#yes I am almost done w/ Medic's witch; writer's block and brain fog hit hard :c

Question surrounding Fortress Magica

Once more, the topic of timelines have left me a woman scorned now that I have caught up with the comics proper.

To make things short, I am currently struggling with exactly where - or rather when - the AU will take place, since the established points I have currently are;

Humans can use magic without the assistance of an incubator, hence Merasmus

Miss Pauling was approached by Kyubey and, for some odd reason, refuses to cease budging her even as an adult

Scout has contracted before becoming a mercenary for the strength to survive his situation/protect his ma

Soldier contracted after the events of "WAR!" in order to repair his friendship with Tavish; this resulted in him being able to join RED

Mikhail also contracted prior to becoming a mercenary, this time while he and his family were in the gulag, and wished to protect his family

Medic found Mikhail's soul gem right before the events of Meet the Medic, and he's set off to find and contract with Kyubey

After Ludwig contracted, his soul gem ended up being larger than most's due to the extra souls; think the size of an ostrich egg's. His soul gem upon transforming looks like a large, glass heart in the middle of his chest

Spy contracted long before Scout was born; His wish is currently a mystery

Demoman, Sniper, and Pyro are the only humans who haven't contracted; Engie may or may not contract in the future

Saxton is the epitome of Badass Normal, but if Kyubey finds out the amount of karma he has...

So far so good? Good. Now, we get to the issue at hand-

If Fortress Magica were to take place after Issue #7, then how the ever-loving FUCK will Scout's death play out, since he is a magi?

BUT, if it took place before the events of these comics, where on earth did Medic get these souls if not the Classic Team?

If it was right after Rings of Fired, well, I hate to sound like a nagging bitch, but I have been planning the details on how Medic will witch out and the reactions of Heavy and Engineer towards his crumbling mental state (yes I see them as a poly couple, ehe-).

I hate to be on my knees, sobbing and begging to the overlapping fans of Madoka Magica and Team Fortress 2, but...
