Hi Gabriella! I am mostly new here, but I have read your fics and they really stole my heart ๐. Could I request a ๐ for Klaus Baudelaire with the song Can't help falling in love by Elvis Presley?
Nela ๐
Thank you so much Nela! This means so much to me! ๐ Thank you so much for requesting this and I had fun writing it.
A/N: This is my first Klaus fic, so I hope you like it!
Can't Help Falling in Love | K.B.
Itโs been a while since Klaus has been in the city, considering the fact that he had been staying at an isolated island for the past few years.ย
They had decided to wait until Violet had come of age before returning back to the rest of the world, considering their history would give them a hard time in finding a job and the fact that they had a toddler to sustain.
After a long journey, the four of them finally reached the dock - they had yet to find out what city theyโre in but at least they were on land.ย
Violet picked Beatrice up, not bothering to anchor the boat to the dock as they wonโt be needing it anymore.ย
โI guess we have to stop by the bank first.โ Violet mused.
โYeah,โ Klaus agreed, holding on to Sunnyโs hand, โThen we can try to look for a place to stay.โย
โOr something to eat.โ Sunny added.ย
The Snicket and three Baudelaires waved their way through the traffic, stopping once they had found themselves in front of the building that had the name Sunside Banking glittering under the sunlight.ย
โI guess this is it.โ Violet said, exchanging a look with her brother.ย
Pushing the glass door, they were hit with the cold air coming from the air conditioner. A nice lady immediately assisted them without question.
Maybe things wouldnโt be so bad after all.
โ
The bell gave a small ding as Klaus pushed open the door, he saw an ad saying that the store needed an extra helper so he decided to take a chance.ย
Breathing in the familiar scent of books and looking around at the tall shelves, Klaus felt like it was his lucky day - something he hasnโt felt in a long time.ย
โHow can I help you?โ A voice suddenly said, pulling his attention towards the counter.ย
Now he knew what the poets were talking about: how he would feel that the breath had just been knocked out of his lungs, how everything else would fade away and you were the only one his brain could focus on, how he would feel his heart racing faster than the speed of light.
To put it short, it was wonderful. He never felt this way with Isadora Quagmire, his first love, or with Fiona, his first heartbreak. It was like having a crush but make it ten times better.
โHello?โ Your voice brought him out of his trance. โAre you okay?โ
He chuckled, running a hand through his hair, โYeah, I was actually planning on applying for the job opening?โย
โ
โWhatโs got you smiling like that?โ Violet asked her brother with an amused smile.ย
Klaus shrugged, mind still occupied with the thought of you, โNothing. I already told you - I got the job.โย
Violet nodded, putting a blanket over a napping Beatrice, โYeah, but your smile is telling a different story.โย
โHeโs in love.โ Sunny walks into the room, carrying a tray of freshly baked cookies.
โAha!โ Violet exclaimed as Klaus gave no protest to Sunnyโs claim, โWho is she?โย
Klaus sighed in defeat, taking a cookie from the tray, โHer name is Y/N and she works at the bookstore I just got a job in.โย
โThat is literally your dream meet-cute.โ Violet teased.ย
โYou didnโt ask her out, didnโt you?โ Sunny said.ย
โOf course I didnโt.โ Klaus defended, โI just met her - why would I? She might think that Iโm some sort of creep.
โ
Itโs been three weeks since Klaus had first met you and things have been going smoothly so far.ย
Violet had been egging him to tell you how he feels and he already did his research to try and ease his mind. But itโs like no one can agree on the perfect way to ask a girl out.ย ย
The two of you were busy shelving the new books that had just arrived that morning.ย
Truth be told, he didnโt have a hard time making conversation with you, frankly it was the opposite. He loved talking to you, he loved picking your brain at topics that he couldnโt discuss with Violet or Sunny due to their different interests.ย
โI just thought of a quote.โ Klaus suddenly said out of the blue, picking up another stack of books from the box, โI canโt really remember where I read it but it goes โWise men say only fools rush inโ-โ.
โโBut I canโt help falling in love with you.โ You finished, looking over at him with a smile.
โYeah.โ Klaus cleared his throat, ignoring the heat rising up to his cheeks as he returned to the task at hand.ย
A moment of silence passed between the two of you before you spoke up.
โWas that your way of asking me out?โ
โI-I. It was. Probably?โ Klaus always seemed so composed, this was the first time you saw him trip over his words.ย
โItโs okay if you just want to stay friends, I just really wanted to-โ He was once again interrupted but this time, by your lips on his.ย
โWow.โ Klaus breathed out afterwards, making you giggle, โPlease tell me Iโm not dreaming.โย
โNope. Nope at all.โ You answered, fixing his glasses that had been knocked askew.ย

