Hi there! May I request Cassidy with an s/o who can easily fluster him? Thank you in advance if you do this!
“You love it.”
Cassidy x Reader
W/C: 850+
A/N: YESS, I love Cassidy requests, sadly this is the last one I have (feel free to send more 👀) I’ve been obsessed with Overwatch recently especially Cassidy and Hanzo. One last funny little thing that I wanna share. So basically the way I write his accent is a just quietly talk to myself while I’m writing because I have a southern accent myself. Just thought it was a lil funny thing to share.
Also this isn’t proof read AT ALL. I wrote this in a couple periods of school.
Cole loves complimenting and flirting with you as often as he gets the chance to.
But as soon as you throw a compliment back at him he is a flustered mess.
Typically he's just fine taking a compliment from someone like another agent in Overwatch but when it's from you?
God help him.
Whenever he’s flustered he’ll pull his hat from his head to cover his face and take a moment to collect himself before even thinking about replying to you
It’s literally adorable.
Claims to hate it
He loves it.
He’ll glance over them and claim that your words don’t affect him
They most definitely do.
It was around midnight and Cassidy still hadn’t managed to find his way into bed. He had returned from a mission earlier and had meant to go home hours ago to change, shower, or even just to see you. God, he always missed you. Instead, he sat on a part of the counter in the base's kitchen, lights out, eating some cookies that Brigitte had made for all of Overwatch to enjoy and enjoy he did.
They were amazing, perfectly cooked but still a nice chewable, gooey texture to them with the perfect amount of chocolate chips and hit the spot at this time of night. If he was being completely honest though, he hadn’t realised how late it was getting to be. If he had he would’ve scurried his way home by now.
Though, the silence in the Overwatch kitchen at night was a weirdly comforting thing. The curtains were open just enough to bring in the perfect amount of moonlight to illuminate everything so that you weren’t tripping over stuff in the dark.
After a couple more cookies Cole had finally decided to pull out his phone and check the time which had read to be almost 1:00 AM. Determining that it was already far too late for him to be awake he decided on one last cookie before he would finally make his way to your shared bed for the night.
He pulled his last cookie out of the jar before taking a bite out of it as he realised your figure stood in the doorway, “Hey sweet pea, what’re you doin’ up at this hour?”
You left the doorway making your way closer to Cole. He noted that you were in pyjamas meaning that you had already been in bed as your voice came out in a groggy tone, “Someone had mentioned that you were back from your mission earlier today, I hadn’t seen you so I came looking for you. Missed your handsome face.”
He internally thanked that he had left the lights off when he came in here earlier, had he not the only thing to hide how embarrassingly red his face was currently would’ve been his hat. The hat which he wasn’t wearing currently.
There was an outline of a smile that came across your face, you weren’t able to fully see his reaction but you knew the effect that your words had on him. He was always the one who flirted with other people, never the other way around so when you threw his words right back at him the reaction was nothing but the best. He took a second to gather himself before he even thought about replying to you.
“Sorry, I hadn’t been lookin’ at the time. I meant to come n’ see you earlier. I kinda got caught up with Brigitte’s cookies, these things are amazing,” He praised the cookies while taking a bite out of the one he had grabbed before he noticed you were in the room.
You shook your head in agreement, hopping up on the counter next to him, laying your head onto his shoulder, “You thinking about heading to bed anytime soon?”
“Just ‘bout to after I finished this last cookie,” you let out a small hum of acknowledgement to his words looking up at his face, “Somethin’ on your pretty little mind sugar?”
You shook your head, “Nothing just you, all the time.”
All he could do was sigh with a smile on his face, the blush of his face much more visible with the closeness of the two of you, “Can’t be just sayin’ stuff that.”
“Yes I can, and you love it.”
As always if you enjoyed my masterlist is here

UH HI TELEPORTS BEHIND YOU.
would u be willing to write reader comforting cassidy. my mind is set on “i can fix him” mode rn i need to hold that man
HAHA certainly, I’ll give this a shot :]
Comforting Cassidy
Mind you, Cole Cassidy is far from being a dependent man. He enjoys his life and how far he’s come, likes what he’s got going. Gets a kick out of being a hero, really, even if that is a bit selfish
But that doesn’t mean things don’t get to him every now and again
A reputation can be a man’s greatest curse, and Cole has quite the ledger dragging behind him.
As much as he leans into the things he does now, figuring himself a better man— though a lot harder than robbing banks, he’d often say. But that just meant the work is worth it— the past never quite lets go, even if he did.
The Deadlock gang was just becoming more of a nuisance every time they happened to find him. He couldn’t help a smile for the nostalgia, but as time ebbs on it starts to get old
His involvement with Blackwatch wasn’t entirely his fault. At least, not in terms of all their wrongdoings. He just wanted to do right, but Reyes turned out to be quite the conflicting role model
And then Overwatch ended up disbanded after he’d already walked out. It’s what the world had wanted, apparently. Every news story preached about the fall of these “terrorists”, something he took to heart a little when his name kept getting used as one of the bad examples.
He knew he hadn’t been the best person. He couldn’t deny the things he did, but that’s why he had come to Overwatch— to try and make up for those things by enacting Justice for others.
So while he’d been doing a whole lot of trying for the last several years, he sure was getting a whole lot of shit for it. Still. Even when he was beginning to believe his good deeds were finally outweighing the bad.
So, yeah, it got to him sometimes. A recent headline, CRIMINAL MISTAKENLY EXPOSES JUNKER HEIST, ESCAPES POLICE SHOOTOUT — which was no accident.
He’d slipped a tip to the head chief when he’d run into the man at a bar, having intercepted a call between some other wanted felons. There was a literal recording of the conversation in the envelope he’d left— what part of that was “mistaken”?
When their troops didn’t arrive, Cassidy took it upon himself to hold them off until they finally realized he wasn’t bullshitting. Yet when help finally came, he was roped in with the bad guys, and he was shot at.
Adrenaline and frustration makes for one hell of a drug. Even through the fray, he didn’t stop taking down the junkers until he was positive the police could handle what was left of them. Then he fled.
He’d had to take off his hat and wrap it carefully into his serape, ducking behind a dumpster just around a building to tie his hair up— then glancing down to realize he’d been shot through his side— and slipped away from the scene through an alley. He held the bundle of red cloth between his arms like a football, covering where he’d been hit.
It was a lousy disguise, but the hat made for a pretty recognizable target when he’s being pursued. Hiding it lowered his chances of being approached, despite the soft clanking of peacekeeper in its holster.
So he’d managed to limp all the way back home, a temporary apartment just in the outskirts of the city. Your car was parked by the curb across the street— home early. Damn.
He came inside and you greeted him as normal, but noticed quickly the hard look in his eyes and the sweat on his brow. There was a scrape in his prosthetic, a dent in the armor of his chest, and a growing dark spot in the bundled serape.
Your worrying was always endearing, he just hates being the cause for your fret.
“I’m alright, pumpkin, just had a bit of a tussle-“ he’d try to tell you gently, a blatant lie that sank like a rock in his throat when you’d spotted the bullet wound.
You hurried him to lay on the couch, fetching some medical supplies you kept under the kitchen sink. Treating bullet wounds was a skill he’d had the misfortune to teach you, this wasn’t anywhere close to the first time he’d been shot since he met you and it absolutely wouldn’t be the last.
He could do it himself, but you had more careful hands than he did.
You demanded to know what happened, and he gave you the rundown. He always made sure to reiterate these encounters as if he were telling an exciting story, glorifying his actions like he were some kind of superhero.
This often lessened your concerns, but you still didn’t like when he gets hurt. You weren’t going to try and convince him to stop, though— you knew he was likely going to remain on this road until something eventually gets in his way
And then you asked a question he most commonly lied about.
“Are you feeling okay?”
Thus his default response, “Course I am, darlin’. Why wouldn’t I be?”
A soft smile, and a kiss. But you always had your suspicions that he didn’t want to be open about what was really going on in his head.
Surface level, he really was okay. He didn’t need to talk about this things, what did it matter if he knew he’d never be deterred?
But a couple hours later, seeing that damned headline from the events of today, you actually caught his solemn sigh from where he sat at the edge of the bed, glaring into the screen of his phone that was far too bright this late into the evening.
You caught sight of the large capital letters and his troubled stare, but the screen went black and his gaze softened the moment your hand touched his back
“You’re allowed to be upset.” You told him, “You’ve got no reason to pretend around me.”
“Caught me, huh?” He offered half of a smile, but it was tired. He couldn’t meet your gaze anymore.
You pulled him to face you, embracing him as tightly as you could, and told him that he was a good man. He hugged you back, though far more gently than the way you tried to squeeze him
He would chuckle to you, “I know, I know,” then wait a couple moments before finally giving in, starting with a defeated, “…it’s just…”
He rambled a bit about his frustrations, and how conflicted he felt about himself at times. He knew he was doing the right thing, but what was most important was if he felt it was worth it— right? Was it worth it?
You would assure him that, yes, he’d done more than enough. He should do what makes him happiest— only to have him make a sappy joke about being with you in response.
