We introduce a computationally tractable way to describe the $$\mathbb Z$$-homotopy fixed points of a $$C_{n}$$-spectrum $$E$$, producing a genuine $$C_{n}$$ spectrum $$E^{hn\mathbb Z}$$ whose fixed and homotopy fixed points agree and are the $$\mathbb Z$$-homotopy fixed points of $$E$$. These form the bottom piece of a contravariant functor from the divisor poset of $$n$$ to genuine $$C_{n}$$-spectra, and when $$E$$ is an $$N_{\infty}$$-ring spectrum, this functor lifts to a functor of $$N_{\infty}$$-ring spectra. For spectra like the Real Johnson--Wilson theories or the norms of Real bordism, the slice spectral sequence provides a way to easily compute the $RO(G)$-graded homotopy groups of the spectrum $$E^{hn\mathbb Z}$$, giving the homotopy groups of the $$\mathbb Z$$-homotopy fixed points. For the more general spectra in the contravariant functor, the slice spectral sequences interpolate between the one for the norm of Real bordism and the especially simple $$\mathbb Z$$-homotopy fixed point case, giving us a family of new tools to simplify slice computations.
