i don’t want main characters who have great destinies. those characters are really annoying bc they never seem to know what they’re doing

i want characters who see the end of the world and decide to do something about it bc they can

i want characters who murder people, rip out their eyeballs for their “investment” bleeding out on a table and plan ahead and break into an impenetrable fortress just for the money

i want main characters who decide that they cannot be better then any of the Fae and become so much worse

i want main characters who make themselves a force to be reckoned with without a power that makes them special, without a prophecy that guarantees their survival throughout the book

i want main characters who stumble into a new magical world and dream of being the chosen one, only to realise that they need to make themselves into someone worth noticing

i want main characters who swear the gods that everyone fears aren’t real, only to find them one day and then declares war against the all powerful beings who have watched and destroyed all that they love

in case you were wondering, I want Five Hargreeves, Kaz Brekker, Jude Greenbriar and Luz Noceda

the other two… i’ll leave you to decide who they are

@crestlecovehq

Got a lot of friends inside my brain Head and heart, past and present, harmony and pain Everybody's telling me to run Find the sequence, pull the trigger, self-sabotage for fun I thought when I was older, I would bе on top I thought the jealousy would drop But it nevеr stops

quick facts.

FULL NAME: dilara narin yılmaz NICKNAMES: lara, lala, d SPECIES: fae AGE: 27 ( 268 ) BIRTHDAY: july 17th, 1756 GENDER & PRONOUNS: demigirl & she/they SEXUAL ORIENTATION: pansexual; polyamourous FAMILY: sylvia† — late wife; tbd — half-sibling ( wannted connection ) RELATIONSHIPS STATUS: widowed FACECLAIM: aslıhan malbora HAIR: brunette, always done up in some kind of way EYES: chocolate brown DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTIC: tattoo of a lily under her left breast TRAITS: outgoing, excitable, mercurial, reckless, passionate, guarded OCCUPATION: owner of b&b ( wild flowers ) TIME IN TOWN: a few years INSPIRATION: caroline forbes, blair waldorf, allison hargreeves, lena luthor, nellie crain, buffy summers

quick bio.

dilara from the moment she could first remember was cautioned by her mother of the trials and tribulations of humans. she would go on at length about it she didn't really understand why her mother was so cautious of the place but it became more clear after her mother left her and her father in avalon. she'd been projecting. it made dilara's father dote on her. while she was young she loved it, but as she got older she started to realize the darker sides of it. her father became overbearing and eventually she had to follow in her mother's footsteps and leave for the human realm to get away.

she'd always been such a daddy's girl that being on her own for the first time was exhilarating. she loved the freedom. she sort of played around with humans not taking anything to seriously. that was when she met a vampire. she'd heard tell but another immortal species! it was so thrilling.

they were drawn to each other. while she knew that letting sylvia drink her blood was dangerous, she kind of liked that. they were inseparable. they spent decades together and dilara thought the rest of her days would be happy ones. but something terrible came to pass. her father.

he found dilara in the human world and although dilara was able to escape, sylvia wasn't. she thought her father might've passed as well, but she discovered that wasn't true. ever since she's been trying to track down her mother to see if she can help her and her latest clue has brought her to this town. although after a while she was fairly certain her mother wasn't here, she discovered a reason she might come back. another child. so she's settled down as best she could but she hasn't processed anything yet and she's still living in just a little bit of fear.

undeveloped connections.

give! her! love! she's a sweety, let her be your friend

people who've stayed at her b&b would be lovely

hook ups anyone??

i would love a very serious person to counter her bubbliness

Fic rec! TUA in an S1 AU where The Handler catches wind of Hotel Oblivion and starts digging.

Summary: When Reginald Hargreeves loses a third child, a third star, he disbands the Academy to focus on other things. What those are, his children don't know, but they do know it won't bode well for them. They're not the saviors of the world anymore. They're pawns.

Comments: The way Reginald Hargreeves mind works in this fic series is perfect and disturbing, and here we see the impact on the Brellies who have survived to sixteen and are now locked into the Academy. It's not pretty, so be careful reading, but enjoy Grace's fae-like navigating of her code, Diego taking up coding to help her, Luther bucking his dad's methods but not his vision, Allison going to EXTREME methods to retain body autonomy, and Klaus being the smart one.

