When a fic is everything you’ve ever wanted but hasn’t been updated since 1978
So true. I’ve been called homophobic and other disgusting things for pushing back after being harassed for shipping f/m ships… despite also shipping same-sex ships. Like holy shit just let people ship what they wanna ship, gay or straight or bi or pan or WHATEVER. It’s not that hard to do. I personally really don’t care for pharmercy or meihem for example, but I don’t fucking harass the people who enjoy them
Who needs to go outside when you got bae and video games?
About the extra post that had to do with Your Name Gency, I can’t post it today since I don’t have my laptop on me. 😦 Sorry if I disappointed anyone. I’ll try my best to have it posted tomorrow!
I imagine that D.Va, upon meeting Zenyatta for the first time, is extremely cold towards him. She excuses herself from the room ASAP, not even trying to hide how much she wants to get away from the omnic. Lucio watches this and, after warmly saying goodbye to Zenyatta, runs to catch up with her. Grabbing her shoulder, he confronts her about her behavior towards their newest member of Overwatch. She is surprisingly defensive and even petty about this – much to Lucio’s confusion. He presses on, insisting that she needs to be friendlier to Zenyatta because the world is watching and she’s being selfish not to try to set a better example. D.Va bristles at that, shouting that she isn’t selfish just for not wanting to be buddy-buddy with an omnic. Angry now, Lucio brings up her ruthlessness towards omnics when she fought in the Korean MEKA’s – even livestreaming her kills.
D.Va freezes at his words – shock and hurt clearly shown in her eyes. Tears welling up, she shoves him hard.
“You don’t know anything,” she spits, running away.
Later when he’s cooled off, Lucio rewatches some of her old streams from the Omnic Crisis. Seeing how cheerfully she cut down one omnic after another, at first he thinks he was right about her. But the more he watches, the more he notices the little cracks in her facade – the occasional tremor in her voice as she addresses her audience in the camera, the almost manic way her eyes dart around, the twitch in her smile when an omnic dies a particularly brutal death. And he realizes that at the end of every battle she smiles to the camera, reassuring the audience that everything will be okay because she’s protecting them.
And it hits him: how she had been drafted into the war, how she always thought of giving her audience hope, and how big her burdens truly were.
He runs.
It takes awhile, but he eventually finds her huddled up in the training room with the lights out. She doesn’t notice him immediately. She seems to be muttering to herself, lost in thought. When their eyes meet, he sees how glassy they are – how she’s staring right through him – with a look on her face that makes his stomach drop. Carefully, he cradles her face in his hands and calls to her. She doesn’t respond. He calls to her, cooing and reassuring her, in a desperate hope to bring her back to the present.
Time passes – minutes or hours, he’s really not sure. But eventually she comes back to him, burying herself in his arms and sobbing.
“Luci-” she hiccups “I-I can’t… I don’t… with omnics- I don’t deserve..!” She takes a shuddering breath, “I don’t deserve their kindness!” Lucio’s heart twists painfully in his chest.
“Shh, no no. You deserve all the kindness in the world. I’m sorry, Hana, I didn’t know. I didn’t know…!” Gently lifting her face, he places a tender kiss to her brow, “You are not a bad person, Hana.”
Bonus: Headcanon #2 – from this moment on, whenever D.Va has an episode, he wraps her in his arms along with a blanket and gives her his healing music to listen to.
