Glitch Drabble & Guest Art

A brief return from the void for a quick and dirty collab with the inimitable @illegulanger. Somehow, a year later, they still find us to be good company.

Enjoy.

Widowmaker walked into one of the mansion’s common areas to find Sombra seated cross-legged on the floor, comms device in hand, watching the evening news. She was dressed oddly - more oddly than Sombra was typically dressed - and when the hacker turned her head around to see who had just walked in, she realized why: Sombra was wearing the full regalia of a local police officer.

“Sombra,” Widow said, nodding at her attire with a thin eyebrow arched in curiosity. “Where did you get that?”

“Get what?” she asked, smiling with the mischievous innocence she’d become so known for.

“Sombra,” Widow replied, rolling her eyes. “Please don’t make me.”

“Oh, this?” Sombra replied, feigning shock as she looked down at herself, the starched blue vest looking exceptionally dapper if she did say so herself. “I found it.”

“Found it.” Widowmaker raised an eyebrow slowly. “Where did you ‘find’ it?”

“Oh, you know,” Sombra shrugged, looking casually off into the distance. “Around.”

Widowmaker’s eyes were drawn to the television where a ‘Breaking News’ alert was being issued. A small, half-naked man was standing before the newscaster, arms wrapped around his torso as he explained through chattering teeth how he’d been speaking with a nice young woman helping him fix his malfunctioning radio when he’d been knocked unconscious out of nowhere. When he awoke, he’d been stripped to his underwear with a note stuck to his chest that just said Sucker.

“Was this a premeditated attack, or just a crime of fashion?” she newscaster said, turning to the camera with a slick, amused smile. “More at 11.”

Widowmaker took a deep breath, shifting her eyes to meet Sombra’s grin.

“I see,” she replied, looking the hacker over from head to toe.

“And?” Sombra prompted, looking back at her expectantly.

Widowmaker sighed, but couldn’t keep the smile from creeping across her face. “And it looks excellent on you.”

[1] Moira O’Deorain - Unannounced

(Aka that blisteringly vindictive Sombra vs. Moira Widowmaker revenge fiction). Here it is, Glitchfic off-brand style: Part one of Moira’s arrival at Talon’s mansion. Something’s deeply disconcerting, and we all know Sombra’s unable to let sleeping data lie.

Set in the same dynamic of Glitch in the System because I’m familiar with it. This will probably go way off the rails but I’m having too much fun to care.

It was one of those rare nights in which all four active members of Talon had taken the time to set business aside and relax for an evening; Akande and Widowmaker reading some pretentious French drivel while Gabriel played some game on his computer. Sombra, of course, was making good use of her idle time by trawling the internet for whatever curiosities she could dig up on a cold January evening.

It was strange, really. The concept of family was never one Sombra particularly cared about, and her loyalties to Talon as a whole were tenuous at best, but having shared so much time with Akande, Gabriel, and Widow at this point, it was hard for Sombra to admit she didn’t feel some semblance of affection toward those moments in which they were just normal folks sharing an evening around the fire.

“Gross,” she said aloud, half in response to her idle internet surfing and half in response to her own emotions.

“What?” Widow asked, eyebrow raised over her book.

Sombra flipped her hard light screen around.

Widowmaker grimaced at its contents. “I should have known better than to ask.”

“Yeah, you should have,” she laughed, slinging one leg over Widowmaker’s as she lounged backwards against the opposite armrest.

The sound of the doorknob rattling called everyone’s attention to the front door. Gabriel looked at Akande.

“Are we expecting someone?” he asked, setting his handheld computer down on the side table.

“Not I,” Akande replied, frowning.

“It’s late,” Widow said, likewise looking perturbed.

“Misplaced pizza delivery?” Sombra asked hopefully.

The door swung open, carrying a blast of icy air and a tall, thin redhead inside with it.

“That’s not pizza,” Sombra said, pushing herself up on her elbows to peer over the back of the couch. “Are we being robbed?”

“Moira,” Gabriel said, ignoring Sombra’s quips and standing ramrod straight as the elegant woman with cheekbones resembling the sharp points of icicles stepped inside, closing the door behind her. “What are you doing here?”

