Happy Twenty-Third
schmelia
Summary:
It's been years since the Hargreeves siblings have spoken to one another, but on their twenty-third birthday they manage to cross paths with each other a whole lot anyway. A canon-compliant (through the first season) prequel fic in the form of a flashback episode script.
I was an assistant who worked on The Umbrella Academy S1 on the writing side. After we wrapped I took my unused pitches, wrote a spec script, and uploaded it here after the show was released. A few months later, my script was a 2019 Austin Film Festival Semifinalist in the Drama Teleplay Spec category. I hope it tides you over til next season!
