Just designed some Homelander stickers. I have to wait for them to be shipped, but when I get them, if anyone wants one let me know. I know it isn't perfect, but I still am proud!
Hi! I'm late to the party, but you still doing the fanfic trope meme? How about Butchlander for #9 -- amnesia? (no pressure tho)
It’s never too late for rambling runon Butchlander fic ideas! (Meme link)
Ooh this is a good one, so have two scenarios, depending on who’s saddled with amnesia. Both start out with canon-like no established relationship, so they’re on the long side
9, Butchlander, Amnesia: Homelander’s the one with amnesia
The Boys manage to wipe HL’s memory using some overpowered telepath supe (like Cate heh). He forgets so much, he can’t even remember how to use his powers, but he’s still got his superhuman defenses, so they still can’t kill him.
They take him to the Boys’ HQ and try to figure out what do with him. Billy is a little bit dismayed to see that making HL’s mind into more or less a clean slate also dramatically changes his personality. He’s unsure of himself, clinging to Billy for guidance as the person he sees as the leader of this group, and honestly not really much of a cunt. They try to plan whether he can actually help them take down Vought (they feel bad trying to find ways to kill him when he can’t even remember any of his crimes and is like an ignorant, innocent babe). At the end of the day Billy puts him in civilian clothes, baseball cap and sunglasses and takes him home as incognitoly as possible. Homelander mopes around the house, starts asking Billy what it is they’re trying to do and why they need his help, and Billy can’t believe he’s actually encouraging HL to recall how to use his powers, asking him to try to incinerate a target or lift off the floor. HL, for his part,thinks it’s preposterous that Billy thinks he can fly and shoot lasers, and can’t seem to remember how to do it.
Depending on how slow or fastburn the story goes, they end up having sex eventually and Billy’s brain breaks because it’s good, dammit, but he also sees HL’s eyes light up on orgasm. HL also eventually sees himself as missing on the news, starts asking more questions and when Billy tells him the truth gets revolted and depressed.
9, Butchlander, Amnesia: Billy’s the one with amnesia (why’d this get so long)
Billy’s TempV illness gets so bad that he’s already in hospice care, about to die, and so much of his brain has deteriorated that he’s losing motor functions, his speaking faculties, and his memory. He wakes up to find himself in a sunny room with tall ceilings and very strange decor. A man wearing a ridiculous superhero uniform approaches him, asks him how he’s feeling. Billy’s feeling fine, in fact he can vaguely recollect that he felt much worse at some point earlier, but he seems to have huge memory gaps. Even this man in front of him looks very familiar, and the name he introduces himself by elicits a strange angry feeling in him, but trying to remember who he is is like grasping at bubbles and the man is being very pleasant if a little patronizing, so maybe the anger is misplaced. Whoever he is, Homelander seems to be living in this opulently garish apartment, and for some reason has bothered to place Billy’s hospital bed near his window-wall.
Billy is physically very weak, he’s not quite sure when he’s been out of bed the last time, but his body looks wasted away, and he has to brace himself against furniture to hold himself up when he tries to walk under his own power. Homelander leaves him in his apartment, but gives him a number to call should he need anything. Billy just sits and watches TV for hours to try to piece together some of the really fragmented information in his mind. At the very least he pieces together that Homelander is probably the most important and famous superhero on the planet, but can’t figure out why he’s taken him in (he said he arranged for his cure and recovery) and can’t quite place why he keeps feeling anger rise whenever he sees him on screen, his lizard brain remembering something his higher one doesn’t. It doesn’t make any damn sense, but Billy does ask Homelander why he saved him. Homelander shrugs and says rescuing people is his job, but it seems like a deflection, and he looks amused as he says it, in an irritating way.
Homelander’s original plan was to just get his nemesis back to life, and maybe gloat a little. He put in him in his room to maintain secrecy, but maybe he shouldn’t have put his bed right where Stormfront’s was, because his mind is getting a little crosswired too. He doesn’t ask Billy for handjobs, but mentally things start to blur.
Days pass, Billy recovers physically more and more. He puts aside his strange, unprovoked ill will towards Homelander, and they eventually become physically intimate. “Were we… together before I got sick?” Billy asks, a little bewildered that he could have forgotten something like that, and Homelander smiles and nods, as if that was the real reason he saved him this whole time. He can’t keep Billy locked away forever though, and eventually Billy walks around Vought Tower. It becomes a creepy thriller because he runs into a weird kid in the hallways who seems to know him and seems very surprised to see him alive, but Homelander is there to quickly steer him away.
Billy eventually goes out into the city, old buried memories kicking in to make him find Central Park. He finds a quiet area with an inviting bench to sit on (the place seems so familiar? But Billy is tired of sorting out all his deja vus), taking in the view when a tall skinny guy walks by and seems to recognize him, and seems to be shocked that he’s alive. And when Hughie sits down and starts explaining everything, it’s like the Matrix and Memento all in one, and Billy breaks out in a cold sweat when the whole demented-sounding story does start clicking into place and he does remember about Becca’s existence.
But he decides it’s to the Boys’ advantage to pretend he doesn’t remember, because now he has incredible access to HL… just as soon as they figure out how to do him harm. He goes back and tries to pretend everything is fine, but of course it’s hard, especially when HL can hear his pulse rate and see him sweat. HL may be noticing something but he’s happier pretending everything is fine too, because at least he has the semblance of a loving relationship. Billy is basically a honeypot in this operation now.
Hi!!! Ya, I'm still alive. 😃 I'm not on here as often as I'd like because real life *grumble* *grumble* If anyone's messaged or given a shoutout and I never replied, I'm so sorry! But I'm slowly trying to catch up again (there's been so much drama in the fandom, I see). God, I've missed this place. When season 4 comes out, I'll be all over this site like flies on 💩
I do tend to disappear from time to time, so I wasn't expecting a welcome back like this. You've just made my day. Thank you so much!!! ❤️
