Request: "I heard Thanksgiving requests? How about Genji, Hanzo, McCree, and Lucio having thanksgiving dinner with a S/O who's never celebrated thanksgiving in his life? For three reasons. I love your writing, I had to look up what thanksgiving was and how to celebrate because my best friend/roommate wanted to do thanksgiving dinner with me (His family is in a different country. Also, sports? On a holiday where you eat? That doesn't sound like a very good idea), and I'm very gay. Thank you!"

A/N: None of these characters celebrate Thanksgiving frequently and McCree's probably the one who knows the most about it, but for request's sake, let's go for it. <D

McCree

He usually celebrates it in a bar or by carrying on with life as he pleases, considering he doesn't really have people to celebrate with

However, when you come along later in life and mention that you don't know much about the holiday, he prepares to go all out

Thanksgiving specials and the Thanksgiving parade on TV all day (he's not much of a sports fan so unless you're interested in that, he'd much rather watch the Charlie Brown or F.R.I.E.N.D.S. specials as they come on)

Cooks the turkey and prepares all the fixings

Cranberry

Stuffing

Pumpkin pie

Corn

Gravy

A l l o f i t

If you have an allergy or dislike for something in the dinner guidelines, he's made sure to create an alternative

If you try to help he urges you to hang out; it's your first Thanksgiving (and his in a long while) so he wants you to enjoy it

He dishes out plates with a little bit of everything and joins you in the living room

He's not religious but if you are, he'll take part in your prayers

The I'm Thankful game

His is that he's thankful (and honored) to treat you to your first Thanksgiving

The meal is filled with idle chatter about Thanksgiving, whatever special is on TV, or whatever's really on your mind

After food is dessert (freshly store-bought; sweets are his bane when it comes to cooking), then snuggling on the couch with full bellies and happy hearts

Lucio

Briefly forgets Thanksgiving isn't a holiday in every culture

He tends to celebrate it doing volunteer work and invites you to join him

If you're not really comfortable with that, though, he completely understands

He'll invite you to help him cook; he's a master with Thanksgiving and tends to put his own twist on the food

Small turkey for two

He'd be happy to have you help

Plus it's a great way to hang out together

He loves to watch the Thanksgiving parade, though, so he'll often poke his head into the living to check up on it

Sets and decorates the table; he prefers eating there rather than in front of the TV

The Wishbone Game

When you get the longer piece, he pesters you about your wish, even though he knows you can't tell him or it won't come true

The I'm Thankful Game

He's thankful to have spent this time with you

The meal is filled with bubbly conversation

He answers questions you have about Thanksgiving and tells stories about his past Thanksgivings

Pumpkin pie for dessert with l o t s of whipped cream

Then it's a Thanksgiving movie marathon until Thanksgiving is officially over at midnight

The next morning he's up before you, taking down Thanksgiving decorations and putting up Christmas ones

Genji Shimada

He's celebrated Thanksgiving a few times, with friends and during his stay with Zenyatta, so he knows a decent deal about it

Though he celebrates it more for the giving thanks aspect rather than the historical lineage of the holiday

Aside from the general information, he actually doesn't know much about the holiday's history, so there's a bit of learning the two of you can do together

Everything is store-bought and most is pre-made

He was never one for cooking but what needs to be done he tries his best with

May ask you for assistance

Excessive sweets for dessert; the man has a major sweet tooth

He's so worried about food that he forgets about the parade and turns it on just as it's ending

At least the specials are still on though

Dinner is eaten at the table with the TV's soft noise in the background

He does take part in the I'm Thankful game

He has a list of things to be thankful for

Dinner is great for a first Thanksgiving, especially for most of it being store-bought

Then it's time to transfer all the sweets to the living room coffee table and snack away to soft conversation and Thanksgiving specials

Hanzo Shimada

Doesn't celebrate Thanksgiving himself, so it's a learning experience for both of you

He'll try to cook but it may not go well

He's never roasted a turkey, help him

He's great at cooking simple things but an entire Thanksgiving meal in a certain amount of time is not that

At least the specials are on TV though

Smoke alarms

Pretty badly burnt food

The house will smell like turkey for days

He ends up ordering takeout and you guys just chill on the couch eating Chinese

He did buy a store-bought pie, though, so at least dessert is present

While preparing the pie a whipped cream fight may or may not ensue

When everything is said and done and you're relaxing on the couch snuggled into his chest, he quietly mutters that he's thankful for you

Thanksgiving 2.0 will be tried next year

He's determined
