Summary
Klaus is never quite sure, until the moment he's getting punched in the face, whether the ghost of Ben following him around is anything more than an extremely vivid hallucination.

Summary
In the summer of 2019, Dave Katz is working for a landscaping service. One of his coworkers tells him about a medium who claims to be able to speak to the dead. When Dave makes an impulsive decision to visit the medium, he can't possibly imagine the beautiful chaos he is about to invite into his life.
Klaus is sober and struggling. Some wild stuff happened in the spring, and now he's reunited with (most of) his siblings and trying to get a handle on his power. Charging people 50 bucks for an interview with a departed loved one seems like a good way to simultaneously face his demons and earn some grocery money.
Then a kind, strong, beautiful man named Dave walks in, hoping to talk to his dead boyfriend. One thing leads to another, and Klaus might find love for the very first time! — if he doesn't stay true to character and fuck it all up before it even gets started, that is.

Take My Hand (Life Could Be Better Than This) by Shadowscast

Summary
It's 2015. Ben is dead, but he's doing his best to keep his brother alive. It's not easy, when Klaus's first priority is to stay high all the time.
In the midst of a particularly rough patch, the ghost of a soldier shows up claiming to know Klaus from the Vietnam War. Weird, right?
But as it turns out, a timely intervention by this dead soldier may just turn everything around—Klaus's relationship with his siblings, his relationship with his powers, and (does Ben even dare to hope?) his relationship with drugs.
(What is this fic about, actually? I'm going with: Klaus/Life enemies-to-lovers slowburn.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Amazing. Best characterization and fix-it I've seen in this fandom.

Summary
“Number Four. My legal name. Number Four Hargreeves.”
“Ain’t on your dog tag.”
“Well, I’m getting to that.”
Dave hangs back when the new guy tells his stories. Klaus is dangerous for him. He figures there's no harm in listening in, but then again: the others don't watch Klaus like he does.
or
(Dave falls in love, much too quickly. Klaus tries to find him, much too late. Not just another Vietnam fic. Death isn't what they think it is.)

Summary
Klaus's powers may be a bit more extensive than just seeing the dead, he's not sure what to do about that.
OR
The one where Klaus's power is not ghosts, but souls and that makes a hell of a difference.- Language:
