#Sugar Baby AU threadfic

[phoenixtakaramono]

OPERATION BABYLON - PART VI

aka the butchlander sugar baby AU.

We have the first reader interactive poll for this threadfic! I recommend reading the update to the end (with a detailed breakdown of each choice) before making your decision.

Tumblr Navigation (note I have not shared the prologue here with its premise setup; I’ve only started sharing this twitter threadfic on tumblr starting from the 2nd 🔞 scene): I | II | III | IV | V | VI

Update Schedule: weekly/ biweekly

(You can read the rest of the threadfic update here!)

Keep in mind, all of my AU Butchlander threadfics on Twitter are the unpolished first draft versions of what’ll eventually be polished up into long fics on AO3 under the Shock and Awe series. So you may regard this threadfic as an experimental first prototype and exclusive preview whose contents may or may not be changed in the future final draft version. We’re just loosely playing around with ideas and concepts for now!

If you don’t have a Twitter account, screenshots are provided below the line break so you can read this update on Tumblr as well:

A more-in-depth breakdown of the choices:

A) Tell the truth. To avoid suspicion, Billy lays low and comes up with an excuse that he's booked for the whole day plays hard to get. It'll lead to Homelander running into "William out on a date" with another Supe—and a jealous Homelander running interference lol and sabotaging it, potentially leading to a "private tour" at The Seven meeting room and some 🔞 inappropriate office s*x ;) the setting depends if I decide to have it as a Vought HQ gala event or a Capes for Christ baptism

The payoff: a lead into the investigation The con: Billy's relationship with one of his long-time regulars is irreversibly damaged (it'll come bite him in the arse much later in the threadfic)

B) Homelander wants to be his sugar daddy. So Billy wants to test that and see if he can get our caped crusader to unknowingly fund his little CIA operation by exaggerating his rent and monthly overhead costs to tug at the hero's supposed generous philanthropist heartstrings. It'll lead to the sugar baby/daddy relationship being developed more aka a lil à la Pretty Woman-styled "shopping spree" with Homelander raining gifts on Billy's head say bye bye to Billy's CIA-assigned base, potentially leading to a 🔞 scene for "William to show him his gratitude"

The payoff: a bigger base and money for a more in-depth investigation The con: Homelander will lowkey stalk monitor him, so it'll be harder to keep his covert activities a secret from him or sneak out

C) The cute "Waiting for you :)" type of option. Billy doubles down on the act and reforms himself into Homelander's dream lover. It's tooth-rotting romantic fluff and flirty back-and-forth banter between them, but keep in mind what'll happen when Homelander inevitably realizes the "William who's literally almost perfect in every way and is too good to be true" isn't actually real much much much later as a direct consequence of this early choice.

The payoff: a happy Homelander (speedrun gaining his trust and affection by taking our bbg on dates <3) The con: the future fallout (and reconciliation) will be much more dramatic

Choose your poison! You can also vote on Twitter (link to the poll). I will add the final results together, and we’ll see which story route comes out on top.

A/N: A bit of Billy’s POV as we begin to pull back the curtains. How deep does this rabbithole of deception go? Far. Very far. Did y'all see the twist with Popclaw? Didn't expect that, did ya?

I am, by the way, open to ⚠️🔞 reader suggestions~. I make no promises that I’ll write it, but this threadfic is meant as a shameless excuse to write 🔞 butchlander spice, haha, and provide y’all some content during our butchlander drought. I have one reader suggestion thus far, and it involves candle wax. 🕯️

So, You Think I'm Pretty? by Sour Tea (lordoflemons)

Summary: Lan Zhan takes on a role as a maid at Caiyi Cafe, a maid cafe his friend had introduced him to. Far from his school, he thought no one would find out about his part-time job until one day, classmates he knew too well came to visit. Now one of them has taken an interest in the shop and has become a regular. This person also happens to be his deskmate, Wei Ying, and he seems to have a keen interest in Lan Zhan's alter-ego 'Jiji'. Has Wei Ying figured out it's him or does he really like maid cafes? Guess the only way to find out is to go on a date with him.

