I've been creating fanfiction since I was old enough to write (and draw), and every now and then I return to the medium with another bright idea, which usually fades after the first couple thousand words. Not so this time. I still have plenty of original content to come, Lord willing, but something about the Genji/Mercy relationship really captured my imagination. I'm sure that many fics and fan comics and what not have covered their original meeting and the birth of their relationship, but I really wanted to take a stab of my own at filling in this gap in Overwatch canon. Also, the illustrations, including the cover, provided a really fun way for me to practice using my new alcohol markers, and I had a wonderful time making them. I hope that you enjoy them!

Glory be to God for giving me the strength to see this little story to the end. There were many points where I felt completely stuck, with no idea what to write next, and then, suddenly, a sliver of an idea showed up in my brain and allowed me to press on. I have little doubt that those flashes of inspiration were His doing. Finally, without the constant reassurance of my biggest little brother, and his insistence that he wanted to read the final product, the unfinished first part of this fic would probably still be sitting in a neglected file on my laptop. Thank you so much bro! 

I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it. ^_^
