Mercs x reader that can shape shift into a civet?

You got it! I'll be honest, this one kicked my ass. I had to put it down and pick it back up this morning with Engie. I hope you like it! Sorry for the wait

The little things in life

Scout:

-Was a little confused at first and asked a lot of questions

-it still doesn't make sense to him, but he just accepts he won't understand

-Has this mini house type thing under his bed for if you ever want to hide away. It's cuz he knows the team wouldn't think to look in his room when they know you want peace and quiet. It has little battery powered lights and everything

-He actually had you help him, but just in the design aspect. He wanted to make sure you liked the appearance and layout. Will add anything you ask for

-Likes when you chill on his shoulders, chest, or pillow when he's reading comics

-Counts your spots and stripes when he's bored

-Might draw you if you're sleeping or sitting still for a long time

Soldier:

-Doesn't understand, doesn't ask questions, doesn't even think about it that much. It was like you told him your favorite color

-The closest he gets to asking questions asking if you'd be willing to help him fight in your civet form

-If you're willing, he would probably have you on his shoulders or back during battle so you can jump on an enemy's face to distract them and restrict their vision while he kills them with his shovel

-Would probably keep snacks on him, even in battle. Literally all you have to do is whack him with your tail, and he's handing you one

-Probably puts up empty hanging shelves and little cat caves on the walls for you to climb and jump around one, or even to just chill in an elevated space

Pyro:

-They have a new favorite thing about you now. Loves to pet you and cuddle

-You get literally anything you want for your civet form. Toys, places chill, things to keep you active, anything. All you have to do is ask

-If you let them, they will absolutely put you in little outfits

-They fully understand you aren't a pet while you're in your civet form, so you don't have to put up with anything you don't want to. Just tell them, and that's the end of it

-Would also have little snacks for you at all times

-They're more protective of you when you're in your civet form, too. They are automatically more reactive to threatening behavior. Turns into a certified crashout if somebody gets close to harming you

Demoman:

-One of the most chill about it. He might ask you a few questions out of curiosity.

-If he's chilling out somewhere, he probably has a pillow or something comfy on hand if you want to hang out in your civet form

-He probably wouldn't do much else unless you asked, but he would happily accommodate you

-It's just not something he thinks about very often. He would have the urge to scratch the back of your neck or feel your fur, cuz, y'know, petting animals releases dopamine n stuff

Heavy:

-An other one to ask questions out of curiosity. Will probably also ask if there's anything he needs to know, such as things he would need to do, or the way you act while in your civet form. Pretty much, he just wants to know what to expect

-Has a small stash of things like snacks and comfort items for you

-He would also love it if you sat on his shoulders, chest, or pillow while he's reading his books. Honestly, he'd love whenever you curl up with him in general

-He might also give you a hidey hole somewhere in his room if you want to get away from the team for a little while

-During battle, if you're low on health and Medic isn't nearby, he'd tell you to transform and get behind him. He'd be your meat shield any time, especially in a situation like that

Engineer:

-Yknow those tiktoks where that one guy puts their guinea pig on their piano while they play it? Yeah, he basically lets you do that with his sentry gun when the other team is having an off day

-But only when they're having an off day. It's gonna hurt like hell if it gets destroyed with you on it, and you'd likely get sent back to respawn. You usually have to give it a round or two before he gives you the green light

-He would love it if you were always on his shoulders tbh. Like those kinds of cat owners, you know the ones. You just don't have to wear a harness for obvious reasons

-It would probably be very easy to make him laugh if you're being goofy in your Civet form. Like y'know those mischievous little ferrets? Act like them, and he's trying not to double over

Medic:

-Lowkey, you made a mistake letting him find out. He will be begging you to let him run some tests and will start pouting if you don't. He would never force you, but he'll be really sulk-y for a while

-If you let him do most of the experiments he wants to and only tell him you're uncomfortable with certain ones, he's way more likely to understand

-I honestly kinda feel like he would be on the same page with Pyro about putting you in little outfits. It would be adorable, would it not?

