The events of The Boys get paused because Stan Edgar has to take Grace out to dinner. They talk long into the night about the proper handling of supes, their delightful pseudo-grandkids that would be almost perfect if it wasn't for those pesky powers, and what on earth they're going to do with their problem 'children', Billy and Homelander. By the next morning, Butcher and Homelander are engaged to be married - whether they like it or not.
#homelander would be pissed 'what the fuck? am i gonna have to go public with this? what about my numbers?'#until stan says it'll give ryan some stability and hl shuts up because all of his 'education' is that families are a married couple that#look after their kids so he can't argue that#billy pretends to be upset but secretly he's like 'haha...YES' because 1) it means he gets to be closer to homelander and vought for info#gathering reasons and 2) he's knows EXACTLY what it's going to do to homelander's numbers#when they're out together and he keeps grabbing hl's hand and dipping him for kisses#and then it turns out hl maybe likes that kind of treatment#i'm pretty sure stan and grace did have a conversation in the nicaragua flashback i'm sure it's canon that they hate each other#i have to go back and check#butchlander#arranged marriage au#the boys 2019#the boys thoughts#stan edgar#grace mallory#stangrace
