Are you in any fandoms outside of VC?
Yeah lmao please come talk to me about The Umbrella Academy!!!
Even though the fandom has kinda died and I'm not super active on my tua accounts, I hyperfixated on that show like you wouldn't believe LOL. My most popular AO3 fic is still a Klave fic, and to this day, my proudest writing project ever was the spec script I wrote just for fun over the pandemic :)
I have a lot of complaints about the show (mainly that anything past the first season is garbage and I still kinda prefer the comics LOL) but the pilot season is one of those comfort pieces of media that I can literally quote word for word, I know the episode breakdowns shot by show, I've written hundreds of thousands of words of meta on the characters.
And it's like...really weird, because I came into the TUA fandom from the VC fandom, where I'm consistently the youngest person in the room, but TUA fans are so so much younger than me so it gave me a lot of whiplash and I felt lonely most of the time because I wanted to engage with TUA on the same Heightened Level that I engaged with VC! I wanted to write meta, I wanted to break down the smallest character details! I wanted to talk about character motivations, psychological traumas, pre-canon and post-canon ideas...and I just did not end up finding my niche with folks. Most of my posts ended up being met with crickets, which is fine, but I just think it's really funny after being in the VC fandom for so long!
Anyway, I know this is sacrilegious to say, but as a character, I understand Klaus Hargreeves way better than I do Louis de Pointe du Lac. I spent every single day of my life for 3+ years writing for Klaus on my rp account. I know his speech patterns, his zig-zagging train of thought, his very distinct mannerisms, I know what he eats for breakfast, I know his favorite band, I know what he carries in his pockets, I know what exactly he was doing at any given time, at any given point in his life as a child, teen, or adult.
He feels like an old friend to me, whereas Louis still feels like a bit of an enigma (of course, that has it's own charm and that's why I love him!). I cannot over-emphasize how much this show changed my life and how whole-heartedly I love Klaus Hargreeves :)

ah, and i don't know if it's true, so i have no safe source, but apparently there has been a deleted episode where the handler kissed old five. it wouldn't surprise me that much though, she's kind of way too obsessed with him. the relationship between them you describe in your fics make a lot of sense to me. too bad we won't be getting material of deleted scenes, it really interests me what they cut out.
I don't think this was a deleted scene, I think you're thinking of the 23rd birthday spec script written by a writing assistant on TUA S1. It's extremely good but it's not content that was cut by the show: it was her unused pitches, so it's essentially fanfiction written by someone who just happened to work on the show at some point.
Link below but I will also paste the Five and Handler part underneath the link!
After meeting and kissing a suffragist called Dolores in 1920s Constantinople, Five gets a new job. The Handler sends him to New York on the siblings' joint 23rd birthday as a test to see if he will go AWOL. Naturally he does and immediately turns up at the academy.
The Handler appears and the following exchange happens:
THE HANDLER (O.S.)
Happy birthday, Mister Five.
Five turns, sees THE HANDLER right next to him. She wears her familiar red pumps, and stands under a lacy black umbrella.
OLD MAN FIVE
October 1st… I’d forgotten.
She approaches, lifting the umbrella so it covers them both.
THE HANDLER
(re: the umbrella)
Fitting, isn’t it?
OLD MAN FIVE
Almost like you planned it.
THE HANDLER
You know me too well already, Five. But I don’t know you well enough just yet, it seems.
She moves even closer into his personal space. It’s
uncomfortably intimate.
THE HANDLER (CONT’D)
I thought certainly you were too intelligent to believe we would send you on such a tempting assignment when we have a whole selection of temporal assassins at our disposal.
OLD MAN FIVE
(realizing)
This was a test.
THE HANDLER
And you flunked it, I’m sad to say. So much skill, but no loyalty, none at all.
OLD MAN FIVE
You don’t want to lose me. I’m still the best you’ve got.
THE HANDLER
That’s right. You’re mine.
Without breaking eye contact, she closes the final gap between them and kisses him. Old Man Five remains impassive, his eyes shut, as her lips touch his under the umbrella. It feels nothing like when Delores kissed him, only hours yet a lifetime ago. The Handler pulls away, dominance asserted.
It's creepy as balls!

