Difference between the 2 teams:

Blue team knows more basic information about each other (names, ages, birthdays, likes/dislikes, and hobbies) whereas Red team knows more deep stuff (disorders, phobias, parts of childhood, etc), with that said I don't know which team would be closer/work better together though (probably red let's be honest) but either way both teams are close enough to get shit done.

Oh and I have different ships for 'em:

for Red it's HeavyMedic and Trucks n' Vans

for Blue it's science party and Boots n' Bombs

Another Masked Freak🪓

(Tf2 crossover x Friday the 13th fic)

(In honor of my favorite Halloween slasher movie of all time, I decided to write this crossover fic :3 this started off as a silly draft but it spiraled into way more then I thought)

(TW/CW: spiking drinks/canon typical medic behavior)

🪓

“I-I think there’s someone on the back porch.” Medic firmly stated. Hesitantly pointing out the window leading to their base’s backyard. Medic, Engineer and Demoman all anxiously huddled around the window. Examining the tall, ominous figure slowly walking around the wooden porch. Rain droplets soon began drizzling down from the night sky and onto the masked killer.

“Great, another masked freak.” Demo added then took a quick swig of his scrumpy. Engineer walked away from the window to grab a shotgun that was stood up against the wall nearby. Medic and Demo continued watching the large killer’s movements. Jason grabbed his drenched coat sleeves and began peeling his first wet layer off. A soaked white t-shirt was underneath, revealing the undead man’s surprisingly muscular torso. He began ringing out his soaked coat over some dead grass nearby. Medic couldn’t help but fixate on the killer’s massive forearms and hands as they worked together. Jason paused for a moment, flinging his coat over his shoulder. He suddenly knelt down and began gently petting a small frog that was sat in a puddle of water. Such a small gesture spoke volumes. The salacious doctor couldn’t contain his infatuation with this fascinating specimen any longer.

“I think we are overreacting a bit. Should we go say hello?” Medic suggested while clearly ogling the killer’s visible muscles.

“You’re outta your damn mind. I ain’t goin’ out there!” Engineer stated sternly. Medic stood up from being crouched over the window, he swiftly adjusted both his glasses and tie.

“Suit yourself.” Medic said while confidently walking over to the back door.

“It was good knowin’ ya doc.” Demo added. Medic swiftly unlocked and opened the backdoor wide open. Both of the other mercenaries flinched in fear. Jason perked up at the sudden noise of the metal lock unlatching. The frog he had been mingling with scurried off at the sound.

“Hallo! You seem lost, would you like some help?” Medic kindly asked. Jason stood back up slowly. Silently towering over the doctor stood in the doorway. The doctor became instantly flustered once noticing their drastic height difference. Jason understood the doctor’s question but wasn’t fully aware of how to respond considering he was mute. They both stood there silently for a few seconds. Medic then anxiously adjusted his glasses before speaking again.

“Why don’t you come inside and get cleaned up? It’s filthy out here.” Medic offered while reaching out his hand. Jason hesitated for a moment before shaking the doctors hand.

“Bloody hell, he’s befriending it.” Demo said in disbelief. Engineer let out a frustrated sigh and walked over to the open doorway, shotgun in both hands. Jason let go of the doctors hand and looked over at the short Southern man.

“Engineer! Put that gun away will you? Go fetch me some towels please.” Medic sternly ordered as he spun around to face him.

“Come on now doc, you really trust this creature?!” Engineer asked while lowering his shotgun.

“Ja. If he truly wanted to kill us he would’ve already done so. Someone of his stature could have easily broken this door down.” Medic explained while grabbing the killers wet hand and leading him inside of the doorway. Considering his height, Jason ducked as he walked in the entrance. The undead killer was slightly baffled and confused. Normally humans were not this welcoming. Although, he assumed these humans were clearly not aware of his infamous brutality. Engineer let out an anxious sigh, he set down his shotgun and left to go fetch a few towels. Demo took a couple steps closer to the massive killer, he gently shut the backdoor behind him and Medic.

“Ya want somethin’ to drink?” Demo casually offered. Jason stood there silently, examining the bottle of scrumpy the man had offered him.

