what do the directors cuts of breach and dragonback look like? I know you've mentioned being burned out on overwatch, so I'll leave a ⭐️ if you'd rather answer that instead.
Ask me about one of my fanfic's Directors' cuts!
The Director's cut of "Breach" is--my brain just put that whole fic together basically as an AMV set to David Bowie's "Modern Love." You know that one Studio Ghibli music video? It would be coordinated to the music like that. Okay, on a more serious note, though, when I first came up with Aedan as a character, I never actually planned on giving him a redemption arc. Honestly my followers were shipping Reidan before I was--I was hesitant to ship my fankids at all because I was still writing out cutesy stuff for them that focused more on like, how parenthood was affecting their respective guardians. But then I dropped Aedan in there about the same time I was starting to draw Rei as a teenager, starting to write out her 'kit' as a hypothetical Overwatch hero, I was starting to write Marti being mentored by Jack. So the kids were basically slowly tipping into that "next-gen hero" zone when Aedan gets added to the mix.
You can all thank @the-legion for Aedan's whole characterization as we know him now, because Legion pretty much hit me with something like, "It's just I always felt sorry for the Clones in the Clone Wars, and I always liked when they became more than what they were made to be. When they fought against what they had been created for." So for me, that kind of morphed into, "Okay wait, Moira's a perfectionist, and also when you become a parent, you have this drive to make sure your kid has the resources and support you didn't--what if Moira ends up making someone a lot more sympathetic than herself." It's so funny though--literally my first drawing of him interacting with Rei was captioned, "Rei doesn't like him," but I think even then I was kind of subconsciously sympathetic towards Aedan because in that drawing Rei's visibly chewing him out and he's just kind of standing there, taking it, albeit in a broody way. Like my earliest iterations of Aedan kind of had him as more of a mini-Moira, but like, as soon as I started writing fics about his actual clone origins, I was like, "Oh--yeah, actually he's very sympathetic."
So Breach kind of became the culmination of that--and it's also like... I didn't want Aedan's redemption arc to come without incredible loss. You don't choose the right thing to do because it's easy, or even because you like a pretty girl, in the end Reaper summarizes it the most succinctly: Aedan chooses what he chooses because Moira gave him everything she never had.
The loss of Rei's dragon also hooks into that, "No redemption without incredible loss" but also that came from a decision of, "As part of maturing Rei's character, I have to force her to experience life outside of Overwatch so she's not just falling into continuing her parents' fight." It was also to demonstrate that there was no way Aedan crossing over from one side to the other would be clean. He doesn't get to arrive in Overwatch to trumpets and fanfare because Rei's still gone through this incredible trauma. De-powering arcs in comics always stressed me out so bad, or sometimes they would bore me because "you're taking away an important part of this character for angst or to shove them to the side" but actually putting Rei through this showed me their general value. It basically kept Rei and Aedan from automatically plunging into their romance after the redemption arc, forced it to more of a slow burn, and, of course, it gave me a chance to kind of, shape that Genji-esque fierce cheerfulness in Rei by dropping her in Hollywood as a stuntwoman while also giving that part of her character a deeper and more mature dimension. And you see that at the beginning of Dragonback.
The Director's cut of Dragonback is me going, "How many 90's teen coming of age/romcom tropes can I jam into these kids' existential crises?" This fic I think came a lot more quickly because there were a lot of elements that I had kind of established in my head--it's Overwatch's first brush with Andrea, it's Rei getting her dragon back, it's Rei and Aedan finally smooching. These were basically dominos that were set up as far back as Breach, they just needed time to percolate with the whole "Rei in Hollywood" bit. I think writing this fic taught me a lot about writing action scenes--I wanted Faustine to basically be a metal gear boss, I wanted Andrea to be terrifying, and I'm basically writing two simultaneous fight scenes which is basically just Genji trying to get to Rei and Aedan. I also knew I wanted to beat the shit out of Aedan as kind of a reversal of him being the 'hero' back in Breach and to also keep the focus on Rei. It's also partially establishing, "Rei doesn't love Aedan because she's dependent on him, but the seed of this whole thing is the fact that they've irrevocably changed each other." Also she needs to save him because #Feminism. I think like... this fic also really helped solidify the appeal of Rei and Aedan as star-crossed for me. Like, I think one of the things that kind of made me hesitant to ship them was the fear of the whole, "Rival families" cliche--like I think this fic's conclusion basically goes, "There is so much that is out of these kids' hands, so much in play that they never had control of since the day they were born, but they get to have this. They get to make this little space."
Also this fic ended up setting up my theory about the Shimada Dragons, which like... I dunno. You couldn't pay me to read about Kiriko, so as far as I care, that's the explanation for the Shimada dragons I'm going to go with.

So a friend of mine told me that given that we are now in 2020, it will be fun if I did a top 20 ships of the past decade for me and boy, did I thought was a good idea and I have decided, why not right? I will be listing them here and...if followers decide to read it...well...
You will quickly notice that probably that most, if not all the ships fall on the following categories: a) rare-ships that are obv not canon; b) ships that are obviously crack; c) ships that had wasted potential, the ones hinted but never happened or briefly happened in canon and writers decided to fuck up. There’s also only one...one RL ship and I am ashamed yet not, but had to list it because I spent a long time hung up on it so don’t judge me.
So yes list...
Before the list, no list is complete without some honorable mentions, these are mostly ships I either got into the hype to recently (not being dedicated for years as the one I will list) or had my fancy then lost it.
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
Charlastor from Hazbin Hotel (recently got into it)
Clack from Final Fantasy VII
Cloud x Squall from Final Fantasy/KH series.
Hayffie from The Hunger Games.
TodoMomo from Boku Hero no Academia.
Gency from Overwatch series ( on and off )
RinMako from Free!
Terraqua from Kingdom Hearts series.
TOP 20 SHIPS OF THE PAST DECADE
20. Spuhura - Spock x Nyota Uhura (Star Trek original and reboot): Again this was another ship that I liked, since the original series, while everyone was Spirk this and that, I was like,’’yas, yas give me the sweet, sweet Spock and Uhura interactions’ and I was happy the reboot hooked them up, even if that ended dubiously but for a glorious moment, I had it.
19. Swarkles - Barney Stinson x Robin  Scherbatsky (HIMYM): This is one of those ships I am bitter, bitter and salty about, there are more in this list in fact next spot is another one. But I loved it and I did think they complimented each other better than the wet noodle they stuck Robin with, they took the time to know the other, grown separately and then together, the episode where Barney proposed to Robin gave me all the feels and it was so sweet, and then fuck the writers deciding to do what they did. It’s no wonder the finale of this show is so hated.
18. Lotura - Lotor x Allura (Voltron Legendary Defender): When they announced a new reboot to Voltron I didn’t think much of it. I had fancied Lotor x Allura in the original series, as dubious as that was, but then I started to watch this Netflix thing and there was something between them, something more tangible and I was happy. It was this strong woman with an equally strong man encouraging her strength and not putting her in the box of the exotic pretty princess, like a certain dude, and wanted to know her mind and interests, they discovered things together and for a brief moment knew peace and I was here so happy that we were getting something good and then fuck the writers again that decided ‘Nah bro, you’re not getting it’ and you know to fuck off again. I will always have fan fiction I guess.
