    Summary

    So here's the thing about getting hit by a truck: you're supposed to wake up in a hot anime boy's harem or whatever. Not in the body of a B-list superhero from a show you only half-paid attention to while eating takeout.

    But no. She's in The Boys universe now. Stuck as Starlight. Surrounded by sociopaths in spandex. And her only goal is to not get lasered into fine red mist by Evil Superman with mommy issues.

    Simple, right? Just stay quiet, don't draw attention, and definitely don't say anything that makes Homelander like her.

    Except she panics. And overshares. And accidentally says something about how lonely he must be, looking down at everyone, never having anyone who can just stand next to him.

    And now he's looking at her like she's the first person who's ever seen him.

    She didn't want this. She didn't ask for this. She just wants to go back to her apartment and her shitty Wi-Fi and her complete lack of mortal peril.

    But Homelander doesn't let go of things he wants.

    Summary

    One of the oceanic survivors has latent psychic abilities and a suspicious background; Ben Linus is extremely concerned that it means she's more special than him--- a threat to his power. He might have to get rid of her. But there’s an undeniable connection between the two, an eventual fragile trust, and compassion. A team-up between the wary allies may be exactly what The Island wants.

    (in other words, the author imagined what it would be like if Ben had someone willing to understand his point of view throughout the entire show, and this is sort of exploring that idea!)

    Summary

    Ben Linus grew up knowing the tale of elusive mermaids - sirens - dwelling in the depths of the oceans that surrounded the Island. He knew them to be deadly with their enchanting song, but he never paid the stories any mind…until he unwittingly came across one of the creatures walking on land.
    For the first time in centuries, the usually reclusive mermaids were starting to go head to head with the humans they hated. A political game was afoot and, as Ben scrambled to learn more about a powerful but captivating supernatural rival, he slowly discovered that maybe not all mermaids were monsters.
    And what kind of love can rise from the darkest depths of the ocean itself?

    Summary

    After crashing on a mysterious island in the middle of God-knows-where, Evelyn Cassidy decides to keep her hearing aids a secret. There’s simply too many other things for the survivors to worry about. It’s hard to keep a secret like that, though, especially when the cute and snarky blond asshole keeps teasing you and you’re constantly fretting about your hearing aid batteries dying.

    And then there’s the man in the hatch, the man who lies for her, the man who saves her life. When he escapes, Evelyn goes after him, her curiosity piqued. Why does he seem to want her to follow him? Who is he? And why the hell did he steal her favorite book?!
