Summary
The war is won. Oasis and the Concordat are at peace. Overwatch has been folded up again, this time made into an intelligence arm for Helix, under new - and the UN hopes better - leadership. The Gods are free - largely - to do as they will.
After so much time spent on opposite sides of an unwanted war, some of the opponents will find each other again afterwards, in a time of peace, but this time either as victors, or as the defeated.
These are some of those stories.

Of Gods and Monsters: The Arc of Dominion is a continuance of The Arc of Conflict, The Arc of Ascension, The Arc of Creation, and In the Beginning, There Was an Armourer and a Living Weapon. To follow the story as it appears, please subscribe to the series.

Summary
A Federation has arrived to negotiate Ferenginar's possible entry into the United Federation of Planets, and on a network which may as well be The History (Of Ferenginar) Channel, one of their better-known author-historians discusses the history of the Hew-Mons, and why he thinks joining that Federation is, in fact, a very good idea.
All while promoting his new book and Slug-O-Cola, naturally.

Summary
One little change can trigger more consequences than you can ever imagine. When you look at things from another point of view, it's not so hard to turn a hero to a villain.

Summary
Moira O'Deorain has won. With her three Weapons - the Changed and copper-eyed Tracer, the silver-eyed Oilliphéist, and golden-eyed Widowmaker - Mora O'Deorain has seized control of Talon. Akande Ogundmu is dead, his war thwarted. Gabriel Reyes is dead, his ever-shifting games of chess at an end. Sanjay Korpal is dead, his corruption excised - and more.
However, even that is not enough, not if she and her peerless weapons are to remake the world, and humanity along with it. She will need an entire collection of tools, a pantheon so powerful that no one could hope to stop her. But just as no plans survive first contact with the enemy, no one person can truly hold back all the wills of all the gods, so sometimes, plans - and perhaps, even, those who make them - must change.

Summary
Widowmaker brought herself in from the cold, one day, exchanging a list of Talon agents for sanctuary. Why? That is not easy to explain. But it does get explained, and that leads to other questions, which are, in turn, also not easy to explain.
This is a standalone continuity largely canon-compliant with what we knew of canon in Overwatch before July of 2017 (pre Masquerade/Doomfist), which is when the first story was written. It focuses on Widowmaker, from the standpoint specifically of how a built - a created - personality thinks and feels about other people - and in general.

Summary
She is sick of being weak. She is sick of wanting more, of wanting what she can never bring back. And mostly, she is sick of being alone.
When they offer her a way out, and maybe even a chance to rebuild, only a naive girl would refuse.
She is sick of being naive.
An Illari character study more than anything, with messy unrequited(?) feelings.
