   Summary

   If it wasn’t his agent, his publicist, or Bourke—it was Vought who had been up his ass for weeks. Ready to subject him to more petty, monotonous bullshit, all for the sake of their endless fucking reshoots.

   John Gillman is many things: nepotistic by birth, an actor by choice, and the titular character Homelander in the infamous Dawn of the Seven movies.

   He isn’t actually a superhero by any stretch of the imagination.

   Summary

   Homelander is beaten to death on live television. The world watches him die...

   Or at least, they think they do.

   When Ashley Barrett watches this happen on her phone in the safety of the tunnels beneath the White House, she realizes she needs to see him with her own eyes. And when she does, everything falls apart.

   ---

   This is a sort of fix-it for the series finale of The Boys. What if Homelander survived his encounter with Butcher? What if he were forced to live as a human with the horrific injuries inflicted upon him?

   What if being beaten to near death on live TV turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to him?
