An AU where it’s the 1920s and McCree is a detective and Sombra is a undercover spy that sings at club that belongs to notorious mafia vamg Talon. Reaper was his partner but after a bust he got shot up and died and someone how his mysteriously disappeared but is later on revealed it was just a set up so he could join talon. It’s something I’ve been thinking about but I’m not a wrote at all a d wanted to see what you thought of it 🙂

The 1920s AUs are some of my favorites, but I’ve always lacked the creativity, knowledge, and sophistication I think it takes to write one effectively. I just love the language they used back then and the whole aesthetic of the 1920s is to die for. 💖 McCree and Sombra would both look so incredibly beautiful in the fashion from that era, that’s for sure. <333 

And your idea sounds really fun, I like the idea of Sombra being that undercover spy and McCree and Reyes have always given me that ‘partners’ vibe, even though Jesse ultimately ends up being betrayed in one form or another. She might end up being the one to go to McCree and let him know what really happened to his partner. 

The two have a rocky relationship at first since he refuses to believe her (no one knew him like he did) but when he realizes the evidence is there and she was telling him the truth, how can he refute it? He knows it’s silly to trust someone again after being betrayed but he grows to really depend on Sombra, even if she does scare him with how close she willingly gets to Talon on a daily basis. 

Love your idea! But I totally feel you on feeling like you can’t write something out despite really loving an idea. That’s how I am with like 100 AUs running rampant through my head. Keep building on your AU, I’d love to hear more details from you in the future! ❤️️