“I believe he might be mute. Here, go have a seat. l’ll make us some hot chocolate.” Medic offered and gently patted Jason’s back while pointing over to the living room. Jason walked along with Demo over towards the sofa. Engineer walked back into the living room with a few folded towels in his hand. Demo grabbed one and draped it over the leather seat. Jason slowly sat down onto the towel, making himself comfortable. Engineer set the bundle of folded towels onto the armrest of the sofa and hurried over to the kitchen.

“Listen doc, I don’t know what’s gotten into you but letting a complete stranger in here is never a good idea. You know that.” Engineer sternly said. Medic spun around with a metal tray of mugs in his hand.

“Ja, I know. Would you mind taking this over to the coffee table for me?” Medic asked in that angelic tone of his. Engineer lightly grumbled as he took the tray from him. The Southern man walked back over to the living room and anxiously set the tray down. Jason was preoccupied with drying himself off with the various towels. Demo excitedly reached down and grabbed one of the mugs of hot coco. He poured a shot of his scrumpy into the mug before taking a big sip.

“Here, this one’s for you big guy.” Medic spoke up as he quickly entered the living room. He brought over a mug of hot coco with whip cream and a straw sticking out of it. Jason perked up at the sweet, foamy drink. A familiar, nostalgic scent he hadn’t smelled in a very long time. Medic sat down right beside him, handing him the mug of warm coco. Jason gently took the mug from his hands and stared at it for a few seconds. Admiring the small flakes of cinnamon on top of the whip cream. He stuck the straw through one of the holes in his mask and took a big sip. After a few swigs, he set the mug down onto the coffee table. A few silent minutes had passed of Jason continuing to dry himself off. Medic appeared to be drying off one of the killer’s hands, when in reality he was scanning every detail of the living dead’s unique flesh. Jason’s eyes suddenly began to feel heavier than usual. He inevitably slumped over onto the sofa and comfortably passed out. A devious grin crept across the doctor’s face.

“Did he just fall asleep?” Engineer anxiously whispered.

“Yes. Both of you, help me carry him to mein lab. Quickly.” Medic suddenly instructed. Demo and Engineer both looked at each other slightly confused, then back at the deranged doctor.

“So…ya drugged him up?” Demo asked tilting his head.

“Ja, I want to restrain him and run some tests. Come on, we only have a few hours before he wakes back up.” Medic eagerly explained while grabbing one of Jason’s limp arms and swinging it over his shoulder. Demo quickly walked over to stabilize his other side. Engineer let out a frustrated groan as he went to pick up and carry the killers massive legs.

You think in a Modern AU

Scout grew up watching movies like Greese and based a lot of his personality around that

[fruit-teeth]

Oh noooo I just had a really good idea for another tf2 multi chapter fic and I’m not even done with the one I’m currently writing…oh nooooooo….

[waywardsalt]

its very easy for me to imagine linebeck and damien in animal crossing. its the fishing/bug-catching dynamic. they would share an animal crossing town and walk around with a fishing rod and a bug net respectively

New Au (TF2: Respawn):

Disclaimer:

In this au, the respawn machines are up and running

Because the respawn machines are up and running, there's no need for clones, and thus the 2 teams are separate people

As the 2 teams are separate from each other in the AU, they have different names and stories (the mercs I'll be talking about are the red team unless specified) 

Not sure if them being separate from each other is true in canon but this AU rocks with it (it's less confusing that way, more work sure but less confusing)

Also, the time period has been shifted from the '60s-70s to 2024 so keep that in mind 

Let's get into the ideas:

Sniper is Māori (indigenous Polynesian people of mainland New Zealand), no one knows though (white passing with a tan from Australian outdoors)

He also has 4 cousins (2 sets of twins, one set is older than him and the other is younger)

Sniper is an only child so the cousin thing is to give him someone to spend time with (as he’d probably be kinda lonely)

Actually, he'd keep to himself either way (as he does)

He’s been dealing with some, sleep problems, thanks to the respawn going wacky (there’s “another red spy” walking around, and let's just say, it's not good)

(I mean it doesn't seem to be human)

