Summary
Ben sighed. “Klaus, you can’t keep going like this. You need to talk to someone.”
“What do you mean? I’m doing great, better impossible!”
The nightmares were bearable (that was a lie). The flashes? He would get used to them. Klaus was fine (he was so tired). No need to get the others involved.
(He gets by dealing with it, until suddenly it's not enough and it blows up on his face).

Summary
His life changed one January night when he went out to a bar like usual. The bar was crowded, filled with sweaty bodies all either drunk or high, dancing like idiots without a care in the world. This was the place where he felt most alive. Where the ghosts couldn’t reach him and he was free to be whoever the hell he wanted to.
There, he met a girl like him. They ended up tangled in some random motel room, lost in passion and drunken attraction. It was good, until it all came crashing down on his head a month later in November, when she blew into his room, a furious look on her face that made him sit up.
“I’m fucking pregnant.” She snarled, and okay well that wasn’t what he was expecting at all.

Summary
Klaus returned from Vietnam feeling a bit like a ghost, covered in dirt and blood, and all but dragging himself back to the Academy. It probably would have been easier to drag himself the way, too, what with a shoddy 70s prosthesis replacing his right leg.
Who has time for the apocalypse when it seems like the worst has already happened?

Summary
Klaus' hands were still filthy with dried blood and muck as he fumbled at the clasps, the combination lock on the top. Desperate, blind hope had his heart going a mile a minute.
The dial still read that seemingly random set of numbers it had the first time he opened it on the bus, what felt like a lifetime ago.0213-18-02-1967
“Please.” Klaus choked. “Please work.”
He opened the briefcase.- Language:

Summary
Number Four was a failure, he said. Number Four didn't have powers, no, he had schizophrenia. He took pills that came from his father's hands and told himself it was all a hallucination.
In the end, they should have known better. Klaus Hargreeves can speak to the dead, can conjure and control every dead soul, and he ends the world.
Or,
Klaus' powers get out of hand at a young age. Reginald, the A+ parent, claims him as schizophrenic from there on. Eventually, he breaks.

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!)

Alex thinks he knows what he’s getting into when he bars law enforcement from searching the Airstream while he waits for Michael.

Summary
They're just two souls lost in a sea of sadness. Neither has lived the life they were meant to live. Neither has found happiness. They're just surviving, waiting for the right moment, the right second when everything will make sense again.
For Michael, that moment translates into finding his mother. For Alex, that second means defeating his father.
When their paths cross again, will they be brave enough to take a step forward together?

Summary
“Doña Ana County started issuing marriage licenses,” Michael said. Alex could hear the strain in Michael’s voice, the force causal nature of it. “And so did Sante Fe and Bernalillo.”
“You know, I hear that’s their job,” Alex replied with a smile. Even on the other side of the world, Alex found Michael’s ridiculousness charming. “If that’s all you wanted to tell me on our one phone call for the month…” Alex trailed off.
“You know what I mean Alex, they’re issuing same-sex licenses. It’s not official, and fuck knows Chavez County won’t do it of their own volition, but it’s happening Alex.” Michael paused. Alex could hear Michael’s shaky breath over the long distance lines. “And when they make it official, I was hoping that we could too.”
“Really Guerin? That’s the best proposal you could do?”Or:
Michael and Alex actually communicate and how that impacts their relationship through the years.