“I’m serious.”
Another sigh, he sinks into your hold. “Yeah, yeah… I hear ya.” it was just hard not to deflect.
He felt your hand come up to his head suddenly, and you thread your fingers through his hair to pet him.
He melts. Comically, he pushes all his weight on you until you’re forced back onto your elbows, his face in your chest. He’s happy to hear your laugh
You both get into a more comfortable position, but you keep combing your hand through his hair. He has your waist trapped in his arms, sealed against him, and his eyes are closed.
“Y’always know what to say,” he murmurs eventually, “my lil’ corner of good in the world. How’d you manage that?”
“I know you. It’s not hard to guess.” You tell him, “And… you don’t owe me your thoughts Cole, but I hope you know I’m here for you. You can always talk to me, you know?”
He takes a while to finally nod against you, a grunt being a weak acknowledgment that he understood. “Jus’ hard, a bit. But I gotcha.” He presses a kiss into your jaw.
“We’ll get there.” You say patiently, and he grins.
He wasn’t a dependent man, but damn it all if he didn’t enjoy leaning into you like this sometimes. With you, he knew he’d do better for himself too.

Could I request headcannons with Cassidy, Hanzo, Genji and Reaper with a male s/o who's really anxious? I've has really bad anxiety lately and I'd really like this, thank you!
Overwatch Headcannons with an anxious male s/o
TW: mentions of anxiety, overwhelming thoughts, throwing up, panic attacks,
A/N: Hi anon! I’m really sorry for the late response, life has been a little too busy lately, and I have been suffering from good ol’ writers block. point is, I’m back! I hope you like these head cannons! I tried my best!
also…I hope you’re feeling better! I understand completely how you feel, anxiety is truly something hard to get through and deal with, and nobody should ever have to go through that. My dm’s are always open if you want to talk about it! I hope you’re ok anon! you can get thru this, ur not alone!
With all that being said, here you go !
Cassidy
- Now, cassidy isn’t the smartest of the bunch, but he was able to detect your anxious tendencies from a mile away.
- Initially he thought you were just jumpy.
- But after looking into it a little more, he finds out that you have anxiety.
- It wasn’t like Cassidy hasn’t experienced his fair share of anxious hiccups, he knew what it was like.
- To an outsider, it may seem unexpected that a man as put together and suave as Cassidy could have an anxiety attack.
- But it was true, he cracks every now and then, just like everybody else.
- However, Cass never had anybody to comfort or help him through it.
- He feels terrible watching you cry. His heart breaks for you.
- and unfortunately, Cass is quite awkward when it comes to comforting crying people.
- Back in highschool, when his partners broke down crying—what he usually did was stare them down and cough at the awkward silence until they stopped. In short, he did little to console them.
- He was determined to help you get through this though! Especially when you were comfortable enough to open up to him about it.
- And because of that, he tries his best to help you through it.
- (Sombra is definitely confused when she snooped in his search history)
- “How to help anxiety person”
- He probably cracks some goofy jokes to keep everything lighthearted.
- He’s a good person to have around when you need a distraction from your thoughts.
- Over time I feel like he’d become more skillful at comforting, now that he’s more knowledgeable on the topic.
- He knows when to be serious though, if you were to have a panic attack, he’d drop everything and just hold you close to him.
- He’d reassure you that everything is okay.
- “I’ve gotcha darlin’. Let it all out.”
- You’re with him now, after all.
- likes to wrap his arms around you, while gently stroking your head.
- even when he’s busy with overwatch business, he finds time to stay supportive.
- Now, when you guys first started dating, Cass was really big on going out.
- He’d take you out to have a drink at the bar, to the movies, karaoke, etc.
- All very loud, bustling and lively atmospheres.
- but then, he noticed the way you shrunk from the crowd,
- he noticed how you’d get overwhelmed by all the different noises and unwanted stimulation.
- of course, after that, dates with him changed.
- He decided to take another approach.
- Nowadays, you guys usually do one to one activities. He’d take you to a park so you two can have a picnic, a walk along the beach, stargazing.
- Just anything that he thought would comfort you.
- very sweet to you.
- he’d never make you do something you didn’t want to do.
- he’ll switch things up if you get anxious because of it.
- If you were ever anxious about you both being guys and out together, Cassidy would not have it.
- no no, that can’t do.
- Cassidy will definitely reassure you that he doesn’t care that your a guy, and it doesn’t make him love you any less.
- and if people have a problem with that then…
- To hell with them!
- He doesn’t mind how many times you want to hear it, he’ll reassure you until your convinced.
- soft forehead kisses make everything feel better.
- Very understanding!
Hanzo
- hanzo on the other hand…
- he is someone who has had to live through guilt all his life.
- he had to tough it out, as he was the eldest in his family, he was trained to be an untouchable being, a Shimada was a big name to live up to, he had to adopt many skills and many hobbies throughout his younger years.
- Even when he tried his best,
- even when he murdered his own brother.
- It still wasn’t good enough.
- “Tears are for the weak, never let anything get to you, Hanzo. You are a Shimada. Act like it.”
- he is no stranger to anxiety, he knows how it feels to have your thoughts eating you away.
- much like Cassidy, he never had anybody to reassure him, he never had anybody to comfort him or tell him everything is ok.
- However, compared to Cassidy he fails in the comforting department.
- how he learns you have anxiety?
- Hanzo likes to people watch,
- it’s a habit of his.
- He noticed right away, just by the way you held yourself up.
- He is so lost on what to do with this information.
- he wants to help, he really does.
- But he has no clue how to approach you about it
- he’d rather die than ask for advice, so he decided to man up and question you on it.
- his suspicions were correct.
- Hanzo may not be the best at comforting, but he is an extremely good listener.
- You won’t ever have to worry about rambling, or getting lost in thought.
- He is very patient, he will listen to all of your worries.
- Although, it isn’t always the best. At times it feels like he’s brushing you off— it feels like he’s uncomfortable.
- He really isn’t!
- “…I apologize Y/N. I did not mean to come off that way.”
- He was never a people person, speaking to people and offering words of comfort— it wasn’t his forte.
- he grows more protective of you— but not in an overbearing way.
- He becomes protective in a way that screams ‘I’m right behind you every step of the way, and I will not allow anybody to hurt you.’
- if he notices you’re uncomfortable, he’ll hesitantly— but gently, hold your hand and ask if you’d like to leave to a more calmer place.
- He’s always right by your side.
- He tries his best to comfort you through physical affections.
- He isn’t the best with words, after all.
- His hand is always open to hold.
- Warm and reassuring hands.
- his hands are definitely calloused and have little scars littering them from the harsh training he had put himself through his entire life.
- definitely writes formal letters to you while he’s on missions,
- “Dear Y/N,”
- he just wants to check up on you 😭
- but sir…you have a phone, just message your boyfriend⁉️
- gentle face-touching.
- hugs and cuddles when he’s lost in what to say.
- definitely not big on going out.
- he’d enjoy more introverted-style dates, he enjoys a more simplistic environment.
- There is beauty in simplicity after all.
- he makes your dates perfect for the two of you,
- he prepares the best homemade dinner dates in history.
- He’s just so?? Good?? At everything???
- ( not everything, but you get my point !)
- makes the most scrumptious food ever.
- he may not seem like it, but he’s very maternal when it comes to caring for you.
- definitely makes you deserts to try to ease your anxiety.
- cookies, brownies, cheesecake, you name it!
- his food slowly becomes your guilty pleasure, but he doesn’t need to know that.
- All in all, very helpful if you want somebody to hold you, and listen to your concerns and thoughts, no matter how small or big.
Genji
- now admittedly, I firmly believe that Genji will be the most helpful in these situations.
- After Hanzo carried out the assassination attempt against him. He had suffered for a long time trying to accept his cybernetic body, accepting that he is man and machine combined, overcoming his feelings of hatred for Hanzo, overcoming his depression, waking up in cold sweats due to anxiety, his PTSD and nightmares intertwined, forgiving his brother, everything.
- all of these men have been in very dark times in their life, they are no stranger to the overwhelming rush of thoughts bartering in their heads.
- But despite all of that, Genji understands.
- Not that the others don’t, Genji just gets it on a deeper level.
- He truly feels you from the bottom of his soul.
- He can see you, he knows it hurts.
- “It’s not just a feeling, it’s physical.”
- There used to be nights where he threw up from how anxious he felt.
- Nevertheless, he overcame the hurdles life threw at him.
- With the help of his master, Zenyatta, of course.
- He picked up many healthy habits, and he knows how to put them to good use.
- It wouldn’t take long for him to find out about your anxiety.
- He is a great person to go to when your overwhelmed and upset.
- Genji never fails to lend you a shoulder to cry on.
- He’ll stay silent when you vent to him, he understands that all you need is somebody to listen.
- “Everything is alright.”
- “I’m here.”
- Definitely invites you to meditate with him.
- Even if it’s a short resolve, he hopes that silencing your thoughts —even for a little while— will help.
- In the situation where you cry or have a panic attack, Genji definitely resists the urge to envelope you into a hug. He doesn’t want to overwhelm you.
