Summary
Venom fills out a Q&A meme post, and drags Widowmaker along into doing it as well.
Demicanon to the on overcoming the fear of spiders universe, just because neither of them would actually fill one of these out, and I'm not sure Q&A memes are even a thing at that point in the Overwatch universe. But the rest counts.

Summary
Lena "Tracer" Oxton has second thoughts about giving up on the Widowmaker, and goes to extreme lengths to ask someone she met once - quite impossibly, but nonetheless met - for advice.
While it involves the on overcoming the fear of spiders Venom and Widowmaker, and the it is not easy to explain, she said Emily "Kestrel" Oxton, it is canon in neither AU, and should make sense without having read either of those. It is canon, however, in the manic pixie murder machine series, which was not yet a series when I wrote this.

Summary
A local MS-13 cell made a very, very big mistake - they stole from a Talon research lab. Lena "Venom" Oxton and Amélie "Widowmaker" Lacroix go to retrieve the stolen goods, leave a message, and decide to bring along a lunatic with explosives just to make the point a little more emphatically. And also because it's fun.
This is the mission mentioned in Chapter 13 of Old Soldiers ("feeding the spiders"), and is canon in the on overcoming the fear of spiders continuity. But all you need to know really is that Lena and Amélie are both with Talon.
