Big Triple Threat HC Post

Putting under a read me bc ooooohhhhhh boi y'all...

My duo (Reaps and Gabi) is still written from my POV of 2016 before all the lore stuff for him/them dropped. Like, from 2020 on, I haven’t added anything new to them. Sure HC wise but nothing including the new lore. Like, I’ve added Martina as Gabi’s ex-wife, sure…but I haven’t changed my old 2016 backstory for them up to fix that. Hell, I don’t even care about it and kinda wanna trash it altogether. My bois are mostly HC based anyways.

And a new idea came to my mind while searching through the reaper tag on tumblr. Came across a post that talked about the errors within OW’s lore and Gabi’s lore itself as well…blizzard doesn’t know him. Is he a villain bc of racial motives forcing him to be or is it just lore getting retconned bc they’ve moved away from what it was before bc of how OW2 has turned out so they gotta change shit to fix it? Like, the post was saying “why would Gabriel kill Antonio/the leader of Talon just to then join Talon???” bc what Talon stands for goes against the motives that were revealed to us and later reinforced in reaper’s “Code of Vengence” story. Yet it still doesn’t explain why he’d join that organization entirely.

Which got me thinking of what was revealed to us in that story as well as certain interactions we got in OW2 for Reaper.

Martina and their son.

Who mentions them?

Widowmaker and Sombra.

Sombra: Wanna know what Martina's been up to? Reaper: Not interested. Sombra: Hmm, that's not what my tracker says.

She knows.

Widowmaker: Are you ever tempted to contact your wife? Reaper: No. Widowmaker: Afraid she would try to kill you? Reaper: I'd be surprised if she didn't.

They both know of her. While we know little to nothing about her besides the fact she’d try to kill Reaper on sight or otherwise upon seeing Gabriel again.

How would those two have known about her? Sombra can hack and get that knowledge sure - I don’t think she’d personally share it tho…use it more for blackmail than sharing with the team…but Widowmaker? Perhaps Martina was part of Overwatch during Widow’s time before becoming blue/purple lady of murder? How likely do we wish to believe that though?

What if…the only reason Gabriel joined Talon was because of blackmail. Threats to his (ex)wife and son. Particularly from Moira, Max or Doom - more likely Moira but less in a “I’m openly threatening you” and more of a “this is a subtle threat that you know I’ll follow through on” and the “you” is Gabriel. What if that’s the reason Gabi and Reaps are separated? A deal made between Gabi and Moira for Reaps to remain with Moira to do with as she pleases so that Gabi could return to Martina or at least be promised she and their son would be safe? I always HC’d that Gabi and Reaps hated each other (Gabi hated Reaps bc of the shit he did as him and Reaps never had a solid reason for hating Gabi tbh…I couldn’t think of a reason…until now).

However, if Gabi made this deal he and Moira (along with Widow and likely also Sombra) know that Martina likely wouldn’t want him back. Whether because of what he did being revealed to the world from Blackwatch and she being disgusted at that, it being revealed he was the terrorist named Reaper but now he’s “better” or whatever. With that knowledge, Gabi doesn’t return to her. Not in a way that he would’ve preferred. He keeps an eye on her and their son, from a distance. He’s a better father dead than a father that’s been alive the whole time and couldn’t be there for his family for sometime. Least, that’s what he tells himself.

Meanwhile, with Reaps…his hatred boils. His own host betrayed him and left him at the mercy of the red headed devils talons….which held no mercy. He’s further experimented on, his abilities enhance and get better…for worse tortures. Reaps could handle what Moira did to him so long as Gabi was there. It was a shared burden. Now it’s his burden. His alone. Alone. He was alone. While Reaps did know those he worked with, he didn’t know them. He knew their names, their faces, the way they smelt…but did not know them. That was Gabi’s job, to know others. Now he’s thrown to the wolves with no backbone to stand with.

It’s worse for those within Talon as well. The Reaper certainly wasn’t always a friendly person…nearly never was in all honesty. However…when the separation happened and things furthered with Reaps….there was a hollowness about The Reaper. There was obvious hatred within him but also an emptiness. Something was taken from him - no, it. That wasn’t a man anymore. That was Death walking amongst men. Were they blessed or cursed for that? Only time would tell.

