[snootlestheangel]

Hi snootels I also had/am having a shit day and I would love to hear more about overwatch!

Could you talk about the queer characters or your head canons for them please? I just need to hear something nice about the queers(tm) at the moment.

I am so sorry you're having a rough day, honey. I am in your corner so say the words and my 5'2" ass will fight someone

I will say I like how the characters that are queer are like realistic

Like, Tracer casually refers to her girlfriend Emily in a few interactions/voice lines, which I think is really cool. It's a subtle way of building her character without making anything seem forced. I just also think these two are the cutest together, especially in that comic thing where they visit Winston and all have sweaters, that was precious.

Baptiste being bi makes me very happy in a way I cannot explain. It fits but like it just makes me so happy. I do not understand why and I'm not in the mental state to question why

Love old gay man Soldier. One of the most straight coded characters and he's fucking gay. Fantastic I love it, 10/10.

I want Pharah to have a girlfriend so badly. Badass butch Pharah and her sweet femme girlfriend would be so good. (I do not see Pharah/Mercy because I want them to stay friends for the sake of there can be strong, platonic relationships between gay and straight women without the queer one harboring feelings. And I feel if they did that, it would be forced to appease the fans that do ship the two. Also I just ship Genji/Mercy too strongly)

Venture 👌 it's a shame they don't have more skins because I've seen several really good skin ideas for them.

I will admit, I definitely still ship Cassidy/Hanzo. But like, I feel like they have such a complicated relationship until they realize they have romantic feelings for each other. Lots of arguing, lots of what seems like hatred of the other, blah blah blah. Meanwhile Genji who knows both of them the best, is like "nah give it time, soon they'll be inviting us to the wedding" (definitely no one believes him until it happens lol). Part of the problem I feel like is that Hanzo has a lot of internalized homophobia from being raised as heir to the yakuza empire his family ran. Like, that kind of situation doesn't seem to be very accepting, ya know?

It's also part of why he and Genji eventually became so distant from each other and what led up to the fight. Genji was openly queer in his delinquent teen years, and it pissed his family off.

But also firm believer in asexual!Hanzo. Let the man be a sad little weirdo with his cowboy boyfriend there to support him.

I feel like Morrison (Soldier 76) definitely harbored feelings for Reyes (Reaper) before the fall of Overwatch, but Reyes rejected him/had a family. It makes their relationship in current Overwatch even deeper because while the feelings weren't reciprocated, they were still friends and soldiers in arms, and now they're strangers to even themselves.

If you are interested, I do have an Overwatch sideblog: @snootlesow

I haven't posted there in a hot minute but it's got some stuff on it

[cybernightart]

A couple Random Genji and some kiriko + other headcanons/short story things? Not a full fic or anything but headcannons that kinda flow into a story of some kind. I don't even have a clue how many I've done at this point XD

Second half of this gets a little sadder, and mentions stuff from his Playboy days including drinking and drugs and stuff not much but it's there so still head up.

BUT then I wrote a short cute thing of how I imagine kiriko reunited with genji so it's not all angst and depresso.

Also random Gency here and there! (There's alot not going to lie lol)

And lastly as per always, this is very very rambly as I'm just getting my thoughts written out and there's not much actual order and there might be some jumping back and forth but I tried to keep it as steady flow as my brain would allow. This one is rather long though.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This one actually starts with Dva! (This is partially inspired of a few other head cannons I've seen from people) After she joined OverWatch in between missions whenever she's doing more normal streams that aren't streaming the fights, where she's in her room gaming or doing other streams around the base, she would bring some of the other members onto the streams either they would pop in to say hi or would stay for whole streams. At first it would primarily be the new blood crew, as they had been around either for longer and her Chat had gotten to know them too.

But then after a while chat started to notice these same two people popping in for quite a lot of streams not really ever acknowledging chat but just talking to Dva. They would be giving her food and bringing her drinks and stuff ,making sure that she's staying hydrated ,making sure she's okay, and just all around taking care of her. One of the two was immediately recognized to be mercy which the chat started lovingly referring to as "mom" because in any stream she appeared in even for a couple seconds she was always just taking care of everyone and looking after everyone and reminding her not to stream too long. The second person wasn't immediately recognized, at least by name anyways. Genji wasn't known to the public what his name was, they just knew he was the ninja guy from OverWatch, that they had seen on the news a couple times in some fights like when they took down doomfist or in Paris. And they had especially never heard him talk before this, so all anyone publicly knew about him was there was this omnic looking guy who was a ninja with green lights on him. And after the first few times he popped in to check on Diva bringing her stuff, and way more specific stuff that he knows would be better for her to have during stream or gaming sessions because he himself being quite experienced in the gaming department he knows what kind of snacks or beverages are better to have while still being healthy at least a little. And after these many appearances by this unnamed member they had no idea who he was, Diva eventually explained to her chat that that was Genji and he was a cyborg ninja who looks intimidating (and can be very intimidating) but who's actually a really big sweetheart is very caring and stuff. So considering how Chat had started referring to mercy as mom, they started referring to Genji as dad, which then eventually snowballed into people shipping them on Diva's stream even going as far as drawing fanart of them. Which at this point no one on the base actually knew Genji mercy had a thing going on outside of tracer ,sojourn and Cassidy and kind of Winston but he was mostly oblivious. They mostly knew from before overwatch shut down, from the random dates they went on or the late night conversations and the all-around flirting between the two of them, but none of them knew that they were even more of a thing than before and were even closer.

