Hey all! I wrote up a super short story based on one of yayame/HS2300's new Tracer age progressions and he wanted to include it as part of the piece. You can find it here on this page I've also been helping them translate some of their comics into English here and there . I've loved their work for YEARS so this has been a really fun experience. Plus, I hope to do more if the response is good. So click on over there and get responding if you're into that whole "young ladies growing old sort of thing"!

Hm. I’m not sure if you specifically are blocked.
Sometimes Deviantart won’t let visitors view art and journals unless they have a Deviantart Account and are old enough to access mature content.

No, she blocked me cause I knew who she was and noted her....before I read her journal thoroughly about her asking not to do that.

It's too bad that you can't see it because it's really good!
Thank you Spyguy for sharing! I hope you two do more collabs in the future!
I really like how you gave an AP twist to the Heroes Dilemma.

This work is no longer up. Is Yayame/HS2300 or their work still around? I also can't see the work you translated

I will search my files and see if I can find the story. The artist often goes through phases where they show work then delete it— so not sure about finding the image, alas

The artist often goes through phases where they show work then delete it— so not sure about finding the image, alas I respect tf out of yayame, have for years even commissioned a few, but what tf is their deal? Seems super sensitive to any of their work being posted, even nuking several times.

I miss having their work up all the time too, but they're the artist and its their choice.
Can never really know what someone else is going through.

It happened again.
Lena “Tracer” Oxton was in the middle of a hostage rescue op just outside of Mozambique when her temporal accelerator short circuited. She was blinking away from the landing zone when she catches her reflection in a store window: an out of shape granny with messy gray hair stared back!
Everything suddenly gets stiff as her movement slows and her body creaks. She takes a shaky breath and tries to focus her blurry eyes. If she time jumps again, she know she’ll come out the other side even older. Might even blow out a knee again. Blimey she misses being young and fast right now!
Worse, after the mission she’ll have to return to the apartment she shares with her girlfriend. Emily will have to pull out Lena’s emergency glasses so that she can see the baddies on her next mission. Lena gags remembering that she’ll also have to take those chalky old people pills for her arthritis. And her breasts! Her poor, saggy old bits. The concerned redhead will lie to Tracer’s pruny old face, pretend nothing was the matter, but she’d still make her take it easy in bed. “No need to tucker your ticker, luv.”
As if a woman named Tracer couldn’t suddenly keep up. Her hip only conked out ONCE!
Lena blows a shaggy strand of gray out her eyes. Longer hair was a side effect of the temporal instability, Winston told her. She’d need to get a trim back at base. Something practical, but still spiky and fun. She always insisted. She was already going to be mistaken for someone’s gran, no need to totally look the part.
She quickly shuffles over to the alley where the hostages are huddled. They look confused, thinking she’s some lost old grandmother out for a stroll. But what weird reading glasses— and were those pistols in her withered old hands?
“The calvary is here!” Her old voice would quaver with as much forced cheer as she could muster, thin lips dry and throat shaky. She sounded like a right tired old bird each didn’t she?
Of course, she’d be back to her bouncy young self in a few weeks’ time, once the chrono particles dissipated. But until then, she was old. Worse, if she pushed herself, she’d come back a smidge older than she left. A silver hair here, an tiny wrinkle there. It added up!
But there’s no time to chin wag. The world needed this suddenly old hero !
She rubs her aching back and hopes beyond hope that the next couple of jumps don’t make her need a cane tomorrow. Also, she could she use a bloody nap….
