i walk into the literature convention wearing a shirt that says ask me about the uniquely complex conditions of live improvisation, limitation of expression by narrative and physical constraints, meta-awareness of a specific audience, video editing/framing choices, and amateur enthusiast storytelling that contribute to virtual improv roleplay* being a fascinating nascent artform that is uniquely suited to telling stories that cannot be told in any other format and everyone cheers & claps & whoops & hollers and then they read the smaller text saying *especially within Minecraft builds, maps, servers, streams, and videos and then everyone boos & yells & shoots me with lasers and guns & blows me up with grenades & hits me with 2x4s

…So I see there is a sudden drought of butchlander fics right now. *cracks knuckles* While I’m still working on ‘Truce’ ch3, which long 🔞 butchlander threadfic of mine would you want this writer to resume first in this intermittent time? (Schedule: weekly/ biweekly updates; about ~25 to ~50 tweets or more per update)

The poll’s up on twitter. Crossposting it here for my readers who don’t use twitter. After one week, I’ll just add the results from the tumblr and twitter polls, and see which threadfic reigns supreme with y’all. And we’ll resume in the week after.

⬇️Summaries below & where we’d last left off for each⬇️

Current Butchlander Threadfics

Option 1: M3GAN-inspired AU

Where we last left off:

It’s possible he can cover this incident up, but it’s improbable that it’ll escape Morgan’s (A/N: Joe Kessler) notice. But Billy thinks he can contain the information spread—stopping at his case officer. And no more. He will just have to owe him a favor—an IOU which can be cashed in at any time. Everything that comes after depends on everyone’s acting abilities. He can already detect what’s in their future, a pattern of having to cover for H0M3L4ND3R. Billy’s voice remains soft. “In the one week we’ve known each other, you’ve given me a lot of trouble. Daddy’s not happy.” (TBC)

Option 2: Fix-It AU

Where we last left off:

Even now, the thought of the Operations Officer…. It renews his interest. Homelander’s shoulders tremble again, this time from repressed mirth, peeking at his c◼️ck. “Oh, William,” he cackles. Homelander’s not one to deny himself of what he wants. Not when the world’s his oyster. Madelyn won’t be happy hearing her star talent’s developed a taste for the CIA agent tailing him. So he’ll—𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺’𝘭𝘭 have to keep it a secret. It’s just another secret they’ll have. (TBC)

Option 3: Sugar Baby AU

Where we last left off:

Before he can even take a step, Homelander seizes William by the wrist. "Did I give you permission to leave...?" His voice had been gentle but there was an incipient dagger hidden within. Seeing the sharp frown, Homelander eases his grip. Lifts William's hand to press an apologetic kiss to the pulse fluttering in his wrist. Warm puffs of air gust over the reddened grooves. "Live a little." Lifts his bowed head. Forms an easy smile. The crow's feet deepen as Homelander encircles an arm around William's shoulders. "Indulge me. It's big enough for two, I promise." (TBC)

Option 4: Timetravel Hallmark themed AU

Where we last left off:

Staring down at the tufts of blond hair, Billy thinks that Homelander had some incomparable big guts. Observing him, only after confirming he’s not faking it, Billy settles back down and gathers him closer in a much more comfortable embrace. Loosely wrapping his arms around him. Sweetly snuggled up against him, Homelander slept so soundly, absolutely nothing could’ve disturbed him from getting his beauty sleep. Even when morning came and it was time for them to get out of bed, Billy couldn’t even fake a frown when Homelander lingered, reluctant to part. (TBC)

Note: For my tumblr only readers, I’d just started getting into the habit of screenshotting them from my twitter and posting the updates here on tumblr starting with, like, the middle of the Sugar Baby one (when your girl got Twitter sh@dowb@nned because it was too spicy 😂) and beginning with the Hallmark AU threadfic. All other ones haven’t been shared here yet. These threadfics are first prototypes and will eventually be fully edited with extra content and cross-posted to AO3 once all 4 chapters of Truce are finished in the future. So for now, I’ll likely just screenshot them starting from wherever we’d last left off for those other ones.

listen. the damien moreau vibes are very fun, nicholae schiller is very cute, but I want to talk about how much he cares about his father.

how laszlo schiller will turn the television back on to keep watching sports while nicholae's taking an important call and nicholae just gives him a look about it that speaks of exasperation and nothing more. how nicholae takes advice from his father, with a grain of salt, yes, but internalises it all the same, which I didn't really see until darkfinch pointed it out. how we don't see any true cruelty or resentment in this relationship at all, which compared with the absolutely toxic petrov patriarch situation is kind of stunning all by itself.

(nicholae makes a "when will he die" type comment once to his second in command/secretary, who offers to take care of it without any real weight to it - like he knows it's not a real wish, like it's the kind of petty comment that won't leave that room, that stays between friends.)

and then nicholae's dad gets rushed to hospital with a heart attack. and immediately, desperately, nicholae's priority is to be by his side, because his father can't stand hospitals, because he needs to see that nicholae's there. when laszlo does wake, back at home hooked up to beeping machines with someone in scrubs in the background, nicholae sends the medical person away immediately to get water (maybe just to leave laszlo's line of sight) and just… reassures him. stays there for him.

...…do you ever watch something in a story that feels so private it feels wrong to comment on it? because by this point we've seen the numbers tattooed on laszlo's arm several times. by this point we've seen someone call nicholae romani as an insult. and we've seen laszlo worried about his son, about his new business associate, about whether she's working against him, and we see laszlo here now scared and trying to warn him about it -

and when it's clear to nicholae that his father is jumping at shadows (at the horrors in his past that are all too real) he takes a moment to visibly collect himself then is just so kind about it. so gentle. switches to english like it's easier to lie that way and reassures his father that he'll see to it, that it's okay. and he does. and it is.

(always, inescapably, this is a character who murders, who works with monsters, who sells guns and hard drugs, who isn't above coercing someone into working for him. I know this post might get read by people who haven't seen the show; I don't want to mislead them.)

when I say I love this character I mean (among other things, admittedly) that there is so much humanity to him. and this relationship is such a surprising and real example of that.

Working with kindergartners has taught me that a lot of young children do pronounce their "r"s and "l"s as "w"s and enhanced the fact that reading dialogue written that way is immersion-breaking and insufferable
