#aj carmichael x five

[stephsageek]

A master list of all of my tua and fallout fics on AO3:

TUA-Canon Compliant (General Audiences):

"New Timeline, New Me" (Status: Complete)

Summary:

Having landed in the new Sparrow timeline and having checked into the Hotel Obsidian, the Hargreeve siblings are finally able to take a moment to catch their breath. But in that lull, Klaus realizes that something is a little off about Five.

“Hey? Is it just me, or has little Number Five gotten taller?”

TUA-Canon Compliant (Mature/Explicit):

Stand-Alone Stories:

"Much Longer Than Six Years, Five Months, and Two Days" (Five x Lila. Status: Ongoing):

Summary:

Some people believe an affair starts when two people cross the line and become physical with one another. Five and Lila knew better. Looking back, this ‘thing’ between him and Lila had begun much longer than six years, five months, and two days ago. If either of them had been capable of being honest with themselves, they might have been able to admit, it had started from the very beginning.

TUA-AU (Mature/Explicit):

Five x Lila Series:

"Partners In Time"

"The Best of the Best" (Status: Complete)

Summary:

“Commission protocol states that all temporal assassins must be assigned a partner for no less than one year as part of a standard five-year contract. Now, I understand that Number Five is something of a pet project for you, but that does not excuse him from proper procedure.”

“AJ, you know me! I completely agree with company policy. But AJ, pairing Five with Lila of all people will be an unmitigated disaster!”

Straight out of basic training, and an apocalypse, Number Five Hargreeves has joined the Commission. He and the Handler agree that he would be most effective as a solo agent as he is still suffering from a number of apocalypse related issues including an aversion to socialization and a healthy dose of PTSD. AJ Carmichael however disagrees.

Thus, Five must contend with his new partner: rookie assassin Lila Pitts.

1.a. (stand-alone story) "Dead by X-mas: The SantaCon Job" (Status: Complete)

Summary:

They say that the holidays are a time of peace, love, and goodwill toward men.

Well, whoever ‘they’ might be, they obviously never worked for the Commission.

SantaCon is a roving, loosely organized event, which can only be described as a cross between a flash mob and if Sodom and Gomorrah were tarted up with tinsel. It is an event where people dress like Santa Claus, elves, or other holiday figures and parade around a city in varying states of sobriety.

There are fights, there is vandalism, there is drinking, there are drugs, there is dancing, there is nudity, there are pranks, there is stealing, and all of it is impossible to prosecute because everyone matches the same description; in short there is santarchy.

In other words, the perfect cover for a pair of temporal assassins out on a job.

You better watch out, you better not cry, because Five and Lila are coming to town!

2. "The London Job" (Status: Complete)

Summary:

After working together for years as temporal assassins at the Temps Commission, partners Number Five Hargreeves and Lila Pitts have proven themselves to be the best of the best.

But can these two legendary assassins survive their latest mission, the derailment of a major railway in London in November of 1967? And what will come to light when they find themselves unexpectedly running into Lila's birth parents? Will their friendship survive the devastating fallout?

A direct sequel to the story, "The Best of the Best."

3. "He Sleeps with the Fishes: The Hoffa Job" (Status: ongoing)

Summary:

Living outside of normal space-time, partners and temporal assassins Lila Pitts and Number Five Hargreeves, have been together for years, dealing with murder, mayhem, math, and the machinations of not only the Handler but of the board of directors themselves.

One day, our anti-heroes find themselves tasked with their latest mission: assassinate well-known historical figure and urban legend, Jimmy Hoffa.

How hard can it be to get rid of one washed-up, corrupt former teamster?

Turns out, pretty hard when the mob, a pair of hitmen, the FBI, and a jilted former mistress are all after him too.

Oh, and let's not forget the sea monster.

A direct sequel to "The London Job"

Upcoming Stories:

"The Kennedy Job" (2nd to last in the series) [I'm really looking forward to this one as it will address the body/DNA modifications seen in the comics. It will also include many conspiracy theories attached to the Kennedy assassination, not to mention our heroes will finally attempt their big jump, only to run into the LAST people they ever expected].

"The Apocalypse Job" (the last in the series) [This will involve what happens when Five and Lila make their big jump into the 2019 apocalypse. It will address Reginald's involvement with the Commission as well as the alternate timelines. Not to mention the fates of the other 35 children born on October 1st, 1989. This one will be very long because it WILL deal with characters like Patch, Sissy, Ray, Dave, Harlen, and Claire].

FALLOUT (TV SERIES):

(Ghoulcy)

"Ain't That A Kick in the Head" (Status: Ongoing)

Summary:

Lucy Maclean didn't know what she was getting herself into when she decided to follow the ghoul. He was a selfish scoundrel, a murderer, and a thief.