Unlucky ✤ An Umbrella Academy Fanfiction

Staring: Autumn Hargreeves, Brianna Hargreeves, Cherie Hargreeves, Destiny Hargreeves, Emma Hargreeves, Fae Hargreeves, Gail Hargreeves, Hadley Hargreeves, Isabel Hargreeves, Jaden Hargreeves, Kacey Hargreeves, Leslie Hargreeves, Macey Arden

On the 12th hour of the first day of October 2000, 13 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible. He got twelve.

Labelled A through a L, the Initials spent their early years training, mentored by their older siblings. And by the time the original Umbrella Academy dissolved, the new one was ready to take their place. For years, the new Academy thrived, until they too fell apart.

And then Reginald died, and the seventeen siblings reunited for the funeral. A lifetime of resentment, rivalries, and abandonment issues would be a lot for any family, let alone a family of superheroes whose long lost brother has just appeared for the first time in sixteen years. And that’s when Macey Arden, the thirteenth miracle, shows up.

The Hargreeves as fairies?

I LOVE THIS QUESTION so I’ve been putting it of until I could do some real research.

Luther: Giant. Specifically hill giant. Goes into hibernation for a long time (on the moon.) Messes everything up when he returns. Very big. Grows a plant. Has destroyed a statue in his life time.

Diego: Dragon. Very strong and majestic and beautiful. Will kill you if given the chance, but actually soft. Bad enemy, good friend. 

Allison: Siren. Kills people with her voice. Falls in love with mortal men who are beneath them (according to some folklore.)

Klaus:  This was the hardest one to choose. I was thinking maybe unicorn or changeling or elf, but none of these fit him very well. I was thinking maybe Brownie/ Boggart to, where he started off as a brownie, but after Dave transformed into a boggart. But that doesn’t fit either because boggarts are driven by anger. Klaus is never angry… Finally! I realized it’d been staring at me in the face the whole time: BANSHEE. Irish spirit. Associated with death, especially for family members (Ben and Dave.) They’re seen crying for the death of (important) people (Dave.) 

Five: Changeling. True child is taken away and replaced with someone very old and mischievous. Eat differently from regular children. Speaks in vague riddles that the rest of the family don’t understand (aka math.)

Ben: I was going to make Ben some sort of monster, but honestly? He’s a unicorn. Known for their healing qualities (helping Klaus, and even when dead helping Diego and the rest of his family.) They’re also thought to have been hunted down in some mythologies and killed for their horns and such, aka Ben being “hunted” for his powers by Hargreeves, in a way. Also everyone’s favorite and non-problematic mythical creature!

Vanya: One of the most popular mythical creatures (characters) but no one really knows the true meaning of the elf. Are elves just santa’s little helpers, or are they beautiful beings in the forest calling all the shots? Are they here the play fun tricks on humans? Or are they here to offer wisdom and support? We can’t decide, and just like we can’t really decide on Vanya. I think elves are probably just a mix of all those things, just like Vanya. Powerful, but not all knowing. Independent, not malicious.

[in-tua-deep]

I want to hear the au!!! Fae stuff is my JAM

OKAY OKAY OKAY so it goes like this

The Handler is fae, she’s fae fae. One of the most fae members of the fae you will ever meet. No one knows her True Name, and she’s just ‘the Handler’ and she likes to collect oddities. And so when she learns that children all over the world are being born without that pesky nine month pregnancy?

Oh, she has to have one

and let’s say that fae don’t have children the same way that humans do, so really it’s nothing at all to obtain a squishy round faced infant of her very own for a single purpose. A fae made child, because there are rules about taking from humans, and one of the rules is to leave something equal to what you take. A child for a child. 

A changeling.

So she wraps up her new bundle of joy dismissively, because fae children aren’t special. Not to her at least. She could get a fae child for her collection any day of the week! No, she wants one of the neat little miracle babies. So she gives the little baby to a minion and tells them to swap the baby with one of the mothers giving birth all around the world at that very moment 

(but surely between learning about it and forming her plan and obtaining the fae child to switch, she would have missed her window of opportunity, right? You would think, but time between the fae and mortal realms is such a tricky thing)

so the minion goes and finds a mother who is alone and screaming. She’s panting and covered in sweat and in a bad way, and there’s a tiny little baby wailing, cord cut and wrapped in the mother’s jacket. And the mother has her head thrown back and is panting through the afterbirth and it’s the perfect opportunity to switch them - 

and then something happens. Something happens that makes the minion leave very quickly, without a human baby in their arms. Without a fae baby in their arms. There are other creatures in the world besides the fae, after all. Forgotten creatures who were perhaps, in their time, hailed as fertility deities, or protectors of childbirth. Patrons. People often don’t believe in them anymore, but they do their jobs where they are able

