Just a really random AU with oni Genji + Hanzo/kiriko with a side of light shipping stuff✨
I'm really thinking about an au right now where Genji, Hanzo, and kiriko are just casually demons, like they're just full-blown only because the shimada clan were. No one knows this because they kept themselves in their human form most of the time, with only when they would have outbursts of anger or other incredibly strong emotions that would reveal the horns, the unnatural skin tones, the markings, and the teeth.
Genji got away with not telling anyone for a really long time, like he didn't end up telling anyone till post recall. mainly because he kind of forgot to mention it. And how he got away without telling anyone for so long was because of his mask. Because even in black watch The mask covers everything where any of his non-human features would be except for his red eyes which no one questioned. Just chalking it up to the cybernetics.
They still would have the dragon spirits/fox spirit, because that's more of a spirituality thing of their family line was blessed by those gods, so they have the ability to summon these dragons and utilize their power completely separate from just the fact they also happen to be oni. Which they don't even think is a big deal 90% of the time because they themselves forget that they're not just human.
Also because I've been wanting to have an au with the ship specifically for a while, I am making this a Genji X mercy X Cassidy AU!
✨Mcgency ✨
Would the new name be gencidy? Colency? The cosplay trio I don't know XD (those three definitely have the most costume like outfits out of the majority of OverWatch considering one of them is a cowboy ,one is an angel and the third is a ninja!!! they sound like three kids going trick or treating dressed in Halloween costumes which is frankly adorable)
Anyways back on topic, the only time Genji realizes that he probably should tell Cassidy and Angela is when they are going to bed (in my head I'm picturing because of the new recruits or how the rooms are laid out, they're having to double or triple bunk rooms because it's not exactly like they can get the legal permits to upgrade the OverWatch base considering the government doesn't even want them operating at all), he's going to take his mask off in the bathroom to get ready for bed and to have the first actual proper sleep since the recall. Since he's gotten so used to not hiding his demonic features at all ,considering he wears a mask all the time, it just suddenly occurs to him that maybe he should say something. Which would lead to one slightly shocking but evidently not that big of reaction of a response from the other two who just kind of went "*shug* thats cool". Which was a very anticlimactic response to what he was expecting but is not upset with.
Cassidy would also be the first to point out the irony of the contrast of Genji and mercy being an angel and a demon. Which they all would giggle at especially considering Cassidy decided to use finger guns when stating that fact.
And once again Genji just kind of forgets to tell anyone else in the OverWatch base, even people he's really really close with, because he just straight up forgets to mention it. Between null sector and talon, there wasn't exactly a prime opportunity to mention "oh hey guys by the way I'm actually a Japanese demon (Oni) just to let you know ,but don't worry I won't eat you<3". So it just never came up until maybe during one of their missions that kind of go wrong, perhaps talon captures them and in an attempt to do a intimidation tactic they remove Genji's mask only to get freaked out by the fact he has glowing red eyes ,red markings on his face, horns not only coming out of his forehead but his jaw ,and gnarly fang like teeth, which none of them have ever noticed before. and then the other captured OverWatch members are just like "so....uhhh.... is this new or?" "Nope, born this way. It's genetic" "Oh. Cool...I guess....." "We're going to be talking about this more later aren't we?" "Definitely"
Lucky enough they're able to escape before Moira starts doing all sorts of experiments on Genji.
Hanzo, you would have no clue he was an oni unless he told you, or more accurately Genji told you, because he basically had it beaten into him as a child to never reveal in front of people that he's an oni. And the only time he is in his true form where he's blue and everything is when he's sleeping or completely by himself.
Kiriko wouldn't try to hide it much, she would hide her horns but since she only has them on her forehead with her new headband she got she doesn't have to use the energy to hide them anymore. And she doesn't even try to hide the red markings and no one questions it, primarily just assuming that the markings are from the kitsune which they partially are, it just so happens that both things resulted in cheek markings which just kind of ended up fusing into the marking she has.
Also when Genji was younger, like still in the shamada clan, he would try and hide it a bit more but nowhere near as much as Hanzo. And primarily because she hated using so much of his energy to hide his horns he started wearing that forehead guard thing, and eventually a scarf so that if need be he could partially cover his face while also just looking incredibly fashionable and keeping him very warm in the winter months.
Also the reason they have the spirits is because they sort of act as a bridge between the spirit realm and the mortal realm with being yokai kind of wander one foot on both.
