Summary
Lila hesitates an extra half second in the subway, and things go very differently.
Dave was just trying to pick up dinner ingredients on the way home from work. He had ground hamburger meat, onions and a jar of pickles in his basket and was headed to the bakery section for a bag of buns, when he turned a corner and nearly ran into the second-to-last person in the world that he would ever want to see.
Adrenaline spiking, he stepped smoothly backwards into the previous aisle, set his basket down on the floor, and left the grocery store immediately. He could get take-out tonight.
What the hell was Klaus Hargreeves doing here?!
(Hey everybody! We have an interdimensional subway now! A happy ending for Dave and Klaus is back on the table!)

Summary
In which Klaus wakes up about two minutes after Five walks away from their corpses and finds himself in the apocalypse. And as if that wasn’t lovely on its own, all his dead siblings are there waiting for him.

Summary
March 24th, 2019. After the death of their father, the Hargreeves siblings gather at their old family home for a funeral. When things get off to a rough start with thinly-veiled accusations of patricide and old resentments bubbling up to the surface, the siblings split to different corners of the house to cool off separately. And somehow, in the middle of the impromptu dance party that follows, Klaus and Ben are the only ones to notice their long-lost brother has just appeared outside in the courtyard after a seventeen-year absence.
~~
Canon divergent AU that covers Season 1 on the premise that Five's return does not go as anticipated, and in order to prevent the coming apocalypse he must rely on Ben, who is determined to help even if he is just as helpless as Five, and Klaus, who is somehow less useful even though he can actually interact with the world.

Summary
“It’s your brother Klaus. He’s stable now but they’re saying he overdosed. You were down as his emergency contact?” Allison leant against the wall and dragged her free hand down her face. Part of her that she hated told her that she had an excuse to not fly back, wished that Vanya or Diego could go instead. She focused on the fear that the small window she had to help him would close the second he left that hospital.
~ ~ ~
Klaus had found it hard to stay out of trouble since he was a baby, chaos seemed to follow wherever he went. Allison tries her best to keep him alive in the years before their father's funeral, she's not doing a perfect job at it. -

Summary
“Well, this is unexpected.” Five says, eyes wide.
“I could say the same about you. Long time no see.”
Five scoffs. “You have no idea.” Then his voice softens. “You went missing. They all thought you were dead.”
“Yeah, well, aren’t we a pair?” Klaus answers, rather dumbly.
AKA,
Klaus Hargreeves runs away when he is fifteen, and promptly runs into a woman with short blonde hair, bright red lipstick, and a briefcase in her hand.

Summary
If someone had asked David twenty years ago where he saw himself at thirty, he’d have said in front of a camera, with a microphone in his hand, reporting the important news of the day straight from the source. A correspondent traveling the world, braving the parts others didn’t.
He would have said it quietly, to his G.I. Joe action figures, but he’d have said it.I’m super late but this was written for EnKlave Fest 2023.
Prompt: Klaus the Planchette-Wielding Hitchhiker (and Dave the long-suffering reporter trying to track him down). -

Summary
"Maybe no more dumb shit," Ben says. "No dumb shit from anybody."
"We keep agreeing to that," Five says, "and then, somehow, dumb shit continues to happen."
"That sounds like a you problem."
"It's a we problem now, Benny." Klaus hops up and swans over to Ben's bunk, and Ben scoots away to keep from getting a joint to the diaphragm while Klaus gangles. "Welcome to the dumb shitshow, you're gonna fit right in."

Summary
“You’re going to let me inside, and you’re going to help me,” Klaus says, and Allison tosses her head back and laughs.
“Why?” She sneers, a cold smile fixed on her face, eyes cruel and unafraid. “Why would I ever do that?”
“Because,” Klaus says with a smile. It’s not a very nice smile. He can feel the cool blue of his power light up his eyes, dance across his fingertip, caress his forearms, burn through his veins. He isn’t sure what he looks like right now, but the color drains from Allison’s face and her smile fades into nothingness.
“Because I can take everything you stole for yourself and tear it to pieces.”
Allison’s hands shake when she pushes the door open, and Klaus steps inside.
***
Or, everything is the same except Allison never took their powers, and Klaus is willing to do anything to get his happy ending.

Klaus tears down the hallway, past the bedroom, to the single door at the end and pushes it open slowly, cautiously, squinting past the orange and pink rays spilling through the open window and illuminating the bed in soft golden light until-
There.

Summary
“Is this about Ben?”
Klaus chokes on his next breath, and forces himself to keep breathing steadily through the ache in his chest. “C’mon, babe,” he says, deliberately light. “Thirty years later, I’m finally free of the bastard. Why would you think that?”
“‘He was just that kind of disaster that made him ridiculously easy to love,’” Five quotes, and Klaus silently curses himself.
***
Amidst the chaos of the Hargreeves family wedding, Five and Klaus find a quiet moment to talk