(There’s a reason changelings are usually only swapped after all that mess and nonsense is done with, switched in their cradles. But the Handler was impatient, and wanted to be sure no one else got there before her)

The mother is half delirious with pain, and let’s be real information about things like pregnancy are atrocious. She assumes that the afterbirth was a Whole Second Baby when she finally manages to get herself together and just sort of assumes she cut the second cord in a daze and picks up this second naked baby who is also crying and strips off her shirt to wrap him as well and places both babies next to one another as she breathes and tries to figure out her next step

and honestly most babies look the same when they first come out. Squishy and red and like tiny little aliens. She doesn’t think anything of it. They both had wisps of dark hair plastered to their little heads (in Luther’s case, this would change into a bright blond but the hair children are born with often don’t stay anyway)

So the woman calls 911 and gets an ambulance and stutters out an explanation about how she’s just had two babies in an alley and she wasn’t even pregnant and she doesn’t know what to do and -

and then she’s in a hospital with her two little baby boys wrapped up and given a clean bill of health and she’s still reeling when a billionaire comes waltzing into her room and offers to buy the babies from her

and look. she knows she isn’t in a good place at the moment. She wouldn’t be able to take care of one unexpected child, let alone two. And this man is wealthy, and if she gets the money then she can go back to school, and clearly he has the resources to take care of these kids

so she signs on the dotted line and the man in the monocle departs with both children and that is that

and maybe the Handler would have just killed her minion and tried again, swapped Luther out in his cradle within the manor. But Reginald is smart and suspicious and knows far more than he probably should

(maybe he has fae blood as well. maybe he’s the human counterpart of a changeling, who managed to escape the fae realm. maybe he’s got fae in his bloodline, somewhere way far back. maybe he knew someone faeblooded. but any way you slice it, reginald knows just this side of two much)

the manor is warded. none can enter without invitation.

(there’s a reason why none of the umbrella academy went missing. why there were no break in attempts. nothing. even humans cannot penetrate the fortress of wards without an invitation.)

the children are safe. for now. 

and maybe the Handler growls (because there’s a deal uncompleted, a child given with nothing taken in return, and it rankles) but hey there are a lot of other children lurking out there that Reginald didn’t get his hands on. And if they’re discarded, or abandoned, or if she waits and bides her time to step out and greet a toddler who unthinkingly offers her their true name well, she only needs one for her collection of oddities. 

(or maybe she doesn’t. maybe she needs the whole set. maybe she’s the reason Reginald Hargreeves only gets his hands on 7 children, because the others vanished without a trace. there’s more than one way to skin a cat, there’s more than one way to steal a child without a changeling. but changelings are traditional and the Handler couldn’t resist using at least one)

and maybe the Handler does try - the invitation clause is a tricky one to get around but with the right minion who owes her a favor and send them in as a prospective nanny - 

Reginald catches the nanny about to lead all the children off to have a ‘picnic in the park’ and fires her on the spot. He’s already dealing with number Seven killing some, so it’s the best choice for him to remove any outsiders from the equation entirely

enter: Grace

and number Five is just a child. But even as a toddler, he knows he’s different. 

None of the others have to tell the truth. Lies don’t burn like embers in their throats, they can just hurl falsehoods around like it’s easy. Five knows he stares the first time number Four lies to a nanny about something broken.

None of the others are bound to their word. The first time one of them breaks a promise, tells on him when they said they wouldn’t, forgets something they said they would do, Five is boggled. How can they forget? How can they break their bond? 

Even though Five hasn’t been in the fae realm since the day he was born, he knows the rules. Printed on his bones, etched into the marrow.

Don’t tell anyone your True Name.

Don’t lie.

Don’t break your word.

Repay your debts.

Iron burns. 

and a handful of others, scorched into his soul. None of the others know these unspoken rules, and they don’t seem like the sort of things he should be bothering Reginald with. So he doesn’t.

The others start getting their powers, and Five thinks: what are my powers?

Parting the fabric of the world was an accident. Reginald writes it down as ‘spatial jumping’ and he knows a lot so Five doesn’t correct him.

He’s not teleporting, not really. He simply slips between the fabric of this world and the next and then pops back out into the moral realm in a different place. Easy. 