A/N - ...I shouldn't be surprised but it's always a surprise to me seeing the effect whenever I switch POVs in my fics (because, depending on who's POV it is, it somehow always humanizes the male chara whose POV I'm in and makes him seem...softer than were I to write in the opposite POV).

In Billy's POV = HL is provocative and manly

In HL's POV = Billy is provocative and manly

Maybe it's just me imagining this strange phenomenon but I feel the dynamic has certainly flipped a tad when this happens, haha.

Next update we'll get the stereotypical rich sug*r d*ddy spoiling and pampering his wide-eyed sug*r b*by scene. Tbh I tried to fit it into this update but it didn't feel like it's the right placement yet and it needs buildup (to set up the next spicy scene). Homelander has to earn that D 🍆 💦.

A/N: I'd originally planned on putting this threadfic's first reader interactive poll at the end of this update (y'all can influence the plot direction this threadfic goes with each poll this'll have), but ultimately decided nah it'd fit better in the next update.

In this update, notice how the watch came back into play? It'd been foreshadowed in the earlier updates, where Billy wanders around Homelander's suite and fiddles with the leather strap (*cough*almostlikethere'smaybeaSupeproofspycaminside*cough*). And when he'd disappeared momentarily to HL's living room to fetch the water (guess who might have sneakily slipped the watch between the leather sofa cushion seats). It's referencing a CIA manipulation tactic ("bump") where the agent manufactures a reason to orchestrate a second meeting with the target of interest.

A/N: For my tumblr only readers, the context is Billy Butcher is an undercover CIA agent in this AU, under disguise and infiltrating as a high class service top male escort in the escort company that A-Train’s girlfriend, Popclaw, has founded which provides discreet companionship to Supes. And Billy somehow manages to catch Homelander’s attention because he’s hot. Notice the question Billy poses to HL at the end: “if I ask about something, you’ll be honest with me, won’t you?” :) He’s a literal honeytrap in this AU, mining for intel from his marks.

In this update, Billy and Homelander finally work out the sugar baby/ daddy arrangement, kickstarting the the future spicy scenes in this AU. Which brings me to my next point:

SUGAR BABY AU THREADFIC - PART III

TBC

(A/N) - Notice how the Evian bottled water mentioned earlier finally serves its purpose here? And peep at the mention of Billy's bare wrist—when it'd been mentioned he'd been wearing a Rolex watch prior when he'd entered Homelander's penthouse. :) The watch will come into play later; a classic underhanded CIA tactic to orchestrate a second meeting with the target.

Cut Content: Mirrorlander almost made an appearance in this update, where HL would see his own reflection approaching Billy's reflection in his mirrored bedroom...and being all handsy and just, in general, kinda creepy about it, haha. Reason why it was cut: pacing. It's also very similar to what'll show up in Truce ch4 and I didn't want to essentially rehash the same desperate obsession and tense introspection here, especially this early into this threadfic.

(The spicy 🔞 Part II 🔞 can be read here!)

If you are following along on Twitter, do let me know if you can't see the thread. 🙏 This is an ongoing experiment to see if continuing writing 🔞 threadfics is still feasible without getting sh@dowb@nned again.

Update Schedule: weekly/ biweekly

Although Billy initially didn’t know what to make of the whirlwind Manhattan high-rise house tour Homelander insisted on bringing him on, he thinks he’s figured out Homelander’s game and the unspoken rules by the time he’s carted off to the second flat. So he settles into the routine of making the appropriate “ooh” and “ahh” noises hearing the Yank regale him, the foreigner, about the supposed history of each place.

(A/N) - Place your bets on which location Billy’s going to choose as his base of operations y’all voted for it so…. From this update, if there’s things I’d probably change from the threadfic in the edited AO3 version is going more into detail about the fascinating lore of 432 Park Avenue (here’s the tl;dr vid of why it’s the most hated building in NY), draw out the scene of the g0ry reveal to heighten the tension of what Billy had just missed out seeing, and provide a better description of the architecture of Hudson Yards shops. Alas I am constrained by Twitter’s character limit per tweet, haha, and this is the first prototype so I’m not too worried.

