Summary
The loud, sickening crack of his bones breaking drowned out the wet thud of the other man's body hitting the ground beside him. Pain, hot and crackling, consumed his lower body in a burning rush. His visor shattered with a burst of sparks when his head slammed against the dirty floor, his vision blinking out and leaving him completely blind, the communicator crushed and hissing before it to gave out with a dying whine. His lungs didn't even give him air enough to scream. Blood filled his mouth, gurgling as he tried in vain to force words past his lips. Gabe, Gabe I'm down here, please don't—
The other man started to scream.

Summary
Even if the sky must fall, even if they take us all;
There's no pain that I won't go through, even if I have to die for you—Scrimshaw, whalers carving the bones of the very leviathans they had slaughtered. Just why such an antiquated word bubbled into his mind at that moment was lost on him but he couldn't help but find it ironic, or at least morbidly fitting. If anything remained of him after Reyes was done with him, he supposed his final act would be carved into his bones like the great whales, a last act of defiance from a dying creature scrawled across glistening bone, as he plunged his knife into his own chest.

Summary
Several smoky tendrils reached up towards him, waving gently as though they were grain in a breeze. The red core leaned near, close enough that Reaper could easily grab at him but instead he kept reaching, waiting for Jack to make the first move. The visor had trouble reading him in his current form, and when he extended his left hand toward the fuzzy, glitchy mass the lack of depth perception caused him to bump into his root-like reaches instead of just closing the gap. The tendrils wrapped gently around his fingers and slipped under the sleeve to slither up his arm. He could feel his cold touch spreading under his jacket, slick against his skin where he pooled and rippled around his torso. His core settled over his chest, nestled beneath his clothes and his heartbeat pulse steady and calm, the hundreds of tendrils wrapped around and burrowed into his body affixing him there. Jack knew he should have been in pain but he wasn't, aware only of the persisting star-like points of cold where the nanites passed through his skin, forming strange and unearthly constellations in his flesh. The way he rooted into him, wound through and around his bones like a gnarled, ancient tree, bound them together.

Summary
"I'm tempted to just eat you, be rid of you once and for all." Gabe broke the silence as he leaned in close, his voice barely above a whisper as he grinned into Jack's neck. The edges of the heavy black cloak draped over the both of them like a burial shroud, blocking out what little light there was in the enclosed space. Jack swallowed hard, trying to control the trembling of his limbs that had only gotten worse as more of his blood stained the floor beneath him. The bodies he'd seen, drained of life and desolate, jumped to the forefront of his awareness. "It'd be a kindness, really, sparing Overwatch's golden boy from dying in the dirt like a stray dog. Can't have that pretty reputation of yours getting sullied, can we Jack?"

Summary
A collection of self-contained but sequential oneshots on the evolving and tumultuous emotional landscape of Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes, Soldier 76 and Reaper, before and after the Recall to Watchpoint.
"Why did all the pretty beasts flock to the tar, only to slowly die? They knew no better, as to the parched and trusting the tar appeared as welcoming water, not seeing it for the predator it was until it swallowed them whole."

Summary
I'm bad at summaries but this is basically, what if Jack went back to Indiana and retired with a farm instead of becoming Soldier: 76

Summary
The infamous Soldier: 76 has been captured by Talon and is being held prisoner while they try to beat information out of him. He can't imagine putting those he formerly considered family in danger, and he's set on keeping his mouth shut or dying trying to, but the one interrogating him seemingly knows all the ways to get under his skin.
Gabriel has been dead for almost a decade. He wants nothing more than to exact revenge upon those who deserve it, those who made him into what he is now. The perfect opportunity comes right into his lap and he can't remember the last time he was this excited to dig his claws into a prisoner. But why is he so scared of Jack figuring out who he is?