But he was also the only person on the surface who had never lied to her.

Lucy thought she didn't know why she followed, but the truth was, she'd known all along.

🔥 Fiora Carmichael Design 🔥 :

Her Season 2 Design - ⬆️

Her Season 4 Design - ⬇️

Personally I love her season 4 design more but eh what the heck-

Feel free to draw her, I don’t mind.

In season 2, she’s 13 and in season 4, she’s 20.

Personally she would be a better wife then Lila, she would make season 4 better then Five x Lila- am I right? Or- I will let you fans decide.

Just a reminder, she’s not evil like her adopted father- yes her adopted father is the fish head AJ. She was forced to do evil things with her adopted father, she has trauma b/c of it.

(would love to thank @nightviator for this idea- please go show them your support :])

As I���m typing this, I’m actually watching tua at the moment but pls no spoilers.

Her conscience is in her late 40s.

oc new years challenge 2023~2024 ⇝ day two

I Polish Up Real Nice ft. Mirage Carmichael/Five Hargreeves

"You know that I'm not the type you should waste your time on."/"Too bad, you're the only one I want."

x

this is a remake of a gifspam about a year old, it's under the cut along with some notes about Mirage's evolution!!

Mirage Mirage Mirage... when I first created her, I simply wanted a self-insert oc to ship with Five bc I am In Love with the grumpy old man. As I delved deeper into her relationship with Five though, I realized that I had to give Mirage her own problems and challenges, she couldn't just be Five's lover because in my interpretation of his character, Five isn't the kind of person to just fall in love with a pretty sassy girl, he has to be able to connect with the person, and he has to have a love interest that's competent in their own way, being able to stand up on their own two feet without Five coddling their every move. The first-ever ideas for Mirage were basically just "Kaz Brekker but make her do government-ish stuff, assassin, targeted by the Handler and nearly gets killed by her, aversion to touch" Absolutely no notes on her relationship with the other two kids that were adopted by AJ -- Emmy and Telepath -- and an entire google doc dedicated to her and Five oneshots

yeah, I was whipped af lol

but after some time, in which I poked around in other fandoms and got "better" at creating backstories and motivation, I circled back to Mirage. I started thinking about what could've turned someone who was groomed to be AJ's successor, someone who was only taught the basics of fighting before the Handler came, into an assassin who bided her time until she could finally regain control of the Commission? I realized something that was very much inspired by a certain Marvel show that someone might have heard me complaining that I neglected the plot bunny I made for it (I swear I'll do it next year) was literally perfect for Mirage, it's a play on her name and power, and it fills in all the plot holes I ignored in the first few drafts of her story. So yeah, that's basically the story of Mirage's evolution, along with her faceclaim change due to me admitting that pairing someone in their late twenties with a teenager is just... weird and uncomfortable to me lol; Mirage is one of the first ocs I ever introduced on here, and she's also one of my most constant brainworms, like literally I can talk about her any time and place because there's so much to share about her asldaksda

the enabler's call: @arrthurpendragon, @bibaybe, @daughter-of-melpomene, @auxiliarydetective, @starcrossedjedis, @fakedatings, @carmens-garden, @nightmaresart -- want to be added? shoot me an ask!!

[the-umbrella-academy-confessions]

Confession: “Carmichael FUCKED five. That happened in the comics for sure at least and I stand by it”

[viego-is-my-otp]

I assume this is for ships. But you pick the ship ig. U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

I picked Fivemicheal and did all of them :)

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

Five: grumpy, tired, usually sore and definitely ready for a drink. Postcoitus Five does not want to be touched, he just wants to get drunk and sleep

Carmichael: bored and tired. He doesn't want to be talked to or touched and would rather go to his office

B = Body part (Their favourite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Five hates everything about him

Carmichael likes Five's thighs and ass. His body is robotic so he appreciates softness, especially soft squishy thighs, stomach and ass

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

Five's body is way too young to young to produce proper cum so it's sort of watery

Carmichael specifically designed his robot dick to cum because he is a pervert and likes the idea of cumming in Five

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Five almost exclusively bottoms

Carmichael is hella gay but doesn't want people to know

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Five's been around the block. Men, women, aliens, non-binaries, Reginald and Marilyn Monroe impersonators. He knows what he's doing and he knows how to give that sloppy toppy and ride like a bad bitch

Carmichael has very little experience because he is very choosy and has intensely high standards.

F = Favourite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

Five is a basic bitch who likes the lover's cradle. He loves being taken care of and getting attention. Intimacy and closeness is his favourite thing, especially when he can get held through his orgasm by his wife.

