[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12445736/1/Am%C3%A9lie-Lacroix-s-Redemption-Widowmaker-No-More Amélie Lacroix's Redemption - Widowmaker No More]] is a fanfiction by Tropers/StrangeThoughts.
As the title would suggest, the fanfic details what a possible future [[RedemptionQuest redemption arc]] for Amélie Lacroix would be like, after being freed from Talon's clutches and having to deal with the [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone immense guilt]] for the life she lived as Widowmaker. Shedding her previous identity, Amélie joins Overwatch in hopes to avenge her late husband Gérard, as well as the countless other innocent lives she was forced to kill.
!!Tropes in ''Amélie Lacroix's Redemption - Widowmaker No More'':
* AMillionIsAStatistic: Averted. While Gérard's death is the most personal to her, Amélie mourns ''all'' of the lives she took as Widowmaker, not just Gérard. She even laments the fact they had family who loved them as much as she loves Gérard.
* TheAtoner: Amélie vows to bring an end to Talon, and to do as much good as she can to make up for her former life.
* BadDreams: Often, as Amélie's guilt leads to her having nightmares almost every time she falls asleep.
* BerserkButton: It doesn't go well to call Amélie by her old name, "Widowmaker".
* BloodKnight: Partial, but there. Amélie still feels satisfaction in killing her enemies, but those enemies are ''Talon'', rather than the innocent, so she views it as PayEvilUntoEvil.
* DeadPersonConversation: Amélie has a conversation with Gérard in her sleeping gas-induced dream, who tells her that she must forgive herself for what happened.
* {{Deprogramming}}: Aptly named the Deprogrammer, Winston invented this device to revive Amélie the depths of Widowmaker's conscience.
* EmbarrassingTattoo: How Amélie regards her spider-themed tattoos after being freed. She keeps them covered whenever she can, as they bring nothing but shame to her. However, when Mercy offers to have them removed, Amélie says she still keeps them as a personal reminder.
* CooldownHug: Winston tightly hugs Amélie while comforting her during her breakdown.
* HeelFaceTurn: From Talon agent to Overwatch agent, this is Amélie's redemption after being freed from the brainwashing.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Amélie puts herself down ''a lot'' following her awakening, as the guilt is always on her conscience.
* IHaveNoDaughter: Amélie's mother Florence disowns her after learning that she was a murderer for the last seven years, which is painful for her to say the least.
* ImNotAHeroIm: When asked if she's "one of those heroes" by Jaime after saving him from Camp Delta, she responds with this.
-->'''Amélie:''' No. I am not a hero, far from it. I am a person who has done many, many horrible things, and I am hoping to at least quell the guilt within my conscience by doing good things. But don't ever think that I could be called a "hero".
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: The beginning of Amélie's awakening starts with her having a breakdown induced by this. Afterwards, while she collects her composure, the state of guilt is practically her default state.
* NiceGirl: We see that Amélie really is a good person at heart, and that makes it even more tragic that she became such a heartless killer out of no choice of her own.
* NotQuiteBackToNormal: Despite regaining herself following Winston's {{deprogramming}} of her, Amélie still has blue skin as a result of her low blood circulation. It's said she can barely recognize herself while looking in the mirror.
* RedemptionQuest: The story details Amélie's quest for forgiveness and redemption to atone for her life as Widowmaker.
* ReformedButRejected: By some. There are those who don't forgive Amélie for the many atrocities she committed as Widowmaker, such as Pharah, [=McCree=] (initially), and other Overwatch agents. [[HeroicSelfDeprecation She doesn't blame them]].
* WhatHaveIBecome: Amélie asks herself "What kind of monster have I become?", remembering the horrible things she did before and seeing herself transformed into a killer.
