Dead Sexy 💀😵🪦❤️

An Umbrella Academy AU feat. Pathologist!Dave + MorgueRegular!Klaus

A/N: This was supposed to be a one-shot but it already appears to be growing arms and legs so… here you go. Subscribe for more. More is coming.

CW: Repeated, temporary character death. Like, this fucker just won’t stay dead. Also, morgue stuff. Probably not for the faint of heart or delicate of stomach.

Inspired by @kawaiic0mmunism, to whom this is dedicated - for giving me brain rot. Thanks as always to @allisoooon for tolerating me.

Summary: Dave is a pathologist working at the city morgue. And Klaus… well, Klaus just keeps turning up.

Snippet:

“Mnnnnrgh!” the man groans, rolling onto his side. “Five more minutes. I was having the most amazing sex dream.”

“JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!”

Dave leaps away from the rack on which the man’s body is stretched - the man who just a moment ago Dave was quite sure was 100 per cent dead but who apparently is very much alive. He crashes into a nearby filing cabinet, sending a wide arc of coffee all over his white lab coat and sensible shirt while screaming, “WHAT THE FUCK!”

The man blinks his eyes open now. He props himself up onto one elbow and takes a look around, taking in the startled pathologist with his back pressed against the filing cabinet, the splashed coffee on the lino, the fluorescent lights of the basement mortuary, the open cooler next to him containing a body bag, and then finally the identical black bag half-wrapped around his own body.

“Ah, shit. It happened again.”

The guy sighs a weary sigh and sits up to get a better look at his surroundings, rubbing a hand through his curls and smacking his lips together. He seems far too relaxed about waking up in the morgue, which is in direct contrast to Dave, who is still struggling to come to terms with what he’s seeing.

“You-you-you… YOU’RE DEAD!”

The guy gestures at himself, fanning his hands up and down his body. “Well, clearly not.”

“But you-you were! You were dead!”

The guy rolls his eyes and swings his legs over the side of the rack, still encased in the body bag. “Yeah, kind of an occupational hazard.”

another new fic!

summary:

“Oops, sorry, cutie,” Klaus slurred, trying to stumble away from Dave again, except Dave couldn’t stop himself from lightly holding onto Klaus so he couldn’t run off again.

“Klaus?” Dave said, his eyes and mouth smiling widely.

“That’s me. Do we know each other?” Klaus searched his face.

Dave should have expected it, but it still hurt a little to realise Klaus couldn’t recognise Dave because he’d never met him before. This Klaus hadn’t gone to the Vietnam War yet. This Klaus had no memory of all the precious moments they’d shared in secret.

Or:

Dave accidentally uses the briefcase to travel to 2018, where he runs into Klaus, who has never met him before.

do you think dave ever met klaus’ mom on the void?

“Oh, this is a rerun,” Rachel says.

Dave tips his head back far enough to see her. There's an afterimage of that young man in the diner, but mostly he looks like he looked when she saw the most of him. Handsome and a little worn-down. A kind face, in spite of everything. A warm smile.

“He’s not with you, is he?” Dave asks her.

“Not yet,” Rachel says. There’s a spot next to Dave on his log, and she sits down there.

“That’s good.”

They’re quiet together for a while. Klaus and Dave aren’t doing anything exciting, of course - she’ll leave those evenings to the people who lived them, thanks very much. But there were some moments like this that she tuned in for, if she happened to catch them. The two of them sitting side by side in the dark, shoulders pressed together, passing a joint back and forth and making each other laugh. Dave is watching himself like he’s studying for a test.

"You can come back to it," Rachel tells him. "It’s yours. You won't forget."

"Reruns?"

"As many as you want."

Dave swallows. "Where’s the live show up to?"

“He just lost you again, I’m afraid.”

Dave looks down at his feet. “Is he okay?”

“He will be.”

“I’m sorry,” Dave says. “I never wanted him to cry like that because of me.”

“Oh, it was unavoidable,” Rachel says. “You can’t love somebody that much without a couple good cries over it.”

“That doesn’t seem fair.”

“I guess it’s not.”

Whatever Klaus just said makes Dave grin and kiss his hair.

"I wouldn't have - I mean, I remember now," Dave says. "I wouldn't have treated him the way I did."

"I think you treated him as well as anybody could've expected you to."