That Death was a ticking time bomb, waiting to explode. One interaction away from going off and killing everyone it deemed it. Perhaps not even an interaction but a day….a time….a smell….a feeling? Who knows really.

A curse disguised as a blessing it must be then.

---------------------------

Funnily enough, I always had Gabi sort of reluctant to interact with anyone post the separation because "I did shit I'm not proud of….they have no right to forgive me for what I did and I don't expect them to. I was still there, still present to a degree even if I couldn't stop it from happening." and that's why he was closed off or otherwise terrified to see Ana, Rein, Jack, Cassidy, Genji, etc etc again bc "you dont need to forgive me and i dont expect you to but i am not that person (anymore)". He's so riddled with cPTSD and nightmares that he uses coffee or other caffeinated sources to stay up, losing a lot of sleep to the point of passing out which worsens his nightmares….which starts the process all over again. He's so fucking traumatized by what he did as The Reaper that he can't go back to normal life. Moira knew this. She isn't worried about him ever coming after her for what she's done to him or Reaps. He cannot function in the world anymore. At least he won't be able to for a long ass time and with the right help.

---------------------------

This is why I like the HC that Reaps needing souls isn't about souls. It's about a soul. Gabriel's soul. Reaps needs him to survive, the others are just a source of torture Moira can use against him. A way to keep Reaps "in line" by taking or giving souls as she sees fit.

That's why I like Wraith being the thing that ties the two together in the Triple Threat verse. They're trying to keep the peace but also trying to get the two not to kill each other (more so keeping Reaps from killing Gabi). Reaps bonds with Wraith well enough. Reluctantly at first ofc as "oh its just another me that was abandoned, huh? how many more is he gonna separate from himself until he's satisfied?" and Wraith knows this. While Wraith is typically portrayed like a child - new to the world and everything….it's more so a way to distract Reaps from his murderous thoughts to - hopefully - teach Wraith how to be like him. At least, how to use the nanites better than like "i want them as a complete carbon copy of myself".

Another angsty thought while we're on this topic: Moira having someone keep tabs on Gabi just in case Reaps does anything, they can just swoop in, grab Gabi and he is at Moira's mercy - which she has none of.

So, Gabi got out to protect Martina and their son but now Reaps technically (albeit not to his knowledge) has the choice to protect or condemn Gabi based on his actions.

While Reaps does hate Gabi for the choice he made, Reaps wouldn't want Gabi dead or tortured because of the choices he - Reaps - made. They need each other even if neither wishes to admit to it.

---------------------------

Because Gabi was the first to have been essentially bonded/host for Reaps…he would have that bond as there are still nanites within Gabi as most of his body isn’t…well, there. So, those nightmares he has? Are a combination of events of the past and current going ons. Reaps holds so much hatred towards Gabi abandoning him that it flares that connection up and sends all these dreadful emotions, thoughts and memories to Gabi. As Moira’s torture/experiments continue…the anger shifts towards her as she’s starving Reaps of souls to the point he’ll kill anyone who steps into his cell…which he’s done to Moira’s assistants several times now. Those memories - murders - are nightmares Gabi has. He’s never seen those assistants before yet he knows it’s real. Nothing that graphic could be faked….and the feelings and memories that came with it…

Essentially, after the separation for some time, Gabi has horrible as fuck nightmares bc Reaps is projecting that shit to Gabi without knowing then it calms down when Reaps’ anger switches over to Moira but when Reaps kills and consumes a soul, those moments, and feelings and memories are transmitted to Gabi as nightmares.

---------------------------

Intimate/Relationship HCs

Reaps:

While Reaps isn't the most intimate person, if at all. If he does form a close bond with someone and he trusts them...they're more likely to see underneath the mask than others. Moira is the only one that knows what he looks like without the mask but she's not a trusted person to him. His appearance has changed since the last time she saw him, though.

He'll allow only those trusted to 1. touch his mask 2. take the mask off & 3. touch his face

Hand-holding will never happen. Don't ask. He won't do it and he won't ask for it.

If he's concerned for someone he's reluctant to give any kind of physical reassurance because of his claws. Now because he's afraid he can't be gentle because he can be and he knows he can be. It's the knowledge that those hands have murdered and he's now using them to touch someone he cares for or otherwise is concerned about to some degree.

