    Summary

    “If a coin comes down heads, that means that the possibility of its coming down tails has collapsed. Until that moment the two possibilities were equal.
    But on another world, it does come down tails. And when that happens, the two worlds split apart.”
    ― Philip Pullman, The Golden Compass

    In another, kinder world, the end of the Omnic crisis would mean the beginning of a brief period of relative peace. Overwatch and Blackwatch would continue their work in cleaning up the rubble, charging towards a brighter future; together they'd force the scraps of shadow that would become Talon to scrabble slowly into power, only emerging nearly a decade post-crisis.

    Gabriel Reyes would take in a boy hurt beyond reckoning and raise him to semi-healthy adulthood, falling into the dark after a happy decade with his husband and their makeshift family.

    Jesse McCree would have parents, siblings, a purpose he grew to love, and a place among heroes.

    But that's another world.