"I hurt him," Dave says, very softly. "I would never do that."

"You think you're the one that hurt him?"

"Of course I was, you saw it, I-"

Rachel puts a hand on Dave's shoulder, and he breaks off, rests his forehead on his knees. Across from them, he kisses Klaus's forehead, his cheekbone, the bridge of his nose, catches every drop of rain that managed to get through the canopy all the way down to his face.

"I'm sorry," Dave says again.

“If it makes you feel any better,” Rachel says, “I once told him I’d never let anything bad happen to him, and look how that turned out.”

Dave doesn’t lift his head. He laughs out loud a few yards away. “When was that?”

“Day after he was born, day before I sold him.”

That gets Dave to look at her.

“I thought he might have a better life than what I could give him,” she says. “The way people looked at him, the things they were already saying, I thought - I thought it couldn’t get much worse.”

“You couldn’t have known.”

“‘Course I couldn’t have. And I was doing it all in the right order, so if either of us had a running start, it was me.”

“Would you do it differently?” Dave asks her. “If you could do it again?”

“That’s the kicker, huh? Didn’t even get that far, the second time around. I’ll never know.”

“Oh,” Dave says. He opens his mouth again.

“If you say sorry one more time, young man.”

That gets a chuckle out of him. He’s an odd fit for her Klaus, but then, Klaus is an odd shape.

“We do the best we can while we are who we are,” she tells him. “It’s easy to look back once we’re somebody else. He knows that as well as either of us.”

Klaus is kissing Dave under their tree, slow and aimless. Dave has his palm cupped around Klaus’s jaw, gentle enough that he’s barely even touching him. Every time Klaus moves his head, there’s a little pause before Dave’s hand catches up.

“He wanted to save my life,” Dave says. “Even after I - right up until I walked away. He kept trying.”

“Did it work?”

“I died on a different hill. I s’pose that counts for something.”

Rachel still has her hand on Dave’s shoulder, so she gives it a rub. “Maybe we get a round three.”

“Wouldn’t we already know if we did?”

“Honestly,” Rachel says, “I was banking on a lot more mysteries being solved when I got here. Or, like, any.”

Dave snorts. He’s pulling Klaus into his lap at the moment, and-

“Ah.” Rachel gets up, dusts off her skirt. “That’s my cue.”

Dave goes beet red, which is quite a feat, given where they are. “I’ll - it was good to meet you, um. Ma’am?”

“Rachel.”

“Oh, I mean,” Dave says, “it was more - I’m dating your son, I guess, I should-“

“You are very sweet,” Rachel says, “and very southern, and I would love to have this conversation with you another time.”

“I don’t have to stay here, I can-“

“You can go over there and be yourself, you know,” Rachel tells him on her way out. “If you want to. It’s your memory.”

Dave blinks at her.

“What,” she says over her shoulder, “you think you’re the only one who lived a life?”

She puts fresh flowers on the dinner table back home. Pulls the round tin down from the cupboard above the stove and gets to making enough apple pie for two. Maybe three, if they need to stretch it.

Umbrella Academy

Sum TUA fits cuz it’s been DRY lately fr

(warning: I only read Klaus/Dave, and these all have it, sorry TT)

1. La Mesa by Arowen12 - 44,757 words, 10 Chapters / Completed

Klaus doesn't start a cult, he lands in that alleyway alone, he picks himself up and only bemoans his chance in life a little bit. Klaus doesn't travel the world, doesn't quote songs that aren't written yet, he finds a little street and a little restaurant and for once in his life, he stays; some supernatural things also happen too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

2. tell me you love me (come back and haunt me) by Eternal_Peace_is_Overrated - 10,041 words, Oneshot. Sober Klaus

Klaus has learned. He’s grown. He’s evolved. And after Dave? He breaks.

The day after Ben’s funeral, Klaus moved out of the academy, got clean, and started training- learned how to help his powers grow and grow and grow. But the apocalypse is still on, God is a brat, time makes everyone its bitch, and the only thing more dangerous than little Number Seven is heartbroken Number Four, a natural disaster wrapped in flowy skirts and black eyeliner (and they’re all about to learn just how dangerous someone can be when they don’t have anything left to lose). ⭐️⭐️⭐️

3. The Lights Make Bodies Blurry by heyshalina - 26,867 words, Oneshot, immortal Klaus, great family dynamics. TW: canon typical events

“You know, I think the Séance was a bad name for me, in retrospect.” Klaus bends his head to the side, and his neck lets out a loud crack in release. “They should have called me the Cockroach.” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4. Wicked Game by LiviJoyann - 59,497 words, 14/18 chapters / incomplete, ANGST!!! TW: physical and mental torture yikes.