- He sits beside you and helps you control your breathing.
- He knows this method, and he used it a lot when he felt that he was losing control.
- It was called the 5-4-3-2-1 technique. Find five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.
- It was a great technique for grounding yourself. It was a good reminder that your okay, and once you deviate your focus away from what is plaguing your thoughts — it’ll be alright.
- He will stay with you for as long as necessary.
- Afterwards, he will steal that hug from you !
- He is willing to help you with whatever concerns you have.
- Need water? He’s already filling up your water bottle.
- Do you want to vent? He’ll listen to you with all his attention focused on you.
- Do you want some peace and quiet? He understands. Just remember that he’s here, and he’s not going anywhere.
- Despite his understanding nature. There are times where you can’t tell if he’s messing with you or if he’s being serious.
- He is being 100% serious.
- He definitely drops random pieces of advice at different times.
- You could be in the toilet and he’ll just be like…
- “Y/N, I understand what you were upset about yesterday— your desire to take action is present and well-intentioned, however, every time you move, anxiety tightens it’s grip and-“
- ???
- HE’S IN THE TOILET. Genji please.
- He’s very metaphorical — he got it from Zenyatta.
- Sometimes it gets out of hand though.
- *sees a soda can rolling by*
- “Do you ever feel that you are that soda-can, y/n? Unable to stop moving despite being exhausted from the rush of adrenaline. You feel as if you have no control…”
- He isn’t wrong but…it’s just so unwarranted and RANDOM???
- In all seriousness though!
- Genji is very helpful to you,
- he feels peace with himself now. he wants you to be at peace with your mind as well.
- He’ll hold you gently if you’d like.
- And he’ll do it for as long as it takes, and even after that, he won’t stop trying his best to help you.
- Gentle caresses on your back and sweet kisses feathered on your hand.
Reaper/Gabriel
Gabriel:
- now if we’re talking about Gabriel.
- I feel that even though he may not fully understand your feelings, it didn’t mean he didn’t sympathize with you.
- he tries his best to understand you when you vent to him.
- your somebody special to him, and he doesn’t want to see you suffering.
- he tries his best to help, even if it’s not as extravagant as the others.
- he crouches down next to you, and holds your face in his hands, cradling you steadily.
- he murmurs reassuring words to you.
- he asks you if there is anything you need, and once your feeling better he’d go get it right away.
- he’d probably offer to go on a walk with you. he’ll buy you a snack and drinks along the way.
- as you two walk, the gentle breeze brushing though the two of you gives you pleasant shivers down your spine. It’s therapeutic really.
- definitely also enjoys going on rides in his car, it helps him center and ground himself when he needs to blow off steam.
- ‘it might have to the same affect on him.’ He thought.
- he’d take you with him, and you’ll both just be driving in his car. he’d play music of your choice because he isn’t very big on listening to music himself.
- a hug? his arms are wrapped around you in a second.
- he’s quick to tell you how proud he is of you.
- you are his number one.
- Gabriel probably heats up a nice, warm bath for you later on.
- his bathtub is quite large, so there’s room for him to join you if that would make you feel better.
- I feel like he’d try to encourage you to try to overcome something your anxious about.
- For example, if your scared ordering alone in a restaurant.
- he’d be behind you for support, and if he saw that you were struggling he’d swoop in to save you.
- he won’t force you of course.
- he just wants to help you feel more comfortable doing things.
- he’d definitely introduce you to his overwatch buddies if you’re comfortable.
- he values his work, and it’s extremely important to him, but he’s willing to put it aside occasionally. just for you!
- he’s always holding your hand.
- at first, your confused why everybody is so shocked that your dating him.
- until you saw the way he acts with his subordinates and trainees.
- he is one strict commander!
- your his soft spot, as much as he’d hate to admit it.
- your one of the only people who get to experience the soft side of Gabriel.
- He loves you a lot.
Reaper (sad :( feel free to skip !)
- now, this one might be a little painful to hear, but I really don’t think reaper is capable of comforting or truly showing love for someone at this point in his life. (Feel free to skip this part!)
- He isn’t the same Gabriel he was before.
- he was always confident in himself and in his actions
- he’d experienced anxiety a long long time ago, when he was still…Himself.
- but now? All he experienced was perpetual pain, the constant feeling of the cells in his body splitting every second, no ending in sight.
- It does not mean he didn’t experience guilt.
- but that wasn’t exactly the same, now was it?
- I’d imagine that he wouldn’t be the best to go to.
- no- actually, he’d be the worst to go to.
- reaper is a hard shell.
- he has zero idea on how to deal with emotion.
- how could he? he couldn’t even understand his own, or even fathom how to deal with it.
- if you were to cry, he’d stand and stare at you for a couple of seconds before walking away, giving you space— even if your fingertips yearned his touch.
- he isn’t much of a physical person anymore.
- if you were to hug him, he’d immediately go stiff before pushing you off.
- physical affection really freaks him out.
- he just isn’t affectionate in general.
- rarely, he’ll force himself if you really need it. but he isn’t a kisser, a hugger or any of that— not anymore.
- The extent his affection will go is giving you attention, stroking your head or letting you sit on his lap.
- it isn’t a fun time.
- he has grown into a cruel, and merciless man.
- but he isn’t heartless.
- I feel like, if you ever found comfort in wearing his clothes, he’d definitely leave them out for you. (his old clothes, like his beanie, or maybe even his hooded cloak that he mainly wears)
- checks on you, but you barely catch him do it.
- his footsteps are extremely quiet, it’s as if there’s a ghost in your house.
- definitely gets SO pissed when he finds you crying because somebody hurt you.
- that’s something he will not tolerate.
- he stays quiet when your crying but…
- the minute he has the chance, that person will meet their demise.
- “um…gabe, i just heard that…that the person went missing last night, did something happen?”
- it really doesn’t seem like it, but he still cares about you deep down.
- However.
- work comes first, and unfortunately, you will be the second choice in his eyes.
- that fact doesn’t stop him from getting you small trinkets or souvenirs that he thinks will amuse you or keep you calm for a period of time.
- he wants you to move on from him.
- he feels that you’re just wasting your time continuing to stick around and wait for him to reciprocate your love.
- he knows your in a fragile place, so he will push himself to be more supportive.
- all that he can muster.
- (which isn’t a lot 😧 but at least it’s SOMETHING.)
- yeah…It’s upsetting, but that’s my best guess on how he’ll act as reaper.

i don’t reblog OW fics much atm, but this one stuck in my mind like a bad image
how dare you make this upsettingly good?
Still
「Author’s Note: This features a degree of angst, so be cautious before continuing! A content warning for blood!」
“Hey, can you hear me?” a panicked voice called your name repeatedly, barely audible over the gunshots that flew above overhead. Your body twitched from the position you were in, and words struggled to escape you. Everything sounded so compressed, so muffled, and your ears were ringing. It was difficult for you to determine what was going on by this point, and the voices began to mesh together.
“McCree, that’s enough. Return to your position.” A calmer, feminine voice spoke to the person who previously called your name. You grimaced as a sharp pain shot through your abdomen and you watched as he tried to walk closer towards you both. “That is an order. Go!”
“Doc, we don’t-”
“Now, McCree! I can’t have you here right now. Cover us! Please!” You blinked your eyes slowly, feeling pain snake its way inside of you, and you whimpered as you felt the doctor shift your body. You let out a cry as you felt your body be lifted from the ground, blurred images of your teammates surrounding you. Hesitantly the male held onto his hat, gritting his teeth before doing as he was instructed.
Wailing in pain, you felt nothing but discomfort as the adrenaline of what happened leave you, and you couldn’t move. Your eyes wandered down to your body, processing what was causing you so much grief as you laid on your back. It wasn’t the smartest for you to do at that moment, as upon further inspection of your body you saw that you had been impaled by a tall, rusted pipe. Crimson trails rushed from the impact wound, creating a thick pool under your person, and your breathing became rapid.
Eyes widening, you screamed, bloodcurdlingly so, as heads turned to you. It didn’t last long, you being on the ground alone, as grunting and screaming could be heard from every which way. The sounds of bodies collapsing was slightly covered by gunfire, all of which sounded the same to you as your hollering brought more towards you. Soldiers awaited further instruction from your position, and as you writhed in pain, you couldn’t make out the hurried footsteps to your direction.
“You have to stay awake for me, [Y/N], OK?” the doctor comforted, beginning to glow a hue of golden yellow as she placed her hands over your wound, examining the severity of your impalement. “Keep your eyes on me.” Her cerulean hues locked on your [colour] ones, staring intently before she resumed attempting to stabilize the wound. You couldn’t decipher what she meant, where you were, what was happened, and your mind began to spin. Your eyes became dilated, you could barely feel oxygen enter you as other medics came to your side.
Your skin became cold, your breathing weak but fast, and your lips quivered as a timid hum vibrated on them. “I am here for you, I am right here.” The doctor comforted was slightly clearer than the other persons around you, although she was still a struggle to visualize. Whining, you felt a sudden jerk in your body as tears streamed down your face. Everything was becoming such a haze, too many voices, too many loud sounds. Heat left you, and you felt tight contractions in your lower half of your body. You became tense with every passing moment, and blood rushed from your gaping injury.
