Klein normally: I can never tell anyone anything about me, I can only act in roundabout ways for their own safety and my image

Klein w/ Azik: Hi Mr. Azik it's me your beloved student Klein Moretti who is supposed to be dead, here's my current sequence in my current pathway, here are my current plans, and also I have one of Emperor Roselle's Cards of Blasphemy that any beyonder would kill just to look at if you want it

Time travel Au where Azik goes back in time. Probably a little bit after the Megose incident, but when Klein takes him to his castle and he regains some memories could also work.

The fun thing is that Azik has only half a soul, which probably makes it much easier to send him back than someone with a whole soul. Plus he'll be landing in a body that Also has half a soul.

And like maths probably a bit funky but if you take 1/2 Azik soul and add another 1/2 Azik soul. Then you should get approximately one whole Azik!

Meaning no more death amnesia cycle! He's a full blown Angel at the peak of power with a hefty dose of humanity.

And the first thing he does is start praying to Klein.

Who is low-key freaking out. That's Mr. Azik! Why is he praying to him! How did he learn Kleins honorific name!

He brings Azik up to the grey fog, stressed about lying to Mr Azik. Only for Azik to just casually greet him as Klein. Complements him on the sepherah castle. Is just himself.

Anyways it's just a comedy of Klein being confused as to Why Exactly his former professor who is a fucking Sequence 2 Angel wants to join his tarot club. He's not complaining, it really helps Mr Fool's reputation to have an Angel under him. But Why???

Meanwhile Azik just really wants to court his cat. Because while the merging of past and future Azik means he's not really at risk of losing control. It Does mean that tends to forget that he and Klein aren't together yet and thus how familiar he should act.

Chapter 3 of my aziklein(?) Fic, where the students have some important discussions, is here !

Leonard calls when Klein is just about to start digging in to the coffee shop's new seasonal special.

"Hey Klein," Leonard says. "So I'm at the museum, checking out the new exhibit. You know how they discovered some letters from the Fifth Epoch?"

"Yes?" says Klein impatiently. He skimmed briefly through the article the other day but hadn't given it much thought. Since there was no public outcry about Beyonder secrets, it wasn't likely to have any importance to him.

"Right, so," Leonard continues, and Klein hears a smile in his voice that makes him suddenly wary, "I'm reading some of the letters right now. Were you ever going to tell me about your tragic romance with your Angel of Death? I'm feeling some poetic inspiration coming on."

Klein spews out his coffee across the table. "My what?!"

Anyways I'm still absolutely feral about Azik at the end of Volume 2.

I mean I would like to point out that we have not seen Klein contact Azik since before the whole Tingen thing went down. In fact, we see Klein consciously choosing Not to contact Azik the whole time.

Meaning there's a good chance Azik still thinks Klein is Dead.

And yet when he gets a message in Klein's handwriting, the only word written on it being "Help!" He's there no more than a minute or two later. No questions asked.

He was late once.

He would not make the same mistake again.