When Klaus runs into Dave in an unexpected way, he is distraught to find that it isn't the reunion he had hoped for. Klaus's resilience and love for Dave is pushed to its limits as he tries to hold onto the hope of getting HIS Dave back.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5. i was lost (until I found me in you) by Eternal_Peace_is_Overrated - 16,350 words, 2 chapters / completed, modern meeting AU

Klaus loves Dave.Dave loves Klaus.Things should be a little bit easier than they are, but then Five returns, long hidden secrets come to light, and things suddenly get a whole lot more complicated.

Dave used to be part of the commission, and conveniently forgot to tell Klaus about it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

(Note: Dave/Klaus is more background for first three, but focused on in the 4th and 5th)

A bend in space-time Season 2 - [Chapter 16: The crossroads of our lives]

[Chapter 16: The crossroads of our lives] Links : AO3 - Wattpad - FFN

(…) David is always speaking to me with complete honesty. About his feelings, about Brian, about his vision of the world. What he admits to himself, anyway. I know he stayed outside precisely to talk to me about this. But this time I'm certainly shaking more than I should.

"It wasn't very smart to take Brian's seat," I whisper almost to myself, and to be honest, David isn't really listening to me. "He told me all sorts of things about the army, about the possibility of me enlisting, about what… might be happening in Southeast Asia in the next few years…"

He stretches out his oversized legs on the sidewalk. "Probably an anti-militarist who preached against the war. The enlistment office is three doors down from Stadler's." My eyes squint a little painfully. "Is that your saying, or is it Brian's?" He holds his breath for a moment, then lets it go. He'ss aware I know him well, by now. "It's Brian's." And before I'm tempted to hold back, I ask him: "And what do ~you~ think?"

As a customer enters the hardware store and Brian's voice of greeting is heard in the background, he looks up at the sky in his turn - for quite a while - but I give him all the time he needs to talk.

"That my enlistment is not a question that can still be doubted". "I was talking about the guy".

At my words, I see David's fingers tighten on the glass of his Coke bottle. He hadn't expected me to ask that, and he flinches in a way that might have made me smile if I hadn't been so sad now. Now that I can distinctly percieve the energy inside people, I can sense clearly the attraction that - he - will choose to ignore. And I clarify right away, to avoid any confusion that would disturb him even more:

"Do you think he was really a peacenik?" "Oh," he sighs with relief. "I don't know about that." Eventually, he brings the straw to his lips and drinks the entire contents in one gulp. "I suppose peaceniks don't say they love you."

(…)

↝↝↝↝ Read 'A bend in space-time' ↜↜↜↜ Full chapter : AO3 - Wattpad - FFN Season 1 complete : AO3 - Wattpad - FFN Season 2 in progress : AO3 - Wattpad - FFN

I chose to insert an OC - Rin - into the plot of The Umbrella Academy, appearing almost only in deleted scenes. This fic is not a self-insert nor a OC-centric fic : Rin exists to flesh out the canon characters, and the fic is mostly focusing on Klaus. Please read the introduction for more details ♡

Any comment will make my day! ♡

Some TUA Fic Recs!

These are some of my absolute favourite “Umbrella Academy” fanfics! All of these fics are finished, except for one. Please note that most of the tags I am including are not all of the tags on the fic, they are mostly the general ones and warning ones. Also, all of the word counts have been rounded. (all fics are on ao3)

“Charming. Isn’t my company entertaining enough for you?” Dramatically, Klaus threw up a hand against his forehead and collapsed onto his bed as if he were wounded.

“Don’t be an ass,” His brother rolled his eyes but there was a fond expression on his face, “You know that some of us aren’t actually nocturnal?”

Klaus stuck his tongue out, “What are you doing up then?”

