okay i know i only got started here a little bit ago... BUT, i need to feel out if i should follow a premise for a rarpair in over watch that has a lot of potential. that being... roadzo, or hanhog whatever you wish to call it. roahog and hanzo are far and away polar opposites... probably farther then most pairs. but, lemme run this past you... they have a decent amount in common.
Hanzo is a man tormented by his past deeds, the loss he endured in the name of traditions, he strives to find meaning for his life and to restore honor to himself.
Roadhog is a man who was affronted by a change to his world he had a hand in helping to create. fighting back as a means to survive is no longer his goal as he holds a cruel eye and a deep pain for his losses.
so the AU i have in mind thus far is set in a city environment somewhere scuzzy but with enough glitz to bring in night life. Mako is the step dad to jamison, he works 3rd shift and for what it’s worth is a hard working man. he does his best to keep his step son on the straight and narrow but, his ex is no help at all and lets the twitchy pyro run wild as long as it doesn’t fuck with her life or draining money from mako. hanzo is and should by no ordinary circumstances even have met mako... but, as his life’s work slowly spirals into the control of someone who wishes to do nothing but rip it for all it’s worth, while his entire career is straining every relationship he has to breaking points. a chance meeting they find eachother... not to say they like each other at all but when someone can share a pain as deep as yours, you find yourself slowly relying on them.
that’s what i wanna write about.