17. VinTi - Vincent Valentine x Tifa Lockhart (Final Fantasy VII series): This is a ship that I think started to like during my second playthrough of the game, I always figured the both could work, both having loved people that for one reason or another couldn’t fully love them back (Lucrecia due to damn guilt and Cloud because of Aerith) and both were mature enough to fit together, I just like them okay.
16. Helsa - Hans x Elsa (Frozen): Truly, I have never made it a secret that I really dislike this movie, I truly do. The only good things were Hans (which I am still huh at the ‘turns out he is evil’ I still call trolls) and Elsa (because of her damn powers) and then the next step was shipping them and honestly, he should have gone for the older sister lmao, they make more sense and there have very nice fiction out there.
15. Yuzuvier - Javier Fernandez x Yuzuru Hanyu (Figure Skating): Ahh, we have reached my dreaded and dark secret only RPF fancy. Be it broship or more, I always liked the friendship and camaraderie these two skaters had with each other, they were rink mates and rivals but above all friends. I was kokoro break when Yuzuru was telling Javi that he couldn’t do it without him and stop it you two. I just like them, they are wholesome.
14. Victuuri - Viktor Nikiforov x Yuuri Katsuki (Yuri!!! On Ice): And here we have another precious figure skating duo when I started to watch this series it was only because it was a figure skating anime and I love figure skating, I never expected to see a wholesome and wonderful healthy relationship to explode in front of me. The relationship between Viktor and Yuuri is just so lovely, so mature, they both worked through issues, grew from them and accepted them even and I can’t I love it. (Special mention here to Yurio x Mila, as is another ship I love from this series and so underrepresented).
13. Jonerys - Jon Snow x Daenerys Targaryen (ASOIAF/GoT): Regardless of the stupidity committed in the series, I have shipped them since the books, because I can read in between the lines and there are too many parallels between them and their journeys, ones that at will some point collide and bring them together in a way that will be worth it, so better make it count George. 
12. Rhaegar Targaryen x Lyanna Stark (ASOIAF/GoT): Yes, mea culpa, I love tis ship and no one can shame me for liking it and boy has people tried to do so. Were these two smart of escaping like that and not saying a thing? Nope, they were so not. Was Brandon smart going to Kings Landing, knowing there was a crazy king with a penchant of burning people and demanding his heir's head? Nope, that was probably the stupidest move of all. Do I want to believe they loved each other? Why not? Martin has a penchant for tragic love stories, I know this ship is problematical for some, but I still love it and if you see spot 10 here, well I have varied tastes.
11. Soriku - Riku x Sora (Kingdom Hearts series): Come on, this is a given. Prior to Kairi appearing, it was clear Sora was Riku’s world and Riku’s was Sora, they were attached to the hip, the rivalry for Kairi more felt like Riku being jealous of Kairi and wanting Sora’s attention back. Then we have KH2 where Sora spent the whole damn game being all ‘Riku, Riku!’ and Riku doing his damn best to help him from the shadows, ashamed to be seen. DDD was more Riku protecting him and Sora leaning on him, even KH3 had Sora wanting to find and reach Riku, and then Riku going once again to find him by the end, so I am sorry but if there was a love story written here it was between these two. 
10. Hannigram - Hannibal Lecter x Will Graham (Hannibal): Quite honestly, from all the things I ship, they are probably what one will consider the most toxic one I guess, which fair considering one part of the ship is a charismatic yet cannibalistic serial killer. But there was something in the way this relationship was developed by Fuller and brilliantly brought out by Mads and Hughs that just hooked me, their soft moments, their violent ones, it just somehow worked for me. I guess this is also one of the few canon ships that I have, funny enough.
09. Rivetra - Levi Ackerman x Petra Ral (Shingeki no Kyojin): Who will have thought that a series about human eating titans was going to give me one of my most everlasting and also shortlived OTP’s. Years can pass by and I will still love this ship, my heart will still believe there was something more between them, something that was realized or something that wasn’t, I don’t know, but I will forever love it and even though years have passed since she died, I always enjoy the hints here and there that he still remembers her or hints where we are supposed to do so.
08. Squinoa - Squall Leonhart x Rinoa Heartilly (Final Fantasy VIII): People can say whatever the fuck they want ‘the love story was rushed’ ‘we hate Rinoa’ (fuck you btw) but it doesn’t change the fact that Squall fell in love with her and that Rinoa helped him to open up, to not take things for granted and Squall taught her to be even stronger and conquer her fears, they helped each other grow and it’s what matters in the end.
07. Feanor x Nerdanel (Tolkien): This is probably, from all the romantic relationships that Tolkien has gifted us, which I have loved the most and held my attention the longest. They have the happy times, the ones that were full of joy when they met and fell in love and had their children, then we have the tumultuous times when he became too obsessed with this craft, the separation when he left with their kids leaving her behind in her pain and then their possible reencounter when he leaves the Halls of Mandos and how they might deal with it.
06. ItaHina - Itachi Uchiha x Hinata Hyuuga (Naruto): Both the heads of two of the most important clans of their villages, both with heavy expectations upon their shoulders that nearly broke them, only one was talented from the start and the other had to learn, yet they are also similar. Both love their siblings to a fault, sacrificing so much for them and their happiness, both seem to hate conflict yet know is necessary and both are devoted and loyal to a fault, they would have suited each other wonderfully, in an AU probably they would have gotten engaged, who knows, but it would have been wonderful.
05. SessKik - Sesshoumaru x Kikyou (Inuyasha): A ship that could have been but that we didn’t have. This is a ship that has been with me for years and I don’t plan to let it go, they were the best players (in a sense) in that game against Naraku, also probably the strongest, both level headed and smart, not easily intimidated and calculating, together they would have been quite a formidable force and it’s a shame we didn’t get to see that.
04. Bethyl - Daryl Dixon x Beth Greene (The Walking Dead): Another wasted potential and gone so soon, not to mention forever salty at the waste. The way they were being developed promised so much, in the few time he was with her, well, she taught him to have faith and it’s something that apparently still shows from times to times (I am not sure as I stopped with this show) and imagine how it will have gone if they had more time. Just a waste.
03. Romanogers - Steve Rogers x Natasha Romanov (Marvel/MCU): I have been shipping them for years, like honestly, and when the MCU was showing me the seeds of potentiality I was happy, not even that stupidity with Bruce killed my hope, as they still had this steady relationship, he trusted her and she trusted him, something that she couldn’t say of many, they had each others back and took care of the other...but again another wasted potential right there.
02. Huddy - Gregory House x Lisa Cuddy (House MD): I spent years, kind of, season after season watching the delicious and lovely UST between these two characters, watching them snark and then help each other, watching the ‘won’t they will they’ dance, waiting for the moment when these two will finally collide and my lord was it glorious when they finally did, and I was eager to see where it went, as they both seemed to be in relatively good places, but no once again forbid the writers to stop House from being self-destructive and another ship I had waited years was ruined.
01. Terrence "Terry" Graham Grandchester x  Candice "Candy" White Adley (Candy Candy): And this is still my most important ship of the decade, I was forever bitter they never ended together and that their authors decided to make them suffer so much, but then Final Story came and all clues were pointing that aha they did found the other again and ended together as they were supposed to be, and before anyone says shizz, I did manage to read the novel and I do believe all hints were there to let us all know the identity of her husband was Terry and I am so happy.
And there it is, all the ships of the decade for me lol. Next stop, I should maybe make a list of mythos ships I like lmao.

Gency Week: Day 7
And the fic is finally finished along with gency week. I forgot how good it feels to finish a multi-chapter fic. It’s been a really fun week, thank you to all those involved for hosting this wonderful week with all its wonderful prompts. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did~
And now, I return to hell in college with my 5 classes ;u; Perhaps one day, I’ll return to work on my next fic series.
Title: Four Halves Make A Whole Theme: Family Word Count: 1873 Rating: G (for God there’s fluff everywhere)
It would not be for another half-decade or so that they would finally consider starting their own family. Angela was all too busy with the ascension ceremony and her studies about magic, along with learning about everything else that was needed for ruling a kingdom. Her husband was fortunately gifted with the knowledge of the inner workings of the streets, allowing him to appeal to the people rather easily. He had that going for him at least.
She felt bad for making him sit in on so many conferences that he hardly had a clue about, with the council people very purposefully using big words and archaic terms to mess with him. However, Genji was not one to surrender easily, or at all. He studied books after books through the nights with his wife snuggled up to him, knowing that he shouldn’t be a useless burden to her forever.
The day that he very offhandedly dissed a counselor’s use of resources and casually suggested a solution that would eventually come to reform the entire system for the better, he was showered with a lot of kisses after the meeting and rewarded for his cleverness with yet another sleepless night, only without the books.
Eventually, there came a day when they found themselves with a king declaring war on them. Or more specifically, Genji for stealing his wife. It was probably one of the potential suitors she had met who got his head so far up his ass that it actually came back out of his neck again.
That being said, the issue of having a significant kingdom declaring war with them, no matter how opposed their people may be, was still rather serious. There would undoubtedly be a battle or two and might end up ruining both their reputations, not to mention their trade routes and any casualties during the battle.
As such, Genji offered to go there in person and talk the man down. While many of the counselors opposed, having finally gained a respect for their king, he left anyway without regardless of what they had to say. Angela was also left behind, left to pout and mope at being left behind and all alone for the first time in a whole year.
It only really took her three days to recall what exactly her husband was and what he could do. But by then, it was much too late to stop him. However, it was not as if she needed to. In the single day he spent in the capital under disguise, he had found out that the previous king had a much more capable heir who was unfortunate enough to be female and younger than the prince. All that remained was for him to cause the prince to look out the window one night and accidentally fall off. His fault for living in such a high castle.
He was very promptly chastised and met with very angry yelling in their room, before Angela hugged him tightly and told him to never leave her without telling her again. Realizing that the problem was not in his plan for the fact that he abandoned his wife, Genji took all the necessary measures to reassure her that he did love her and that he would do it again. A candlelit dinner, a long bath, and even a new set of undergarments which she very generously modeled for him that night.
They had various problems in the following years, some of which they dealt with peacefully and some which were strangely dealt with by some unfortunate accident or another. He had to do some freelancing assassination for other friendly kingdoms as well, to ensure that everyone didn’t connect the dots between the relation of conflict towards his kingdom and a random death of his adversary.
Eventually, things settled down enough that they began to think more about themselves. They had many advisors and trustworthy men and women helping with every aspect of running the country. While their opinion still greatly mattered as the rulers, having others to contribute different ideas and views was very useful. It was an idea that Genji proposed to the council in an attempt to get people more specialized in different fields as to have a better system of balancing power around the throne. Just one of the many things that he used from his time of being an assassin.
Actually, Reinhardt found himself with a new partner, the retired knight turned assassin. They ended up working together as instructors and advisors of the army. With them and Genji, Angela had never felt the need to fear for her life. There was only one occasion when an assassin tried to hurt her. In the time it took for her magic to detect the hostile presence, her two veteran bodyguards had already drawn their swords and her husband was already busy pinning the culprit against a wall to interrogate him about his employer.
And so, they decided to have a child. Actually, they ended up having two. After their first child had been around for a year, they realized how wonderful it was and wasted no time in having another one. The elder one was female, who had a talent for finding her dad despite him utilizing various assassin skills to hide during hide-and-seek. Eventually, he resorted to climbing on top of the roof, much to the amusement of his wife, only for them both to realize that their daughter had inherited flight. Even if only temporarily.
After a near accident that gave them a nostalgic reminder of their past, they began to teach her how to use her skills in earnest. Much to her mother’s disappointment, she took more to her father, opting to learn various combat skills after seeing him practice.
As such, the castle staff soon found out about Genji’s past, something that he had kept hidden from them all that time. It was inevitable that they would question how the eldest child of the Shimada bloodline managed to evade etiquette lesson and got access to the kitchen 24/7.
As for their second child, he was the opposite. Somewhat reserved and opting to be more studious, he stayed by his mother’s side and watched as she used various magic to restrain her rampant daughter and heal up wounds. They soon found that he had a large potential for magic, being able to use the same magic as his mother despite still being quite young.
The two children got along as well as any siblings would, with bickering and bullying aplenty. However, they looked out for each other. Before the younger would gain his confidence as a magician as a young man, his older sister did not hold back a punch to defend him. They were allowed to go to a public academy under the watch of Reinhardt’s friend, though he was hardly needed for their protection. It turned out that the kingdom loved the two children to death, so much so that talking badly about them in the slightest at a bar would be enough to start a brawl. No one wanted to harm them and they got to enjoy the academy as anyone would.
Angela was glad that they got to experience life as kids, not as royalties. She had always been sheltered and felt that life was always so empty before Genji came along. Their children got to experience it all. Crushes, bullying, terrible education rectified by superb tutoring at home, shitty food, and most importantly of all, friendships. It only took their parents a talk with the academy administrator, a close friend of Angela’s father, and the kids proving their own worth for others to see them not as the children of the throne but as children.
Eventually, they grew up and became close to being adults. They began to learn more about their parents' jobs, though it was obviously the younger one who was more studious and diligent in learning about everything.
“Sis, I thought I would find you here. I didn’t even have to use magic this time. Now, will you come to the lesson?”
She simply pouted, flipping backward off the rafters to hang upside down to look at her younger brother. “But it’s so terribly boring. It’s the weekend and I want to go out to see my old friends. I bet they’re out doing something fun, like uhm .. preparing for the festival!”
At the excitement of recalling the upcoming festival, she found herself falling off, only to be caught inches from hitting the ground with a sigh from the brother. “Isn’t it the elder one’s job to watch out for their sibling, not vice versa?” he thought to himself.
“In any case, I’m aware that you have some poor innocent soul that you somehow convinced to go with you but you should ask mom and dad first, should you not?”
“They said it would be fin- Wait what do you mean poor innocent soul? What’s wrong with me asking my best friend to come to the festival with me?”
“Because I know for sure that even if the fireworks went off a million times, you’d never confess your feelings to her.”
There was a silence before the older sister’s cheeks would heat up, punching her sibling’s chest repeatedly (albeit gently, at least by her standards). “H-How do you know about that?? You better not tell mom and dad.”
The younger brother simply smirked, “I took a wild guess. Oh boy, she is really going to suffer isn’t she? The poor girl has been hopelessly in love with you for what … a year now?”
She simply sat there brooding for a bit over that thought before her eyes regained their fire. “Oh, as if you’d be making a move on that girl you like. What was her name again … Elenia?”
His eyes widened, looking around in panic before grabbing his sister by the collar, “Where did you get that name? I was sure we never even talked anywhere near you.”
“Your diary could use a slightly better magical lock and a better hiding place than under the false bottom of your desk drawer.”
