Ana76 is the het ship between Ana and Soldier: 76 from the Overwatch fandom.
Canon
Post-Crisis
During the Omni Crisis Ana and Jack both joined Overwatch, where they met. She eventurally became his second in command.
Uprising
Alongside Morrison and Reyes, Ana listened to Jesse McCree, who was on the ground in King's Row, observing Null Sector's actions. To Ana's frustration, the prime minister still refused to allow Overwatch to intervene. In conversation with Morrison, Ana admitted wanting to do something, but while Morrison shared that desire, Overwatch had come under unfavorable scrutiny recently, and they could ill afford another public relations nightmare.
Morrison eventually relented, and sent agents Mercy, Tracer, Reinhardt, and Torbjörn to end the crisis. Ana gave status updates to the four agents.
Final Mission
Ana's last mission was an anti-Talon operation conducted by Overwatch, part of a force led by Jack Morrison which rescued a number of scientists that Talon had taken hostage. While Overwatch was successful in this regard, the Talon operative known as Widowmaker was able to take out a number of agents. The operation led to a sniper duel between her and Ana. Ana recognized her as Amelie Gerard and became distracted, and was shot. Everyone believed her to be dead, but she was in fact alive and taking out Talon in secret.
Bounty Hunter
Disguised as a masked bounty hunter, Ana sabotaged several Talon operations in Egypt, drawing attention from Reaper and his associate Hakim, as well as Jack Morrison. The conflict came to a head when Ana and Morrison were lured into a trap at Hakim's compound in Giza, leading to a battle between the three former comrades. Though Ana sided with Jack and forced Reaper to retreat after unmasking him, she was disturbed by his visage and parting words, reminding her that Overwatch had been responsible for their suffering. Following the encounter Ana explained that she cared about Jack, not the war he was fighting, and resolved to watch over him as the two departed.
Reflections
After reuniting in Egypt, Ana and Jack spent Christmas together.
Fanon
Those that ship it are happy to draw upon their shared history. They seem to have a strong connection that lends itself to shipping and makes it easy for shippers to draw upon. Although this leaves less open interpretation in fanfiction. Fans also enjoy their old friends dynamic, as well as co-commander dynamic.
