Klaus Orphan Au

Listen, I know it's past Christmas, but @kitlaurie 's Klaus fic, "Hard-Knock Life," has my whole heart, and if you haven't read it yet, then you absolutely should.

#klaus #klaus 2019 #klaus netflix #klaus movie #klaus orphan au #my babies #i love them #i couldn't find consistant designs #so i just improvised #also #does anyone know what happened to yvette's eye? #this is one of my fav scenes from the fic

[kitlaurie]

Sorry to pop in randomly. Idk if your still in the Klaus fandom or not, but I was thinking of your Orphan AU again and it hit me that when Klaus moves on/ disappears, it will of course stilk devastate Jesper, but now he has a gaggle of grown kids to help him through it and hhhhhhh

No worries! I may not be actively writing for Klaus right now or thinking about it quite as much but it's still got a warm place in my heart :)

And I've definitely had thoughts about Jesper getting through Klaus' departure with his kids there for him, and how the kids would react too. All these young adults/older teens just getting started with their own lives, some of them going out into the world, and suddenly they've lost a parent. There's a mix of Jesper getting comforted and needing to do some comforting as well. It's a very emotional time!

But on a softer note, when the kids find out about Klaus' yearly Christmas Eve visits Jesper has to fight for his time with him! All the kids wanting to tell their Papa what they've been up to or show him his grandkids

Going into the Bruce Wayne adopts a random fictional orphan famous AUs: Bruce Wayne becames the legal guardian of the Baudelaire childrem. Now Count Olaf can try to murder trick and steal TWO whole fortunes.

Imagine Klaus in the Wayne Massion library and discussing books with Jason and having conversations over feeling missplaced and not yet belonging to the Waynes even tho he fits with Duke and bonding with Barbara over her time as a librarian

Violet helping Lucius Fox invent equipament for Batman and bonding with Dick over their shared eldest daugther sindrome and working in the cars with Jason and Bruce and bomding with Tim because Tim totaly would not fall for Olaf's bs.

Sunny cooking with Alfred and being a menance with Damian and learning to talk with Cassandra and Bruce finally having the toddler experience and being besties with Stephanie who will see sassy powerfull baby and become automatically the cool older sister.

All while Count Olaf and Esme Squalor bond with the Rogues Gallery. And even fied with some of them.

Olaf discussing arson with Firefly and trying to outdrama Riddler and bounding with Deadstroke over the fact everyone forgets about their weird comentaries involving a fourteen years old.

Esme exanching date advices with Harley and doing make-up with Joker and bullying Jonathan because he dresses like a poor person.

All while Lemony(the only person that can maybe take Bruce's place over being the most paranoic human being ever) fails in finally meeting the Baudelaires because he keeps getting lost in Gotham because he is a trouble magnet and everything there is trouble.

Also Alfred sassing Mr. Poe. Everyone's dream.

For my personal preferences let Batman take the place of the Vilage of Fowl Devotees: that would mean that we still have Duncan and Isadora, we already have Esme and Jacques may not die. Absolute perfection.

ASOUE Alternate Universe (Universe Alteration) where everything about Violet and Klaus remains the same, but Sunny is now a young elementary school age child with an interest of cooking who also has the penchant to bite people she usually dislikes.

Face Claim for the Baudelaires of the AU (UA), I guess:

Violet Baudelaire: Alexis Bledel during Season One of Gilmore Girls (a representation of the early 2000s, especially 2000 itself, and Season One!Rory sort of fits the image of a Violet)

Klaus Baudelaire: Joseph Gordon-Levitt from the 1992 film A River Runs Through It (Adult Joseph Gordon-Levitt gives some Adult!Klaus vibes, so it's me trying to pull the inverse)

Sunny Baudelaire: Bailee Madison from 2007's Bridge to Terabithia; the last edit's photo though, is from the 2006 film Lonely Hearts (representation of the mid-2000s years)