“She’s going into shock,” the doctor stated, your vision becoming blurry as more first respondents came to you. You tried to shake your head, to move, to do anything, but any little movement you made inflicted a worse response from your body. Whimpers were the only thing you could manage, and the taste of blood filled your mouth. “My staff.”
Occasionally, a figure would disappear, only to return seconds later with something in their arms to hand to the woman. “Dr. Ziegler.” An exchange of sorts was made, and it confused you even more. The medics began murmuring something you could not understand, making you all the more nervous in your current state. It burned, it hurt, it was agonizing, it was too much. You shouted, trying to move your body, only increasing your pain as tears continued to roll down your cheeks.
Doctor Ziegler came closer to you and watched as now, four medical agents carefully took you in their arms as they lifted you from the jagged pipe. You wept as blood seeped from your opening, and as you moved you saw a brown-haired man attempt to get closer to you, but was quickly held back by others. He shouted your name, and the woman who sought you first yelled something to him, and others chimed in. Though, you could not determine what anyone was saying, what was going on, or why you felt so cold.
It wasn’t until you went limp, collapsing in the hands of the medics, that you recognized the voice. Your eyes glazed over slowly, while still staring to the male as he struggled frantically to break free to get to you. He reached out, his arms extending as far as they could in an attempt to reach you, his shock-crossed expressing watching you. His mouth was agape, screaming your name hysterically as tears left him.
He was the last thing you saw.

Hi!! I saw that your request were open so I wanted to request something!
Imagine reaper had a daughter with his (ex???) wife before he died / disappeared, she knew him as a hero and always admired him etc. so his daughter joined overwatch after a few years now that she was older and wanted to follow her dad’s steps (obviously not knowing the behind scenes of his job) but in a mission reaper sees her and is not capable of doing his job because he recognizes his little girl
I had an oc that was reapers daughter but saw a post about widowmaker with a child and I NEEDED someone to write one for reaper— THANK YOU, take your time and take care <333
𝔽𝕒𝕞𝕚𝕝𝕪 𝔹𝕦𝕤𝕚𝕟𝕖𝕤𝕤
Words: 576
Also wording reader as his child, as I don't do female readers!
“Told you she would grow on you Gabe.”
“What.” He didn’t understand what Ana meant. If anything it was about Pharah, but if anything she grew on him years ago, not that he would admit it. She only sighed and shook her head, pointing behind him.
Finding his wife, Martina. Her hands were cupped around something that she held to her chest, slowly opening them. In her hands sat a pregnancy test. He only stared, so she rightfully got worried.
“Really?” She nodded. Instantly he rushed over to her, lifting her into his arms. He was never good at words, but his actions made up for it.
***
The months passed before you and your brother were born. While he took after her you were a mix of both. He became a mummy's boy, so Gabriel made sure you were a daddy’s kid. And with the amount of overwatch posters and apparel around it would’ve been surprising if you weren’t.
What was even more surprising was that he just didn’t return. None of the family realized until Jack, also known as Soldier 76, alerted you. But that wouldn’t do much when there was no trace of where he went.
So the next few decades you had to grow up without him present, with the closet being all the posters still hanging. Although they were quickly removed and hidden. It didn’t stop you from following his footsteps even as your mother testified.
It would be dangerous, even life risking. But you were willing to take that risk, after all your father did.
***
Arms wrapped around your waist and hauled you into the air, although it wasn’t hard to figure out it was. The massive muscles revealed it as Reinhardt, then came his voice, yelling even though he was right behind you.
“Look at you, finally grown up!” Suddenly his arms were gone but you weren’t on the ground. Instead he had thrown you into the air, making sure you safely land and stay on his shoulder.
“ANA!” There he went, bringing you along to show off that you were back, now to work.
***
Even if you just joined you were much more prepared than other recruits. Likely from the fact you had been training all your life with Ana, Jack and sometimes Reinhardt, who never wanted to hurt you during so.
So that came in handy very quickly. As you were selected for a mission, going with other official overwatch members. Ana, Brigitte, Genji, Cassidy and D.Va. Flown across the world to your location, Busan in South Korea.
It was a simple recon mission. Get in, find the needed information then leave. But you guys were never going to do it alone. Talon hiding in the shadows, keeping track of their own information.
Reaper had made his way around and behind your team, able to follow the familiar voices.
“Genji!”
“McCree!” Of course he would run into those two. Thinking his time with them was long but over, apparently not. Stepping out closer to watch the commotion, not expecting another familiar sight.
“McCree, don’t step any closer.”
“And why is that?”
“You don’t want to piss off Reyes do you?” Following his words you walked into their sights. Ultimately making McCree back off, not before complaining.
“Reyes won't be able to keep you safe forever.”
Even with Gabriel out of your life you were much more similar than you realized. And hopefully you didn’t become too close.

Hello, hope you are having a lovely day so far!
I just stumbled by your account lol and I wanted to request if your okay of course!
Male reader x Cassidy!
The male reader is Mercy’s younger brother! One day Mercy decided to take her young brother to meet the team and see her work basically. The male reader is very shy and doesn't like socializing unless he's comfortable with them! Ofc has glasses lol! He gets along with everyone especially with the girls lol since they enjoy his presence and how adorable and nice he is like his big sister, Mercy! Incoming Cassidy having the biggest crush on her little brother loving every part of him especially his personality. Everyone knows that the Cowboy is down bad for Mercy's little brother, and mercy gets protective ofc her being the big sister. Overall, just Cassidy trying to prove to Mercy that his capable of protecting her brother and loving him!!!!💌
Again you don't have to do this request, good day!💌🪴🫧
he is so babygirl how could u nit like a cowboy especially a love struck cowboy!! || THANK U FOR REQUESTING sometimes it takes me a little to process stuff so dont think im ignoring u when i dont respond right away!?!?! i was just so overwhelmed with joy when people requested !!! ALSO HEADS UP for this im just gonna put y/n with white hair cus hes mercys brother u can imagine him with other colours if u want also NOT LIMITED TO SPECIFIC HAIR TYPES ALL MALE READERS ARE WELCOME!
"Do I really have to go?" Y/N sighed and frowned slightly. "What if they don't like me.." Mercy shook her head and smiled at him hoping it would cheer Y/N up. "Trust me, they'll love you (n/n)!" She gently grabbed her brothers hand and held it close. "And if they don't I'll make sure to take care of them, okay?" Mercy said, earning a chuckle from her brother. "Alright, Alright. Fine." Y/N sighed in defeat.
-------------------
THE HEADQUARTERS
Mercy walked in and held Y/N by her side, Y/N was swallowing hard what if the team didn't like him. And what if Mercy wasn't there to protect him all of the time? That would be insane, Mercy almost never leaves him. Until she has to go work of course, this was one of the main reasons Mercy offered to take him to the headquarters, so they didn't have to be separated. When the doors closed behind them everyone made an immediate glance towards them. Y/N tried to choke down all of his nervousness.
"Hey everyone!" Mercy smiled. Y/N could already tell Mercy was most of everyone's favorite. How could she not? She's really friendly and sociable. D.Va was the first to approach him. "You're such a cutie! Almost as cute as me!" She pinched his cheek as some of the other women started to surround him, he felt sweat start to form on his face as he got a little anxious.
Cassidy was watching back from the corner, he was sitting in his chair with his arms crossed. So what if he's Mercy's brother? Doesn't make him better than anybody else. He thought to himself, laying his fist against his cheek. He watched Y/N's every move as he bit his lip slightly. For some reason it was making him quite angry that so many.. women were surrounding Y/N, he didn't know why it just did. Mccree stood up and cleared his throat a bit loud, gaining the attention of everyone. "Seems like the new guy would like some space.. isn't that right, sugar?"
Y/N felt his eyes widen a little. Is he talking to me?! He blushed a lot and nodded slightly. "I..I guess it would be nice to have some space to myself.." He adjusted his glasses a little. Cassidy motioned Y/N to come sit by him and he easily obeyed, Y/N sat down next to the cowboy and sat there a bit awkwardly. Mercy raised an eyebrow and looked over at the two. "Hmm." He never seemed interested when I talked about my brother, I wonder what his deal is? "Mccree." She semi-yelled at him and crossed his arms.
"Yeah?" Cassidy chuckled and started to stand, he looked down at Y/N. "We'll continue this in a bit, sugar." He looked back over at Mercy and walked up to her. Y/N was just confused. He knew nothing about this guy and he's just calling him pet names! But then it also seems he does it with everybody else.. So I guess he's not as special as he thought. Back to him and Mercy all Y/N could do was watch their face expressions and try to picture out what they could possibly be talking about. "What do you think you're doing with my brother?" Mercy hissed quietly, she obviously had a more rather angry look on her face. Y/N has never seen her angry. "What are you talking about, darling? I'm just trying to learn about him. Like everybody else." He smirked. "I told you to stop calling me those names! You're making this much worse than it should."
"So I can't talk to him but everyone else can? That doesn't seem fair." Mccree smirked obviously knowing that he's pissing her off. "I've seen what you done to the other people that you tried to 'talk to' my brother doesn't deserve that!" Mercy pushed him to the side and walked over to Y/N, she sat down in what was Cassidy's chair. "Y/N, do not talk to him, okay? He's nothing but bad news!" Y/N was a little confused but gave an unsure nod. I don't know what he said but it seemed to make her really upset.
Cassidy rolled his eyes and walked up to them. He crossed his arms and looked down at the siblings. "She doesn't know what the hell she's talking about! I wasn't trying to date those people.. they were just one night stands! Mercy thinks I'm trying to have a one night stand with you, sugar." Y/N felt his eyes widen a little and backed into his chair a little. One night stand? The hell is he talking about! "I.." Y/N was left speechless.. what was he supposed to say to that? "Nobody wants to hear about your one night stands!" Mercy hurried to stand and looked at the cowboy. "You want my brother bad, huh?" Mercy scowled him and grabbed him by his hair, she looked into his eyes. "You so much as look at him the wrong way you can go ahead and kiss your other arm goodbye." Thats the first time anyone has seen Mercy be so.. intimidating, everyone else was just sitting there;watching.
Y/N just sat there watching too, his mouth hanging open a little. He never knew his sister could be this formidable. "Alright, alright! Just let me go!" Cassidy tried to pull her hand away as a soft whimper left his lips. Mercy eventually let him go after a few more minutes of scolding and threatening him. Everyone was definitely going to tease him later for this. He sat back down next to Y/N as he tried to fix his hair a bit. "Y..You have feelings for me?" Y/N barely mumbled out looking into Cassidy's eyes, the cowboy nodded and crossed his arms. "Did you not see the conversation me and your sister just had?" They both chuckled. "Well.. I suppose having a little fun with you would hurt, cowboy." Y/N smiled.

Yes of course my first reblog is my besties fanfic! It's thanks to him I even got into overwatch so it's only fitting. <3
Rubble (Genji x Reader)
Hey guys! This is my first ever oneshot on Tumblr so I'm nervous and excited lol. I'm used to Wattpad and Ao3(for people who know I actually started on Wit LOL) so I apologize if the formatting is a bit weird/off. I hope you enjoy! (Also I wrote this a long time ago before McCree's name was changed) This was first uploaded on my Ao3, so if you enjoy consider checking me out here
As the aircraft was slowly making its approach to the ground, you grew more and more nervous. Biting your fingernails, you glanced around at the heroes who you happened to befriend. There was Zenyatta, you and him didn't talk much but he seemed very calm and collected in battle. Then Mercy, or Angela as she was most commonly called, was always a wonderful person to talk to however whenever she was treating a patient you knew to never disturb her. Next there was McCree, he had a much more "rough n' tough" exterior but whenever you guys were off duty he was a bit of a charmer, though you never fell for it. Orisa followed you around a lot, mostly because she was programmed to protect others but she also genuinely enjoyed your company, or at least, you thought it was genuine. It's hard to tell with robots.
Now there was Sigma, a bit of a newer addition to the crew but he was a strong fighter and an interesting person to be around. Despite his seemingly split personalities, you two have managed to have very pleasant conversations when everyone else is asleep. Finally..Genji. Genji was the hero everyone strived to be, or that's how you saw him. He was fun and goofy whenever you guys were off the job yet calculated and passionate when in the midst of a fight, but one trait persisted on and off the battlefield: his flirty-ness. McCree was a charmer, more "old fashioned" in his wits but Genji was a lot more audacious and up-front in his advances. Unfortunately, time doesn't stop for your daydreams so by the time you got to thinking about Genji the aircraft came to a particularly rough landing, jostling you around where you so happen to fall onto none other than: the cyborg ninja himself. It took you a second to fully realize what happened, as you were so busy in thought you disconnected from the outside world. That was, until you heard Genji's robotic yet endearing voice emit from behind the mask.
"Y/N, I know you're falling for me but you don't have to be so literal about it~" He teased, holding you up so you wouldn't hit the floor. Your face went hot, you still haven't quite gotten used to his banter yet. You quickly stood up properly, removing your arms from his hands. He chuckled spotting your reaction, he had a habit of doing that. "Relax Y/N, you know I'm just teasing."
That was true, but you still couldn't help but wonder..'No, now is not the time Y/N, you're about to go into battle for f×cks sake.' You put on a smile, shaking your head lightly in a playful manner. "Really Genji? Do you ever stop?"
"No Y/N, no he does not." The cowboy spoke up, chuckling lightly as he flicked his cigar, sending light sparks on the floor. "He won't stop talking 'bout ya eithe-"
"Jesse! What did I tell you about the smoking?!" Angela spoke up, quite literally a guardian angel in this moment as she distracted McCree from spilling all of Genji's secrets. The two went on to bicker, however the aircraft broke out in silence when the doors started to open slowly. You took a deep breath, knowing that this could possibly be your last mission. Though this was the case with every mission. Hanamura…Where Genji grew up. It was truly beautiful. Y'know..despite the smoke and fire from a battle that seemingly had already begun. After another deep breath, you and your team jumped off the aircraft. As you jumped, you looked over and made eye contact with Genji. He seemed to smile, giving you a thumbs up for good luck.
You were grateful your team was victorious. You were terrified of what could go wrong, of the people they could harm. Luckily, everybody was safe. Well, everybody but you. Currently, you were buried underneath the rubble, a wound on your head and you were 90% sure you broke your foot or perhaps your whole leg. You had tried calling out for your teammates, but the oxygen was getting thin. You weren't even panicking, because you knew your team had won the battle. That's all that mattered. That everyone else was safe. You closed your eyes, blood dripping down from the wound in your head. You let out a sigh, and everything stopped. Things went black, you felt numb. You were sure this was it. Until you heard a voice that was all too familiar.
"Y/N!!" The cyborg ran towards you in full distress. Fighting the calming blackness that over took you, you opened your eyes.
After coughing, you called out. "Genji…I-I'm here.." It was soft, and you weren't even sure if he could hear you. Hearing how panicked Genji was, was enough reason for you to keep fighting. He ran over to you, his enhanced robot hearing helping him greatly.
"Y/N!" He called out once more. "Y/N I'm here." He kept muttering random words, thanking the heavens you were alive, saying how stupid you were to go on your own, and then scolding himself because he was just so happy you were still here. He did all that as he moved the rubble off of you with ease. Genji relaxed greatly when he finally saw your face. Gently, he picked you up. You shuddered a bit against the cold metallic suit but quickly relaxed, your strength being all gone. "You're safe, Y/N. I promise, nothing bad will happen to you again." You nodded your head gently before closing your eyes once more, grateful for your savior.
When you finally awoke, the hiss of metal disconnecting was the first thing you heard. You stirred a little as you slowly gained back all your senses. You were laying on some kind of bed, and you were holding someone's hand. You could immediately tell who's it was though, the metallic fingers gently caressing your knuckles. You couldn't help the smile that etched on your face. You also felt some tubes run through your arm. 'Must be an IV..' Regarding your leg, it already had a cast on it and was elevated. Angela must have cared for you. After a moment, slowly, you opened your eyes while turning to look at Genji. You were a bit surprised though, when you saw he had taken his mask off. His face was scar ridden, but that never made him less attractive to you. Really you only saw him like this when he was injured, or sleeping. He was looking down, tears in his eyes. You tried reaching your other hand out to cup his face but he was a bit too far away. "Genji..C'mere.." You said softly. He immediately shot up, looking at you. The tears finally fell and he squeezed your hand.
"Y/N!! You're okay!" He smiled, tears still coming down. He leaned forward, planting a gentle kiss to your hand that he was holding. The action made you flush, yet you continued to look at the ninja in front of you. You gently cupped his face in your other hand. You couldn't tell if it was because you were weak or if you had just grown more confident, but you weren't as shy as normal. "Y/N, I am so so so sorry for letting anything bad happen to you. I promise I'll protect you now, with all my being." You smiled sadly, you didn't like the fact that Genji blamed himself and yet you were grateful for his future protection.
"Genji, none of this is your fault. I wandered off on my own, it's alright. I'm safe now with you." You rubbed your thumb softly against his rough cheek. He kissed the side of your hand that was cupping his face, and yet again you flushed. He's never done anything like that; he's never kissed any part of you before. So, a part of you couldn't help but wonder why he did it. Was it just from a place of protectiveness? Or did he truly have feelings for you? "What's important is that everyone else is safe, we saved the city." You spoke up after a moment.
The cyborg merely chuckled weakly, giving your hand yet another kiss. "Y/N, I would let a thousand cities burn to the ground as long as you were safe." He smiled softly, looking at your flustered face. "Sure it's great that we saved everyone…But if you weren't okay, I couldn't live with myself." He explained, but it seemed like he was holding himself back from…what? His cold knuckles rubbed against yours, giving you butterflies.
You smiled as well, and squeezed Genji's hand softly. "Hey..Don't worry about that." You coughed, your torso raising from the bed with the movement. The cyborg's face immediately filled with worry. "I'm safe, you're safe..the people are safe." You reassured him, laying back against the slightly elevated hospital bed.
