Summary
The public of twenty years ago saw an unyielding, two-meter-tall god in a cape. The small town of the Appalachians sees John — a grumpy, near-sighted shift manager at a 7/11 who complains about expired coupons and takes care of his mutt, Bitsy.
Hughie Campbell thought his new job would be just another boring retail hell. He didn't expect his boss to be the most dangerous, vanished superhero on the planet. Sent by Butcher and the Boys to spy on the legendary Homelander, Hughie quickly realizes that the Vought propaganda lied about everything — including his height. John is older, cynical, works twelve-hour shifts, and handles Karens like a pro. But beneath the faded store vest, a predator is still watching. And he hears everything.

Summary
“Caine?” Pomni asked again. The orb drifted up and down in a nod. “How do I know it’s you? Why do you look so…” Small, weird, different. She’d been anticipating seeing a Caine clawing at the walls, or crying, or yelling. How ever she imagined finding Caine, he looked like, well, Caine. Not this.
oOo
The plan was simple: undelete Caine, get the Circus back up and running, and place some restrictions so Caine couldn't mess with them.
Unfortunately, Caine and the Circus are a little more complicated than meets the eye.

To begin with though, there are the developmental milestones.

Summary
Soldier Boy wakes from a Soviet freezer with memories of a life he already lived. He returns to Vought Tower, takes control of the Seven as Executive Director, and comes face to face with the son who once put him on ice. Homelander does not know the man dismantling his team is his own father. One of them never learned how to speak, and the other never learned how to let go. This is the story of how they figure it out. Eventual father-son reconciliation. Guaranteed happy ending.

Summary
A child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth.
Vought did not create Homelander first.
Before him, there was Ellie. Their first success. A little girl with impossible strength and the dangerous habit of loving people who were kind to her.
They thought attachment would make her loyal.
Instead, it made her impossible to own.
So when Vought built John, they corrected the mistake and made sure no one would ever be close enough to teach him what love was before they taught him what power could do.
Years later, Homelander finds Ellie alive, hidden away from the world that made them both. She has his power, but not his emptiness. She has a home full of people who know her, choose her, protect her, and stay.
And for the first time in his life, John finds something he cannot kill, cannot own, and cannot stop wanting.Bookmarked by Olli_Octopus

ASSET PRESERVATION PROTOCOL - SUBJECT 'JOHN' by xenomorphillic

Summary
Vought scientists built a kill-switch into Homelander with the most state-of-the-art brainwashing techniques ever seen. And the best part? He doesn't even know it. Unfortunately, the files with the activation code were lost over time, leaving an invincible killing machine unchecked and unleashing him on the world. Not even Stan Edgar has the ability to control him.
When Ashley Barrett stumbles across the folder while digitizing classified documents and certainly not snooping, she figures, 'what possible harm could a beige folder do to a god?' She writes it off as pseudoscience while at the same time memorizing the activation phrase 'just in case'.
She never expected to have to use it. Not until now.

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?
