Even Pups Have Sharp Teeth By Rhoxia. Young Jesse McCree is a child abandoned, but who want's a furious five year old? Especially a cursed one?

I love dad Reyes, it's my favorite thing ever + plus a little reaper76 because thats also fabulous.

Those Handcuffs By LeftHand (@mccrees-left-arm). The soulmarks represent a defining moment in your life regarding your soulmate. It could be the first thing they say to you or a special way in which they tell you that they love you. A drawing on your hand or even a signature, jotted brash and brazen for all to see. Hanzo's was a little different.

Wild and fun adventure which leads to beautiful domestic-ness.

Unscripted By W4nderingStar (@w4nderingstarfanfics). Gabriel Reyes is out of his element and out of ideas for his comic. He just wants to get through this con and find some inspiration. Good thing inspiration can take many forms. This time it just so happens to come in the form of a hot cosplayer.

They're just, so, flipping, soft and wonderful guys. And like, the chemistry feels really genuine. 10/10

Home is Not a Place By sksNinja (@sksninja). Time has been long, and there is much Hanzo does not remember. Seemingly destined to fade away, a desperate decision and a complete stranger might change that.

It's fun, we love a good mythology based AU, pulled at my heart strings and loved the ending.

oftentimes have we laid out (toil nor danger fearing) By faorism (@faorismwork). Heartbroken and disbelieving, Hanzo calls Jesse to his cabin after hearing a rumor that his beloved boatswain might be in league with a man planning to mutiny against him. The truth will out, but not before Hanzo can indulge in what might be his last time with Jesse.

Fluffy, Sexy, backstory driven. What more could you want in a fic. Character motivations feel very real and the whole story is a delight to read.

Sweet as Honey By Batkatbrown. Jesse McCree has survived through hell. He's learned not to trust. It's not just his life on the line after all. He has his little sister to protect. He will do anything to make sure she has food and shelter, no matter how it makes shame burn in his guts. They get a tiny apartment and Mabel can finally go back to school. They're scraping together a life. He avoids relationships. Mabel is his entire world but the lonely ache in his chest never goes away. Hanzo Shimada has escaped the demons of his past and left his family clan behind. He's happy as a banker and big brother. Well, maybe not happy, but content to spend his days with his head buried in numbers and his evenings alone. He tells himself it's enough. He has two point five friends, a luxury apartment, a collection of vintage cars and... no one meaningful to share it with. The silver starting at his temples and goatee remind him every day he's into his thirties with only his brother as company. Until he meets Jesse McCree outside a grocery store with a ruined birthday cake for a little girl at his feet. It wouldn't hurt to do one good thing for a stranger. Besides, he loves spending his money on people who needed it.

Oml ya'll, this took forever for me to finish but literally feeds into my favorite trope. It's adorable and retrospective and great!

The Epic and Wondrous Tale of the Librarian and the Demon Hunter By annella (@sherribonne). Jesse's got a pretty good job as the librarian in a magical library. He spends his days cataloguing, tracking down rare titles, fixing up the occasional spell gone awry, and dealing with the smoke monster in the basement. Then Hanzo Shimada, Demon Hunter, shows up to turn his world upside down.

World building and characters are the most fabulous thing literally.

Reading Overwatch fanfiction then going back to play the game is one of the weirdest thought process

Ok so I just watched “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the 10 Rings”. This is literally the most perfect Hanzo + Genji thing, like guys.

Summary: It’s like they’re playing house, except the house is haunted by the ghosts of McCree’s past. Hanzo cleans out every closet, drawer, and cobweb, unaware that with each shiny surface he exposes, something unknown and unthinkable shakes loose.

Story: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30851207

A collection of Tweets about the announced decision from the Overwatch Team to rename their cowboy, which itself is a considerately written statement from that team, that I think are good to keep in mind. Also note that Overwatch League casters have dropped using the name "McCree" on-air and have been remarking they support a name change earlier this month.

From Anna Funk, UX designer for PlayStation:

Two tweets from Anna Funk: "This gigantic undertaking that will take way more time, consideration and hard work from hundreds of people will cost a lot more than a "PR stunt" And it doesn't take away from the efforts to create a safer, more equitable environment. There's no reason to complain. They are setting new standards that help combat "Rockstar" behavior and worship that caused problematic workplace environments. This is not a bandaid that they're putting over a deep cut. It's one of many stitches that will help the wound heal."