There’s Going to be Some Changes - T | 2k+ | 1/? | The Umbrella Academy
The first thing that Five does, as the white-blue light fades from Allison’s vision, is to growl, “Don’t fuck everything up.” The second thing he does is pass out.
They’ve got figure out where they are, and when they are. Figure out how to stop the end of the world. It took Five, who’s basically a genius, if a bratty one, over forty years, and that wasn’t long enough. Now the rest of them are on the clock, and Five is unconscious.
It’s time for ‘The Hargreeves Try to Save The World,’ take three.
aka, what happens after s1 ends, which is already clearly not where the show is going, but! it'll be a good canon-divergent time.
I’ve been calling this my 1963 fic, and I guess it’s sort of an alternate s2. This is a true ensemble piece - all the sibs are in it, and all of them get to be the pov character at some point. It’s going to end up long and it’s still a wip but I just got so excited to post it!
#the promo pics and people talking about how if it's the 60s maybe Dave'll be there and I just!!!#I've been thinking about that for sooo long and it's what got me started writing this fic! so I had to share#tua fic#tua#umbrella academy fic#s2 spec fic#TGtbSC#I changed the title I'll have to go back and retag the posts about this#anyway I'm planning to put chapter two up later this week but I can NOT promise a reliable schedule sorry#this chapter is just one scene#a little teaser#from Dave's pov as he meets the WEIRDEST guy I wonder who that could be....