New Threadfic Announcement + Sugar Baby AU Threadfic Update Status

(TNotG’s prologue can be read here)

The one addition I forgot to mention, I probably may or may not drag the Truce universe’s Supe!Butcher & Homelander into the threadfic’s multiverse shenanigans, because why not? It adds a bit of extra danger & incentivizes TNotG Billy to want all of his parallel universe selves to gtfo back to their worlds.

If you want more context details about the threadfics, you can read about them here that I organized for easy reference.

Tl;dr let’s cross our fingers that Twt doesn’t shadowban me because this’ll be a lotta tweets that’ll be tweeted within a span of a few days (I’ll of course screenshot them and crosspost those tweets over here on tumblr for y’all). I’m hoping they do not mistake my account as a spambot when these updates come out 😬

And regarding the next update for Operation Babylon (the Sugar Baby AU) which’ll be posted first:

[phoenixtakaramono]

…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.

[phoenixtakaramono]

The results are in! Thank you all for voting!

The winning vote is:

👑SUGAR BABY AU THREADFIC with 126 votes👑

We will resume the winning 🔞 butchlander threadfic around next week on my Twitter. Expect weekly/biweekly updates there. For my tumblr only readers, I shall do my best to take screenshots of each new batch of tweets and cross-post them here as well. Just be aware I'd only just started sharing screenshots of this particular Twitter threadfic starting from the second N/S/F/W scene (you can read them here on tumblr: 1, 2, 3); so if you're confused why the new updates begin with Part IV, now you know. You are missing the first 🔞 exposition and context of the flirtatious first meeting between Billy and Homelander, but it's fine. These Twitter threadfics of mine exist as interactive threadfics where I can allow my readers to vote on the direction of where the threadfic will go at certain key points; in the future I'll be turning these experimental first prototypes into AO3 long fics after all four chapters of Truce are done.

Threadfic runner-ups (this will be the future priority order of the threadfics I'll also be updating, but only after Truce ch3 is posted to AO3 or if I feel like switching to a different threadfic after updating the Sugar Baby AU for a long while):

FIX-IT AU THREADFIC with 49 votes M3GAN-INSPIRED AU THREADFIC with 29 votes TIMETRAVEL HALLMARK AU THREADFIC with 26 votes

Timetravel Hallmark-themed AU 🎄 Threadfic

Want to read a “short” Butchlander threadfic being written live for the holidays—rife with (almost) every Christmas Hallmark movie clichés? Look no further than:

(You can read it here!)

As for this particular threadfic’s update schedule:

Unlike my other threadfics which usually are updated in bulk tweets (25 tweets or 50+ tweets at one time for each update), this Hallmark AU will be written live so tweets will be released every couple of hours and/or randomly throughout the rest of December until we reach a satisfactory enough conclusion for this threadfic! 🎄Merry Christmas and happy holidays, dear readers! 🎄

If you don’t have a Twitter account and therefore cannot read the thread, I might either just reblog with 10 screenshots of the threadfic for each reblog to this post or divide the tweets up into parts to post on tumblr separately like I’ve started doing for the Sugar Baby AU threadfic. Whichever one I find to be easier! You’ll just have to wait a little longer for them to show up on tumblr.

I also have a couple more longer 🔞 Butchlander threadfics: M3GAN AU (with android!Homelander), Fix-It AU, and Sugar Baby AU!

Re: Where to Read the Four Butchlander Threadfics on Twitter & Status Update about Them

Whelp, guess what, everyone? Your girl’s Twitter account got shadowbanned for the first time. And pretty much the threadfics are inaccessible until the ban gets lifted. (Let’s hope everything’s back to normal soon. 😭)

The threadfics in question (M3GAN-inspired AU, Fix-It AU, and Sugar Baby AU are the long WIPs; the Vampire & Lycan Hunter AU is the only one complete):

And like I was somewhat expecting, with my account currently submerged in the ether (fingers crossed nothing’s affected and everything’s back to normal once I’m back so we can return to our regular schedule threadfic updates on Twitter), another person’s reached out to me about it:

The Asks in question:

These threadfics were always intended to exist on Twitter as the first draft prototypes where I can write spontaneously and see what works, what doesn’t, and make them reader-interactive so pretty much my readers influence important story decisions for whichever threadfic it is. Then if I were to migrate these threadfics over to AO3, the intention was always to flesh them out more and polish them up, maybe change a couple story elements so there’s a point of difference between what’s on AO3 versus what’s on my Twitter (as an analogy, think of an author’s original webnovel version they uploaded on their website versus the professional light novel version they’ve polished up for publication) to keep it fresh. This migration was supposed to happen after all four chapters of Truce are complete and the only Butchlander fic I have left on AO3 that would still be ongoing would be The Name of the Game, which frees up my workload.