-He would probably be a little oblivious to your different needs in your civet form, but it's not because he doesn't care that much. He's just a little too preoccupied with making theories about you n stuff

Sniper:

-Literally the best person to be dating when you can shapeshift into a civet

-While they aren't native to Australia, he's just pretty knowledgeable with animals in general

-All he has to do is ask exactly how much you act like the animal when you're in your civet form, and he can take it from there

-Another one who would spoil you, and probably does the best job simply because he knows what he's doing. He could easily help with anything related to your civet form and knows exactly how to make you comfortable

-One of his favorite things is when you just chill with him while he's stationed in whatever sniper's nest he has access to

-Onther one who would love for you to be on his shoulders all the time like Pikachu

Spy:

-Imma be honest, he would probably handle it the worst

-"Don't go contracting diseases"

-He's apprehensive at first, but eventually warms up to the idea

-Ends up really liking parallel play when your civet form. Chill by the fire while he reads, or whatever quiet activity you want to do

-Brushes your fur because God forbid you shed on his clothes or any expensive soft surface he has. You end up being pampered in that way

-Over all, has to get used to it first before he's chill about the situation

Note

Heavy sees another merc is upset, and as a resident tickle monster (because c'mon, he has three sisters) he picks up the other merc to tickle them.

How does he tickle them and how does the person react?

It's one thing that he has three sisters and another that he has many other excellent tickle monster qualities as well :D. So yes, of course he is the ler in the team, and so in this scenario:

Scout: Heavy picks him up, throws him over his shoulder, keeps him there with one arm while his other hand is going after Scout's legs - mainly behind his knees and feet, but calves and thighs are still very much on the table. Scout meanwhile is laughing and squirming and trying his best to free himself while also knowing there's no way he will be able to do that. He's also punching Heavy on the back while demanding him to release him. It doesn't work :3. Good, considering Scout actually likes it and that guy loves cheer up tickles. One more thing worth including here is that Scout finds tickles from behind more flustering than from the front. There's just something so good bad about not being able to see where he'll be tickled next

Soldier: Heavy just freaking picks him up by holding one of his wrists and then tickles his outstretched armpit hehe. Soldier absolutely freaks, kicking and wiggling and flailing his free hand and at first he might look like he's fighting for his life but actually after a while it's sooo visible how much he's enjoying himself and his smile is so genuine even as he's screaming at Heavy to "stop using those commie techniques" on him because they won't work anyway

Pyro: All Heavy has to do is call Pyro over "Pyro, come, Heavy makes better." And once upset Peebo does Heavy picks him up by his sides and then! Squeezes! Pyro almost intantly squirms lightly while letting out muffled giggles. Overall, you can clearly say how much he likes it and to the point that if Heavy stops too soon Pyro will grumble and reach out his hands towards him while bouncing on his toes so Heavy does it all again.

Demoman: Heavy scoops him up bridal style, uncovers his tummy, lifts it higher to his lips, and then, of course, raspberries follow making Demo cackle and push at Heavy, yelling "Heavy! Lad! Ack- NOHOHOHO, LEHEHET ME DOHOHOWN!". Heavy, of course, does not for a good while.

Engineer: Heavy holds him with one arm against him while worming one hand under his overalls to prod and poke and squeeze at his tummy. Yeah, sorry, I'm never recovering from lee!Engineer being tickled by his ler showing their hands under his overalls, if there's lee!Engie in my post this is going to happen, sorry not sorry >.>. Anyway, Engie's reaction is to arch his back and tense up and telling Heavy to put him down while snickering and trying his best not to burst into laughter. I mean, his tummy is his most ticklish spot, so even if Heavy's being nice it's not exactly easy to survive.

Medic: Heavy picks him up in such a way that ensures Medic's facing him and goes after his neck with raspberries. This is Medic's most ticklish spot and normally this combined with his shemeless need for tickles makes it his favourite spot. So even if he's upset enough that he's grumbling and acting like he doesn't want it ultimately abusing that most ticklish spot is the best way. So at first Medic might genuinely protest but very quickly his love for tickles will take over and then he's shrieking in happiness. He needed that

Sniper: Hear me out. Heavy picks him up and sits him on his shoulder and then? He tickles his feet (after removing his shoes if needed). Sniper thinks this position is so unserious but at the same time he can't help but laugh while also holding onto Heavy not to fall but at the same time he's trying to get free. And his legs are kicking while he's trying sooo hard to remain normal and absolutely failing. It's so stupid in fact he can't help but be amused on top of, of course, being tickled so it very much works.

