Pls pls PLEASE tell us more about your prince sniper au!! I’m already obsessed bc him and scout look so handsome🥺

I’m happy to explain!

Okay some background information:

So it starts with the moment when Bill-Bel gets into an argument with the original (mostly white) ministers of New Zealand about how even though he, a Māori man, saved all of New Zealand from “magma and nuclear war” they refuse to let him join the council and make him a minister.

They tell him because they’re sick of living down there and that’s he’s not worthy of being on there.

In his frustration, he manages to rally up the Māori iwi (tribes) of New Zealand and many of the white New Zealanders, into making him into the king.

He changes everything once he’s in control. The white New Zealanders or Pākehā get sent off to live in their own space within Aotearoa and the Māori get to having the majority their land back.

The next 29 years is quite peaceful, the local nature and wildlife grow in population back to pre colonial times and so does the Māori people. They bring back old ways of life and traditions along with more high tech gadgets (because canonically New Zealand in tf2 was made of extremely smart people).

And now onto the Sniper and Scout part of your question:

And then coming Sniper or I should rather say Mun-Dee Taumata.

He’s next in line and has only really ever known of being a Royal and living like the way he does, in a giant palace with guards always protecting him making him extremely sheltered and honestly very calm person.

He isn’t allowed to go out alone, but Mum-Dee finds his ways, always sneaking out to visit his kiwi, who’s named after the Māori goddess of loyalty Hinekepea, in his family’s Royal Aviary. She tries to protect him and gets angry whenever he comes back smelling like one of the ladies that Bill-Bel set him up with.

Oh, I should mention that the minute he turned 18; Bill-Bel was trying to get him wife so he could make an heir (no matter how many times Mun-Dee explained he was gay)

Then in the summer of 1972, out appears Mann Co. reps (All of RED Team + Miss Pauling and Mr. Bidwell) to try to make an agreement with the Aotearoa government on if they can used some of the Australium they own.

They didn’t know of the change of the government and when they arrived they were shocked to say the least. Scout especially.

The Māori people held a welcoming ceremony or a pōwhiri for the first ever manuhiri (visitors) to their home in 40 years with gifts, dance, music food, and of course, get a personal welcome from the Royal family. Mun-Dee had been extremely excited, and when he was about to do a hongi (which is we’re you touch noses together and do a handshake in welcome) with Scout, he slapped him.

It was a misunderstanding, Scout thought Mun-Dee was going to kiss him so he did some unnecessary self defense.

And that was the exact moment Mun-Dee got his first ever real crush on anyone.

And they eventually get together, Spy tries to blackmail Scout into marrying him quickly so that if Bill-Bel died mysteriously; Scout can be married to a king for political reasons. Scout just wanted Mun-Dee for who he was.

Scout meets Hinekapea and she almost kills him, more like jumped onto his back when he had been trying to make out with Mun-Dee. He leapt off and as soon as he was off of him, Hinekapea got onto Mub-Dee’s chest and made some angry sneezes at him. Mun-Dee had just thought it was cute and apologized to her for bringing Scout without warning.

Here’s a lil comic for when Hinekapea, after having a specialized kiwi home (like a catio almost) put in Mun-Dee’s room so he could always see her, treats Scout:

#tf2 #team fortess 2 #tf2 Sniper #tf2 scout #scout tf2 #sniper tf2 #sniper x scout #sniperscout #speeding bullet #tf2 au #my art #māori sniper #I REALLY LOVE THIS AU #if you can’t tell #I did a lot of research for this whole au and I feel quite confident about it #there’s no rocket in this universe so no drowned New Zealand #sniper in this au is just a lil pathetic politican/prince who has a fat gay crush on the first man who treated him like he wasn’t fragile

Chapter 2: Love blooms on the battlefield

Fandom: Team Fortress 2

Pairing: Soldier/Engineer; Helmet party

BLU Team as centre (Engineer)

At exactly 05:00 in the morning, the BLU Engineer was up and out, ready for another day full of pain and suffer. Unlike some other team members who rather sleep in for another hour or two, Engie prefer to start his day early or as soon as his body would allow him.

Fortunately, it was Saturday so Soldier would spare every member of being forcefully woken up. The unfortunate thing is that, because of their poor performance from yesterday, they'll have to work overtime. That means another battle against RED.

The base was still dark as the sun hasn't fully risen yet, with a few dim lights illuminating long, near ruined corridors. Early mornings are usually his favorite time of the day, when everything is quiet and cool breeze could flow freely. On this particular morning, however, the BLU Engineer could only feel dread.

