Ahh, it's harsh because I do like fluffy ships but fluffy ships with personality! Jokes, character conflict, high amounts of working through past trauma through slow atmospheric tea-brewing scenes... So many fluffy ships are written really blandly, especially fluffy f/f that boils down to "you're cute. no, you're cuter!" but fluff done well can be immensely satisfying.

I think Better Angels of Our Natures is my favorite fluffy Overwatch fic: it's Widow/Emily/Tracer fic where they basically sexily adopt her and help her work through her assassin trauma and there's a long plot-relevant vacation in the French countryside.

Oooh, thank you for reccing this fic. It's very fun and I'm enjoying it as my intro to Overwatch fandom! (I have the Overwatch wiki open in another tab to tell me who the characters are and what they look like.)

Isn't it great? It just straddles the line between cozy and cathartic so perfectly. I think of it as a wish fulfillment fic but I'm never sure if I want to be part of a perfect couple healing a traumatized assassin with sex and good food or to be adopted by a couple with healthy communication strategies who are very invested in my emotional landscape.