Carmichael likes doggy style because Five has excellent thighs

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Five tries to be serious but giggles when he's sleeping with Dolores, especially when she touches his sensitive spots

Carmichael is serious, cold and calculated during sex, just like he is with everything.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

Five's body is hella young so he doesn't really have pubes or body hair

Carmichael has a robot body

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

Five is very romantic when he's with someone he loves. He likes making his partner feel taken care of and loves kissing through it

Carmichael doesn't care for people

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

Five masturbates almost everyday, sometimes multiple times a day. His surgeries made his sex drive skyrocket and he needs to take care of it constantly

Carmichael doesn't care for masturbation, he's saving himself to ruining Five's asshole

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Five: bondage, leather, being submissive, cross dressing, somnophilia, pegging

Carmichael: chubby chaser, being dominant, ddlb, sadism, noncon

L = Location (Favourite places to do the do)

Five likes fancy hotel rooms, preferably one with a wine list and room service

Carmichael is always a fan of sex in his office

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

Five: Dolores, seeing boobs, thighs, lace, white dresses, wedding decorations, marilyn monroe impersonators, drugs on people's bodies, body piercings

Carmichael: thick thighs, crying, quivering lips, chubby boys, hickeys, lace lingerie, handprint marks from spanking, people too high to fight back, somnophilia, school boy uniforms, boys dressed like women

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Five: Carmichael, cock and ball torture, daddy doms, moustaches, scat

Carmichael: women, scat, fire related things

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Five: eats pussy very well and can deep throat, would rather give than receive. Doesn't trust his dick in people's mouths

Carmichael: literally cannot give and likes receiving from Five

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Five ranges from slow and sweet to fast and rough. He prefers people to be sweet with him when they're very close but he prefers to get rough when he doesn't know them.

Carmichael is almost exclusively rough with people. He is occasionally soft with Five when Five is extra coked out or drugged out of his mind

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Five prefers quickies to most sex and they usually take care of his needs for a while

Carmichael prefers long sexual experiences. You can't torture people enough in less than you can with longer ones

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Five's done cocaine off a stripper's stomach in a vampire themed lounge, he'll do whatever he wants and whatever his partners want

Carmichael is a fish in a suit and a fedora, he needs to be risky to get laid

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

Usually Five can go a couple rounds, unless he's drunk, then he'll pass out quickly. If he's coked out, he'll fuck around for hours

Carmichael's robotic body lasts a while

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

Five has no toys but he appreciates them and accepts them being used on him

Carmichael has a collection of toys which he likes and uses very much on Five

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Five's a bitch for the slow striptease

Carmichael enjoys torturing people

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

Five can be very loud but usually chooses to muffle himself

Carmichael is almost completely silent. He doesn't moan but he'll dirty talk sometimes

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Five likes wearing lacy lingerie and occasionally cries after sex

Carmichael doesn't wear underwear

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

Five's like 4 inches and has practically no body hair anywhere. He's small, uncircumcised and pink

Carmichael has a metal robot dick that vibrates and makes artificial cum for fun sexy reasons. 9 inches, babyyy

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

Five's sex drive is absolutely raging constantly and gets in the way of most things

Carmichael rarely has sexual feelings, he just enjoys sexual torture for the fun of it

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

Five usually passes out half an hour after sex

Sex doesn't affect Carmichael's sleep schedule

50 Cliché Tropes and Prompts: 26. Cuddling in comfortable silence before murmuring “I love you” + 47. “I’ve been in love with you for years”

Pairing: Five Hargreeves x Fem!Reader

Word Count: 4,118 words

Warning: Swearing, violence

His head feels like it’s been split open, the rest of his body feels like one giant bruise and the Handler’s daughter has her fancy leather boot on his fucking throat.

Five couldn’t be less surprised by his luck.

“Doesn’t feel so good, does it?”

He forces in just enough breath to answer her. “Eat shit and die …!”

The reaction is worth it. Lila lets out a furious cry, gritting her teeth and bringing her foot down even harder – and in doing so, changes her center of gravity. Opportunity. Five digs his nails into that damned shoe and pushes upwards. The sudden force sends her flying, and he can breathe again.

Fighting the ache in his bones, Five stumbles to his feet as she does the same. “Come on,” he pants, readying his stance as the woman turns to face him again. “What are you waiting for? Let’s finish this thing.”

She shakes her head. “No,” she whispers, sniffling. “This isn’t gonna be quick. You are going to suffer for what you did.”

Suffer? For Christ’s sake – Five scoffs and drops his hands. “Lady, I got no idea what you’re talkin’ about.”

“Ronnie and Anita Gill.”

“Mean nothing to me.”

“1993, East London.” Lila continues to stare at him like he knows what the hell she’s talking about. “You hog-tied them and you shot them in the head.”