Spy: listen, Spy is dangerous when provoked and while he is close to the person who did this so Heavy holds him away from his body. In practice it looks really stupid because he holds Spy by his sides, away from his body and kinda upwards (hey, Upwards is a tf2 map, hehe) so it looks like he's offering the French bastard to the sun or something. Anyway. While doing that he's tickling him be squeezing everywhere he can reach - his sides, ribs, hips. And no, Heavy's not afraid of Spy hurting him, but he's doing all that to cheer him up, not to have a fight.

I'm actually so obsessed now with that position I gave for Sniper. Uh oh.

Trying something new…

TF2 mercs with a reader experiencing a panic attack. Gender neutral.

This has Engie, Medic, and Scout, cuz I love those three especially. Not sure if I can do requests, but I could try.

Notes: I’ve never had the pleasure of actually playing the game because my technology is very limited (one day…), but I love the characters. If my writing for the mechanics is wack, that’s why.

I also know it would be hard to have a panic disorder and be a mercenary, but I feel like it could still happen sometimes. They’re still human.

Warnings: descriptions of panic attacks and other mental health ailments that may be associated with them, including dissociation, hyperventilation, insomnia, and hallucinations.

Engineer:

-You had been forced into a corner. Inching closer and closer to respawn by the second.

-How many more hits could you take? You weren’t sure. But you didn’t want to go through that again…it had happened so many times…maybe you truly were losing your touch.

-The breath hitched in your throat, and tears threatened to spill down your face. Please…please just leave me alone…!

-A voice crooned from just behind him. The sadistic grin was wiped off your attacker’s face as he received a bright bolt of light to the back of his head, slumping over with a thud.

- “That’s just about enough a’ that, son.” Engineer, with the Short Circuit still smoking, looked down at you. “Ah…” Even with his eyes covered by his goggles, you could see the pleased smirk drop immediately as he retracted the weapon.

-Maybe it was the visible concern, maybe it was the fact that you didn’t have to be in fight or flight anymore, but the dam broke. You couldn’t breathe, every attempt at getting air came out in sharp gasps, audibly sobbing.

-“C’mere, darlin’…how bad did he getcha… Whoa—”

-You clamped your arms around him when he went to help you up, holding for dear life as your face quickly became slick with tears. “T-too close…I, I almost…oh my gosh…”

-Engie went rigid for a moment, clearly not expecting the sudden grasp, not knowing what to do.

-Machines, those he knew how to fix. But to find one of his closest teammates broken down crying in his arms, shaking like a leaf… how could he fix that? Could he…? Surely, surely he could. He would. That was his job!

-Slowly, warmly, two strong arms wrapped around you, stroking your shoulder with his thumb.

-“Now, now, honey…don’t you cry, I got ‘em for ya. And if anyone lays another finger on ya, they’re gettin’ a wrench to the dome, hear me?” You nodded quick, curling your head into his shoulder.

-“Let’s get you outta here, we’ll find the doc together, patch you up. Up ya go…”

-Assuming you didn’t start walking by yourself, he did his best to smoothly transfer you out of the embrace and into a close carry.

-You still struggled to catch your breath, and as he picked his pace up, you rested your head against his chest.

-Feeling his voice reverberate, you heard him humming the song he’d been softly singing the other night. The same one you had fallen asleep to. Trying to soothe you, in his own sort of way.

Medic

-Burning. Burning all over. That’s all you remember. You’d dropped your guard…there was just a Pyro and a Scout left, and you’d ended up completely burned.

-As you were brought back, you found that you couldn’t stand.

-Medic hurried up to you as you dropped to your knees, MediGun in hand. “Ah, wunderbar (wonderful)! I have saved a charge just for you, let’s go finish—oh. (Y/N), was ist los (what’s the matter)???”

-You grasped at your arms, your legs, you swore you could still feel the flames licking at you. Your breathing sped up, feeling your heart pounding in your ears.

-Medic may have had his license revoked, but he still knew exactly what this was.

