TUA: THE GOOD ENDING AU (s4 spoilers)

so yeah making an au giving tua a good ending also rewriting s4 also just to know this will include ocs so yeah lets discuss it

What this au will contain:

The Five and Lila thing never happened

They managed to create one working timeline

Sloane and Luther

Lila and Diego being stressed parents

Allison dealing with teen Claire

Klaus and Ben bonding

Ben and Jennifer

The Siblings are Finally at peace from any apocalypse

Another way to save the world

IDK what to do with Reginald and Abigail yet

TUA OCS

That's all I have for now at least I already have the concept for this au in the works.

[goodoldfashionedengineer]

A Klaus x Dave soulmate AU must be so strange.

Let's go with the soulmark one, for simplicity's sake. Dave, who was born without a mark and as the years go by, still doesn't have one. He thinks he is supposed to be alone, since he is attracted to man and that's something sinful in the eye's of society.

Klaus, who was born with a mark, but the mark is dark. Dead. His soulmate is already dead. What now? It's a sign for him to just go to any person who'll have him when he's an adult, since hey, he won't be able to find true love anyway, since they're dead, so it doesn't matter who he's with.

But oh wait. He sees ghosts. He sees dead people. And he is so so afraid of them when he is a child (continues to be so in his adult years thanks to their father). You want to tell him that his true love is a ghost?

Then Klaus travels to Vietnam. Dave gets a mark. And Klaus' isn't dead anymore it's so vibrant. Klaus is this mystery man who appeared out of thin air, just like Dave's mark just so suddenly appeared. (Why didn't it appear before? Is what Dave asks himself)

Klaus has he had to watch how his mark slowly turns back to black and remains that way. Forever

Awkward....Eudora/Diego, Lila/Diego

An apocalypse happens, Five takes another jump in time with his family and Lila. They end up back in the original timeline, a few days before April first but they know what not to do so that's not too much of a worry.

Except. This was before Diego's ex Eudora died.

Eudora checks in with Diego because last she heard he was looking for his brother and then didn't hear from in multiple days. Wait. Who is this lady he's with? His girlfriend? Since when? Why didn't Diego's tell her??? And why does this Lila look like she's about to murder her????

LMFAO, just thought of this and the stress Diego would have to go through. Oh would be quite sad too. But if I just ignore the emotional whiplash Diego would feel it'd be quite hilarious to see him stressing between two powerful women who are mad at him rn. Plus Lila looking at Eudora n being like, hm, well I'm better and I could probably murder her easily.

[whateverthought]

If Lila was a part of the Umbrella Academy she'd be Number 0. Because alone she has no power, which would make her the 'same' as Vanya/Viktor -since it's assumed they're numbered by perceived 'power' or 'usefulness'- but she's wildly versatile with others, so putting her out as this outliner, and setting up a Competition and Sibling Rivalry, makes sense.

[the-obsidian-academy]

Okay so this is very much a work in progress, I mostly just wanted to secure the blog name and setup while it was fresh in my mind.

Explanation below, SPOILERS FOR UMBRELLA ACADEMY SEASON 4 AHEAD!!!

When Reginald and Abigail talked about duragold and how it was "the opposite of marigold," it gave me an idea for an AU of a rival Academy made up of children that came from the duragold. Instead of heroes, they're villains. The name "Obsidian Academy" is a reference to the Hotel Obsidian from season 3, whether or not that's gonna be a relevant plot point or just an Easter egg remains to be seen including by me lmao

[maibeenot]

hey hey

what if Vampire/Hunter AU but make it TUA

the Brellies were adopted by Reggie and trained to become vampire hunters because of their super powers

(specifics under the cut)

I think Five and Luther end up becoming vampires in this. Five disappears at a young age and gets bitten then, Luther was bitten wayyy later.