If he ever has to use his nanites to heal his partner, he's reluctant to do so. He's used them to kill, never to heal - save for himself. Reaps isn't entirely sure how his nanites will react to others in a nonviolent manner.

Reaps' way of showing he cares is....likely not ideal for most. It's silent or little things. Things you might not even think are ways he'd show it or even ways people show they care. He's not a big PDA or gifts type of being. It's the little things. How his partner prefers the AC or heater set to and always makes sure it's set to that, always setting their alarm if they forget to do so, making sure they get their medication if they take any, etc etc.

He'll notice the smallest of changes in his partner's behavior and adjust accordingly. He'd likely have these memorized before it even got to the partnership level as being close typically means guards are lessened between one another, yes?

While Reaps holds an air of intimidation and murder....if you touch his partner with the intent to harm or maim....you'll get it back tenfold. Don't flirt with his partner either. Do not touch that which Death has taken as his own. Reaps possessive asf and also super jealous.

He doesn't like sharing - yes, he doesn't like sharing in the Triple Threat verse too. Only shows he cares/his affections towards the person in that verse when Gabi and Wraith aren't around. Sometimes when Wraith is around...never when Gabi is around. Reaps can't show Gabi his soft side, not after what he did. Literally just Reaps holding a grudge bc he's a petty bitch lol

Gabi:

Physical contact is a must. It's mostly as a reassurance that his partner is there. They're there and they haven't left him. They're real. They're real and physical.

While he's typically the big spoon, sometimes he needs to be the little spoon. Typically when the nightmares happen is when he'll roll away from his partner. He does so to distance himself but also to not harm them in case he fights back in his sleep - which is on the rarer side.

Gabi still cares for his ex-wife, Martina, and while she may not be keen on wanting him around...he still visits her...well, more so he keeps an eye on her from afar. It's paranoia on his part. He needs to see for himself that she's still safe and alive along with their son. So, if his partner cannot stand him needing to know that for his own sanity...the relationship will not work. Moira isn't known to keep promises exactly so he fears for Martina and their son's safety.

It'll take a lot of work to even become close to Gabi, let alone become his partner. With the cPTSD, nightmares, and who knows what else he has going on...it'll be a lot of patience and understanding from them. However, once that happens, they're likely stuck with him now lol. You made it past his walls and his flaws, you ain't leaving now lol

Gabi will show he cares in many forms. If he's had a particularly rough time with nightmares lately then he'd be more materialistic with his love. Gifts with little notes to show his appreciation. However, if they haven't affected him as much lately, then he's more verbal with it. "Thank you, Cariño.", "I love and appreciate you, Cariño", etc etc.

Gabi's handwriting isn't perfect or pretty by any standard...however, in comparison to Reaps...it's significantly more legible than Reaps' handwriting.

Wraith is in-between Gabi and Reaps if it were even possible? Theirs isn't the best but it's not as bad as Reaps.

Out of all three, Reaps has the worst handwriting. Mostly attributed to his claws in all honesty.

Have some HCs and angsty shit. Under a read more as…this is long but also….oh boy if y’all didn’t have feels before….you won’t have them after this because they’ll be hurting.

So, all living things have a “soul” right? We could argue that Wraith and Reaper are just “sentient nanites” which…in a sense they are. However, does that mean Omnics are just robots that have “sentience”? And I mean that as “able to understand the emotions of those to the point of having those same emotions themselves”. Cause we always say “oh robots can’t feel pain” or “robots don’t have emotions!” but we have Zenyatta and several other omnics that put those statements to the test. Yeah, they’ll be some who still stand by those statements and won’t ever see omnics as “living beings” (take King Row graffiti for example).

But, all living beings have souls. At least we can surmise that in this universe because of Reaper’s old ability where the death of heroes dropped their souls (and Zenny boy dropped one!).

Who did Reaps originate from? That’s right! Gabriel!

Who did Wraith originate from? Correct again! Gabriel!

How is Gabriel in the triple threat universe? Exhausted!

Why? Because his soul was split three ways! Wraith and Reaper have a piece of his soul. So, naturally he doesn’t have a lot of energy within his body to function like most normal people. He’s missing 2/3 of his soul! He only has a third of it! Of course he’d be heckin exhausted all the time! He’s working with a fraction of what he had now!