-As you tried to get up and listen to what he had been telling you to do, he immediately stood in front of you. “Nein, I cannot in good conscience let you go back out right now. Bitte (please), (Y/N), sit down.”

-Plunking yourself right back down on the floor, you fought hard against the tightness that was forming in your throat. “That…that freaking sucked…”

-“I know that it did.” Out of the corner of your eye, you saw him moving to put an arm around your shoulder, giving you a moment to back away if you needed to.

-He seemed surprised when you instead leaned against him, trying your best to keep yourself together.

-“Oh! …ah, Liebe, that is not one you recover from quickly. Sit still…it’s okay.”

-The doctor reached over and softly ruffled your hair, his touch surprisingly gentle. A few tears escaped your eyes, but you were beginning to catch your breath again.

-“I know I was a bit strict, but…sending you out like this could easily get you killed again…and we do not want that.”

-Medic stared daggers towards the direction of the scent of smoke. How dare they set you ablaze. He’d make sure to take them out in pieces…

-The thought of bloodshed nearly drove him to his feet, almost hungry for it, but as he looked at you, he dropped his shoulders. We can get revenge later. They need me right now.

-“Liebe, listen. Don’t work so hard, alright? It’s no good for your heart… There will be hell to pay for that…for now though...stay here. And I’ll stay too, if it helps. I just healed everyone, I think they’ll be good.”

-You glanced up at him. “Are you comfortable like this?” He rolled his eyes wearily, but chuckled.

-“Me? I’m just fine.”

Scout

-The enemy Spy had been absolutely unrelenting for the last few days. Nowhere was safe. Nowhere at all.

-You were so anxious about going back to that the next day that it was even beginning to mess with your sleep. You swear you saw shadows moving, eyes in the dark…the lack of sleep only made it worse.

-Every encounter with that menace ran through your mind, playing on repeat as you stared at the ceiling. Finally, you decided to give up on sleep and go back downstairs.

-Upon seeing a shadow standing in the darkness, you couldn’t help but stumble backwards with a gasp, fumbling for a weapon that wasn’t anywhere near you.

-“Whoa! Hey pal, whatcha doin’ up right now?”

-The voice was clearly that of the Scout…or maybe that was what he wanted you to think.

-Unable to catch your breath, you ended up with your back to a wall, hands up in front of you in a panic. You saw Scout through your fingers—and quickly-accumulating tears at the corners of your vision. He looked…worried. Extremely so.

-Scout was confused, not atypical for him. But why were they so afraid? He hadn’t been too loud, had he? “…(Y/N)…it’s me, Scout. Jeremy. Ya…ya don’t gotta be scared. I’m sorry…didn’t mean ta scare ya.”

-Your hands visibly shook as you looked at him, desperately searching for some sign that could tell you if this was real or fake. “…you’re the real one…?”

-Oh. They were scared about the Spy…that scared? He’d noticed they’d been acting way different.

-“It’s the real me, (Y/N). Ain’t no freakin’ Spy gettin’ in here with me around. I’d never lie to ya, so please…”

-Somehow this did the trick. You fell apart, crying into your hands, which were cold and clammy at this point, ashamed of your own fear. “I’m sorry! …I’m sorry…”

-“Hey…it’s okay, I gotcha…” Scout knelt down in front of them, holding his empty hands out. Maybe if they see I’m not armed, it’ll help?

-You felt a gentle tap on your knee. Pulling one hand back, you found Scout holding his own out to you. “C’mere a sec.”

-Taking his hand, his fingers carefully intertwined with yours. You could feel the roughness around his palm from the constant grip on his bat.

-His eyes were bright, even in the dark. “That Spy? He’s a wuss, ya hear me? All talk. And next time we go up against him, we’re gonna send him back to his base pissin’ himself and cryin’ for his ma, cuz nobody messes with us, right?”

-You couldn’t help but crack a smile as he tried to rally you, in the carefree cocky way he always did. “Y-yeah…that’s right.”

-“You know it! We’ll win, we always do! And if he gets anywhere near you, I’ll whack his friggin’ lights out, so don’t you worry, doll! Not out there…and not here.”