Five narrows his eyes; it’s very possible that she’s just bullshitting him. But despite the rationality of just ignoring her and going for the kill, he searches his memories anyway. 1993, East London. Hog-tied. Tables overturned, the pleas of a couple inside a tiny flat in the middle of the night. Yes, wait – he does remember. 1993, toys strewn everywhere – he told you to close your eyes but you didn’t – East London, two quick shots –

“We had no choice.”

“I know. But …”

“The flower merchants,” he murmurs. Five looks at her with wide eyes. “They were your parents …!”

“And they never did anything to anyone. They didn’t deserve to die like that.”

The Handler ordered him to kill Lila’s parents. Lila, who has powers like them. That couldn’t have been a coincidence.

Absorbing this newfound information, Five attempts to talk the woman down as he fills out the rest of the picture. “You’re right, alright? I killed them. But I killed a lot of people over the years. It was all just a job. Alright? That was never personal.”

At that, Lila laughs. “‘Never personal,’ my ass,” she sneers. “Yeah, I’ve killed – it’s always, always personal.”

“That’s why you’re not cut out to be an assassin.”

She yanks a knife out of her boot as soon as the sentence leaves his mouth. “Bet your life on that?”

Right then, a shadow moves in the doorway to the barn. Five immediately knows who it is, and his heart seizes in his chest.

“Lila!” Your voice is firm and taunting.

Shit. Shit!

Without hesitation, Five lunges for the knife, only to find himself grabbing at air as Lila reappears behind you. The blade is pressed against your neck before he can even shout your name.

Five clenches his fists as he meets your eyes. Your expression is stony, hands stiffly grasping at Lila’s arm. Jesus Christ, just a little energy to blink – nothing –!

Fucking shit!

“Let her go.”

—

The bearded man smiles. “Sorry, no can do.”

The alley is frigid and dark, the air damp and rotting. He doesn’t move a muscle. In front of him, you breathe steadily, in and out, not saying a word. The steel barrel pressed flush to your temple mirrors the one against his.

“Just hand over your valuables and that briefcase, and we can be on our way.”

“Sorry,” you say, voice steady and cold. (It makes him proud.) “Everything stays with us.”

He looks at you. You blink.

Within the next half-second, he’s knocked your captor to the ground and the two of you are aiming the guns at their previous owners. They raise their hands almost immediately. Exactly like the exercise from his youth.

Another half-second, and both of you pull the triggers.

Five stares down at the corpse now lying on the ground. Then he straightens his tie and turns to you.

You’re still pointing the gun at the other target. His frown softens.

“[Y/n].”

Putting a hand on your arm, he notes how you stiffen, snapping out of whatever zone you had been in. You meet his eyes and breathe in sharply, then relax.

“We’re done.” You frame the question as more of a statement as Five takes the former thief’s gun from you.

“For the night,” he affirms, holding your gaze curiously. “You good?”

You wet your lips and tuck your weapon away. “I’m okay,” you eventually reply. He raises an eyebrow; your mouth twitches. “I just – well, you’re taking this whole assassin thing a lot better than I am. Pointing guns and shooting and killing for real, and – and all that pizzazz.”

“I was a member of the Umbrella Academy,” Five points out dryly. “Thirteen more years of formal training and being able to spatial jump gives me somewhat of an advantage.”

“… That’s true.” Still, you seem unsettled. “Five, you’re okay with this? We’re … killing people.”

“No. But we have no other option,” he says. “It’s only until I figure out how to get us back, alright?”

You hesitate, then nod. “Alright.”

The pair of you leave the alley, leaving the targets there to be found by the police. The fact that they had a gun pointed at your head should make him feel better about it. They were already criminals, too. Self-defense instead of cold-blooded “corrections.”

There’s still a bitter taste in his mouth anyway.

“You hold your own pretty well,” he murmurs after a while, trying to distract himself.

You grant him a small, knowing smile. “Thanks,” you say, taking his arm as the pair of you walk the rest of the way to the motel. “I had a good teacher while I was stuck in the ruins of the apocalypse.”

He hums. “Weren’t you lucky?”

Your hand tightens around the sleeve of his tailored suit.

“The luckiest.”

—

He’s going to kill her.

Teeth bared, Five starts toward her, only to stop short when Lila presses the blade harder against your throat.

“Not another step, Five,” she warns him, her grip tightening. “Or you’ll both regret it.”

“She’s not responsible for what happened. I was the one who killed them!”

“But she didn’t stop you, did she?”

Five struggles to control his rage. The knife is sharp and black underneath your jaw, ready to draw blood at a moment’s notice.

You inhale shallowly. “Lila,” you rasp.

“Don’t speak.”