Despite Luther being a vampire, he still goes out to hunt other vampires to continue Reggie’s legacy

Klaus is somehow miraculously not bitten after all these years, in fact he’s probably pals with vampires

Diego definitely still beats up vampires but not necessarily hunt. He’s just vigilante-ing the vampires that hurt people but the ones that mind their own business, he just leaves them. This isn’t really an exception though as he also beats up hunters and general criminals.

Allison is bitten after she left the academy and is just trying to live a normal life (or as normal as a celebrity can be). Her plot more has to do with her losing custody to Claire because she’s endangering her kid by literally being a vampire (or something along those lines, her story isn’t super clear in my head atm)

Klaus is mostly the same with the exception for him being friends with a Lot of vampires and is trying to cover up for them, making sure his siblings (Luther and Diego) are not going after them

Five returns to the family after years of being missing when he is found by one of the siblings, deliriously wandering the streets, starving to death.

The commission in this is more like a legion of vampires trying to kill all the hunters and Five was a part of that (because he has super powers), before running away to find his family.

Ben was likely bitten and killed by Reggie. He still wanders the world, following Klaus though

Viktor’s story also remains mostly the same with the exception of Leonard being a vampire and his motivations becoming wanting to drink Viktor’s blood for his super powers or something along those lines.

The main plot will be less of world ending stuff and probably just the mystery of Reggie’s murder (I think he’d get murdered in this) and the umbrella fam trying their best not to instantly murder each other or get the people they care about murdered by one of their siblings. Then they gotta save Viktor as well because Leonard.

As for setting, I do want something more Gothic/Victorian. Might be set in some fictional city with other supernatural elements as well.

[spaceagesparkledust]

Hear me Out hear me Out! Umbrella Academy AU where Viktor dies instead of Ben.

I gotta be honest I don't think Viktor dying would be the end of the Umbrella Academy. Ben's death tore them apart but little Viktor dying? Oh no Reggie would turn that into a cautionary tale. Viktor dies on a mission. As usual, he's far away from the danger with Reginald but runs in when things start looking grim. He just wanted to help his siblings but it winds up getting him killed instead.

Instead of being normal about this, Reggie takes the opportunity to hammer in the fact that the Umbrellas are special because of their powers. Viktor was ordinary and died for it, but you, the Umbrellas? Are above all that. Reginald stirs up some sort of perceived myth of invincibility which honestly makes everything worse for them.

The Umbrellas stay together and sort of become like the Sparrow Academy, highly egotistical. (I think Ben is deeply unsettled by Viktor's death and tries to leave but ultimately it doesn't work.)

But there is a silver lining to this: Viktor's ghost hangs around Klaus. Klaus is like ???? and Viktor's like “you can see me?” and also YOUR POWERS ARE REAL?? aND Klaus is like YEAH! I’m high as heck and i can still see you why is that. But anyway, Klaus eventually leaves the academy for....reasons and Viktor and Klaus have like a buddy adventure that’s Viktor actually experiencing the real world, even as a ghost. He eventually comes out as Viktor and dances in clubs, and fake-talks to girls, and the two of them come to an understanding. I think Viktor also tries to keep Klaus from going off the rails, its a struggle. But they become really good friends and Viktor is so so much more alive as a ghost than they ever were in the Academy. They also find out about Reginald drugging Viktor but that's another story.

Damn The Hargreeves siblings were born in 1989

Oooooo trans man Stanley having given birth in secret but maybe Reginald Hargreeves heard about it and tries to buy the baby off Stanley but Stanley seeing a good opportunity agrees only on the condition that Reginald helps with the machine maybe.

Just some angst idea tbh

[tua-dumpster]

if lila’s present in this au, what’s her fave donut?

"Why does it matter? It's not like I ever really liked donuts anyway..."