Moving on to the next head cannon which ties into that one. We know Genji and Hanzo reunited on the 10-year anniversary of Genji's death when he was around 35, and he's 37 now, and the last letter we know of really between the two is when he told her about reuniting with his brother. And we also know from the recent logs from PVE that Genji hasn't actually been at the monastery in a while and hasn't seen zenyatta in a long time and has just been writing him letters. So I personally like to believe in that in that two-year span Genji was wandering around again with ,a new purpose in life this time ,specifically on the mission to track down Angela. Where he eventually found her after about a year or so, because he had no idea where she was, since he left the monastery he didn't have any of the letters that she could have sent in the meantime, specifically one where she mentioned that she was leaving Cairo and going somewhere else. So for about a year he was on kind of a wild goose chase just kind of running around trying to find her eventually he did find her. At this point she was in between her trips to places to help people and was just in her home in Switzerland, which I like to imagine she lives in an apartment.

Which is where Genji tracks her down to, end of instead knocking on the door like a normal person he knocked on her window, because he couldn't be bothered taking the stairs inside and just wall climbed up to her balcony because it was "easier". He brought with him a few gifts including Swiss chocolate which he was able to get much easier now being in Switzerland, and a couple other assorted gifts.

So as Angela was sitting at her desk filling out paperwork at midnight, she heard a knocking on her window which at first she brushed off as the wind but then realized how distinct of a knocking it was. So cautiously she grabbed her blaster from the table she'd been working on all her Valkyrie suit stuff on, quietly tiptoed over to the window peaked through her blinds and didn't see anything except for a faint green Glow. Which definitely confused her at first so against your better judgment she opened the window, poked your head out and was looking side to side couldn't see anything or anyone, balcony completely empty. Until a little ribbon thing fell in front of her face was she immediately recognized and looked up to see Genji dangling from the upstairs balcony Spider-Man style because of course he is. And before she can say anything Genji says a sweet little "hello doctor", and plopped down in front of her perching himself on the balcony wall. Then after 2 seconds of fully registering what's going on she happily yells out Genji's name as she wraps her arms around him. Where he quickly has to grab onto the window / door so they both don't fall off the balcony with the force she have charged at him with. She apologizes, genji says it's fine, they both giggle, Genji then reaches up and completely takes off his mask/helmet, reaches out brushes a loose strand of hair behind her ear and leans in and says "I missed you <3" in a loveing hushed voice. Which mixed with the cheeky smirk on his scarred face makes Angela's face go completely red. Flustered she looks him in the eyes and smiles before saying "I missed you too<3" as she leans in and kisses genji on the cheek making him go so red in the face that even his ears are blushing and steam releases through his shoulder vents. And for Genji can even get any words out Angela pulls him inside like grabbing on to the front of his new hoodie, what she then cheekily but honestly compliments saying how it suits him, and he does the same with her new hair cut.

You then spend roughly the next year living together slowly getting closer and closer and more and more comfortable with each other than they already were (like they were basically dating at this point but just hadn't admitted it) snuggling, doing daily tasks together, when Angela came home from her long shifts at the hospital genji had done all the household chores and had cooked dinner for them both. And where all-around enjoying life to the best of their abilities, considering all the stuff going on in the news, and eventually the recall. Which they desired to answer together, and made their way to Paris arriving just in time to save Winston, tracer and mei along side Reinhardt, Brigitte, and echo.

Back to the Dva streaming thing, once genji and mercy found out dvas chat called them mom and dad they both laughed at it, but also kinda agreed. Genji first said he didn't see it for himself, which almost everyone else chimed in with all the times he has looked after someone, helped them out, made sure they are staying hydrated, looking out for their health (mental and physical) and has overall became someone any of them can talk to for reassurance or guidance. That combined with all the terrible dad jokes. They both eventually accept their roles as the mom and dad friends of the group.

Genji 100% makw some of the worst but the best dad jokes

Some examples of this, like in PVE when Genji checks in on mei to see if she's doing okay, comforts tracer about mondattas death, even him talking about Cassidy about how he hasn't been sleeping and helping him deal with the emotions and memories causing that. I'm definitely also see him befriending Zarya pretty quickly, after not getting off on the right foot with her not trusting him seeing him as part omnic and not knowing if she can trust him because of it, once they step foot into the gym together they instantly become workout buddies, especially considering both of them are frantically trying to help the others not injure themselves while doing what they think are basic workouts. Primarily with mei, Lucio, dva, even Baptiste and then a couple of the others. Lucio on multiple occasions would go into the gym not wearing proper footwear and immediately get sent back out by either Zarya or Genji. And with the people they don't have to help out as much in that way, they both spar or train with the others and help push them when they need it and help them to go easy when they need it (like brig, tracer or rein)

Genji also gives the best massages in OverWatch, primarily to mercy but he does them for everyone else as well. And when someone injures themselves in a non bloody we should probably take you to the medics kind of way he can help bandage up rolled ankles or other pulled muscles and other more athletics based injuries from both personal experience and stuff he's picked up from being around mercy for so long.