"Yes but-" He started, but then sooner than he had started, gave up. He shook his head, and with his free hand grabbed the missing part to his helmet. "Get some rest, Y/N. I'll be back, I have some paperwork Jack needs me to fill."
I roll my eyes at the mention, but understand regardless. "Go ahead, I know how strict he can be." You gave a weak chuckle and the ninja before you slowly let go of your hand, as if it pained him to do so. You closed your eyes, falling asleep to the soft hiss of Genji's metallic helmet connecting.
After an hour or so, you woke up to the sound of the door opening. "Genji? Is that you?" You called out quietly, head still feeling groggy from your nap. You heard a feminine laugh, and immediately recognized it as Angela's. You slowly opened your eyes and watched as she put her rubber gloves on.
"Sorry to disappoint, but no, it's not Genji. Just your resident doctor." She smiled, walking over the to monitor you were connected to, looking it over.
You blushed lightly and shook your head. "I didn't mean to look disappointed, he just…said he'll be back." You said, feeling a bit stupid for expecting him to be back this soon. "He's probably busy still.." You mumbled, trying to make yourself feel better.
Angela looked down on you and checked your head wound, smiling softly. "Don't worry Y/N, he'll be back. Jack is..upset that he ran off to find you." You tilted your head a bit. "No- No don't do that please, I need to make sure your wound isn't infected." You moved your head back, but still had many questions.
"I don't understand, why would Jack be upset at that? Doesn't he always want to save as many people as possible?" You asked, confused. You saw Angela take a deep breath out of the corner of your eye before she seemingly made up her mind.
"When we couldn't find you, we all assumed you were dead. We were given direct orders to report straight back, as there was word that there was an emergency somewhere else. Luckily some other agents were free so they got there in time, but Genji insisted on staying and looking for you. We were all heartbroken, really, but Genji…He really didn't seem like he'd live without you." She confessed, turning back to her counter with medical supplies. "Young love, right?" She joked, trying to lighten the mood.
You were stunned, and didn't say a word. 'Young love?' You thought. 'Does he..really care about me like that?' You asked yourself, thinking it was way too good to be true. But how could you ignore the obvious signs any longer? As you were overthinking your crush on the cyborg, Angela had some good news.
"You should be able to leave tomorrow. Of course you won't be able to walk, and you can't go on any missions with us, but you won't be confined to this 'hospital' for long." She smiled. "Genji has already volunteered to be your personal nurse, seems to think he can do a better job than me, but I'm sure you'll be fine on your own. We all know you're a fighter, Y/N."
You thanked her and appreciated the compliments, but you were obviously preoccupied. By mere coincidence, someone knocked on the door about five minutes after Angela knocked. "Come in!" You called, flicking through the channels of the T.V in the room. Genji emerged from the door, holding a small bouquet of flowers. You smiled seeing him, along with the nice gift. "Aww Genji, you didn't have to." You said.
His robotic chuckle emerged from the mask, and he closed the door behind him. "I've wanted to give them to you for a while, actually. So yes, it was very necessary." You couldn't see him, but from his tone of voice you can tell that he smiled. He sat back down on the chair next to your bed, putting the flowers on a nearby table. You two sat in silence for a bit before you spoke up.
"Genji..You've been really sweet to me today. First with saving me-" You started.
"Technically that was yesterday." He chimed in.
You rolled your eyes with a smile. "Oh hush, you know what I mean. What I'm trying to say- Or ask, rather is…Do you..have feelings for me? Maybe I'm reading this all wrong but you kept kissing my hands and got me flowers and-" You started going on a nervous ramble, hoping that something made sense and if you were wrong Genji didn't hate you. You were so nervous, in fact, that you didn't hear his helmet disconnect. In a moment's notice, Genji was mere inches from your face.
He smiled, and nodded his head. One of his hands grabbed your own, while the other tucked your hair behind your ear. "Of course I do, Y/N. How could I not? I really do care for you, and want to have a relationship with you." He kissed your forehead softly. "I'm sorry I waited this long to tell you, I just didn't want to ruin things. I thought maybe you had someone else.."
At that you chuckled, and shook your head. "No, Genji, nobody else. Nobody else but you." You leaned your face closer to the other, neither of you connecting your lips yet.
"May I kiss you?" Genji asked, voice a whisper as if he's scared that he'll ruin the mood.
"Of course you may." You answered, and just melted feeling Genji's lips on yours. There were a few scars around his mouth, but you knew that and it felt surprisingly nice. It was like a perfect moment, one that the two of you were dreaming about forever. After a moment you pulled away, wrapping your arms around Genji. "I love you, so much Genji." You admitted with the biggest smile on your face.
"I love you too, Y/N." He said, with an equally big smile on his face.

W/C: 350+
A/N: This is completely self indulgent. I was in class with nothing to do and I thought about this and wrote it so here we are, enjoy <3
Cassidy
Cole’s a talkative guy who loves to go on and on about things himself so when he gets to see you do it as well his heart swells at the sight.
He’s so glad that there’s something that you find this much passion in and that you’re comfortable enough to ramble on to him about all these things.
While you’re normally going on about these things though he’ll usually reply to some of the things you say instead of purely listening to let you know that he’s still there.
When you realise he’s stopped replying you turn to look over at him, worried that you might have bore him
Nope.
He has his head propped up by his hand on the table and he’s smiling that same warm, endearing smile that you had fallen in love with all that while ago.
“Gonna keep goin’ sweetheart?”
It wasn’t really a question, more of an encouragement.
Of course you obliged.
Hanzo
Listening to you is a normal thing for him, though that doesn’t mean that he enjoys it any less.
It’s something that he relishes, like Cassidy he loves to see that there's something you’re passionate enough about to open up like this to him.
He definitely asks himself what he did to deserve you.
He’ll just sit while doing something like cleaning his bow.
You are his favourite thing to listen to especially while doing menial tasks.
He’ll occasionally let out hums of acknowledgement to let you know that he’s still listening to you.
Sometimes he’ll put down what he’s doing just to get a good look at you.
He loves seeing the way your eyes seem to have this sparkle while talking about your interests.
Soon a small smile will develop onto his face while he admires you.
You realise how awfully quiet he had been when you stop to check on him and you’re met with him looking lovingly at you with the smallest but most loving of smiles on his face.
“Why’d you stop?”
You shook your head at his question with a grin on your face before returning to the topic you were talking about.
I literally love them. Anyway, if you enjoyed my master list is here 💜

Welcome to my fandom writing blog :]
I mostly write full fics for myself, typically reader-insert so others can enjoy. I probably won’t take requests for a full narrative.
I can do headcanons and short imagines for you readers though! Currently I will only do these for almost any characterin Overwatch and Spiderverse, however, since these are my current hyperfixations. (Hammond/Wreckingball and Spider-Ham not included)
I will NOT write about;
R*pe, non-con, or forced scenarios
Underage, SA, questionable/controversial fetishes
Incest, or relatives sharing a partner
Sigma. I’m so sorry. I just can’t.
I WILL write about;
Nearly anything else
Gender and sexuality headcanons
NSFW, fluff, platonic, poly, fun things!!
You just gotta ask :]
If I’m uncomfortable with something, don’t worry about being called out or anything, I will likely just ignore it.
If requesting something for multiple characters, please limit yourself to 5 per ask!
This blog is LGBTQ+ friendly, I won’t tolerate bigotry or the use of harmful slurs, regardless of your ability to reclaim them.
Soldier:76 and Tracer’s sexualities will be respected, I won’t make them heterosexual in any scenario.
And because I am open to doing NSFW, I will have to block any minors I see interacting with this blog.
Requests are Open!

I currently have more Overwatch brain rot so have some more platonic headcanons!
If you pick Junkrat up (the man is so long idk how you do it but you do), he’s kinda just like, “Oh? Where are we going??? Cool, an adventure!!!”
Imagine just like,,, giving Winton Winston an industrial size container of peanut butter and a couple bunches of bananas for his birthday/a holiday/just because. You would have a new best friend! (I love him sm)
Cassidy/McCree would absolutely drag you into line dancing with him. He has no shame and will gladly teach you how, so there is absolutely no getting out of it. Sometimes Hanzo gets dragged into it too and Genji films it. Bob also likes joining in from time to time
Ana will gladly take you to do paintball but she will also absolutely walk out of the session without any paint on her at all. Meanwhile, you’re covered head to toe lol
On a similar note, imagine going axe throwing with Junker Queen! That would be an absolute blast oml She would dominate this activity but she’d also help teach you how to improve. She’d be the best coach but also your biggest cheerleader here.
Genji would loooove joking around with you. He also loves pranking Hanzo with you. This (naturally) turns into an all out prank war with tentative alliances (perhaps Overwatch vs Talon, etc.), lines drawn, and no one going anywhere in the base without watching their backs for like a week lol.
I can see Jack/Soldier giving you advice on how to grill things. He’s happy to teach you and is so proud when you successfully grill your first steak.
