LUTHER HARGREEVES:

Luther met you when he landed in the 1960s

You were under quiet protection from Jack Ruby and had been for several years until Luther quite abruptly came into the picture

It had been an uncharacteristically mundane night at the Carousel Burlesque and you were working behind the counters where you preferred to be

It meant good money and (slightly) less trouble from customers for you what with the 18 inches of oak separating you from everyone else

Now being Jack Ruby's right hand man meant Luther was always on his feet dealing with one brute or another who was either getting too handsy or too rowdy

Especially at the Carousel, so he really never got a chance to slow down, always on his feet, never getting a chance to rest

And this also meant he had been quite taken aback to have finally noticed you on a slow Tuesday night/Wednesday morning well into his first couple weeks

He had just sent away another drunk straggler begging to bring the place trouble when he returned to his post, arms folded and his back against the wall as he scanned the floor

That's when he spotted a striking young woman wiping down the bar with a certain crease in her brow and faded white rag; something right out of an old movie

She was trading laughs and passing jokes around with one of the girls waiting tables, Autumn, who had come to refill her tray with an unusual amount of interest.

And then you stepped in making this cheeseball's heart skip an actual beat, half smirk on your face and a roll of your eyes as you took the rag from the distracted woman and mumbled something Luther barely caught,

"You clearly can't be trusted, now gimme that."

The woman giggled and slipped around you and further back behind the bar and out of sight. "Sorry, hon,"

"Just get back to work, and quick," you called back, sounding pressed. Your fond grin betrayed your tone, however, and Luther found it infectious. "You know how Jack feels about presentation,"

"I know, darlin, I know. Can't blame a girl for having some fun, though,"

You smiled again, and leaned in a little. "As long as you finally come clean to the poor girl one of these days. I know she's been sweet on you just about as long as I've been here,"

Embarrassed but smiling like an idiot, your co-worker officially fled to the back for her unknown duties as she called out to you. "Thought we needed to get the counters done, Y/n~?"

I feel like I gotta put that out there before I continue any further─

You never once took his shit a day in your life and that includes first encounters

"I thought Jack hired you to toss out all the lookie-loos, not join in," were the first words you ever spoke to him. your eyes were still locked on the stubborn beer stain on the mahogany, but tired, and unimpressed, you dropped the rag and propped yourself against the bar and looked up at the man across the way

Luther gulped, his skin flushing a flaming red from his brow down to his shoulders when he realized you were talking to him. "You gonna keep starin' or is there something I can help you with, big guy?"

"My apologies," he'd said, all very quickly. "I just have been working here for about a month now, and erm, I don't know-- I realized I hadn't seen you before and I guess I--," he shook his head, and gave up immediately and flashed a tight, apologetic smile. "I'm sorry. Won't happen again,"

You had dropped the rag and any attention you held on your task after some consideration. "Luther, right?"

After a moment, he nods, not realizing you knew his name.

"Jack speaks highly of you," you said to him. Narrowing your eyes, you looked him up and down. He would have been more worried had it not been for the small smile playing at the ends of your lips. "I haven't decided yet,"

Luther gulped, swallowing any nervous rambles itching to escape. Instead, keeping himself composed, he managed to gesture to the open barstool across from you, "This seat taken?"

You rose a inquisitive brow, the smile still lingering on your lips and the flutters inhabiting Luther's stomach turned into knots of panic

"You're serious?" When Luther didn't say anything your smile grew in amusement. "Mister, you're still on the clock. Believe me, you don't want to end up on Jack's shit list,"

Luther could feel his cheeks flushing pink again. He nodded quickly, flashing a nervous smile, "Of course. My bad,"

You laughed at that. But it wasn't mean, it just seemed... light. "Maybe later, King Kong. We'll see,"

Luther didn't even care he had embarrassed himself

He was too caught up in that laugh. And you had a point. The night certainly wasn't young but it wasn't over either

And you had finished your task at the bar and were disappearing around the corner to get started on your next

He wanted to call after you - he wanted to talk to you more - he wanted to hear you laugh again

But he knew you were right

You both had jobs to do

And as he returned to his patrol, with less of a spring in his step, he recalled something that made his heart flutter

Not only did you know his name, Jack seemed to have told you a lot about him

Maybe not purposefully

But you knew him

Luther smiled to himself and allowed the hope to grow in his chest

DIEGO HARGREEVES:

You met at the Fighting Lion Gym

Now, between having been living there, working there, and, naturally, training there for years, he was quick to notice the new face that started showing up every Thursday

6:15 pm, every. Thursday.

Occasionally, you two would run in to one another at the lockers

He'd send you a nod, or, if he was feeling a little brave, he'd flash a wink or two the cheeky little shit

he's such a flirt, I'm sorry

Granted, a dorky one

But a flirt

Technically speaking, don't people buy stranger's drinks in bars or something? Not gyms??

And weren't they usually actual drinks?? Not pre-packaged snacks??

Welp, too late-- yall were at the vending machines at the same time and he panicked

Someone help this man

See, this is embarrassing, but uh,, you should probably know him swooping in and shoving a dollars worth of quarters into the machine just before you could was his way of flirting

I know, I know. But this is Diego we're talking about

Poor, dorky little suave Diego, trying to be spontaneous and pay for your snacks as a conversation starter

He was kinda nervous though, considering he came up with the plan in the two seconds it took to recognize you as he joined you at the machines

So, when he panicked he kinda came off a little too aggressive; at least, juuust enough to make him seem, to a total stranger who didn't know him anyway, like a, uh,,

Well, a egotistical knob

You gave him a look, not very pleased with what you perceived as an act of douchery, and he, bless his himbo soul, panicked and dug his heels deeper in the sand with a cheesy smirk

It fell pretty quickly after the eye roll and then altogether smothered when you shot him a look

"Really, man?"

Don't forget, he pulls off the perfect personification of the "???" and if you could read his mind all you'd hear was the dial-up modem noise

You're laughing. This man made a complete fool of himself trying to be smooth with you and you're laughing

But, Diego being Diego, he eventually smoothed it over and explained

(It was very dorky and charming, actually)

It made for a good laugh, and, in the end, he had gotten what he tried for--if not in the way he expected

After all, he had wanted an ice breaker, right?

ALLISON HARGREEVES:

Look at this literal ray of sunshine and tell me you're not falling in love

Like, come on--

Her smile, her jokes, her laugh?!

I love her and whoops I'm forgetting what I'm supposed to be doing here and just gushing over her/Emmy

Can you blame a girl?

Moving on

When Allison met you, she knew she was in trouble

Generally speaking, it's kind of a big no-no to like your kid's teacher ??

HEAR ME OUT OKAY

I mean, she always appreciated you and admired how well you got along with Claire, even during her marriage with Patrick

But when things got rocky, you noticed

More specifically, Claire did

Kids are smart little nuggets and they pick up on that stuff, whether you mean for them to or not

You noticed a difference in Claire, and it went on long enough for you to get concerned

You had reached out to Allison, suggesting a friendly little discussion about Claire and your concerns

Allison wasn't exactly thrilled about it, I mean, who would want people picking up on that??

But she did it, and was, eventually, glad she had

First and foremost, she was willing to for Claire's sake

But you had already proven to be an involved teacher who took the time to know each student and did your best to attend to each of their needs

That's a big point-getter in Allison's book, as it is with most parents

So she heard you out, and you two had a great talk

It lasted a little longer than either of you anticipated, but not for the wrong reasons

Claire was certainly better off for it, but, to Allison's surprise, so was she

It was an unspoken lifesaver, having you keyed in on the situation at home cause in times where she showed up a bit late to pick Claire up (thanks to meeting with lawyers that occasionally ran late), you were there with great understanding and, more often than not, putting a smile on her daughter's face

Again, I wanna stress that it didn't happen often, and when it did it she felt a lot of guilt and stress; she would come rushing in, rain on her jacket and slightly out of breath stating she was had made it, and traffic didn't help but she came as fast as she could, and yet, that stress was ebbed away -- by just a hair -- when she saw you with Claire

The two of you would be in the classroom, you sat with her in one of those little kiddie chairs, coloring with her, the two of you laughing about something

Claire would be telling a story as you two scribbled away with the crayons -- she'd be giving you advice on shading techniques you eagerly accepted in between her words -- and Allison had hardly seen another adult other than herself and Patrick talk to her like that; really on her level and taking her seriously, with great respect, while still indulging and being silly and encouraging and letting her be a kid

