#my childhood tho aaaa all stars was my Life

[zontiky]

okay so i tried to save this ask as a draft and it got deleted because tumblr is just such a functional website like that <3 but the prompt was “the hargreeves as ghosts in the apocalypse with five” or something like that i’m going to scream

this is SUPER long so i’m putting it under the cut hfkjsd

pre-five: the hargreeves siblings are dead. wait i feel a drabble coming on ooh

The Hargreeves siblings are dead.

Ben isn’t very aware of this at first. He’s been dead since 2006 -- he’s quite used to it, by now. What he is aware of, first, is light. Blinding white light. And Vanya, in the middle of it. He doesn’t close his eyes because he can’t feel pain, but if he could he thinks she would have made him blind. There’s light, and heat, and power, and then he closes his eyes anyway because the ceiling is collapsing around him and it’s instinctual.

When he opens them again he sees ash. Ash -- and Klaus.

He’s gotten used to Klaus, too. Klaus has a memorable sort of face; even if he didn’t, Ben has seen it every single day for almost twenty years. He doesn’t know if it’s actually been twenty years, for him. He doesn’t know how time moves for ghosts. Klaus has assured him it moves the same as it does for the living. Ben isn’t sure Klaus, stoned out of his mind, bleeding sluggishly from his arm, knew what he was talking about.

Anyway.

Klaus.

He’s wearing the coat he’s been flaunting around for the past week. His shirt is see-through, with little stars on it, like a pale imitation of the sky. Ben remembers his pants had laces on them, he’s sure they did not a minute ago, before the brightness that threatened to wipe out his very soul -- his soul is all he has left, really. His gaze drifts down anyway, to check.

Yes. Klaus’ pants have laces up the sides.

“No,” Ben says. Klaus is laying in a heap on the ground, his fingers curled like his tendons have been cut.

His lips feel numb because they always feel numb. Because Ben can’t feel at all. He takes a step. “No,” he says again, louder, surer. “No!”

Klaus looks up at him. His makeup is smudged, like it tends to be. His lips are bitten raw, like they tend to be. His hair is a mess, like it tends to be, and like it will be, always, because Klaus isn’t breathing.

Klaus is lying in a heap on the ground. Klaus is standing above his own body. Klaus is reaching for Ben like he’s hoping to touch him for the first time in years. Just when Klaus’ cold, dead, fingers brush his face, a voice from behind says, so quietly, dripping with disbelief: “Ben?”

Ben shuts his eyes and wishes desperately he could cry.

He feels a hand on his shoulder, for the first time in so, so long, but he also doesn’t feel it at all. He feels-but-doesn’t-feel someone turn him around, until they are saying, “Ben? Ben!” and he has no choice but to open his eyes and face the music.

Diego is gripping his shoulders like he is a dying man and Ben is the answer. Behind him, Luther and Allison watch them, stunned silent. Allison’s hands are pressed to her mouth. She looks like she wants to cry. 

And Vanya. Little Vanya, painted white. Her head is hung as her shoulders shake with the weight of the destruction she has so inevitably caused. (Ben would say he always knew she was destined for great things -- but he can’t, because he didn’t.) (Nobody ever said great things had to be good.)

The Hargreeves siblings are dead. Their bodies are strewn across what is left of their childhood home, smouldering and burning, and Ben is very aware of that fact.

righto anyway. so they have an emotional reunion but its also kind of bitter? id have to actually write this for it to make sense so lets skip it for now lol

five shows up

he cannot see them obviously bc theyre all ghosts

god if i did write this it would be such a monster of a fic and would take me like 2 years to finish i already know fhkjdsk

somehow ?? they manage to influence the world around them maybe? idk maybe now that klaus is dead hes sober

or maybe hes high for all eternity?