Instantly, his brother’s defences snapped back up and he scowled, “I t-t-t-tol-tol-told y-y-you th-“

Whatever his excuses were, Klaus couldn’t be bothered to hear them. As lowly as the others thought of him, he was actually pretty intuitive and it was obvious the real reason Diego was out of bed was because something was bothering him. He wasn’t one to just wander around after hours for no reason- that was more Klaus’s gig. Whatever it was had really gotten under his skin. Unfortunately, his brother was too emotionally constipated to say what was on his mind.

| Comments: Very sweet. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/26519572

“Terminate David and Klaus Katz.”

Five ignored the pang of guilt that accompanied the name, because it was only a stranger with his brother’s name. He ignored the ugly feeling in his chest when he saw his mark, and he looked so much like the man he left to rot in the apocalypse.

But he can’t ignore the pain in his brother’s eyes when he talks about a love lost, and a life in another time.

| Comments: Pain. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/40455777

"It's funny," Klaus said. "You start out with something so great. And you think it'll stay great forever, so you'll do anything to hang onto it, you know? But then one day you realize it's turned into something else when you weren't looking. And you don't know whose fault it is, or how to make it right again. All you know is that you're holding the same pieces, but suddenly they don't fit together anymore."

Ben said nothing.

"What happened to us, Ben?"

~~~

Ben, Klaus, and two very different Halloweens eight years apart.

| Comments: Heartbreaking, but good. A character study of Klaus and Ben's relationship. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/34527199

Klaus breathed quickly through his nose, panting and panicking. At his side, Ben was muttering assurances of comfort, telling him to calm down. But Klaus couldn't calm down, because the closet was too small and dark and reminded him of the mausoleum and he would be locked in there, alone with ghosts and...

Klaus writhed violently, shouting as loud as he could with the tape in his mouth, looking at Blue and Pink in panic and fear. [...] Klaus shouted once again, choking on his breath and the tears that threatened to suffocate him, a chorus of no, no, no, no in his mind.

In the show, after Klaus reveals the little information he knew to Hazel and Cha-Cha, we have a time jump and in the next scene, he's locked in a small closet in the motel room.

But what happened after he revealed the information? How did he end up in the closet? How did he handle the long hours locked up until Hazel and Cha-Cha came back late at night? How did he handle the guilt of telling about Five? How did he handle flashbacks and panic attacks?

| Comments: More pain. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32148223

“Relics in Amber'' by bacondoughnut | Rated T | 8,400 Words | Main Relationship: Dave Katz/Klaus Hargreeves | Important Tags: Implied/Referenced Rape/Non-Con, Past Rape/Non-Con, Hurt/Comfort, Klaus and Dave in Vietnam, Drug Use, Alcoholism, Angst, Fluff, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse | Synopsis:

"Klaus," Dave tries tentatively.

He almost asks if Klaus is okay, but the answer's already clear enough, and that question dies on his tongue. He can't immediately think of anything else to say though, and the silence makes Klaus's quiet whimpering all but deafening.

And Dave doesn't know how to handle this.

Or; the one where Klaus has a very bad night, and Dave is there to help.

| Comments: One of the first Klaus/Dave fics I read. Quite sad, but very soft. I’ve read this fic multiple times, it just hits all the spots. (this fic is locked, so you can only read it if you’re logged in)|

https://archiveofourown.org/works/40237791

“Single Red Thread” by riverwrenwrites | Rated T | 38,000 Words | Main Relationship: Dave Katz/Klaus Hargreeves | Important Tags: Vampire AU, Soulmates, Reincarnation, Canon-Typical Violence, Mild Gore, Implied/Referenced Abuse, Implied/Referenced Drug Use, Hurt/Comfort | Synopsis:

In 1716, Klaus has lost the love of his life in a horrible tragedy and found himself cursed with immortality.

In 2019, Dave and his hunting partner Elliot are investigating a number of disappearances, and when they find themselves face to face with the vampire they think is behind it, Dave can't shake the feeling that he's met this man before...

| Comments: I don’t usually read AUs, and especially not AUs like this, but I like this writer and I was going through all of their TUA stuff. Very cute. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28650759