(He still doesn’t walk into the fae realm, not yet.)

and this would be fine, except this is not normal for even the fae. Fae aren’t supposed to walk between the worlds. They’re supposed to walk on one, or the other, never between. 

(Five was always good at adapting.)

They’re still children when they’re offered names. They’re children when Five refuses, because he has a Name. No one knows his Name except him, of course, but he doesn’t want a fake name in its place. He is Five, and Five is him.

(in another world, if the Handler had kept him and pretended to love him, if she’d she’d made him love her, he might have offered his name to her freely given. but she thought him a pawn, a bargaining chip, and so this will never be that world)

They’re a little older when they debut, when they leave the safety of the manor. When Five has to kill for the first time. 

(It’s to protect his siblings, and so he does it gladly. It seems like people never notice the monsters that seem to be so interested in the Umbrella Academy. The men and women who are unnaturally beautiful, with dead eyes and deader smiles. Five protects his siblings.)

There is safety in numbers (and Reginald was so smart, stopping at seven. it’s a powerful number, and protects them more than they know) and they have each others backs

and then Five is thirteen and foolish and angry. He leaves the dining table, and even knowing that it’s not safe, he runs out the door. He’s only planning on being out for maybe an hour before going to face the music of his latest outburst.

(he’s gone for a lot longer than an hour)

He’s taken, and something isn’t right, and then he’s being deposited with surprising gentleness in front of a woman with blond hair and red lipstick who makes him want to go still and freeze. every instinct in him screams that this is a dangerous predator.

“Who are you?” Five asks, fear making his voice shake.

“Why what a silly question,” The woman says with a too sharp smile with too sharp teeth, “I’m your mother.”

She introduces herself as the Handler, and she’s old and powerful and she wants to know how he travels. She wants him to teach her, and she smiles so sweetly and offers him food and sweets.

Some instinct has Five tilting his head and asking her if the food is freely given.

The Handler throws her head back and laughs and calls him a clever boy. But she doesn’t answer his question.

Five has been a master of misdirection his entire life, he knows how to skirt around the boundary of a lie without crossing it. Knows how to walk the knife edge of truth like every other fae.

He does not take the food. He refuses to teach her. 

So he’s trapped in her castle. There are no doors and no windows to the outside world, and the castle is hers in its entirety. She moves the halls and rooms around at a whim, so that he can never get his bearings. He can’t use his powers in her home without her permission. Another fae rule. 

(She skirts around lies like a master, she makes him dizzy and disorientated. Still, he refuses to put himself in her debt. He knows he would never leave this place if he did.)

And so he stays there, and he has no good way to measure the days (not that it would help. he’s in the fae realm, time is different here) and he plans. 

The Handler comes to him every day. She brushes her hands through his hair and pinches his cheeks and plays the saccharine sweet role of doting mother. 

(“You are mine,” She tells him, eyes like fire, “I made you. I own you. All you have to do is teach me your tricks, my darling, and I will give you the world.”

The terrifying thing is, she can’t lie. She believes it.)

She gives him a room with a too soft bed and as many toys as a child could ask for. He wants to ask her if she knows how old he is, but refrains. It’s probably another tactic to humiliate him.

(Even so, there’s no one else in the castle. He sees flickers in the corners of his eyes, but the Handler’s minions report only to her. He is lonely, so very lonely. If he gets attached to a teddy bear with a pink bow that he halting dubs ‘Dolores’, then the Handler need never know, right?)

The Handler often talks about the human world in abstract terms. She also talks a lot about an event she calls ‘The End’. He asks her about it only once, and she croons at him and tells him all about the apocalypse. “Your siblings try to stop it,” She tells him gleefully just to see if she can make him cry, “They die, all of them. Isn’t that wonderful? No more humans! They were a blight on the world anyway. It will be so much more efficient without them, won’t it?”

And Five can’t let that happen. He pokes and he prods and he gets every scrap of information he can. He knows three things: 1) his siblings try to stop it and they die, 2) the apocalypse is scheduled to happen April 1st, 2019, and 3) a man with a false eye is involved. And while he gets that information, he tries to figure out a way to go home.

Every day when the Handler comes to see him, Five asks her a question. “Can I go outside?”

He justifies it a million different ways. Vitamin D and being a child and missing the sun and so on and so forth.

Every day she smiles and says, “If I let you out, Five, will you try to escape?”

And every day he stays silent, because there’s no way to answer that question honestly in a way that will get him what he needs.

Until finally, he thinks his way into a solution.