So currently, where we are right now, I am seriously considering moving up the schedule if, after 1 week (10/29/23), my account on Twitter is still Shazamed. I have heard shadowbans range from 2-3 days, to 3-5 days where it’s best if I don’t use the app in this duration of time, before escalating to Twitter Support if it persists. Same goes if my account is restored and I still get shadowbanned in the future for updating any of these 3 long threadfics.

Because, at that point, I might as well just port them over to AO3 if this keeps happening and save myself the headache. But this will have to be tested out. If I see it is truly unsustainable due to Twitter’s current unfriendliness to 🔞 threadfics (😒 …it used to be an ultra friendly platform for such, till you showed up El0n Musk), then I’ll just stop writing 🔞 threadfics all together.

The one thing I will have to say, though, is being a very detail-oriented multi-fandom writer who’s trying to be fair by adhering to the update schedule, for any new content, updates will be slow. Unlike Twitter where I can churn out 25 tweets at a time per update, you’ll be looking at weeks or months per chapter update on AO3 since three of them will be turned into genuine long stories. Quicker updates depend on how much content already exist on Twitter to be adapted from before the time of migration! Let’s see how it goes! ✌️

[phoenixtakaramono]

PSA TO MY READERS

This is your biannual reminder to also follow me on Twitter 😌 if you’d like. I upload my more polished works onto AO3 as a little writing portfolio. Tumblr is used for reblogging inspo, answering Asks, and the occasional long chapter sneak peeks for my WIPs.

On Twitter, you’ll find these four (mainly three) Butchlander threadfics:

Fix-It AU (🔞)

M3GAN AU (🔞)

Sugar Baby AU (🔞)

*Werewolf Butcher / Vampire HL AU (🔞)

———————————

Q&A

Q: Will I publish any of them to AO3 in the foreseeable future?

A: Maybe. Twitter has a 280 character limit per tweet, which impacts my usual writing style—and forces me to be more selective with my words. (Almost) every update is 25 tweets long of written content, so I tailor chunks of the threadfic to lead into each update, kinda like mini cliffhangers to get my readers interested to see what happens in the next update. The story beats for the threadfics are conjured spontaneously, which is a departure from how I usually plan my stories out. These threadfics are mostly here for funsies (my Billy Butcher/ Homelander brainrot ideas) while I write ‘Truce’ (a Butchlander AU fourshot on AO3 where a Supe!Billy joins The Seven) and The Name of the Game (a 135ch Butchlander QT fic where Billy and Homelander fall in love seven different times).

If I were to bring them to AO3, I’d convert it from Present Tense to Past Tense, remove the acronyms and short-hand I’d used to save space, and I’d probably flesh it out with more details and worldbuilding—to make them more aligned with my usual writing signature. I would also probably change a few choices (like in the M3GAN AU), to keep it fresh. At that time of deciding, Truce should be completed at the time, and I also have to consider balancing the workload of my 5 other WIP stories. I’d like to give these babies attention as well.

So we’ll see! We can look at these three threadfics as potential first prototypes for now where I get to experiment with things. And once Truce is done, I’ll likely send out feelers to see which one(s) people are more interested in seeing on AO3 potentially.

**NEW STATUS UPDATE: Keep in mind, with the probable exception of the werewolf & vampire oneshot, all of my AU Butchlander threadfics on Twitter are the unpolished first draft versions of what’ll eventually be polished up into long fics on AO3 under the Shock and Awe series. So you may regard all of these threadfics as an experimental first prototype and exclusive preview whose contents may or may not be changed in the future final draft version. We’re just loosely playing around with ideas and concepts for now! For any other threadfics I may write in the future that’s not included here, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there but likely they’ll stay as Twitter & tumblr-exclusive oneshot threadfics if I don’t think they have AO3 long fic potential.
