Summary
Lila hesitates an extra half second in the subway, and things go very differently.
Dave was just trying to pick up dinner ingredients on the way home from work. He had ground hamburger meat, onions and a jar of pickles in his basket and was headed to the bakery section for a bag of buns, when he turned a corner and nearly ran into the second-to-last person in the world that he would ever want to see.
Adrenaline spiking, he stepped smoothly backwards into the previous aisle, set his basket down on the floor, and left the grocery store immediately. He could get take-out tonight.
What the hell was Klaus Hargreeves doing here?!
(Hey everybody! We have an interdimensional subway now! A happy ending for Dave and Klaus is back on the table!)

Summary
In the summer of 2019, Dave Katz is working for a landscaping service. One of his coworkers tells him about a medium who claims to be able to speak to the dead. When Dave makes an impulsive decision to visit the medium, he can't possibly imagine the beautiful chaos he is about to invite into his life.
Klaus is sober and struggling. Some wild stuff happened in the spring, and now he's reunited with (most of) his siblings and trying to get a handle on his power. Charging people 50 bucks for an interview with a departed loved one seems like a good way to simultaneously face his demons and earn some grocery money.
Then a kind, strong, beautiful man named Dave walks in, hoping to talk to his dead boyfriend. One thing leads to another, and Klaus might find love for the very first time! — if he doesn't stay true to character and fuck it all up before it even gets started, that is.

Summary
“I finished the muffins yesterday,” says Klaus, staring into the pantry. “Well, well, well, this is a most unwelcome development. What are the chances of a time loop on a day when we’re out of muffins? Perpetually muffin-less. No more muffins until the end of time.”
Ben is reliving the day again and again. Klaus is not terribly focused on fixing it.

Summary
After returning to 2019, Klaus finds himself adrift in the revised timeline. Ben is no longer by his side, Dave is approaching his 81st birthday in a nursing home and Klaus lives in a rat-infested one-bedroom apartment with Mrs Pagonis and her dogs. His brothers and sisters have all moved on with their lives, but it feels like there is no place for Klaus in this new altered reality.
He can’t help wondering what his life could have been if he’d never been adopted by Reginald Hargreeves. Then, one day, a shocking revelation leads him on a quest to seek out the one man who can provide the answer: his alternate self.
Jake Martin is a successful Las Vegas medium, commanding the sold-out theatre at The Mandalay every night. Apart from his immense wealth and opulent lifestyle, he is identical to Klaus in every way.
Will Klaus get sucked into his other self’s hedonistic way of life? And just how well does he know himself anyway?
"... destined to be alone... starved for attention... damaged by our upbringing... and haunted by what might have been."

Summary
Having saved the world, the Hargreeves find themselves in a dramatically different 2019, with no money, no place to go, and a Ben-shaped hole in the middle of them.
The only thing left to do is rebuild their lives from the ground up.
...Or fall headfirst into a new adventure and hope everything else sorts itself out.
____________________________
"So, what? Are there other versions of ourselves somewhere out there?""I doubt it. I think what's happened is that we've created a temporal paradox- this is our original timeline, and we exist with the same memories that we've always had, but the rest of the world moved on like we never left 1963."
Five scrubbed a hand over his face, looking deeply weary. "We've essentially become castaways in time."
They were all silent in the wake of that pronouncement.
"This is the worst sleepover I've ever been to," Klaus whispered.