hello!!! i was wondering if you could maybe write some head canons on what it would be like dating klaus baudelaire? preferably with a female reader but honestly anything works!! ^_^
n/a ; i really forgot how much i loved asoue ๐ญ๐ญ
ย ย ย ย ย โฆย ย ย ใย ย ย โฟธย ย ย ใย ย ย ๐งย ย ย ใย ย ย .ย ย ย ใย ย ย ๐ย ย ย ใย ย ย ย . ย ย ใย ย ย ๐
okay so i feel like at first when u guys first start dating he wouldnโt be like super affectionate but itโd grow on him
like as time progresses handholding and cuddling nd stuff would be more common
klaus baudelaire would 100% read to you
during a lazy day, at night if you canโt sleep, or even when you donโt want him too
he wants to share all the knowledge he knows and all the things he wants to learn w you
its a must that you and his sisters get along
which you are already friends w violet so ๐ผ
at first violet was sort of skeptical about the relationship between u guys because so many ppl have left or died and what not
but then she realizes how much happier klaus is and like all is forgotten
sunny would want to cook w you tbh
it rlly make klaus happy seeing his fav ppl get along :DD
klaus would be so interested in all the things u like
i can see him reading all your favorite books or biographies on your favorite authors
researching your favorite songs and meanings behind it all just so he understands when you ramble on about it
i feel like heโd want to spend all his days w you
so basically heโs just like awesome ๐ป๐ป

A quick Klaus Baudelaire sketch, heavily inspired by โThis Bird Has Flownโ by @cygninae
(By โheavily inspiredโ I mean it was supposed to be fanart then I realised โoh shit does this even count if itโs based off the ficโs vibe instead of an actual scene?? Anyway, I recommend reading it if anyone seeing this hasnโt already! Itโs on Ao3!)

thunderstorms and books
Pairing: Klaus Baudelaire x reader
summary: you're scared of thunderstorms so Klaus reads to you
warnings: none pure fluff and very very short story
no authors note :)
-
-
a flash of lightning made you squirm a bit closer to your boyfriend. he wrapped a protective arm around you and said
โyou okay?โ you nodded against his shoulders
โyeah im fineโ you say. ever since you were a little one, you have been terrified of thunderstorms. and since you and the Baudelaire's got stuck on this island, you found that fear growing, which caused you to loose sleep.
โare you sure?โ Klaus asked, you nodded again and cuddled into his embrace as you tried to fall asleep. your muscles were tense and your breath was choppy which as you can tell that aint very relaxing.ย
โits the storm isnt it?โ you looked up at your boyfriendโs worried look.
โno..โ another lightning flash made you flinch
โaw, shh its okayโ Klaus cooed as he kissed your head.โim here to protect youโย you nodded against his chest.ย โi promiseโ he tipped your head up gently and gave you a chaste kiss.
โIm sorry, Klaus. you can go to sleep i will be fineโ you say
โdont apologize Y/N, im not going to sleep until you go to sleepโ Klaus says while sitting up from the couch bringing you with him
โwhy dont i read to you?โ he asks
โthat would be lovely, i would like that a lotโ you say as a smile began to grow on your face
Klaus smiled back as he grabbedย โthe incomplete historyโ (in the books the book is called a series of unfortunate events soooo im just referring to it as the incomplete history cause thats what it is in the series-)
he wrapped his arm around you as you snuggled closer into him as he began to read from the beginning
โpage one,โ Klaus began
โwe are embarking on a new voyage, and Bertrand insisted we document it in this book we know no book can contain every story in the world, even if the book is long and the world grows smaller everyday. but perhaps many years from now, another set of voyagers will discover this book, and read about the people who came before them, the stories they left behind and this entire series of unfortunate events.โย
as Klaus read each of the words, i felt my eyelids begin to grow heavier as he brought me closer to him as he read and soon enough i would fall asleep without any worries.
that is until Beatrice woke up.

Thank you to my AO3 readers who have left over 500 hits and 50 kudos on my series TBHF (This Bird Has Flown). It is not abandoned, I'm just low on motivation right now and working hard at university so updates are definitely not as fast as I'd like them to be. Please keep being patient with me! Your support through comments, asks, kudos, subscriptions etc mean so much to me ! I hope you'll stay with me as I (admittedly slowly) get out these chapters.