"We should build a snowman." Diego said, excitedly clapping his cold hands together.

Nothing but fluff ensues when Diego, Klaus, and Ben sneak out to build a snowman.

| Comments: Cute. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/28308621

“Because I don’t go memorizing locations of old board games, especially when they’re in a dumpster,” Ben says, and Klaus doesn’t deign that with a response, instead climbing the precariously balanced trash bag pile, one hand reaching for the top edge of the dumpster while the other clutches the thin cardboard box to his chest. He drops himself over the edge, and lets himself fall on his ass onto the cement, hoping there isn’t something he wouldn’t voluntarily sit in waiting for him. There isn’t, he finds, and he climbs to his feet as Ben appears next to him, all collected and unbothered and otherwise immaculate.

“Come come!” Klaus tells him, and starts down the alley, away from the dumpster, staggering a few steps until he regains his footing. “Diego will love this, we’ll have a bunch of fun, and he’ll thank me for the relaxing break from work.”

“He isn’t— he won’t,” Ben calls after him, but Klaus feels him follow him out of the alley and back to the McDonald’s anyways.

Or: 21 year old Klaus and Diego (and Ben) chilling in a car, and then a McDonald's.

| Comments: Also cute. I’m a sucker for these three. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32896588

Diego angsts his way through Allison's wedding to Patrick, unable to curb his growing disconnection from Klaus. (Takes place pre-season 1, 2013-ish.)

| Comments: Sad. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/41289621

“Ten Months” by Majure | Rated M | 150,000 Words | Main Relationship: Dave Katz/Klaus Hargreeves | Important Tags: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Minor Character Death, Klaus and Dave during Vietnam, Period-Typical Homophobia, Drug Use, Alcoholism, Mutual Pining, Bed Sharing, Hurt/Comfort, Non-Explicit Sex, Ghosts | Synopsis:

It makes him sad, sometimes, that in order to find acceptance, Klaus has to travel back fifty years into one of the bloodiest wars of American history. Most of the time, he doesn't care. His family probably doesn't even notice he's missing anyway.

---

Dave is looking at him, eyes soft and heavy lidded. “What did you say to that guy?” he asks, head resting on the wall, body turned towards Klaus.

“Ah,” Klaus laughs, dropping his hand to take a drink. “Just mouthed off. You know how I am.”

“That mouth will get you in trouble some day,” Dave says softly.

Klaus looks up, swallowing. “Some people like my mouth,” he says.

“I do.”

| Comments: This fic is not finished, and has not been updated in 2 years, but it is well worth it, I promise! I read it twice in two months, and it gave me all the emotions. I had to stop at one point because I started crying (I don’t cry while reading fics very often). Very good fic. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/18214736

Allison leaves the wedding after her argument with Viktor with a plan: take a bottle of booze and lock herself in her room where no one can bother her. This plan takes an unexpected turn when she finds Klaus half conscious in the upstairs hallway.

| Comments: A little cathartic to be honest. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/40268313

Klaus needs a distraction from missing Ben. Five needs a distraction from... well, everything. Somehow, that means a day at the zoo.

| Comments: Actually acknowledges Five’s trauma, wow, a miracle. Very sweet, though a little disturbing at points. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/32488858

“Things That We Got Wrong” by evesbeve | Rated T | 22,000 Words | Main Relationship: Ben Hargreeves & Klaus Hargreeves | Important Tags: Major Character Death, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Pre-Canon, Drug Use, Overdose, No Incest, Hurt/Comfort, Angst | Synopsis:

Ben suposes death isn't the weirdest thing that has happened to him. Becoming best friends with Klaus though? That he never would have guessed.

| Comments: *cries* I love them, your honour! |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/19794943

The tentative peace between the Hargreeves siblings and their father is disrupted when Klaus returns from an unexpected trip to the afterlife with his powers restored. In the ensuing struggle, Klaus could be Five's greatest advantage, which turns him into Reginald's number one target. Hargreeves now remembers both his timelines, after all, and he is keenly aware that the most overlooked aspect of Klaus' abilities could lead to his downfall.

| Comments: Very good. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/41254302