From Rebekah Valentine, reporter for IGN:

A series of Tweets from Rebekah Valentine: "lot of people with some real hot takes about the name change. obviously this can only be one part of the solution but it absolutely has to be one part of the solution. dude was an abuser -- you can't have your game headlined with a character carrying his name. especially if you were about to release a ton of content about that specific character!!! come on. the OW team clearly made this decision from within -- they can't control what the parent company does about this, but they can make the changes THEY have power over, like this. the people shredding HR documents and the people in charge of cowboy naming are two different sets of people"

From Adam, Product Support Manager at Blizzard:

Tweet from Adam @.Glaxigrav: "Still AFK but a point here - changing this is important to the employees, and it's important to remove what the name represented with respect to a loved character. This does not alleviate the rest of our demands for a fair and equitable workplace. But this is a good change."

From Jessica Gonzalez, Senior Test Analyst at Blizzard:

Tweet from Jessica Gonzalez: "YOU CAN BE HAPPY ABOUT SMALL CHANGES AND STILL FIGHT FOR BIG CHANGES"

Generally, going through the Twitters for various current and former rank-and-file employees of Activision-Blizzard, they find this to be a change they support and find meaningful as a first step. It's important to keep in mind that this is not a statement from Blizzard.

It will take resources and work to implement (signaling it is not just a PR stunt, think of all the voice re-recording alone, and Overwatch already has a problem booking their actors), it cuts off abusers from being lauded and having positive legacy in the space, it diminishes the toxic rockstar behavior, I've seen hope that it pressures other teams to also break silence to speak publicly and take similar first steps, and it is supported by the people on the ground.

Summary: If there’s one thing Jesse McCree can’t figure out, it’s Hanzo Shimada. The man is brusque, distant, and often an asshole. He agreed to help the Recall crew, but then seems to want nothing to do with them. Except he’s always hanging around, just on the edge of things, lurking.

Or maybe it’s just Jesse he’s lurking around, because a chance encounter in the kitchen finally clues Jesse in to Hanzo’s secret - and he knows the perfect way to get a little revenge.

Story: Read it here!

Can McCree just be half bear all the time please, it’s just so adorable.

Literally everyone having the same reaction to a fic. This should be fun 😑

Now Streaming: Love! By AughtPunk (@aughtpunk). Welcome to D.Va's Twitch Stream! Normally she streams battles and really hard video games, but tonight she's streaming something very special indeed: Romance blooming between her teammates! Will McCree and Hanzo finally kiss? Who is Genji sneaking off with? And will Hana ever realize that Lucio is flirting with her??? Can love bloom on the battlefield? Will the internet explode when it does? Either way Hana is there to capture every second of it!

The Cooking Cowboy, with Jesse McCree by SadakoTetsuwan (@sadakotetsuwan). It had started simple—he just needed a good recipe for matcha cake to surprise Genji on his birthday, and so he’d started clicking around for tutorials on YouTube. But now Hanzo is in deep, and is officially part of ‘The Chuckwagon’; the mostly middle-aged, mostly female fan following of YouTube cooking sensation Jesse McCree, the Cooking Cowboy. How had his life come to this?

Y’all it’s so fluffy, note it is currently unfinished but what is done is so worth the read.

No way home by bowblade. After a run in with Blackwatch and Jesse's freedom being the price to pay, Ashe is left with no choice but to let it happen.

Ashe and Jesse being besties for life, but also like (especially after Deadlock Rebels) it’s so sad watching these two splitting up.

Wandering Home by Dracoduceus (@classywastelandbread).

Ace Trainer McCree was only looking for a battle to fill the time as he traveled. Instead he found the grumpiest Fisherman he had ever met. After insulting him without meaning to, McCree gets an unexpected chance to make amends when he comes across an injured Magikarp.

Amazing developing relationship which feels so natural, but like not a slow burn?...

😅

My preferred way of falling asleep is reading fanfiction till first morning light when my eyes give out and my brain stops understanding words

uproot by inexorableformation. A friend of a friend.

It’s sorta story clips and bits of Reaper, Bap and sombra leaving talon but like living life on the road and Bap healing everyone; pls check it out, it’s awesome

All That We Were by Dracoduceus (@classywastelandbread). His instructions were deceptively simple: visit the planet Hanamura and bring back two of the sons of the famous Shimada Clan. McCree, captain of the Santa Fe and an independent contractor that worked with the Overwatch space station, should have known better than to think that anything about this would go according to plan.

Part of a great series- world building is beautiful!

Muy Cómico by Zavijah. Jack, farm boy and junior in high school, thinks he has his life under control. At least until he's forced into a strained alliance with long time nemesis, Gabriel Reyes. It changes everything. Jack struggles to figure out what he wants out of life, but finds it hard to break free from the cage he’s built around himself.

They have to run a sports team thing, and they just fit so well. Plus the set up friend groups and cliques give me life!!