You weren't ever condescending, with any of the kids, is what I'm getting at

Any worry she had that you would be upset or agitated in any way with her for being even the slightest bit late vanished when you two would look up and welcome her with big smiles and a brief summary of the day and/or whatever games or activities you kept yourselves entertained with

She'd still apologize profusely to you and Claire, but time and time again, you reassured her you understood

Even on days where, yeah, sure it'd been a long, tiring day and a nice hot bath at home was calling your name, you never let it interfere with Claire's needs and until she was back with her or Patrick, she was your responsibility

Claire is also just the cutest, sweetest, smartest little nugget and you love interacting with her

You're a HUGE help and your being her teacher makes a difference both her parents appreciate, divorce or not

You do get along with Allison a bit more though

Claire sometimes gets impatient when you get talking with her mom, cause whenever it happens she feels like she's waiting there forever

You two always have something to talk about, and by the time the school year ends, you and Allison are close and even though things get bittersweet as Claire moves up into a new grade with a new teacher, everyone's happy to hear you're just down the hall

(And one phone call away)

Look, you're a hit in Allison's book, that's allll 👀👀

KLAUS HARGREEVES:

SUNSHINE BABY WHOM I LOVE DEEPLY ALSO

Very kissable nose

Relatable hero

Has done nothing wrong ever in his life and we know this

This one is short, but sweet 😋

Uniquely enough, you technically knew Klaus from the 1960s and met him in 2019

That is... the new 2019.

History nerd here! Out of all the chaos surrounding the JFK incident in Dallas (edit: The Kennedy Six! Thank you s3!!) you were particularly horrified/captivated by the cult Destiny's Children that swept the nation in the early 60s

It utterly fascinated you, particularly the fact that the cult ─ and it's leader ─ materialized and disappeared out of thin air all within the matter of three years, without a trace

Needless to say, when you bumped into him on the sidewalk your eyes went wide

Klaus, who was still used to being occasionally recognized as The Séance back in his 2019 was surprised to hear your claims of the Prophet

He had felt his muscles tighten and the dread creeping into his chest - he should of known his luck wouldn't be better than this - he wouldn't ever escape the title of Prophet

You had given a nervous laugh

"I wouldn't exactly call myself a member of Destiny's Children," you chuckled. Klaus' looked at you, almost shocked. "Erm, no offense," you were tempted to say

"Oh?"

"No, see, erm, I'm just a bit of a history buff? I'm probably way too into conspiracies, and the sudden rise and disappearance of the Prophet in the 1960's is one of my favorites. I mean, people actually say they swore they saw him in Dallas one day, in strange clothing shortly before he came on the rise. I mean," you laugh in wonder, looking at him curiously. Like you were challenging him. "It's like he just... dropped right out of the sky,"

Klaus had huffed a little laugh, and gave you a cocky smile. "Got any theories?"

FIVE HARGREEVES:

Believe it or not, you two met in the apocalypse a few weeks after he landed there

You honestly don't know how you survived, you were still scratching your head over that one

Let's just say your neighbors paranoia-fueled survival lifestyle complete with bunkers can sometimes pay off I guess, nevermind the fact you still should have been cooked

But who needs all that when you're trying to come up with plot!

But here you were, wondering if you could call it luck that your neighbors were out of town and you just happened to be house sitting for them when you saw the alerts

It bought you seconds at most and you obtained some pretty impressive burns but you lived. You lived.

You couldn't say the same for same for your family or the rest of the world

for all you knew you were the last one on earth and it was devastating

You were on your own for years, surviving on scraps in the bunker, and when you deemed it safe enough to leave you scavenged from there

It wasn't until your third year in the apocalypse you found Number Five

You didn't think he was real - he didn't think you were

Both of you were supposed to be the last ones on earth. Both of you had endured the end of the world, lost your family and survived a global catastrophe and had fought to survive and see another day for three years believing you'd never see another living human

And then you were just

there.

You'd think stumbling upon each other in such a high risk environment would be a startle, right?

Yeah. You'd think.

Relief was all that could be felt in such a time

Neither of you were the only ones on earth! And if you two were alive maybe others were!

It became quite clear quite quickly that you two were each other's only hope against the cruel, unforgiving loneliness at the end of the world

But you two still made it your mission to find others, even if it was just a reason to keep each other up and surviving

So the two of you, and your little, 15-16 yr old selves, set about the apocalyptic wasteland and grew up together

Well into your 30s and 40s, you two celebrated every birthday, every holiday, even every mourning day together (the day you two took to honor your families and everyone who lost their lives)

And then, as your 60s crept up on you, your dying world was flipped on its ass a second time

That being your recruitment for the commission along side Five ofc

It took some convincing with the Handler, but Five and you were long since a package deal

You were separated for a bit when sorted into the commission, but neither of you let that happen for too long

And before you knew it, Five and his silver (albeit snarky) tongue got you two on the same mission

The mission to be exact

Where he had long since been planning your escape

Of course, you can probably guess what happened next

He got the math wrong, and now you two were forced back into your 13 year old bodies

Which was actually kinda weird seeing each other like that besides the obvious reasons

You two hadn't met each other at that point, but it still wasn't too far off from your 16 yr old selves

But that's beside the point

You were now back in the year 2019

As a 13 yr old

Where your family was

And his

You came a long way from the end of the world together, that's for sure

BEN HARGREEVES:

Okay, okay

Stay with me on this one-

You're a ghost

Shocker for a Ben story, right?

You did, however, meet when you were children

Well, teens anyway

After Five disappeared, and several months before The Jennifer Incident

Klaus had been showing less and less interest (if one could even call it that) in his powers, especially now that Five was gone :(

Nothing was ever the same since, and (nobody knew it yet but) it was only going to get so much worse :((

But for a very brief period, Ben and Klaus made a little friend on an away mission

It wasn't exactly an Others situation, but it wasn't ...not ??? (mainly cause I haven't seen and/or read it but I do know about it kinda?? PFFTT)

They totally didn't realize you were dead, and/or that Klaus had summoned you

They were nice to you when you needed a friend

And some help

You followed them back home -- per their invitation -- and it wasn't until after you returned with them that things kinda fell into place

It made sense to them, after the initial shock

You weren't even entirely sure yourself, but like I said...

Things clicked

It was a difficult thing to process, but ultimately, given lack of family/friends around, you didn't exactly object to the idea of sticking around

... :(

Ben soon joining you was not something you were exactly excited about. You didn't want that for him! You didn't want that for anybody!

Oddly though, your being around and familiar by then made his transition easier

If you weren't close before, you were now

It's kind of hard not to bond over a situation like yours

It wasn't all doom and gloom though, you two found ways to have fun

Playing pranks had been a shared interest even before the Jennifer Incident, but pulling pranks as a ghost duo just opened so many doors lmao

Yall make it work for you, you adorable chaotic bastard duo <3

VIKTOR HARGREEVES:

You were in Viktor's orchestra!

You were in the (wood?)winds section, him ofc, in strings

The two of you tended to be the first (or more often, last) arrivals which became its own ice breaker

You always stood out to Viktor, but he could never place why

But it wasn't uncommon for him to find himself lingering at the door after packing up for the day, his eyes wandering across the room and seeing you still sitting in your chair, carefully and meticulously cleaning your flute for the day

He couldn't place it, but he felt as though going over, saying hi and just making nice was something that needed to be done

He eventually worked up the courage

"Hey," he had said, maybe just a little too quiet

You looked up all the same, a polite smile on your face that stuck out from the "polite" smiles he usually got from other members

"Hi,"

Bless yall, you two awkward cuties

"Your solo was beautiful, i really enjoyed it"

"Oh," you perked, sitting up a little bit straighter and your smile just a little bit bigger. "Well, thank you,"

Like I said, awkward cuties adpjfdt--😍

You complimented him on his playing too, and you just had a way of speaking that made it impossible for Viktor to think it was just you being nice

The longer you two speak the harder it is to believe you two hadn't previously known each other (outside of a first name basis that is) sooner

Yall have a lot in common, and are already talking about meeting after practice some time when you're interrupted

Apparently you two had sat talking long enough that people were waiting to shut down and close up the place

A bit flustered, but decidedly not in the slightest bit done with your conversation, the two of you grabbed your things and scuttled out and stumbled into the nearest coffee shop

It became a Friday tradition

And then you started doing it on Mondays too

And then soon enough, it became abnormal for you two not to hear from each other at least once or twice a week

I'll say it again

Cuties 🥰

LILA PITTS:

It wasn't supposed to happen like this

At least, that's what Lila kept telling herself

Everything had been going according to plan. That was until she actually met her two targets; Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb-Arse

A.K.A; Diego and you

Yep. A Hargreeves. She couldn't believe she was falling for a bloody Hargreeves

The plan was so simple

boring, more like it

after her recovery, the Handler had finally sniffed out the coordinates of your and your siblings whereabouts

Tsk, Tsk little Five, tsk tsk. Him and his siblings were scattered everywhere in different times - left to fend for themselves in a new place. All alone.

