Cassidy: Sir, I won't tell a soul
*Later*
Cassidy: Mina, Mina, Mina- I need to tell you a secret!

Think of the unpopular ship: x
Draw the unpopular ship: x
Post the unpopular ship: x
Start anew:
A little Liassidy hc I have is that Cole and Mina's relationship was fairly secret. The only person knowing being Jack because he was close with Liao and I think she would have had a harder time hiding her relationship with Cole then Cole did.
So here's a little story post with that in mind, along with some OG Blackwatch.
-----------
*Angela, Cassidy, Amelie and Gerard are hanging out in an Overwatch base common area. Amelie and Gerard did a couple thing, Angela and Cole made fun of them, Amelie finds it amusing, Gerard is done with their shit*
Gerard: When are either of you going to stop making my life a living hell?
Angela, smugly: Never.
Amelie: Gerard you need to calm down, we can make fun of them when they start dating.
Gerard: HA, like anyone would want to fate either of them, they'd need to be delusional!
Cassidy: I don't know, there seems to be something between Angela and Genji recently.
Angela: *lightly smacks his shoulder* Like you would know if something was happening between me and Genji. You haven't dated anyone since Deadlock.
Cassidy: Hehe, that's what you think.
*Angela and Gerard go quiet as Amelie leans back, ready to watch this mess unfold.*
Angela: Cole what do you mean by that?
Cassidy: I meant what I said.
Gerard: No no, have you dated someone without us knowing? Are you dating someone now?! Who?! What do you mean by "that's what you think"?!
Cassidy: I mean that's what you think.
Gerard: oh my god- Reyes, Amari!
Ana and Gabe: *just walking into the room* hum?
Gerard: Who is Cole dating.
Ana: Cole's dating someone?
Reyes: *shocked* What do you mean Cole's dating someone?!
Amelie: They don't know if Cole's dating someone, they're trying to figure it out.
Cole: Welp I gotta get some training in, talk to y'all later.
Angela: What- NO! You don't get to run away from this! Answer our questions!!
Cole: *calling behind him as he's exciting the room* Sorry in another room! Can't hear you!
--Years Later--
*Angela is recounting the story to Fareeha and Genji in the dining area while Cassidy is helping cook dinner.*
Angela: And we never did figure out who Cassidy was dating back then.
Genji: I wish I could say I knew but I never asked him about that stuff back then.
Fareeha: Same here.
Genji: Also be fair I doubt either of us would have wanted to hear about his romance escapades back then either.
Fareeha: Speak for yourself, I loved hearing the shit Cole and Ashe got up.
Jack: *walking into the room and seeing the three of them trying to figure something out* What are you three talking about.
Fareeha: We're trying to figure out who Cole was dating back in Blackwatch.
Jack: ...When was this?
Angela: After I stopped working with them.
Jack: Oh, he was dating Mina.
Genji, Fareeha and Angela: *stunned silence*
Genji and Fareeha: WHAT?!
Angela: Cole you were dating Dr. Liao?!
Cole: *yelling from the kitchen* Morrison you bitch!
Words cannot describe how much I love this being canon. Cause whether or not you ship Liassidy, you cannot deny that there is a lot of trust between Cassidy and Mina. Cassidy keeping Mina's goals with Echo a secret from Reyes, speaks volumes, not only due to the context of Moira being recently hired, most likely damaging the trust Cassidy had in Reyes, but also because Cassidy would know who Mina Liao is, know her hand in the Crisis, something he was heavily effected by.
For him to know all that and not only understand what Mina is doing with Echo, not only is he keeping it a secret, but to also help Echo. It speaks volumes on his character.
And for Mina, she was very obviously deeply affected by Aroura's death, she likens it to loosing a child. It's something she was still struggling with while making Echo. Yet Cassidy was able to make her laugh, was able to make her see the things she missed with Echo's creation, he helped give her hope again.
They really helped each other so much and I wish we had more of a perspective on Cassidy's thoughts on his time with Liao. He obviously the only person alive who knows Echo's full potential, knows how Mina felt about everything, I wish we got to see that more. Both in canon and in the fandom.

Evolution of Cassidy's relationships
Pre-Deadlock, Julian: I would go to jail for you (he did, if fact, go to jail for him)
Deadlock, Ashe: idk if I'm making you worse or if your making me worse but either way we're having fun-
Blackwatch, Genji: I can fix him!
Bodyguard/Post-Blackwatch, Mina Liao: Welp I'm probably going to get fired and I guess I'm a dad now!
Recall, Baptiste (and possibly Lifeweaver): Ok let's get the charm on- wait- shit he's matching my energy-
Since reading Declassified it has cemented my want to ship Liassidy, it's implied that Liao was young when the crisis began, they met when they were both adults, so fuck it. I'm fully shipping Liassidy now.
And to start off my Liassidy content I would like to say;
Mina and Cassidy have the same vibes as Katherine and Jack from Newsies.
And with that, have a good day.
Pre-Deadlock Rebels Novel: I don't ship Cashe, I see them more as siblings
Post-Deadlock Rebels Novel: ...Well shit I see it now. I RETRACT MY PREVIOUS STATEMENT-
_______________________________
In all seriousness, this ship has grown on me. It's still not one of my favourites, I still prefer YeeHan, Liassidy, Ouihaw and Healhaw but Cashe has grown on me.
Personally I like the ex dynamic they have in the current time so even if they do start to get along again I don't want them to end up together.
But young Cashe? Yes.
AU's with the whole miscommunication thing in canon never happened? Also yes.
