Hanzos super dramatic edgy angsty diary entry vs mcree's goofy one + like, a shopping list or a note he jotted down for the same days entry. Also they have crushes on each other. I cant brain phasing for a writing prompt but it sounds cute

Hanzo kept a journal. It was a battered little book. Black, cream pages, unlined. It was filled with tidy rows of Japanese and messy lines of English, intermixed with folded papers, pressed flowers, and polaroid photographs. 

... my heart plummeted like a comet when I realized that it was my own long-dead brother that was standing before me as firmly as a mountain. It was a reversal akin to looking in a mirror, where he is the stronger sibling sent to kill me in my moment of weakness, even as I mourned deeply for him and deeply honored his memory... was an excerpt from an earlier page. tucked needly inside that page was a boarding pass to Gibraltar, doodles on the back of a badly rendered dog, a poor likeness of a tree, and a sketch of a flanking plan for a three story house. 

... in an hour of fragile weakness, I was convinced to come here by my damned conscience. Given where it has led me before, I should not have trusted it to lead me down this tumultuous path. Genji is more different than I ever could have guessed, which is largely my own fault, due to my vast oversight and negligence.....which is why I shall never trust that horrid, scrawny man to cook for me again. And yet all of this is not yet the worst part. The worst part of all the terrible things to happen to me is that damned cowman who insists upon pestering me, aggravating obnoxious... was a lengthy stretch of complaining, with several notes folded in.

Several small notes of welcome from various members, most notably his brother, but one in particular stood out.

Hey there! Welcome to the base! I heard from Genji you’re another sharpshooter I would love to get together with you sometime to run you through some of the training programs I’ve put together I think it would be a lot of fun especially from some of the stories Genji’s told me let me know if you’re interested! -JM 

It was loopy writing, slightly cramped. There was a small smiley face beside the initials, right over an equally cramped xo. It was written on sunshine yellow stationary.

Several weeks forward there was another note: Thanks for making sure I got back okay last night next time we go out drinks are on me okay? Friday sound good? Let me know darl -JM 

This was a page ahead of a rather mournful entry. I have never had a more horrendous hangover. I wish that I was not so utterly foolish to deliberately seek out the things that make me most miserable in life, but certainly nothing is more miserable than missing your morning run to kneel in front of the toilet. I feel utterly pathetic and defeated by mere alcohol. If I am remembering correctly, the bane of my existence is called tekilla. I shall not make these grievous mistakes again, no matter what that damn cowman says in a sad attempt to convince me otherwise. 

A mere three pages later was a printed photo of Hanzo, Jesse, Lena, Hana, and Genji, all standing around a table, faces flushed and shots of tequila held high, a plate of limes and a half empty bottle of tequila in the center of the table.

Closer to the end of the journal were more bad doodles. Genji’s faceplate, one of Zenyatta’s orb, Jesse’s beloved hat that wasn’t too terrible, Soldier’s visor that was absolutely horrible. Shorter entries were more prevalent as well.

Another successful mission. Soba and Udon were happy to stretch their wings.

Solder 76 made a “proper American dinner” today. I suspect he used all of the butter on base. Mei is quite put out that there is none for her tea. 

Jesse sheds like a dog. My bed is covered in his hair.

Today’s mission was successful, though barely.

I think Junkrat has fleas.

Jesse wore his boots without spurs today and managed to sneak up on Genji. He almost took out his hat. 

With these shorter entries came more notes as well.

Ask Lucio about his new single. I think you’ll see he took some inspiration from you. Could be Gen, but I think it’s you. -JM

Dinner tonight? -JM

Remind me to get more butter tomorrow when we’re at the store. -JM

Found your hair ribbon in the locker room. Looks mighty fine on my hat. Come find me -JM

I think Junkrat has fleas?? -JM

Love ya darl -JS