It was perfect!

And, by the looks of it, she had found an even more perfect target:

Diego Hargreeves - The Kraken - little stuttering Number 2. The weaker of his siblings and the more naive of his umbrella counterpart - Number Eight; The Magnet (the Handler's words, not mine)

While Diego had a reputation for his trajectories, you were well known for your skills in retrieval - just about anything you could lay your eyes on you could summon forth directly into your hand with the flick of your wrist. And despite your contrasting differences and how the public often depicted you two in your youth, you and your brother where as thick as thieves

Which is precisely why neither Lila or her mother anticipated you getting your ass tossed in the ward right alongside your brother

Again, the public reputation of your family was very different from reality

So when Lila got herself tossed in the ward and her hands on the patient list ─ don't ask how, some things are better left a mystery ─ she was certain she had the right Hargreeves

'D. Hargreeves'. Right in between 'M. Haddock' and 'V. Haverly'

Plain and simple. It was that dimwitted Diego she had heard so much about

Which is precisely why it threw her through such a loop when you showed up for group, strolling right up next to your brother and taking a seat with a tired look

Apparently, unlike your brother, you gave a fake name in attempt to avoid as much attention as possible--just in case your father was as well known in this time as you thought he might be

It took a few sessions for you two to finally speak for her to tune into your stories

Diego, ofc, giving his entire life story about the academy, the doomsday you two had just encountered as well as the assassination of JFK he was so determined to stop

You were involved heavily in his stories, and yet you refused to give yours

No doubt these knobs heard Diego's accounts of his assassination attempt on Oswald, saw you with him, and in his stories and decided that was reason enough to throw you in too

The point is, whatever landed you in here you refused to talk

Even when Diego insisted he was telling the truth: even considered demonstrating his powers but you had quickly convinced him that would just get the both of you landed somewhere worse

Okay, that conversation was hilarious and she kinda hated the fact that she laughed a little under her breath

Foolish though, considering her duties

But dang it, she couldn't help it

The first time you two technically met was during group

Granted, everyone was introduced but Lila decided to count it when you first locked eyes with each other

Nothing too extraordinary happened, it was a simple first glance but she'd be lying to herself and everyone here if she said something didn't make her linger for a second longer

The truth is, how you two actually met wasn't exactly one specific moment

but lots of little moments, until you two were actually speaking

Like I said, there were introductions in group

Passing supplies during crafts (you were somehow angrier than your brother when it came to craft making, which struck her as yet another surprise)

Getting ahead of herself every so often during recreation and making the occasional quip at you two

(That's another thing, she loves poking fun at either of you, the reactions she gets are priceless: Diego with his hilariously short fuse and your total unpredictability)

She made sure you came to her first, but not without lots of interference (mentioned above)

Finally, one day, you join her at the fence during a particularly sunny recreation hour and she's just a bit more excited about it than she probably should have been (you're not even her target!)

You aren't right next to her, you aren't super far away

But you're there, gaze raking the outside world beyond the metal fence maybe four paces to her right

You don't say anything at first

You just stand there, huffing about whatever had agitated you, and an easily dismissible look about you no one there but Lila could recognize

It was a feeling she understood without ever having acknowledged it in the first place, one that whispered of the inexplicable itch she'd had for the past several years

And without ever understanding what that feeling was, she still felt it an unspoken connection you two had; just something you two had in common

And maybe, just maybe? you felt it too?

Regardless, you spoke to her properly for the first time ever -- words she would never, ever forget;

"Lifted a pack off of that douche Joe over there," you nodded discreetly across the yard at one of the orderly's under the shade of a small tree. He was slumped against the bark, his head dropping up and down as he fought sleep, his "CALL ME: 'Joe'" nametag hanging crooked and loose. The pack in question extended to Lila with a single cigarette poking up from the mass. "Want one?"

The Hargreeves meeting someone else with powers HCs

Request

Tw: Mentions of stalking and alcohol

Set: pre or during season one

Masterlist

Luther Hargreeves

-Luther takes it incredibly seriously when he accidentally stumbles across you using your power, he would report back to his dad if he was still alive, but since that’s not an option, he thinks he can at least use the opportunity to prove his leadership

-He’s almost naive in approaching you, expecting you to follow his instructions even though his own siblings don’t even do that, and though his intentions are good his poor communication could easily scare you off

-But even if the first interaction doesn’t go so well he doesn’t give up, trying to get answers from you and hopefully even make something of a honorary umbrella out of you becomes like a mission to him, it gives him a renewed sense of purpose

-It doesn’t occur to him to immediately tell his siblings, and when he eventually does he insists he’s got things covered, and to be fair he is growing on you more and more every interaction as you realise he’s actually harmless, just endearingly inept

-Luther trusts you pretty quickly, so before long he’s insisting you attend academy meetings, and in an instant your normal life turns into warnings of an incoming apocalypse and the dramatics of a family you have to be really glad you didn’t get adopted into

Diego Hargreeves

-When Diego’s patrolling the city and from a distance catches you using your power, despite doing so harmlessly, it’s easy for him to assume the worst, that you’re some kind of criminal, or worse connected to Reginald

-Regardless, it’s a shocking revelation that he needs to do something about, rather than confront you head on, he goes into complete stalker -or as he’d prefer ‘vigilante’- mode, staking you out for a few days

-He’s not in a rush to trust you, but once he finds that your routine is actually quite mundane he gives you enough benefit of the doubt to cautiously approach you, looking for answers

-It’s pretty terrifying to have this masked man show up at your door and interrogate you, -no matter how many times he refers to himself as ‘the good guy’- but things start to click into place once he mentions the umbrella academy, and with your cooperation he steadily lets his guard down and talks to you like more of a regular person

-Even though you couldn’t tell him anything new, and it’s not like there’s really anything connecting you two, the fact that you share the same condition makes him feel some kind of loyalty to you, so he tells you where to find him if you want answers of your own or just want to spend a little time around someone who’s like you

-As closed off as he seems, Diego would welcome you as an ally, someone to have his back and look out for, the kind of relationship that deep down he always wanted to have with his siblings

Allison Hargreeves

-Despite your extraordinary ability, you do live a pretty average life, however you’re not above using your power to your advantage on occasion and this latest time you get caught by someone with a lot of experience in that area

-Allison can be quite cunning when she wants to be and immediately taps into that, keeping her cool and trying to figure out what your deal is without alarming you in case you’re some kind of threat

-Obviously you know who she is though, so while her guard is up she’s thankfully very honest, and while uneasy she is kind once she figures you seem alright

-She doesn’t plan on telling her dad or anything, it’s not worth the bullshit of seeing him, but she’s also weary about just letting you go, maybe it’s projecting but she’s worried about what you could do with that kind of power when you’ve never even had training for it

-So if you express even the slightest interest in staying in touch or continuing this discussion she’s so down, she could really use the good karma of helping someone safely manage their powers (regardless of whether you want that from her or not)

Klaus Hargreeves

-Usually you try to keep a lid on your powers, it’s just easier that way, but one night at a club you drink a bit too much, and let your control slip for just a second, and unbeknownst to you, a certain partier catches you in the act

-Really Klaus just wants to mind his own business, it’s Ben who insists this is important and he should talk to you, nagging him until he begrudgingly follows you out and ‘confronts’ you

-Your defences quickly melt under his absurdly light-hearted disposition, and he’s so straightforward about who he is and what his intentions are that you follow suit and a conversation easily flows between you two, you’re trading life stories within the hour

-He’s so curious about what it was like growing up with a power in a normal environment, honestly just trying to imagine what his life might of been like if Reginald hadn’t adopted him

-If you’ve ever felt alone or miserable because of your ability it’s a blessing to have been discovered by Klaus, he’s offers all the compassion and understanding you have desperately been needing

-He’s not exactly reliable though, your connection may be instant but it has a good chance of also being fleeting as he’s not one to stick around or maintain friendships