Hope x Satine Au

@arandomnerdsrp358​

Hope had been uncertain what was expected of her, but she knew that help was necessary. Her mother was a senator who was supposed to meet Jedi Skywalker and Master Kenobi for a briefing on the front lines. The ship had nose dived on impact. Her abilities in the force had to be protected and hidden by her mother’s request. Padme had been like an Aunt to her and Obi-wan had quickly become like a hero to her. Hayley and Obi-wan had been old friends from his Padawan days. The elder man had even taken her to see the jedi temple to her mother’s terror. There were many secrets in her lineage that the young royal had yet to hear. No one knew who her father was. The force signature had to be from him. There were certainly a list of ideas as her mother was kind and knew many people. It was a big sense of contreversy on the holos and on their home world alike that the jedi were so near and dear to her even if only politically.This planet was new to her and the war would make it dangerous. The child’s ears were ringing and a little piece of shrapnel sticking out from her calf. Had they been shot down? Either way, the redhead needed help and the captain, her mother, and the others left in the aftermath. Uncle Obi-wan could keep them safe and protect them. The little force abilities she knew well would let her know of his presence close by. The thought hit her like a ringing bell that there was someone her elder friend spoke about with a smile seemingly designed for her alone. Duchess Satine. The customs here were still barely known to her though she had been reading up on them in the holos. There was probably a more dignified manner to go about things, but she was swaying on her tiny feet to get help just as soon as the thought had passed. Her vivid blue dress now slightly darkened just like the braids on top of her head. Dangers had to be forgotten in her pursuit of health and safety. It was a while of only feet and ground before guards appeared in her vision as well as the vision of halo like blonde hair in an updo that must have taken hours. There was no darkness in her signature and something told her it was safe. Hayley had no signs or acknowledgements of life. If it were truly over, she really was an orphan at seven. Unless her jedi or sith father would come through the wood work if they were alive. There was something motherly about this woman even if she was older and more dignified. “Please, please! Miss- Duchess Satine. My mother. Senator Hayley Marshall, and General Kenobi were supposed to meet with you. My name is Hope. Forgive me for being so frank, but everything is still so dizzy. Our ship went down. I didn’t see anyone so much as twitch though there could be survivors. Please help us. Obi-wan spoke of you like a friend so I had to find you. to be safe with you and get help.”

#because orphan hope sort of and obitine #i know we have a couple different aus #i hope this is okay #its random #and oc #but I had the idea #we could leave klaus out of it as originally he was gonna send hope in to hiding to besafe from him #he could already be dead or she knows him but not as her father #Hayley could be alive #or I thought maybe unfortunate found family #little princess and duchess

hi can i req a quigley quagmire x fem reader fic?? maybe has something to do with him being jealous + lots of fluff <33

Jealousy Gets You Nowhere (Quigley Quagmire X Reader)

Masterlist

Request Something!

Summary: Quigley doesn’t like the fact that Y/n and Klaus are friends.

A/N: AU where the Baudelaires and Quagmires aren’t orphans lol

***

Quigley Quagmire, like his siblings, always tried to stay optimistic. He believed that looking for a light would prevent you from getting lost in darkness. He was very trusting, quick to make new friends.

So it surprised you when your boyfriend didn’t seem to like one of your new friends, Klaus Baudelaire, that much.

You thought they would’ve gotten along perfectly. They were both interested in learning, especially about niche subjects. They were highly intelligent. Duncan and Isadora seemed to take a liking to Klaus, and usually the Quagmire triplets made pretty similar decisions when it came to who to befriend and trust.

Luckily, Klaus didn’t seem to notice. He didn’t notice how quickly Quigley disguised his displeasure when you introduced them to each other. He didn’t mind when Quigley gave a curt nod instead of shaking Klaus’ hand that was reaching out to him. He didn’t voice his confusion when Quigley’s eyes started darting between him and you with anger and accusation.

But you did. You saw it all, but had no idea why he was acting like this. He was just fine before you opened the door for Klaus. It’s not like Klaus was rude to Quigley in any way. But you had to hold back your questions until the Baudelaire boy had left, not wanting to make him feel unwelcome by pointing out Quigley’s behavior.

“Are you okay?” You asked your boyfriend as soon as the front door closed behind Klaus. You turned to see his expression was noticeably brighter.

“Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?” He asked, acting like his entire encounter (or lack thereof) with Klaus hadn’t happened. “Come on, Mom’s making lunch.” He held his hand out for you to take. You sighed before smiling at him. Maybe Quigley was just having an off day and didn’t want to be around a new person. So you decided to let it go.

“Okay.” You took his hand and made your way to the kitchen to see what Mrs. Quagmire was making.

***

If Quigley was having an off day, then he must have been having an off month. Whenever you as much as mentioned Klaus, sourness overtook him, and you had no idea why. But you had a plan to fix it. Klaus had invited you to the library for the afternoon and, with his permission, you dragged Quigley along. You had a feeling that if he knew Klaus would be there, he would make up some excuse to keep the both of you from going. So you decided to just “forget” that little detail.

“Hey, Klaus!” You whispered excitedly to your friend when you spotted him at a table, a small pile of books on it with one open in front of him. He lifted his head to smile at you and your boyfriend.

“Y/n, Quigley! Glad you could make it.” He responded in the same hushed but delighted tone. Quigley pulled out a chair for you to sit in and sat between you and Klaus. Your boyfriend looked at you, irritated that you neglected to tell him that this wasn’t a date to the library but a group hangout with someone he couldn’t seem to stand.

“Sorry we took so long. Quigley needed some convincing to get out of the house.” You said. Klaus waved you off.

“I get that. If I’m being honest, I’m really only here because I’ve read every book in our library.” It amazed you how big of a reader Klaus was. He soaked up every piece of information like a sponge that never stopped expanding.

“Every book?” Quigley asked, arms crossed. He seemed just interested in how Klaus could manage to read so much, but you could tell that he was in disbelief that he could do such a thing. As if it was impossible and Klaus only said it to be impressive.

“It took a while, but yes, every book.” Klaus smiled at your boyfriend, before looking at you. “Speaking of books, I found that one you recommended to me. It’s very interesting so far.”

