"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them, and that is eternity."
-Edvard Munch

(Five Hargreeves x OC) 


Number Eight. The Angel.
Seraphina Hargreeves had always been rather quiet. She never quite seemed to be 'all there.' Always staring off, seemingly lost in her thoughts; plagued by her own psyche. 
She only ever seemed mostly there at Five's side, his presence appearing to pull her back and ground her to reality.

When he left, disappearing without a trace, the girl seemed to curl up in on herself, isolating herself from her family and the outside world, a husk of who she once was. 
Resigned to the house she had been raised in, the dauntingly high ceilings and empty halls haunted the timeless fractal endlessly as days bled into years

Then, on the morning of March 21, 2019, Sir Reginald Hargreeves was found dead.


"I have too many ghosts here... but.. I don't seem to have enough ghosts anywhere else.
What would I be without the ghosts? 
The opposite of a haunting is something very lonely."

"So she's playing real life problems. It's not like we've never done that." "Not at eight years old!"

So who the hell is this girl? And what's her connection to Number Five?

"Y/N..." he breathed out. "I know," I nodded. But I didn't. I had no idea what he wanted to say. And I honestly didn't really care, the only thought occupying my head being the desperate need to feel his lips against mine again. ~ •°★ * ★°• ~ On the 1st of October 1989 43 women gave birth despite waking up that day without being with child. This peculiar occurrence caught the attention of an older eccentric man, Mr. Hargreeves, who went and adopted as much of those children as he could with the vision of making them into heros. The kind that might one day save the world. And then a lot of fucked up shit happened. You know when you're doing something you know will inevitably backfire, it's probably the best idea to come up with a plan B at least. I was my father's plan B. Not that it worked, he really should've came up with plan C... narcissistic idiot. !!! xfemreader !!! (TW: violence, blood, sexual themes, substance abuse, underage smoking/drinking)
