Summary
Ambushed on a PR trip to Vought-American, Billy Butcher is accosted by an omniscient voice calling itself the SYSTEM. As its Host, he’s tasked to fulfill the dying wish of each soul he transmigrates into. Fight fate. Only then will he be permitted to return home.
The catch? He’ll be pitted against each Task World’s “virtuous hero.” Somehow he will have to win his enemy over—or it’s Billy’s death.
Whilst Billy’s digesting the information, the SYSTEM must’ve read his mind because it quickly creates one more ironclad rule.【No, you cannot kill that person—or your soul’s forfeit.】
Billy sneers. “You expect me to know who that cunt would be?”
【Oh, you’ll know. You are destined to be natural nemeses in every world.】
In the end, Homelander’s embraced Billy. “Don’t you see how perfect you are by my side…?” The deep love wrapped in paranoid light has rolled into a vast ocean, seemingly swallowing everything. Rubbing the tip of his nose against Billy’s cheek, he laughs in a low voice. “One word, William. Just one word from you, and we can be together.”
(AKA Billy’s on a literal Enemies-to-Lovers Fix-It mission spanning seven parallel universes.)

Summary
When the whole world sees Billy jacked up on V-24, CEO Ashley Barrett defies expectations and makes a strategic business decision: reform the English ex-CIA operative/ leader of a terrorist cell into the new model superhero of America and make him co-captain of The Seven. Ryan is over the moon while Homelander—John—is less than enthused by the development.
Until he realizes he’s developed a…fixation on William fucking Butcher, of all Supes. They were perfect as nemeses; now they were untouchable as gods.
Together, they were America's Power Couple.
And Billy was John’s perfect partner.

Summary
It was undeniable that there was a new and upcoming threat in Hell, rivaling some of the realm’s most ancient fiends in ruthlessness despite his pedigree. Prince Stolas arranged to meet the hitdemon, ready to confer upon him a title. Their first meeting didn't go exactly according to plan.
Blitzø didn't think he'd catch a royal demon's interest in that manner, but as an assassin who's got several centuries under his belt, he might be able to roll with it.
(A sort of What-If AU, inspired by demon mythology, canon, and some other things like the Helluva Boss Instagram accounts.)

Summary
Let it not be said that Shen Yuan didn’t know how to be an accomplished—arguably better—writer than Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky! A middle-aged author in his hubris, he’d unknowingly triggered his fate and had his consciousness whisked away into an unfathomable mystical world that he would later learn to be based on Proud Immortal Demon Way and his very own work-in-progress. When given the opportunity to customize his character’s stats and to design his one remaining Customizable Skill Slot, as a veteran reader of transmigration stories and their tropes, Shen Yuan demanded, “Grant me the protagonist’s halo of course!”
The SYSTEM was silent all but for a minute.【Understood. Unique Skill "PROTAGONIST'S HALO" activated. Esteemed Host, you share the Unique Skill "PROTAGONIST'S HALO" with one other.】
“Who?”
【This world’s Luo Binghe. From the original novel series.】
“...Hold on, I need some time to process this.”
(Little did Shen Yuan know that this world’s Luo Binghe is the same sadistic “Bing gē” from the released Extra short story. It was also too bad that Shen Yuan, in his mortal form, resembled Shen Qingqiu by a good thirty-to-forty percent.)

Summary
By some miraculous twist of fate, Jack stumbles across an Atlas android hidden smack dab in Hyperion headquarters. Obviously, what is he going to do with it? Keep it for himself, of course, because as the saying goes, "Finders keepers, losers weepers." What he didn't anticipate was the clusterfuck he'd find himself in, when he discovers the valuable model he'd been hoarding has a hidden backstory. There is more than meets the eye.
(It's a sort-of tie-in to the Borderlands and Tales from the Borderlands universes. This is another attempt at an AU, although I hope to pay homage to elements from canon.)

Bookmarker's Notes
It’s mpreg Homelander done right, with believable in-character characterization and it’s also written well. I will forever hold every other future mpreg!HL fic to the impossible high standards this fic has set. It might’ve started off as the writer’s response to a crack prompt, but what came out makes the reading worth it imo.

Summary
"What's in it for me? The way things have gone tits up lately, if I killed ya they'd build a statue of ya in Times-Fucking-Square. And I'd die covered in my own shit with a smile on my fucking face knowing you spend the rest of your life unfulfilled." It's what made him so, so good at his job. The CIA knew it. That's why they tended to let Butcher get away with the things that he did. But in the end? All the work he'd done barely even made a dent in the bigger machinations going on behind the scenes at Vought.
"You're the one that wants to keep going. So. Sweeten the pot."
Homelander’s lip twitched at that first comment. He was used to the little quips and jabs from everyone, but coming from Butcher it was just a little more irritating than others. Maybe that was what he liked about William. He knew how to make it hurt.
His shoulders slowly rose and fell as he filled his lungs with as much air as they could hold, trying to calm his ever-beating heart as he was forced to pull his last attempt to get Butcher to take compound V.

Bookmarker's Notes
It’s, like, 500 pages of Butchlander RP painstakingly converted and edited into a long fic format for easy reader consumption, how much better can that get? (Writers have also read comic book canon so 👌 it’s an extra delicious bonus. You can tell a lot of effort’s gone into keeping them in-character, with domestic fluff and all your usual ‘The Boys’ wild shenanigans.)

Summary
The Boys get their hands on a material that depowers Homelander... but only partially. They're trying to kill him, once and for all, but it's not an easy puzzle to solve, and Billy Butcher starts feeling weird about it.

Bookmarker's Notes
This has become my new treasured Butchlander story. Despite the dark tags and how it may start off (it is Butcher after all…), I can assure you it is a happy ending. It also captures their personalities believably and the writing style is a pleasure to read. Highly recommend!

Summary
The thing they have between them is special. No one hates Homelander like Butcher does.
In other words, Homelander has a crush.

Summary
When the dust settles and Homelander has everything he thought he wanted, there’s still something missing. He goes to Butcher to find it.
And Butcher, well, he weren’t never one to walk away from a fight if he could come out swinging instead.

Bookmarker's Notes
*EDIT (7/2/23): When you read this, keep in mind this ends as a Good End for Billy/Hugh and a Bad End (technically) for Billy/Homelander. It makes sense for this story but be aware of this going in.
*EDIT (2/11/23): Ch14-22 is when Billy Butcher/ Hugh Campell | Hughie’s Dad has become an official tag for this fic!
This story really captures the characterizations of ‘The Boys’ to the f*cking tee—and that’s extraordinary! Highly recommend if not only for the immaculate writing style that emulates the grittiness, zaniness, and tongue-in-cheek humor of canon mixed with the writer’s own style.