“I knew you’d like it!” You grinned, seeing that the book you had suggested to Klaus was the one he was reading now. You stood from your seat. “I’ll be right back. I’m gonna grab a book I’ve been looking for.”

“I’ll come with you.” Quigley said eagerly. He stood up and pulled you away from the table and towards the maze of bookcases, despite not knowing what book you were looking for. You started leading the way when he was about to pass the section you knew the book was in. “Why didn’t you tell me he would be here?” Your boyfriend asked with annoyance as he watched you search the shelves.

“You wouldn’t have come if I told you.” You shrugged. “What’s your problem with Klaus, Quigley? He’s been nothing but friendly to you since the start.”

“Oh, and I bet he’s been just friendly to you as well.” Although your back was turned to him, you could feel his eyes roll. You turned around.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Don’t tell me you’re blind, Y/n.” Quigley huffed. When you didn’t budge, he started to do an impression of your friend. “Look at me, I’m so smart. I’ve read every book in my library. I’m such a genius. Oh, Y/n, I love your book recommendations. I’d read every book under the sun if you suggested it because I love words!” You had to hold back a laugh. Sure, it was funny, but this was your friend that Quigley was making fun of.

“He doesn’t sound like that.” You said as you turned back around, trying to find the book you wanted.

“I don’t know. I think I was spot on.” 

“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were jealous.” Quigley didn’t respond. Finally spotting the book on a higher shelf, you looked around for a stool to drag over. You set one up and looked at him. “Oh my god, Quigley, you are jealous.”

“No, I’m not.” He rolled his eyes, but he moved to stand beside you when you stood up on the stool. Even though you were balanced, he put a hand on your hip, just in case. 

“I think you are.”

“I’m not.” He said with finality. He glanced up to see you pull out a book. “Did he recommend that to you?” You smiled, taking his hand as you stepped down to the floor.

“Nope.” You turned the book cover to him. “You did.” He looked at the title and it was indeed the book that he was talking to you about earlier that week. He didn’t technically suggest it for you to read, but he knew that you liked trying to show an interest in the things he was interested. 

“Oh…” He didn’t really know what to say now. You squeezed his hand.

“Klaus and I are just friends, Quigley. I only have eyes for you. I’m dating you, after all.”

“I’m sorry.” He said sheepishly.

“I’m not the one you should be apologizing to. Klaus has been nothing but kind, and your jealousy made you a bit of a jerk.” You started to walk back to the table, pulling him with you. “Come on. Time to say sorry.” 

Quigley tugged you back before the two of you could get too far. Wrapping his arm around you, he kissed your forehead before resting his head on yours.

“I’m sorry, N/n. I just don’t like sharing you, I guess.” You smiled.

“It’s okay. You just have to get used to it.” He nodded and the two of you broke apart, hands still interlocked. “And get used to it fast, because I’m having lunch with his sisters tomorrow.” Quigley groaned behind you as you two walked towards the table.

“There’s more of them?”

[cygninae]

I was just stalking through all of my old WIPs, and so here's a comprehensive list (that no one asked for) of all the ASOUE fanfictions I scrapped:

A character study on Quigley Quagmire, focusing on his upbringing, him being a 'problem child', him being diagnosed with ADHD and depression, etc.

A character study on Quigley experimenting with gender roles: a sort of 5 + 1 thing of them coming to terms with gender non-conformity

A Quiglet oneshot of Violet doing Quigley's makeup.

A character study/Quigley-centric fic that focused on his insomnia and how he'd already discovered the tunnel system under their house from his late-nights wandering the mansion

A dunklaus fic where Duncan was covering a story about Klaus, a reclusive artist who gifted his art rather than selling it. Duncan gets a little too involved.

A dunklaus AU fic where Duncan took a job as the Baudelaire's gardener

A dunklaus + Quiglet + Beamony AU set in WW2

A Viodora fic that was just a collection of Isadora's poetry written across the time she got to know Violet

A dunklaus au where they were both university professors

Dunklaus fake-dating AU where they pretend to date to get Violet off Klaus' back about getting over Fiona and finding love again

A Quiglet one-shot character study from Quigley's POV, him moving on from Violet

A Dunklaus AU taking inspiration from Anne of Green Gables (1800s setting, academic rivals, accidentally starting VFD)

A dumb modern Quiglet AU where they meet at a concert, Violet realises Sunny has run off, and her and Quigley have to find her. They bicker a lot because they disagree on which album is their favourite artist's best one

A Dunklaus post-canon fic where Klaus becomes a famous author under a nom de plume and Duncan stumbles across one of his books that is about him

Quiglet post-canon fic where the Baudelaires find Quigley after he failed to save his siblings

(Actually finished, just never posted it because it's rubbish) Dunklaus sorta reincarnation oneshot where Duncan works in a museum and Klaus is an immortal being who consistently is his muse in every lifetime. One of Duncan's favourite marble statues in the gallery was actually created by him, for Klaus, hundreds of years before but he doesn't remember until he sees Klaus again

Dunklaus oneshot where the whole group attended an actual boarding school. No olaf or anything. Just a wintery plot-less thing

(Also finished, also too shit to post) Modern Dunklaus one shot where Duncan runs a record store with his siblings and Klaus comes in one day. Literally just everyone teasing the two for 6k words straight. (favourite excerpt: '“So, why didn’t you ask him out?” Isadora asked, probably aiming for casual, except the way she was leaning on the wall like she was posing for an 80s boy band poster, and the way her voice was just a bit too high pitched, meant she wasn’t being very convincing.