[the-wyvern-institute]

NUMBER SEVEN

Name: Alexander Ratcliffe

Aliases: Seven, The Thunderstorm

Age: 33

Birthday: October 1st, 1989

Birthplace: Moscow, Russia

Gender: Male (He/Him)

Powers: Energy Generation and Manipulation

Alex is like a living battery, with his cells constantly generating great amounts of pure energy. His powers are similar to those of Viktor Hargreeves, except that Alex's doesn't rely on sound, him being his own source of power. He's able to manipulate the energy he generates to achieve a large variety of effects including flight, telekinesis, creating force-fields, electrokinesis, cryokinesis, atmokinesis (which is where his superhero name comes from), etc. His powers are practically always working, so he must use them every now and then in order to release the built up energy inside of him, otherwise he might experience severe pain and his powers may become volatile.

Because of their strenght and them being most times linked to his emotions, Alex's powers can be very unstable and they've been since he was a kid, for this very reason his father made him take pills that would diminish his powers to make them more manageable, hiding Alex's true potential from him.

Personality:

He's known for being a smart guy, he can be intuitive, empathetic and even sweet but because of his job he normally shows himself as serious and strong, physically and mentally, in order to conceal some of the scars from his past growing up kinda like the back-up/secret weapon of the Institute for the most difficult missions. Because of his autism he can be pretty sensitive to certain stimuli, it also makes him focus more on details but he knows how to use them to get the bigger picture, which comes in handy in his job as a detective. He's more of an introvert with not many friends beyond his family, who he loves and cares for very much despite the many conflicts they might have.

Physical Appearance:

Faceclaim: Cody Kearsley

me pleasantly writing the umbrella academy au fanfiction, pleasantly ignoring season 4

[nightmaresart]

"We're just a bunch of weirdos, And Sebastian, he's an honorary weirdo,"

Oooh I did say i had the urge to make an umbrella academy au for this group of losers. So here we are! The group has the powers while Sebastian is just a regular dude, he's just the older brother and helps this group by guiding them and giving them that parental advice they desperately need.

But let me talk you through their powers!

Ryan Seacrest, he has both umbrakinesis and photokinesis, he needs to find a balance with these powers or else he can drive the world into eternal darkness or eternal daylight.

Bo Cadieux, they have the ability to heal each and every wound on their body within seconds, they can also heal other peoples wounds. However this comes with the side affect that they literally take the wound from the person and get it inflicted on their own body instead.

Keira Jones, she has the ability to control the weather, it can be a bit tricky when her emotions are intertwined with it, she tries her best to stay calm so she doesn't accidentally cause a storm or a tornado to rip through the city. She's learning alot about herself with this ability, her autism isn't helping either.

Brooke Atkinson, her ability is basically a sonic scream alongside temporary flight, the result of this is the nickname Banshee. She doesn't necessarily like it, but she isn't gonna complain about it. She talks a bit more quiet because of it, she doesn't want to accidentally hurt someone or destroy a building with her voice.

Kai Williams, his power is Shape-shifting, he's not only able to shape shift into other people but also into animals. He's tricky to pin down when he's really trying to avoid being seen or discovered, but he doesn't tend to use his power as much, he likes himself just fine.

Elysia Sinclair, she has the ability to create portals to any place in the world she wants, this can be useful for travel but also to get away from situations she really doesn't want to be in at the moment. They do require her to concentrate, so in stressful situations it's tricky.

Sebastian Atkinson, he's the older brother of Brooke, an ex soldier who now spends his time as a bartender. He still takes care of the group and always has his door open for them should they need anything or just simply need to crash on the couch. He'll never turn them away.

Magnolia Academy Crest

I finally figured out how to make a crest for the Magnolia Academy in the same style as the Umbrella and Sparrow ones! Far from perfect but I’m pretty proud.

Here’s what each symbol means:

Magnolia Branch: The Academy name

Knot: Family loyalty

Apple: Generosity, happiness, peace and salvation

Bear: Healing, personal health, strength, and bravery. Also a nod to Grace’s “mama bear” attitude toward her kids

The motto, "florere quocumque tempore," means "bloom at any time"

Alive Ben, siblings reaction to his vaguely controlling, possessive behavior towards Klaus.

Au where Ben is alive again and continues to stay with Klaus even though the others don't understand why. They don't understand that's where Ben wants to be, is glad to be now that he has a physical body. That he's spent years only able to watch Klaus. Klaus is his in a way no one will ever understand. Even Klaus might not really get that either. Well. It's Ben's business anyways.