No one knows why it seems to be only him that's dealing with this but hey, it hasn't killed him yet (seems friendly enough)

(he is kinda paranoid so that's probably part of it)

Pyro is albino (this is me trying to keep him as ambiguous as I can)

(Also it's my au so I can do what I want)

Medic’s name is Marius Ludwig (Mr. not Dr. as he lost his license)

Blue Medic is Fritz (gotta love Emesis blue) Schädler

Like Pyro, Spy’s name and place of origin are unknown (I say as if I didn't spend most of my free time in between classes trying to come up with names and places of origin)

Let's see: yeah I'm not posting that yet because I want to keep their main characteristic which is mystery (but I have stuff written down in a separate list for later)

Scout’s name is Jeremy (canon) Prince (my au, this is because I think it’d boost his ego, which could be why he thinks of himself as one now that I think about it)

The reason the respawn machines are up is because both Engineers got alerts that Gray Mann was planning on sending his robots (the teams got time to prepare so might as well build the things that’ll keep the war going by endlessly respawning)

Cheaper than constantly cloning them but still, Jesus Christ

Also, the respawn machine might be why Snipers a bit, off, so Medic and Engineer have to figure that out and deal with the robots

I think the idea I have for the creation of the Spy copy is that something was leaking from Spy’s machine while he was still in it, the leaking created an eldritch copy of him, the copy escaped before he could tell anyone, and now its somewhere in the base

(I really should do a comparison of the 2)

Also, the respawn machine showed Sniper some shit and now he can't sleep (he and Spy were respawning at the same time)

When he first saw the Spy copy, he thought he was just seeing things so he didn't say anything

(paranoia + sleep deprivation isn't a good combo)

The team has what they call "base pets" or “the (animal) crew” that just kinda hang out on base while the mercs are working

(Archimedes and Lieutenant Bites are prime examples)

But going off of this, Sniper has a hunting/service dog named Lana

(he got her back when he hunted with the Mundy's, before he went off to work for Mann Co.)

The team knows about her and she's even a part of the crew (he took her with him when he went to work)

The breed is either a labrador retriever, a bull arab, or a mix of both breeds

(I think the mix would be better at solving the indecisiveness so I'm going with it)

Engie and Sniper were weird about each other when they first got to Mann Co. (they knew each other from before and couldn't believe that the other person joined this kind of thing, they didn't get that vibe about each other when they met)

Sniper's parents are still alive because I've already given him enough problems as it is (phobias, general paranoia/anxiety, insomnia, all mercs have PTSD of some kind so that counts, and more) and he needs some happiness

(and also I love them too much to just kill them off like I can’t bring myself to do it)

I feel like whenever they don't have any direct orders from Mann Co., the mercs will just give themselves/each other things to do

like Medic or Engineer will need supplies but they’re also busy, so they’ll ask whoever’s available to get it for them

(it's usually Sniper as he has a van and I don't really think he has much to do except for being on the lookout so it makes sense)

They will sometimes ask Spy to go with him just so he isn't in his smoking room all-day

The only ships I've really thought about are Engie/Sniper and Medic/Heavy (mostly the former)

Engie and Sniper met in college (Engie was studying abroad for whatever reason), Sniper was eating alone (as he does) and Engie was like “fuck it, let's talk to the loner”, they got talking and exchanged names, numbers, and other info (and so a beautiful relationship was formed because someone gave a lonely kid a goddamn chance for once)

I want to say they’ve been dating for like 8 years (so they've been together for about 4 years when Mann Co. sought them out)

(this is probably why they were weird about each other when they first joined)

Spy, Sniper, Engineer, Medic, and Heavy were all sought out by Mann Co. for their skills and had no choice but to join because of it

On the other hand, Soldier, Pyro, and Scout all joined on their own accord (Demo did too kinda but he was mostly pushed by his mom)

Sniper is allergic to rabbits and certain kinds of alcohol

He's also selectively mute and easily overstimulated/overwhelmed so he has moments where he just spends the day with Pyro or Heavy (as they’re pretty quiet too)

The reason Sniper constantly wears sunglasses is because his eyes are photosensitive (bright lights give him really bad headaches)

This is because of migraines and an eye surgery he had when he was younger

I'll probably be making “identity sheets” in lieu of their files at some point but I need to gather the rest of the canon lore I want to use and find a good template to put the information in

Hold on, was anyone going to tell me that Sniper was canonically suffering from multiple organ failure, or was I just supposed to find that out through a Reddit post about Red Jarate?

