Summary
Five Hargreeves, born to a normal family in a world where some people have powers, lived with his mom, her second husband, Jeff, and his siblings Diego and Harper. He was fourteen when he got stuck in the apocalypse that wiped out his family for 20 years. The Camera Obscura (Latin for the future) fished him out – but then his body was fourteen again, even though he remained 34 years old. Thirteen years later, they regularly send him into different dimensions to kill people and either provoke or prevent apocalypses. He doesn’t know which or why, and he doesn’t care.
Lila Pitts is the adopted daughter of one of the higher ups at the Camera after her parents are killed during a break-in. Though trained as an Assassin, Lila worked in Infiltration her whole career. She goes largely unnoticed at the Camera. She’s great at pretending to be other people but bad at seeing red flags. When she met Diego, he was nice to her, listened to her. It only took that much to make her fall for him.
Now our assassin Five, a different Five than the one she knows, turns up at her wedding with a bizarre assignment. Five and Lila have to team up to figure out what’s going on.

Summary
"I mean, before Diego I had no intention of settling myself. But love is a crazy thing once you finally meet the one. This is just... sad. You'd think at their age they would have somebody to love and to hold, y'know?"
"No," Five finally ground out, eyes averted so that they didn't catch Lila's confused and frustrated ones. "I don't think I know."
He didn't see in real time as Lila realized the implications of her own words and how her face fell. He did, however, hear her soft and pitying tone as she started, "Wait, Five—"
"I'm going to bathe and catch up on some much needed rest," Five stood up and grabbed ahold of the radio before he sauntered out of the sitting room and beelined for the main bedroom, his sister-in-law's protests falling upon deaf ears.
No matter how hard you try, you'll never be like them.

Summary
Oneshot based on this tumblr post:
*At Diego and Lila’s wedding*
Five, making a speech: We’re gathered here to celebrate my brothers marriage
Five: And I have only one thing left to say to that brother
Five: I implore you to rethink your choice. There’s still time to run. It’s not too late
Diego:
Lila, wiping her eyes: Omg, that was beautiful
[…] He’d drag Lila into a room and Diego can hear him threatening her with unthinkeble violence and laughs, but then Lila comes out and tells him “your turn :)”
In which Five’s love language is threats, as seen by Diego.

Summary
“Thanks, Dad.”
Diego didn’t react, automatically pushing the back of Five’s head in an indication to run along. But when he looked back towards Lila, she was giggling to herself.
“What?”
“Did … Five just call you Dad?”
or; five times five calls/refers to diego as dad, and the one time diego finally acknowledges it.

Summary
Three rules: no private meetings, no romance until the divorce is final, and stay away from the kids. Diego made the terms clear, and Lila and Five are trying to follow them—mostly. After seven years lost in a subway timeline, their connection has deepened, but now, stuck in the aftermath of a funeral and Lila’s messy divorce, they’re forced to keep things public and platonic. As Lila struggles with Diego’s denial, relentless pressure from her parents, and co-parenting questions from her daughter, Five attempts to settle into a quieter life working at a coffee shop. But old feelings and new frustrations make it harder for them to maintain distance, and with every park meeting and shared glance, they inch closer to breaking the rules.

Summary
Told from Five’s perspective, this story begins where everything went wrong: Five and Lila, lost in a mysterious subway system that defies the rules of time and space. Stranded for over six years, their journey becomes more than just survival, it’s about confronting the unspoken tension between them, and uncovering the secrets of the subway.
The narrative delves deeper into the strange mechanics of this underground labyrinth, while familiar relationships and dynamics from the show come back into focus.
With an alternate take on the show’s events and a more thought-provoking ending, 6 Years, 5 Months, and Beyond offers a deeper exploration of complex relationships and a more satisfying conclusion to the story.

i am not afraid (to keep on living) by creativedisaster

Summary
Five has been here before. Except that then, he was thirteen and full of hope and determination. Now he's pushing seventy, with a lifetime of apocalypses and time travel already behind him. He's seen enough and he is so, so tired. His family are better off without him, anyway.
There is one other difference, though. He hasn't accounted for Lila.
_
Steve may not want to give them character development, but I bloody well do. These two are going to face their trauma, bond as siblings-in-law / best friends, and STAY PLATONIC. Five & Lila in the subway rewrite.

Summary
The kiss is clumsy, playground-like in the way it’s awkward in a cute kind of manner, a press of lips that barely move and a play-pretend at the end of the world, surrounded by strawberries, in a sort of dream quality.
And Five whispers, just as soft: “Delores.”
The fucked up illusion shatters in a million of equally fucked up pieces, then.

Summary
It's been almost seven years since Five and Lila have been stuck in the subway. When Lila has a sudden realization of how much time has passed away from her family, she suffers a major breakdown.

Five and Lila will always be the greatest of frenemies and nothing more. You cannot convince me otherwise!

Summary
One day in October, Diego gets a call that he needs to pick up his brother from the station.
He can’t say he’s not smug about it.“Isn’t this a nice change of pace?”
“Fuck off.”
Diego crossed his arms, still grinning smugly.
“You might wanna be a little nicer, bro. You called me, remember?”
Five crossed his arms, looking like a child who’d been punished with a time-out.
“They gave me one phone call.”
“What’d you do, you little psycho?”
Five went back to looking annoyed.
“He’s charged with stealing, fighting, breaking and entering-“
“All allegedly,” interrupted Five, his shark smile in place, “as no one ever saw me commit the supposed crimes.”…
Or, after the hotel oblivion, in the span of 7 months, Five is homeless (again, although this is an upgrade from the apocalypse), gets a dog, learns to accept help from others and becomes an uncle.
He also learns to accept his feelings (sort of, mostly… he’s getting there).
Diego and Lila are just along for the ride. -