However, even outside of triple threat universe…his soul is still shattered/severed. In his and Reaps main verse, Gabriel’s soul is split in two. Now, this isn’t an exact split either (for both verses). So, some of Reaps memories get mixed in the half of the soul that goes to Gabriel and some of Gabriel’s memories get mixed into the half that goes to Reaps.

Which is why Gabriel has the nightmares he has and why he blames himself for the things Reaper did. He doesn’t know it’s a memory of Reaper. Well, he does but he feels he was conscious at the time Reaper was doing such things and he just never stopped him. He blames himself…but there wasn’t anything he could’ve done as he wasn’t conscious for those memories. Those are entirely memories Reaper has during their time with Talon.

Reaper actually attempted to protect Gabriel from those horrors by making him “sleep” so he wouldn’t remember them…lotta good that did. As when they split and went their separate ways…Gabriel got some of the more graphic memories in the half of the soul he received.

Back to triple threat. Wraith got a mix of Gabriel and Reapers memories. Good, bad and ugly. They have a majority of Gabriel’s later memories. Timeline sense….that’s after Gabriel receives news of his mother’s death. Gabriel knows of his mother’s death and thinks he still has family; a father and two sisters. He doesn’t know they’re dead. Reaper and Wraith both know though. Since Gabriel is asleep a majority of the time, they don’t have to worry about him asking where they are. Sometimes he asks about them (mostly to himself) and one of the two give a reply along the lines of “they’re doing great. Your father won a bingo match the other day!” or something just to appease Gabriel for the time being.

The memories Wraith got from Reaper are….unsettling to say the least. So much carnage. They could hardly believe that Reaps was capable of such destruction. Deep down they knew they could end up like that for better or for worse. That’s why they stuck closer to Gabriel and also why Gabriel was so protective of Wraith. Neither wanted another Reaper on the loose. One was more than enough.

Reaper and Gabriel also received memories from Wraith! Reaper saw essentially his relationship with Gabriel before everything went to shit. It was….comforting for him.

Gabriel saw all the shenanigans he and Wraith got up to before everything went to shit. Pranking Jesse and Genji. Annoying Moira. Bugging Jack, Ana, Angela and Reinhardt. Fun times with his found family. Which is why he wants to reconnect with them…even if some or all of them would rather see him dead for what he did.

Wraith is their connecting strand in triple threat. If Wraith is lost…they’re lost.

Perhaps that’s why they’re so protective and concerned for them….even more so with the threat of Moira out and about. 👀

Yes, that’s exactly why.

However, if Gabriel were to…be disposed of….well, the other two will fade away with time. Which is why when Wraith and/or Reaper take control of Gabriel…they get stronger but it comes at the added risk of losing Gabriel for good. While their combined regenerative abilities are quite formidable…there’s still a limit to it. A long or hard enough battle could spell the end for all three of them.

Reaper is the body. Wraith is the mind. Gabriel is the soul.

They can live without their body. It’s taken hit after hit….eventually it would go down. But they’re still standing, they’re still fighting on.

The mind can stop working. That’s fine. They’ll be kept alive by other means.

Under no circumstances is the soul ever to be destroyed. If it is, it spells doom for the body and mind.

What is a body or mind without a soul?

Nothing.

“It is a bad thing! I’m literally a carbon copy of Gabriel, if he’s so attractive to you all...go after him instead. Wraith is also the same damn thing. You’re all just so thirsty for the fact there is essentially three Gabriel Reyes’ walking around. Where was this attention before everything went down?”

Okay...he didn’t need to bring that up but he did anyways. Reaper was turning this into an argument one way or another apparently.

Ray's picked up a lot of combat and self-defense skills from watching and being taught by Reaper, Reyes and Wraith.

send your headcanons about my muses/our muse’s relationship, and I’ll react to them. || Accepting

Can confirm that at least two of those three taught Ray how to fight in some capacity.

Gabriel definitely wanted Ray to be better protected for both their sakes. He's more anxious for Ray's safety considering he's been spending time with all three of the terrors.