-With this, he pulled you in by the hand and wrapped his arms around you, giving you a firm pat on the back. “You know I’d never let anybody hurt ya, right?”

-“Y-yeah…thank you. Sorry I got so scared.”

“Don’t gotta apologize for nothin’. He’s a creep, I don’t blame ya. But that’s all he is.”

-Your eyelids were now growing heavy, and a quiet yawn interrupted the conversation.

-“Sleep, (Y/N). I’m right here. Ain’t nothin’ gonna touch ya with me here.”

not to flood your inbox but... what if the mercs found a freaking cat on the battlefield or base.... i saw that video of soldiers playing with a lil kitten... i gotta know what the boys (and also miss pauling) would do.... would it be an immediate ceasefire so all 16 grown men can play with a kitten... would they use a merc's room to house it.... its ligerallyy a kittycat omg ....

What Would The TF2 Mercs (+ Miss Pauling) Do If They Saw A Kitten Mid-Fight?

————————————————————

Long title but cute idea!

Also never apologize for spamming my ask box, I love it, it helps distract me from the fact that I have no original ideas!

This is going to be a mix of on the battlefield and if they decide to keep the kitten!

Also rough because I only have a short blurb for the Blu team (sorry 😭)

————————————————————

Red Team (+ Miss Pauling)

————————————————————

Demo is the first one to see the kitten. I already headcanon that he has a cat he manages to hide from the other mercs, so he's ecstatic. Like eyes filled with joy, hopping up and down, and seeing kind of ecstatic. Immediately finds a way to get the others to stop fighting, if anyone dared to try and continue the fight he'd kill them immediately. Pets and comforts the poor cat because it's all scared :(

Engie is also very excited! He loves kittens, he would protect them with his life. He lays around and plays with the kitten once it's calmed down. Is already sketching out a cat tower and new room for the baby. Has made the executive decision that the Red team now has a team pet.

Heavy is right next to Engie, holding the kitten when Engie goes off to start sketching. Puts the cat on his lap and immediately almost starts sobbing when it curls up and starts trying to nap.

Medic comes over and I'm not going to lie this man is internally melting, it's adorable! But he's also slightly (insanely) worried because his birds always come first, and is always worried when anything threatens their safety. The other mercs eventually calm him down, swearing on their lives that his birds will be okay. He holds them to that, and eventually let's the other mercs keep it.

Scout is also a mix of super excited and sobbing "It's a fricken kitten! Look at it!" Definitely giving the kitten like a million kisses. Is acting so silly, and doesn't care. Booping it's little nose, slow blinking at it, showering it with love.

Sniper is indifferent at first until Scout steals his hat, turns it upside down, and drops the kitten in it. Then he has fucking heart eyes, a single tear running down his face from under his glasses. Turns away and just says fine to the idea of keeping it.

Spy is so against keeping the cat. It's going to be messy, it's going to be loud, and it's going to be expensive. No one else is going to take care of it. Classic dad does want a cat act. Guess who falls in love with the cat after one day?

Soldier is the most excited, hands down. Is so happy about the cat, it's so cute, it's so fluffy, it's just a baby! He's playing with the cat, giving it love, doing the most out of all of them. If the cat can't be found, you know he's with Soldier.

Pyro. Come on, of course, they're thrilled! Will let the cat crawl all around them, and also let it sleep on their gas mask. Just ugh, they're so cute together. Buys the cat little outfits and buys rainbow cat toys, dumps so much love, treats, and toys on this cat.

Ms. Pauling nearly tears down the door of the base after the match to come and see the cat. She is such a cat lady. She makes sure the cat is okay and even takes the cat to the vet to get all of it's vaccines and a microchip, ignoring Medic saying theirs no need, and claiming he can do it. Definitely began to visit the base more and more often, claiming she's only making sure they don't kill the poor thing.

————————————————————

Blu Team

———————————————————

I'll be honest, I don't think the Blu team would do well with having a cat. I headcanon these silly guys as dog people, they would probably be willing to give the cat over to the Red team for the benefit of the cat. They'd call off the match to keep it safe. All the mercs would sit and play, love, or cuddle with the cats with the Red mercs. Honestly, they enjoy the small break from fighting and just enjoy the time with a cat. Occasionally during a battle, they'll ask about the cat inbetween gunfire.