Five Hargreeves

-You’re quite careful to be discreet with your powers, but you couldn’t of been prepared for Five to teleport into your workplace when you thought you were alone, and inadvertently catch you using them

-He goes right on the defence, immediately worrying that you could be a factor in the apocalypse, and quite aggressively confronting you, granted he won’t do anything too rash without first hearing you out

-He doesn’t exactly make cooperation easy, remaining hostile and secretive himself, but once he decides that you could neither help or hinder his attempts to save the world your free to go, he seems to lose all interest in you

-So if you want to continue this discussion, he’s not your guy, at most he may give you the courtesy of telling you that you can go to the academy and tell them five sent you if you want more information

-Unless he thinks your power could be useful to him, in which case he will take full advantage of the situation to drag you along with him

-He can’t be too surprised by the revelation that there are other people with powers, it actually seems like the exact kind of thing Reginald would know and keep a secret, he at least plans on telling his siblings but it’s not a priority

Viktor Hargreeves

-You and Viktor live in the same apartment building and by total chance he’s returning home just as you need to use your powers to save Miss Kowalski’s cat from the latest danger he’s gotten himself into

-While shocked, Viktor does consider just apologising and leaving you be, figuring he’s the last person who should be meddling with a super-powered person, but in an act of sheer impulsiveness he introduces himself to you instead

-He’s so disarmingly vulnerable that any worry you had over his intentions dissolves within minutes as he rambles about not wanting to bother you, but having ties to the umbrella academy if you’re interested, and just that he has some experience in this area if you want someone to talk to

-You only take him up on the second offer, you’re so used to your ability being the most important thing in your life that it’s really nice to meet someone relatively unfazed by it, between that and him not having much else going on, a budding friendship easily forms

-He doesn’t try to get any information from you that you don’t freely offer, part of him knows that he should treat this like a bigger deal and probably tell his family, but he also knows how they can be and won’t do so without your permission

-Though he tries not to dwell on it, it’s undeniable that your very existence is kind of a slap to the face, knowing that some stranger in the city had powers and he didn’t, that you’re basically the rightful number seven… it’s a bitter pill to swallow

A sleeping partner | Five Hargreeves

Summary : Small Prompt : In which the reader is sleep deprived and often sleeps when can even during the day.

Enjoy 🤍✨

• Sleep. A word none of the Hargreeves have been heard for probably a decade from now and so did you. After meeting the Sparrows, saving the world and with a god awful need of an appetite, technically finding a shelter to relax was the priority before going to paranoia. Thanks to Klaus’s help in guidance when he admitted knowing a place where it required a matress, a shower but most importantly a buffet and a bar. The hotel Obsidian it was.

• When checked in and with a god awful way of seducing the hotel’s clerk into thinking a nice watch could possible rant the family two rooms, with full beds. The family somehow find it rather peaceful to be able. Even if it meant to be stuck in an not so elegant place. After all, if it meant to decompress just for one night it wouldn’t kill anybody right?

• Five on the other hand for once, loved the idea of staying. In fact, his retirement felt quite nice for once. A nice shower, a bed and you what else could he ask for more. Not that he would’ve love to share a single room with one matress and without his brothers intertwining in his way, but seeing you so vulnerable while you slept next to him made him forget everything. So easily that he himself found himself at peace by embracing you closer into his warmth.

• During missions, Five glimpse at your direction at times to times to make sure you were okay. Often thinking that if he did leave you for at least two minutes, were to found you sleeping in whatever god’s forsaken place with no question asked. Either way, he knew that dealing with someone who required sleeping a lot was not only oddly and yet with the family he had, nothing surprised him at this point.

• Sometimes, when needed when for once required a break could found Five sitting in the lobby’s couches reading or working on whatever had come to his mind that day. A coffee in hand now cold by the slow drinker you are sat down to join him and silently admired him working. Weirdly enough he did enjoyed seeing you admiring him or even curiously glancing at time to time at the amount of work he did. Not that this was a sign for you to nudge him into spending more time with you, but also seeing your eyes sparkles every time you learned a new word got him to think he had never fell in love this hard. Not even with a damn mannequin.

• A busy Five also meant having to be patient. Which in contrary you weren’t. Mind you were also sleep deprived by the events and so, staying awake for even just a little while turned out to be nightmarish when out of boredom end up sleeping next to him. Heck sometimes, laid your head on his shoulders and leaned to have a petter position not trying to irritating him too much by his concentration.

• Five noticed right away. Often when he could not so long before seeing your eyes closing, smiled to himself into thinking how adorable you were. He would often also leaned to press a few kisses making sure you were comfortable before any of his siblings could catch him being lovey dovey. And if to happened, he made it damn sure that his siblings or anyone were to eat their own shits. As for you, at the end of the day when the work finally done, were to found sleeping calmly in each other’s arms finally able to relax without a mess in the world.

hear me out; delores as one of those carousel horses.

hmm. i'm not mad at it

[ID: a drawing of Delores as a carousel horse (or rather, carousel centaur) instead of a mannequin. Her hair is broken off, as well as her arm and one of her legs. Her horse part is red and she has a curly yellow tail. Her saddle and top (which resembles the bodice of a fancy dress, without the dress) are both molded on, and are made up of matching pink, blue, green, gold, and cloudy white. The shading and highlight colors are very bright and chaotic, and the line art has been drawn over by the colors in places. End ID]

It was interesting to draw not just a simplified horse, but someone else's simplification of a horse. Those are different shapes than I do! Also, a note on Delores' hair: she's bald in the show because of course she is, it's pretty common for mannequins to be bald, but why would a carousel statue lady be bald? They're not gonna put a wig on those, the hair would be molded on. So I drew her as having had hair at some point, but broken off by now

#tua #the umbrella academy #honestly this is so far removed from tua canon i feel bad about tagging it lmao #dolores tua #delores tua #i dont like this more than my original idea- i do prefer either keeping her exactly as canon or making her a real girl #making everyone a horse is already The Most Dumb i may as well just really have fun and make delores real- #but i liked this idea enough that it merited an image #centaur #centaur au #carousel horse #carousel #i might as well tag it! without the surrounding context i'd just be posting a carousel horse! #my art #return of my fucked up apocalypse coloring but a little different this time

[graceloveswolves]

I’ve seen people talking about how Klaus is looking in the opposite direction in this picture, and as I was rewatching the series I noticed this picture in season one where (I think) Klaus is facing the other way….. I could be wrong but I think that’s either Klaus/Ben. Anyone find this intriguing???

not to be allergic to harmless misinfo but i am once again asking everyone to realise that gerard does not have anything to do with the netflix tua adaption - he is not a screenwriter or director! he greenlit the series, is one of ten nominal executive producers, had some initial input into casting and character/costume design, visited set a couple of times during season 1, and occasionally attends zoom meetings and that's it. he only writes the comics which are very different from the show! if gerard wrote the show believe me it would be much much weirder lol

#each has its own individual issues this isn't me saying one is problematic and one isn't or anything like that #(tho i definitely personally prefer the comics by leagues) #just bc of who i am as a person i literally cannot stand things being mistakenly miscredited ever SKDJFJDJS #i make this post every few months but every time i can NEVER find the previous ones smh what's the point of having a tagging system #tua #*

freshly born gen3 nick had longer hair and a bit of beard happening by the time he got back to goodneighbor, which usually looks weird to me, but ive seen enough gale baldursgate fanart by now to be somewhat ok w it

#sketches #vaultblogging #nicky v #the freaky institute guy that made him would sometimes cut it so nicks a little freaked out by the feeling of scissors on his neck. #he prefers to have regularly cut/styled hair bc hes a gentleman. so he does not like having the long hair and eventually has tua cut it #which pros of gen3 upgrade: partner washing your hair. #cons: feeling of cold metal on the back of your neck wakes up that courser programming real quick

4am Cuddles | Preferences

"You come to my room and wake me up at 4 am, to cuddle?"

Characters: Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Five, Ben, and Viktor Summary: You're a close friend of one of the famous Hargreeves, and sometimes Reginald doesn't mind having another company here in the Academy. You and your parents had a heated argument and the only safe place that you could go to is the Academy. You are always welcome to accompany the siblings anytime.

A/N: Hello! I don’t what else to put in here but these are just my imagines of the character’s reaction when the reader walks into their room at 4 am asking for cuddles. This could be platonic/romantic. Happy reading y’all! Feedbacks / coffee are very much appreciated. Thank you so much to those who liked and reblogged my recent written work NSFW Sparrow Ben x Reader I'm still thinking about writing a part two of it, if you want to be tagged just let me know!

