Today I did something a little different for my Almost Daily Drawing Countdown to The Umbrella Academy Season Two...

As some (maybe all?) of you may know, I also write fan fiction over on AO3 (my username is TwistedIllusions) but I’ve been kind of stuck in a rut for it. It’s been nearly a month since I’ve touched my current WIP (not that I don’t want to! Just haven’t had the motivation) SO today I decided to draw a snapshot from it for my countdown. Allow me to introduce you to Klaus Hargreeves with his daughter Riley from my stories:

What I Never Knew I Always Wanted

AND

I Promised That I Would Never Leave You

I think this turned out super cute. So I had to share! Sorry it’s kind of random haha but if you like it, be sure to check out my stories as well! If you do, I would love to hear what you think!! :)

Enjoy!

Finally Updated My One-Shot Series

I finally uploaded the second one shot to my “Aftermath” series....Honestly, I picked and picked at this one for way too long, but I blame my brain because that’s what it does best.

Anyway, if you’re interested in reading, here is a link:

**My Self Rec Post!**

Hey guys! This is my post recommending my own stories that I feel you should check out! I don’t have a ton, so I’m just going to list all of them.. lol

I do have other stories I’m planning on writing as well, so if any of these peak your interest, definitely keep checking back for more!

**AS A WARNING: Most of my fics are pretty angsty/whumpy (that’s why I included the gif above haha)...I’ll add TW’s per story as a recommend though! So don’t worry!

Please, I hope you’ll enjoy! :)

My Multi-Chapters:

1- I’m Not Okay

Rated T - 16 chapters - 43,966 words - COMPLETE.

Summary- They stopped the apocalypse. Unfortunately for Klaus, that didn’t mean things would change for the better. Even though he felt he put forth his best efforts, his family evidently did not. When withdrawal symptoms bare down hard on Klaus, his family doesn’t seem to notice. Or, they simply don’t care. When time goes on and his symptoms only seem to get worse, Klaus is suddenly faced with the harsh realization that maybe this is more than just withdrawals...maybe he’s not okay.

TW: Major Character Death/Vomiting/Withdrawal/Terminal Illness/Cancer

NOTES: This was the first story I wrote for this fandom and the first story I had written in 10 years. It’s a little rusty, but overall I am extremely proud of this! (Warning though, it is pretty sad.) Hopefully all of the tender family bonding moments help offset all of the sadness!

2- The Only Hope For Me Is You (Sequel/Alternative Timeline to I’m Not Okay)

Rated M - 20 Chapters - 104,404 words - **UPDATE** NOW COMPLETE

Summary- What if Dave never died in Klaus's arms? What if instead, he convinced Klaus to quit taking drugs while still in 1968; 'Causing him to start his withdrawals while he was still in Vietnam. If Klaus was too sick to fight, he and Dave would have never made it to the front lines. Meaning they discovered Klaus's cancer sooner—Was it soon enough to save his life?

TW: Major Character Death/Cancer/Vomiting/Withdrawal

NOTES: This story was my way to solve the ending in its predecessor. Just know that with this one—Not everything is always as it seems! You’ll know what I mean when you read the final chapter! Still sad, but adding Dave into the mix adds a lot of opportunity for tender moments, too! I personally prefer this one over I’m Not Okay. This one can be read as a stand alone piece, but it is technically a sequel!

————

3- What I Never Knew I Always Wanted

Rating: T - 13/17 Chapters - 89,373 words - INCOMPLETE (See notes!)

Summary: Klaus always knew he was a fuck up; a low life good for absolutely nothing drug addict. He’d made plenty of mistakes in his life, and he accepted it. But when his casual Tuesday fling winds up pregnant and doesn’t want the baby, Klaus can’t just abandon it...can he?

Klaus’s entire perspective on life changes when that sweet, innocent bundle of joy gets placed into his hands. In that moment Klaus knew he needed to change. He needed to be a better person, he needed to be there wholly for his daughter.

His past mistakes needed to be just that: Mistakes from his past; his present and future now solely revolved around keeping his precious baby girl happy, healthy and safe.

TW: Withdrawal/Ghosts/Mentions of Drug and Alcohol abuse/ Mentions of Past Physical Abuse/ Mentions of attempted Suicide

NOTES: This is a daddy!Klaus fic! My first attempt at major fluffy-ness (and I feel that I shockingly succeeded with this! It’s a miracle! Lol) but don’t let the adorable baby subject matter throw you, it is my story, there’s still plenty of angst! 13 of 17 chapters have been posted, but I’ve already written 14 chapters and I have them all entirely planned out already! I write every day guys, and I post every week, so you’ll never have to worry about me not completing a story. If I publish it, it’s getting finished. I promise!!

**This is my personal favorite story of mine I’ve written!**

I also have decided that this story will be part of a series with additional one shots that look into special little moments in their lives and there will be a SEQUEL for this one as well! :)

My One Shots:

1- Wore My Heart Out On A Chain Around My Neck (And Now It’s Missing)

Rated: T - 4,476 words - COMPLETE

Summary: Klaus would hold onto Dave’s dog tags; clutch them firmly within his palms and run his fingertips over the cool stainless steel memorabilia, cherishing the sensation of Dave’s name carved within the insignia against his skin. This was all that he had left of him; his only tether to Dave left in this world—his most treasured possession.

Or, Dave’s dog tags break, and so does Klaus.

TW: PTSD/Brief description of past drug and alcohol abuse/ Underlying health problem/Hinted Major Character Death

NOTES: This is my first installment for my Bad Things Happen Bingo card. Prompt: Most Treasured Possession Destroyed. This one I really went for it you guys, I’m extremely proud of how it turned out. There’s an unexpected twist to make this prompt all the more heart wrenching! I hope you’ll enjoy it!

2- Their Secondhand Smoke

Rated: T - 5,821 words - COMPLETE

Summary: Had he been in his right mind perhaps he would have realized his mistake, recognized the fact that the absolute worst thing to do when faced with a grease fire is to throw water on it, but unfortunately his brain was muddled by an abundance of drugs.

Instantly the flames expanded, reaching higher towards the rafters as it engulfed the entire kitchen in fire.

TW: Heavy drug use/Vague OR referenced sexual actions/Being trapped

NOTES: This is my second installment for my Bad Things Happen Bingo card. Prompt: Trapped in a burning building. This one is a bit of a scary subject matter as you could imagine guys! I tried to delve into the fear aspect and also somehow squeeze some tender stuff in.

**I plan on having a blackout card for my bingo! So if you like these, definitely keep checking back on AO3!