(The Fae can’t lie, but they can omit facts, can mislead and trick with the best of them.)

“If I let you out, Five, will you try to escape?” The Handler asks him

Five lets his head hang low. He squeezes Dolores to his side in a way he knows makes him look like a defeated child. “No,” He says dully, and listens to the Handler laugh in delight at the thought that she’s finally broken him.

I won’t try to escape. Five thinks to himself, the thought hot in the back of his throat, I’ll succeed.

So the Handler lets him out, plans to take him and show him some of the realm, and Five smiles brilliantly and he’s not in her castle. He’s not in her home. He can do what he wishes. So he falls forward, sees the Handler’s face twist as she shouts, and he laughs as he falls through the between and, for the first time, punches through the other side.

He falls into the courtyard of the manor, and looks up, and there’s a whole bunch of adults in front of him. But if he squints, he can see the faces of the children they were. They’re his siblings.

“Five?” One of them - Vanya? - steps forward, and Five can’t help but take a step back, quick and frightened as his mind races a mile a minute. Dolores is in his hands still and a comfort as he squeezes her against his ribs and scans the various faces. One two three four five faces. There’s one missing. Ben, where is Ben?

“How long was I gone?” Five asks, only a little bit hysterically thanks. He surely couldn’t be gone long enough for his siblings to be adults what the fuck. Okay yeah, Five himself hadn’t been able to track the days or anything but - he wasn’t an adult. He looked the same. He’d thought it had maybe been a few months or - or maybe years at most and he know time is screwy in the fae realm but this is ridiculous -

“Seventeen years.” Vanya tells him, face soft and open and vulnerable and Five can’t help it.

He breaks. 

And maybe it’s the shock of your presumed dead brother who is thirteen showing up in the courtyard with clothes just that side of too nice and a teddy bear who was always the strongest who is now crying but everything is pretty much derailed. They all bundle Five inside and sit him down and ask him essentially what the fuck.

And what Five tells them shocks them. Because he didn’t run away, he’d never run away.

He’d been taken. 

He leaves out the parts about the Handler being his mother (because quite frankly he still wasn’t prepared to handle that thanks) but he tells them in halting words about the fae. He’s lucky that Reginald knew something, because Pogo ends up backing him up and getting everyone to believe what’s coming out of his mouth. 

He tells them about the castle with no doors, about the food he could not eat, about the sharp eyed woman who laughed as she told him how his siblings would die. 

“Don’t you think she could have just - lied?” Luther asks, and Five gives him a look like he’s an idiot.

“Of course not,” Five tells him, “We can’t lie.”

“We?” Diego cuts in, knife catching the light and Five realizes that he forgot to include the most important detail of all. 

So he explains in halting words. Hadn’t they wondered why Five never ever lied?

(“I thought it was because you were an arrogant bastard who thought you could take whatever punishment good old dad could dish out.” Klaus admits freely, and gets a few sheepish nods from the others in agreement.)

Hadn’t they wondered about Five’s inability to touch iron?

(“Wait so that’s not an allergy?” Allison interjects and well, it sort of is like an allergy so Five can’t exactly say it’s not?)

“What happened to the original Five then?” Diego asks abrasively, because he’s always been the one to pick a fight. Five’s eyes slide over to Luther, because the Handler liked to talk a lot, and everyone notices.

“What?” Luther demands, a little bit defensively.

“There’s not - There isn’t an original Five.” Five confesses, looking at his shoes, “I was supposed to be swapped for a human baby so the Handler could, uh, have one for her collection or something. But something went wrong, and I was left behind, and they thought we were twins or something. So when Reginald followed the trail of the babies he found… both of us.”

The family considers the fact that Five had looked at Luther.

“Holy shit they wanted to take Luther?” Klaus demands, flabbergasted. Luther looks a tiny bit offended at the incredulity actually.

“They can have him.” Diego mutters, only to get swatted by Allison for the comment. 

and that’s how it goes. Instead of the Commission, you have the Handler and her army of obedient creatures, all ones that she’s managed to steal the Names of and force to do her bidding. 

(There’s only way way to escape something like that. Manage to change enough that you can shed your old name, your old life, like a skin. Become someone new, with a new name. It’s incredibly hard to do.)

(There’s a woman at the counter of a donut shop who has worked there for years. She loves birdwatching and she is breathtakingly kind. She thinks of herself as unextraordinary, but she manages to inspire a man who goes by Hazel to change. To change to a point where, when the Handler comes and threatens what he loves, he sheds his skin and becomes someone new for her. She saved him in every way, she freed him, and against all the odds she loves him. That’s something worth changing for.)

