bed and watched him sleep until the next day, afraid that he wouldn’t wake up this time if there was no one there waiting for him.
..
some notes
Hope you enjoyed your reading! don’t forget to check out the other oneshots where I try to imagine the ways Klaus died. My tag is “Brascu kills Klaus” since I still don’t have a name for the series.
I feel like Ben is going to end up being my second protagonist, since I feel he watched his brother die too many times... anyway! See you next time <3

OH HOW I MISS BEN AND KLAUS

AU where when Klaus finds the hidden notes about their mothers, he gets hold of not only his mom’s information but also Ben’s and soon as they know who their mothers are they go in a journey to find about their origins instead of waiting.
And it could go many ways:
It could be Klaus and Ghost Ben where Ben was there when Klaus find the notes and Klaus’ steals from Reginald in order to make both the trip to Pennsylvania and later to South Korea, with a heartbreaking moment with Ben’s family as Klaus has to tell them about Ben’s death.
It could be a Ben Lives AU where their relationship is strained and Klaus gets Ben’s information as a way to convince Ben to take him to Pennsylvania and they end up reconnecting with each other in the process.
Maybe Klaus grabs all the notes from Reginald’s desk and convince everyone to tag along in finding their mothers.
Or could be Klaus and Sparrow Ben after the timeline is reset, and when they get to South Korea they not only find Ben’s family but also find a Ben who was never taken by Reginald (going by the theory that the Ben in the train in the post credit scene is either a resurrected Umbrella Ben or a different Ben all together).
Which scenario doesn’t matter, all I want is Klaus and Ben going into a journey of self discovery together and for them to get to know their mommies :’)
