Run Boy Run (While You Still Can)

Summary:

They were once child superheroes. Now? Now they're living ordinary lives, their superhero past long behind them. But it might not stay that way for long. Their father was keeping secrets. Dangerous secrets. And now that he's dead, they're all coming out.

It starts with their father's death. It ends with the apocalypse.

Or, the Generation of Miracles used to be a dysfunctional family of superheroes (oh who are they kidding? they're still dysfunctional), but when Tetsuya returns after his disappearance ten years ago with news of an apocalypse, they must work together to save the world or die trying.
 


(And maybe, just maybe, they'll become a real family along the way)

Notes:

hello and welcome!
so, as mentioned above in the tags, this story is an umbrella academy au, but you do not need to watch the show to read this. however! there are spoilers for the general plot of s1, so please proceed carefully.
 
that is all for now, i hope you enjoy!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)
