Summary
After accidentally killing Mandy’s abusive boyfriend six years prior, Mickey was sentenced to prison. After he gets out on parole, he goes through the training to be a Peer Support Specialist and lands a job at the same agency where Ian also works as a Peer Support Specialist. Ian’s dating some rich guy, but Mickey thinks he could do so much better, especially when he sees the bruises on his wrists and face and hears how his boyfriend talks to him when the guy comes to pick him up at the end of his shifts. How can Mickey convince Ian that he deserves better, and that better might just look like a 28-year-old ex-thug turned support counselor?

Shotgun Opera by solitarywoman (Deducingsocks)

Summary
Klaus Hargreeves has always lived on the edge of addiction, of life, of his own unravelling. But when he's brutally assaulted by someone he trusted, the thin line he walks finally crumbles beneath him. With no waypoint but a handful of pills and a syringe, he spirals into a silence that ends up too heavy to carry by himself.
His brother Diego finds him half-dead and haunted. He brings him home in a last-ditch effort to save what’s left of The Seance. But Diego’s not whole either. Still wrestling with his own trauma and desperate to be better, he’s barely holding together the new life he’s trying to build.
Shotgun Opera is a story about what comes after the worst night of your life. About bruised bodies, broken minds, and the kind of survival that doesn’t come clean. Gritty, visceral, and unapologetically raw, this is not a story of redemption, but it just might be the beginning.

Summary
When Dave gets sent to A Shau Valley in Vietnam, he is reminded of the 'prophet' who tried to stop him enlisting by telling him he would die there. He tries to ignore the memories at first, but it becomes difficult after the man himself appears in front of him one night, seemingly with no idea that they had ever met before.
Or, their Vietnam (love) story, but in the alternate timeline where Dave has already met Klaus in Texas, and realises that maybe what the 'prophet' said was real.

The Name-tag Reads: "Hello, I'm a Royal Fuck-up" by Le_kunokimchi

Summary
“What the hell do you think you’re doing here?”
The voice makes him freeze; he knew that voice, he knew it like the ocean knew sand. He never thought of this possibility, it was very stupid of him for not.
“I could ask you the same thing,” he mumbles, refusing to face the man behind him.
A bitter, humorless snort is heard and Klaus flinches subtly. “That’s rich,” Ben says, “coming from the person who stopped me from being here seventeen years ago.”
The medium slumps in on himself a little; he was still mad, Ben was still mad… Why are they always fighting? Where did they go wrong?
“You could have gone back anytime; it’s not my fault you were scared,” he mutters bleakly.
“Yeah, right, because you didn’t need me? It’s apparent you couldn’t even make it a full day without me.”
(Or the one where Ben and Klaus reunite in an unexpected way and talk about their differences. An apology was long overdue and third chance's the charm, he supposes.)

Summary
"I can't keep watching you do this to yourself Klaus!"
Klaus just giggles, lighting up another joint of… actually they can't remember. Something good, he hopes, rubbing at the fresh bruise on their cheek. "Do what, Ben? Have a little fun? I told you to leave before the naughty bits."

Summary
“I love you.”
The words crack through the air like a gunshot; sharp, pinpoint pain slips through the spaces between his ribs and punctures his lungs and he can’t fucking breathe.
“What?”
“I love you,” Dave repeats like it’s as easy as breathing; like he hasn’t just ripped apart the foundation Klaus has carefully, meticulously built his world on; like he hasn’t torn down every wall Klaus has ever built, crumbled every shield and laid him bare, defenseless, afraid.
“You don’t. You can’t.” Klaus says hollowly, and Dave huffs a quiet laugh.
“That how we’re gonna play this, huh, Hargreeves?” He asks, a wry twist to his lips. “Why, then?”
“Because I don’t love you, Dave,” he says as steadily as he can and it’s- it isn’t true, but that doesn’t matter.

Summary
Klaus is not a bad person compared to the Earth's entire population, he is not even a bad person compared to everyone in the Hargreeves family (it would be hard to top Dad); but compared to Ben, he is the worst person in existence. Compared to Ben, he is an idiot. Compared to Ben, he is a failure.
To fall is a relative term and when his family looks at their (very limited and isolated) time with Ben and at their time knowing Klaus… it is clear who has fallen from grace and who has risen to greatness.
It is clear that, relatively, he could have done so much better.
OR
"I heard a rumor," He desperately tries to cover his ears but it's to no avail; his irises slip into a milky white, "that you do whatever Ben tells you to do."