Genji would later relay all this information to his wife, who would laugh and hug him tightly, talking with each other through the night about their memories. About all their secret meetings and endeavors, their strange meeting, and that wonderful festival that they could never forget.
Theirs was a strange life led by a strange fate. A princess whose life felt dictated by a single path by her heritage, all but resigned to her fate as being a pretty face for some unworthy prince to claim. An assassin whose life existed in only absolutes, kill or be killed, and the cold, merciless solitude of his path. In a single failed assassination, they found themselves in a brand new life that they could have never imagined. A life of happiness and fulfillment. One where they would never have to spend another night alone or afraid. A life where they could live with their children, watching them grow and become the next chapter of their family’s story.
The love story of a princess and her assassin.

MCHANZO AU WHERE MCREE IS A STUDENT LIVING IN JAPAN BECAUSE HE CAN GET A SCHOLARSHIP THERE TO LEARN WHATEVER WITH HIS RuDEMENTSRY JAPANESE!
Okay so Mcree gets a scholarship to this university in Tokyo with a group from the Overwatch international community college because the boy is a quick learner and took like a year or two of Japanese and can do okay in formal dilect but is kind of struggling with using casual (its the same thing for me even though ive been doing Japanese for four years now). So he’s going to be in Japan for the next five years (one to get a solid grip on Japanese and the other four to get a master’s in teaching/ history (he’s a history buff, tho he’s also game for being a spanish/english/japanese teacher)). And let’s say he’s Twenty for simplicites sake, which puts Hanzo at 21 and Genji at 18. (Also warning in advance, I overuse paranthese.)
In the program he gets into, he gets a host family. In his case, he gets the Shimada clan as his host family. Why does the Shimada do it? Probbly tax evasion, i dont know how rich crime synidates works and i dont really want to find out via irl experiences. 
Hanzo is closest in age to Mcree, so  he’s get put in charge of how Mccree get’s to uni, how he gets lunch, and tries to make sure that he doesnt bring shame to the family name. They find out very quickly that they go to the same University, though for diffrent majors (Mccree in Teaching/history and Hanzo in bussiness/mathmatics). At first he keeps Mccree at Arms length and is always civil though curt at times, but then he learns more about Mccree and starts getting a crush on him which leaves him flustered as hell but eventually he tries his hardest to flirt with him which both works and doesnt at the same time. He has the mentally of the golden child and the “i cant be the scape goat mentality”.
Genji is fresh out of high school and is hitting the rebellious phase full throttle. His hair is a diffrent color each month, he has peircings (probbly clip on/magnet ear rings at first because yeah... japan has stigma against actual peircings and while genji might be a yakuza, he’s a bit of baby), and gets a non-yakuza related tatto every month divisable by 3. (If you think thats child play and are a rebellious american teen, remeber that these thinks are considered pretty taboo. when i was at a very liberal school, my host sister still had clip on earings). He’s both the delinquent who is almost never at school, is asleep when he is there, and parties all night and the straight a student who gets good grades on all the hw and tests. Always compared to his brother. He constantly teaches Mccree cuss words and tries to get him to teach him Spanish cuss words. He acts like a hotshot/hot mess at first but later he reveals that he’s got a heart of gold in there somewhere. He constantly gives Hanzo shit about his crush on Mccree and does the same to Mccree. He’s not sure what he wants to do with his life, but he doesnt want to follow his familes footsteps. He’s also a big gaming nerd.
I should probbly talk about Jesse since I’m doing very deep bits about Genji and Hanzo. Let me just say that Mccree is smart. Thats a fact. He’s got a better than average grasp on mechanics (from hotwiring cars in his youth, fixing his prothestic with minor things, making a motorcycle with Gabe when he was older, and learning a bit more once he realized that there a sometimes Omnics who dont get the help they need), he’s so well trained with a gun that it’s not really a joke anymore when he calls it dead eye, can take apart a gun in seconds, knows how to ride a horse, can cook pretty well, and stealthy as hell when he needs to be. And he’s at least bilingual. These might come as a surpise to those who think he’s just a cowpoke because he doesnt boast much. He was part of deadlock until he was 15, when Deadlock was broken up by the san fran police. He got adopted by Gabriel reyes and Jack Morrison and has an adopted sister who went by Sombra for a year before they finally found out that her name was Olivia.
So we have Mccree thrust into a new family drama which he takes in stride and tries to help where he can. He acts polite and doesnt “disrespect the clan” (he’s speaking formal japanese almost 25/8, quickly learning how to use Kego (the highest form of japnese which reserved for extremely higher ups like company presidents, priniples, gods, and probbly yakuza bosses), correcting any cultural accidents, ect), he tries to make sure that Hanzo gets more friends/and is able to leave his shell (introduces Hanzo to the rest of his group (which consists of Miora, Mei, Zenyatta, Widowmaker, and Mercy who are both in running start), acts competive with him, pesters Hanzo to act childish), he tries to get both brothers some help mentaly/emotionally (at first he tries getting them therapy, but relizes they dont know how bad their mental health is so he has to struggle to give them enough support that they can help themselves but somtimes he had to have interventions with them), and acts like a mentor figure to Genji (encourages his indivually, gives him advice when he needs it, encourages him to seek diffrent routes that the one he’s been given, calmly defends Genji’s choices to his family/the elders).
If i ended up writing this, it would be a hell of a slow burn and have a slight crossover with a comic i really like, Sakana because i remeber I went to the big Fishmarket on my first day in Tokyo. So i guess they would go to the fish market fairly often and interact with Jiro, Taro, and Yuudai. The Shimada bros probbly have some history with Taro because obviously has Yakuza ties. Yuudai is very passive agressive with Mccree but is very Gay about Hanzo. jiro is an anxious man.
Ships that i would probbly include would problly be: Mchanzo, One-sided Gency (from Genj because I dont really enjoy the ship but he probbly whould have a crush when he was younger), Moira/Mercy (when Mercy is like 20 or something and its temprary because that seems like a thing that would end in a year after all the ust and shit stops fueling their realtionship), Genyatta (originally part of the Give-Genji-a-support-system plan that Mccree had but Genji fell hard, either way it worked), Reaper76 (really fucking background because i like them pre-exploding lol), Chie/Jiro, Yuudai/Taisei
Random things I’ve thought of in this au:
Line, the app. Everyone in Japan has this.
www vs lol (they are the same but probbly mccree, mercy, micheal would use lol/lmao while Hanzo, Genji, Zenyatta, Mei use www. Moira and Widow use neither)
genji: your so wise Zen, how old are you
Zen: im 3
christmas, in general.
Mccree helping Genji with his first real peircings
Mccree becoming a teacher at the university for the second generation of  overwatch kids
widow and Hanzo being salty friends while Mei and Hanzo are adorable science friends
everyone hates the crows
Mercy works part-times at the shop Jan works in and tries to help him with his Japanese
ana is the japanese sensei who is helping them, encouraged Mccree to start taking japanese
there is alwaus at least one vending machine mentioned per chapter
trans hanzo
hanzo, and mccree have prothetics

If you were up for it, could you try some Gency + Rei family interactions on the beach?
Yeah sure! I miss the fam. It's been a while since I've done smol Rei content.
----
Rei: *leaning over Mercy's shoulder* What're you reading?
Mercy: *adjusting her sunglasses* Just a grown-up book. You'd think it's very boring.
Rei: *leaning closer and trying to read* haaaav-ing boss'ms...
