Summary
Set on the day of Homelander's birthday in S3E2 ("The Only Man in the Sky"), Annie goes to bed dreading what his onstage meltdown might mean for the future of The Seven, Vought, and even herself as the new co-captain. But instead of waking up to the inevitable media circus the next day, she finds herself waking up on the same day all over again. Then again, and again, and again. Soon enough Annie realizes that all her clever maneuvers and attempts to escape, or break this time-loop are inconsequential.
And then, her one bold and reckless decision ends up dragging another person into the awareness of this cycle: Homelander.

Summary
Annie January makes it big into The Seven as Starlight. A chance encounter with a stranger ignites a rom-com she never saw coming. Between navigating romance, personal life, and the relentless pressures of being one of Vought’s prized brands, Annie’s plate is overflowing. And looming over it all is Homelander, the megalomaniac team captain, a predator she’s determined to avoid. What Annie doesn’t know is the man she fears most is also the one she’s in love with. Meanwhile, Homelander struggles with his own inner conflicts, balancing the fractures of his double life.
(A complete rewrite of the story of Vought and The Seven, but with no Billy Butcher or his boys in this AU. Told through the unexpected love story of our favorite Starlander 🫶 Some events are directly inspired from the show.)

Summary
“Thought I’d start my little supe purge with you,” Butcher muttered to Annie, syringe glinting as he raised it above her. “Starting small, innit?”
Then a voice cut clean through the moment.
“Interrupting something?”
Annie’s heart dropped and Butcher turned.
It was him.
Homelander, calm as a corpse. He'd let himself in.
And suddenly, for Annie, death by virus didn’t feel like the worst-case scenario anymore.