Old Timer
Summary: Five distances himself from a lot of things in his struggle with his age. Klaus reminds him that fun has no age limit. Angst and mentions of death.
Don’t worry! This is a season 1 fic (though season 2 watchers might spot a few accidental predictions I made while writing this). There are no spoilers.
Anon, I feel like this was supposed to be a funny prompt but I got sad so this has some feels. Hope you still enjoy it!
Anon: oh my gosh, your writing is just so adorable!! i especially love your TUA stuff, and i had a prompt if you're up for it (no pressure if you're not!! 😊): Five has gone so long without physical contact, and he's technically an old man, he assumes he's not ticklish anymore. One day, when he's being his usual snarky self, one of his siblings (maybe Klaus?) playfully threatens him with tickles and he points out he's, you know, a grown man, but sibling still wrecks him. only if you want to!!
Coping with the Apocalypse had changed a lot about Five, and not just his appearance. He found himself avoiding mirrors most days. Something prickled within him every time he caught his reflection. He no longer saw the boy with too much pride—he saw the man who’d found his siblings beneath the rubble of their home. He hated the man he’d become.
It took a while to start seeing his return to the present day as a blessing, rather than a curse, but living with his siblings again definitely helped. No matter how much they annoyed him, he needed them. They reminded him of his humanity. When the nights grew long and Five couldn’t stop seeing blood on his palms, they were there with drinks, shitty romcoms, and hugs.
The physical affection was one of many things he’d yet to adjust to.
He’d thrown out most of their old rituals during his return, considering his previous younger self to be too far gone to indulge. He avoided Klaus and Allison when they painted each others nails, he teleported away whenever Luther tried to hug him, and he threatened bloody murder when Diego put him in a (playful) chokehold. Even Vanya—sweet, shy Vanya who had always been his favorite, though he’d never say it aloud—couldn’t pat his head without a slight flinch first.
Most of his siblings accepted his new ‘eccentricities’ without question, though he got a few snickers when he started wearing reading glasses. Some things just felt right, and he wasn’t about to explain it to them.
“Nice specs, Scrooge. You look like the ghost of Christmas grump.” Klaus plopped down next to Five, tucking his legs beneath him. He balanced a shaker, mugs, and a pack of paper umbrellas in his arms. Five’s eye twitched and he scooted away from the mess waiting to happen.
“What do you want?”
“Just your loving company.” Klaus poured two margaritas into coffee mugs with salted rims. Five wanted to ask why he didn’t just use a margarita glass, since he had time to salt the mugs, but something told him it wasn’t worth the headache.
Sometimes, despite his infuriating blasé attitude, Klaus understood what Five needed better than anyone else.
“What’re you reading?” Klaus played with the little umbrella in his mug, swirling it around like a straw.
“The Modern Prometheus, though you’ve probably never heard of it—”
“Nice choice! Mary always got me in a way other people didn’t. I love her style.” Klaus beamed. Five tried to neutralize his shock before it hit his face, but it was impossible to overcome. The thought that Klaus of all people had not only recognized such a classic by name, but was familiar with it, was so absurd that Five had to close the book entirely. He had prepared himself for an entire lecture on why Frankenstein’s monster had never truly been done justice outside of the source material, expecting Klaus to only know the bumbling green oaf that was so popular in Western media.
“What?” Klaus furrowed his brow at Five.
“I didn’t know you could read,” Five muttered, pushing his glasses further up his nose. He set his drink down. It deserved to be savored.
“Rude,” Klaus scoffed, poking Five in the side. He squeaked and tossed the book onto the coffee table as a reflex.
“There’s a sound I haven’t heard in a while.” Klaus simply grinned at Five, making no move to attack.
Strangely enough, Five was a bit disappointed. He hadn’t felt that familiar lingering buzz of a well-placed poke in years. Still, he forced calm over his features. He wouldn’t let Klaus best him.
“I think you deserve a reintroduction to fun.”
“I will remove your limbs if you touch me.” Five said, though his voice cracked slightly.
“You aren’t as threatening as you think you are.” Klaus managed to poke Five’s nose while avoiding that slap that followed.
“Fuck off, Klaus.”
“It’s okay to take things slow, just don’t shut down to the things you used to love. Indulge your inner child, as they say. For you, that shouldn’t be that difficult.” Klaus drained nearly half of his margarita in one go. It took him a few seconds to recover as the liquor properly hit him and nearly went down the wrong pipe.
“I don’t have time for children’s hobbies.” Five scoffed, sinking into the cushions.
“Being happy is not just for children. I know better that shit is crazy difficult, but you’re allowed to smile and laugh. You’re allowed to find things funny and be silly for no reason. What you’ve been through doesn’t have to define you.” Klaus wiped his watering eyes and cleared his throat.
“That is...surprisingly insightful.”
“Yeah well, something good came of Dad locking me in the mausoleum after all.” Klaus shrugged, finishing the rest of his drink as if the first half hadn’t nearly killed him.
Five frowned. It was solid advice, but he had no way of acting on it. The Hargreeves children hadn’t had much of a childhood, being forced into the public eye so early. All of his siblings had found something to hold on to while their father forced them to grow up.
The vague memories of joy were gone before he could grasp onto them. He sighed.
Would it have been this way if he’d stayed? If he’d listened to Reginald after their breakfast argument, all those years ago? If he’d taken things slow, jumping seconds instead of decades, would the apocalypse never have been a threat? Everyone thought Vanya was the key, the bomb that would wipe out all of humanity, but what if she was the effect that Five caused?
He could still taste the ash on his tongue. He could still see his family, entombed in their home, dying as they should’ve lived—together. The end of all days was ingrained in his bones.
“You’re doing it again.” Klaus shook his shoulder gently.
“Being 58 in this tricycle of a body often has that effect.” Five flashed him a bitter smile. Klaus made a noise of disappointment and wrapped his hands around Five’s waist, drumming his polished fingers against his sides.
“There’s something you might’ve missed when you were away in Apocalypse town. Lego has this neat thing they put on all of the boxes. It’s really cute actually, and not many people notice it.”
“W-what is your pohoint, Klaus?” Five was trying very hard to stay in the room. Weird methods aside, Klaus usually had nuggets of truth hidden within his ramblings.
“The boxes—and I mean the boxes of just pieces that you can build anything out of, not the actual instructional sets—they say ages 4-99+ on them. I think it’s wonderful that they don’t limit creativity or the fun you can have with something so simple.” Klaus started massaging his fingers into his brother’s sides, slow and painfully gentle, giving Five plenty of leeway to disappear if he wanted to.
He didn’t.
“That extends to us now. All I’m doing is tickling you. It won’t get rid of the darkness forever, but it helps bring in some light when you need it. Especially when you forget how to be a person. It’s a nice distraction, no?” Klaus punctuated his sentence by poking at Five’s stomach, ramping up his speed a little bit.
“I guehess!” Five latched onto Klaus’s wrists, small chuckles bubbling out from his lips.
“Let loose, Five. You owe that to yourself.” Klaus dug into his ribs and he finally, finally broke down into bright, tumbling giggles. He toppled over on the couch—partly to get away from Klaus’s fingers, but mostly because he just couldn’t stay upright anymore.
“There it is,” Klaus grinned, working his fingers into every inch of Five’s ribcage. He adored Five’s laughter so much—especially now, when it was rarely heard.
Klaus wormed his hands underneath Five’s arms and they were immediately pinned by two bony elbows. Five squirmed violently without really going anywhere, though he nearly managed to kick Klaus a few times.
This was familiar, the laughter and the teasing, though there was a certain gentleness this time around that made it easier. Less foreign.
“N-Nohoho!”
“I can’t go anywhere if you don’t let my hands go.” Klaus was trying to keep things bearable but the teasing was instinctual.
“Anywhere else!” Five shoved at Klaus’s face with one hand and tried to catch the tickling hands with the other. He was laughing far too hard for any semblance of accuracy.
“Any requests?”
“Fuck! Klahahaus!”
“Stomach it is!”
He whined—fucking whined, back arching, as he tried to dodge Klaus without running away entirely. His reading glasses fell off of his face and into the void of the living room floor.
“I honestly thought you wouldn’t be ticklish anymore. I don’t know why, though.”
“I’m nohohot!” Five scrunched his neck and his nose, nearly rolling off of the couch when Klaus remembered that squeezing above his collarbone would get him to snort.
“You’re literally giggling right now. You’re an actual giggle machine. I don’t think there’s a part of you that isn’t ticklish,” Klaus said, and just to prove his point, fluttered his fingers over Five’s earlobes.
“Yohou suck!”
“I love you too. This is adorable, by the way.” Klaus latched onto Five’s knees and it was over. Five’s laughter raised to a more desperate pitch as he flailed wildly.
“Still my favorite reaction, after all this time,” Klaus sighed, likely more to himself, but Five’s face still turned bright red. He wanted to hide so badly but his hands were completely out of his control.
Klaus ramped down far earlier than he normally would, but he didn’t want Five to get overwhelmed. He handed Five his glasses.
“Is that why you like it?” Five wiped the lenses on his shirt, the smile still lingering on his face. Klaus turned a bit pink at the question.
“Partly, yes. Would you like me to stay?”
“Sure.”
Klaus couldn’t help it when he scratched a finger over Five’s palm and his brother vanished in a flash of blue and a flurry of giggles. What mattered though, more than the very unfair attack in retaliation, was that Five came back.

