"'You Sure You Have It in You?" Zarya x Fem!Reader

"...You are Katya Volskaya's brand new assistant at Volskaya Industries, and today is your first day on the job...or so, that's what acclaimed Sargent Aleksandra Zaryanova of the Russian defense force thinks. As in accordance with the plan, you and the Sargent set out on a mission to Paris to locate a supposed conman with whom you are to enquire about business. As for what is NOT in the plan...that applies to everything else. Nor you or Zarya could possibly predict how this mission will unfold. But, you knew that...right? What you couldn't have known though, was of giant robots, new friends, and experiencing the life of a-make-shift trooper, and why it all equates to your blossoming relationship with Sargent Zarya..."

IMPORTANT INFO****
1/3 | This is an ADULT fanfiction. ****SPOILER WARNING: Sexual themes include masturbation, consensual non-con, and vagina stuff.

2/3 | This fanfiction is meant to take place following the events of Blizzard's comic "SEARCHING", and so the tone of Zarya's character from the start of this story is that she is feeling betrayed after she finds out the truth behind Volskaya's secrecy. I interpret that she is extra vulnerable at this time because she feels that the world she thought she knew is crumbling around her. For this, I paint her as more ridged and closed off than usual. Zarya is a character who is used to performing in a crisis, so I keep that in mind too, but I imagine the news being a rather big deal to Zarya.

3/3 | In this story, I feature time lapses from Zarya's past, such as the prologue. It is all lore I've built for her based off what Blizzard has already confirmed is canon. I really tried my best to make sure everything in this story stays true to canon! (If I fucked up, mb!) I tried to create an extended backstory for Zarya that gives more reason as to why she is the way she is, and I hope it will create more connection for you with the character! (At least until Overwatch 2 *cough* *cough*)