for the purposes of this au lets say he died sober or in the late stages of withdrawal, and bc ghosts cant feel pain in action hes sober

so EVENTUALLY they figure out how to corporealize bc klaus is like blam wham ghost powers

asdlfk that sounds so stupid im sorry

he would say that tho imho,,, it sounds like something hed say,,,

if i DID write this it would be alternating povs also,,,

ok so out of all of them klaus and ben have the most experience homeless

and while being stuck in an apocalypse is not at all the same thing as being homeless it does help to have some knowledge

five doesnt eat the twinkie!! good for him

dammit okay. theres 2 options we can take here. in the comics five couldnt get back bc he fucked up his math and spent 15 years doing the wrong thing, but if u apply that here, with 6 other ppl checking his work this could be avoided and they end up skipping the whole assassin shtick and just hopping straight back to 2019, ready to prevent the apocalypse

OR five still gets hired for the commission but the sibs are tagging along

i think bc five isnt completely alone in this au unfortunately dolores doesnt exist :((

for each other the 2 paths tho theres also options?? bc they (ghosts) can go back in time and inhabit their past selves bodies? OR they could just,,, cease to exist

IM JUST NOW REALIZING HOW MANY PATHS THIS COULD TAKE,, AAH FUCK

okay gonna split this into parts. this is gonna be so long brace yourselves.

1) they go back in time because math checking and the ghosts swap out for their past selves

after multiple years of being stuck in an apocalypse together i think they would learn to get along with each other. like at least a little bit

which would make it easier for them to prevent the apocalypse

bc theyd:

trust each other more

already know abt the apocalypse and not have to wait for five to grace them all with his knowledge

are working as a team from the very beginning

have open lines of communication

yeah uh. so there

vanya is also already aware of her powers so the whole harold goading her into turning against her family and snapping to wipe out all life on earth thing? yeah that doesnt happen

oh and harold wouldn’t know how to do that in the first place because klaus wouldn’t throw out reggie’s journal! this solves so many problems wtf

there’s still commission issues bc they (and by they i mean five) are on the commission’s radar

so there’s still dope fight scenes sdlkfd pinky promise

okay idk. they stop the apocalypse and everything is okay the end hfkjd

2) they fix the math but only five can go back and the ghosts cease to exist

this is just sad! it would be sad okay! im sad! lets move on

subset of the past one: ben CAN go back with five because he was already dead and time travel affects them differently or something idk

aaaaaa

five & ben dynamic duo would be dope as shit BUT five would not be able to see him... so they use klaus as a middleman fjsdsfd

is there 2 bens? is one ben deleted in favor of the time-traveling ben? i dont know! i dont know my brain is melting

either way shit is happening yall!! obviously klaus is clued in, directly or indirectly it doesnt matter but he is on board the ‘don’t let the entire world end in flames’ train

3) they join the commission and then when five goes back in time they all go back

this is fun because now five is a highly trained assassin who is also lowkey a complete marshmallow for his siblings and once again TEAMWORK WOO

basically the first path but now five has a gun fhsdjk

4) they join the commission but five has to leave them behind and they cease to exist

five with a gun but hes sad now

i didnt go into how much losing his siblings would suck in the prev path but like. it would suck so much. he’s already lost them once if you think about it when he time traveled the first time and yeah he found the adult ghost versions but,, its different

and now suddenly hes stuck with these strange adult versions of the people he knows and he KNOWS them but also he doesnt? at all? they dont have all the years of shared experiences together? and theyre all grown up from the first ‘set’ of siblings he had which for five was like 40+ years ago??

SCREAMS

i have losing my mind disease (self-diagnosed)

subset: five has to leave them behind but they still exist because the commission is out-of-time kind of? idk but they’re still floating around somewhere and come back to impact the plot later or something

yeah idk. literally just wrote them down bc i didnt want them to die^2 hfkjwehd

subset: they still exist but instead of being just Somewhere they’re specifically at the assassination of JFK onwards because thats where five left them and they either go on ghosting and make an appearance in s2 OR they cease because them-wise they havent died yet but that doesnt make sense because ghosts can time travel so nevermind

i dont have the brain energy left to explore this one aaaa

okay jesus christ i think that’s all

I DON’T KNOW. i don’t know. i might write some more of this because honestly it is a very fine flavor of angst + hurt/comfort <3

[frostironficrecs]

