“You know how to do that, too?” she asked.
“I do now,” he admitted. “I learned.”
“... for me?”
“For you.”
Fred can't stop thinking about the swift, gentle kiss she had given him over the summer. Valerie- academically- has her hands full. She'd never been one to stray from her schedule, but with Fred following her around so often... well, she'd just have to start writing him into it.

Summary
Five and Lila never thought they would make it back from the maze of subway stations and alternative timelines. Until they do. Now they have to navigate being back in a world you never thought you'd see again, with a shared history no-one else can understand. Because how exactly do you explain to your brother that you fell in love with his wife? Or to your husband that you moved on years ago, when it was only hours for him.
A not-quite-canon story, starting with Five and Lila making it back from the subway, and weaving through the next few months telling the story of the last few years along the way.
Title from august by Taylor Swift

Summary
Five has so many questions to ask God, he’s not really sure where to begin.
He expected their death to be a nothingness, the absence of self after being unpicked from the fabric of time and space. His mind finally quieting after years of thrashing and fighting like a fish caught in a net. Discovering whether going quietly into that gentle night was not a surrender but a dissolving. In the Greek myths their father used to make them memorise, sometimes people turned into stars. He’s often wondered what kind of constellation he would be. Five little white hot coals burning in the sky, Quintus pueri. Boy, the fifth.
Klaus is God's favourite, so of course all eight of them end up in the afterlife once the Cleanse resets the world.
Cast adrift in heaven, Five is finally allowed to grieve, to contemplate the weight of the lifetimes he has lived and the things he has done. They have saved the world – but at what cost? Wandering through different versions of heaven, he plays chess and fights with God, reconciles with his family, and attempts to build a home for himself.
(An imagining of a possible future post-S4, mostly gen).

Summary
“The texts had started out small, innocent enough. Messages about family plans, invitations to family dinners, updates about Allison's divorce from Ray, Klaus' newfound sobriety. But gradually, the nature of the texts shifted. They started coming at night, when Diego was asleep.”
Before the subway, before the time jump—before they were Nancy and Jerome—Lila and Five found themselves in the start of an emotional affair.
Not a love story, but a story about love.
(Set between Season 3 and Season 4)
Prequel to my own series / Lead-in to Season 4 / Can be read as platonic or romantic.Series
