currently debating whether to pick up my Five x shapeshifter fic or Five x Commission Agent fic... hard decisions

Relenting

pairing: sparrow!ben x reader

warnings: angst, mentions of death, sparrow!ben is an asshole as usual, some fluff if you squint

notes: haven’t posted on this blog in forever but the new teaser brought me back from the dead so here’s this

summary: the world is ending and ben thinks it’s time to enjoy what’s left of it

You swirl the glass of champagne in your hand and watch as the alcohol begins to whirl around the cup. There’s a slight breeze in the air, but it’s warm and strangely comforting despite the current circumstances. The music from inside faintly reaches your ears out on the balcony, and though you feel slightly guilty for missing out on such a momentous occasion for Luther and Sloane, you can’t bring yourself to go back inside. What’s the point? Your time on this earth is limited, dwindling with each second that passes, so why bother trying to act like it isn’t.

An unwelcome presence joins your sulking figure outside, and you don’t even bother to spare him a passing glance. You think you hate him, or at least you want to hate him, but it’s hard to despise the man who shares the face of your long lost love. Blame it on nostalgia or pathetic longing, but there’s still some small part of you that believes he could be just like the boy you knew and loved in your youth, even if he hasn’t shown it at all in the time you’ve gotten to know him.

Finally acknowledging his presence, you take a swig of your champagne before retorting, “Don’t you have to go be an asshole somewhere else?”

“You’re hilarious,” he replies in a deadpan tone, and you don’t have to look at him to see that he’s rolling his eyes in annoyance. You like how easily you get under his skin, and his sarcastic remark prompts the smallest quirk of your lips.

“Yeah?” You reiterate with a small shrug, eager to push his buttons in any way you can. “My Ben used to think so too.”

“Would you shut up about ‘your’ Ben, already? It’s pathetic,” He snaps in irritation, obviously set off by your remarks. “All you do is whine and complain about what a jerk I am instead of realizing I could help you out if you’d just help me.”

“By pretending to be your dead girlfriend? No thanks,” you scoff with a wry laugh before downing the rest of your drink. It burns your throat, but the discomfort is almost soothing in a way. It’s a type of pain you can control and inflict upon yourself out of your own volition. You haven’t been in control of anything since becoming wrapped up in all this apocalypse time travel nonsense, and you grapple for any semblance of it whenever possible.

“It’s not pretending if you technically are her,” the Sparrow insists adamantly, faltering for a moment as he adds under his breath, “albeit a more whiney and uptight version of her.”

He immediately ducks when you chuck your glass in his direction, narrowly missing his head in the process. You wish you had Diego’s precision so you could hit the desired target of his face, but the look of bewilderment on his features is good enough for now. You wordlessly turn to head back inside and rejoin the wedding festivities, because forcing yourself to act like attending wedding at the end of the world is normal is much better than spending another second out here with him, but his firm grip on your wrist halts your movements. If you really wanted to you could break free from his hold, you’re a better fighter than he is and you could easily use your abilities to overpower him, but you make no attempt to do so. The touch is familiar, comforting despite how hard you try to deny it, and you’d like to savor it even if it’s not right.

“The world is ending, and there’s no going back,” he reminds you, the gentleness of his voice almost scaring you. It’s a jarring contrast from the usual sharpness that he speaks to you with, and you’re not sure if it disgusts or comforts you. He sounds like your Ben now, and the realization prompts your breath to hitch in your throat.

“What do you want from me?” You demand with a lack of conviction, your previous confidence dwindling as you morph back into that same scared little girl who once thought she could never survive without the boy she loved.

“I want to spend whatever time I have left on this shit hole with my y/n, even though I know it’s not really her,” the Sparrow relents in defeat as he comes to terms with his fate. “Don’t you want to spend one last night with Ben?”

You remain silent, your lips held together in a firm line and your brows creased in thought as you digest his words. This man is not yours, not even close, but he belonged to another version of you in this timeline, a version that is currently buried six feet underground. This entire time you’ve done your best to fight the urge to give in to him, to let yourself play pretend with the Sparrow and act as if tragedy had never struck the Umbrella Academy. With the world coming to an end, did it really matter now if you finally relented to his pleas? Didn’t you deserve to be happy, too?

Taking your silence as rejection, Ben slowly begins to release his hold on you. However, he’s taken by surprise when you immediately throw yourself into his embrace and pull his face towards you for a kiss. He doesn’t notice the tears that streak down your cheeks or the way your hands tremble as you cup his face; he’s too busy savoring the taste of something that had been taken from his years ago.

As he wraps his arms tighter around your waist, he determines that this time around, he’s not letting go.

so five and lila being a thing is going right next to allison literally sexually assaulting luther in the box of things we are absolutely under no circumstances accepting as part of canon right

[laurrelise]

luther

diego

allison

klaus

five

ben

viktor

[mattykay]

relating to five and klaus hargreeves is growing up overly intelligent before becoming everything but when you got older

relating to five hargreeves is doing everything for those you love and still ending up with the blame

relating to klaus hargreeves is the addiction gene

relating to five hargreeves is how they only notice your anger and not your hurt

relating to klaus hargreeves is self destructive behavior that is brushed off as you being your usual self

or mbe that's js me?

[salamander-crimes]

klaus's powers were best utilized during that scene in season 1 where he talks to ghosts of the people hazel and cha-cha have killed imo

reading all the posts about tua s4 is so interesting because I am never the person to go to to like analyze whether a show/movie was good or bad but dang. you're ALL right and I am also upset

[crimsonscloud]

if i had a nickel for every time elliot page played a character who is extremely powerful, destroys a bunch of stuff (good for them), plays a string instrument, had a punk phase, was raised in isolation, has a strained (to put it lightly) relationship with their father figure(s), went looking for their biological moms only to find out something sad about them, gets a hug from their ghost brother before said brother moves on, moved as far away from their old life as possible to somewhere with a colder climate, and definitely isn't cisgender or straight, i would have two nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

[hellomagicalsouls]

it's been over month since season 4 of tua and i'm honestly still baffled and i'm still disappointed i waited so long for that. i still don't have many words but i'm still grateful for all the friends and buddies i've made (love u guys✨) i'm just honestly still confused. i don't think i'll ever rewatch it and i know that sounds dramatic but i genuinely didn't enjoy most of it. apart from klaus and claire bear and they deleted all the meaningful scenes. i was too mean about the ending of season 3 when honestly it's been my biggest saviour cause i can ignore all of season 4 for my own bullshit thoughts.

i did enjoy playing a detective though and coming up with theories.

season four of tua rest in piss you won't be missed.

bye to the siblings though. sucks you don't exist anymore (or do they?)

[feralnumberfive]

[kvetchinglyneurotic]

my review of the umbrella academy season 4 is that it's not as good as season 1 or 2 (i'm also ambivalent about 3) and there's definitely some parts i Did Not like but overall it was messy in a fun way. i had a good time

I forgot about the inscription on Ben's statue. "May the darkness within you find peace in the light." Within the allegory, they're all abuse survivors - except for Ben, who allegorically died by suicide as a teenager (killed by the monsters inside him) because what the HELL else would that inscription mean.

Bad Guy: We're holding your brother captive! Klaus: ...Which one? Diego: Klaus! Does it matter? They have one of our brothers! Klaus: It does matter because who it is depends on how much effort I want to out into saving them. Diego: ...Good point. Which of our brothers is it? Bad Guy *Confused*: It's the tiny angry one? Klaus *Laughs*: Oh that's Five. Yeah you don't have him, he has you. Diego *Also Laughing*: He's right- for once, good luck with that. Bad Guy *Even More Confused*: Wha-? *Five pops into existence covered in blood* Klaus: Ah there he is! How was your trip? *Five kills the bad guy who's staring at him in bewilderment*: It was fine thank you.

You ever think about if Jesper was drugged with parem and gets really mean during the withdrawal so he tells Wylan he wishes his father had hired better men to kill him so they wouldve finished the job and even though Wylan is trying to be strong for Jesper and insisted he wasnt going anywhere he breaks at that comment and Nina tries to comfort him saying Jesper doesnt mean it (cause she knows exactly what Jesper is going through) but Wylan tells her he isnt upset because Jesper hurt him hes upset because he knows Jesper will never forgive himself for saying it

I love my own little post-show-but-everyone-lives (yes! Sharon too!) ficverse because Agatha goes from planning on killing them off to, after a Road, trauma and bonding, spoiling the shit out of her coven.