The contract that secured his grandfather's job was passed down to him, given the fact that his father was already involved from the start. Although he had all the rights to cut connection with the Administrator, the pay was well over decent and he couldn't think of another place that would employ him.

Picking back up his father's left over work was stressful as well as difficult. Unfinished blueprints smeared with ink and oil, nearly incomprehensible texts and notes scattered his workshop when Engie finally got the chance to open back up that rusty garage. Long story short, it seemed like his father was working on a rather big project before he left.

The design for the sentry was his first renewed project without much difficulty, considering half of the design was based on his father's only clean print. The second most successful design was the dispenser, only fully completed when he's knees deep into the mercenary gig. With the addition of the healing beam when the RED Medic discovered the Über, the dispenser had gain more potential use in the battle field if any of the Medics ever get send to Respawn.

On coincidence, the RED Engineer managed to build a dispenser as well, identical to his. Engie wouldn't say that he stole the design and everything, but he still had his doubts.

The last building he's working on - which is a teleporter - is still a prototype. But soon, it will be seen in the battle field and he planned on making that sooner than later.

Engineer sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, glancing around the empty corridor before quietly making his way to the kitchen. No matter how careful he is, the old creaky floor boards always give him away. Luckily for him, The Administrator seems to let him slide off the radar this time and not alert everyone that movement was detected. The last thing he wants right now is to wake everyone up this early and then receive complains from it.

The kitchen, despite being the place that holds fire, was one of the coldest room in the base currently. The countertops were freezing cold, the stove looked untouched as if human activities were a rare occurrence. Engie flipped on the lights, getting a few flickers before it turned on and cleared up his view.

Popping a cup with the written words '#2 best Engineer' into the coffee maker, the half tired engineer leaned against the counter and listened to the low buzz of the machine. Like most days, he couldn't stay awake if he didn't have his morning coffee. This morning was no exception as he could feel his limbs becoming limp.

The occurrence with the RED Soldier last night still hasn't left his head yet, lingering at the back of his mind like Spys behind Snipers. It was kind of reassuring to know that another person - either friend or foe - knew about the relationship between RED Demoman and BLU Soldier. Though, he expected that person to be any other team members and not the RED Soldier who took notice. If it was the RED Engineer or the RED Spy, it would've been acceptable and understandable.

Ms. Pauling had informed him about their secret friendship once she found out and whatever he does, do not let The Administrator know about it. For God's sake, they are already at war with each other just because two brothers can't share and be nice to one another. He faintly remember Ms. Plauling telling him that they had hated each other since birth.

Engineer was so caught up in his thoughts, his body decided to go on autopilot and finish his usual morning routine for him. Looking down at his fresh plate of pancakes and steaming cup of coffee, Engie can't help but find that his food looked rather unappetizing although he knew that this meal was important. Deciding not to think about it too much, he swallowed down his breakfast and quickly left for the workshop with his cup in hand.

The early hours of the day went by rather quick, with Engie occupying himself in planning and positioning where his sentries would be place in today's battle. He thought of trying to memorize the blueprints for each of his buildings but then thought against it. No matter how many buildings he could memorize, there will always be a screw or two loose somewhere, which would just bring the whole machine down. After planning, it was time to work on the teleporter. With no other specimen to put to the test, Engineer sacrificed his coffee in the name of science.

The test went surprisingly well and he had to force himself to not burst out cheering and waking everyone up.

Though, everyone did wake up eventually but it wasn't his fault that somebody was screaming at the top of their lungs.

"Good morning maggots!" The voice of a proud American rang through the room and down empty corrider, causing several to get up and out their room. Even with Engie's thick walls, he could still hear Soldier's booming voice.

Soldier is usually chipper in the morning, usually fuelled on caffeine, a meager amount of food and passion for war. With what he saw last night, Engineer could only assume that 1he's happy to see his best friend again.

"Vill you shut up, bitte? It's too early for zhis.. " Medic massaged his temple and settled down in one of the many dining chairs, placing a plate with a two sandwiches on it - no doubt Heavy made that for him. Sniper, on the other hand, didn't seem too bothered by Soldier's loud enthusiasm.

The BLU Spy managed to find time to care enough to go call the busy engineer from his workshop. With a gentle knock on the door, Engineer opened his door and looked up at the French man.

"Morning Spah, d'ya need somethin?" Engie smiled and leaned against the door frame, occasionally glancing back at the blueprint on his table. His futile attempt to look casual failed as he just ended up looking restless.

