✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩
A collection of fics I’ve read (/reread) and thoroughly enjoyed in the past week-ish from all kinds of fandoms and genres.
Umbrella Academy
✩ Fighting (Pre)Determinism by chibi_tantei
They go back in time, determined to rewrite their own family history. Only problem is, only one of them looks the proper age to get near their younger selves.
Or, six months after Five stormed out, determined to time travel, he returns home. His siblings are happy to have him back, but he’s acting differently…
(Or, Five goes undercover as himself. Twice the siblings should make saving the world easier, right? Yet somehow, he’s only now realizing how many issues his family has to fix.)
Side Effects May Vary by CivilBores
Allison crosses her arms. “Five,” she says firmly, “when was the last time you slept?”
“I don’t know,” Five says honestly. At Allison’s expression, he quickly adds, “But it doesn’t matter. I don’t know what it’ll take for all of you pea-brained idiots to realize that.”
“We may not be as intelligent as you, Five,” Allison says, “but at least all of us are smart enough to know how to take care of ourselves.”
OR
A week after the world is saved, Five convinces himself that he is still experiencing lingering side effects of paradox psychosis. His family has something to say about that.
rude awakening by Soulykins
When Five wakes up, he just knows someone is in the room with him. Of course, even he didn’t except to come face to face with the Handler who he’d thought to be very very dead. And he especially didn’t expect her to break into his room and watch him sleep while waiting for him to wake up.
It’s very fortunate that Diego and Klaus show up to wake him up and take offense to some random lady in the same room as their very uncomfortable, very thirteen-year-old brother.
✩ Apocalypse Please by Dynamystic
The movement caught the older woman’s eye, her keen senses zooming in on the Girl’s quarry. The Handler nearly dropped her cigarette, “Don’t you dare, you promised.”
And there was the Handler’s second mistake. Sloppy. No one told the Girl what to do.
“Like you said,” She leaned over the man, very deceased, and reached out a feather light touch along the ash covered cheek, “Circumstances have changed.”

On April 2nd, day two of the apocalypse, Klaus Hargreeves woke up.
BNHA/TUA Crossover
An Unexpected Future by aseies
“I’m sure you’re looking forward to finding a way back to your own time as soon as possible,” Nedzu said. “I want you to know that U.A. will do everything in its power to help you achieve that goal. Time travel is a complicated equation to solve, but I’m sure if we put our heads together we’ll come up with something!”
Five raised a skeptical eyebrow. “And you’re just going to do that out of the goodness of your heart? I’m not even old enough for high school yet.”
“Well, we’re all heroes for a reason, no? What good are we if we can’t help a single child in need?” Nedzu pointed out with a pleasantly neutral smile as he sipped his tea.
OR: Instead of time traveling into the apocalypse, thirteen-year-old Five Hargreeves teleports in the middle of the USJ fight.
He gets a couple of new dads out of it.

next time, next time by aworus
Over and over again, Aizawa Shouta is woken by the same alarm, at the same time, on the same day.
The roof access door alarm is triggered. It is 7:56am. It is Saturday.
And over and over again, Aizawa Shouta is just barely too late to stop Midoriya Izuku from stepping off of the ledge and splattering onto the concrete below.
don’t forget (all you gotta do is call) by carolinaa
Aizawa’s seen signs of something wrong for a long time. It takes a student’s direct words to put change into motion.
The Way Things Burn (and the way they heal) by Trixree
Before the training camp attack—before the dorms and the close quarters and the security measures and the curfew and the living-in-his-classmates-back-pockets… Bakugou notices something.
Todoroki Shouto is fucking weird.
-
In which Bakugou plays at being an amateur detective and teams up with Izuku to completely fuck up Endeavor’s whole damn day (and possibly his entire life, too.)
