    Summary

    When Ada finally looks at him, she can’t stop the plea that falls from her lips. “Stay.”

    "That's usually my line," he says. "You're not being fair, Ada."

    “I know you,” she replies. “I know what you want.”

    “Oh yeah?” he edges even closer to her, a challenging look in his eyes. “And what is that?”

    She meets his gaze unflinchingly. “The same thing I do.”

    (Or: A seemingly typical one-night stand in Europe turns into something much more permanent. Leon, Ada, and the art of building a life backwards.)

    Summary

    Jesse McCree is war-torn, living his second life, and just trying to do his best.

    Jesse McCree is a lie that's been told so many times that no one can find the grave of who he used to be.

    Jesse McCree is someone. Tired, anxious, and frustrated.

    Joel Morricone Junior is dirt.

    Joel Morricone Junior is nothing.

    Or:

    Jesse's past is a mystery shrouded in sand and dirt and he'd like it to stay there, but the desert calls him home. The only problem is that Hanzo and Gabe follow him there. On the way, they dig up the boy who hungered for freedom so much that he sold his soul to the desert.

    (Could standalone if you want to read McCree backstory and power lore, but should read If I Could Start Again first)