Like per usual, Spy was in his blue pinstrip suit with a matching tie, perfectly ironed white dress shirt underneat, and a lit cigarette between his lips - the mask was something not worth mentioning. Even if the workshop was somewhat far away from the kitchen, Engineer could still hear the chaos being ensued followed by the telltale screaming of either Scout or Soldier. It's hard to differentiate sometimes.

"Obviously, I'm here to inform you that ze battle will be starting soon." Spy blowed smoke out his nose, eyes diverting themselves away from Engie's tinted goggles. "In about two hours, so we still have time to prepare." Spy added later on.

It wasn't all that much to expect from Spy, usually being the one who prefer not to have any morning interaction with any team members this early in the day. At first, he thought it was unusual and out of character compared to how he viewed the man during the few first days. But considering the many hours he spend in his smoking room more than around his own teamates, it became common knowledge that Spy despise them in most ways.

"Well, Ah thank ya kindly, pardner." A tired smile formed itself on Engie's lips before he could stop it. Grabbing his now cold cup of coffee, he exited the workshop and entered the kitchen, where the chaos seemed to have subsided somewhat. Like everyone, the engineer hasn't quite changed into his uniform yet - with exception of Scout because his uniform is just a T-shirt, pants, and his duffle bag.

"Vell, since everyone iz avake, I supposed ve should get prepare zhen." Medic commented when he realized that the room had gone strangely quiet when Engineer and Spy showed up. Sniper hummed in agreement and shoveled down the rest of his food, avoiding eye contact and only sparing small glances around the room. Scout let out an exaggerated groan, throwing his arms into the air and nearly hitting Pyro in the face.

After a while of complaining, it was time.

It didn't take long for everyone to get ready for battle, with protective gear and weapons ready. Demo and Solider talked to each other in whispers, occasionally giggling for no apparent reason. Medic readjusted his glasses several times, fixed his tie then looked up at Heavy with hopes of winning today's battle. The big Russian returned the look with a reassuring smile, causing a light blush to pepper the doctor's cheeks.

The count down began. The Administrator's voice was cold and emotionless and it did nothing to calm the engineer's nerves. As soon as the doors were opened and, before anything could happen, bullets and battle cries erupted faster than movement.

The engineer didn't even exit the spawn before a bullet was fired directly through his shoulder. The pain was fast and brief for he had no time to think about dying now. This was only the start.

Speeding past the chaos and death, Engie started building his sentries around and near the points. Occasionally, he could just sit back and relax, but Scout would constantly be a nuisance from time to time. And with the RED Spy being a speedy and sneaky little thing, he would often find his sentry sapped or even destroyed. The heat that the Badlands provided didn't do much to comfort Engie from knowing they're about to lose again. Fortunately, he hasn't gone through respawn once. Only nearly.

With each and every sentry destroyed, the BLU team get pushed further away from victory. Being able to capture two of the points was like being two steps away from receiving their paychecks off the hands of The Administrator. If their Soldier wasn't so busy sneaking off with the RED Demoman, they might have had a chance at winning this.

Engineer watched from afar as Soldier pretended to dominate the RED Demoman, a wide smile spread on his face from the jokes RED Demo told him. A silent fire burned inside him, his grip on the wrench becoming tighter by the second. Their soldier - one of the people who were supposed to help capture the point and he could've easily done exactly that in seconds - is talking and having fun with the enemy while everyone else is working their ass off for their paychecks.

Medic and Sniper hasn't to come out of respawn yet, Heavy and their Demoman is doing everything in their power to the defend the only control point that they've capture without the Austrian's support. Spy and Scout are working together to get to the second point while Pyro is busy constantly checking for spies around their teammates.

But Soldier is just crouching over there - maybe five feet or so from him - rocket launcher on the ground next to him and not a bother in the world. The RED Demoman could care less, knowing his team had already secured two control points. It's like he's doing this to distract Soldier from all the chaos around him.

"This point ain't gonna cap itself, get over 'ere!" Engineer shouted, luckily catching the soldier's attention. With one swift movement, Soldier rocket jumped to the next available point, now providing actual help for the team.

The RED Demoman was now left alone. No Medic, no health kit and no dispenser nearby to recover his health.

Knowing it was worth the risk, Engie got up from his sentry nest and approached the half dead RED Demoman on the ground. His uniform was torn and covered in sand and dust, sweat beads rolled down his forehead from the heat of the sun. He looked up at Engineer, eyebrows scrunched up and eye squinting.