Luther Hargreeves

You knock at his door but there’s no response, so you silently entered his room not wanting to wake number one you sneak up in his bed.

He would be alarmed that someone’s trying to cuddle him and the fact that he can knock you over but you told him that it was you.

“Crap (Y/N), you almost scare me!” “Sorry, I just really can’t sleep and I want cuddles…” “Next time you should wake me okay?” “Okay…”

He’s definitely the big spoon and you’re the small spoon.

He would make sure that you’re in a comfortable position.

He would give you forehead kisses and tell you random stories or ramble about certain things in life until you fall asleep.

Diego Hargreeves

“If you need anything, just knock at my room okay?” Then he pats your head and retired to his room, it is now past 4 am and you can’t still sleep so you decided to go to his room.

Since it’s quiet and everyone is asleep (or so you thought) in the academy, you knock on his bedroom door. But no response, so you open the bedroom door quietly.

He was sleeping peacefully, you shake his shoulder gently.

“Diego… I can’t sleep.” “Wha- (Y/N)?” He glanced at his bedside clock while he glance back at you. “It’s 4 am- come, you need some rest too.” He pats the other side of the bed and snuggles up to his chest.

He would give your forehead a kiss while brushing your hair with his fingertips.

There would be a time that you woke up because of his loud snoring, so you would try your best to shake his shoulder stirring the man to wake up a bit and will say “I’m sorry..” and then proceed to kiss your forehead and the two of you finally sleep peacefully.

Allison Hargreeves

Knocking at her bedroom door, you waited for her response, and if you’re not mistaken you hear a faint response “come in.” and so you did, as far as you could remember she’s a light sleeper or there are times that she would be having a hard time sleeping too.

“Oh (Y/N)? What brings you here?” “I’m sorry to bother you but I can’t sleep…” She look at you with an awed expression on her face and you both knew that Allison singing to you will surely help you to have a peaceful sleep.

“Don’t be sorry about that, now come and let’s sleep together.” Patting the other side of the bed you joined her.

She would also tell you stories about their previous mission, her celebrity life outside of the academy, and her spouse, and daughter Claire while brushing your hair with her fingertips.

Klaus Hargreeves

There’s no doubt that this man is still awake at 4 am doing whatever god knows why.

When you came into his room he was with Ben, eating some snacks while watching some movies or a T.V series.

You were too groggy to understand what Klaus had been talking to for the past couple of minutes when you came in.

“My dear (Y/N)! What brings you here?” “I can’t sleep…”

He welcomes you with open arms and as soon as you lay down on his chest, you soon drifted to sleep. You could hear the two brothers bickering about something but you’re too tired to listen.

Five Hargreeves

You noticed that his bedroom door is ajar open, knocking quietly you hear him groggily say “come in…” and so you did. You can stare at his sleeping state for hours, not in a most creepy way as possible but you just really admire him so much.

“Hello Five sorry to bother you-“ “Save it,” You thought that he was mad because of the tone of his voice but he gently pats the other side of the bed, welcoming you.

Even though there are times that his facial expression looks grumpy, he would always have a soft spot for you or any of his siblings.

Since he’s a smartass and now half-awake, he would ask things what you’d like to know about certain things and he’d be happy to share this knowledge with you, and by the time that he’s halfway through talking about something you just ask him, you were now half asleep on his arms.

He would most likely brush your hair and silently admire your features close up until he had fallen asleep with you too.

Ben Hargreeves

Quietly knocking on his door you came into his room to see him sleeping with a book on top of his face. You chuckle at his state, he probably stayed all night to read a book and now he’s asleep.

 Silently grabbing the said book, you manage to find a bookmark and put it on whatever page he left with. Admiring his looks (not in a creepy manner of course) you gently wake him. “Hmm?” He looked at you groggily. “(Y/N)? What are you doing here?” “I can’t sleep…” “It’s 4 am…”

He then pats the free space beside him and you happily climb in and snuggle up to his chest. “Do you want to know the book that I’ve been reading?” “Mhm”

And so he starts telling the story about this book that you forgot what the title was, but hearing him talk about this book wholeheartedly makes you smile to your sleep.

While drifting off to sleep you could almost feel his voice starts to fade that’s when you knew that you’d fallen asleep in his arms.

Viktor Hargreeves

Knocking on his bedroom door, you heard a faint response “Come in…” You really don’t want to bother any of the Hargreeves but you could use at least a cuddle.

“Hey… don’t you mind if I could cuddle with you?” “Mhm, sure.” You want him to play the violin for you but it’s 4 am so instead you asked him if you could borrow the cassette player the one that Harlan gave to him.

And so he let you borrow it and you decided to listen to the sounds of crashing ocean waves. You’d imagine it would be great to have the Hargreeves siblings in a beach trip, that would be fun for sure.

You heard Viktor say something “Good night (Y/N)…” while brushing your hair causing you to fall asleep peacefully.

How You Met THE SPARROW ACADEMY:

PAIRINGS: Sparrow Academy x Genderless!Descriptionless!Reader

FOLLOW UP TO: How You Met - The Umbrella Academy

A.N: we need more sparrow content ASAP. I fell quick and I fell hard

WARNINGS: Quick and minor mention of a bus crash (under Marcus tab), varying degrees of content for each character, me borrowing a villain from the comics I don't know shit about other than what i read off of TUA Fandom Wiki, and me still getting the hang of this format and writing and just having fun and being silly with it more than taking it seriously

LINKS: main masterlist || sparrow masterlist

MARCUS HARGREEVES:

Ahh Marcus 😍

He's really just so... 🤩😍🤪🥰😚☺️😅😘☺️🤩

Yeah

Oh my gosh seriously, theres a reason he's number one and it's because he's the biggest dork

You knew a thing or two about putting up about three different kinds of walls until you could hardly recognize yourself, what with you basically being the Lila of the Sparrows

It's complicated how you met but also, not in the slightest

True, there was only one Handler and the only kid she ever "had" was Lila

But she wasn't your mother, she was your boss

One that you only ever met once or twice, but you can hardly remember it, it was so long ago

You were recruited by her, however, at a unusually young age annnndd long story short, you quit

Working for an organization out of time sounded cool, and was. For about 2 (non)minutes

Then it just got depressing and way WAY confusing and downright dangerous

It took so many (non)years to plan an escape and then another two or so to actually put it into action and escape

Nothing unusual, you were constantly jumping from year to year, place to place, never staying one place too long. (Kinda like couch surfing! Time surfing if you want to put it that way)

It went off without hitch, your little plan, and had been going fairly smooth for what you perceived as about four or five years

Then said "pitstop" in good ol' 2009

That's when your path collided with the Sparrows

And when it did, you crashed

No literally, there's a literal crash involved

It was definitely something that happened by total chance

And yeah, you could argue that's how most things are, but, hopefully you get what I mean

Like, it's crazy how you just happened to forget something when you left for your walk for work and decided you had time to go around the corner and get it. Crazy that you had just enough time to catch the next bus

And that next bus just so happened to be the one that got caught in the crossfires of a Sparrow vs Villain of The Week fight

Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt, but there were a great number of close calls

You being one of them

And you had Sloane Hargreeves to thank

In a spur of the moment as you were fleeing the bus with the rest of the crowd, she pulled you lot from across the street and out of harms way

When the fight had died out, the weirdo supervillain calling himself the Murder Magician was taken away (his sidekick, the assistant as well) And the Sparrows were swarmed with press and thankful citizens

You think, because of this, it'd be virtually impossible to get any face time with the famed sparrows, right?

Wrong

Again, it's crazy how you just so happened to be trying to make a beeline out of there (what? being on the run meant blending in, and you couldn't very well do that from here) when you ran into a very handsome wall

"Oh! My apologies, I didn't see you there"

Okay, so. Not a wall. Just a very tall, very handsome, and very very famous man you knew more about than you probably should thanks to your old job maintaining timeliness and such

You insisted you had to go, but wouldn't you know it, your little streak of luck wasn't over yet

That murder magician guy? Did I mention? He had a little something called a murderbot

Kind of makes sense now, I guess. Usually, supervillains aren't as cool with being caught unless they have another trick up their sleeve

So, kinda awkward, but

the thing kinda took ya hostage along with some other unlucky few in the crowd thanks to advantage it got witht he element of surprise and all

Marcus and the sparrows handled it fairly quickly but it was still upsetting!