Duncan gave her a flat look. “I have had two conversations with him,” he said, turning back to the receipt he was marking and ignoring the look she was giving him, which solidly said stop being purposefully obtuse.'

Post-canon Violet-centric Quiglet one shot. Just Violet reminiscing and moving on

Dunklaus AU where the Baudelaires are exchange students from France to Prufrock Prep. Extremely angsty and absolutely nothing happy happens. Just wanted to exercise the French Baudelaires headcanon

(Alot of this one was already written) Dunklaus AU where they're partnered up for a VFD mission

Quiglet magical AU where Quigley is a magical creature that lives in the woodland behind Monty's house where Violet and Klaus move after they're orphaned

Dunklaus and Quiglet (but not the main focus) - AU where the Baudelaires leave with Lemony after the fire at Hotel Denouement and become increasingly morally grey. When they reunite with the Quagmires a year later, they're practically unrecognisable from what fighting both against and with VFD has done to them

Violet and Klaus character study on how they deal with their grief; there was a little bit of Viodora and Duncan and some funny antics. The only WIP on this list entirely in French. Never posted it because there would be no interest and it didn't have a plot particularly

I'm pretty sure there are more that I just can't find or deleted but yeah...God there's a lot. These span over several years of being obsessed with asoue and ships in the fandom that I fell in love with that had (and still have) a painful lack of attention online, so I made my own content

[mashpotatoequeen]

can you make a crossover fic with asoue? like where the baudelaires go to live with mr benedict

also constance and sunny would be besties

Okay-

I don't think I have it in me to write a fill asoue and tmbs crossover, especially cause I know for a fact that a couple of very talented people have already written some truly lovely fics for this exact cocept, but this prompt is definitely making Me Think.

Cause like. You have have this trio of kids. Maybe even six kids, if the triplets are with them, and they are tired. They are traumatised. They have been through one ordeal after another and they are so disillusioned that they're holding onto eachother with nails dug in tight. They're a script that has been written into the marrow of their bones and the Baudelaires have accepted that their lives are tragic ones. No one is gonna be there for them but themselves, their books and their smarts and their teeth.

And then they show up at Mr. Benedict's house.

And the Benedicts are an eclectic and odd bunch. There are so many of them, and between the lot of them its so easy to find people who love books and create machines and make excellent food. I can see Klaus's fingers twitching in anticipation to read a new book as soon as Reynie has finished it, and Violet making little mechanical contraptions for Kate's bucket, and Sunny sitting in the kitchen with Moocho all quite happily.

But that's gonna come later. Cause they're tired, and they're wary. And they've had guardians who were kind and clever and good before. And they died, quite horribly, and it just seems safer to not get too attached.

I think it's going to make a difference, the fact that The Mysterious Benedict Society kids are there and they clearly trust these adults. That, or the Baudelaires (and Quagmires, if they're there too), are gonna watch them with a bit of jealousy and longing fostered into their chests until they eventually realise all that love is waiting for them, too.

(I can see them making a quiet pack among themselves, these unfortunate orphans, to run away before harm befalls these grown ups and ruins the lives of more kids. They wouldn't wish this existence on anyone.)

If I'm honest, though. If I'm really honest. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of an ASOUE and TMBS crossover is one Number Two.

Number Two, who is peculiar and never sleeps and is incredibly talented and who was never listened to growing up.

Maybe Number Two had her own adventures with VFD. Her own unfortunate childhood where she was thrown into a world of grown ups all trying to get the upper hand, where no one was really good or evil and justice was not wrought. Maybe she dreams of her own snakes, and her own fires, and a bad beginning that steamrolled into a malady of a middle and then an erroneous ending.

Like. I can just see it, in my mind. Number Two's justified rage on their behalf, the way she can look at them as a grown up who made it through a childhood of being ignored, and can empathize. She knows how ugly it can feel, to be that desperate and that clever and that lonesome when all the adults in your life who should have been there to help you just fail you abjectly. The way she would tell them never again and mean it fullheartedly.

(The way she can tell them, hey, you'll get through this, and it won't erase all the hurt and the pain but you'll get to be okay anyway, and mean it.)

It's a family who loves Truth. Who holds it as an ideal close to their chests. I think that these unfortunate orphans could use some of that.

(I want Olaf to go to jail, in this AU. I want him to come to the door cleverly disguised, and I want Number Two to smartly, with no hesitation, punch him in his smug face. I want Milligan to come in with his cuffs and his agent connections, and I want Olaf taken away. I want the Baudelaires to never have to see him again, for him to be a sad pitiful man in a cell who never gets the fame and fortune he so desperately desired to fill up that empty hole in his chest with.)

