Summary
Aria Roberts was the last one: the last host for marigold in her dimension. Recruited by Interpol’s Super Defense Unit, Aria is still reeling from her partner’s death and narrowly escaping the Apocalypse. Enter Five—or Max—Hargreeves: her personal pain in the ass and new partner on the scene. While neither one is particularly pleased about the arrangement, they quickly find themselves swept up in plots of interdimensional family drama, trying to stop another Apocalypse from taking place, and fighting the impulse to kill (or kiss) one another.

When Klaus Hargreeves is caught stealing drugs from the medicine cabinet, Reginald decides solitary confinement is the only solution to his weakness. What neither of them knows, however, is that Diego was listening in. And he, battling demons of his own, will do anything to protect his family.
Takes place when Grace has just been introduced to the family, and they are all around 5 years old. The Marigold sped up their mental aging, but other than learning things faster and being smarter, they are still kids, so their logic might be weird.

----

Summary
Five just wanted to stop the apocalypse, travel back in time and fix his sister before she could become the destroyer of worlds. He didn't stop and consider the idea that they could end up in a different dimension. And he especially didn't think the people he would be stuck with would be his junkie of a brother and his dead brother's ghost. But here they were.
Might as well save this dimension as well, since they have the time.
In which Five is addicted to the apocalypse, Klaus is not having a good time, Ben is tired of their shit, and Tony Stark is really fucking confused.

Summary
“The Horror sat low at his gut.
It stirred when Ben smelt blood. It lashed out to taste it. It retreated when it was satisfied.
Ben could feel its hunger seeping deep into his bones, threatening to swallow him whole.”
Ben has been losing control of his powers since he turned sixteen. When it happens during one of the Umbrella Academy’s missions, Klaus is the only one left to help.

Summary
He was always cold with Viktor, ignoring his calls and letters when he was in prison. Before he was arrested, he ignored Viktor’s invites to his bar with the others (save for Allison and Klaus). Any attempts to get closer to Ben were met with cold, almost harsh responses. But Viktor still came after everything. Maybe Viktor and only Viktor would be his family because the rest of the Umbrellas didn’t bother to show. He’s standing alone, no weapons and seemingly no plan of action other than talking.
~~~
In Viktor's attempt to save Ben and Jennifer's lives, his powers have a surprising side effect and soon enough, Ben is overwhelmed with memories that aren't his from a timeline far from his own. -

Summary
“I heard a rumor… that you stopped dying.”

It works. Kind of.

Summary
The apocalypse has been stopped and the world is safe. The Umbrella Academy is once again renowned as heroes of the world, unmatchable and formidable. The world thanks them for their sacrifices. Now that the Umbrellas have regained their title of heroes, they were now also free from their cruel father. Slowly, the siblings have stepped back into their old home, righting wrongs and healing old wounds.
In the midst of it all, someone was still missing and his absence still causes a giant hole within the Academy. They have already gotten one brother back, why can't they get the other one too?
With Five's help, they try to devise a plan that will bring Ben back home with them. However, an incident in the middle of New York has redirected their attention. Blood and gore had suddenly rained upon the busy roads, tentacles and limbs and unbeknownst scattered about. In the middle of it all, a man screams.
They got their brother back, but like Five, he isn't the person they know anymore.

Summary
Umbrella Ben was always happy, always laughing and giggling, always playing jokes, always flashing his pearly whites.
And the worst part of it all: Sparrow Ben wanted nothing more than to kiss that stupid smile off of his dumb fucking face.
________________________The Umbrellas save the world and bring back the Sparrows. Sparrow Ben is unhappy about sharing a house with some goody-two-shoes version of himself that he's constantly being compared to. But, when he gets past his hatred and jealousy, he can understand why everyone loves Six, and he starts to love Six, and he absolutely hates himself for it.

Summary
The Horror might've been called the horror for a reason, but they were friends. Sometimes (or lately, most of the time), friendship was hard.
NOTE: This work is incomplete. I'm currently not planning to complete it, either. I am leaving it up for those who want to read it, and I'm not orphaning it in case I ever change my mind, but know that it has been discontinued.

Summary
"Yeah, well, you're one to talk about shitty powers." Ben's face contorts with offense, but Five continues before he can respond.
"My brother Ben–our Ben, the one I grew up with–his powers got him killed."
Ok. What.
Ben stares at him with some muted shock. The alcohol in him is uncomfortably warm.
"I mean, I wasn't even there when it happened but, according to my siblings, it was pretty bad." Five smiles ruefully. "The tentacles just …ripped him right apart." He takes another sip of his drink.
Or,
Five and Sparrow Ben have a conversation before the end of the world.

Summary
As a ghost, snow was just a reminder of sadness, of freezing nights on the streets as he watched Klaus shiver, and of bittersweet memories with the family he thought he'd never get to talk to again. Being dead made the world around also look just as lifeless. Snow was just grey sludge that collected onto roads and made the world look more lifeless than it already was.
But now, Ben understood Klaus’ infatuation with the snow. It was white and powdery and the way the rising sunlight caught on the flakes made them glitter. Ben doesn’t think he’s seen anything this beautiful in years.
_________Diego wakes Ben up at the crack of dawn so he can experience snow for the first time in 17 years.
(And Klaus and Allison join eventually) -

Ben travels back into his younger self, but instead of wanting to live and change his future for the better, Ben allows the events unfold as they should. Was it even worth it going up against the commission?

Unintentionally, Ben screws up the timeline and he makes some interesting choices. -

But he's starting to think that's just what he is.
