There is a schism growing between the murderous sniper known as Widowmaker and Amélie Lacroix, the dancer and loving wife that she used to be before Talon abducted and brainwashed her. Lena "Tracer" Oxton sees that schism, even when no one else can. Clinging desperately to the hope that Amélie might still be saved, Tracer sets out on a dangerous mission to bring back her friend and true love.

''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/7169057 Break My Heart, Break Your Heart]]'' is an ''[[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Overwatch]]'' fanfic by thesilvergoddess, hosted on [[Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn AO3]] and [[Website/FanFictionDotNet Fanfiction.net]]. While the core of the fic is the relationship between Tracer and Widowmaker, it expands into an epic story involving almost every major Overwatch character.

!!This story contains examples of the following tropes:

* TheAlcoholic: Mercy, very much not PlayedForLaughs.
* AxCrazy: Reaper. Oh lordy, Reaper. This story makes canon Reaper look well-balanced. See BloodierAndGorier below.
* BadassGay: Nobody in the cast is straight, and ''all'' of them are badasses.
* BloodierAndGorier: Reaper's scenes alone far surpass the usual level of violence in Overwatch canon.
* BodyHorror: What was done to Amélie to turn her into Widowmaker was ''not'' pleasant, up to and including an implant in her brain that was rigged to kill her if it was ever damaged. [[spoiler:It takes Mercy performing complex brain surgery to restore Amélie to semi-normal.]] There's also the descriptions of what Reaper's degeneration feels like...
* DysfunctionJunction: Where to begin? There's Tracer, nearly getting herself killed multiple times trying to bring Amélie back when even ''Amélie'' isn't sure that's a good idea. There's Widowmaker[=/=]Amélie herself, with both sides of her psyche battling for dominance. There's Mercy, wracked with guilt to the point of [[TheAlcoholic alcoholism]] over her role in Gabriel Reyes's transformation into Reaper. There's D.Va, suffering through the consequences of being a ChildSoldier. There's Reaper, who has gone [[UpToEleven even more]] AxCrazy than in canon...
* ShellShockedVeteran: D.Va begins showing signs of severe PTSD after returning from a mission in Brazil [[spoiler:in which she had to kill human combatants for the first time]].