“Look,” Five forces out as evenly as he can, catching the woman’s attention again. He can’t take his eyes off that goddamn knife. Five can almost feel the edge cutting into his own skin. “You wanna blame someone, blame the Handler, alright? She faked the kill order.”

“Bullshit! I saw the kill order. AJ Carmichael ordered it, and you and [Y/n] carried it out.”

“Lila, listen to what I’m telling you, alright? The Handler gave us the kill order. She came on the job, which she’d never done before.” He unclenches his fists with unwilling, trembling fingers. His mind is reeling. “You’re Commission. You know execs never go on jobs, but that day in London, she was there. Ask yourself why –”

“Stop trying to muddy the waters.”

Five swallows, pulse racing. He rips his eyes away from your neck to gauge Lila’s expression. Doubt is beginning to bleed into it, and he manages to keep his tone level.

Focus on completing the picture. No sudden movements.

“Think about it, Lila. It all makes sense.”

Lila’s grip on the knife relaxes by the smallest amount. She hesitates for a moment before speaking. “What?”

“She never cared about your parents. She was looking for you.”

What little is left of her anger melts off Lila’s face. For the first time, the girl looks completely vulnerable. And it’s not a farce.

“Why?” she whispers.

Come on …

“‘Cause you’re one of us.”

Lila whips her head around when Diego cuts through the silence, holding you even more tightly against herself. Five’s gaze snaps back to the knife again and he swears internally.

Dammit, Diego, you better have a plan!

“The Handler stole you, Lila. Just like our asshole father took all of us,” his brother explains carefully.

“No. It’s not the same thing.”

“You’re right. Because he didn’t have our parents murdered.” Diego approaches her, staying low to the ground, hands outstretched. “Listen to me, Lila. You were born October 1, 1989, the same day as all of us.”

The rest of his siblings close in on Lila, slowly, warily. The movement sends her into a panic, and she cuts a little into your neck. You let out half of a gasp and swallow the rest of it, but it’s enough.

Five sees red.

“Get your fucking hands off her!”

“STAY BACK!”

“Five! Back off!” Diego shouts. Chest heaving and blood roaring in his ears, Five looks at him and then at your sweaty, frozen face – and against every fiber of his being, he listens and backs off, glaring venomously as his brother then turns to Lila again. “Lila? Lila, stop. Let her go.”

She turns her head from side to side, knuckles white as she keeps the knife against your throat. “No,” she chokes. “Diego, you don’t understand. They killed my parents. They took my life away from me.”

Five seethes. “For the last time, it was nothing personal –"

“And it was wrong. I know.” Diego’s eyes flit to Five’s, silently reprimanding. “You want to make them pay for what they did. But killing [Y/n]’s not gonna bring your parents back. You know that.”

“It’s not about bringing them back.”

He nods once, softly. “You’re right. It’s about justice. Honoring their memory.” Diego’s voice is gentle. “Trust me, Lila, I get it. I lost someone to the Commission too. She wasn’t family, but she was my friend, and I cared about her. She wasn’t supposed to die. She didn’t deserve to die. But she did.”

As Diego continues talking, Five keeps his guard up on the other side, watching and waiting for a contraction of a muscle, a single forewarning of violence. If another drop of your blood stains that blade, shit, he’ll kill the woman with his own two hands, Diego’s feelings be damned.

Tightening his jaw, Five shifts on his feet as he looks at you. You stare back with calm eyes – just like that night in the alley, but this time, with no signal for him to make a move.

Goddammit, they should’ve gotten you to safety by now!

“… Just think about whether taking another life would honor their memory. [Y/n] deserves a chance to start over, live a peaceful life with people she cares about. And so do you.”

Lila’s trembling. Yet, she refuses to budge. “If it weren’t for her and Five,” she whispers, “I wouldn’t need that second chance. I would have been all alone if Mum hadn’t found me that night.”

“But there’s a reason she found you. She’s using you, Lila. The Handler.”

“You’re wrong. She raised me.” Lila pauses, then asserts, “She loves me.”

“She’s dangerous,” Diego emphasizes. “And you’re scared of what she’ll do with all that new power. That’s why you dragged me to the Commission. Because I know what it’s like to love dangerous people.”

—

“Oh, my.” The Handler puts a hand on his shoulder, hovering behind him. “One hundred and forty-three kills on the simulation? That’s a new record. Very, very good, Five.”

Five bristles at her closeness, but he doesn’t move away, not wanting to give her the satisfaction of unnerving him. “Thanks,” he says tersely.

“Tell me, Five. From what I’ve seen during your training, you’d be a lot more efficient in the field if you were a one-man team. Working alone is when you work best.”

“I’m partnering up with [Y/n].”

