Notes: aka, The One Where Kasi Get Murdered. This is not a happy story. It doesn't have a happy ending.
Apologies to Kasi, I didn't mean to murder you ♥ Remember I love youuuu
Summary:
Excerpt:
“You feeling any better?” Gabriel asked, looking at the new picture. He kinda liked the other one more still, even though the light wasn’t the best and Jack was frowning, but the goofy smile and the embarrassed pose in this one was nice, too.
“I still might throw up on Petra’s shoes if he looks at me wrong, but it’s a significantly lower percentage than earlier.” Jack sighed, shoving his hands in his pockets. “You were right though, the fresh air did me good.”

Notes: Fill per la M5 della Ottava Settimana del COWT di Lande Di Fandom
Summary:
Genji and McCree meet again during the Recall, and they realize that things aren't the same as they were in Blackwatch anymore. They have a chance to start again.
Excerpt:
Their days in the Recalled Overwatch were like family pictures from another universe. Many things were just as Jesse remembered them- but right when he was sinking in the illusion of having travelled ten years in the past, a tiny detail yanked him back in the present.
Like the sound of that laughter.

No matter how many times Zenyatta tried to place Harmony on him, a shadow lurked on his student’s soul; but every time they came back to Nepal the darkness lifted, and something in Genji blossomed with new life and relief, a peace that the omnic master couldn’t feel within him anywhere else. It was beautiful, and his soul longed to resonate with it, to breath it in.
“It’s really you, isn’t it?” he mumbled, and Gabriel ached at the pain in Jack’s voice.No, he wanted to answer. I died that day when I thought you hadn’t made it. But Jack was there in front of him, alive and angry and scared and somehow still hopeful- and Gabe hated that he could still read Jack’s emotions just by looking at him. Old as he looked, he wasn’t any different.
Gabriel smiled, a bit tightly, and turned his hand to squeeze Jack’s. “I wanted to ask if you wanted to come with us to New York for three weeks,” he finally said. “I know it’s a lot I’m asking- you’d be stuck with the three pests all day while I’m at work, but I got them to pinky swear they’ll be on their best behaviour-”“You got Olivia to pinky swear?” Jack asked, appropriately impressed, making Gabe grin.
“A spiritual awakening is the beginning of a journey,” the omnic reminded him, gently. “Even now, I’m still learning about myself and about the world. I had even more to learn back then. I was young and confused and I had finally won my right to stay outside, to watch the birds and the trees- to experience life. I was very opposed to staying in a room, answering rude questions about the authenticity of my capability to feel.”“I cannot imagine you… restless,” Genji admitted, fully turning towards Zenyatta and leaning with a hip against the railing. “I’ve never known you but calm and collected.”“Restless is a very kind word to describe myself from back then,” Zenyatta admitted, feeling the grasp on his orbs grow weaker for a moment as his systems got flooded by embarrassment. “I was reckless, stubborn. You could say I had issues with authority.”Genji snorted. “Forgive me, but that has changed how?” he sassed the omnic.Zenyatta couldn’t help but burst into a surprised fit of giggles. “Oh my. That’s rude,” he scolded him, but he was still laughing, unable to keep it from bursting from his voice box.
“Well,” Jack said, freeing his hands and smoothing them down his arms until he could lace their fingers together. “You don’t have to wear that, if you don’t want to.”{ read on AO3 }“It’s a black tie event, Jack. It kinda means that I need to wear a suit, if I want to get in.”“It means you can’t go with your usual ratty hoodie and a pair of sweatpants,” Jack huffed. “It doesn’t mean that you can’t wear something else.” He hesitated, suddenly shy. “Like, a gown?”
