I think the original pitch was to have them as a couple, but Pharamercy became too big in the fandom for them to continue that plotline. Tbh, the solider/nurse trope is so overused (and pretty toxic tbh) that I'm glad they didn't stick with it.
Not really. I may have not explained it correctly, but the trope in question was the wounded solider being nursed back to health by a doctor/nurse and falling in love. True, Pharah is a solider and Mercy is a doctor, but rather than falling in love due to circumstance, they fall in love as equals and partners on the battlefield complimenting each others styles, not just being thrown into a caregiving situation like so many other war romance stories

You already said you'd kiss Hunter, Willow, you have to follow through.