“Who You Gonna Call..?” by riverwrenwrites | Rated T | 130,000 Words | Main Relationship: Diego Hargreeves & Klaus Hargreeves | Important Tags: Buddy Cop AU, Murder Mystery, Fluff, Angst, Drug Use, Past Child Abuse, Implied/Referenced Suicide, Implied/Referenced Self-Harm, Sibling Bonding, No Incest, Mild Gore | Synopsis:

At the ripe old age of 25, Diego is still struggling with that age-old problem of balancing work and pleasure. Especially when, for him, work is being a desk-bound police detective, and pleasure is running around back alleys as a masked vigilante. Lucky for him, he may have just stumbled on the perfect unsolvable case that will finally have him taking his career seriously. Unlucky for him, the only hope he has of cracking said unsolvable case lies with his drug riddled, party going, fashion innovator of a brother.

| Comments: First long fic I read! Very good, have read multiple times. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/18371999

Honourable Mentions: These are some of the WIPs I’m reading.

“Hey, er…” He’s forgotten the boy’s name. Something with a G. Was it Gavin? Or Garth? “Hey, buddy. I got somewhere to be, but if you wake up now we can go for round two before I have to leave.”

Twenty-two-year-old Klaus Hargreeves awakes following a one-night stand with an enigmatic young artist.

Apart from a stinking hangover, he now has two problems: he possesses almost no memory of the night before and there’s a gruesome surprise in the bed.

Accused of a horrific crime, and with the police watching his every move, he faces a race against time to clear his name.

If he can only stay sober long enough to patch together the memories of that night, he might just stand a chance.

| Comments: Hasn’t updated in a few months, but I have hope. Has you on the edge of your seat and suspicious of everyone. |

https://archiveofourown.org/works/34364929

“Where You Gonna Run To?” by ToriAnne | Rated T | Currently 43,000 Words | Main Relationship: Just the Brellies with each other | Important Tags: No Paradox AU, Angst, Implied/Referenced Child Abuse, Recreational Drug Use, Non-Linear Narrative, Domestic Violence, Past Child Abuse, Religious Abuse | Synopsis:

Sparrow AU with no paradox. Ben uncovers a mystery in his father's office and won't rest until he has answers.

This is how the Umbrellas changed and remained the same as they lived separate lives, how they found each other even so, and what happened when they did.

| Comment: Updates every Wednesday. Excited to see where this fic goes. |

I had a dream that Dave somehow survived, and someone, like the Commission, got to him and convinced him that Klaus abandoned him and that the Umbrella Academy were actually the bad guys. Except they hadn’t actually convinced him. He just played along until the last moment when he could betray the Commission to help Klaus and co. because even if they were right, even if Klaus had abandoned him, he’d still given him so much. Their time together was the happiest he’d ever been. He has loved and felt loved and, for the first time in his life, he’d felt like he was truly living, not just existing. And even if that was over, he still loved him and was grateful for what they had. He could never betray him because he would always love him.

So, then there’s Klaus who is being told all of this by the love of his life who he thought he’d lost for good, right after he’d saved him and his family. He’s just like, oh my god please shut up I need to kiss you right now I thought you were dead!

#the umbrella academy #dave katz #klave #klaus hargreeves #i have a fic kinda along these lines #Except they were just holding Dave hostage after they saved him #Is this my subconscious telling me I should change things lol

coming home to you (with my own blood in my mouth)

here is my extremely indulgent klaus x dave season 3 fix it fic featuring gratuitous teasing of dune, making out, public displays of affection, and the hargreeves kids being happy

completed, 3/3 chapters

includes canon-typical violence

read it on ao3 here

Dave and Klaus tried to stick together in combat- it was one thing less to worry about, when they could see each other. But when Dave dared a glance to his left, he was alone.

Klaus was there until he wasn’t. War wasn’t the place to stand up and look for one’s lover though. Dave had to trust Klaus, trust the man’s uncanny ability to get himself in and out of trouble, just as much as Dave trusted Klaus to watch his back.

But at this moment, it was taking everything in Dave to not push himself up, and look for Klaus. Every day in this hell descended deeper into the darkness and depravity of man, but there was something in the air about today, something especially dangerous. It made the hairs on the back of Dave’s neck stand up, but it wasn’t like he could call off Viet Cong for the day, make the suits back at home let everyone walk away.

