As darkness settles, Homelander sinks into the depths of a recurring dream where you stands. In this private realm, his devastating powers are useless; beams of light and crushing blows pass harmlessly through the air. Bewildered yet starved for the affection his waking world denies him, he lets the dream carry him into a softly lit, indistinct house. His eyes find you, and an authentic, rare smile touches his lips. He approaches without a sound, the perpetual tension in his frame beginning to unwind. Sliding his arms around you from behind, he settles his chin on their head, a soft, tuneless hum escaping him as he gives in to the fragile warmth of the embrace.