And for the third time back to Dva stream thing, there was one time she was doing a cooking stream with Lucio, and Genji happen to walk into the room to see them trying and shopping things and immediately having to dash over there and take the knives out their hands because Jesus Christ they were going to hurt themselves the way they were trying to do it. And after he confiscated the knives he showed them how to properly use them so they wouldn't hurt themselves horribly, and then physically got them to try cutting again this time with his supervision so they could hands on learn how to do it while also having genji there as a safety net to make sure they don't cut their fingers off.

And eventually after a while of convincing Genji eventually came on to one of Diva's dreams for the whole thing and ended up playing games with her which is where she found out Genji used to play video games a lot (and it turns out Genji is better than her, he kicked her butt a few times and then went easier on her but acted like he was still trying so she could feel like she had beaten him and to not humiliate her in front of her stream) and he was better than her at fighting/shooters games but Dva was better in racing/flying/absurd nonsense games(think like gang beasts and fall guys) except for things like Mario kart (or whatever the OverWatch equivalent would be) where they were pretty evenly matched.

And there was one time they tried to play VR only to very quickly realize that Genji could not because he couldn't get the headset over his mask, and even when they finally did get it to stay in place(kinda) he couldn't hear anything through it and it looked ridiculous over his mask, and everything was tinted very green. So dva changed the set up so the camera wasn't facing him so he could take his mask off and properly play, because she still wanted to play with him but didn't want to make him uncomfortable because she knew he wasn't very big on showing his face especially to the hundreds of thousands of people watching.

Dva also introduced him to games like beat saber which he loved, and was very good at, mainly because of all the sword training (even though it wasn't accurate it was definitely helpful)

Now switching gears to some different head cannons, this is where the sad stuff happens!!!! ANGST TIME!!!!

Genji when looking back at his old self (playboy days) is very overly harsh on himself and views himself as a way worse person than he actually was at the time. Looking back at those days with the opposite of rose tinted glasses. Overall just viewing himself as a very mean selfish person when, in actuality he was still a very kind-hearted sweet person like he is now. Back then though he wasn't allowed to show it or would be punished when he did for "being weak". And he also looks back at his Playboy partying days not really acknowledging why he was doing all that. Forgetting the mental state he was in at that point, with his mental state during black watch and the initial years of his time in OverWatch overshadowing the negative emotions he felt back then.

he had no interest with being a part of the family business but also just didn't agree with it, he was drifting from his brother who he used to be almost inseparable from and now it was almost like talking to a stranger with how cold and distant Hanzo seem to have become. Or whenever he went out trying to make friends or tried dating people, either they didn't want to interact with him because they were scared of the fact he was a shimada and believed him to be dangerous, or when they did want to interact with him they only wanted to interact with him so they could use him for his money and status ,or only going after him for his looks and not actually him as a person. then an assortment of other small things which built up only topped off by the ever-increasing stress and pressure put on from his family and Clan elders, and eventually the assassination of his father sending him over the edge into full party Playboy this is the only way he knows how to cope mode.

With him constantly getting drunk, high, or even a combination of both, and just overall being a Playboy by "sleeping" around to try and escape from his reality, to feel something, something that wasn't all the bad things he was feeling now.

The only one who actually knew anywhere close to what Genji was going through or how he was feeling at this time was kiriko. (I don't care what her canonical age says it makes no sense so I'm still sticking with she's a couple years younger than them. So like when genji's 37, she's 32-33 or something) they would hang out with all the time, and she very quickly picked up on his rapidly decreasing mental and emotional state, not knowing how to help other then just being there for him.

When he wasn't drunk or out partying, he was going out around hanamura/kanezeka, primarily to the arcade with kirko. Where she witnessed all the good things Genji would do and how nice he was with people. like when he saw kids struggling at an arcade game, trying their hardest and failing, he would go over and help the kids in whatever way they needed so that they would win. And if the kids had given up and we're starting to walk away, he would go over play the game and win big prize, the go over redeem the prize and then give the prize to the kids. Or when someone was being harassed, attacked or in general being put in danger, he would stand up for them and defend them, using his skills as a ninja too take down multiple of these harassers or attackers with ease, as kiriko would tend to the person in need to see if they had any wounds or in general to see if they're okay. And if Genji did need help in fighting, he would fight side by side with kiriko defending the city together, helping wherever they could.