Experiencing a bus crash, a murder magician, his murderbot and then two rescues all in one morning can take a lot out of you!

Marcus, having already ran into you and then letting you get kidnapped right in front of him immediately after, he felt kinda responsible for you. call him old fashioned (lol)

He asked multiple times if you were okay

He did not want to leave your side until he knew you were okay

He'd invite you back to the academy where Grace could check you over for potential injuries (concussion, internal bleeding, etc) and he could be certain you'd be getting good medical care

(even though EMTs are right the f there lmao)

He may be a dork but he's also a spoiled rich kid like his siblings lskd8v8

You, all the meanwhile, having a whole different timeline's worth of knowledge on him and his siblings thanks to your time at the commission (this excludes the kugelblitz since that was technically not supposed to happen... I think) felt like you were treading dangerous waters interacting with someone so famous in history

I kinda lost where this was going lol but I do know that after all that, it was a bit harder to say no to Marcus and the little soft side he started to show when he was getting worried

Cause you were definitely started to get a little dizzy and you definitely hit your head at some point in all that chaos

And a very handsome, very famous, very dorky, and very kind man was now very worried about you

Okay, so maybe you could be a little bit late to work

SPARROW!BEN HARGREEVES:

I finally understand the term poor little meow meow

He is a wet cat

Angry and petty and snippy

And inexplicably ruthless

You two would probably meet somewhere totally unexpected

Hold on let me think of it real quick

I guess I could see you working their PR or something, if that was even a thing for them (you being newer, and ofc around their age)

Idk I feel like, with Sparrow Ben, and how much of a little shit (affectionate) he is, I think it would be kinda hilarious and yet totally on brand for him to have a connection (good or bad) with someone who got paid to tell him what to do - ie, he thinks he doesn't need it and that it's the others that need to behave and rebrand themselves when he's like, right there

His promo poster was literally the Had To Do It To Em pose, you know I'm right about this

Not exactly the kind of image that's super great for, you know, a superhero

So yeah, he would have to listen, but he'd give a stink

And even a bigger one when you threw it right back

I'd think you'd have to have that kind of skill, at least to some degree, after working in such a field

Or maybe I'm just talking out of my ass

The point is, y'all would likely be bitter, but like, the kind that got comfortable after a while?? If that makes sense??

Either way, he's such a little shit and i just don't see an instance where you meet and it's perfect sunshine and rainbows right off the bat pfft

FEI HARGREEVES:

BIRD SANCTUARY!! BIRD SANCTUARY!! BIRD SANCTUARY!!

YOU WORK IN A BIRD SANCTUARY

You two are a match made in the cosmos and its sickening 🥰

Fei, like her aforementioned brothers, takes herself and the job pretty seriously

So it can be a bit rare for someone to see her in her true element

Or at least--

People who really know her

Her family

So, when a total stranger just comes along and just,,

✨️✨️✨️

Its really special

And what better than bonding over birds, and nerding out over birds?!

I feel like she wouldn't exactly shy away from whatever she may be feeling

But I also think she'd try to underplay it

Ya know, keep it cool and not make a huge deal

You know, it wasnt a huge deal that one day, on her day off, she decides to visit a reveried bird sanctuary just outside of town

And that, upon that visit, she happened to stumble upon you, unable to stop yourself from spewing bird facts and hey? Did this random visitor know about the loyalty of crows and all the limitless examples of humans befriending crows??

Well they did now

Oh no did she love your corny enthusiasm over birds - crows especially!!

She just couldn't help herself when she first overheard you and wanted a better view

Sure she spent her time communing with the birds around her, but a select few of crows--her crows--adopted a sudden interest in you and your info-dumping to unwilling visitors, flocking to you wherever you went

It wasn't unusual for birds to bond with caretakers but you didn't recognize these crows that now seemed to follow you everywhere, always keeping a polite distance and paying careful attention to anything you had to say

Soon enough, you were fully conversing with these crows, making sure they were comfortable wherever they might have come from

That pretty much sealed the deal for her

From then on, she knew she had to make herself known to you; introduce herself, commend your respect for her birds (and the others in the sanctuary)

Yall hit it off immediately, no surprise ajdkps

Oh she's also so fucking smooth adjsjs

Idk, shes just kinda sweeps you off your feet when she finally introduces herself to you, commending you for your respect to your birds (totally teasing you for how you, by extension and strictly technical terms, treated her through her birds) and is such a coy little fker who loves seeing you get all flustered

My god though, shes also so fucking soft and sweet and loyal when you earn her trust

Either friend or partner, she'll come across something she'll think you'll like and give it to you next time she sees you (ohh idk, like a crow)

Shes so fucking loyal and just so heart melting while also being the coolest, smallest fker ever and AHHH

I just love her

ALPHONSO HARGREEVES:

Jskapsoyc

He's so boyfriend shaped

I love him, I need to know more about him, and I'd love to say how you guys met was some miraculous coincidence that makes perfect sense like Fei, but honestly he just really strikes me as someone you just Bump Into, ya know?

He's a guy, and he's just around

Maybe you met in a convenience store

That feels like something that would happen (or maybe I'm just still thinking of his fight scene with Diego)

Oo! Honestly, some place like a bowling alley or arcade

He, like Marcus, is such a dork

But he holds himself as like, a, Cool Dork, ya know?

And it's not as hidden

It's not hidden at all, he's such a snarky pizza-eating, soda-chugging, quick-as-a-whip dork

He feels comfortable in public, for not all the right reasons

And he's easy to run into

He gets a lot of mistreatment by Sparrow fans, but his attitude is much like his power

Arguably, it's because of his powers

He's rubber, they're glue; what bounces off of him sticks to you

ie, he's so good at letting a bad attitude bounce off of him and stick to his attackers

And yeah, sometimes his walls are down and stuff gets to him when he isn't prepared, but overall he is sadly (and infuriatingly) used to it

He's not always the favorite among fans, is what I'm trying to get at

>:( fucking stupid if you ask me

But!!

Woah woah woah. Hold on...

Back up

Apparently he's... your favorite?

Lol okay, yeah, sure, you're totally not trying to be nice, he thinks (note the sarcasm)

Like I said, he's used to feeling the occasional tap on his shoulder -- like now, where he stands in line for some good ol' mediocre bowling alley hotdogs -- cause someone recognized him

He was, arguably, one of the more recognizable sparrows after all, behind Christopher obviously, so

Here we go, he thinks, turning around, hands lazing in his pockets and quite possibly the least enthusiastic look any living thing could conjure on his face

And just like anyone else, you stood waiting as he turned to face you, smiling in a way that was all too obvious you were trying to hide your excitement

"Hey," he nods

"Sorry," you laughed, but not in the usual way. More like an awkward chuckle that sounded nervous. That wasn't too unusual, either

"Sorry," you said again, burying your hand back inside your pocket like the other. "you probably get this all the time, pretty much everywhere"

He shrugged it off, not appearing too bothered by it

"No problem," he said, glancing back ahead to check the line. It still was pretty long; some issue with the deep fryer holding up the line, by the looks of it. He had time. He looked back at you, waiting indifferently for whatever to come. "What's up?"

Judging by the looks of it, you had already started backtracking the moment you got his attention. You were second guessing getting his attention. Cause figures

"Just a big fan," your hands were still in your pockets, fiddling and moving around visibly through the thin cotton, maroon zip-up sweatshirt

You had shrugged, and thats when he noticed your zip up was familiar; it was a piece of sparrow merch

An older one, judging by how worn it looked

The little sparrow insignia higher up on the left breast of the jacket was still there, but it was significantly faded, and the matching white rope laces dangling from the hood were fraying at the ends

He nods again, leaving the future of the conversation up to you

Wildly inconvenient for you, you thought, considering you hadn't exactly thought this far ahead. At least, if you had, you immediately forgot.

You said the first thing that came to mind, cause of course you did

"I loved the Sparrow comics when I was younger,"

Okay, yeah, you definitely regretted this. This was mortifying. Plain and simple.

Sadly, however, Alphonso saw this in your face and misconstrued the reasons for regret

He thought you were regretting talking to him when really you were just getting in your own head

You quickly assure him though, that, actually, he's your favorite and you think he's super cool and you've actually been a fan of his since yall were kids

He takes the information like any other fan interaction,

That is until it really clicks for him you're being totally serious and your enthusiasm is genuine and he kinda :o

Then he's such a suave little shit I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

Goes straight to his head, God bless <3

SLOANE HARGREEVES:

Love of my life, bane of my existence 🥰

She's perfect and such an inconvenience to me personally

I love her entirely <3

She's the sweetest of the sweet and sunshine in every sense of the word

Huh? Oh right!