Wraith knows how Gabriel fights so they're more than capable of taking over that when Gabriel hibernates for the month or needs to take a break.

Reaper...his methods are...harsh...and likely not a method Ray wishes to learn. Not everyone can do them either as harming - killing - someone isn't something anyone wishes to do...but also because it's not easy for the average human to...dismember someone without help from tools of some kind? So, instead, Reaper teaches Ray about the many ways to escape capture. Chokeholds, handcuffs, zip ties, etc etc. Mostly so he can bully Wraith and/or Gabriel while doing so...but still.

All in all...Ray learns quite a bit. At least in theory. In actuality? Who knows with the three terrors.

“ kiss the pain away. “ -Brann to Reaper. Maybe his augmentation is hurtin' him or somethin'

domestic kisses + sentence starters || Accepting

"Quite bold of you, knight." Reaper wasn't going to leave him suffer by himself. He also could quite literally kiss the pain away....well, it's really his nanites helping solve the issue but still. He's never tried to use his nanites on anyone else but Gabriel or Wraith. So, it's quite a leap to use them on Brann especially when it's the knight's augmentations that are hurting. This entire thing could go badly.

"Though, not as bold - risky - as I'm currently being." To be fair, Brann even coming to Reaper for help is risky in and of itself. With a soft sigh, the wraith leaned in and placed a soft kiss upon the knight's skin, closest to the augmentation that currently hurts. A small swarm of his nanites caressed the area, trying to soothe the pain away.

'Don't screw this up...'

This needed to happen. This had to happen. It was the only way to ensure his demise and everyone else's survival.

"Do it, doc. Pull the trigger and put an end to the Angel of Death, the Reaper of Souls. This madness can end right now if you do it. You'll never have to worry about another massacre."

He was an easy kill. Already severely injured from the previously mentioned massacre. He’d gotten careless which caused the injury. Though, if she wasn’t fast enough....it’d only start all over again. Would she prefer to put an end to this bastard so he couldn’t take anymore lives or would she prefer to see him live another day?

One life for many sounded like quite the fair trade. Especially since all his previous victims would find peace afterwards.

Ray's just doing his best to be good to his spooky/edgy boyfs because they deserve it~

And they love and appreciate him! All in their own ways, of course. Gabriel and Wraith are the ones who have an easier time with it. Wraith still has difficulties in understanding what is the best course of action but they try their best! Reaper has the hardest time with it as he’s been so conflicted and mistreated that it’s difficult to find the right words, the right actions, the right anything for the situation in his opinion. He’s trying his damnedest as well though.

Okay, so some of y’all know that Wraith was born from consuming Gabriel’s soul until it eventually killed him, yeah? Well, new headcanon/lore time~!

So, because Wraith was essentially made manifest from consuming Gabriel’s soul albeit accidentally....they’re able to see other people’s souls. Reaps has something similar in the sense of seeing peoples memories via their souls (even if its the tiniest piece of it). However, Wraith’s able to just see what makes up someone’s soul. The good, the bad, the evil, the nasty, whatever you wish to call it. They can easily tell a person’s character this way. This is why in the Triple Threat verse, Wraith wants Reaps around. They see a sliver of - maybe not ‘good’, but something redeemable.

Wraith has absolutely no idea what the meaning behind all the flowers are but they’re happy nonetheless.

Gabriel is surprised by the bouquet mostly because he’s never been given one but also because of the array of flower choices. He’d have to look into what each of the flowers mean in order to better understand.

Reaps doesn’t touch the bouquet, but he appreciates the gesture anyways.

"So....Wraith? Do you remember me? Use to be errr, a friend of Gabe's. Don't know how much you might y'know...know f'me n'all."

"I know who you are! Gabe never stopped worrying about you even when he was in danger." Wraith chuckled softly, those were good memories. "I was the...idea created during Blackwatch as well as the thing that barely managed to keep Gabriel alive after the explosion." They shivered at the memories, "However, he ended up in a coma simply from the extensive damage he suffered that I couldn't heal."

They hated those memories. They couldn't know if Gabriel would survive or just become another that'd get taken off life support at some point. "At some point, he came out of it. Angela helped his recovery both during his coma and afterwards. We barely get separated now after that...although he has been pushing me to make friends outside of him and Reaper."