————————————————————

I was going to work on this yesterday and then I slept instead 😭

I was up until like one writing the anime one but it was worth it to get it out, this one took me a hot minute too, but I kind of love how it turned out, I love cats and love the idea of the Red team being big babies for a kitten. Also! I love adding Ms. Pauling to things, she's such a silly too.

I spent all day yesterday with my mom talking abt a lot of stuff but amongst all those things she let me intensely infodump about tf2 for hours and I got to show her a lot of things, here are the highlights of me showing tf2 to a white uruguayan 53 year old woman who’s only game experience is bejeweled

I first gave her a very surface level rundown of the game plot which she found nonsensical the more questions she asked, I showed her the meet the merc vids first and at the end of each I gave her extra info about them

She thinks heavy is interesting and she’d probably like him more if he was put in a normal situation where he’s just a civilian living life, she never made a fat joke abt him so lets fucking gooooooo 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Her feelings on scout are mixed and didn’t like when I said he was one of my favorites, she said I need to like smarter people (this will be her downfall later) she did like him a lot more after we watched Expiration Date and found him and Miss Pauling endearing (she was great at picking up the subtext which surprised me) also asked her what age she thought scout had and she said 19 or 20 😭 then made a joke abt his baby face when I told her his actual age

Engineer scares her a small bit and does NOT understand how he’s my number 1 favorite (it was so hard to pretend I am normal about him in front of her) thinks him playing the guitar with a glove is stupid. I explained to her a bit of the conagher family story and she said that dell basically got the short end of the stick (because he’s tasked with fighting in the war AND maintaining the australium immortality devices when australium ran out) 😭

Thinks sniper is okay, I asked her what age she thought he had and she said 50 LMAOOOOO when I told her his actual presumed age she went “oh damn then I’m doing GREAT for my age”. I went on a huge tangent about the comic’s timeline and plot just to explain to her how he’s not ACTUALLY australian and she got sad abt him :( I did not tell her abt the jarate until a lot later bc I knew it would irredeemably ruin her image of sniper, I explained to her the game mechanic and as I was going to say “it gives the enemy a negative effect” she cuts me off and goes “yeah it makes them die from embarrassment” she also made a jarate pun in Spanish that I can’t remember at all rn I’m so sorry

Did not understand a single thing demoman said in the entire video and I don’t really blame her, her English is not good or that advanced it’s quite strange because she can understand some random complex words but had to ask me what “screw you” means so yeah she didn’t understand demomans accent she did however notice it was the same voice actor as heavy. I told her about demomans background and story and she found it so incredibly strange but wished for him to recover from alcoholism because it’s not good for him 💜 I told her abt demomans charms but she wasn’t quite charmed herself sadly (she did enjoy him in emesis blue)

Like mother like child, the Meet The Spy video was her favorite out of the bunch and she very quickly clocked in on the fact spy is scouts father without me saying anything, she said that from a technical standpoint spy is the most valuable mercenary on the team (goddamn not even the medic got considered) she also enjoyed him a lot in Expiration Date and Emesis Blue, I think hes still her favorite as of right now. Also we watched lil pootis and she laughed SO hard when I told her blu spy divorced blu ma and got with blu engie. She also frowned when red spy left lil pootis in the hallway alone and made jokes about mistreating his grandson

She did NOT like meet the medic or medic himself, absolutely creeped out by him and when I told her medic is one of my favorites she looked at me and went “your concept of what’s “comedic” and “fun” is very wrong and I hope you never get a boyfriend because I’m afraid of what you’ll bring home”….. I don’t know if she was serious or not 😭 I also never mentioned liking medic that way but I guess she fucking clocked me for it anyways. I tried to give her some medic propaganda and she found him tricking the devil to be very funny, I haven’t asked her if her opinion on medic has changed after watching emesis blue tho (I’m very curious to know since it’s a very different interpretation of him) I haven’t told her a single thing about heavymedic because I am afraid of what she’s gonna do with the knowledge of tf2 ships and I’m probably gonna keep it that way. She did seem charmed by the way medic genuinely loves his doves since she’s an animal lover herself

