Basically a Coffee Shop AU It is very much an AU, it is not meant to be rigidly accurate to "The Umbrella Academy" • Five has his powers (very briefly implied, never elaborated) • He ages normally, aka not stuck in a teenage body • Reader is not aware of his powers (At least for now) This is prone to be changed The coffee shop around the corner was an odd establishment. From the selection of flowers that decorated the windows -overgrown to the point they looked akin to a small forest covered in ivy- to the strange hours that they were open. Unlike many cafes or coffee houses, their only business hours were between the times of 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. When you had first moved to the apartment complex nearby, you were certain that you would never set foot into the shop. That was, however, before you had been the last-minute replacement as editor for the new up-and-coming writer; KP Jenti. Jenti had recently become a well-known writer with his first romantic novel, "The Trouble with Strings." And you were ecstatic to discover that the publishing firm you worked for had assigned you to be his editor. Unfortunately, that also meant that you would have to become nocturnal, working nights and sleeping during daylight, to submit your edits and revisions on time. Due to the differences in time-zones, you were bound to this fate.

[Slow Brew Series 1 of 2] [Completed] Look, I didn't mean to embarrass myself the first time I walked into Brewing Grounds. Or the second. Or...every other time since. But something about the place-and the barista with the messy ponytail and the glasses that she pushes up her nose-makes me forget how to form actual sentences. Bea. Her name's Bea. She spelled mine wrong on my cup the first day (Ell-yot Hayul), and now I'm kind of obsessed. Not with her. With medium lattes. With her handwriting. With the little hearts she scribbles on my cups. Okay... maybe a little bit with her. The point is: I'm a walking disaster around her, and I'm pretty sure she knows it. And okay, maybe I started showing up every morning at exactly 7:30 just to see her. And maybe I've been reading up on how to flirt because I thought that might help (it hasn't). But honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I embarrass myself again? (Already done that.) Spill coffee on my tie? (Happened last week.) Accidentally fall in love with the barista who writes flirty notes on my coffee cups? Oh, wait...