The Bauldalaires make Pasta Puttanesca, a few months in. Mr. Benedict takes them shopping for ingredients- they take a couple of detours to get books and invention supplies, but that's only to be expected. Rhonda offers some tips and tricks that she's picked up over the years with Violet while carefully chopping the onions, and Sticky excitedly chatters with Klaus about a newly published research paper from one of their favourite authors. Constance and Sunny - who are best friends, and appreciate the other's intelligence- happily discuss favourite foods and peculiarities of being young.

The whole family raves over it, delighting at the handmade pasta and complimenting the sauce. Miss Perumal, Moocho, and the Washingtons take care of the after dinner clean up. The kids are shooed upstairs, laughing and talking over one another and stumbling slightly into eachother's space in the narrow halls. None of them mind, not really.

They have they're whole lives ahead of them, after all. It's going to be okay.

[crimsonlyinglilly]

Hale the boy grew, part two.

more of the Grandfather Elijah AU

Summary - Elijah makes a different choice in the wake of Tatia's death.

Follows on from Part 1

----

It’s not even a week after they started travelling before he starts to grow hungry, not the hunger that could be stated by the travel rations he had packed and Hale had pushed on him when the child had noted Elijah not eating any himself .

After the third time he found his eyes drawn to Hale’s neck and noticed he had grown distracted by the boy’s heartbeat, he swallowed.

He wasn’t going to lose control of himself, the whole point of this was getting Hale somewhere safe, not repeating his mistake and dooming Hale to the same death that had cost Tatia her life. 

He tells the boy to guard their camp while he goes out for a hunt.

The boy takes his request seriously, and he doesn’t need to fake the smile that takes over his face at the boy.

He takes his bow with him even if part of him knows it wont use it.

The rabbits he finds he catches with his new speed and drains quickly without thinking, he brings them back to the camp and sets about preparing them, showing Hale how it’s done, the skins, once tanned will be perfect for gloves and a hat to keep the boy warm as winter approaches.

Hale is thankfully a child and as such doesn’t ask where the arrow wounds are.

—-

He knows there getting closer to a village when he notices signs of other hunters in the area.

It’s luck that he finds a deer instead of a human when his new hunger reminds him of his new monstrous existence. He finds himself hating his parents at every reminder. 

He preferred to have stayed dead from father’s blow than face the monster he had become but it was too late for that now Hale needed him, maybe after he found somewhere safe for the boy he’d look to see what it took to end his new life.

Surely his family didn’t need him anymore, he wasn’t sure he could face living knowing he had taken Tatia’s life. 

—

Klaus kills Esther out of anger, at her lie destroying his life, for making him weak all his life only to make him a monster, for letting Mikael get away with everything, for taking Kol’s magic and Rebekah chance at children of her own, for driving Finn away with her betrayal, for the ongoing absence of Elijah after he killed the woman they loved. 

—--

They had been travelling for several months by the time Elijah finds a village he accepts far enough from their start that it should keep his family from coming here and without a nearby pack of wolves to ensure a repeat of Henrik isn’t at risk for Hale.

Elijah watches the village for days, using his newfound speed to travel to watch it and return before Hale grows worried, just to make sure it’s safe enough for him, to find a family able and one that would love him as Tatia did as Elijah would have.

The last thing he wanted was to deliver Hale into a family anything like his, parental love only a thin excuse that brought more harm and pain than anything else.

Hale sees through him as they approach the village, his little hand clinging tighter around his larger hand.

“Never leave me.” teary eyes stared up at him, “Promise you won’t leave.”

Elijah stares down at the child, the orphan he made, the little boy he had dreamed of calling his son.

Hale deserved better than to be raised by a monster by the beast that killed his mother, he shouldn’t be loved by Elijah because Elijah didn’t deserve to but Elijah had already taken Tatia from him, fled from the only home he knew, how could he take the last familiar thing from him.

“I promise.” The words escape him without his intention, the eight year old beams and throws himself at him, Elijah smiles back and picks him up without another word. 

Maybe one day he’ll be able to smile without guilt trying to choke him.

---

They last through plagues and illness when Elijah remains the only one unaffected, as he learns all the additions his mother’s spell caused, as he watches the- his boy grow.

---

Ten years later, he admits the truth, Tatia’s death at his hand to the bo- no man and waits, it’s a week of silence before he’s asked why he stayed.

“I promised I wouldn’t leave.” he answers, the memory of the little hand in his as clear as if it was just the day before. he would if Hale asked now no matter how much it would hurt.

The boy- his son is quiet for a moment before nodding

He doesn’t leave.

---

He smiles with awe as his first grandchild is placed in his arms, guilt a distance memory in that moment. It returns later with horror as it settles in that Hale is going to outgrow him soon, grow older than Elijah ever will. That he’s going to watch as his son and grandchildren grow old around him.

Eighty years after that promise, Elijah holds the same hand, grown larger than his own and wrinkled as the heart beat slows.