Mercy: *automatically* No, it's 'heaving bos'-- *catching herself and quickly closing the book* How about we go look for sea glass?
----
Genji: ...think she's okay, doing that?
*distant 'SLAP' of Rei straight-up body-slamming a wave*
Mercy: I mean she keeps doing it.
----
Rei: Can I get ice cream? Please?
Mercy: *hesitantly handing her some money*...as long as you don't swim immediately after.
Rei: *running off* I won't! Thanks, mom!
Genji: Look at you, not steering her towards the cut fruit lady.
Mercy: I can be fun! I'm a fun mom!
Mercy: *pause*
Mercy: Okay, I think she'll get less sticky with a popsicle, are you happy?
Rei: *running back* I got ice cream! And I said 'thank you!'
Genji: Good job, Sunshine! What did you get?
Rei: Pachi-Paleta! It's got gumball eyes and it looks just like Pachimar--*unwraps popsicle and her face drops* Oh....
Genji: ...it's a mutant.
Rei: It's a mutant!?
Genji: I guess you have to eat it really fast to put it out of its misery.
Mercy: Genji!
Rei: IT'S IN PAIN!?
Mercy: Sunneschii, it can't feel pain, it's a popsicle, your father is just making fun.
Genji: *borderline smeagol voice* Pray for Pachimari, Rei. Only you can save me. You have to eat me-- *gets elbowed by Mercy and goes back to his normal voice* Okay--okay, I'm stopping.
Rei: *shoving the popsicle in her mouth on the verge of tears* I'mf forry, Pomfimarfi....
Mercy: *rubbing her forehead* If this comes up in therapy for her in ten years, I'm blaming you.
Genji: Oh yeah, the popsicle is going to come up in therapy, not the ninja-mafia family.

This but it’s Mercy telling Rei her medical hypothesis
Mercy: *leaning over Rei’s bed, pointing to her hand* ...So that’s how nerve endings work. I think it’s wonderful that you’re so curious about it!
Rei: So that’s how the five-fingered palm of death works?
Mercy: ...did Uncle Hanzo mention that to you?
Rei: No, Uncle Hanzo said that’s ‘not a real thing’ but I think he just doesn’t want to teach it to me, so I gotta ask you so I can figure it out.
Mercy: ...
Mercy: Good night, Sunneschii. *kisses Rei on the forehead*

Rajeev: I roll to seduce the dragon.
Samir: Ok, roll.
Rajeev: *rolls* 18, Yes!
Samir: Cool, heads or tails?
Rajeev: Uh, heads.
Samir: *lands on tails* Oh, your the bottom.
Rajeev: I'm sorry WHAT?
Samir: Roll for fortitude saving throw of seventeen or higher.
Rajeev: Fortitude!?
Samir: The dragon's member is about... *checks manual* one foot in circumference. It's literally going to rearrange your guts.
Rei: ...there's no way that's in the manual.
Samir: Sure it is.
Rajeev: *rolls dice* ...eleven.
Samir: *tongue click*
Aedan: Wait--can I cast minor illusion on the dragon?
Rei: Oh--! I still have a spell slot! Can I cast mage hand?
Samir: ...You know, you could just cast 'Raise corpse' on Rajeev after and not waste two spell slots jerking the dragon off.
Aedan: Yeah but... If it means saving our teammate.
Rei: All for one and one for all!
Rajeev: Aw, guys...
Samir: *weary sigh*

Would Rei and Rajeev have noticed the weird vibe/tension going on between Aedan and Akasha when they were having those moments? (Also hey! Just noticed RnR and AnA! How fun!)
Aedan: I just... really hope I haven't screwed things up with her.
Rei: It's weird. I mean, I get why having her chronal accelerator damaged would.. put her back, like that, but it's weird that she seems about the same with everyone else.
Aedan: You think it has something to do with that mission?
Rei: Well, that's when it started, as far as I can tell. But it's not really the same caginess she had when she first came here. It's almost like... she's flustered.
Aedan: *scoff-laugh* Flustered?
Rei: This isn't me being jealous, this is me picking up on vibes.
Aedan: *eye-roll* Well I can hardly see what a malfunctioning chronal accelerator has to do with me.
---
Rajeev: Everything okay?
Akasha: I wish people would stop asking me that.
Rajeev: *patient head tilt* ...
Akasha: I will be fine--I will. I just... need to stay focused and stop picking at the scab.
Rajeev: All right. You don't need to talk about it. I"m just... here if you need anything.
Akasha: Okay.
*long pause*
Akasha: It doesn't count if you kiss someone in another timeline, right?
Rajeev: ...what?
Akasha: I mean, you were dead in that timeline anyway so--oh god, that's horrible.
Rajeev: I was dead!? Wait--who did you kiss--*pause* Aedan!? That's why you two have been so weird?!
Akasha: He doesn't know! I mean there's no reason to tell him since we didn't actually--
Rajeev: I was dead!?
Akasha: Well obviously you're not dead here. See!? This is why I didn't want to talk about it!
Rajeev: *gasp* Was he still evil in that timeline?
Akasha: Yes--I mean--not really? Neither of us were defected---
Rajeev: But that means that's a timeline where you successfully murdered me and Samir. Oooohhhh what if Rei was still a Talon guinea pig or dead there?
Akasha: You are morbidly excited about this.
Rajeev: Wait, if Samir and I are dead, then maybe that means the watchpoint went full lockdown and she never got kidnapped, which might be why Aedan never defected---
Akasha: Look it doesn't matter! I don't--I don't want that reality.
Rajeev: *putting his hands up* Okay--okay-- *pause* So is he a good kisser?
Akasha: Rajeev!

Rei having accidental rizz. She can't flirt to save her life but in the process of standing up for/protecting a classmate, said classmate develops sparkly shojou vision while looking at Rei.
She definitely gets that from the Ziegler side--especially the bit where it's mentioned that when Rei gets angry, she looks just like her mother.

okay hi i have a lot of prompts and stuff to suggest bc i am the person that spent all night reading the kids continuity fic
- aedan and rei domesticity they are so cute
- aedan growing stubble, running out of razors, asking the twins for a razor and they flex and say they use hard light razors. then aedan having to ask jack where the razors are because he doesn’t know (this would probably be around the time he asks him about reaper LMAO)
- marti aim training with amelie?
- obv there’s already been a lot of gency but maybe some of them talking about rei and aedan and being nosy
- more genji pleeeeease he’s so cute <\3
Argh I have a really strong Marti idea but I've got a bit of brain burnout and my idea for her doesn't really match what you're describing and also I haven't written Aedan and Rei in what feels like ages and I miss theeemmmm. Also I like the idea of having some kind of... honeymoon post-Dragonback stuff and also Live Mercy Reaction.
-----
The afternoon sunlight was blazing outside, but Aedan could hardly tell with the windows tinted. He was chewing on his thumbnail as he watched a holographic projection of Andrea's cells. The sample wasn't nearly as stable as he'd like, given the fact that it was mixed with his own blood, but Morrison and Reyes's DNA at least made it easy to quickly distinguish the cells before they morphed back to nanites. She was virtually gone from his system at this point, so he knew any creeping feeling of her still in there had to be purely psychosomatic.
He managed to identify and isolate one of Andrea's neutrophils before it was destroyed and scan it quickly enough to create a rough holographic projection, and he rotated the projection in the air, frowning. He heard the whoosh of the lab doors opening behind him and said, without turning around, "Do you think I could get a blood sample from Morrison?"