“And you’ve filled out the paperwork and everything, I know. I know. But I implore you to think about it logically,” the Handler tells him, leading him down the hallway. “[Y/n] has highly marked assessments, but frankly, they’re nowhere near your level.” She raises her eyebrows at him and blows out a stream of smoke. “Forgive me for assuming, but perhaps this is less about a partnership that would benefit the Commission and more about your personal … relationship.”

Five smiles thinly at her. “With all due respect, we’ve worked together for years. Almost forty years, in fact. I can assure you that our partnership will deliver more than satisfactory results.”

The woman just hums serenely, eyebrows still raised and cigarette holder between her lips as he faces her. Behind her, he sees you approaching.

“Excuse me,” he says politely.

As he sidesteps the Handler to meet you halfway, your shared employer calls out to him, voice ringing through the sparse crowd of Commission drones. “You’re a dangerous man, Five,” she drawls, “and this is a dangerous job. If you want to protect someone, we won’t stop you, but don’t let it endanger this opportunity we’ve so generously provided. To the both of you.”

“Duly noted,” Five replies over his shoulder, walking away with you. He can hear the Handler’s heels click against the floor as she goes on her way as well.

“She’s suspicious about us partnering up, isn’t she?” you ask him lowly.

He frowns. “I would be too if I were her. But we have to stay together.”

“Well.” You reach up to adjust his hat, tilting it slightly. “In any case, I’m pulling my own weight in the field. Just like in the apocalypse. No one-sided protection.”

“[Y/n], this is different from the apocalypse. We’re not dealing with food shortages or bad weather – we’re dealing with people.”

“All the more reason for you to trust me.” Despite your usual controlled tone and mien, he sees the way that your eyes glint. “I’m kinda dangerous myself, Five. Especially for the people I love, and I’ve been in love with you for years.”

Five sighs.

“You’re so sappy, you know that?”

(Nevertheless, he finds himself mumbling those four words, just loud enough for only you to hear.)

—

“Difference is …” Diego glances around at their siblings, then looks down, “they love me back.”

“Shut up.”

“The only thing she loves is power. Now, the minute she can’t use you, she will turn on you, and deep down, I know you know that.”

She tilts the knife against your neck. Five sucks in a breath, his heart pounding.

“You don’t know me, Diego.” Lila’s voice is hoarse.

Diego steps closer. He lifts a hand to cover hers over the knife.

“Don’t I?” he whispers. “I know that we can be your family. If you just let us.”

Lila’s eyes are glossy with unshed tears. Hesitantly, she turns her head to look around at his family, and in that moment, Five has a cautious inkling that Diego’s words actually got through to her. She doesn’t resist when Diego pulls her hand gently.

When she releases you, he almost feels weak with relief.

Five murmurs your name as you stagger over to him; you grab his arms, and he raises his hands to hold your face between them.

“Shit,” he breathes, “[Y/n] –”

“I’m okay,” he hears you say, but his ears are ringing and your skin is cold and shit, your neck – delicately, Five tilts your head back, and you attempt to brush his hands away. “Five, it’s – it’s just a scratch …”

His fingers brush against a wetness on your skin. You wince, almost imperceptibly. He draws back to look at his hand, and when he sees the blood on his fingertips, your blood, the wave of relief crashing onto him abruptly morphs back into rage.

Before you can pull him back, Five lunges at Lila.

Gunshots echo throughout the barn.

—

You’re smiling.

—

He wakes up, gasping for breath.

“Oh, good! You’re still alive,” the Handler says, looming over him. Her lipstick is bright red through the dizzying blurs. “Lucky you. You got to see how this all played out.”

Grappling for air, Five tries to speak – tries to give one last word, to finally tell the damned snake to fuck off as he stares into the barrel of her automatic. But it hurts to breathe and he can’t. Fuck, it hurts. It hurts. His tongue feels like lead and his throat is closed up. All he can do is look.

But before she can pull the trigger, he hears gunfire.

Bullets rend flesh that isn’t his. Five’s eyes widen, stunned; the Handler gasps sharply. She turns. More gunfire.

She falls.

Shit, that could only mean.… Five struggles to lift his head, almost blacking out from the pain as the gunman approaches, crushing straw underfoot. A shadow falls over him.

The Swede silently tilts his gun down at his face, and he realizes: they are both the last ones. Everyone else is dead. The Swede’s brothers. The Handler. Lila. His siblings. You.

This is the end.

(This doesn’t have to be the end.)

… Five blinks, numb.

(You’re the one who got us stuck here.)

Unless …

(Seconds. Not decades.)

Seconds.

His lungs burn. Hope blooms in his chest.

(C’mon, Five.)