Elijah knew this day was coming, truly since his son had grown older than him, watching him grow older still, he should be proud and he was as Hale met a girl and started a family of his own, when he was presented with a fragile bundle and called him grandfather.

But still it was a reminder that Elijah wasn’t part of their life anymore, that Elijah was frozen as they all moved on.

When Elijah’s first grandson started to look older than him he walked away, promised Hale he’d be back, he walked for two days without stopping before he broke, knees to the floor he screamed, raged at mother for doing this, at father for taking the final blow, at nature for allowing it, at himself for everything.

At the tiny eight year old who made him promise to never leave.

He screamed until he tasted his own blood, screamed until he couldn’t anymore and screamed again once his throat healed.

He was going to watch his son die- no he was watching his son die.

Every passing day was bring it closer and nothing he did would fix it.

He was going to watch them all fade away. His grandchildren who he had held as they made their first noise, who had taken their first step to him, one day he would see their last,

It wasn’t the hunger that was the worst, the instincts he had smothered to control, it was time, something he never had a chance against.

Inch-resting . Doesn't that create problems in monogamy for him? Even if he doesn't cheat, just subconsciously starting liking someone else who seems to value you will create problems imo?

Taking this opportunity to ask for Klicky angsttt where Klaus genuinely has a crush on someone else - just someone he looked up to (like a teacher or anyone) eho validated him and had some thoughts but decided against it because he loved vicky a lot more .

Far From The Eyes, Close To The Heart | The Umbrella Academy AU

Pairing: Klaus x Vicky (OC - The Eighth Child’ Verse)

Word Count: 1,2 k

Warning: Strong language, angst

a/n: Yes! I believe he has issues with monogamy because he never really understood his feelings and what love is supposed to feel like. Thanks for the amazing suggestion and I love the ship name Klicky. Hope you like it <3

(Masterlist)

It had been over a year since Klaus fell into that alleyway and found himself completely lost in Dallas. Just as he managed to confess his feelings to Vicky... Of course that would happen, the little girl on the bike must really not like him.

Even though it didn't seem like he would ever meet any of his siblings again (except for Ben of course), a little voice in his head still held him back, saying they were still out there. Vicky was still out there waiting for him. Whenever he saw anything beautiful, he couldn't help remembering her and sometimes it would bring tears to his eyes.

The cult was full of attractive people who would most likely be willing to have sex with their leader. Sometimes it occurred to him the thought of sleeping with them, but always at the last second, he couldn't. He even failed to... get it up a few times, which he attributed to divine intervention. 

What really got him going was the memory of the few times he got to be with Victoria. He still remembered perfectly, the taste of her lips, the softness of her skin, the smell of her perfume. He remembered that electric sensation when she first kissed him in Vietnam, the excitement of waking up next to her, the whispered conversations they had when they thought the world was ending.

"Be alive, be alive, be alive..." he mumbled. It was taking longer than it did in Vietnam, it was getting harder and harder to hold out hope every day that passed.

"How long are you gonna stay out here pretending to meditate?" a voice called him as he sat under a tree next to the mansion. They had just returned from Greece and Klaus decided to buy the engagement ring, even though he didn't know if she would ever get to wear it.

"Hey, Justin," he turned around with a sad smile. "Why don't you sit down?"

Justin was a young man in his late 20s, tall and muscular, with wavy blonde hair and blue eyes. He had a nose that seemed sculpted and a velvety voice that could make anyone tremble. He wasn't technically part of the Destiny's Children, he was there simply because his younger (and much more gullible) brother, Matthew, decided to join about four months before that conversation took place.

He knew it was a cult, but Matthew didn't see it that way, so Justin followed wherever his brother went to protect him as they were both orphans since Justin was just a teenager. 

"Why do you say I'm pretending to meditate?" Klaus asked.

"Because I never heard the mantra be alive, it sounds more like a prayer."

"It is, but it doesn't mean I'm not meditating on it."

"Who are you praying for?" Justin asked. 

"My siblings, I think you know how that feels. I haven't seen them in so long."

Justin nodded. He didn't believe Klaus was a prophet, he didn't even believe the man knew what he was talking about most of the time, but he recognized a good person under all the bullshit and his crazy facade. That knowledge quickly turned into attraction, which quickly turned into a crush.

"I do, are you orphans too?" 

"Yeah, our father died just a while back and our mom... was crushed when our house collapsed."

"Really? Or is that more bullshit?"

"It's true. If you think all I say is bullshit then why are you still here?"

"You know why."

"Because of Marcus."

"Matthew," Justin corrected with a chuckle. "Yeah, him too."

Klaus noticed how the man looked at him, he knew that look well and it usually brought a cocky smirk to his face, but it was more complicated this time. 

First, there was Dave, then there was Vicky. Too many times he had his heart broken. Even though, he couldn't help imagining what it would be like being with Justin. A nice guy with his life somewhat together, wasn't embarrassed to demonstrate his feelings and treated him like he mattered. All of that made his heart race a little, but he would never admit it to Ben, who was always bugging him about it.