I'm not sure how much of the tua fandom uses Ao3 and how much posts fics here but should I post my solitary TUA S3 spec fic here as well? It's already on Ao3 but if it's more accessible to the fandom here then I can post it here as well.

Happy Twenty-Third
Happy Twenty-Third by schmelia (can be found on tumblr here: Seven-Valid-Libras)
Rating: T
Complete
Word Count: 13k+
Summary:
It's been years since the Hargreeves siblings have spoken to one another, but on their twenty-third birthday they manage to cross paths with each other a whole lot anyway. A canon-compliant prequel fic in the form of a flashback episode.
(Otherwise known as, an assistant who worked on The Umbrella Academy S1 had so many feelings that she took her unused pitches, wrote a spec script, and uploaded it to AO3 after the show was finally released.)
So, here’s the lovely thing about this fic is that it’s not *actually* a fic in the traditional sense, but (as the tin says) a spec script written by an assistant who worked on TUA Season 1!
This script is amazing. Like the show, it equally focuses on each sibling, so you feel like you learn a little bit more about everyone. As the title alludes to, it takes place on the siblings’ 23rd birthday and follows their day.
My absolute favorite highlights:
Five’s scene in Istanbul (a nice head nod to the song during his fight scene in episode 1)
Klaus’ time in prison fleshed out
Sneak peek of another character, but telling would be a spoiler!
Vanya having a girlfriend (!!!)
Allison meeting Patrick
Ben being introduced
A nice set up of Luther before the mission that changed his whole life
Diego’s time in the police academy
I dearly wish that this spec script had been picked up because it hits a lot of my personal headcanons about the characters and their lives pre-TUA show.
I IMPLORE you to read this script. I absolutely adored it and any fan of the show, I think, would equally enjoy it.

Summary:
On October 1st, 1989, 43 children were born to women who weren't pregnant at the start of the day. Six of those children, who in another timeline were adopted by the billionaire Sir Reginald Hargreeves, were left with their own mothers in this new timeline. Their faces, however, are still familiar, to those who know about a strange little footnote of American history. For the six individuals who've never been to Dallas, Texas in the 1960s, the photos come as a shock.

Klaus had to run after Luther in 3x10 bc he hung out with Ben for 16 years, hung around Diego in the U!Timeline, hung out with Viktor and Allison in the 60s, and then had a road trip with Five in the S!Timeline. Bout time Luther and Klaus bro’d it out.
