Summary
Diego is an amazing police officer, but his coworkers know almost nothing else about him. As each of them stumbles on his relationship with Klaus, they're just relieved Diego has someone looking out for him at home. And with how much happier Klaus makes Diego, none of them think to question the exact nature of their relationship.
Or: five times Diego's coworkers think he's dating Klaus.

Summary
“I finished the muffins yesterday,” says Klaus, staring into the pantry. “Well, well, well, this is a most unwelcome development. What are the chances of a time loop on a day when we’re out of muffins? Perpetually muffin-less. No more muffins until the end of time.”
Ben is reliving the day again and again. Klaus is not terribly focused on fixing it.

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.)

Summary
Two people, two meetings, two divergences. Funny how one misfired quirk can change an entire story, isn’t it?
(Or: Klaus wants waffles, or maybe pancakes, and to get to know the guy with weird purple hair that he keeps running into. Hitoshi mostly just wants to know where he is and how to get back home, but he keeps running into this guy obsessed with breakfast food.)

We Could Get Better (Because We're Not Dead Yet) by Biromantic_Nerd

Summary
Diego's brother has his arms around himself, hands securing his coat and towel around his bloody, mostly bare body in white knuckled grips, one of the guns he secured on his lap, eyes squeezed closed.
She should really take him to a hospital.
(AKA, Canon divergence where Patch and Klaus become friends after That Scene, Diego tries to be a better brother, the Hargreeves try to be a family, and the apocalypse gets a bit delayed.)