Reaper will slide you cookies when you least expect it. Blink and you’ll miss him, but there’s a cookie on your desk or on a table next to you and his cape just barely visible leaving the door frame. I love his cookie emote sm
If you befriend Symmetra, she would love to teach you all the cool stuff about what she does and how she designs all her nifty gadgets. She also loves just sitting in the same room with you while you each do your own thing.
This is all I have for now but plz feel free to add to it/drop an ask/etc.! I love headcanons and getting to imagine our faves doing fun things.
Have a lovely day/night/appropriate time label! 💕💕💕

So, to be self-indulgent for a moment, I like to imagine Chibodee roping the other shuffles into playing Overwatch (RIP) with him
He and the gals sometimes play but they always end up with a random for the 6v6
The gals recruit Rain and Allenby from their group chat at one point and so Chibodee gets the shuffles to join him.
I think Domon would be the frighteningly deadly Zenyatta you sometimes see. I think the robot monk would pique his interest, and since you need a balanced team he could be roped into playing dedicated support because "the healer is traditionally in charge" (half-truth, from Chibodee). Playing Tank and DPS, I think he'd go for Reinhardt and Hanzo, respectively. (I just know Domon would find Hanzo attractive. Which would probably frustrate him because that fucking backstory.)
Chibodee's most familiar with the game, so he's probably the teammate who switches characters the most to gain an advantage. I think he'd be particularly good with Soldier, Reaper, McCassidy (... ask me and I'll explain), Dva, Doomfist, Orisa, Winston, and Ana.
Argo has a soft spot for Zarya (at least in SRW he does have some love for his own nationality) and he is deadly with her. He's all right with Bastion, but they never really need him in a non-tank role, because he knows what he's doing. Often the de-facto strategist when Domon and Chibodee are being dumbasses.
Sai ends up really liking how Tracer plays, and being fairly good with Pharah and Genji (though he thinks Genji as a character is kind of a square, why, Sai thinks, did he become so lame when he grew up?). Wrecking Ball is his favorite tank, Followed by Winston and Dva, and he loves Lucio's speed and wallriding abilities.
George also doesn't strike me as particularly gaming-inclined, so he mostly picks characters with "traditional" strategic roles; Shield tanks like Reinhardt and Orisa, the sniper Widowmaker, and the dedicated healer Mercy. Later on he discovers he likes how Mei and Symmetra play, and starts using a lot of them (he tried Echo. didn't like having to learn to play every character in order to take advantage of her mimicry).
Since the Gals have already snatched up Rain and Allenby, Domon gets Kyoji or Schwarz (whomever is more free at the moment) to join as their sixth. They have mixed feelings about Moira but are very good at playing her, they enjoy Hanzo, Genji, Mei, and Symmetra, and are solid with the tanks Sigma and Winston, though neither of them tank well. Their reflex is to avoid damage rather than soak it, which makes for a very inconvenient tank for the rest of the team. Often also a de-facto strategist when Domon and Chibodee are being fools. They get along pretty well with Argo because of this.
(Strangely, the pirate reminds him of a friend of his from college, but is baffled by the association. He's even more baffled when he eventually sees Andrew again, who is for some reason as buff as Argo.)
On the Gals side;
Bunny is a dedicated Sombra main. She fucking loves going invisible and dicking with people. She will play Dva, Winston, or Moira if she must. She's surprisingly good at Junkrat and Reaper when they need one.
Cath really appreciates Baptiste, though will go Ana, or Mercy if they can't keep close enough to take proper advantage of his kit. She gave Doomfist a try, but didn't gel with his fighting-game-esque mechanics, so she'll sometimes play Sigma if they need her to be tank. She'll go Ashe, Mei, Pharah, Tracer, or Torbjorn if they need to fill a DPS gap.
Shirley likes the puzzle of filling gaps in the team's needs, and plays a little of everyone. I think she favors the Junkers (Junkrat & Roadhog), Torbjorn, and Lucio.
I think Janet likes the robots, but isn't fond of Orisa or Zenyatta's gameplay. Moira (support), Bastion, Genji, Pharah, and Doomfist (DPS), and Dva, Winston, and Wrecking Ball (Tank) are more her speed.
Rain grabs Mercy at first because she finds her relatable, but quickly pivots to Ashe and McCassidy for their gunplay. She picks up Orisa or Winston occasionally, as well as Lucio (I think she'd find him attractive, and appreciate his personality).
Allenby loves smacking people around as Reinhardt, and adapts to Echo surprisingly well for someone who just picked up the game; she'll usually go with her or Tracer for DPS. She likes Brigitte for being a healer whose gameplay is similar to Rein's, and for her personality, and she enjoys flitting around as Mercy as well.
@fighting-these-demons re: Domon and Kyoji
that is exactly who I imagine whenever I see this post.
Domon is exactly the kind of person to have A Routine (especially since I've settled on AuDHD Domon as a headcanon), and we have seen Kyoji mess with him, just with more of a goal in mind.
(I also kind of wonder what kind of video games, if any, Kyoji would go for. Which is very hard for me to speculate on because my answers would be extraordinarily biased towards my own tastes. )
#Headcanons#video games#Overwatch#Shuffle Alliance#Neo America Gals#G Gun Rain#Allenby#fuck it I'll explain here#Okay to answer why I call the cowboy that. Imagine there's a game dev who is a shithead. Puts his OC into video games whenever he can.#One of these games gets popular and the most wildly popular interpretation of said OC is Gay and Mexican (bc most cowboys weren't white)#Dev goes on bigot rant. Fans are grossed out by dev. Game company changes the character's name to try to sweep it all under the rug#And I continue to either deadname the gay cowboy or draw attention to the change#because the idea of somewhere that bigot dev getting a migraine and not knowing why warms my heart ^.^#And that's the summary of my deal about Jesse McCree/Cassidy Cole

Week 13 Recs: It's about the Yearning
Week 13's theme was "It's about the yearning," or fics with an emphasis on pining, mutual or otherwise.
Behind the cut, you'll find the recs gathered from the Yeehan community, organized by rating and then alphabetically by title!
Not Rated
This Year by CommonNonsense [8,835 words] Reccer comment: "extra cute, deliciously drawn out stuck-together-in-a-cabin pining"
The holidays are not kind to those on their own. Hanzo, at least, has never been overly invested in this time of year--but McCree, as he often does, changes things, and when a mission sees them snowed in together on Christmas Eve, there is no way to avoid it.
General Audiences
It Ain't Easy by KittenzCaboodle [29,426 words]
It’s St. Patrick’s day and Hanzo does not have a green shirt to wear.
This is not ideal.
On his quest to borrow one and properly join in on the planned celebration at the base, both he and Cole reminisce about how life has changed since Hanzo joined Overwatch. -
Fic written for YeeHan Week 2022!
Teen and Up
Dreamlike by mataglap [4,063 words] Reccer comment: "I FOUND IT!! there's a surprising amount of dream kiss fics"
Hanzo is used to bad dreams, and he never would have expected that a good dream would end up haunting him the most.
Flowers Like Ashes by NoirSongbird [8,266 words] Reccer comment: "Hanahaki, rated teen! There be angst 👀"
The Hanahaki Disease is an illness born from one-sided love, where the patient coughs up flower petals when they suffer from one-sided love. The infection can be removed through surgery, but the feelings disappear along with the petals. Hanzo Shimada is desperately in love with Jesse McCree -- the flower petals he coughs up whenever McCree so much as looks his way are plenty of evidence of that. It is unfortunate, then, that McCree utterly despises him.
Hiraeth by robocryptid [11,947 words]
After discovering that the mercenary Reaper is his old commander and mentor, Cole takes some time to get his head on straight. Hanzo refuses to let him do it alone.
Or: the author gives Cole Cassidy the kind of feelgood, big emotions, rite-of-passage road trip usually imagined for American teenagers, except this time it's for two grown-ass vigilante murder dudes.
Just Once by Vimeddiee [2,534 words]
Cole dreams that he’s kissing someone.
Sweet Dreams by Dracoduceus [5,134 words]
Hanzo’s dreams started to leak into reality and it becomes harder and harder to deal with, especially with his unresolved feeling toward Cassidy.
Tell Me by Akiko_Natsuko [27,728 words] Reccer comment: "pretty okay ff with past blackwatch Cass/Scion Hanzo"
They had me years before, a fling that had ended without names being exchanged and with an unspoken farewell. Hanzo had never expected to find the Cowboy again, let alone on the day he joined Overwatch. And he was unprepared for the fact that the man that he had never managed to forget, was unable to recognise him the day he finally gave Cassidy his name.
Unaddressed by robocryptid [11,100 words] Reccer comment: "the first chapter is amazing"
He gave twelve years of his life to the original Overwatch. He’s seen dozens of MIA cases, investigated more than a few of them himself. It’s not new. It’s just that now the organization’s so small; it makes it feel a lot more personal.
Winston gave the order. He can’t argue with the logic that he’s the one whose background best fits this particular task. But it was Genji asking him directly — trusting him with this in a way he knows it’s hard for Genji to trust — that made him agree to it.