"Maybe if you sneak up on him," a voice that was clearly not Mercy's spoke up from behind him and he glanced over his shoulder to see Rei holding two bento boxes.
"...thought you were your mother," he said blankly and Rei made a crinkly-eyed, pressed-lip smile at him, "Sorry--that was weird, wasn't it?"
"Not that weird," said Rei, setting the boxes down on the desk a safe distance from the monitor's keyboard and pulling up a chair, "It's nice that you finally have more lab privileges."
"You missed a lot in LA!" Aedan spun in his chair slightly to face her, "I mean, Marti and the others definitely trust me more than the old guard, but still, there's been a lot of progress!"
"'People will let you experiment with their blood' progress?" Rei arched an eyebrow.
"Well... no. But I was thinking I might be able to delineate the effects of the SEP serum better and isolate the stabilizing factors of his DNA if I have a sample," Aedan had fallen back to his previous train of thought.
"You've been at this for hours," said Rei, looking at the hologram.
"I just... wish I was able to find out more before my body destroyed all evidence of her," murmured Aedan.
"Well, what do you know so far?" asked Rei, looking at the projection.
"I know she's stable--incredibly stable."
Rei snorted.
"Well not mentally, obviously, but cellularly. I've never seen such seamless transitions between nanite and cell. I mean I thought her nanite secretions weren't as prominent as mine because she wasn't working with a biotic rig, or--you know, because she was kicking my ass, but I think mum managed to really perfect the metabolic processes with her," he made a kind of flailing, spread fingered gesture at the white blood cell hologram with both hands, "Just... specimen."
He felt Rei's hands lightly but firmly close around his shoulders
"Should I be concerned you're gushing about the girl who collapsed your ribcage?" Rei cooed, rubbing her thumbs at the tops of his shoulder blades, "And her perfect, perfect cells?"
The initial touch gave Aedan an involuntary shudder, but he melted into his seat as she worked at the knots at the back of his neck. "A lus na gréine, you have nothing to worry about. She's my sister from another amnio... nister... tank..."
"Okay that is low blood sugar talking." Rei slipped her hands from his shoulders and grabbed one of the bento boxes, plopping it in his lap, "Eat." She grabbed her own chair and bento box and sat down.
"It's just.. a weird relief in a way," he said quietly, still looking at the hologram, "One of the reasons I was made was to help try and find ways to stabilize Reyes. But if anyone's going to save him, it's her."
"Yeeahh it is a weird relief that she's going to save the guy who wants us all dead," Rei agreed, stirring up her own box. Aedan saw green. Some kind of salad?
"...I don't think he wanted you dead," Aedan said.
Rei looked up from her own bento box to him.
"There was a moment back in Urdr when we were shuffling through in those stolen uniforms, you were still a bit drugged up. He looked right at us and I could have sworn he knew it was me, he knew something was off, but he just... let us go."
"Well he must have changed his mind if he's sending Daughter Dearest after us," said Rei, taking a bite.
Aedan scoffed. "He could barely look at me knowing what I was, there's no way he would agree to--" Aedan caught himself and his face dropped, "...there's no way he would agree to Talon making another him."
Rei's chewing slowed. "...so it's messing him up just as much as Jack, probably?"
"Probably," Aedan shrugged.
"Eat," Rei said again, pointing at his bento box with her own chopsticks, and Aedan shuffled his chair slightly away from the holo-monitor closer to her, opened his own box, and started eating across from her. It seemed to be a loose interpretation of a sushi bowl, brown rice and surimi and edamame, with extra greens and a sliced up hardboiled egg on the side, all drizzled with sesame oil and soy sauce and doused with furikake and red pepper flakes.
"Avocado..." Aedan said, "The Californians got to you."
"Don't knock it. You need monounsaturated fats," said Rei.
"I'm not--thank you, for making this," said Aedan. He took a bite and immediately felt the calories hit in the only way they can when you've forgotten to eat for a lot longer than you'd care to admit.
"It's just tossing a bunch of stuff together in the mess hall, it's a lot better equipped than it was when I was a kid, really," Rei held up the bento box, "But I had to bring these from home."
"Back home with the folks, huh?" Aedan perked up in his seat, poking around.
Rei huffed through her nostrils, choosing her words as she chewed. "It's nice... " she said slowly.
Aedan considered leading with 'But..?' to prompt her to say more, but decided humor might be the better route.
"Ah, but you've tasted the freedom of Hollywood," Aedan waved his chopsticks around, "And so the tinseltown dreams have taken roost in your heart. Your soul forever unsatisfied until you're once again in the dazzling spotlight."
Rei snickered. "I was a stunt. And... it was weird. Using all my training to.. pretend to fight--even if it was as my childhood hero. And like, the whole time I had this nagging feeling that even if I could make a career out of it, I'd always feel a hole where the dragon was. And I felt like... everyone back here was throwing themselves into danger while I was licking my wounds and bouncing around in silly costumes. But now I'm back here and... I don't know. We fly everywhere. We go on these missions, but the world feels smaller somehow. It feels like a wall's come back up."
"You're telling me that squatting on a rocket launch facility and traveling pretty much exclusively for missions feels limited compared to having free rein in one of the biggest cities and entertainment capitals of the world?" Aedan smiled.
"Okay, when you put it like that--" Rei cut herself off to chew some more surimi.
"I felt the same way about Oasis," Aedan shrugged, "Even if it is a young city, it's done everything in its power to draw the greatest minds from all over the world. One of the tourism boards wanted to bill it as 'The New House of Wisdom' except that got shot down because it felt a little archaic, potentially orientalist, possibly muscling in on Baghdad's tourism... and also like it might be inviting disaster. But, point stands, you felt special while you were there. Chosen."
"And you miss all your fancy 'son of the minister of genetics' perks," Rei smiled.
"Not nearly as much as I used to, these days," said Aedan, "I might either be going crazy or Jack might be onto something about that 'building character' stuff."
Rei snorted. "Maybe I'm just being weird about moving back into my childhood room."
"Well I should let you know that in your absence I've upgraded the dormitories into quite the bachelor pad. Convinced the twins to put in some hard-light privacy dividers, moved some of the extra beds into storage...the holo-projector was always in there, but I have a couch now!"
"Aedan O'Deorain, are you inviting me to your place?"
"Door's open," said Aedan, shrugging.
Her mouth just quirked off to one side in a smile and they both continued eating, letting that percolate in the air between them.
Rei was scraping up stray edamame beans and bits of furikake from the edges of her bento box when she noticed Aedan had set his empty bento aside and his attention was drifting back to the giant hologram of the neutrophil, his expression hollow and searching. He had pretty much inhaled his food, which was good, but Rei had seen enough of Marti, Samir, and her own mother to know when someone's brain had driven them into a rut that they weren't going to get out of without help.
"You know, if she's already out of your system, it's not like you'll find new data now that you can't find later," said Rei.
"Mm?" Aedan looked back at her.
"You need a break," said Rei.
"But---there's the flow factor," said Aedan.
"Oh, the flow factor," said Rei, rising from her seat.
"And like, yes, this is probably trauma talking, but I want to feel like I came away from that fight with a bit more than memories of a giant hole in my chest."
"Aedan," Rei braced her hands on both of his forearms on the seat's armrests, "We did."
