  • yes I tagged Ronald Regan as a character
  • Not as whump-y as some of the other fics in this
  • can you tell I didn't know how to fill this prompt
  • not a political fic
  • Ronald Regan is just a plot mechanism

  Summary

  Whumptober 2020 submission. No 9. "FOR THE GREATER GOOD": “Take Me Instead”, "Run!”
  ------
  Klaus had recently celebrated his 15th birthday, and as an upstanding young man, attempts to come off drugs so he can dropkick Ronald Regan's ghost. Sounds stupid, but again, 15 year old Klaus. It backfires greatly.