So he rummages through Hanzo’s desk in search of anything that could help.
Undisclosed Desires by Calardes [12,751 words]
An unexpected dream forced Hanzo to reassess his relationship with a certain cowboy.
Now he could think of little else but how much he wanted to kiss him.
Wake-up Call by fishpoets [2,149 words] Reccer comment: "Love realization"
Falling in love is deceptively simple. Admitting it is trickier.
Mature
All the Little Pieces by KittenzCaboodle [57,890 words]
Cole Cassidy had not known peace ever since Hanzo Shimada had been thrust into his life, but - with some "time" - realizes that maybe it's not so bad having him around.
In fact, maybe it was always meant to be.
Foxhole Dreaming by fishpoets [18,569 words] Reccer comment: "And there was only one bed"
After Hanzo and McCree are ambushed on an undercover mission and McCree is injured, they need to hide out in a secret bunker that McCree knows of while they wait to be rescued. The prospect of a few days in close-quarters alone with McCree wouldn't be a problem, except for one thing: Hanzo's feelings for the gunslinger don't stop at friendship.
i could love you (for the rest of my life) by fwop [3,494 words] Reccer comment: "Oh. *Oh*"
“--if you had just listened to me for once, instead of running off--”
He’s gesturing wildly with his hands, more expression on his face than Jesse ever thought he’d see, more expression than Hanzo would ever like to show (if he had his way). He probably hasn’t even realized what he looks like right now. Instead, he’s doing his level best to cuss Jesse from one end to the other. He’s spittin’ mad.
Oh.
Source of Light by YourAverageJoke [WIP; 10,745 words] Reccer comment: "unfinished but still sweet"
Hanzo wonders if perhaps he had realized it before. Cassidy has been a constant in his life lately, a steady presence he isn’t even ashamed to admit he’s more than a little fond of. It certainly explains how he ended up here; it had seemed natural, after having sat on his bed for hours, staring into the cold, dark abyss of insomnia, to seek out his favourite source of light, especially after he had spent almost two weeks in its constant glow.
Sharing a bed trope with a small twist, some insecurities, lots of sap, and a happy ending.
Explicit
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by KittenzCaboodle [34,828 words] Reccer comment: "18+ and one of my favorites"
The man first in line for the Shimada throne was the last picture that Cole had been given to memorize. Hanzo Shimada. They had said it was unlikely that he would be sent, as he was too important for such menial tasks, but he was the next likely candidate according to Genji.
He gazed longingly towards the door, aching to step outside and get a fresh breath of the cool night air. As he silently grumbled about the sweat rolling down his back, the bodies grinding against each other in the club making the place hot and steamy in all the wrong ways, he saw him.
Of all the people in the world, Hanzo Shimada, the worst possible person, had just walked through the door and was putting their entire Blackwatch mission at risk.
Somehow, Cole had to distract him long enough to for Genji to get out, and he was willing to do whatever it takes, even if he was caught between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea.
But when the Devil buys you dinner and is one of the nicest people you've ever met, then things get confusing.
Crossing Stars by ceasefire [3,488 words] Reccer comment: "Young angsty yeehan has my heart forever"
Hanzo Shimada sneaks out to meet his lover with the help of his brother. Unfortunately, it seems that this will be the last time that they will see one another, and Hanzo decides to throw caution to the wind and do what he really wants for a change.
Not That I'm Complaining by robocryptid [28,981 words] Reccer comment: "I've only read this about a hundred million times, no big uwu"
An AU in which both Shimadas join Blackwatch, and Cole Cassidy falls in love dick first. Approximately 50/50 porn to feelings.
Tell Me Yer Name by kylar [23,161 words] Reccer comment: "YOUNG ANGSTY YEEHAN HAS MY HEART FOREVER"
Hanzo escapes the castle for a breath of fresh air following a particularly difficult day with the clan, and finds one in a mysterious, handsome American cowboy that instantly earns Hanzo's attention. Hanzo knows from subtle clues that his presence in Hanamura could mean trouble for his clan and himself, but that doesn't stop him from carrying on a secret affair with the charming cowboy. It's just a fling though, and he knows it will end eventually. He'll be able to put the cowboy behind him and continue on with his responsibilities and duties to the Shimada Clan. Little does he know, it won't be that easy, and the cowboy's short presence in his life will have a dramatic and devastating impact on everything that is to follow their little affair.
to lie down with dogs by motorghost [65,540 words] Reccer comment: "This is one of my favorite fics in this fandom. I really like the character dynamic here."
Hanzo and Cole are on a top-secret reconnaissance mission in the industrialized wasteland of post-Crisis North Dakota, hunkered down in a factory ill-fit for human occupation. Cole seems fine with the situation, but Hanzo's doubts extend far beyond their little room.
To Share (Cake) is to Care by spinel [4,679 words] Reccer comment: "funny pining with an extra hilarious dose of obliviousness"
“Howdy, Hanzo.” McCree smiles sunnily. “I'm guessin' Athena didn't give you a heads up. My quarters—all of Wing 3's quarters are flooded. Angela's with Genji, Lena's in Angela's room, Lúcio and Hana are in the break room, Torbjörn and Reinhardt both snore like you wouldn't believe, Zenyatta's in Genji's room, and Athena won't let me use the training room for a nap.”
It takes a moment, but then Hanzo's eyes narrow. “Athena told you I had a futon.”

And that's it for the Week 13 recs! Thank you so much to everyone who submitted a recommendation.

doing my research data entry, listening to Stars's album No One Is Lost which was (and especially the titular, final song, was) my big Widowtracer music back when I was into Overwatch. And that is reminding me of how much what I liked about the Overwatch characters and lore was stuff that I made up - not even, necessarily, stuff the fandom made up (which was most of it - Overwatch lore was not good) but my own idiosynctratic preferences for ship dynamics.
At least I was into Reaper76 in the same way a lot of other people were, and Reaper/76/Ana the way a few of my other friends were. McHanzo and McGenji were hit-or-miss, McCree (back when he was McCree) & Pharah's sibling relationship prevalent but rarely a focus. But I never really found a lot that satisfied me about Widowmaker/Tracer, because I had such a specific view of what I wanted from them. One I made up because there really was not much there at all.
What I liked about the idea of them was Tracer moving fast staying bright in an attempt to outrun fear and fatalism and collapse by being aggressively optimistic; contrasted against Widowmaker who had accepted it all dully. Tracer desperate to prove that there was something left of Amelie in there, that she could be brought back. That she could be saved. That no one is lost. Proof that things could be okay in the wake of a shakeup in her world order that cast her adrift. That her world could make sense again.
Thinking about it, I'm continuously compelled by characters who are projecting their issues all over each other; especially in the manner of, I feel lost, hopeless, hurt, terrible, irredeemable. I don't believe I have a future, or can ever change, or have a place anymore, or atone for what I did, or can come back from this, or can be loved, or can be saved. But you're in a way worse mess than me, so I'm making it my project to save you, because if I can prove you can... that you can be better, that you can have a future, that you can belong, that you can atone, that you can be loved, that you can be saved... then maybe I can, too. I have to believe that, and that's why I believe in you when you've been written off and have written yourself off. And I'm going to keep reaching out.
And then I discovered Metal Gear Solid and it had a lot of the character dynamics I liked in my made-up headcanon Overwatch actually present in the text. I didn't have to make it up, it was actually there and intentionally and competently written. I was still kind of reading this dynamic into Snake and Meryl (still convinced they were projecting their issues about being loved and being abandoned all over each other in MGS1 and mistaking that for attraction) but a lot of what I liked about Reaper76 and McGenji and McHanzo and stuff was just... there.
And then I got into Wolf 359 where this redemption-by-proxy projection is just straight up textually what's happening between Eiffel and Hilbert. So: getting into fandoms for better written things with what I actually wanted in them is part of the solution here.
But also it was my Widowtracer experience that made me go, I am basically just making up my own character goals and interactions here. Why am I bothering to make it fanwork when it's basically an original story.
I never did put that anywhere. But women desperate to save each other, women desperate to prove they can be saved by saving each other, and women who have the nagging fear that they were wrong doing the evil version of this and trying to seek vindication and absolution through each other do crop up again and again in my imagination. Maybe I should pin that down sometime and give my headcanon Widowtracer the story they deserve.
#Maybe they can be in my clone generation ship that already has characters that started as expies of Naomi Hunter and Emma Emmerich#Two other characters I love who deserved a better story#Mara Fischer and Emmerson Kendrick you will always be famous. To Me.#... desperately trying to believe there's something worth living for is a big generation ship mood. hmmmm#Artemis rambles#midnight thoughts about what I like out of characters and stories#also someone tell me to write up my thoughts about Snake and Meryl in MGS1 because I think it only exists in twitter thread format#Overwatch#sorta

Ya’ll are saying Ganondorf as McCree because Matt Mercer is voicing him, I raise you Ganondorf as Yusuke Kitagawa. Imagine Ganondorf not being able to afford a final boss fight because he spent the whole budget on art supplies and lobsters.
Ganondorf: I WAS GOING THROUGH A PHASE!