She looked at him expectantly with those big, dark gray eyes, and his own eyes widened. Technically, it had been a mission accomplished. They had set out with the intention of getting the dragon back, and, miraculously, they had gotten it back, even if it was far from the circumstances any of them actually imagined getting it. Surviving an encounter with Talon when none of them were really equipped for that level of combat was nothing to sneeze at, either.
And there was the other thing, Aedan thought, as Rei's mouth closed on his.
Surimi and hard-boiled egg, in general, are not the optimum pre-making-out foods, and Aedan honestly could have used a nap and a shower in either order, but after hours of staring at blood samples and holograms of the woman who had nearly killed him, just the sensation of having Rei on his lips made none of that matter. That itch wasn't gone from the back of his mind, though. He wanted to do more, to claw just a little further ahead in this fight, to find something that would turn the tide. He wanted the fight to be over. He wanted the world to feel open for her--for her to go to LA or Oasis or wherever she wanted, to not have to worry about everyone back here.
She sank into his lap and his arms wrapped around her, letting even those stubborn thoughts melt away, if only for now, if only for a few moments. He hefted her up in his lap and he felt her breath puff out of her nostrils in an amused sound--maybe he was adjusting her to get to a more comfortable position, maybe he wanted to get the point across that he had put some muscle on with Marti's team, but either way she dove into the kiss hungrily. Aedan's arm curled around her more, trailing up her back, as his other hand brushed down her hip.
And then there was the vwoosh of the lab door opening.
"Aedan, I'm going to need to commandeer the holo-projector from you for a minute, one of my colleagues sent---" Mercy glanced up from her tablet to see Rei and Aedan, staring at her, tangled up precariously in one swivel chair.
"...Rei," Mercy said, straightening herself up in the doorway.
"Mom," Rei said, not making any movement to get out of Aedan's arms.
"Eh--" Aedan squeaked, sheet white with ears redder than his hair.
"I can come back later," Mercy said with a terrifying blankness.
"Mom--" Rei started, but Mercy put both hands up as the door whooshed close in front of her once more.
Aedan's heart was pounding in his ears. "She's going to kill me."
"She's not going to kill you," Rei rolled her eyes.
"She's going to kill me," said Aedan, his mind blank with terror.
"Aedan, we're adults, it's fine."
"You didn't tell her!?"
"I was going to tell her," Rei gestured vaguely, "You know... when I figured out how."
---
Genji was at Athena's main monitor browsing through some old Blackwatch files when the door opened behind him. He caught the barest reflection of her silhouette before turning around and brightly greeting her with, "Angela!" before quickly realizing that she was panting hard and her hair was disheveled. "Did you... run across the Watchpoi--?"
"When were you going to tell me?" Mercy's voice was almost a growl.
"Tell you... what--?""
"Our daughter! And the clone! I mean--the boy! Moira-clone-boy!"
"Aedan," Genji said easily.
"They were in the lab... c-canoodling!"
"Canoodling?" Genji repeated.
Mercy huffed out a tense breath, "...kissing," she clarified.
"Oh," said Genji, visibly relaxing.
"Did you know about this?" Mercy briskly closed the distance between them.
"Well... emotions did get a little high in Shirakami-Sanchi, but it wasn't really relevant to the mission debriefing."
Mercy just folded her arms in front of him.
"And... I figured it was Rei's business to tell you."
"Well yes but--" Mercy caught herself, now coming to terms with the fact that she had raced over her out of an outrage that she was far from being able to articulate, and the more she thought on it, the more (frustratingly) her sense of her right to outrage seemed to slip away from her.
"I feel like we've had this discussion before," said Genji.
"We said there was a possibility, that's very different from them making out in the lab."
"Oh no! Not the lab!" Genji said with clear amusement, "No one's ever made out in that lab before!"
Mercy's shoulders slumped and she looked at him sourly.
"I'm sorry---" Genji caught himself, "Obviously, I've had more time to come to terms with this, and I was there when things... started, sort of--"
"What do you mean 'sort of?'"
"Well it's in the debrief that both Rei and Aedan were missing from our campsite when they encountered Andrea. Rei's debrief says she was going back to the pond to try summoning the dragon again, and Aedan's debrief said he had headed away from the camp to relieve himself, but... I'm not ruling out the the possibility that they also could have snuck off together."
"They were sneaking off together under yours and Hanzo's noses!?"
"Honestly with the state Rei was in during that whole trip, it seems pretty unlikely that they were doing that," Genji murmured.
"Genji..." Mercy pressed her knuckles to her forehead, the burn of outrage now simmering down to exhausted frustration.
"Look--don't worry about that. What I'm saying is, when we let her go off to LA, we agreed we would trust her judgment, right?"
"Yes..." Mercy said slowly, lowering her hands.
"And you do like Aedan--I mean, I know it's been hard for you, overcoming everything you know Moira is capable of, but you two really have come a long way since he's joined the team."
"He is a good lab assistant," Mercy conceded, before muttering, "Though clearly he's gotten a bit too comfortable in that lab."
"Plus... it's not like we can really judge on the whole 'falling in love with your rescuer' thing," Genji stroked a knuckle down her jawline.
Mercy's lips were pursed, but a smile was tugging at the corner of her mouth as she glanced off.
"And if it's any consolation, I know he's still terrified of you," said Genji.
Mercy snorted. "It is fun to put the fear of god into him," she mused. She paused, still not meeting his eyes, before sighing and slumping her forehead onto his shoulder. "I'll be fine," she said, her voice reverberating against his cybernetic chestplate, clearly trying to convince herself just as much as him, "It will be fine. I can be calm about this."
"You really ran across the watchpoint, huh?" Genji brought his arms around her and rubbed her back a little.
"...yes," she admitted, and he just chuckled and set his chin on her head.

May I ask for some interactions between Aedan and either Genji or Mercy post swivel chair makeout sesh? Haha!
Ahhh yes! I'd love to!
---
Aedan: It's just... I don't want to overstep.
Genji: You're not overstepping.
Aedan: Really?
Genji: Well, I'd be a bit more careful about what you're doing in the lab, but other than that, you and Rei are entitled to your relationships, and your happiness.
Aedan: Are--are you sure?
Genji: Mm-hm. Rei's more of a romantic than I really allowed myself to be at her age. It's nice to see.
Aedan: ...oh. Well, I'm glad you think that.
Genji: Plus, as far as overprotective, intimidating male guardian figures in her life, I'm pretty sure Hanzo has me covered.
Aedan: *glances over at Hanzo*
Hanzo: *DEATH GLARE*
Aedan: *gulps*
---
Mercy: *silently working in the lab* ...
Aedan: *silently working alongside her, visibly sweating* ...
Mercy: Could you--
Aedan: MY INTENTIONS WITH REI ARE HONORABLE.
Mercy: ...
Aedan: *panting*
Mercy: I was going to say, 'could you pass me that stylus?'
Aedan: *handing the stylus over* Right. Yes. Of course.
Mercy: *takes the stylus* We don't have to talk about it.
Aedan: I don't know... shouldn't we?
Mercy: *not looking at him as she works* What is there to talk about?
Aedan: I thought we were really getting better, and now I feel like you're treating me like I'm fresh out of Urdr again.
Mercy: It's just.. one of those things I need time with.
Aedan: Yes but I respect you, Doctor Ziegler. Working in this lab with you really makes me feel like I have a place here, that I can actually begin to undo the harm my mother's done. It means a lot to me.
Mercy: *glancing over at him* ...'but I love Rei more?'