She just remembers all the joy he would bring to people around the city. Primarily just by doing little things and being a nice person, actions that he would dismiss as not being meaningful or actually good deeds, not being able to see past the part of him which made him tied to one of the most feared and most dangerous yakuzas in the whole of Japan ,and in terms of criminal empires at the time, in a lot of the world. Genji instinctively would have put on a mask of the cocky full of himself spoiled rich kid with a carefree attitude, only ever letting it really drop around kiriko or in these random moments of kind-hearted gestures with locals or complete stragers. Where you could actually see the real him, the real him that he had to hide from the clan because he was seen as weak and undesirable, and overall just not being cut out for the family legacy. Which overtime only weight heavier and heavier on his heart and soul, not being able to see that the locals around him loved and appreciated him. Not seeing the sentiments and opinions that they hold even to this day of Genji, not seeing him as a shimada, but as Genji. The green haired goofball who would get himself into trouble but had a kind heart and was just an all-around good kid, that they never found out what happened to and to their knowledge just disappeared one day, the same day Hanzo left and was almost never seen again, with only the occasional sightings once a year on the same day. And not too long after the brothers disappearances, the rest of the clan will go on too, either gone into hiding, arrested or killed.

The Kind-hearted sweeter quiet but Goofy side of Genji is the side that kiriko remembers, even years later. She doesn't mourn for the loss of the cocky rich Playboy persona who would get into fights to prove he was better and didn't care about anyone other them himself.

She missed her best friend. The sweet guy she grew up with, who happened to be into a family who didn't want him for him. And as much as kirko still looks back on the clan with rose tinted glasses, much like how pharrah looks back on OverWatch, she still remembers what the clan did to Genji. Not just ordering him to be killed, not just his own brother who they both trusted who Genji loved wholeheartedly even though they had grown distant and/or it was never really shown anymore, but for how they mentally and emotionally broke him down over the years. Leading him down a path which he never wanted to take a step down in the first place. A path which he thought was his only way of escape, even if it was temporary.

She remembers all the nights of Genji coming back from being at the club, only for him to come home to angry screaming about how disappointed they are in him, the shame he's bringing to their family, and the countless other heated arguments between him and Hanzo, where Genji hardly able to speak for himself because how drunk/high he was, get frustrated and just storm away to his room not even listening to Hanzo yelling after him. And all the times she would go into his room to find him sitting on the floor in the corner quietly crying, far too drunk to even try hiding his emotions at this point. where she would sit with him and just talk to him for hours as he cried until he passed out. And all the nights she wished she could do more to help him, all the times she regrets not protecting him, and all the times she replays the memories in her head, going through all the different outcomes of things she could have done differently that would result in him still being with her today, and the different lives they could have been living. All things that are not her fault, things that she had no control over, but still keep her up at night. All the times Genji took the blame for something she did to protect her from being punished, all the times he stood up for her and was there for her, even being the one to advocate for her to join him and Hanzo in training despite all the protests from the elders and the uncertainty from Hanzo, his father and her mother, he stood up and believed in her that she was ready, eventually winning them over and allowing her to join.

All these memories of the friend she lost and wished every day that he could come back, that one day he would come knocking at her front door with donuts ,cookies or sweets in hand like he used to do when he would sneak them both sweets when they both really shouldn't have been having sugar, or weren't allowed any because they were in trouble.

She even keeps a bunch of mementos around her apartment that remind her of him. including her first kunai, his headband that he used to wear all the time in training that Hanzo would tell him look stupid but he didn't care, just seeing how annoyed it made Hanzo made it worth it. A bunch of his drawings she framed and hung up that he would do in secret ,that he didn't think were that good but kiriko absolutely loved and would try to tell him they were amazing. A bunch of assorted toys and plushies she keeps on her shelves and desk that they won at the arcade together. Or even how she continues to dye her hair the same shade of green years later because it was the color that she would dye it when they would dye their hair together.

And even though she couldn't have done anything differently....she feels like she failed him. which is one of the reasons she tries so hard everyday to fight for her friends and for the people of kanezeka, because hopefully someday, she can feel like she made it up to him. Now constantly paranoid of losing someone she cares about, terrified she loses someone like she lost Genji. And still wanting to continue the small deeds of kindness that he would do, that he didn't think meant anything but to her and everyone around him meant the world.

Of course at this point she had no idea he is actually alive.

Whenever genji had a free moment in OverWatch, he would be trying to find her/find a way to contact her, and thinking of all the ways that he could go about explaining everything to her and apologizing for not finding her sooner and not being there. With a million thoughts running through his head not knowing how to go about it. Telling Hanzo was one thing because as much as his brother didn't like to believe it he was predictable, Genji knew pretty much exactly how Hanzo was going to react and could guess every single thing he would do the entire meeting, and even though he knew kiriko he knew that she wasn't like Hanzo, kiriko most likely changed so much you know those years, unlike Hanzo who stuck in the past. She didn't know how she would react, if she would hate him, if she would be happy, if she would punch him in the face the second she saw him, A million ways he could go about it and not one he was certain on. After talking with zenyatta and Angela he eventually decided todo what felt right.

