Listen, sometimes you just want to wallow in feelings about Klaus and Dave being very much in love. You just need a thousand words of Dave being so so in love with Klaus because you also love Klaus (and maybe also you project on him way too much). Here, take this fic that is entirely that, and very much so.

It is a really cool concept that I haven’t seen before, where Dave wrote a letter to Klaus in the future, if the time travel stuff is true and in case Dave doesn’t make it. It’s set a few days after the not-apocalypse, which is just an awful lot for our boy to have to deal with all at once!

In all the possible ways that it can be happy, it is. Maybe what I mean is that it’s sort of only the comfort side of a hurt/comfort. The fact that Dave is gone is terribly sad, but Klaus still has his love and Klaus has his family. Pure Feelings with a capital F.

“Thirdly, it means that you found your way back to your time. I’m glad. I know that your family are difficult, but for all that you complain, I know that you love them, and they love you. And God knows you deserve to be loved.”
