The Light You Deserve, an Overwatch fic by Havoka

After being ordered to “terminate” a certain company target, Satya makes a rash decision: to flee Vishkar and take whatever she can carry with her to the Atlantic Arcology, where Niran, eager for her company, promises she’ll be safe. But once the adrenaline wears off, reality begins to sink in–her life as she knew it is over. She’s floundering, and lost without the routines she’s come to live by.  When Niran saw Satya’s loyalties wavering, he pounced on the opportunity to both rescue his dear friend and stick it to Vishkar. Satya was the only person who ever truly understood him, and he’s been so very alone all these years without her. But when he realizes how much she’s struggling to adapt to life on the run, he begins to question how much of Satya’s “liberation” was strictly for his own benefit.  The bond they share is unquestionable. What Niran is left wondering is if that bond is what Satya deserves. 

After over a year, I'm overjoyed to announce...

beyond the Eldest Daughter syndrome, Anran also has a variety of fun and interesting traits, such as:

repression skills so efficient that her wants and desires have been crushed down into a perfect little cube in her mind and then hidden away out of sight

acid reflux

codependency with her little brother because she has no idea who she is outside of being a daughter or sister

rogue Unrepressed Feelings after training with Sierra, who can best her without breaking a sweat (good because finally someone who can give her a challenge. bad because Anran has no identity outside of being The Best. confusing because why does Sierra look so pretty even all covered in sweat like that)

chronic dehydration

a stress-induced autoimmune disease that will manifest by her 30th birthday

Something I have considered a lot about their dynamic is that Shion does seem to be written with the intent of caring for Mizuki. It's a very classic "hurt people hurt people" dynamic, I think, in which she has gone through immense suffering, which caused her to form a persona and ideal set that prevents her from more suffering. Her treatment of Mizuki, in some ways, seems to be a leash that is made to prevent him from suffering in the same way, while also existing as a way for her to express her pain onto someone dependent enough on her emotionally and physically that she did not ever think they would leave. (After all, suffering does not a good person make. Just one that has known suffering.)

This being said, I considered the idea that he would, especially in the beginning as a recently orphaned child, go to her for comfort. She would never allow it, I personally believe, unless she had a way of displacing the entirety of the decision onto him. Hence this concept, in which she is charging or something akin to it, and Mizuki comes and crawls into her arms, dragging one of them over him in the facsimile of an embrace. She would never lie down like this in a totally unaware state, she's too paranoid. But since she can tell that it is only Mizuki, she remains in her "sleep mode", such that she can claim it was in no way her decision.