(when reading this next part, picture it with the calm happy music from the kiriko cinematic! It adds to the feels)

So on random evening, the elevator doors opened and out walked a man who had never been there before. A man wearing a gray hoodie and joggers, with what looked like a cybernetic hand, with his hood pulled up and a black cloth mask covering his lower face, and from under the hood peeked a couple strands of bright green hair, and in hand where two boxes of doughnuts. And on his way walking to one of the doors he stopped and said hello to the old man who appeared to be the janitor/maintenance man for that apartment building, and a little girl wearing a kitsune mask with a fox plushie in hand. She was sitting on the floor coloring with crayons, where upon closer inspection she was trying a very familiar green haired girl then also familiar blue spirit fox. Smiling under his mask, he bent down to get a closer look at the drawing, which caught the girls attention, initially being a little scared he signed to her telling her that it's okay and he just wanted to compliment her drawing. She shyly thanked him, and then Genji asked what her name was, to which she replied with "little fox" while giggling and then asked what his name was, and he replied with "Sparrow" and told her that he was here to see a friend that he hasn't seen for a really long time. Did they then said/signed their goodbyes, has Genji stood back up bringing the donuts with him and proceeded to walk to the end of the hall. Where he paused, took in a deep breath, then knocked on the door, holding up the donuts so that he couldn't be seeing through the peep hole. And when kiriko open the door, confused and who it was especially this time of night, she looked up as Genji lowered his mask and simply said "hey kiriko"

I can’t sleep here’s some ow2 headcanons by a gay autistic person who has to make every character they like gay and autistic

Ignore spelling errors I’m tireddd

These might be random as hell also don’t comment that it doesn’t match canon idc I know

These are my main hc btw not my only one because I have multiple for a few

Anyways here we go:

Zen and roadhog are close friends and zen is the only omnic roadhog enjoys the company of. They commonly talk about peace and they definitely have different views on it but respect each others ideas of peace

Junkrat and Lúcio like listening to music together but can’t decide if they want to listen to techno or hiphop, roadhog gets annoyed by both (he prefers rock)

Junkrat likes to make friendship bracelets to people he’s close with

To add to that. Junkrat thinks everyone is his best friend and his husband roadhog is his very best friend

Soldier 76 looks up to mercy like she’s a big sister even though he’s older

Reaper likes to be called a hero and misses being one. Mercy’s “heros never die!” Makes him so so happy

Roadhog and junkrat both love lacrosse and cricket and watch it together frequently

To add junkrats childhood dream was to play cricket professionally but he eventually changed his mind

Roadhog and junkrat are both autistic. Roadhogs special interests are pachi-mari and mechanics and junkrats special interests are bombs and mechanics. They both find common interest in mechanics and bonded even better because if it. They like working on improving their guns, vehicles, and other mechanical things together

I also like to think they have lacrosse and cricket hyperfixations

Winston and tracer drink tea and talk about plans together all the time because they are besties

Also they prefer to do everything together

Life weaver shipped junkrat and roadhog before they we’re together

Roadhog and life weaver also talk about nature together life weaver even sometimes joining zen and hogs conversations on peace

Also roadhog loves flowers

Roadhog gets junkrat flowers a lot and junkrat does the same for roadhog but when roadhog does it junkrat eats the flowers

Roadhog collects pachi merch and owns all the rare plushies and stuff

And I’m tired so that’s it for now thank you

[fool-counter]

[MEI] Winston...?

the worst part of really long asks is when they don't even have that many fools in them. other than the senders themselves, of course.

[junkratsjunkertown]

Would you write something about Lúcio? 🥺 could be anything really… fluff, nsfw, sfw (sorry if i’m not helping at all, I can think of something more specific if you prefer ❤️)

Sure. Also, it’s okay. I just went through a couple of ideas but ultimately went with something where the Reader can turn into a Dire Wolf. I also made the reader Gender Neutral. Funnily enough, I wrote most of this once I read your request.

The Frog and The Wolf

Lúcio x Dire Wolf! GN! Reader

You were new to Overwatch and only knew a few members. You knew Soldier: 76, Tracer, Winston, Mercy, and Ana. You were finishing unpacking when you heard a knock on the door. You carefully opened it only to see the one and only Lúcio.

"Hello hello. I heard that there was a new recruit and thought I would stop by and introduce myself."

You were blushing as he talked.

"I already know who you are. You are Lúcio. I am such a big fan of your music. Oh sorry. I am Y/N."

You and Lúcio shake hands. You let him into your room.

"So, what made you join Overwatch, Y/N?"

"I want to help people and make the world a better place."

"Wonderful. What do you do?"

"Oh, I can turn into a Dire Wolf. I was an experiment for some scientists at Talon. I promise you that I am not a spy. You can ask Mercy, Winston, Tracer, Soldier: 76, and Ana if you don't believe me."

There was a minute of silence before either of you spoke.

"I believe you after hearing what Talon does. Dire Wolf huh? That's cool."

~Six months later~

You were on a mission. You were with Echo, Lúcio, Mercy, and Reinhardt. You were in your Dire Wolf form and noticed a sniper aiming at Lúcio. You quickly jumped in front of the bullet and Echo took out the sniper. The bullet hit your shoulder, but it didn't stop you from taking out the enemies that were surrounding you and Lúcio.

After the mission, you were still in your Dire Wolf form and Mercy was currently taking the bullet out of your shoulder and stitching up the wound. After that, you were back in your human form and Lúcio came up to you.

