The masterpost delayed
This is now over a month late, but it seems the masterpost we made didn’t actually get posted. I’m sorry we didn’t realize it never went through.
We’ll be reposting it during this weekend. Our apologies for the delay!

Summary: Jesse McCree was caught trying to steal back some Overwatch technology. No one is able to save him, not when the world still views Overwatch as a failed experiment. Jesse is now on borrowed time, captured by a gang that wants nothing more than to make an example of the cowboy, except... Except for the Yakuza who showed up at their door, demanding they keep him alive.

Summary:
Jesse is a small-town farmer enjoying some peace-and-quiet after years spent working with Blackwatch.
Hanzo is on the run and doing everything he can to stay one step ahead of the Shimada assassins on his tail.
Add a farmer’s market meet-cute, a case of mutual mistaken identities, and a whole lot of emotional baggage into the mix, and boom: you’ve got a recipe for an unconventional romance. But the question remains: can the spark between them survive the combined weight of their pasts?

Summary:
History repeats itself, but the cycle can be broken if one recognizes the signs.What is supposed to be a simple retrieval mission ends up being a race against time when the Deadlock Gang attempts to steal the same package Hanzo, Genji, and Jesse are after. But there is more at play than they first realize, and plans are in motion that they do not fully understand. Even if they succeed in their goal, it might not make a difference in the face of what is to come…

Summary: Jesse watches that ever present scowl freeze over, his heart doing that uncomfortable twist yet again, and he realizes—
This is a problem.
What started as a fun romp- a few too many drinks and heavy hands-
Turned into- into-
He didn't know anymore.
Under a glittering sea of stars, drunk on amber moonshine and burnt sugar heavy on his tongue-
Feeling Hanzo's weight; heavy in his arms, spiky ponytail tickling against his chin...
He knows.

Rating: Mature Tags: Past Brainwashing, Talon Hanzo Shimada (ish), Time Skips, Establishe Relationship, Bittersweet Ending, Ambiguou/ Open Ending, Heavy Angst, Emotion Focused Side Characters: Genji Word Count: 5.8k~
Summary: It was… bad luck, as far as anyone could tell. A simple matter of bad timing. Horrible timing. But now Hanzo is broken, hollow, and Jesse is left trying to piece together the man he loves. But when it comes to Blackwatch, nothing is ever as simple as it seems, and dire situations may turn for the worse.
We’re a couple of days late with announcing this, but posting has ended!
The queue with all the entries will be running until May 19 (resuming tomorrow), and then we will post a master list of all entries on May 22.
We want to thank everyone who participated and made it to the end of the event with us. It’s been a rough year and it’s not getting better, so we hope doing a challenge with us at least helped with the motivation to create.
There will be some announcements after we close off the event to open a path to new challenges and events we hope more of you will join us for (and we’ll make sure to do stuff with various small and big requirements, so more people can join).
Once again, thank you everyone, and please enjoy all the posted works, share the links, and don’t forget to comment!

Warnings: None apply
Side characters and pairings: Genji and Moira
Summary: Jesse McCree and Shimada Hanzo find themselves trapped in a shady hospital with no memory of arriving. Jesse feels fine, while Hanzo struggles with controlling his dragons, which torment him every night. The doctor claims that it’s a facility for criminals with serious medical problems, and that their amnesia is because of their illness. But would Overwatch really abandon Jesse so easily? And how can it be that the entire might of the Shimada Clan wouldn’t band together to liberate their future leader? Something is definitely wrong, but is it what the red-haired Irish doctor claims?