Dave shuddered, and pressed his chest lower to the ground. The gun pressed to his cheek wasn’t aimed at anyone, not that he could tell, but at this point, what was the difference between him shooting an old man to a young child? The result would be the same, and Dave feared that he would have to carry that forever.

Squint his eyes, clutch the gun tighter to him, and squeeze the trigger. Repeat. The screams around him were fading into a deafening roar, and throughout it all, Dave kept thinking- where was Klaus? He had been right next to him, but now that was just empty dirt, and-

Someone shoved Dave to the side roughly. Dave immediately dropped the gun and went for the knife he had in his pack, about to slash when he rolled and saw Klaus.

Except- this wasn’t the Klaus that Dave knew. Nor was it the Klaus from a faded memory of a diner and a punch, a cult and a plea. His hair went down to his shoulders and was frizzy, his fatigues replaced with a shirt full of dizzying colors and patterns.

“Stay down,” Klaus hissed, and Dave, who was now on his back, looked to him, and then to the young boy who was crouched behind him. Why was there a young boy here? He had a stern look on his face, a school-boy uniform, and was steadily staring at Dave.

“Am I dead?” Dave asked Klaus. A strange look went over Klaus’s face, and he shook his head. Hallucination, perhaps.

“Not yet, lover.” Klaus slapped at Dave’s body when Dave tried to roll around again, to grab ahold of his gun, when what sounded like a grenade went off only a few feet away.

Dave gasped, ears ringing as he fumbled for his gun, for Klaus, for the boy, for anything. His hands found something wet, warm and sticky, and it only took one sickening moment for Dave to register it as blood.

He dashed his hands all over his own body but found no gaping wounds. Reaching out for Klaus was something deeper than instinct, and the pained gasp that Klaus let out created an agony in Dave unlike anything he had ever felt before. “No,” Dave gasped, his hands finding and pressing down on the gash in Klaus’s stomach. “No, Klaus,”

“Fall back!” The captain screamed from somewhere behind them. “Troops, fall back!”

“Medic!” Dave screamed in response, causing the boy to jerk into action. Dave flinched as the boy roughly grabbed Dave’s ankle. His hand was cold- no hallucination then.

“No time for that. Grab him,” The boy was much too calm for this situation, how did he even get here, this deep in the fight?

“What?”

Klaus groaned, his blood seeping through Dave’s fingers, making Dave curse and press down harder.

“We’ll get him stitched up in a moment, but hold onto him!” The boy instructed again. The dirt around them was exploding, flying up as the latest wave of bullets landed. Dave slid an arm underneath Klaus’s neck, pressing their foreheads together.

“Hey, Klaus,” Dave whispered. Klaus blinked slowly, but met Dave’s eyes. “Keep those darling eyes open for me, alright?” Klaus’s mouth spread in a smile, before coughing, a dribble of blood running down his chin.

“Saved you,” Klaus slurred. “Did it,”

Dave’s mouth opened to say something, anything, but the boy held Dave’s ankle even tighter, cutting him off. “Holding on? Good. Close your eyes.”

Dead Sexy 💀😵💕 Updated!

An Umbrella Academy AU feat. Pathologist!Dave + MorgueRegular!Klaus

A/N: The brainrot continues. I hope you guys are enjoying reading this as much as I’m enjoying writing it. Don’t be strangers - lemme know your thoughts (and any wish-list items for future chapters).

CW: Nothing much to upset your stomach in this chapter. It’s all flirting and dirty crossword puzzles.

Dedicated to @kawaiic0mmunism (to whom the concept belongs) with thanks to @allisoooon for beta services and encouragement.

Summary: Dave is a pathologist working at the city morgue. And Klaus… well, Klaus just keeps turning up.

Snippet from Chapter 3:

Dave looks over the notes from the night shift and a resigned sigh escapes from his chest.

The familiar scent of weed confirms his suspicions before he even opens the body bag. As he slides the zip down he notes that Klaus is naked, as usual, but this time is covered in neon body paint; splashed and smeared over every limb, pasted in wide swathes over his chest, collecting in the crevices under his arms and between his fingers. An explosion of colour is arranged in a butterfly formation across his face, punctuated with swipes of glitter and stick-on sequins.

Klaus is as peaceful as always, a serene half-smile playing on his lips. And, as always, there isn’t a mark or a scratch on his body.

