Let My Sad Kids Have Families, Blizzard: the series
[Pre-Fall]
Together - Post-London, Gabe and Jack sit down and talk. Well, they try. Kind of. Gabe is mostly smug that sending Jesse in was the right call and Jack is inclined to kick Gabe’s ass for being a smug bastard. Still, at least he’s making Jack feel better about the whole pissing off the UN thing.
“But we didn’t get caught up,” Gabe pointed out, dropping heavily into one of the stiff chairs in front of Jack’s desk. He kicked his boots up, expression daring Jack to make him move. “Hostages are safe, the cowboy’s home, and we pissed off the UN. Sounds like a good day.”
[Post-Fall/Pre-Recall]
Home - Angela visits the McCrees’ home, sips some beer, and shoots the shit with a certain cowboy.
“Angela didn’t want to go back to work, didn’t feel interested in the snow and cold that she’d grown up in, just wanted to bask in the setting sun with her best friend and his family and never worry again.”
[Post-Recall]
Enough (Dedicated to @snowsheba) - A healthy dose of Hana & Soldier: 76 bonding over guns. He also gets tricked into streaming with her.
He took the stall next to her, and set about loading his rifle. Hana picked up her gun again. “Hana Song, call sign D.Va. I’m assuming you’re Soldier: 76.”
“The one and only.”
Sheep’s Clothing - Neither McCree or Hana are as dumb as they seem, but they’ll let you think what you want.
“From the moment Hana met him, she could tell the cowboy, McCree, was the same. Hide behind the charm and play dumb and look a little ridiculous, and no one suspects a viper underneath it all.”
Suspicion - Hana figures out who 76 is. He’s not exactly happy, but Hana doesn’t exactly care. She likes to know who her coworkers are.
“Athena tells me you’ve been digging through old personnel files,” he said, no pleasantries. His stance was closed off, defensive. “What are you looking for?”
Hana gave him an incredulous look, master of her trade. “Just looking, 76! Can’t I be curious?”
“No,” 76 replied cooly. “Don’t give me that shit, Hana. What are you looking at?”
Family - Angela offers an olive branch to Hanzo in the form of chai tea and a serious-but-not conversation.
“You remind me of your brother, when I first met him.”
He nearly choked, not expecting her voice to be gentle and delicate, mostly because she scared the everloving fuck out of him. “I’m sorry?”
“The whole brooding thing,” she continued, quicker and marginally harsher. “Is that some sort of tradition? You don’t seek proper help for your issues and instead brood in the rain?”
La Toile de L'araignée (The Spider's Web) - Since Ana Amari's "death", no one except Tracer has challenged Widowmaker on the rooftops. She has never had to worry about other snipers, until now. Needless to say, Widowmaker is a bit surprised when an archer sends her running.
Widowmaker smiled as she leaned forward, visor clicking down with a hiss. Her finger closed on the trigger, the cowboy’s head dangerously close to a gap, his shadow showing how deliciously close he was to catching a bullet.
“Just a bit more, chéri. Let me see your pretty face.”
