Widowtracer

Widowtracer is the femslash ship between Widowmaker and Tracer from the Overwatch fandom.

Alive
In the King's Row neighborhood of London, Widowmaker is sent on a mission from the terrorist organization Talon to assassinate Tekhartha Mondatta - the spiritual leader of an Omnic religious organization called the Shambali - who was giving a speech that night. As she is getting into position for the assassination, Tracer - who had personally met with Mondatta earlier - was watching the speech from within the crowd. When Tracer glances over to see Mondatta's lead security guard looking to the nearby rooftops, she suddenly gets a bad feeling (something that was usually right) and leaves to investigate, only to find Widowmaker hanging from her grappling line ready to shoot Mondatta in the head. Not wasting time, Tracer quickly tries to ambush Widowmaker, but the Talon assassin's Recon Visor detects Tracer's movement, allowing her to return fire against the former Overwatch agent before swinging into a nearby building. After Tracer cheekily asks if Widowmaker is "crashing the party", she begins pursuing her into, and eventually up, the building.

Arriving at the roof, Tracer gets pinned down by Widowmaker's gunfire. While waiting for the gunfire to die down, Tracer informs Mondatta's security about the assassination attempt, prompting the leader to be ushered away. Widowmaker takes the accidental opportunity to make a break for it to get another shot at Mondatta, while Tracer begins pursing her across the rooftops. On one particular rooftop, Widowmaker plants one of her Venom Mines as a trap, which Tracer runs right into and causes her to fall to the ground. As Widowmaker is about to execute Tracer right there, Tracer activates the Rewind function of her Chronal Accelerator to reset her position to just before she tripped the mine. Knowing the mine is there, Tracer blinks to the side and distracts Widowmaker by firing at a nearby pipe, opening her up to one of Tracer's Pulse Bombs. Unfortunately, Widowmaker recovers quickly enough to fire at the bomb, causing an explosion that blows herself and Tracer off the roof. As the two are falling, Widowmaker lines up a sniper shot into Tracer's Chronal Accelerator - the only thing keeping her tied to the present - and fires. Tracer is able to blink away and save herself, but unknowingly lets the bullet hit Mondatta - who was getting into a limo a far distancer behind her - in the head and kill him. Upon realizing what just happened, Tracer goes into a rage and angrily asks why Widowmaker did it, only for a Talon airship to arrive. With a goodbye, Widowmaker pushes herself and Tracer off the roof and slam the former Overwatch agent into a wall, winding her and damaging her Accelerator before making her escape in the airship.

Day at the Museum
Widowmaker is sent by Talon - alongside ex-Overwatch member Gabriel Reyes (Codename Reaper) - to retrieve the gauntlet of Talon's leader - Akande "Doomfist" Ogundimu - from an Overwatch museum. Before they make it to the museum, they are intercepted by Tracer and her friend Winston. The resulting fight ends up causing Winstom and Widowmaker to crash right into the museum as the latter pulls back and begins firing at the former as he's protecting a pair of kids that were there. As Reaper arrives to fight Winston, Widowmaker locates the gauntlet, but is interrupted when Tracer blinks right next to her. This prompts Widowmaker to jump off her perch and begin a firefight between with Tracer that Reaper and Winston quickly intervene in.

Tracer eventually gets forced into cover when Reaper's Death Blossom hits her Accelerator - next to the same two kids Winston was protecting earlier - and is forced to witness the gorilla get knocked down while Widowmaker makes her way to the gauntlet. However, Reaper triggering Winston's rage causes Widowmaker to turn away from the gauntlet and fire at him and gives Tracer the time for her Accelerator to reboot, allowing her to rejoin the fight. As Widowmaker turns back to the gauntlet, she finds it missing only for her to get punched by it and sent flying. By the time Widowmaker recovers, Tracer arrives and takes her rifle before using it against her, forcing Widowmaker and Reaper to retreat, with Tracer and Winston in pursuit.

Fanon
Shippers began to ship them after their first interaction, which was in the first Cinematic trailer. It's also used by fans that Tracer's girlfriend Emily has a similar name to Widowmaker's name (Amelie). Fans also like to think that before Widowmaker got brainwashed by Talon she helped Lena when she was a new recruit.

On AO3, Widowtracer is the most written ship for both Widowmaker and Tracer. It is also the fifth most written ship in the Overwatch tag.
