Of Gods and Monsters: The Arc of Dominion Edda 25: Across All These Emptied Lines Chapter 6: The Dragon and the God of Music series by solarbird and bzarcher

The war is won. Oasis and the Concordat are at peace. Overwatch has been folded up again, this time made into an intelligence arm for Helix, under new - and the UN hopes better - leadership. The Gods are free - largely - to do as they will.

What is Hanzo doing up on the roof now, anyway?

Katya Volskaya's government in Russia has destroyed the omnium Koschei, and held their own against the Gods of Oasis. With no point to additional fighting, the overt war has paused. But covertly, the conflict carries on. The gods, after all, still have a plan, and will do what is needed - one way, or another.

With relations between Oasis and Russia at their worst, it's been impossible for Ecopoint: China Sea to resume full operations. But Mei-Ling Zhou has her ways of making things happen, and so, she does.

NOTE: There will be two updates this week. The next will appear Wednesday evening. We're not really back on our bullshit, it's just very small. ^_^

Alliances, it has been said, are at their weakest on the brink of defeat, and on the brink of victory. After defeating the China Sea omnium, the gods of Oasis offered their help to Russia, to defeat their own Siberian threat, and Russia accepted that offer - but made additional secret plans of their own.

Hana, Brigitte, and Lúcio aren’t the only ones who can arrange quiet meetings across the lines between Overwatch and Oasis.

As Hanzo Shimada and Mei-Ling Zhou look for reassurance, they have the advantage of anonymity - but will they be able to reach each other?

Mei-Ling Zhou became a goddess to fight for the people under her protection. But now she must decide if fighting is always what would be best.

The new gods have risen, ready, at last, to grapple with a world of heroes. Moira O'Deorain herself has been reborn, now made one of the creations her previous self meant to rule, and she works with her wife - the goddess Mercy - and their ensemble of new deities to remake the world, to improve it... for everyone.

As the Concordat and their allies prepare to move against the Siberian omnium, Mei-Ling Zhou finds that a decision once made - even rashly, even under poor circumstances - is not so easily unmade, particularly when everything suggests it was the right one.

Yeah, it's another novelette. Well, just short of one, but add the fragments coming later into it and it's not a question.