Link 1: There's blood in my Jarate: r/tf2

Link 2: TF2 comic page about Jarate

Since Respawn takes place in 2024, I had to figure out when Soldier was barred from joining the army

I took his age (45) and subtracted 18 (when he would've been able to join the army) and got 27

Then I subtracted 27 from 2024 and got 1997 as the year he was barred

But I realized that I had to figure out what war he might have been barred from and to do that I looked up a list of wars from 1990 to 2002, I also had to make sure that the US was actively fighting or at least sending troops

The answer I got was the Afghan civil war (1996-2001) which was between the Islamic State of Afghanistan (supported by Iran and India) and the Taliban, the Islamic emirate of Afghanistan, and al-Qaeda (supported by Pakistan)

America, the UK, Canada, and Australia joined after 9/11 on the side of the Islamic State of Afghanistan so it works

So yeah Soldier was barred from joining the army sometime around 2001

There's an original character called “the Contractor/Informant” that I'll probably be designing soon (I'm also working on her character sheet which will be posted after this goes up)

She works with Miss Pauling to make sure that the information on the contract is right, that the mercs actually get them and get them done

She also has burns on her left arm and near her right eye (references to Kate’s prosthesis) either from a work incident or one involving a Pyro (so still a work incident)

Either way, this injury is part of the reason why she's not a merc (she might’ve been at some point but I have to figure it out)

Sniper was in nature documentaries and he was also doing some kind of commentary-type deal before working for Mann Co.

Scout worked at both KFC and McDonald's before joining Mann Co., he also did some professional baseball games but he got pulled from them at some point

Sniper's parents are housing a kid named Javier who is about 6 years old

Now I still need to figure out the reason why they're housing him or what's going to happen next (like are they going to keep the kid or will Sniper and Engie adopt him?)

(the second is likely but they need to figure out how to balance it with their jobs, and if their bosses would let them in the first place)

Sniper can determine whos who just by their footsteps (something he learned in his childhood) and can mimic them convincingly

Pyro might be the only one who actually knows whos a Spy or not (good for spy checking)

I feel like since Sniper, who was a literal infant at the time, was in a fucking spaceship that landed in someone’s yard, he’d be a literal spaceship baby (termed coined by Scout during a discussion about this) and most likely would've made at least national news

(because come on, if I found a fucking baby in a goddamn spaceship and it landed in my yard, I wouldn't shut up about it)

Now I wonder if his birth parents would've reported him missing or not, probably not given how self centered they are but i have some hope that they would

Engineer made a program with the sole purpose of keeping pyro distracted while hes working

[cedarin]

Pyro design for my TF2 Stone age au!

I like to think that she uses a fire breathing like they do in modern circus acts, like equivalent to her original fire thrower.

Like this!

[solid-white]

I have a few TF2 prompts I'm too lazy to write out so I'm posting them in hopes someone else will adopt the idea:

5+1 of scout saying things that sound homophobic and the team having to hide the fact that heavy and medic (and/or whoever else) are gay. But it's revealed that scout is in fact gay (probably dating sniper or smth) and thought everyone else knew.

Modern, chat fic au of the team where they're all youtubers. They're still mercs, but everything they do is publicized now because something-something the administrator.

Spy takes off his mask and has the entire team (excluding scout and the younger members) simping for him.

Just a horror fic. I really want more horror fics of the blu team after reading "it came with the rain" and "kith and kin"

Sniper and spy, scout and spy, heavy and scout, or whoever, learn each other's skillsets.

The blu and red team are forced to work together trope.

[the-fucking-cannibal]

My TF2 modern College!AU 💗💗💗

I will definitely get deeper into this AU for each character in the future, but for now have this little comic :>

[emmetofthestars]

ok but any modern tf2 au is only acceptable if they remain unapologetic criminals. do not come here with some coffee shop au