You have a traumatized Five who has been trapped in a castle alone except for his insane captor for what is probably closer to fifty years than twenty since time is such a fun and twisty concept. The Handler is frightfully good at twisting you up inside and Five has to actively try and untwist his own thoughts as well as try and save the world

I feel like the Hargreeves take Five’s non-humanness surprisingly in stride because honestly this shit might as well happen their lives are already so goddamn weird. Allison bends reality. Ben had tentacle monsters in his stomach. Klaus can see dead people. Yeah, this really isn’t the weirdest thing they’ve seen.

Not sure how it goes in the end because in this universe the Handler is definitely the Big Bad and something way more concrete to rally behind than the nebulous idea of a possible apocalypse so not sure if Vanya ends up treading the same path??

look this was just a weird brain wiggle that has a lot of weird things and i am not an expert in folklore and mythology thank you very much

(though admittedly, neither is Five. Now he knows some of what the Handler can do, he knows a little more about his own abilities - it’s not just jumps anymore. His arsenal is about to get a bit expanded)

Five thought he was human his entire life. He went by weird rules, he knew he was different, but the idea that he wasn’t even human probably didn’t really cross his mind.

Everything is different now. 

Everything.

CHARACTER HISTORY [TRIGGER WARNING FOR RELIGION, INFIDELITY, GASLIGHTING, CULT ]

Cade, born Ezra Morrison, was born in a small town whose found themselves in acquaintance with all under the roof of the Gilded Stairwell Church. In society’s wavering morals, the community found itself woven together for protection and prosperity with the Morrison family as their guiding hand. Their name was as much as an important verse as those in the pages bound in their hands. The church’s message and mission spread beyond the gates of their haven, speaking out against androids and returning to life as it was in order to ensure enlightenment and purity in trying times through televised service. 

The church, however, has skewed places where it tucks away its faith with the hopes of bright smiles keeping anyone from looking away from above. Teachings of celibacy and chastity were at the height of their values, alongside ensuring natural order against the evolution of mankind and technology. Loyalty was to be upheld between father and son, husband and wife, and neighbor and neighbor. Ezra and his father, however, always had a less than ideal relationship because he had wrapped his youngest heir in a thin foil of gold, and Ezra did whatever he could to scrape it away. 

Ezra was the product of an affair and he’d been forced into the care of his father when she left the church. It was the only agreement they could come to, and so one of his family jewels was no more than polished glass. Cade was constantly shut out, and as a result, acted out by defying his father’s teachings. He used the smile he knew how to curl so well to his advantage. He broke the morality of so many of his father’s followers and proved that the only higher power they really believed in was the one that arched their back to the sky above. 

His pattern, however, didn’t stop when his father slept with Barbara Carter. The news broke out when both Ezra and Barbara’s daughter, Mary, found out their secret. They were given leverage as a means of keeping their secret safe until the news broke out despite their silence, leaving both families to face the consequences. The church’s PR stepped in immediately but other scandals came to light, leaving Ezra and Mary to question their beliefs. Ezra’s mother’s death and how it could have been avoided were laid out for the family to decipher, the excommunication of members and the truth of what lead to their exile, and more of his father’s selfish leadership.

Ezra and Mary left the church as a fight against another forced vow of silence, but their exile was used an example. They had to navigate the world on their own, but they found freedom. They gave into impulse and craving, reveling in thrill. They found good pain and bad pain, and more importantly, the ability to find recovery on their own. To separate themselves from who they were under the thumb of the church, Ezra renamed himself as Cade Dyer and Mary as Delilah Barlowe. Together, they found themselves in New York living in satiation in what their family deemed sin. 

Leaving at eighteen, they spent a lot of their time in sex work as a means of financial survival. If there was anything Cade knew how to do with ease, it was to create a fake sense of faith for someone else’s sake. He’d let someone else be god for a night, and in the morning, he’d find someone else to pray to in order to give him a haven for just a little while. 

Cade eventually grew tired of this, and with growing connections and black mail, was able to open a nightclub with Delilah at twenty-one. It was a hole in the wall that barely made rent, and only managed to stay afloat due to Cade’s careful finances. The club, however, had more purpose than cheap liquor and flickering lights. It had become a safe house, and under Cade and Delilah’s hospitality, it grew into more. They offered shelter and safety to patrons who came for more than a drink, and they helped with the function of the club with that as payment. It was a quiet arrangement, one that took care, but it soon grew and many were willing to partake. Cade and Delilah’s helping hand had gained a reputation, and their home for everyone who was an outsider became a community.

