Summary
Moira O'Deorain has won. With her three Weapons - the Changed and copper-eyed Tracer, the silver-eyed Oilliphéist, and golden-eyed Widowmaker - Mora O'Deorain has seized control of Talon. Akande Ogundmu is dead, his war thwarted. Gabriel Reyes is dead, his ever-shifting games of chess at an end. Sanjay Korpal is dead, his corruption excised - and more.
However, even that is not enough, not if she and her peerless weapons are to remake the world, and humanity along with it. She will need an entire collection of tools, a pantheon so powerful that no one could hope to stop her. But just as no plans survive first contact with the enemy, no one person can truly hold back all the wills of all the gods, so sometimes, plans - and perhaps, even, those who make them - must change.

Summary
Widowmaker brought herself in from the cold, one day, exchanging a list of Talon agents for sanctuary. Why? That is not easy to explain. But it does get explained, and that leads to other questions, which are, in turn, also not easy to explain.
This is a standalone continuity largely canon-compliant with what we knew of canon in Overwatch before July of 2017 (pre Masquerade/Doomfist), which is when the first story was written. It focuses on Widowmaker, from the standpoint specifically of how a built - a created - personality thinks and feels about other people - and in general.