"Thank you for saving me from that sniper, Y/n"

"You're welcome, Lúcio. I have to protect our support heroes."

After the ship lands at headquarters you and Lúcio go to the cafeteria.

"Y/N, do you ever think about what it would be like if you weren't a Dire Wolf?"

"Sometimes. But I like to think that I would still join Overwatch because I want to help the world."

You two eat and end up talking about random things.

~two weeks later~

You open your room door and see Lúcio holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Y/n, would you... um... would you? Why is this so hard?"

"Are you asking me out on a date, Lúcio?"

"Yeah. But you make me all flustered because I think you are cute."

You take the flowers and kiss his cheek.

"I would love to go on a date with you."

After that first date, you and Lúcio officially start dating. There happened to be a bet between Tracer, Mercy, Ana, Reinhardt, and Cassidy on how long it would take for you two to start dating. Reinhardt won that bet and Cassidy lost. Cassidy said two weeks while Reinhardt said six months.

~The End~

[ovwechoes]

Do you have any rules for making requests? Stuff like characters or subjects you will and won't write about or certain contexts you won't write certain characters in? How many characters can we ask about per request? Will we get less content if we ask for more characters? And what about nsfw stuff? Any particular leanings or restrictions for that? Feel free to mention any thing else. Sorry about the all questions. Just want to make sure before doing anything. Thanks and have a great day!

Rules & FAQ Thank you for the ask! I've been wanting to do a rules post to outline what I write for and what I don't, and other things so that there's no confusion with people. So I'll use this ask as my rules page for now, and edit as needed.

As a general rule, I delete requests if you spam your ask multiple times on separate days - I understand if you're inpatient, but please give me time and rushing doesn't help anything. If you want to know where I'm at with your request, you're always free to send an ask asking or DM me personally. I don't take offence to asking, but spamming my inbox with those things won't make me work faster.

Characters I do/don't write: I'm happy to write for any of the overwatch characters, but in a romantic way and with a human reader, I won't write for Winston, Wrecking Ball, or Orisa (since she's canonically like 5). With them, I'd only feel comfortable writing for them in a platonic/general sense, nothing romantic or sexual with human readers. I won't write Lena Oxton/Tracer with a male reader, or Soldier:76 with a female reader either in romantic or sexual contexts. Also, I specialise in writing female characters, but I'm honestly happy to write for any gender/sexuality, with any type of reader as long as it doesn't clash with the above info.

Subjects I do/don't write: I avoid writing anything involving proship, incest, domestic abuse, and paedophilia. It's something I will always avoid, and I'm not lean about this. I will write for deeper subjects like mental health, drug abuse, stalking (as long as it's not a one sided situation), that sort of thing and use themes/tw/cw sections where available. For example, I won't write yandere if it's one sided or just the reader/character doing it to the other. Whereas, I'm happy to write it as a ‘matched their freak’ sort of situation where they're both obsessive with each other. I also won't write for the following kinks when it comes to nsfw requests (for my own comfort): cnc/consensual non-consensual, daddy kink/ddlg, thigh crushing, sounding and age play in general. I delete requests involving these things, and would appreciate if these topics were avoided when it comes to requesting things.

How Many Characters Per Headcanon Request? I'm happy to write for about 6 characters in 1 headcanon request, or 2 ships in one headcanon request. It helps me keep track of what I'm writing for and doesn't mud the waters too much. However, with fanfic, one shot or drabble requests I'll only do one at a time. I'll separate the posts if there's requests for more than one in an ask, and link the post that's split from the ask in the response. If you want an organisation, like Talon or Overwatch, written for as a headcanon request, that's the only time I'm really flexible with the rules. I'm happy to write for polyamorous characters/ships as well, but in this instance the maximum ship amount for a request of any nature would be 4. As for content, I aim to give about 6-7 headcanons per post, but sometimes if I don't have enough inspo I'll write for less, but it wont be any less than 4-5. I also have question or non question options for my hc posts, so you're free to ask for either if you'd prefer that. 

NSFW: General rules With NSFW stuff, I'm happy to write for anything involving it as long as it doesn't clash with what I'm comfortable writing. But the characters I'm not comfortable writing with NSFW are anything involving Orisa, Wrecking Ball or Winston, paedophilia, assault or rape, incest or proship. I won't write for any underage characters as well in a sexual light. I also won't write for the following kinks when it comes to nsfw requests (for my own comfort): cnc/consensual non-consensual, daddy kink/ddlg, thigh crushing, sounding and age play in general. I delete requests involving these things, and would appreciate if these topics were avoided when it comes to requesting things. That's basically all my rules with that section.

Don't apologise about the questions I totally get it! I'm the same way and I've been wanting to properly outline these things for a while now, so I appreciate you asking thoroughly. Thank you again for the ask anon!

Overwatch! (video game)

I don't need to worry about spoilers here because it's just Tracer's lore. A high tech ship with new technology sets her adrift through time, and she disappears but doesn't die.