Having spent 13 years at Klaus's side as a ghost its not strange that Ben would continue to stay at his side even after coming back to life. Really. They others get it. They need time, Ben will realize he can part from Klaus and become apart of the family again! Klaus will realize he can't hog Ben to himself and continue to expect Ben to be there. They can both separate and be apart of the family. Together but separately from each other.

But it's not happening. Not really.

They don't seclude themselves exactly. They spend time with the family. But, never apart from each other. They come down from their room together. Yes, their room. Because they share a room now and neither have said anything about it and when any of the siblings had tried to ask about it they just seemed confused. Like they're the weird ones for even questioning it. But that's besides the main issue. It's almost like they don't realize that they can be apart from each other. That if one leaves the room that doesn't mean the other has to follow.

Another thing is how Ben acts now. More opinionated, which is good! Except he says things without thinking and is constantly looking at Klaus because he knows it will make Klaus laugh.(Which explains so much about Klaus's behavior of inappropriately laughing in situations actually.) Not caring if he's offending another of the siblings. He insults Klaus just as much if not more than he does anyone so that's just how he is now probably. They let it slide. Though they realize that Ben is less likely to let it slide if someone makes a comment on Klaus. Even if he was the one who started it. It's different he said, while looking at them with an offended anger in his eyes.

They notice other things too. Like Ben's mother hen behavior that made them laugh in the beginning. Some saying how finally someone is here to rein in Klaus. But it becomes a bit much and soon makes the others a bit uncomfortable watching Ben constantly comment on what Klaus is doing at any given moment. To how he sits, talks or just what to do. Klaus doesn't seem to give it any thought or mind. Complaining to them in theatrics, asking them if they see what he deals with now?? But he complies most of the time, the other times Ben is able to make him or sighs like he didn't really expect Klaus to do what he wanted but it was a old routine they did. So they don't say anything about it. Yet.

Ben knows he's weirding out his siblings with how he acts and doesn't leave Klaus alone but he honestly can't bring himself to care much. He's finally real, can finally actually be with Klaus and not just attached to him. Klaus is finally his, properly. He can wack Klaus on the head, turn him in the direction he wants Klaus to be, give him orange juice for breakfast and Klaus can only comply or fight Ben on it. And Ben knows Klaus isn't going to do that. It's satisfying and calming. More so that Klaus allows him to do all this. He doesn't care if his siblings think he's a freak, this is much more important to Ben. Of course he's happy to be with his whole family again. But it's better with Klaus there right beside him, he doesn't want to think about learning on how to be apart from Klaus. The thought makes the horrors stirr and him nauseous. It's better this way. The rest can either get used to it or leave them alone. He finally has Klaus in his grasp and he's not letting go.

Klaus is probably well aware of Ben's feelings and actions that are possessive but he honestly doesn't care. Too used to it and Ben is his bestfriend so he doesn't see a problem with it. Makes him feel secure even, he was afraid Ben would ditch him the moment others could perceive him so all this is actually pretty reassuring. Healthy? No. But when has he ever cared for healthy?

The siblings coming to the realization that it isn't Klaus who's hogging Ben. It's Ben borderline keeping Klaus to himself and not letting his hold on Klaus slip an inch.

More scenes include:

Ben dragging Klaus around with him wherever and whenever he wants to go. A siblings telling Ben he can go on his own or, better yet they could join him instead of Klaus! Ben staring at them for a moment and then saying he can wait until Klaus wants to go with him but they're welcome to come when it happens.

The siblings talking over things they've seen and if they should be worried?

One of them eventually commenting on it and saying how Klaus IS his own person you know that right Ben? And Ben immediately saying no he's not.

Klaus not helping at all because he just goes along with it all so nonchalantly even as the others are increasingly worried for him.

The Umbrella Academy AU where every time Reginald loses a kid he just adopts another one.