Hi I wrote a small oneshot with the Quagmire triplets and Baby Bea

View notes
can you make a crossover fic with asoue? like where the baudelaires go to live with mr benedict
also constance and sunny would be besties
Okay-
I don't think I have it in me to write a fill asoue and tmbs crossover, especially cause I know for a fact that a couple of very talented people have already written some truly lovely fics for this exact cocept, but this prompt is definitely making Me Think.
Cause like. You have have this trio of kids. Maybe even six kids, if the triplets are with them, and they are tired. They are traumatised. They have been through one ordeal after another and they are so disillusioned that they're holding onto eachother with nails dug in tight. They're a script that has been written into the marrow of their bones and the Baudelaires have accepted that their lives are tragic ones. No one is gonna be there for them but themselves, their books and their smarts and their teeth.
And then they show up at Mr. Benedict's house.
And the Benedicts are an eclectic and odd bunch. There are so many of them, and between the lot of them its so easy to find people who love books and create machines and make excellent food. I can see Klaus's fingers twitching in anticipation to read a new book as soon as Reynie has finished it, and Violet making little mechanical contraptions for Kate's bucket, and Sunny sitting in the kitchen with Moocho all quite happily.
But that's gonna come later. Cause they're tired, and they're wary. And they've had guardians who were kind and clever and good before. And they died, quite horribly, and it just seems safer to not get too attached.
I think it's going to make a difference, the fact that The Mysterious Benedict Society kids are there and they clearly trust these adults. That, or the Baudelaires (and Quagmires, if they're there too), are gonna watch them with a bit of jealousy and longing fostered into their chests until they eventually realise all that love is waiting for them, too.
(I can see them making a quiet pack among themselves, these unfortunate orphans, to run away before harm befalls these grown ups and ruins the lives of more kids. They wouldn't wish this existence on anyone.)
If I'm honest, though. If I'm really honest. The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of an ASOUE and TMBS crossover is one Number Two.
Number Two, who is peculiar and never sleeps and is incredibly talented and who was never listened to growing up.
Maybe Number Two had her own adventures with VFD. Her own unfortunate childhood where she was thrown into a world of grown ups all trying to get the upper hand, where no one was really good or evil and justice was not wrought. Maybe she dreams of her own snakes, and her own fires, and a bad beginning that steamrolled into a malady of a middle and then an erroneous ending.
Like. I can just see it, in my mind. Number Two's justified rage on their behalf, the way she can look at them as a grown up who made it through a childhood of being ignored, and can empathize. She knows how ugly it can feel, to be that desperate and that clever and that lonesome when all the adults in your life who should have been there to help you just fail you abjectly. The way she would tell them never again and mean it fullheartedly.
(The way she can tell them, hey, you'll get through this, and it won't erase all the hurt and the pain but you'll get to be okay anyway, and mean it.)
It's a family who loves Truth. Who holds it as an ideal close to their chests. I think that these unfortunate orphans could use some of that.
(I want Olaf to go to jail, in this AU. I want him to come to the door cleverly disguised, and I want Number Two to smartly, with no hesitation, punch him in his smug face. I want Milligan to come in with his cuffs and his agent connections, and I want Olaf taken away. I want the Baudelaires to never have to see him again, for him to be a sad pitiful man in a cell who never gets the fame and fortune he so desperately desired to fill up that empty hole in his chest with.)
The Bauldalaires make Pasta Puttanesca, a few months in. Mr. Benedict takes them shopping for ingredients- they take a couple of detours to get books and invention supplies, but that's only to be expected. Rhonda offers some tips and tricks that she's picked up over the years with Violet while carefully chopping the onions, and Sticky excitedly chatters with Klaus about a newly published research paper from one of their favourite authors. Constance and Sunny - who are best friends, and appreciate the other's intelligence- happily discuss favourite foods and peculiarities of being young.
The whole family raves over it, delighting at the handmade pasta and complimenting the sauce. Miss Perumal, Moocho, and the Washingtons take care of the after dinner clean up. The kids are shooed upstairs, laughing and talking over one another and stumbling slightly into eachother's space in the narrow halls. None of them mind, not really.
They have they're whole lives ahead of them, after all. It's going to be okay.

