Notes: written for Zenyatta Zine. This is the scene referenced in On the River of Time, when Zenyatta was young and prone to tantrums.

Summary:
The Shambali visit a very famous museum, Zenyatta as a fight with Mondatta, and what makes someone's identity is questioned.

Excerpt:

“What's history to you, Zenyatta?”

“A human affair.” Zenyatta sounded bitter to his own sensors.

“It very much is,” Mondatta conceded. He gestured at the paintings surrounding them. “Most of this ancient art exists because someone wanted to be remembered in history, either in name or effigy. What do omnics have in their name, in the flow of history?”

“A war.” Zenyatta turned to look at Mondatta. “So you know.”

Notes: //

Summary:
Jesse makes a living out of writing trashy romance novels, but a bad break up gives him the worst writer's block. He finds inspiration in Gabriel's coffee shop. Or maybe just in Gabriel, really.

Excerpt:

Jesse felt like he could spin a thousand stories just looking at Gabriel; with those wide shoulders he could've been a superhero, or a soldier, or maybe a firefighter, but he also had careful hands like a surgeon or a florist, and the passionate, kind tone of a teacher. He could've based a thousand characters on him, and God knew Jesse needed all the help he could get, stuck as he was with his writing. Well, that was his excuse, anyway.

Notes: for ScubaJack4, thanks for your support!

Summary:
A sparring session between Gabriel Reyes and Jack Morrison ends up taking care of their pent up tensions in more senses than one.

Excerpt:

They managed to take each other down a couple times each; as the fight dragged on, the energy between them started changing. They weren't trying to land as many punches as humanly possible anymore; they read each other movements, leaning into them, keeping the flow going, like a conversation, like a dance. From angry to hungry.

Notes: Questa storia partecipa alla Nona Edizione del COWT di LandeDiFandom per la M2 della terza settimana, con il seguente prompt: Tutte le famiglie felici si somigliano. (Lev Tolstoj, Anna Karenina)

Summary:
Family is a concept unfamiliar to Genji. He eventually learns what it means, and he wants Hanzo to have the same thing he has.

Excerpt:

Genji cleans and meditates and cooks for himself. He wonders about these omnics who were born without mothers, without fathers, without siblings. They formed their own families, unashamed of their need of being together.

Notes: my entry for the Blackwatch Big Bang! Finally it's done!

Summary:
Certain Genji's issues come into the open and Gabriel is made aware of them. Things aren't that simple.

Excerpt:

Control has always been his job; to create choices where none were available, to keep his sleeves full of aces when they were dealt a bad hand, to capture pieces when the enemy started crawling too close across the board— Gabriel was always meant to be the Queen of this game of chess.

Summary:

Excerpt:

“Good,” Genji says. “I’m going to sit on you, now.”
Jesse blinks, and hypothermia or no hypothermia, he suddenly feels a flush creeping up his neck. “Sorry, you’re doing what, now?” he babbles.

Jesse steps out of the training range and immediately regrets it; the air is cold and biting and not even the serape wrapped around his neck can keep the chill out. He rubs his gloved hands together and he looks around, squinting at the glare of the snow. It’s a beautiful day, the mountains are covered in snow and the sky is blue, but it doesn’t mean anything out here; it’s always winter at watchpoint: Bern.

He spots Genji perched at the very edge of the farthest platform and swears under his breath; he’s always telling him that cowboys can’t fly or jump or climb or whatever it is that ninja like him do, but he suspects that Genji enjoys giving him grief. He starts walking, gritting his teeth against the cutting wind; by the time he reaches the ninja, Jesse can’t feel his fucking face.

Summary:
Hanzo has been falling for McCree, but he isn't sure about the cowboy's feelings on the matter.

Excerpt:

“Are we dating?” Hanzo interrupts him with sudden clarity, and he’s glad that it comes out slightly flat and confused, because he would rather die than sound frightened and panicky as he’s feeling now. He spent all that time wondering if McCree was even interested in the first place but maybe, maybe they were already past that.