How you met... *ahem* ☺️

Oh no biggie, she just uhh, saved your life is all

Okay okay, maybe not your literal life but she did save your morning shake which saved your morning which saved your ass from your boss

She was a blushing mess despite the grace of her powers and agility -- but it technically had been her fault

Sloane had been in such a rush, she unintentionally collided with you on one of the busier streets downtown

Totally cliche and a meet-cute right out of the movies

I honestly don't think I have much else to say about that, it was pretty straight forward and sweet (like her)

Admittedly you had been rattling around her head for a few days afterwards cause hey 👀👀👀 she can appreciate what's in front of her - and yet, she was kicking herself for not doing something about it

She held a lot of responsibility as a sparrow and part of her was afraid, not so much upholding the sparrow image, but disappointing her siblings

Sloane dreams of a having a life of her own, unsanctioned by her father and/or her brothers and sisters. She's been planning ahead for her inevitable exit, why had she chickened out with you??

Almost two weeks had passed since she ran into you and thirteen days since she talked herself into giving up on anything happening.

She had scolded herself, really, how foolish it was of her to think she could have something sweet and endearing with a very cute person like you

Sloane is a romantic in every sense, and this had merely been proof. How naive

And...

How naive of her to think she saw you standing out like a sore thumb in one of the sparrow crowds stationed outside for one of their outings

She had to do a double take when you gave her a shy wave, and she definitely had to make sure she wasn't making a fool of herself as she made her way over

You had sent her a grateful nod when she covertly steered you two out of the reach of cheering fans crowding around you trying to get to her and her siblings

Sloane may or may not have failed in her attemps to tamper down the corny smile that came with your being here

You looked almost, shy

"I thought you seemed familiar," you smiled, looking up over her shoulder at one of the many huge banners plastered on the academy. She followed your gaze over her shoulder and then quickly averted her gaze, not overly eager to see the sight

Were her cheeks always this sore?

JAYME HARGREEVES:

She was forged by the gays, for the gays

I love that trope where the sunny sunshine one is the grumpy grumps favorite

I feel like that could easily apply to her

But I also feel like it wouldn't be like that immediately, if at all

Not even soon

It would be a long process to get her there cause she's a sparrow after all, and being a sparrow means you come with an ego and stubbornness so strong it might as well be its own superpower

When she met you, she was irrationally and entirely furious

A big part of it was you kept cropping up everywhere

You delivered a pizza to her and Alphonso once upon a time and ever since, by total coincidence, you kept reappearing

She didn't believe it was accidental ofc

She thought you were some stalker

Meanwhile you were just as confused

It wasn't exactly love at first sight for you, either

Jayme was brash and short tempered, but when she was around you -- bumped into you on the street, out for a run in the park, whatever -- she was just plain cruel

And the thing is, she didn't know why

All you had done was the deliver the pizza, made light conversation with Alphonso and wished them both a good day before leaving

The fucking nerve of you

She's just crushing hard, actually

Nah, you're just annoying to her, that's totally it

She totally didn't think you were infuriatingly attractive, fun to be around or anything. And the display of dry humor she witnessed when you were chatting with her brother totally didn't anger her in a way she couldn't understand because she wasn't used to cute people saying stuff that she almost laughed at

But she didn't laugh. So there

She won, you lost

And you didn't even know it.

You simply thanked Alphonso for the early arrival tip, nodded a goodbye to both of them and then left

Just like that. No fan freak outs despite you knowing who they were, no autographs. Just a "thanks for saving the day" and a "let it cool for a few minutes, the pizza oven can get pretty hot and it was a short drive here"

That's it.

But that's just the thing.

That was never it.

There was always more, and Jayme wasn't buying it.

You were too calm, like you had been planning that meeting for ages

Maybe you were, even if that didn't make a damn lick of sense

Alphonso calls her out on her shit and he's the only one she really listens to even though she's not happy about it

On some level she knows she's being an asshole but it's kinda hard for her to help

Oh, real quick, by the way

If you're in the community and that's the context between you two for this preference, I don't mean to say she's acting like this cause of internalized homophobia or anything, she's just kind of an asshole skskxhcppff

This girl knows she's gay

Like Ben, she's more like a cat than a dog

She's cute, but she bites, and she's quick and really, she's just a total dick

It's also just kind of a Hargreeves thing, too to be fair

But, like cats, it's kind of, weirdly, part of their charm

She does make an effort though, after her talk with Alphonso, to be less... dickish

It works

Kind of

After a few practice runs

And lots of pizza orders later

But eventually, she's working her way up to answering the door and getting the pizzas from you with one goal in mind

Not making you storm away in rage

I mean, sure, part of the reason she gets so mad is cause you can actually keep up with her

It's never been this hard for her to get the last word in cause you actually can keep up with her and whatever she dishes out to you, you dish right back

In a way, she's kinda met her match

And that made things worse

But. You were still human and she was the one who was a literal super whose specialty was finding someone's weakness

(Actually Jayme sometimes worries she does that somehow without actually using her powers, so that was a big part of her wanting to be better ☹️)

And she's making mild progress!

It isn't until she's dialing the pizza place and working through her nerves as she does so that she realizes why she's so nervous

And then she throws the phone on the couch in embarrassment cause ew feelings

But one thing keepa her from giving up completely:

For whatever reason, you keep coming back

The Sparrows Having a crush on you HCs

Request @starfishfaerie

Umbrella version

Masterlist

A/N: I didn’t include Christopher cause I hit writers block really quick when I tried to

Marcus Hargreeves

-Honestly Marcus doesn’t even consider that you might reject him

-He is the epitome of smooth, casually flirting with you with enough charm to keep your attention without ever coming across as too forward or creepy

-Though the fact that he’s so relaxed about it can make you question how serious he’s being

-He’s not above trying to impress you with both the fame of being a superhero and holding the coveted number one slot of the sparrows

-He’s respectful enough to want to do the right thing by you but he has no reference for what that would be

-He’s even unsure about making his move, fearing he’d endanger you

Ben Hargreeves

-Ben’s fairly self-confident so he’s not afraid to put himself out there however he does think his feelings for you would interfere with his other goals so doesn’t act on them

-Actually he kind of resents his crush because of that, he’s mad at himself for letting you distract him, and you do distract him

-Still he tries to keep you interested in him, in his own way, doing things like humble-bragging about his accomplishments in crime-fighting

-And whenever you respond with anything remotely ego-stroking it’s just the best feeling in the world

-Though he really tries to keep his guard up around you something about your company relaxes him, you wouldn’t know it thanks to his uptightness but the time he spends with you is the happiest he ever is

-You do occasionally see his softer side but whenever anyone else is around he completely freezes you out, like a switch is flipped

-He’s definitely prone to jealousy, he tries not to give those feelings the time of day but whenever your relationship with a viable romantic partner advances he’s fuming and all his siblings will notice he’s more irritable than usual

Fei Hargreeves

-It takes a while for Fei to start to let you in but it’s soon after that that she -much to her concern- develops a crush on you

-She really tries to fight these feelings, considering them a weakness and a distraction from her duty

-But it’s a rare treat for her to have someone in her life as warm and trustworthy as you and she’s kind of hooked on it

-She takes as many steps as possible to make sure your association with her doesn’t endanger you

-In general she’s fairly protective of you and more than willing to unleash her flock on someone who gives you trouble

-She has a knack for finding excuses to see you without alerting Reginald or her siblings to her interest or talking her way out of any suspicion they do develop

-It takes some time but eventually you get the honour of being one of the only people to get to know her relaxed, fun side and after even more time it becomes her default around you

Alphonso Hargreeves

-Honestly Alphonso would rather not have the feelings for you that he does, he kind of considers them an inconvenience

-He doesn’t drop many hints about his crush, he’s actually kind of scared of you figuring it out

-He tries to give you his signature snark but it’s undeniably less vicious than usual and just turns into you two bantering

-Actually he can’t bare to hurt your feelings, he had on a few occasions before he got to know you better and it still haunts him

-He’s considered telling Jayme about you thousands of times just to get it off his chest and get a fresh perspective but he never goes through with it