Hii, could i make a request? Theres not enough klaus x reader headcanons out there. Could you make some headcanons where reader is uncle monty's assistant and klaus and her slowly start to fall in love?
srry if this didn't make alot of sense
a/n : SORRY SORRY SPRRY TOTALLY FORGOT THIS EXICTED LOLSIES BUT YAH LOVE IT !!!!!
klaus baudelaire x montyโs assistant ! reader
ย โฆย ย ย ใย ย ย โฟธย ย ย ใย ย ย ๐งย ย ย ใย ย ย .ย ย ย ใย ย ย ๐ย ย ย ใย ย ย ย . ย ย ใย ย ย ๐
okay so firstly when i imagine it, i imagine them a little older when they arrive at montyโs bc he was like 11โฆ
anyways when they first arrive they have their cake nd monty shows them his reptile room thatโs when they first see you
โWhoโs that?โ Violet asks, nodding her head towards you
โOh I almost forgot, that is my assistant, [name]!โ
when klaus looks at you i swear that boy is seeing stars
because not only do you look gorgeous, you also must be super smart to be montyโs assistant at such a young age
โHello! nice to meet you!โ you say smiling at them
klaus rn : ๐ฆ๐ป๐ฎโ๐จ
and thus blossoms a beautiful your friendship w the baudelaires
Violet loves how versatile your knowledge is with reptiles, Klaus is star struck, and Sunny loves watching her brother act like a fool around you
okokok so now letโs get to before you and him get together
klaus LOVES listening to rant about reptiles!!!!!!
He loves hearing you talk about something youโre so passionate about & he loves learning new things
you guys spend hours together reading and talking about anything!!! i swear you could bring up anything and you both would be talking about it for hours
klaus knows he likes you and finds you amazing but is scared to do anything about it
so violet talks sense into him ofc
โare you going to do anything about it?โ
โabout what?โ
โabout how you like [name].โ
Eventually he works up the courage to talk to you abt itโฆ
โHey [name] i need to uh talk to you about somethingโ you look up worried, wondering why heโs so nervous. โYeah of course, is everything alright klaus?โ
I swear he almost evaporates. one of the things he loves abt u is how caring you are towards him and his sisters
โSo weโve known each other for a bit and I think I um, kinda like uh like you? so i was wondering if youโd wanna do something but I totally get it if you donโt wanna do anything i mean i donโt expect anythingโโ
you cut him off w a kiss
he almost dies ๐ญ๐ญ
and the next weekend monty drives you two to the movies and you watch a fun movie
and then u guys live happily ever after ๐๐๐
JK
so in my imagination soon after that olaf comes and kills monty and then you all separate
eventually you see them again at the academy but so much had changed
EXCEPT HIS FEELINGS FOR YOU
you think he likes isadora but spoiler alert he doesnโt
also when you see him again you notice heโs gotten more attractive
you guys are again separated for a bit until you meet up on the mountain because you were going for VFD
then you stick w them for the rest of the season
and you go with them on the island too
THEN you guys end up happily ever after

Hi!
This sideblog will work as a fic finder for Snicketverse fics! Describe a fic you either read before but forget the name of in the ask box or give details of things you want to read about and I will find a fic that matches the description! :) ๐
For example, you could send an ask saying โA hurt/comfort fic featuring Klausโ or โDo you have any trans Fiona fic recs?โ or โAll I remember is a scene where Quigley snuck in through the windowโ.
If I canโt find the fic myself then Iโll post the ask anyway so that other people can see and if they know the fic in question they can reblog the post with a link to the fic! :)

Please elaborate on your Beatrice started the fire theory i need to know
I am so extremely sorry that I never answered this. I'll do my best to sum it up after a disclaimer:
I have covid and my partner has a broken leg from a hit and run but I will try to write out an explanation that does justice to it soon for you/anyone still following this blog.
I still think about this (and the way it will eventually go into a fanfiction that follows up on my TETMTM one) pretty frequently.
In short:
Beatrice's characterization is largely as an almost coldly efficient member of the Noble VFD. I think she sent the children out and faked her own death (to die later At A Social Engagement, unintended). I think they used the trap door. I think she WANTED Olaf to have the fortune and be a guardian and had managed to miss all the red flags + had enough ties to the firestarting side that she *thought he could stop the schism* . Like everyone did with the VFD itself because they were too invested in Solving Problems to realize they were creating them. There are heaps of justified reasons why, within the text, Beatrice could have legitimately thought the children were, and I know it's ridiculous "safer with Olaf" (or another VFD member, on either or neither side) than with her and her husband at that point and furthermore she *knew the symbolism of fire, of the power of children, of the power of near misses*. I think the entire first book more or less, was the result of one or two bad decisions made by a flammable woman trying to outrun the flame someone else started and starting another to try to fight back.
I'll try to find the energy and time to find my textual evidence + write more on this at some point soon but as mentioned I'm ill, being an unexpected in-home nurse (while taking care of 5 cats and 2 birds), working, preparing for NaNoWriMo, AND writing+drawing a horror comic while in talks to be the artist on a graphic novel. So I'm busy. And Exhausted. I think about this a lot though and want to talk more about it.
