収束ゾーンでのライフ: Life in the Convergence Zone

Well. Look what woke up. Hi, writing.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. You may still need more of it. But I do have chapters 8 and 9, at least in rough form.

Of Gods and Monsters: The Arc of Dominion
Edda 25: Across All These Emptied Lines
Chapter 7: The Chateau

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.

Reminded accidentally by Lena, Danielle remembers that Amélie had a chateau, and that she had used it herself for some time as a safehouse.

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.

Of Gods and Monsters: The Arc of Dominion

Chapter 1: Lena and the Knight

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.

Hana, Brigitte, and Lúcio left the park very quickly - so quickly that they forgot something important.

But Sombra didn't forget.

The war is won; spring - a slippery thing - has come at last to Russia. The snows have melted, with only remnants left to clean away. Overwatch has been folded up again, this time made into an intelligence arm for Helix, under new - and the UN hopes better - leadership. Oasis is again at peace, with the Gods free to do largely as they will.

In the midst of all these great actions, of these large shifts of state, a single person can be very small, and difficult to find, no matter how urgently that person may need to be found.

Overwatch - or what is left of it - is at war with the Gods of Oasis. Russia is in a parallel war with itself, Katya Volskaya's government against the popular uprising led by the Aleksandra Zaryanova, the Goddess of Russia. As winter sets in, Zarya's March to Moscow has slowed to a crawl.

Lena figured something out, and she has to ask for a few things.

Athena understood from the beginning, but she has conditions of her own.

It’s time to have some conversations.

Athena knows what Lena did to Jesse, and from her extracts a promise: never again.

In a time that once did happen, there was a crusade of the gods - a campaign of vengeance and of blood, unrelenting, and merciless.

But what if it didn't have to happen?

What if it could all be... undone?

Four goddesses, not just the one, saw Nadia off to Russia.

But with Jesse McCree having upset a precarious balance, Lena, Hana, and Sombra have intervened in Russia's rising civil war. Now, what little stability Overwatch had managed to maintain seems on the verge of disintegration...

...as Lena Oxton needs her mother's help to sort out what had been from what could be, now.

Apparently I just... never posted this here? Holy shit! Well, guess what team - today you get a double update, and on top of that, I HAVE A BUFFER AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT'S REAL, we are back on a schedule, and that schedule is weekly.

Looks like I had a lot of words hung up behind that logjam, because once it broke, a lot of words came tumbling out.

Anyway. Enjoy the first of TWO updates tonight. Second one will follow shortly.

Katya Volskaya's government in Russia has destroyed the omnium Koschei, and held their own against the Gods of Oasis. With no point to additional fighting, the overt war has paused. But covertly, the conflict carries on. The gods, after all, still have a plan, and will do what is needed - one way, or another.

Jesse McCree's plan to assassinate Moira O'Deorain worked. But he did not reckon on the kind of reckoning a literal Goddess of Time could provide.
