What are the most popular Overwatch ships?

Currently, the Archive of Our Own (AO3) hosts approximately 42,562 fan creations centered around the Overwatch universe. This site serves as a digital archive for fanfiction, fanart, and more. To put it simply, fanfiction are tales written by enthusiasts who adore a specific series or franchise, built upon pre-existing works. Essentially, envision a vast online library dedicated to stories featuring your favorite Overwatch 2 heroes!

#10 Moicy (Mercy/Moira)

1,027 pieces of work explore the intriguing characters of Overwatch 2’s brilliant medic and geneticist. Their dialogue and gameplay interactions hint at potential disagreements in their approaches. Yet, who wouldn’t enjoy a romantic tension storyline between adversaries or rivals, often referred to as enemies-to-lovers or rivals-to-lovers dynamic?

#9 Gency (Genji/Mercy)

In the ninth position, we find the captivating love tale between Genji and Mercy. Often referred to as “Gency,” this epic narrative of 1,046 tales revolves around a cyborg ninja who departed from the Shimada family and a medic with a scientific genius. These characters were once pen pals, and Mercy was the one who healed Genji’s wounds following his brutal confrontation with Hanzo. Whenever Genji requires healing, Mercy is always by his side like a handy pocket-sized helper!

#8 Reysidy and Reapsidy (Gabriel/Cole and Reaper/Cole)

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m lucky to find myself connected with either Cole Cassidy or Gabriel Reyes – or even both – depending on the fan-made storylines. The intricacies of their relationship can be a bit confusing for those new to the lore, but it’s all part of the fun! In the vast archive of stories on AO3, there are no less than 1,262 works dedicated to this pairing.

Before he took on the Reaper mantle, Gabriel and I served together in the Blackwatch division of Overwatch. It was during a daring undercover operation that Gabriel recognized my skills as a marksman and decided to bring me into Blackwatch.

#7 Genyatta (Genji/Zenyatta)

Following that, we have Genji and Zenyatta, each with an impressive collection of 1,313 stories penned about them. After Hanzo bested Genji in their previous conflict, Genji was saved by Overwatch and had to adjust to his cybernetic body. Struggling to find meaning post-Overwatch’s demise, Genji found himself at a loss. It was Zenyatta who ultimately guided him towards inner tranquility.

#6 Widowtracer (Widowmaker/Tracer)

In the rankings, Overwatch 2 places sixth, nestled between Widowmaker and Tracer at approximately 1,380 fanfiction stories. Do you remember the initial Overwatch trailer from nearly a decade ago? It makes one feel rather old. Yet, more significantly, Widowmaker and Tracer were prominently featured in that trailer, and their pairing is still one of the earliest and most cherished by the fandom!

#5 Spuriken (Cole/Genji)

In this collection on AO3, you’ll find 1,425 pieces centered around the dynamic duo from Overwatch 2: the dashing cowboy and the agile ninja! While Cole and Genji initially joined Blackwatch for separate motives, they collaborated effectively to accomplish missions. Their camaraderie extends beyond their professional lives as they even share a line that hints at fond memories of times past.

#4 Roadrat (Roadhog/Junkrat)

Ready to dive into some thrilling Junkertown adventures with a whopping 1,566 tales? When old Junkrat needed a trustworthy companion for his treasure hunt, none other than Roadhog stepped up. At first, the agreement was that Roadhog would receive a tenth of the treasure, but it soon escalated to a quarter. Then, boom! It jumped straight to half! Maybe uncovering each other was the true gold we’d been searching for all along.

#3 Pharmercy (Pharah/Mercy)

Often referred to by gamers as “Pharmercy,” this duo between Pharah and Mercy boasts an impressive 2,770 fan stories on AO3! Both characters were part of the Overwatch team too, soaring through the skies due to their flying abilities. Their shared voice lines in the game also emphasize this bond.

#2 Reaper76 (Reaper/Soldier: 76 and Gabriel/Jack)

5,888 tales of Reaper76 pairing are found on Archive of Our Own (AO3)! Before the Omnic Crisis, Gabriel and Jack crossed paths; later, both joined Overwatch. However, they began to disagree over methods during missions, which eventually led to their apparent demise. But in a twist of fate, they returned as Reaper and Soldier: 76.

#1 YeeHan (Cole/Hanzo)

1st place goes to the duo known as Cole and Hanzo, often referred to as “YeeHan” and distinctly not “Hole.” This dynamic duo showcases exceptional marksmanship and a character seeking redemption. They’ve garnered an impressive following with 7,503 stories dedicated to their adventures on AO3.