"Can I ask you a question?" Justin murmured, finally gathering the courage to say something.

"Yeah, but you'll probably say the answer is bullshit," Klaus laughed.

"Why have you never slept with anyone here? It's a house full of people, you must be attracted to at least one of them..."

"Honestly, at this point, I have no idea. It just doesn't feel right I guess."

"Is there anyone you would consider being with?" 

"Yeah, definitely."

Klaus and Justin exchanged a look. They both knew they were attracted to each other and more than that, they even liked each other, but so far none of them took the first step. 

Tired of waiting, Justin leaned in for a kiss, which Klaus reciprocated at first, but after a moment, he pulled away. 

"I- I can't," he breathed, though he hadn't felt that good in ages, he really missed the giddy feeling of being wanted and touched in that way.

"Why not?" the young man tried to not let his disappointment show.

"I'm already taken."

"By who?"

"Her name is Victoria, she's been the love of my life ever since I learned what love was. We grew up together and I knew deep inside she felt the same way, but we took too long to say anything and then I lost her. Now I don't know where she is, if she's alive, if she's doing well," Klaus' voice cracked as a tear rolled down his cheek. "There isn't one day I don't regret not saying something sooner, wasting all that time we could've spent together."

"She's a very lucky lady."

"I'm the lucky one. She's the most loving person I've ever met, she loved me when I was unlovable, when I was destroyed. I don't know what I ever did to deserve someone like her."

Saying those things out loud unlocked something in him and Klaus started sobbing for the first time in a long time. He imagined Vicky wouldn't like to see him cry and if she was alive she could probably hear him in her head, but he couldn't help it. He just missed her more than he could ever explain. He didn't feel like a person, part of him was empty, longing for that voice, that laugh. 

"It's all right!" Justin rubbed his back soothingly. "I thought you liked me... I was stupid, sorry I mixed things up."

"I do like you, that's the thing. You're very handsome and sweet, what's not to like? I just-"

"Love her."

"Yeah," Klaus breathed.

"Don't worry, I understand," he shrugged, though he was pretty much gutted as well. Even with all the sadness, he admired that devotion, it was beautiful and he hoped one day someone would feel the same way about him.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Victoria was working, dusting the display TVs while Elliott took a break. She heard loud and clear: I can't keep living without her. 

"I miss you too, Klausie," she whispered to herself.

okay please tell me about victorian incest ghost story and blackmail au [chinhands]

So the victorian incest ghost story is basically Caroline being "orphaned" (young unmarried woman in the 1800s London) and needs a husband. Marries Klaus when she barely knows him but there are some....unsettling rumors surrounding Klaus and the death of his first wife. When they get the manor he owns, things are not as they seem....

Blackmail AU has a short story called I'll Handle It in my "Last Love" story but I had a longer version that dives into who blackmailed Caroline and how Klaus....handles it.

A Les Mis AU idea came into my head.

We know A Serie of Unfortunate Events, Violet, Klaus and Sunny is sent to live with Count Olaf who hunts them down to Get their fortune.

Imagine that story Line, only instead of Violet, Klaus and Sunny, it’s Eponine, Azelma and Gavroche instead.

Eponine-Violet

Azelma-Klaus

Gavroche-Sunny

And Then maybe Monsieur Thénardier could be Count Olaf and Patron-Minette could be Olaf’s troupe

Then maybe Valjean could be Like Jacques Snicket and Fantine could be Kit or something.

Cosette and Enjolras could be the Quagmires with Feuilly as their missing brother(He’a an orphan so Enj and Cosette parents adopted him)

Just a funny idea

of course bestie

he still looks like this lad from the original klave version of this au (minus Pogo ofc)

(they share sets of earrings)

he’s an orphan because isn’t everyone who gets involved with this family, and he was mostly brought up by his uncle but got kicked out when he was eighteen for being a f[redacted] and for a while he was sofa surfing until he had enough to get a lil vw camper like the true hippy stoner legend he is. he’s a few years older than Klaus (probably like 24? Klaus is 21) and he has like three different part time minimum wage jobs while also studying photography part time and his side hustle is going out and asking strangers if he can photograph them and when they agree he’s like “great that’ll be $5 please :-)” and he fell in love the second Klaus walked into the studio because he looked insane <3

asoue au (inspired by the six baudelaires au by @unfortunate-stranger-losers) involving book!quagmire triplets and netflix!quagmire triplets existing in the same universe as cousins because book!mr. quagmire and netflix!mrs. quagmire are siblings (book!mr. quagmire is adopted by netflix!mrs.quagmire’ parents). stuff that happens/is consider in this au:

book!quagmire fire happens first. book!quigley is thought to be dead in the fire for a year and a half (the replacement for three semesters, though i think a year and a half is three semesters proper), forcing book!duncan and book!isadora to live without their brother even longer. the twins comments hurt more now, because for almost a year and a half, from an outsider perspective, they do appear as twins, getting it more constantly.

due to the year and a half, book!quigley is more into vfd, being closer to a proper volunteer than he was in canon. book!quigley not reuniting with his siblings and getting an ‘apprenticeship’ was something approved of by the netflix!quagmire parents; by the time they learned of his survival. their family became targets. so it was best for book!quigley to stay separated.

