What I Never Knew I Always Wanted by TwistedIllusions
Fandoms: The Umbrella Academy (TV)

Summary
Klaus always knew he was a fuck up; a low life good for absolutely nothing drug addict. He’d made plenty of mistakes in his life, and he accepted it. But when his casual Tuesday fling winds up pregnant and doesn’t want the baby, Klaus can’t just abandon it...can he?
Klaus’s entire perspective on life changes when that sweet, innocent bundle of joy gets placed into his hands. In that moment Klaus knew he needed to change. He needed to be a better person, he needed to be there wholly for his daughter.
His past mistakes needed to be just that: Mistakes from his past; his present and future now solely revolved around keeping his precious baby girl happy, healthy and safe.

Klaus has a baby named Riley, gets sober, falls in love with Dave, and Diego reunited with him. Absolutely adorable.
Another awesome Klaus fic for the history books.

Summary
He can almost taste their bloodlust on his tongue, feel their rage heavy in his breastbone. They’re bad today, and it’s safe to say he’s having a very bad day as a result. Each swipe is sending icy pain across his skin, making him shiver. God, he’s cold.
He closes his eyes, pretending not to hear the faint roar of the snarling, crying, screeching mass around him. Why did he think sobriety was a good idea? Christ on a cracker, this fucking sucked.
Or: After hopping around time, and returning to the day of the apocalypse that never was, Klaus falls apart slowly, then all at once.

Klaus can feel the emotions of the ghosts that follow him- causing a breakdown that enlightens his family. Hurt, comfort, then more hurt, and is unfortunately unfinished.
I still consider this a top tier Klaus fanfic to keep coming back to.

Summary
A funeral is either the best or worst time for family reunions. Not that anyone involved has a choice about this, but if they did, it would probably fall in favor of never seeing each other again.
So, naturally, fate conspires against them.

Klaus and Ben’s life post revelation in the last fanfic (this being part 3 of 3) and the chaos that comes to them when they return to the Academy.

It's hard, being dead. Even harder when you have to watch your brother self-destruct for no reason at all.

In which Klaus gets high to avoid possession until Ben makes an accidental discovery that helps both of them.
A long journey (and only part 2 of 3) that is completely worth it. Another banger for the Klaus lovers of the TUA fandom.

Summary
Klaus is never quite sure, until the moment he's getting punched in the face, whether the ghost of Ben following him around is anything more than an extremely vivid hallucination.