Aedan: Frankly, Doctor, I don't see my feelings for Rei or my esteem for you as opposing forces.
Mercy: *pauses*
Aedan: *steady stare*
Mercy: ...no, I suppose they aren't, are they?
Mercy: *resumes working*
Aedan: *hesitantly resumes working alongside her*
*long silence*
Aedan: ...I--um-- meant to ask earlier, do you still have that paper on Gutierrez's theory on artificial bone marrow replication?
Mercy: *not looking up from her work* I'll CC it to you... if you fix another batch of that cardamom coffee.
Aedan: *small smile*

I just finished reading your kidfic after seeing your recent posts about the fankids here on Tumblr, and I'm so happy I did! I really felt invested in them as characters, especially Rei and Aedan (both on their own and as a ship). If you're looking for more prompts, I'd love to see more of the kids interacting with the non-parent agents like Tracer, Dva, or Lucio!
Ahh I feel like it's been a while since I did fankid interactions!
---
Zarya: I noticed someone has been getting into my protein powder. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you, ptichka?
Rei: mmm... nope! Nope. Don't know anything about that.
Zarya: Of course. And I'm sure it is a coincidence that the break-ins always seem to happen right after your training sessions with Hanzo?
Rei: Oh come on, you basically have a silo of the stuff! You can spare a scoop!
Zarya: I can, but ninja or not, you have to ask.
---
Tracer: I'm glad to see Morrison taking someone new under his wing. He hasn't done something like that in ages! I think it's good for him.
Marti: Who.. was the last person he did it for?
Tracer: Me! Hopefully he won't let you think he's dead for five years!
Marti: ...you guys are never going to let him live that down, are you?
Tracer: Definitely not.
---
D.Va: Oooh! The twins! Can you read each other's minds?
Samir: There's nothing to read--
Rajeev: *overlapping* He's thinking about butts.
----
[If Aedan has his Talon Labtech or Oasis skin equipped]
Aedan: Professor, are we still meeting tomorrow? I had some questions about the texts you recommended.
Sigma: Oh--Oh dear. I'm afraid we'll have to reschedule, Aedan. It would seem Mr. Ogundimu has need of my skills with some thorny issue abroad. He was sparse on the details, but I shall help in any way I can.
Aedan: Oh--Well... be careful out there.
Sigma: *chuckle* Don't worry about me, dear boy. Just give those readings another look, I'm sure you'll have it figured out by the time I get back.
----
Lúcio: Man, I knew Vishkar was messed up, but it sounds like those orphanages are a whole other level...
Jaime: I'm still going to go back for the others. I have to. I don't really know how, yet, but someday.
Lúcio: Well, when we figure that out, I'll be right there beside you.

Ooohh May I ask for some more Aekasha interactions, Mun? :0c
Like after Akasha tells Rajeev, would she finally fess up to Aedan about why she's been on edge with him lately? Would Rei find out? Would she take it into stride? :000
Akasha: ...and that's when I woke up. Or... came back. I don't know.
Rei: Wow...
Akasha: And--and I need you to understand, when that happens to me--I mean I don't really know how many times I can say it happened to me--But when you're in those times you just... kind of roll with things. If you fight it, things--start getting scrambled, so you just...
Rei: So he kissed you.
Akasha: Well he wasn't your Aedan.
Rei: Ooh, my Aedan, I like that. So what did my Aedan say?
Akasha: I--I haven't told him yet.
Rei: *blinks*
Akasha: I--I didn't it want to seem like... I was making a move. Because I'm not! He's been very kind to me. You're... both my friends.
Rei: Well tragically, by Shimada rules, we have to swordfight for his hand, now.
Akasha: ...
Rei: ...which was a joke. Don't worry about it. Look, go talk to him. Seriously. He's been thinking you were mad at him or something this whole time. Don't worry about me. You have my blessing.
Akasha: ...that's it?
Rei: Do you want to swordfight for his hand?
Akasha: No--just... I guess I don't know what I was expecting.
Rei: We know you care a lot about us, Akasha. We do trust you. And like you said, that's another timeline. And I'm sorry that this was clearly bugging you for so long but you felt like you couldn't talk to us about it. I mean I get why you wouldn't want to talk about it, but still. I wish we could communicate that to you better without just repeating 'are you okay' all the time.
Akasha: Th-thank you...
Rei: Also I don't know if you've picked up on this yet but like... everyone is always super curious about your weird time stuff but they're all too scared to ask you about it because it fucked you up so bad for so long.
Akasha: I know! I told Rajeev he died in that timeline and he was still like 'Oh wow you think Rei was still alive?'
Rei: Was I still alive?
Akasha: I DON'T KNOW.
---
Akasha: So... that's why it's been difficult for me to talk to you.
Aedan: ...wow.
Akasha: ...looking back it all feels a bit stupid, now. Like, I know it's not this time--
Aedan: Akasha, your chronal accelerator was malfunctioning. That's not stupid, it's traumatic for you. We all know that.
Akasha: Yes, but there was all the--the other stuff!
Aedan: *distantly* Different lives...
Akasha: Do you think about it sometimes? Who you'd be if you never defected?
Aedan: Sometimes... though, to be honest I hadn't really considered myself an eligible bachelor to Vishkar. *pause* What was I wearing?
Akasha: That's what you're curious about?
Aedan: I'm just worried my mum's still picking out my outfits in that timeline.
Akasha: *snort*
Aedan: ...to be honest though, there is a lot I miss about my old life. The food, the music, the clothes--it was definitely cushier. And they were very good at making your future feel secure, even if they weren't telling you how many dead bodies it would take to get that future.
Akasha: ...I had killed more than just the twins in that timeline. I knew it. I could feel it.
Aedan: *glances up at her*
Akasha: No one we know but--that doesn't matter.
Aedan: It was a version of yourself you once thought you wanted, but it's not what you want now.
Akasha: *fidgeting with her hair* yeah...
Aedan: I know what that's like. For what it's worth, I like the Akasha in this timeline just fine.
Akasha: I like the Aedan in this timeline, too.

Hanzo: Why are you spinning the kunai on your fingertip when drawing it? Rei: Kiriko said that's how cool kids do it. Hanzo: Well don't, it's a wasteful flourish. Rei: Kiriko said that's what a nerd would say. Hanzo: >:(
Rei: *eating donuts*
Mercy: Are you sure that's a healthy post-training snack?
Rei: *mouth full* It's fine. Kiriko said the Fox spirit give her the power to synthesize the necessary nutrients out of any food and my dragon heals too, so....
Genji and Hanzo at the same time: What?
Rei: *chews slowing* ...can we... not do that?
Genji and Hanzo at the same time: ...no.
Mercy: Biotics don't do that, certainly.
Genji: Do you have any idea how many hangovers I could have avoided in my 20's if the dragon could do anything like that!? *glances at Hanzo and Mercy* Er--I--I mean, nutrition isn't magic, Rei.
Rei: *sighs, lowers donut* So it's just the fox?
Hanzo: To be honest, I'm not even sure that the fox does that.
Rei: *folds arms and huffs* Foxes are tricksters.
Genji: My theory is she's just a picky eater but is really embarrassed about it because it's hard to come off as 'cool and low-key' when you're constantly sending food back in restaurant environments. So she just says the Fox metabolizes everything for her while barely eating anything and taking a bunch of supplements.
Hanzo: *glances at Genji*
Genji: I was able to meditate on much with the Shambali.