Winston creates the chronoaccelerator and finds her and affixes her with a device that anchors her in their world and lets her use this time disability to help her Overwatch battling.

And then Doomfist fucks her up.

[themultiverseheroines]

"Aww love you too~" said Lena before she sees their destination before them. She begins flying them in to the hanger and begins setting the ship down.

She decides to let Akiza freshen up, while she makes her way down to see Winston coming over. "Welcome back, Tracer. I take it things went well with no issues?"

"None at all," said Lena who was glad of it. "Just glad to be back in time before the party."

Open Thanksgiving Fandom RP (to all fandoms)

"Awesome work, love. I'm glad we got this mission done quickly. It means we can now go back home and get things ready for our Thanksgiving dinner party," said Lena Oxton aka Tracer as she flew the vehicle back to headquarters.

"I hope you'll be ready for it. Winston makes the best pies and knows how to cook the turkey to be absolutely delicious," said Tracer towards your muse as she got excited with eating the food with her girlfriend, Emily.

[emile-hides]

How about some Winston headcanons? I feel like he's the less loved in the community

I can’t IMAGINE why he’s a good ape boy and I love him.

In my AU(?)/Happy ending whatever where all the Heroes just, like, in a compound/commune together as Overwatch soldiers, Winston is the unofficial “official” leader of the new Overwatch. He greets new recruits, gives assignments, calls meetings. He does it all and he’s happy to do it. (Jack is the official official leader, but all he does is thank the families of soldiers for being so brave and patient.)

Winston does his best to understand and communicate with every member of Overwatch. He’s not as all knowing as Reinhardt is on this kind of thing, but he’s doing his best.

Winston spends a lot of his down time with Tracer and Mei, reading or talking about science-y things. He also spends time with Zenyatta talking about everyone’s mental health, he really worries about them.

He’s the only one to beat Zarya in a who can throw this random object the farthest competition. He’s yet to beat her at arm wrestling but it’s CLOSE.

Winston still has Athena as his lab assistant and secretary. He’s working on a body for her, but she keeps changing her mind on what she wants to look like, so it’s taking way longer then he was expecting it to.

[wildwinterlunas]

Fuck it, these are the names for the platonic relationships of Overwatch

People don't talk about these relationships enough and I'm here to change that!!

These are all the ones based off of things I have seen them be called by other people:

Overwatch Heirs - The friendship of Genji, Cassidy and Mercy

Blackwatch Bros - The friendship of Cassidy and Genji

Justice Siblings - The family dynamic of Cassidy and Pharah

Old Soliders - The friendship of Ana, Solider 76 and Reaper

New Soliders - The friendship of Genji, Cassidy, Mercy and Pharah

Overwatch Golden Children - The friendship of Mercy, Cassidy and Pharah

Overwatch Brats - The friendship of Pharah and Brigette

Original Strike Team - The friendship of Ana, Reinhardt, Solider 76, Reaper and Torbjourn

Team Blackwatch - the dynamic between Reaper, Cassidy, Moira, and Genji

Team Uprising - the dynamic between Mercy, Torbjorn, Reinhardt, and Tracer

Shimada Bros - the familial dynamic between Genji and Hanzo

New Blood - The dynamic of Cassidy, Baptiste, D.VA, Pharah and Zarya

Reyes's Kids - The dynamic of Reaper, Cassidy, Genji, Sombra and Widowmaker

Here are the ones I say when referring to they're dynamic in canon:

Drinking Buddies - The dynamic between Cassidy, Hanzo, Sombra and Zarya. This is based off of a spray.

New Generation - The dynamic of Brigette, D.VA, Lucio, Junkrat and Kiriko

Overwatch Graduates - The dynamic between Tracer, Genji and Winston

The Amari's - The dynamic between Ana, Pharah, Sam and Cassidy. Cause in my mind Cassidy in an honorary Amari.

Castillo Siblings - The dynamic of Cassidy and Sombra

That's all I have, if anyone has any ideas for platonic ship names please tell me!! I want to see them >:)

[nitewrighter]

niche ask game: tracer!

a song that reminds me of them: Hazy Shade of Winter by The Bangles

what they smell like: Tracer, sweetheart, I'm so sorry, but you smell like a slightly fruitier (ha) Irish Spring 5-in-1 body wash + shampoo + conditioner + 24 Hour Odor Neutralizer. More notes of honeycrisp apple and vetiver.

an otp: Tracily!!! I don't know why people are so pissed at the prospect of Overwatch members having civilian partners. Everyone is sooooo fixated on shipping the heroes with each other but Tracily makes sense: You give Tracer a romantic interest that reflects the world she wants to protect.

a notp: I used to dislike Widowtracer a lot more but these days I'm just indifferent to it.

favorite platonic/familial relationships: Besties with Winston!! Also I like her kind of complicated, kind of competitive friendship with Genji in my fics.

a headcanon that is popular in the fandom but that i disagree with: I guess all the grumblings about Tracily. But also I've had people send me asks where Tracer is way nosier/way more involved in other characters' lives than really seems appropriate or practical. Like, she's friendly, definitely, she's a major emotional core of the series, but she is also compassionate and a lot more aware than people really give her credit for.

the position they sleep in: She would be "the yearner" if she was sleeping alone but she's just an octopus sleeper with Emily. Very clingy.

a crossover au i’d love to see them in: I'm a little sad that the "cyberpunk" themed season is over because I feel like, given the really old designs for her character, she could have had a really cool skin with it. Like Graffiti could be a cyberpunk skin but with Tracer's leggings and her chronal accelerator they could push the theme in a really cool direction with her.

my favorite outfit they’ve ever worn: Graffiti skin is my favorite!

