hello there! i've been reading thru the mcgenji fic you've reblogged and it's pretty a+ stuff, you have great taste! do you have a list of favorite fics for the pairing? (and i don't know if you read it much, but maybe any mcreyes too?) thank u for your great tumblr!

aww thank you! i’m glad i could promote those fic authors. they deserve it. if u can, leave a comment on their fic.

mcgenguuuus

suzukiblu / @suzukiblu ; their daemon fic in particular is TASTY. (although if youve been thru my tag, you’ve prolly devoured their work already…)

the cowboy who loved me - downamongthedeadmen ; the retribution fic. The Retribution Fic. please, i am so weak, this is so good, i am crying also.

Dispense with Right and Wrong - BrushDog ; incomplete and possibly abandoned, this one is more of a dense fic about mccree settling into overwatch… but also, may i draw attention to the Traitor Mccree AU tag. the character relationships had me legit crying if i remember, god it’s been so long since i read this. but it IS technically mcgenji, even tho genji doesn’t appear for like 10 chapters or something. shoutout to brushdog, you make words good…

love like yours - tanyart ; i can rec tanyart in general, but i think their trademark fic is selfcest or at least, some kind of LITERAL confrontation between past and present or present and future selves, which is a wildly satisfying concept when applied liberally to ow character, such as genji who evolves so much throughout the known timeline. also, mccree is there.

Via Purifico - @madamerioulette ; i stan mcwooffer. plenty of fascinating mythical beasts and lore mixed in with the general intrigue of talon vs overwatch, but also how it bled over to affect the shimada clan.

mcreyes

thereweregiants ; all of their stuff hits me right in the honey nut feelios. they’re very conscious of gabe allowing himself to be romanced after jesse’s grown into his role as his second in command, and every single fic taps into tastiest worldbuilding details. their lastest is a miss congeniality au where mcree has to go undercover at a beauty pageant??? uhm hell yes.

Dust Into Diamonds - whiskeyandguns ; look. i’m gonna put in a horny fic. this author has two mcreyes fic that i have bookmarked. they’re both great. this one, i think, is my favorite of the two. don’t talk to me.

Resist series - eastwood ; its an abo series, but like. gabe’s the omega and he still commands respect. the more i explain the more i explain the more embarrassed i am typing this, but GOD? this is still going on the rec list.

LOOK! thereweregiants has less horny fics. plenty of them, i’ll rec them again.

Following the traditions of the young justice community, I propose that we call the Connor/dick/Artemis ship Ocean's Three, because Richard + Connor + Artemis = Rich Con-Artists.

YES, this is exactly what i wanted when i ask “what’s their shipname”

RICH CON ARTISTS

Hey Vex, do you have any r76 fic recs? :D

:D hell ye, i do. here are three of my favs.

When We Were Young by Judge Coffee. EXPLICIT. my notes on this one is literally “IM YELLING THIS WAS SO GOOD. THE GRAY MORALITY. KING AND QUEEN OF THE COURT. NATHAN!!!!! ANA!!!!!!! THEM!!!!!!” it’s a long read but i was happy to stay up til 4am.

perfect somehow by littlemachines. ALSO EXPLICIT. this one makes me so emo, on account of me being a huge reaper fan. it’s doubly good on account of being even better when i came back to reread it. the author is the type to weave subtle threads that make the ending note hit even harder.

And Now, Like Always Ever by crookedfingers. explicit too /shifty eyes. look this one takes place post-overwatch, post-everything, and it’s such a rare dynamic. there’s a lot of hurt and comfort here, but we also get see how outsiders react to (in)famous ex Strike Commander Morrison....

i was hesitant to get into r76 because i KNOW people like to go wild with the Latino Lover trope, and it’s awful to read, but... some of these fics are honestly so amazing. and long!? i’m glad these writers exists.

also... bc i feel obligated to rec one sfw fic:

When I give, I give myself by Achromos. the premise is so fucking good. it’s an unfinished fic, but i’m incredibly keen on where the author takes the fic, because honestly. anything could happen. 

and remember to leave kudos/comments. show those authors some love.

can someone read McGenji fanfic without knowing nothing about Overwatch? bc I'm in this ship pretty bad, but I never played the game. :/

i think that’d be a huge compliment to the writer in question, so please go for it. imagine the writer getting a comment like “i dont even go here but i love how you write that green ninja cyborg and his funky fresh cowboyfriend”. 

also: even in the game, backstory doesn’t matter, so u wont catch me saying "oh u GOTTA play game to get it”. bc lbr, the characters are so rich and cool and awesome, but the game is like “12 random assholes duke it out across the globe, and sometimes you have to fight enemy tracer even tho YOURE tracer”

ALSO also: the game lore is pretty patchy anyway, so there’s 5 million ways to interpret things. like we know the basic timeline of genji was shimada clan -> blackwatch -> overwatch -> shambali -> ???? -> recall overwatch, but we don’t know the details aside from hanzo attempting to kill genji and blackwatch saving him. my point here is: there is no True Interpretation.

anyway, tl;dr: here’s a link to Gunmetal Black and Via Purifico because yes. first one could be canon-compliant if canon existed. second one is AU that features everyone’s favorite werewolf mccree.

[superdraconic]

Yo! I don't even know about the Overwatch characters, and you have me shipping McGenji. I know nothing about their traits and I'm here like "YAS!" Fuck you! xD

LMAO, you’re welcome. 

i’m right there with you. i’m not even into dusty old westerns, but somehow the cowboy and the cyborg ninja dude are my FAVORITES.

…so i know you’re not into overwatch, buuuuut hmu if you ever want me to point in the direction of my fav writers or artists. ;;;;)
