♥ Genji's poem to Angela

Memories return, one by one they fall
Drops of rain riding atop the wind
My vessel destroyed, blood betrayed blood
Rendered broken and battered, yet my soul still within

Who would help me now? A poor heap of virulent waste
A sullied frame, cast into the blackest night
At the edge of death I stood, ready to make the leap
In my darkest hour appeared an angel of light

Precious hands of mercy, piece by piece
Rebuilt my being, I am whole once more
I am steel and iron, I am honor and duty
My heart a death spared, yet I know not what for

Golden streams and pure white skies with sun atop
Mine eyes invaded a foreign country so grand
A place I now come to adore with all of myself
A cold, metal stranger in a warm land


I felt like writing while I wait for PTR to update, I hope you all don’t mind; there’s no creative corner on the forums so in general it goes! Some of you might know I’m a diehard Genji x Angela shipper, and I wish every time Valentines comes around, theyd actually do something about the two instead of a single chocolates tease voiceline.

In one of the comics you can see Genji and Angela both writing a letter to someone and both have a similar pen, so it’s maybe hinted at they are writing each other during the holidays.

Isn’t it time they put romance in the current present day of the game? And I don’t mean with off-screen characters like Emily

They should have one of these! We’ll develop the lore if they don’t want to!

With just one glance
You send my heart reeling
Dear angel of mine
I require healing

Now fully cured and ready to fight
I no longer require your healing
Please take my hand in yours tonight
Dear Angela, I require feeling

As much as I dislike the ship, I love the poem. Bonus points for feeling very genuine with the characters.

Oh you’re more of a pharmercy or genzo person? :rofl:
And thank you, I didn’t wanna make a basic simile/metaphor sandwich “I like your face, your eyes are like the sea, thanks for healing me, please go out with me”

Nice poem though brother…

Bit more on that Pharmercy fan myself (though I do appreciate Genzatta). Partially cause both are heroes I love to play (as Pharah with a Mercy or Mercy with a Pharah), and also because I am a pharmacy student, lol!

Reinhardt’s Poem to Ana
*Clears Throat *

I love the wind in my hair
but I love your smile more
We make a great pair
Even tho tanking and healing can be a chore.

Your healing needles are like a loving kiss.
Your boosts are like smooching
I’m so big and strong you can never miss.
I’m In love w/ you and I’m not fooling.

Come closer Ana! Please come heeeeeerrrrre
Come closer Ana, I want to share with you my beeeeeeerrrr.

I may not always shield, I may sometimes have a frown.
But I know I can trust you. You and only you!
Because you are the best Ana, and you have never let me down!

-Reinhardt

P.S. HaHAha! Kids today, they have no idea how to write a REAL love poem :wink:

They should just canon…ic…ly make this poem what was in the letter Genji wrote to Mercy because it’s beautiful! It’s totally convincing as something Genji would write, and it’s not necessarily “romantic” so it wouldn’t confirm/deny any relationship between them, as it’s already established he has high respect for her :heart_eyes:

you know you’re just encouraging lucio to ruin the poem train with that challenge, he’ll go all out and make a full on love album for someone!

Oh I meant it romantically all right he he. I just wanted a creative way to say “thanks for saving me from death, I adore you now and you’re beautiful” :x

oh yeah, i get that, i meant it as “if they did put it in game, people can’t be toxic about it because it can be interpreted differently” As a GenjixMercy fan I found it very romantic, your word choice fits genji very well!

this made me cringe but good rhyming noneoftheless.