Engie pulled out his shotgun, cocked it and pointed the nozzle between his eye and eyepatch. Fear struck quick, RED Demoman stared with wide eyes - or 'eye', I supposed - as a snarl formed itself on Engie's lips.

"Stay away from mah teamates, you sonuvabitch."

The trigger was pulled before RED Demoman could get a sound out. The engineer's uniform was now half soaked in blood, some sprayed up to his cheek and stained his goggles. Engineer sighed and turned around, prepared to return to his little nest when something that felt like a hand tightened around his injured arm and pulled him up into the air.

A small yelp escaped through loose lips, his eyes automatically screwed shut to prevent himself from looking down. The engineer's legs dangled in the air helplessly, his free arm eventually reached up wrapped around the person's neck to prevent himself from falling. Engie buried his face into the crook of the person's neck, gun powder and slight aftershave filled his nostrils but not in an unpleasant way.

"Hands off of me, grease monkey!" The voice that called out to him was familiar, but definitely not someone he knows. Considering how high he felt in the air, Engie could only assume that this is Soldier, but not his team's Soldier.

"I ain't falling for that!" Engineer managed to shout back after a moment of recollecting himself.

Soon, he found that they had landed with much less casualties than expected, feet touching solid ground but his arm is still wrapped around Soldier's neck. On instinct, Engineer unwarped his arm from the man's neck, reached for his shotgun and pointed it at him. Unsurprisingly, it was the RED Soldier that got a hold of him minutes or seconds ago. The surprising thing is that he doesn't seem to flinch or fight back. Rather, he stood there with his arms firmly planted on his sides, jaw clenched and body stiff.

"Drop the gun, you BLU scum." Soldier said, as calmly as he possibly could. "The match is over, your stupid sissy team won already." Without another word, RED Soldier reached up and put his hand over the nozzle of the gun, forcefully lowering it.

Engie couldn't help but feel confused. The match was over already and somehow the RED Soldier isn't attacking him for the thrill of it. Usually after the battle, Respawn will work efficiently for another hour before going into a small cool down, so why isn't he seizing the moment?

"Is this a trick ta catch me off guard?" The question was forced out of him before he could help it. This doesn't feel right, nothing feels right at this moment.

It took RED Soldier a while to answer him, hand fiddling with the rocket launcher trigger while the other one pulled at the hem of his coat repeatedly. "Negatory." His voice was stern and Engie had already picked up on the fact that soldiers aren't very good at lying.

Putting his gun away, Engineer readjust his goggles and stared back at the rim of the soldier's helmet that obscured his eyes. They stood there for more than necessary, both not knowing what to say or do during that moment.

The speaker eventually announced the winner of today's battle and to Engie's surprise, RED Soldier wasn't lying. Their team had managed to capture the last control point before the timer runs out and claimed victory.

"Heh, Ah guess ya didn't lie ta me." Engie rubbed the back of his neck with his gloved hand, looking away from RED Soldier to try and get the awkwardness out of the way. "By the way, why didcha grab me before the round ended?"

The question was direct, no circling around this one.

When he thought the soldier can't be stiffer than he was already was, he was wrong. The jerk came so sudden that it swayed the ill fitting helmet on his head, his hands curled into fists on his sides.

Before Engie could ask again, RED Soldier pointes his rocket launcher at the ground and blasted off. Engineer watched as the soldier landed gracefully next to his team's Demoman, a hand firm on his shoulder. Demo returned the gesture and smile, leading him back into their base.

Engie stood there, watching as he disappeared behind concrete walls painted in red. Removing his hardhat, Engie sighed with a weak smile and finally returned to his sentry nest, packing up and returning to his own base a little later than the rest of his team.

Unsurprisingly, he was late to debriefing. His soldier - the BLU Soldier - was finishing up complimenting and congratulating everyone on their hard earned victory today. Except for Engie. He didn't even acknowledge the fact that the engineer was standing there, tool box by his side with his hardhat in hand.

However, Sniper and Scout seemed to notice the engineer's lingering presence behind them. The Boston shrugged and walked off, glancing back at Sniper and watching him approach the engineer.

"Hey, yer olright, mate?" Sniper asked, lowering his shades. "Ya don't look quite happy that we won."

Engie's reaction and reply came quite late, his mind too busy drifting off to a world unknown to others. "Yeah, Ah'm alright. Just.. Fazed, is all." The answer was quite vague and he was purposely dodgy while answering.

And with that, Engie brushed off any other questions that Sniper might have and retired back to his workshop. Sniper pushed his shades back up his nose bridge and gave Scout a look that told him to either inform Medic or keep this as a secret between them.