Concentrate. Hands clenching sluggishly, Five focuses on gaining back the feeling in them. Seconds, not decades. A familiar, electric buzz thrums through his bones, warm, crackling with energy. His hands begin to glow. Blue envelops them like they had so many times before.

It happens slowly, time reversing itself like molasses oozing back into a jar. The Swede lowers his arm and retreats. Bodies begin to rise. Five feels himself getting pushed up, and his feet touch the ground; he presses forward, running, refusing to look back. The sharp pains recede to a singular ache.

Seconds.

Seconds.

He breaks through behind the barn door with a gasp. Air fills his chest, full and crisp.

Immediately, Five looks back at you and everyone else, standing and breathing, and pats himself just to make sure.

Holy shit.

Spotting movement outside, Five leaps at the Handler just as she walks in, seizing her weapon and turning it on her. His finger curls at the trigger. She raises her hands in surrender, lips pursed.

Got you, you son of a bitch.

“It’s true, isn’t it? What Five said,” he hears Lila ask. He doesn’t dare look away from her mother, meeting her poisonous glare with an equally cold one. “Answer me! Is it true?”

The Handler takes in a breath. “Well –”

Before she can finish her sentence, blood sprays out from her chest. She collapses. Dead.

The Swede. Five stares at her body, gun lowering. There’s a pregnant pause, void of any air – and then in his periphery, Lila shoots forward.

Luther charges after her. “The case!”

“No!”

Diego tackles him to the ground. Lila disappears in a flash of blue.

One dead, one missing. Neither of which are you or his siblings. There might be hope for them yet. Rolling his shoulders, Five turns his attention to the rogue assassin, cocking his gun and pointing it at him. The Swede reciprocates.

Nobody utters a word, for fear that it may be their last. But as Five feels the weight of the automatic in his arms, he wonders, suddenly, just how much he has in common with this man. A forgotten humanity. The death of their families. The force of a person with nothing to lose.

Except in the Swede’s case, he has no chance of gaining back what he had lost.

This is the end.

Five takes his finger off the trigger, then after a brief hesitation, lets go of the gun.

“Enough,” he says.

Nothing happens at first. The only sign that the man heard him is how he looks away from Five, surveying the rest of the barn’s occupants.

Five returns his gaze firmly, muscles tense, when he meets it again. The Swede regards him for another moment, then finally speaks.

“Inte mer.”

He drops his weapon. No more killing.

—

After Vanya helps the kid and calms him down, she goes with him and Sissy to help them pack up. Everyone else exits the barn as well to rest up and say their goodbyes before leaving, save for Diego, who talks to Herb and Dot with you and Five before joining the rest of the group at the house.

As soon as everything seems like it’s on track, Five brings you straight to the bathroom before you can protest.

“Five, it’s just a scratch.”

“That’s what you said last time.”

In a familiar turn of events, you’re sitting on the edge of the bathtub, sulking as he cleans the rest of the dried blood from your neck. Five scowls as he inspects the thin, rough scab underneath your jaw. For shit’s sake, it’s more than a ‘scratch’ – but at the very least, the cut wasn’t deep enough to cause too much bleeding.

Obviously, he’d have preferred it if you hadn’t gotten cut at all.

“She could’ve killed you.”

“I know,” you murmur. He glares at you softly, and you reach over to hold his hand. “Sorry for worrying you.”

Five scoffs, shaking his head. “Worrying me? I was damn well past worrying when she –” At that moment, he makes the mistake of seeing the guilt in your eyes, and he sighs. “What the hell were you thinking?”

You shrug quietly as he opens a large Band-Aid. “That I had to do something to keep you safe.”

“At your expense?”

Your miniscule smile changes into a grimace for a split second when he sticks the bandage on, but it returns immediately after. “You would’ve done the same thing, Five.”

All he can retort with is a displeased huff.

Silently, you stand up and turn him around, urging him to sit down this time as you pluck another hand towel from the stack that Vanya had given the two of you. Five sits still, mouth shut and eyes watching, as you start cleaning his face. Your expression is tender. A familiar feeling wells up inside of him.

Suddenly, you chuckle.

“What?”

“It’s just – if I didn’t know any better,” you say, scrubbing at a particularly grimy spot on his cheek, “I’d think that you were a schoolboy that just got into a fight and lost.”

He rolls his eyes. “Well, good thing that you do know better, because I obviously would’ve won.”

“Obviously.” Your eyes glint, like they have so many times before.

—

“How bad does it hurt?”

Your hand is soft in his as he glances at his wrist, propped up on a stack of books, then into the small fire burning a few feet away. “Not that much,” he answers. “Thanks for splinting it.”

“Thanks for talking me through it.” You breathe in, head on his shoulder, testing the words on your tongue before you continue. “I was worried. I’m glad it’s feeling better.”