(the revelations of the above has both sets of triplets losing their shit because ‘hey mom and dad/aunt and uncle what the f-’. netflix!quigley loses it the worst upon learning his cousin is alive. because while netflix!quigley is all up and interested in the vfd stuff, he doesn’t trust jacques as much as book!quigley, due to spending three weeks and a half vs. a year and a half.)

regarding the situation of the dorms and orphan shack, netflix!mr.quagmire was ready to sign the slips for both sets of triplets (because it’s time to get them into vfd training due to book!quigley’s situation). but the netflix!quagmire fire destroyed those slips. netflix!isadora -who now has the special interest in handwriting forgery- stole two slips from the office (she took it because she thought it would be important later), forged her dead father’s signature, and complained about how they did have their slips the whole time, but a lack of secretary had nero overlooking it (nero is rather apologetic).

the sack of flour is no more. book!duncan is klaus, netflix!isadora is violet, and book!isadora is sunny (she’s just crawling). netflix!duncan helps the baudelaires for their final exams because this kid is a real avid note taker compare to his sister and cousins. the poor boy cries his eyes out as he watches his sister and cousins get kidnapped at the end of taa.

netflix!isadora kisses klaus on the cheek, because she is bi and has a crush on him. she once had a crush on carmelita, but her personality + bullying got netflix!isadora going ‘NOPE’. book!isadora is a lesbian and never gets a crush on carmelita, and mocks netflix!isadora for it at times because ‘really? HER?’, the tables turn when it’s reveal book!isadora got a crush on violet. i guess i can say here book!quigley gets the romance with violet, while netflix!duncan keeps his minor crush on violet that goes nowhere (and one violet never learns about). book!duncan and netflix!quigley don’t have time for crushes; they have other things to focus on.

netflix!duncan is the first to understand the hansel and gretel reference because his special interest is history/folktales/fairytales (his interests has him needing to be an avid note taker, in his perspective at least). netflix!duncan also stays behind with his sister and cousins down in the shaft, so the quagmires disappearance worries the baudelaires even more.

book!isadora and netflix!duncan are throw out of the truck at the end of tee, because count olaf, esme, and the troupe realize they need one of each triplet set to get the full quagmire fortune. they kept book!duncan because he’s the eldest of his triplet siblings, and netflix!isadora because she’s mistaken for the eldest of her triplet siblings, and the bald man’s creepiness has book!duncan entering protective cousin mode and medical care.

netflix!quigley special interest is photography. astro-photography. the boy took so many photos of the night sky he knows enough about the stars and constellations, that after the two boys escape monty’s burning house, sometimes travel at night.

both sets of triplet cousins upon seeing fernald, jump and try beating the shit out of him. at least the duncans and isadoras. the quigleys are just watching from the sidelines because they don’t have that much beef with the man.

#randomity things #ramblings #asoue au #uh... #quagmire triplets cousins au #(i doubt i'll develop more of this au but just in case) #(i got my widdershins family curse concept au to worry about already) #(hmm i should go back on working on it) #(i miss it)

five isn’t sure what he’s meant to do with himself in this new timeline. a fresh slate, created through agony has left all of them changed at a molecular level. their powers, something intrinsically linked to their identity and being have been stripped away. luther was brought back from death minus the alterations their father made to him. diego has regained several digits he’ll probably waste on some idiotic hero plot he’s cooked up for himself. klaus has lost most of his tattoos and five has regrown the arm he only just lost.

it’s disconcerting that while that injury healed his age regression did not change. while his body feels older it’s not the fifty-eight year old form he’s meant to have. instead, he’s still stuck in the thirteen year old body he’s been forced to accept over the past three weeks. he feels trapped more so than even the apocalypse. without blinking, he cannot run. cannot escape. it’s claustrophobic, in a way. he can’t fight as well, either. or make sure his family stay safe. he’s useless. a child when they are all adults.

everyone had walked away from him to figure out their lives and five once again remembered he didn’t fit. didn’t have a place to belong. a life to return to that might have survived the reset. instead, he’s a thirteen year old homeless orphan in all but mind. and he has no idea what he’s meant to do.

five only knows service. goals. purpose. he’s spent so long preparing to save the world and his family now it isn’t in danger he can’t function. so he steals delores back and takes off. while he’s not an adult there are plenty of ways for someone to make a living online with his intelligence. a small apartment bought through a helpful drunk looking for cash and not wanting to ask questions and settles in to...grow old again? he doesn’t know and quite frankly he doesn’t care.

if the world is going to end, let it. fuck everything. 

the knock at his door has him grabbing a gun he’s gotten from another easy to manipulate drunk and slipping it into the waistband of his trousers. the suit jacket covers it perfectly as he opens the door just a crack to see a familiar face.

“how did you find me?”