-He’s a bit over-protective, getting suspicious of many of the people you come into contact with and when someone gives him a genuine reason to be he has a wonderful time tearing them apart (probably just verbally)

-He can’t stop himself from getting in pissing contests with any person who shows romantic interest in you

Sloane Hargreeves

-Sloane falls hard and is soon acting like a lovesick teenager, doing everything but doodling your name in her notebook

-Part of her is more nervous around you than she is in the tensest of battles and part of her is more carefree than she ever thought she could be

-She’s quite the daydreamer, imagining scenarios of the future you two could have together, or ways to confess her feelings

-She wants to learn anything about you that you’ll tell her

-She’s the only one that would really intend to act on her feelings, she already wanted to leave the academy but after falling for you that desire ramps up to 11

-She tries very hard to keep her family away from you and keep her crush a secret from them, only seeing you discreetly

-You can probably pick up on her crush, she treats you with almost too much kindness (especially from a Hargreeves) and is always brimming with enthusiasm to be around you

Sloane’s reaction to you having a crush on her

Jayme Hargreeves

-Attraction crosses her mind every time she sees you but it takes her a while to commit to the thought

-She tries to suppress her feelings, as since you’re almost definitely weaker than her caring about you makes her feel more vulnerable than she’d like

-She doesn’t talk to you much more than anyone else but what she has said has been able to make you laugh or blush

-She pokes fun at you a fair bit, partially to deflect from her soft spot for you and partially because she likes flustering you

-Alphonso is the only person that really suspects anything, he never directly addresses it (knowing all to well it’s not a safe subject) but he does occasionally subtly tease Jayme with the implication that he knows

-Despite loving her downtime she’d sacrifice it in a heartbeat to hang out with you

-She doesn’t bother trying to figure out if you like her back, partially fearing that you wont but also fearing that you will, because it still wouldn’t mean you could necessarily be together

Lost Memories | Ben Hargreeves

Summary: In which the reader and Ben were finally able to reunite. However, with the new Ben in town things get a little complicated.

Enjoy!! 🤍

Meeting the Sparrows were never an option and yet there they were. Each of them standing proudly by their family’s name not moving an inch. Your eyes wondered around the room having no clue on how to handle the situation. You watched innocently as your siblings tried to keep a straight face before striking a fight. It wasn’t before Diego noticed Ben’s awful personality. As if, the timeline they were at had brough not only Ben but a bunch of ego maniacs wishing only fame and power in the eyes of the world.

Sitting next to Diego you nudged him to calm himself down. Speaking in such tone wouldn’t make a different and you knew that. However, while the others started to argue about their wealth being, Ben’s eyes never left you out of sight. Not only he was baffled to see you here but with the awful attitude of his, got him this close to rip you out of your seat far away from Diego or anyone who dared to sat down next to you. Especially when it was another male’s presence. “Calm yourself.” Fei’s voice caught the boy quietly as she knew about the two people’s past. Ben needed time and patience before getting to you. Which for him, being patient wasn’t his cup of tea.

The next morning, you had joined Luther on a run. For once you were able to catch up on your life, decompress. Well, that is when both you and your brother were found unconscious. However, you did remember seeing a few similar silhouettes, and it wasn’t until Luther and you managed to wake up and were now found in a room. Grace’s warm welcome caught you off guard when you noticed you weren’t in the hotel anymore but back at the academy. “Shit.” Was all you could say when Luther with little subtle opened the curtains that welcomed the famous Sparrows sharing a not-so-welcoming. 

“Good morning.” You nervously gulp the moment you peaked behind Luther’s shoulder. Sloane noticed your presence as she smiled at both of you. You on the other stood a little bit on the cautious side quietly approaching, following Luther like a lost puppy. Which to Ben’s remark found it so pitiful. “Don’t mind him, he woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.” Fei smiled at you, somehow or someways Fei’s presence got you more warmth than the rest. So you smiled in return, completely ignoring Ben’s words.

As the day went on, you were able to discover the academy in a new retrospective. The library room was filled with books. Unlike your real father in your timeline of yours, hated reading or collecting classics. Losing yourself through the hallways you had forgotten the day had turned into night. You approached the third floor when you heard subtle voices which seemed to be arguing over something.

With curiosity, you walked silently knowing that the floor hadn’t been retouched and so creaks were heard if not cautious. “You are so delusional Fei. Did you even see how she ignored me the whole day?” It was Ben’s voice and as you leaned closer to the door, tried your best to get a glimpse of the conversation.

Fei looked at her brother with enjoyment. “Have you ever been in love, Ben?” In love. A strong word neither of you had experienced aside Luther, Allison, Viktor, Klaus and Five. Since your grief for Ben had drained you to the last drop, being loved or loving someone else had completely vanished from your memories. “Stop changing the subject Fei. I’m talking about Y/N right now and they had barely spoken a word to me since we met.”

It was true, after all, after seeing the new Ben not even Diego nor Klaus were to speak about him. Heck, if you were to find them in the same room chances are a deadly crime could be happening at any moment. “Maybe if you weren’t such an asshole around her maybe she will.”

You were so caught up with the conversation you had forgotten you were eavesdropping and the moment you heard the sound of heels walking in your direction. You were in some deep shit. Too late to hide, you were at least able to stand a little far away from the door pretending to walk when Grace smiled at you. The mother you once knew approached to say hi just when both Ben and Fei shared a look of confusion when they opened the door. “Y/N?” Ben was the first to notice, you on other had to find a solution to get out of this mess.

“I’ve- I’ve been helping Grace to bring the food…” You swore to yourself, hoping that maybe Grace’s knowledge was smarter. “She has! Isn’t she lovely? She even brought extra snacks.” With luck she wasn’t that of a dumb mechanic you thought she was especially when she gave you a delicate smirk and left the tray to her children, leaving you however, in the middle of a discussion.

“Well… I’ll leave.”

“Wait!” Ben caught you off guard when you felt his hand grip your arm. His eyes soften and yet showed confidence the moment he heard Fei’s snorts, holding the best she could not to be sick by the awful romance happening right before her eyes. “Alright, Alright I’ll leave.” She watched her brother hissing when she and her crows finally left the place, whispering a “good luck” quick enough before finally leaving.

It was then you both stood there. You are in the middle of the entrance of the room. Which Ben soon enough welcomed you in a quite uncomfortable way, to say the least. “So.. how’s it to be alive?” You knew the Ben who was standing right before you was in fact the same. And you were not ready nor wanted to know the answer to which why he was able to find a way to come back. Somehow, your remark had made him chuckle. “Well, it’s a long story…”

A long story indeed. But something about seeing Ben so vulnerable and yet not holding an inch to bring this asshole of personality of his. Had finally made you both able to be at least comfortable within the same room. “You know, I’ve been looking for you.” To your surprise, you were too. Well once you finally confess your time and sweat into being convinced that Ben’s presence has been here all along. Ben did the same. How he hated not seeing you anymore. The urge the protect you when he couldn’t. And with Klaus’s awful mannerism he had nightmares thinking just about the worse.

“I can say that maybe being in that timeline now, did have its good things, ugh?” You nervously chuckled, feeling your cheeks turning into a light shade of pink. Which Ben noticed and with a subtle way felt his fingers caressing your cheek. Leaning delicately to press a soft kiss on your forehead. “And we will try to end this timeline together.”

“Together.”

[virgil-is-a-cutie]

Legit I feel if...an au where all the siblings had kids once everything settled down and for fun au reasons Viktor was able to bring Sissy and Harlan to the present and used donors for each of them to have a kid or did the bone marrow thing

And Klaus and Dave who he was successful in bringing him back to life and used a surrogate and later also adopted

And for fun happy reasons Allison was pregnant with Ray's child that she didn't learn till they got back to the present

Luther finds their timeline's Sloane and courted and married 7 months into the relationship and had a kid not even 7 months later

Diego and Lila had twins btw

And Five adopts once he's physically 25 yrs old

Anyway.... I feel like Viktor's kids would be smart enough to learn every single thing about their dad's side of the fam once they old enough to form their own opinions

And they straight up dislike Allison and don't interact with her or her kids same goes for Luther

Sure they'll be polite but them talking to Allison and Luther would be passive aggressive

Why do I see Diego and Lila's kid having dyslexia and ADHD as well

The Hargreeves-Katz children their addiction is on coffee or sweets

Au: Five does kill Klaus in the car ride of death to the twine and they find out he's immortal and five helps Klaus master it instead.