“Good evening to you as well, Gabriel,” she replied, tone only slightly patronizing as she shucked off her coat and hung it among the others in the nearby closet.

Akande, now standing along with his colleague, stepped forward. “I’m sorry, Moira. We weren’t expecting you. Did you tell someone you’d be coming by?” he asked, and Sombra’s eyes darted between Gabriel’s nervous expression and Akande’s guarded tone.

Book folded around a slender finger and pressed against her lap, Widowmaker said nothing.

“Do I need to announce my visits?” she asked, her tone light, but her words unmistakably weighted. “It’s been a long time, Akande. I wanted to see what everyone was up to. I hear my services are needed - it is easier to work together when we are all in one place.”

“Perhaps we can arrange a briefing in the morning?” he suggested politely. “It’s a bit late for casual business.”

“Too late for business?” she clucked her tongue. “Have you gone soft on me, Doomfist?” She laughed and shook her head, taking a seat across from the couch Widowmaker and Sombra were occupying, to the left of Gabriel’s chair. “You have a new recruit.”

Sombra unhooked her legs from where they were laying across Widowmaker’s thighs, swinging them to the floor so that she was upright and facing the woman. “Not that new,” she said, tilting her head to assess her.

“You will have to forgive me,” Moira replied, smiling with the congeniality of a hawk. “I’ve been wrapped up in my own business for some time and have not been able to keep up with Talon’s more recent endeavors.”

When it came to first impressions, Sombra placed a lot of stock in what lived behind one’s eyes. From Gabriel’s haunted look to Akande’s detached assessment, it was, if not a flawless frame of reference, a useful litmus test for the way a person viewed the world - and how they expected the world to treat them in return. Taking that, all one needed to do was add a pinch of empathy and some well-crafted sentiments, and getting into the good graces of a stranger was a simple enough bit of social engineering to accomplish.

But...Moira? Moira’s expression was cold. Unreadable. Where even Widowmaker showed an unreachable depth behind her golden eyes, Moira possessed a calculating void. She knew who she was, of course, now that someone had placed a name to the face. Stories of her scientific endeavors coupled with what damning intel Sombra had managed to drag from the black annals of Talon’s database painted a particularly sinister context to the crisp lines of the geneticist’s smile.

Moira was the embodiment of cruelty.

“We’ve all got work to do,” the hacker replied, standing and offering a casual greeting along with her outstretched hand. “Sombra.”

“A woman with no last name?” Moira replied, standing as well and taking her hand firmly in her own. “Not very trusting, are you?”

It was framed in jest, but Sombra knew social digging when she heard it. She’d perfected it, after all.

“In my line of work, trust gets you killed. Or worse,” she shrugged, hand dropping back to her side, “found.”

“I have heard of you, Sombra,” she said, inflecting her name in a way that was hard to take as anything but a challenge. “You blackmailed the Volskaya woman.”

“I’m good at making friends,” Sombra replied, watching Moira’s expression closely.

“I can tell.”

“Sombra is one of the most talented hackers in the world,” Akande interjected, clearing his throat to cut the tension in the room. “We can always use more scientists working toward the betterment of humanity. I look forward to combining your joint expertise to Talon’s benefit.”

“As do I,” Moira replied with a smile that extended no farther than the sides of her mouth. “It’s nice to finally meet you, Sombra.”

“Igualmente,” Sombra replied, smiling through a deepening sense of unease. Gabriel and Widowmaker remained silent observers to the conversation - Widowmaker’s expression cold as a winter night and Gabriel’s filled with uncharacteristic discomfort.

Sombra decided rather quickly that she did not like Moira O’Deorain.

🍎 An Applin a Day

Pairing: Kieran/Florian

Summary: According to folklore in the Galar region, if you give an Applin to somebody you like, you are confessing your feelings and ensuring a happy future together.

Of course, it isn't always as easy as giving someone one Applin. Sometimes, you have to try a little harder.

Or, Kieran gives Florian more and more Applin until he finally realises the reason why... If that time even comes, at least.

My silly little entry for @kitakami-kid 's shiny Applin contest! I'd already had an Applin-focused idea in mind, so I decided to hurry it along a little in time for this lmao. Hope everyone enjoys it!