The House of Dioscuri, named after the gods who watched over travelers, expanded within three years, moving from a small club to overtaking the block it sat on by the time they were twenty-four. Cade and Delilah instilled a different kind of hope in not patrons, but members of their movement against being casted aside. They supported a lifestyle that made it easy to breathe, one where adrenaline was the first communion into their movement. They supported a softer sense of anarchy where self actualization wasn’t found through enlightenment by a higher power, but surrendering to yourself instead.

 Using the tools they were told to shy away from, their movement was given a platform and it didn’t take long for Cade’s face to be recognized as the missing piece to the Gilded Stairwell’s picture perfect family. They gained more recognition, slowly gaining a larger following that put them head to head with his father’s mega church across the country. 

PRESENT DAY [TRIGGER WARNING FOR GASLIGHTING, CULT]

There’s no denying that the House of Dioscuri is a cult, but Cade and Delilah will never agree. They believe they’ve created a movement even if access to the night club is exclusive and requires invitation. Through their outreach, they’ve acquired not only a multitude of followers but even investors in their club because of the discretion it provides. The night club itself has become a melting pot of affiliations where people look past their vows for a chance to escape, or a hum of music that sits overhead for privacy–– unless you pay the right price. House of Dioscuri offers membership through simple invitation, but not everyone is required to join once they enter. They can return upon a plus one to an existing member, or if its leaders find interest, they will continue to reach out until they grow bored

Cade and Delilah televise the teachings of their movement and the lifestyle they lead. They are reminiscent of a modern day Tammy Faye Bakker, except its guidance aligned with an ever evolving world. You can catch Cade at the heart of the city, never alone whether it be with those involved with House of Dioscuri as members or investors. 

Even if the House of Dioscuri is a lifestyle and there is no vow taken that binds members like a crime organization, there is an emotional tie that is to sever. The lifestyle has dangers and risks that are hard to keep under control without the support and resources of the group, making it hard to maintain on your own. You need the Dioscuri, but it’s been said that the Dioscuri also need you. 

HEADCANONS

House of Dioscuri is similar to that of the Iceberg Lounge from The Batman. It has different levels of access for those loyal to the needs of the community whether it be through service or financial aid. With the right price, though, you can find your way to the club inside the club–– from the cult, to its sponsors and their pockets. 

On the outside, House of Dioscuri is an exclusive and high end club that requires invitation to attend.

[friendofhayley]

This one’s a little late because I’ve just started work again this month! Thank you again to all the fandom content creatures for giving us an escape. Here are the best fics I read in August and they’re all bangers. This rec includes 13 fics from the One Direction, Teen Wolf, and Umbrella Academy fandoms. The starred ones are fics I would drop in front of your door if I was your cat.

Larry (One Direction)

1. Naked Attraction by reader_chic_2 | reality tv au - Louis is basically a pixie dream guy - rock star Harry - true love - 12k

Louis Tomlinson was the only gay and unfortunate staff member chosen to step in for one of the six possible partners when someone dropped out. He hated working there, and he definitely didn't want to agree, but it was too good of an offer to be turned down. Nothing would come out of it, surely, and they even agreed to keep his identity a secret.

That all changed when famous singer Harry Styles walked out. Louis had no idea who he was, and Harry liked that about him.

2. thick alpha (series) by @eeveelou | a/b/o - Louis just wants to take care of his man and that includes kink hijinks - emotional hurt/comfort - chubby kink - 3+ parts

Louis loves Harry's body from the first moment he sees him. It takes Harry a little convincing to see what Louis sees.

3. *still feel the same around you* by @gaycousinlarry | this gave me cavities!! - out of order - girl direction - older Larry - 13k

Twenty-five years is a long time to fall in love with someone, to learn all the ways a person can fit into one's heart. It’s also an awful long time to lie to one of the most important people in your life.

Sterek (Teen Wolf)

4. Who Can Take the Sunshine (series) by Anonymous | fae Stiles - dad Derek - this is just so pure and can just take you out of any bad mood! - see how magic works - 12+ parts

It all starts when Derek and his five year old daughter meet Fairy Stiles at the market.