Dave pokes him, hard, in the chest.

“Ow! Whatchu do that for?” cries Klaus, instantly awake, jolting upright and shielding his ribs from further intrusions.

“Just checking,” says Dave.

Prompt: Klaus finds out that due to his meddling in season 2, Dave never came out and lived a miserable life in a loveless marriage, so Klaus goes back in time to before he was married to seduce Dave out of the closet. Dave tried to resist at first but who is he kidding? He hasn’t been able to get this alluring man out of his head since he first stepped foot in the hardware store.

"All right," Klaus says, "I'll admit it. I fucked up."

"I mean," Dave says, "not really. I'm alive."

"Well yeah," Klaus says, flapping the very idea away with his hands, "but I didn't want you alive, baby, I wanted you living."

He's back at the store, but he's not pretending to buy paint this time. He looks - older, maybe? A little less wispy. Feet more firmly on the ground. Still beautiful, Dave can admit that much to himself.

"I'm living," Dave tells him.

"Mm," Klaus says, "right, okay. What're the plans for this evening, Assistant Manager Katz?"

"I'll probably cook something." Dave glances over at the calendar on the wall. "It's Saturday, right? I'll put Lawrence Welk on."

"Oh, c'mon, that's - fair play, actually, I love Lawrence Welk."

"Alice has her knitting circle this evening, so-"

"Hey," Klaus says, poking one of his long fingers right into Dave's chest, "about that. I know you think you're real clever, finding that nice girl to bunker down with, but David. It's the 70s, this is the fun gay decade."

"Fun for who?"

"You, if you're willing to make some lifestyle changes." Klaus waggles an eyebrow, leans his elbow on the counter next to the register. "I can give you a crash course, if you want."

"I - I'm married."

"What exactly," Klaus says, "do you think Alice and Mabel are getting up to at their twice-weekly two-woman knitting circle?"

Dave sighs, closes the cash drawer he'd been counting. "I know, Klaus. It's - it's different."

"Different how?"

"I'm not-"

"Listen," Klaus says. "I've never had earthshattering homosexual sex with you, personally, in this version of reality. But I had a lot of it with someone you have a lot in common with, and I owe it to him to make sure you're looked after. Okay?"

Dave stares at him for a while. It's - it's honestly amazing that he's as beautiful as Dave remembers him being. He's been going over those three meetings with various tints of rose-colored glasses in the years since they happened, and he thought he'd pushed the Klaus in his mind past the point of believable attractiveness sometime during his first tour of duty. Turns out, he was just accounting for aging. The lovely new fine lines around Klaus's eyes.

"Why now?" Dave asks him.

"Oh, you know, things have been hectic-"

"You're a time traveler, aren't you? You could've stopped my wedding, if you wanted."

Klaus sighs. Leans his hip on the counter. "That job you applied for," he says. "The one at the VA in San Francisco?"

"What about it?"

"You're gonna get it. Don't turn it down."

Dave blinks at him.

"Take Alice," Klaus says. "Shit, take Mabel too. Fuckin - get out of here, baby, all of you. Go live your lives."

"I'm." Dave swallows. "I'm gonna get it?"

"You surely are, sweetheart."

"And I - I turned it down?"

Klaus winks at him. "Not yet."

"Why would I do that?"

"Oh, you know, probably the same reason you're doing everything you're doing to yourself. Whatever that reason is."

Dave glances at the calendar again. The notes from his uncle dotted all over the month like ticks.

"It'll be hard, baby," Klaus says. "It's not all gonna be sunshiney days. But god, it's gonna be worth it. You know?"

"I don't know, actually," Dave says. "But you sound like you do."

"Oh, I know enough," Klaus says with a little shrug. "And most important among the things I know is how to locate a prostate - like, trust me, you are gonna thank me the second you step off that plane-"

"Klaus," Dave cuts him off, but he's laughing, and Klaus laughs back. "Klaus, you're - okay, fine."

"Okay fine?"

"Come over," Dave says. "I'll make you dinner. We can watch Lawrence Welk."

"Oh, is that what the kids call it these days?"

Klaus is still smiling, like he does this all the time. Swoops in and out of people's lives and changes them forever. Maybe he does. Or maybe some other Dave just loved him that well.

"You've gotta stick around and meet Alice," Dave says, pulling his apron off to leave behind the till. "She's not gonna believe I finally had a man over if she doesn't see you herself."

"Dinner and breakfast, then," Klaus says, and when he holds out an arm, Dave loops his through it.
