''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/7443724/chapters/16911730 London Calling]]'' by [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/SectoBoss/pseuds/SectoBoss Sectoboss]]
* ''Recommended by:'' rockgecko
* ''Pairings:'' Tracer/Widowmaker
* ''Status:'' Complete
* ''Synopsis:'' Recaptured by Overwatch, Widowmaker is sent on a mission to assassinate a high-ranking Talon agent in London. It should be an easy mission – get in, take the shot, and leave. But when Tracer’s your getaway pilot a lot of things can go wrong, and things like 'subtlety' and 'discretion' tend to be the first casualties. Now, lying low after the mission goes awry, the pair of them have to survive in the city until Overwatch can get them home.
* ''Comments:'' A top-notch potential future for Tracer and Widowmaker, showing what could yet come to pass. Intensely well written, great combat scenes, anxious cliffhangers, and more than a bit of introspection into both of the main characters, with a good dash of humor to make things not completely grimdark. Well worth reading!

Added DiffLines:

* ''Synopsis'': How the heroic organization Overwatch acquires the talents of one Hanzo Shimada, and how gunslinger Jesse Mccree will probably suffer because of it for the rest of his days.
* ''Comments'': Most people go into this fic neutral or outright dismissive of its central pairing, and by the end, most of their opinions have completely 180'd. It's a beautifully written, novella-length story that really makes you consider different dynamics between the Overwatch heroes that tend to go un-thought-about, balancing slice-of-life, sunny moments among the team with tense, fast-paced action.
