Boombox
Boombox is the slash ship between Junkrat and Lúcio from the Overwatch fandom.

Canon
When Australia was turned into a wasteland after the omnic wars, the people left alive became "Junkers". They scavenge the land and force a cutthroat society. Junkrat was one of the junkers and worked reclaiming materials from the ruins. The lingering radiation caused him to go mad, making him ideal for handling explosives which he became obsessed with. He found a valuable treasure in the ruins, causing him to come to fame and be pursued by bounty hunters and thieves. He hired a bodyguard, Roadhog, in exchange for half the share from the spoils. The two left the outback and embarked on an international crime spree.

Lúcio Correia dos Santos took up DJing as a hobby when he grew up in Rio. When the Vishkar Corporation took control of Rio, Lúcio stole the sonic technology that his Father had invented for the company and led the citizens against the company. Vishkar was forced out of the city, and Lúcio's music career began to gain popularity around the world.

Game-Play
Junkrat is a Damage hero, while Lúcio is a Support hero. Both Junkrat and Lúcio are two star skill heroes.

Fanon
The two are some of the younger heroes in Overwatch. Fan art normally reflects this and has the two in more fun situations. Goofing around, and occasional joined by D.Va, or Roadhog.

Fan artist will typically draw the two in more casual clothing. This is more common than fan art of their alternate skins, but fan art of their alternate skins are popular as well.

Hanmetra
Hanmetra is the het ship between Hanzo and Symmetra. AKA: Symmanzo, Symmzo, Symmhanzo, Dragonometry

Canon
Hanzo was the heir to the Shimada family. The clan elders became worried about his younger brother's, Genji, carefree ways, and told him that it needed to end. Hanzo and Genji argued, until it escalated and the two fought. Hanzo believed he had been killed in the fight and ran from the Shimada house. He later returned to the household to honor Genji, but was found by an assassin, who turned out to be Genji, alive and a cyborg. Hanzo is left to consider where he is going now.

Satya was taken in by the Vishkar corporation following the omnic crisis, and is able to use hard light to create new inventions. Satya was lonely so she threw herself into her studies to become top of her class. She had a much easier time using the hard light, since she didn't approach it from a mechanical or procedural way, instead through a traditional dance of her homeland. She was sent out by Vishkar to spread the companies influence to other countries.

Fanon
The ship is a rare pair in the Overwatch fandom. Although the two gained some fans after the second Overwatch anniversary, where a voice line between the two was added to the game. This led many fans to realize the similarities between the two, that got explored in fan fiction and fan art.

Ice Bears
Ice Bears is the femslash ship between Mei and Zarya.

Canon
The two have never met. Zarya is not part of Overwatch and Mei was in cryo sleep the past 9 years. Zarya is a former athlete who gave up on her dreams to serve Russia during the Omnic Crisis. Mei was a member of the Overwatch eco-team in Antartica. When her team was low on supplies they put themselves into cryo-sleep. Mei was the only survivor waking a decade later.

Game-Play
Zarya's barrier is typically very helpful to Mei during the game. Mei can't block very well against group, so the bubble can hold off enemies for a couple of seconds. Given that Mei is targeted by many, Zarya would have to keep putting the bubble on her. This helps Zarya charge up her canon faster. It also helps Mei get closer to they enemy team. Zarya's barrier can also help protect Mei once her blockade goes down, as most wait for her to get out of it and make her an easy target.

Their ultimate's also provide the same function. Zarya's gravitation canon will cause players to be pulled in one spot and make it easier for other players to take them out. Mei's is similar, only she freezes members of the other team in one spot, making head shots easier for the other players and Mei.

Fanon
Fans tend to ship the two based on them both being associated with cold climates. Zarya Russia and Mei Antartica. Fans will often depict the two in activities that involve snow.

When South Korea was attacked by colossal omnics, the government created MEKA-drone control networks. The networks were eventually destroyed and MEKA’s now needed pilots. They started to recruit gamers due to their high reflexes and instincts that were needed to operate the MEKA systems. Hana Song, also known as D.Va, was the reigning world champion and was drafted to the MEKA program. D.Va charges into battle with the rest of her team, and streams all her fights online, making her a global icon.

Fanon
The ship has a smaller following. Although fans believe that the two would get along. This is due to them having more similar upbeat personalities. As well as them both having darker parts of themselves, Cassidy being a member of the Deadlock gang, and D.Va having the weight of the world on her shoulders, since she's one of the few people protecting her home.

Most fan art depicts the two in more fun situations. Typically set on Cassidy's home turf of Route 66. Using their different skins in fan art is also popular among its fans. Like all D.Va ships, fans also depict the two playing video games.

They reconditioned her, turning her into an emotionless killer and lowered her heart rate, her skin becoming blue as a result. She took on the name Widowmaker, and became Talon’s most elite assassin.

The two have never been known to interact in canon, although they would have likely been aware of each other, due to Widowmaker's former husband being the Ovewatch liaison and Mercy being Overwatch's head doctor.

Game-play
Mercy has some trouble getting to heal Widowmaker, as Widowmaker is played from a distance and is farther away then close rage heroes.

Fanon
Fan Art of the two is typically depicted as them in their more formal skins. But the halloween skins are also popular. Many enjoy putting Mercy in her Greek skin as a counter for most of Widowmaker's. Some also enjoy the Overwatch/Talon relationship, and will work with that.

Quotes
"Order overcomes chaos."

- Symmetra eliminates Junkrat

Fanon
Fans ship the two based on the "Opposites Attract" trope of most ships. Symmetra's extremly serious nature counters Junkrat's rather over the top and crazy personality. The two would balance each other out. Opposite's also comes into play with Symmetra's firm belief in order, and Junkrat spreading nothing but chaos wherever he goes.

Fics and art of the two, typically focus on the two getting to know each other. Symmetra is typically not a fan of Junkrat in most of it and would not like him very much in canon based on the lore. Junkrat in fan works, is the one trying to get Symmetra to become "more fun" and to socialize. Symmetra will also act as a more calming nature to Junkrat as well.

On AO3 it is the second most written ship for both characters, and the eighteenth most written in the Overwatch tag.

After a long conversation, Tracer leaves and Jack eventually decides to send in a team despite England's orders.

Gameplay
The tutorial for Overwatch features the two. Soldier: 76 is the hero that the character plays, while Tracer is in the first third of the tutorial. She is used to help the player learn the basic movement and perspective controls.

Tacer and Soldier 76, have a similar kit, so in competitive and pro games, they aren't used together very often. Both have the ability to speed up, that has little to no cooling down time. They have standard guns, and the ability to self-heal, although 76 can also heal other teammates.

Game-Play
Mei and Widowmaker can be used in the game, similarly to Hanzo and Mei. Mei can release her ultimate, freezing multiple players. Widowmaker can then easily make multiple head shots. On a smaller scale, when Mei freezes players with her cold gun, Widowmaker can also take them out the same way as the ultimate.