[docholligay]

Shamash Answers: Some more!

I hope to get a chance to work on these more tonight, and have them done tomorrow so we can draw for SHAMASH DAY

Lena opens a pub called the _____________ and _______________

The Plane and Grain! --Indigo,1 point. I can SEE this pub in my mind.

The Shrimp & Grits They sell neither shrimp nor grits. It's a callback to both her short stature and her enduring love of shrimp crisps, and her "gritty" coworkers at Overwatch -- @rhiorhino AHAHAHAHAHAH incredible

The Lion and Abolish The Monarchy --Q, 3 points. I have no idea how you came up with this but I love you

Overwatch:Something Sad

Pharah not only obviously outlives Tracer a la your universe, but also outlives Mercy and most of the rest of the crew -- Furi,1 point This one’s actually true, for me, other than Dva, of course. Fareeha lives to a ripe old age, like her mother, and Lena of course dies relatively young, depending on how you feel about 36, and Angela is not particularly long-lived, and Winston is, you know, a gorilla, so long-lived for a gorilla, which only puts him in his early 40s.

After Lena is gone, when it's still new and fresh and it feels as though a chunk of his brain and heart have been scooped out, he will sit down on their couch in front of their television in the dark and turn on one of their favorite movies and let himself forget that she's dead. She's just run off to the bathroom, he thinks. It never really works. Except when he falls asleep and he dreams she's still alive and when he wakes up for a minute, just a minute, he thinks she really will walk back through the door. Slowly, he does it less and less until he doesn't do it at all anymore. It feels like she's died all over again.   -- Geeky, 2 points I DO love this, this idea that he tries to will himself to believe her alive again, even for a moment, even with everything else. Then he wakes up and gets up to check on her, only to walk two or three steps before realizing she’s dead. There’s nothing to tell her, nothing to do for her, nothing, because she’s gone for real now. And then it stops being a shock. 

Winston is not able to find a solution to Lena's chronal dissociation. 

Despite his best efforts, he can't save her. She begins disappearing for longer periods of time. Winston continues to work. He unintentionally manages to tether her 'spirit' to the present and to linear time, but makes no progress on anchoring her physical form. This is almost worse. When she now disappears into the ether, she drifts as a wraith through the world, visible to none.

 "I am so sorry, my friend. I won't give up." Lena continues to disappear.

 One month, near Christmas, she disappears again. Days pass. Then months. Eventually years go by. 

 Lena watches as Winston continues to tirelessly search for a solution. As Overwatch falls and then rises from the ashes. As Emily slowly loses hope, accepts that her wife is unlikely to return. As she moves on. As Pharah and Mercy pass as two ships in the night, a relationship unborn without a loud, infectious Brit to make an introduction. 

 As her friends and family age. As they celebrate birthdays. Milestones. New family members. As they die. 

 And through it all, Lena watches. She celebrates. She mourns. And always, always, she is alone. --Seolh, 3 points Wow this is horrifying! Amazing. Well done. 

[clover-watch]

for the character ask thing, tracer

Ayyy thank you, Tracer's one of my faves!

Favourite thing about her: I adore Tracer's personality so much. She's optimistic, and driven, and hopeful while still being serious when she needs to be. Also she has one of my favourite origin stories. As horrifying as it must have been for Tracer to be disconnected from time and blinking out of time/existence, it's great fanfic fuel.

Least favourite thing about her: I have one hell of a hard time killing her in-game. But I know I'm not the only on who has this struggle.

Favourite line: "Tryin' to crash another party, luv?" I really love the Alive short, guys.

BrOTP: Her and Winston. I think their friendship is adorable.

OTP: Gonna cheat and put two ships here. Firstly, Lemon Tea. Emily is a wonderful and supportive girlfriend to Lena and I so badly want Blizzard to give Emily more time in the spotlight. But also, my first Overwatch ship was Widowtracer and I still adore it with all of my heart. Every fic where Lena, Amélie, and Emily become a throuple is a blessing.

NOTP: Tracer x Any Man. Double No for Tracer/Winston, I know that's a thing.

Random headcanon: Lena has no fashion sense whatsoever. Her casual outfits are a mish-mash of whatever she thinks looks cool even if the end result looks like a disaster (not that she cares in the slightest). If you ever see her in an outfit that looks even slightly fashionable, chances are that Emily picked it out for her.

Unpopular opinion: I'm surprised at how many people find Tracer's voice annoying. I think she sounds super cheeky and charming.

Song I associate with them: Super Sonic Racing.

Favourite picture of them: Look at how cute this woman is!