5. *Blood is (Not) Thicker Than Water* by Anxiety_Baker02 | tw: abusive extended family - BAMF Stiles - pining Derek - this WILL get you worked up - 78k

Stiles hasn’t seen his extended family in years- mostly because they’re assholes. His cousins bully him relentlessly, and his aunts and uncles aren’t much better. So when he hears that they’re coming out for a family reunion, he’s understandably upset. He knows the next week is going to be hell, and it’s made worse when a new pack shows up, vowing revenge on their pack.

6. Be still, my love (series) by tugela54 | werewolves are known and discriminated against - omega Stiles - pining - misunderstandings - 3 parts

When Stiles’ boss unexpectedly goes into rut, he offers himself to the lycan, knowing all too well how utterly terrifying it can be.

Will his gamble pay off, or ruin everything…?

Klave (The Umbrella Academy)

7. Like Real People Do (series) by ObliqueOptimism | yeah so Klaus self-harms himself to deafness - family bonding - good siblings communicate, who knew? - fluff and angst - 6+ parts

Vanya got a call from the hospital, Klaus had harmed himself while in rehab. She decided then and there to be there for him. Together they heal, grow, become the family they'd never been, and change the future in immeasurable ways.

8. And When I Look In My Window, So Many Different People To Be by ObliqueOptimism | witch Klaus - BAMF Klaus still has daddy issues - bless this author - the more ghosts you know - 24k

If you were to go looking for Klaus, you wouldn't look to the alleys where drugs are bought, or to a rave where you could lose yourself in dance, no. No, you would look to his garden full of protective herbs, to his bedroom at three in the morning where he tends to make magic amulets. Klaus grew into his power, both as a witch, and as the Séance.

9. Tombstones In Their Eyes by @siriuspiggyback | disabled Klaus - despite themselves this family can care! - hurt/comfort - angst with a happy ending - 12k

His siblings don't pay a lot of attention to Klaus, don't notice the dog tags and new tattoos, but even the Hargreeves have to notice a missing limb.

10. *Choirs Threaten in Voices I Only Feel* by @veteranklaus | hey veteranklaus? I’d die for you - blind Klaus - I love how this fic changes Harold Jenkins - Ben as a seeing eye ghost? perfection! - 61k

The last time Klaus saw his siblings was at Allison and Patrick's wedding. A lot had changed since then; including the not-so-accidental, irreversible loss of his sight.

There's no time to tell them that, though. Not with the return of their long-presumed-dead brother and the impending apocalypse. Plus, it doesn't matter. He's got Ben as a good seeing-eye ghost.

11. *Numbers (series)* by @veteranklaus | this series legit made me disocciate for a few days especially since I just finished The Accident by Wiesel - the Holocaust is a trigger warning - very dark - the writing is literally award-winning, like the research done? the empathy paid to the characters? god tier!! I’ve written several research papers on post/during-holocaust times and i just want to applaud you for the work you’ve done in writing this - 2+ parts

The briefcase transports Klaus into a time to fall in love with a bookshop owner and photography enthusiast with soft amber eyes and a yellow star sewn into all of his clothes. And later, Klaus will stand next to that same man behind a fence, and he'll hold his hands up to a camera and pray to a merciless god that his siblings open a history book and find him.

12. *At the Edge of the Universe* by @veteranklaus | this is turning into a veteranklaus rec post but i don’t care - this is the life Klaus and Dave deserved!!! - the gays are really winning today y’all - cottagecore but make it the 1970s - 58k+

There is a knock at the door. With a heavy sigh, Klaus untangles himself from the mess of Dave's limbs with a mutter of 'I've got it'. They rarely get visitors out here, their closest neighbour being about three miles away, and Klaus didn't even hear a car or see any headlights outside.

He opens his door, expecting to see old Mrs Richards asking for one of the dog treats they always keep for the occasions her dog runs off. He does not, however, expect to see his siblings - all of them, standing outside his door. Well, Five is being held up by Diego, and Vanya is being carried by Luther, but they are all there, on his doorstep, on this evening in 1970.

13. Counting Down The Days To Go by @siriuspiggyback | sick Klaus - sibling bonding - Klaus goes to therapy - there are some lines that just kick the breath out of you - 24k 

It started off small. Easy to explain away. That was his downfall, in the end. By the time they diagnosed him, it was too late; the cancer had gotten a tight hold on his body.

Klaus wouldn't tell his siblings, not yet, no matter how much Ben begged him. He wanted to feel as normal as he could, for as long as he could.
