Overwatch/Fanfic Recs

Proof that the remaining 10% is worth dying for.

These are recommendations made by Tropers for  Fan Fics, all of which have been signed. After a few samples, you will be able to judge whether you might be interested in a certain 'fic, based on who recommended it.

Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found below. Make sure you sign your recommendation! No-name recommendations may be deleted at other tropers' leisure. Do warn when a fanfic includes sexual situations. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business. Likewise, warn if it may head into non-canon territory.

Discussion of the recommendation is welcome on the discussion page. As such discussion is important, do remember to add the discussion page to the watchlist, if need be.

Recommendations Template
Title of the Fanfic by Author OR Fic Trope Page, by Author (Link)
 * Recommended by: Troper Name
 * Synopsis: What's the story about? Give here a brief summary of the plot. It would be also useful to point out in what moment of the series the story takes place. If it's a Gen Fic but it has some romantic elements, note here the characters involved too.
 * Pairing(s): If it's a Shipping Fic, list here the pairings that feature in the fic (warn here if it's het, male slash or female slash). If it's a Gen Fic, remove this line. To tell the difference between the two, notice if the focus of the fic is on a romantic relationship or if it focuses on the other aspects of the story. In case of doubt, classify the story according to the genres it's been tagged: the Romance tag for Shipping, absence of that tag for Gen Fic.
 * Tags: If any are known. This would be things like WAFF, Lemon, Dark Fic, any Trigger Warnings, etc. This is also where you would put character names with Characterization Tags if doing so would be equally indicative.  ("uber!Harry" for Harry Potter, for instance.)
 * Comments: If you want to say something more about why you're recommending the fic, but please, keep it brief. We don't want Conversation in the Main Page.

Crossover Fics
Deus Ex: the Watch is Over by DigitalStoryteller (Link)
 * Recommended by: msq
 * Synopsis: After a clash with Overwatch members during a mission for Task Force 29, Adam Jensen has a new assignment. He is to investigate the reinstated organisation under the guise of being a fresh recruit. But nothing is as it seems, not even at Overwatch. Can Adam find the truth in time, before the Illuminati find and destroy him for good?
 * Crossover: With Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
 * Tags: Alternate Universe
 * Comments: Despite the clashing tones of the two universes, the story and its respective elements manages to blend rather well. Despite being relatively early on, the clashing personalities between the (justifiably) jaded and suspicious Jensen on the one hand, and the friendly, bubbly Trace on the other is interesting to see play out.

Mercenaries and Heroes by ShaliKyuu
 * Recommended by: msq
 * Synopsis: Miss Pauling sends the team into the future as a last resort to find the last australium. But no one would suspect how far they would go. Meanwhile, a hundred years into the future, Overwatch is being assembled once again. Will Overwatch stand in the way of the mercenaries mission, or will an alliance be formed?
 * Crossover: With Team Fortress 2
 * Comments: While a crossover between Overwatch and Team Fortress 2 is all but expected, this story is pretty well-written and polished. It helps as well how the similarities and differences of both the titular "mercenaries and heroes" are highlighted.
