1There 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.

3''[[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.

9!!This story contains examples of the following tropes:
10
11%%* TheAlcoholic: Mercy, very much not PlayedForLaughs.
12* AxCrazy: Reaper. Oh lordy, Reaper. This story makes canon Reaper look well-balanced. See BloodierAndGorier below.
13* BloodierAndGorier: Reaper's scenes alone far surpass the usual level of violence in Overwatch canon.
14* 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...
15* CallingYourAttacks: [[spoiler:Used to awesome effect in the finale, as voice-activation codes for the cast's Ultimate abilities.]]
16* DefrostingIceQueen: Widowmaker throughout the story as Amélie resurfaces.
17* DepravedBisexual: [[spoiler:Before his transformation happened, Reaper had intimate relationships with both Soldier 76 and Mercy, and he's ''[[AxCrazy abso-freaking-lutely]]'' depraved, so he counts.]]
18* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler:In the end, Gabriel Reyes surfaces from within Reaper as he lies dying, just long enough to say goodbye to his former teammates.]]
19* 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 even more AxCrazy than in canon...
20* EverybodyHasLotsOfSex: Boy howdy. Mercy and Pharah are having sex. Mei and Zarya are having sex. Genji and Zenyatta are having sex. Soldier 76 and [=McCree=] are having sex, and [[spoiler:76 and Gabriel Reyes (and Reyes and Mercy) ''used'' to have sex before Reyes went off the deep end.]] [[spoiler:Tracer and Emily have sex. Tracer and Widowmaker eventually have sex, and then them having sex takes up most of Chapter 62, which is called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "Sex"]]...]]
21* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: [[spoiler: Chapter 62: Sex.]]
22* MirrorMatch: [[spoiler:D.Va in her MEKA versus Evil Talon MEKA in the finale. D.Va wins via the creative application of DeathFromAbove.]]
23* OnlyMostlyDead: [[spoiler:Tracer, in the penultimate chapter, who gets shot by Widowmaker after Reaper uses a TriggerPhrase to make her personality resurface.]]
24* PreClimaxClimax: [[spoiler:Again, Chapter 62.]]
25* PreserveYourGays: [[spoiler:The Bury Your Gays trope is [[AvertedTrope Averted]] and [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Tracer when Mercy revives her: "Holy shit, I'm an immortal lesbian!"]]
26* RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Emily, Tracer's ex-girlfriend[[note]]The fic was started and planned out long before Emily's existence was revealed[[/note]], is one of Torbjorn's daughters in this story... an illegitimate one, at that.]]
27* SanitySlippage: Reaper gets worse than canon. Way, way worse. [[spoiler:By the finale, Mercy's losing it too.]]
28* 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]]. She also has a bad case of SurvivorsGuilt from a mission in Korea where she had to sacrifice her team to complete the mission objective.
29* TheseHandsHaveKilled: [[spoiler:D.Va gets hit with this ''hard''.]]
30* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:One of the many things that make Reaper terrifying in this story. After killing a former Talon agent and his wife, he indoctrinates both of their children into Talon as essentially his slaves.]]
