Note: This story takes place in an altered reality of the Overwatch universe. Blizzard owns the characters related to Overwatch, but I own the main protagonist. This story revolves around the timing of the omnic crisis/ Null sector collaboration, but will steer off heavily. The science for certain events planned in the future is made up as I'm not actually science smart lol. The timeline will be to the best of my ability with what we have, with some adjustments to fit the storyline. Regardless, I hope you enjoy the journey. General Summery: For a long time, Marie only remembered being made to entertain humans with particular tastes. Every night was the same routine, until suddenly every omnic had orders to destroy the humans. Except, Marie has no memories from then. Only gaining a memory of meeting him, Ramattra. It was him who saved her, that's all she remembers, and that's all he would let her remember before vanishing as quickly as he had appeared. Now a free puppet with no strings to bind her, Marie sets off to figure out what it is SHE desires.

Quinn Taylor has made a career out of looking calm. On the ice, she's America's favorite kind of pressure-proof-bright smile, steady answers, the skater everyone wants to root for. Off the ice, she's an only child with a perfectionist's brain and a habit of carrying too much alone. The cameras love her. The country expects her. And the one place she can't afford to fall apart is the one place she's dreamed of since she was little. The Olympics. Macklin Celebrini has always made things feel lighter. He was the new kid at a Northern California rink at twelve-Canadian, polite, a little lost-until Quinn decided he was hers to keep. He became her best friend in the cold air and early mornings, the person who could make her laugh mid-breakdown and never ask her to perform for him. Then life did what life does: seasons changed, schedules got brutal, distance widened, and the kind of friendship that felt unbreakable turned into occasional texts and quiet missing. Now they're both back where the world is loudest. At the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, Quinn is chasing the skate of her life for Team USA. Mack is carrying his own weight for Team Canada hockey. When reporters find out they grew up together, the story writes itself-childhood friends reunited, smiles caught on camera, a thousand strangers deciding what they are to each other. The only problem is... the strangers aren't entirely wrong. Between past chapters at a small California rink and present days in the Olympic Village, Quinn and Mack have to figure out what they really meant to each other then-and what they're allowed to be now, with medals on the line and the whole world watching. Because it's one thing to love someone quietly from a distance. It's another to have them show up in your life again and make everything feel possible.