A wrist sprain is nothing to write home about, figuratively speaking. It’s more of an inconvenience than an actual concern; Five figures that the injury will heal in a week, a week and a half at the most. Frankly, he’s more concerned about how much longer it’ll take to complete daily tasks in the meantime.

… You, on the other hand – well, he wonders if you’ve ever gotten anything more than a few cuts and scrapes growing up. The closest he had ever seen you get to panicking was after he fell today, and you’ve been wandering around with him for years.

In a strange way, Five thinks, he was glad for it. He is glad for you. Glad for your presence, your level head. He is glad for the way you hold his hand and talk to him during the day and after dark. And he is glad, secretly, that you want to protect him just like he wants to protect you.

“I love you.”

The words slip out, rough and unbidden.

Five holds his breath when they echo in his ears. You stop tapping your fingers over his skin. Perhaps that’s a bad thing. It was not a mistake, of course, and he isn’t going to take it back, but if that wasn’t what you were saying this whole time – shit. He lets go of your hand, his throat scratchy and strangely closed up.

But then – your fingertips brush his face. He swallows.

“I love you too.”

In Celebration of Fanfiction Author Appreciation Day, A Master list of all my fics:

Remember, if you like amy of these, feel free to leave some kudos or comments. If you wanna yell at me, it's your blood pressure. I'm just having fun because I own none of this stuff.

"He Sleeps with the Fishes: The Hoffa Job" (ongoing)

My current WIP and the fourth part in "Partners in Time." This features the assassination of famously MIA corrupt Teamster Union President Jimmy Hoffa. Look him up if you've never heard of him. He's something of an urban legend. On this assignment, our heroes venture to 1970s Detroit in order to "dissappear" Mr. Hoffa. Only problem? He's also being pursued by the Italian mob in the form of a couple of queer assassins, a mismatched pair of FBI agents, Hoffa's jilted lover, and somehow a sea monster? This features an established couple in Five/Lila. This fic also has some choice 70s music embedded in it. CW for violence, drug use, explosions, plane crashes, tentacles, car chases, a whole lot of exposition on the mechanics of time travel, and Five being forced to flirt.

"The London Job" (Complete)

This here is my baby and the third in my long series. It features the emotional fallout of Five and Lila finding out the true murderer of Lila's parents. It takes place on an assignment that takes our heroes to 1967 London, where Lila has been led to believe she will find her very much alive birth parents. Too bad nothing the Handler has ever told her seems to be the truth. This does feature Five/Lila but isn't explicit, does address Five being Ace/demi and also depicts a relationship between an actual 58 year-old and a woman in her 30s, so please calm down. It also features Lila's whole extended family. It's got some choice AJ Carmichael scenes if you're into that fish dude. CW for language, violence, some suicidal ideation, some racism, and a graphic surgical procedure. Great if you like hurt/comfort, some slow burn (but not that slow), and heavy angst.

"Dead by X-mas: The Santa-con Job" (Complete)

This is the second in the "Partner's in Time" series and is a holiday themed one-shot. It is an assignment of Five and Lila's that takes place during Christmas time and features the assassination of Jolly Ole Saint Nick (not really). Features drunken shenanigans, strippers, baseball bats, Lila being brought up Jewish, and Mariah Carey. CW for some misogyny and violence. Great if you want something light and ridiculous.

"The Best of the Best" (Complete)

This here is the first in my long series, "Partners in Time." It's an AU in which the premise is: what if Five had to have a partner at the Commission, and what if that partner was none other than Lila Pitts? This fic is pure platonic temporal assassin chaos, featuring such unbelievable things as murder, mayhem, nazis, werewolves, and friendship. It's great if you're looking for some Five & Lila feels. It's also a story that features old Five, as does the series as it stands. This fic expands upon the Commission lore as well as features such things as Five being Ace, Lila being bi, her upbringing by the Handler, Five's PTSD, Lila's powers, Five's relationship with Delores, Lila's and Five's commonalities, and their ever present mental health issues. CW for implied rape/molestation, lots of swearing, violence, animal torture, torture in general, child experimentation, and lots of arguing.

"New Timeline, New Me" (Complete)

The first fic I ever wrote outside of a creative writing class, and the first thing I've ever published on ao3. This story is my explanation for the fact that the actor who plays Five, Aiden Gallagher, obviously has aged over the course of the series. It's also my interpretation of some of Victor's thoughts and feelings just before he comes out as trans to his family. Great if you love all the Brellies and some siblings feels.

Oh sis if y'all have read the comics, that's so canon

Confession: “Carmichael FUCKED five. That happened in the comics for sure at least and I stand by it”
