   • This isn't a 'Slade fixes him' fic
   • but it IS a 'Slade somehow makes him slightly better' fic
   • I think a LOT about when Wintergreen said Slade NEEDED to love (and to be loved)
   • and how Homelander has a desperate need to be loved
   • and how they're???? kinda perfect for each other (in a fucked up sort of way)
   • Also Grant is alive in this verse. Mentioning that bc he pops up here and there.
   • Slade is a good dad here.

   Summary

   Batman has the Superman. Midnighter has Apollo. Slade decides he wants a super-man all of his own. So he makes use of multiversal shenanigans to get himself one.

   Slade seems to know all the right things to promise the Homelander. A family, a fresh start, a new world that will love and adore him, and, — the words that are like honey to his ears — whatever he wants. All he has to do is whatever Slade tells him to, and something about Slade Wilson makes Homelander want to do exactly that.
   [Tl;dr: Slade has massive Daddy energy, and Homelander has massive Daddy Issues. Name a more perfect combo, I'll wait.]

   Non-chronological series of drabbles. Seriously. Events bounce around a lot. Time has no meaning to me, and chronological order WHO? IDK her.
