WHY ARE YOU ALL SO HANDSOME AAAAAAAAAAAA

Maybe we should do something to capitalize on how attractive you find the team...

Dear Mr. Ludwig (RED Medic)

You're my favorite mercenary on the show! It is very admirable how ambitious you are and how you were able to literally outsmart bullets with the UberCharge. Your crazy and smart ideas are always a delight. I've always wondered; what is the craziest experiment (besides Uber) that you've done on a patient?

- Sincerely, Anon.

Medic has done.... a lot of work for the team.

[fortress-rising]

Olivia mann!!

...We'll be keeping an eye on you

[fortress-rising]

Ever eated a bees?

....didn't see an incident report about that one.

[fortress-rising]

What merc has the most fun just in life/ or has the least fun?

Spy has enough fun during battle, Demo, he's fine

[fortress-rising]

hey medic! how are you and archemedis doing? =]

That's a lot of birds to take care of, Doctor!

[fortress-rising]

Has there ever been any big incidences/scuffles inside the RED base among teammates? If so, how was it (or how were they) handled?

If anyone ends up hurt, the guys make an incident report. Usually Heavy just pulls Soldier off whoever he's fighting before it gets that far

[fortress-rising]

Mediiiiiiiic medic medic medic medic

Sorry he just.... gets called for a lot on the battlefield

[fortress-rising]

Well, it was bound to happen eventually

[fortress-rising]

Pyro seems to consider the team as a family (how cute!), but do the other team members see it the same way?

That's... One way of looking at it, Heavy

[fortress-rising]

SNIPER IM YOUR BIGGEST FAN‼️

I WANNA KNOW WHO YOUR FAVORITE TEAMMATE IS‼️

It's alright Sniper, Heavy is a great teammate

Hi Team Fortress! I love your episodes they are very cool I cant wait for the next one. I want to be a worker here when i grow up!

(hiiii i LOVE this blog and the idea behind it!!!! reality tv au my beloved. also i thought that a kid wanting 2 grow up into a merc is a funny idea :3)

I'm sure the teams will still need mercenaries by then

[fortress-rising]

Spy, are you able to do drag? Like to dress as a woman for fun or for a mission

Well, Spy, I'm sure we can find SOME reason for you to wear a dress again

[fortress-rising]

Do you like this newborn engineer kitten?

Sorry Pyro, I don't think I can let you keep it!

[fortress-rising]

Dear Scout

You get no hoes. Go touch grass. Love ya ❤️

He says, ignoring your other claim

[fortress-rising]

Are you friends outside of battles?

Don't listen to Spy, he's just grumpy

This is a psuedo canon compliant AU where "Team Fortress" is the name of a show broadcasting the many matches between the RED and BLU teams, explored through a combination of fancomic and in character responses.

Plot progress will be made through new comic pages, while asks will be largely about character and relationship exploration.

Setting Details:

The year is 1968, and the current teams were hired four years ago. Team Fortress, while only running for six months so far, has far exceeded expectations. Both in popularity and in how it's improved the public's opinion of RED and BLU. Not to mention the advertising for Mann Co. Not every skirmish is televised, of course. Can't risk the public knowing too much. But even the matches that are televised are pre-determined and highly edited. Basically, it's reality television. Meet Them All was actually released as promotion material for the show, while the events of Expiration Date occurred two months before Team Fortress began airing

Rules for Asks:

Keep in mind that your ask will be treated in universe as a piece of fanmail received by the mercs. You can play as much or as little into that as you'd like Suggestive content is allowed, but should try to remain appropriate for a 16+ audience

Current Arc: Season 1 - Teambuilding