Tagged by the dear @amakatarei~ Thank for tagging me ^^ lol Rules: 1. Post the rules 2. Answer the questions given to you by the tagger 3. Write 11 questions of your own 4 Tag 11 people! 1. What’s your star sign? Me? I’m a Leo. (Haha look at me making a Kagami reference in there lol) 2. What’s your dearest childhood memory? Probably all the times I spent in Greece during summer with my grandparents. At the start of my last year in Kindergarten we even stayed until October and it was so damn cold. I couldn’t believe this was really Greece, but it was really nice with the fire my grandpa made and everytime he took me with his motorcycle through our village or whenever I walked up to the village center with my gradma. I really miss those times, especially now where everything just kinda crushes me slowly. (Oof that went longer on and got deeper at the end than intendet sorry) 3. If you could change something that would affect the whole world, what would it be? I’m gonna make a selfish change the world wish and a actually helpful wish: My selfish wish would probably be to turn back time to the year 2001-2002 lol. I just have decisions I’d like to change in my life and around the world (tho as child, I won’t have much to say rip. (But I could make bets on stuff and people would think I have powers and then I’M R I C H (oh god I’m sorry))) but yeah, going back with the knowledge of what will happen in the future would be nice to emotionally get ready for it oof. My wish that would actually be good for the world, is probably that we have equality maybe or more intelligence (or that useless math themes would stop being a god damn thing), but definitelly a wish that would stop humanity from being as studip as it is right now 4. Do you have any celebrity crushes? Nope. (Anime doesn’t count, right?) 5. Is there something you used to post about on your blog and you no longer do? What is it? Heettaaa- liiii- aaaa.(yeah I stopped posting Hetalia (maybe once in a few months there will show up something, but I mostly don’t soo) 6. Which are your #1 otp and your #1 notp? Being honest, a few months ago I would have said Midotaka, but now it’s AoKaga (and generally Kaga ships, but AoKaga is first place lolol). And my Notp.. Aomomo with a very high chance and (PruCan, but I’m not into Hetalia that much anymore so, uh, yeah I don’t really count that anymore) But yeah, this is literally the only ship I don’t like (I think?) at the moment, but i’m chill if any of u like it of course. 7. Which was the last book you’ve read? Does Manga count, too? If yes then, Kuroko no Basket (surprise, surprise). But if we talk about real book, then.. uh.. some chapters of the knb replace novel..? Or the Attack on Titan light novel Lost Girls, I honestly can’t remember (I’ll add it later if I should remember the correct one) 8. Mention amovie you can relate to. Hm.. Maybe back to the future 2 and 3 (and the end of 1 lol) because of my wish to change whatever bad thing happened or will happen like Doc who helped Martin change the future of his children who would have end up in jail or when Martin went back in time to save Doc. Browns life twice lolol. You know? Just.. changing time. (Does this count? I’m not really watching many movies anymore so uh there’s that) 9. Is there anything about your style you wouldn’t change even if you got billions of dollars for it? Do I even have a style? I’m not even sure if I have one? So uh maybe I would change it? Idk lol. Or.. Does it mean I’d have to stop wearing black? Does it mean I’d have to wear pink? If yes, I’ll just wear really dark blue or dark grey (genius me) , heck I want that money #priortiesareset. 10. If you could change your name which name would you pick? Hm, probs a greek name lol. Let’s see… Asteria (star(s), Astra (from the stars), Eleftheria (freedom), Candace (fire white)… 11. What were you doing before you started replying this meme thingy? Uh, a mix of sorting stuff out and chatting and maybe having break down (what an end to this post xDD) My quesstiionns: 1. If you could be an animal, which would you be? 2. Would you rather live in the past or in the future? 3. If you could choose to live in an other country, in which one would you like to live? 4. Have you a favourite language? Or one you would like to learn? 5. Favourite ice cream flavour? 6. Do you believe in horoscopes or nah? 7. How are you feeling today? (A little small talk hehe) 8. Beaches, mountains or city? 9. Favourite movie genre? 10. What are you thoughts on today’s society? 11. Can you easily open up to people? I don’t know if I have enough people to tag so uh, @skystar720 and @mymistakewriting if you guys maybe want to, the rest just feel tag if you want to
