ive been in such a Blue Team mood lately so

blue team au where everyone is alive and happy, none of this dying/rotating cast of assholes deal. its one big poly mess

church is dating tucker, wash, and tex. tucker and wash are also together ofc. caboose is everyones bff and theyll all protect him to the death (but no one dies bc this is a NICE au). kai is dating tucker, wash, and tex. i used to prefer the idea of carolina being red team but lately shes been feeling more blue team and really it doesnt matter which team shes on, shes gonna have a platonic bond with church, wash, and tex (after a lot... of mending...) and maybe tucker too. 

some headcanons

tucker and wash are the sappiest gooiest members of the team and when the two of them are being particularly mushy with each other they are told to get a room 500 times at least

tex and carolina learn to be friends, damnit

kai, carolina, and tucker sing loudly together a lot and sometimes its endearing but often its annoying. kai tries to initiate karaoke every so often but there are never any other takers

when church is upset, caboose, tucker, and wash take it very seriously and are the most gentle and caring partners/friends and team up to help church feel better. after, the triad spends some time together all three of them instead of randomly pairing off like usual

when wash is upset, everyone takes turns being there for him. tucker is first and carolina is last. wash and carolina take awhile getting to the point of being able to level with each other emotionally, but once they do, they both feel much better for it

when tex is upset, she takes off on her own for a bit but she always comes back

church and tex’s fighting and flirting are sometimes so indistinguishable that the rest of the group isnt sure whats going on with them. they just know that either way, they should probably leave the room

church and wash power nap together. for once, the rest of the team tries to be quiet so as to not wake them up

one time, tex and kai got frisky while tucker was around. cue the scene from b99. tucker: why are you letting me see this? tex: because no one will ever believe you

church did not believe tucker

carolina did believe him, but told tucker to never ever tell her something this explicit about tex’s sex life again. having to witness tex and church flirt is already terrible enough

tex and wash barely know what to make of each other, at first. they werent close during the project but they do have at least 2 romantic partners in common now so they have an unspoken agreement of sorts. theyre cool with each other in theory, it just takes forever for them to actually interact, somehow. what breaks the ice in the end is wash tells a bad joke/makes a bad pun that makes everyone groan or throw things at him EXCEPT for tex who cannot stop laughing

prank wars happen, a lot. carolina was the worst at coming up with decent pranks at first (she’d flit between the extremes of something barely noticeable to something too intense) but eventually she hones the craft so well shes the top of the prank leader board

eventually, tex stops leaving

kai, tex, and carolina spend a lot of time with sheila. turns out chicks CAN be picked up with tanks. caboose is the only dude who ever gets invited to these hangouts, but only sometimes

kai does piercings and tucker does tattoos. everyone on blue team ends up looking really fucking cool

when red team shows up to start some shit, because sarge still insists that red team make a play for the blue flag once in awhile, they draw straws to see who has to deal with it. wash is always the one who so graciously offers to organise it and it takes the rest of the team embarrassingly long to realise this means hes gaming the system and is never one of the people who have to draw the short straws. after this revelation, church ceremoniously appoints wash to the position of Official Blue Team Negotiator so he has the pleasure of automatically being in the “deal with red team” group every single time

speaking of team positions, they still have the hierarchy chart that dates all the way back to captain flowers but its an absolute mess now that the team has tripled in size and people keep ending up with silly/made up titles

when junior is home from school for the summer, he is spoiled like crazy. he has like 3 aunts and 50 uncles. its an endless party

caboose crafts a sniper rifle out of some extra parts they have around base and gives it to tucker. the scope is backwards (caboose insists that the zoom blocks too much out, why wouldnt you want to see MORE?) but hey, tuckers more of a close quarters combatant anyway and he appreciates the gesture

red team ends up hanging around a lot (grif wants to see his sister, donut likes to hang out with caboose etc) and blue team ends up hanging around red base a lot too. honestly what is even the point of separate bases anymore. but thats a whole other post
