Summary
The first time Homelander met William “Billy” J. Butcher wasn’t the romantic spy thriller the media thinks it is. It’s not what his now-fiancé thinks either.
At his superhero debut, Homelander sees an opportunity to secure an advantage. So he forges a secret deal, gaining a confidante in the world of espionage.
Nothing hurts more than trying your absolute best and still not being good enough.
It’s inevitable that Homelander develops an unhealthy attachment to the only man who stands unafraid of him—who shaped his rise from the beginning, like a vicious watchdog at his back. Unlike everyone else, the older British man has a vested interest in seeing John succeed as The Homelander, for reasons of his own.
Only you shone like the brightest candle to light my way when everyone else wanted to drag me into the mud. Only you stayed true.
“So, William, you tell me.” Homelander reached out to wipe the blood from his beloved’s face, red fingertips tracing William’s split lip as he murmured, “After all these years… how could I not want you?”
(A Fix-It AU where S5 Butcher injects himself with V1 and gains the ability to rewind time—but some things resist being fixed.)