Soldier scared her a bit but mostly confused her, her initial reaction was rejection because of his ultra patriotism, nonsensical lines and violent tendencies however he grew onto her rather quickly to even make it to like second or third place on her list of favorites mainly because I told her about his raccoon sanctuary and the fact he is a great boyfriend (I didn’t tell her abt the naked honey fighting… I’ll show her later) and a great friend to demoman as well (she finds their cross faction friendship adorable)

Pyro absolutely TERRIFIES her she was utterly horrified by the meet the pyro video and doesn’t know what scares her more, the idea that pyro doesn’t know what they’re doing or that they do and do it anyway. I didn’t get to tell her abt pyro becoming a CEO in the comics but I’ll mention it eventually, the interpretation of them in emesis blue probably did not help her be less scared of pyro lmao. Also she thought the baby mercs in the meet the pyro video were oddly adorable and wants one….whatever that means

Overall she said the age of the game shows itself in the videos with their quality and what not and I also told her they were animated using SFM and briefly explained how it’s a free software fans have used for years to make fan content. Also she thinks the blu spy head in the freezer is the FUNNIEST shit ever

Her thoughts about Expiration Date:

She noted how this was obviously more recent because the quality was better

When she saw scout asleep in the van she went “that’s how I sleep”

She picked on a lot of details that I didn’t think she would and actually hearing her thoughts about the video after was rather fun, she did note how scout had used what he learned from spy later on the fight against the bread monster with miss Pauling for example

Nearly screamed when the bread monster ate the dove and let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was ok

Found scout very endearing when he explained he knew girls like Pauling don’t like him

The bit with the bucket made her laugh out loud I had to pause the video because she was curled into a ball laughing

I had failed to explain that they have teleportation technology in tf2 so when she saw the teleporters she loudly went “what the FUCK is that”

Loved miss Pauling a lot in fact before watching this video she asked me if we were gonna see her at some point since I had already spent a while talking abt her earlier

She didn’t have a lot of comments about other stuff I showed her that are worth mentioning but she loved emesis blue! She’s like me about liking weird confusing movies so that part she loved a lot but could do with a bit less violence, at one point whenever the characters were in danger she’d cover her face and go “they don’t die do they?” Over and over again lmao

I plan on showing her more stuff although it’s slightly difficult bc of the language barrier, if y’all have any videos or stuff you’d like for me to show her plz share but be aware of that

#demos ramblings #tf2 #team fortress 2 #I love subjecting my mom to shit #I’m abt to go do it again like in 5 minutes #there’s some other stuff she said that I either don’t remember or it would get lost in translation #thinking of asking her to draw a merc just to see what happens #she doesn’t draw often but she’s v talented and her style is realism

Hi! If you can, can I have a romantic match-up with a character? (TF2)

Name: Xyn

Pronouns: Anything but she/her tbh

Sexuality: Omniromatic Aceflux (look it up if you need lol)

Gender: AFAB agender

MBTI: I/ENFP (I'm an omnivert)

Interests: I enjoy drawing and getting hyperfixated on random stuff, I also enjoy being the therapist friend (helps me remember people value and trust me), I also (concerningly probably) enjoy cannibal facts and everything to do with the such, I also have a facination with the human mind and how it works, I enjoy rambling and being rambled to as well :D

Personality: I'd say my morals can fluctuate between not caring who dies or gets hurt unless I'm close to them or to care about anybody but my thoughts of who I hold close never change, I'm loyal af, like so much so it's probably not healthy, I keep promises to my grave unless I forget I made said promise, but those ones aren't usually the ones that are life altering, I'm horrible at finding "healthy" friends, often clicking with people doing worse than me (IE: a sociopath, not kidding), I try to be patient when it comes to my anger, very few things can set me off and the main thing is hurting/making people I care about upset, I've injured 2 people for that reason unfortunately, I'm pretty forgetful, mainly because of my ADHD and the fact that I ration the medication for it as the Pharmacy rarely ever has it, inky taking it days I have school or have to focus for the day

(Omg I rambled O_o srry)

Xtra facts: I have ADHD, Anxiety (General+Social), Sensory Sensitivity Disorder, and Depression, My handwriting is like Russian cursive (it's a bunch of neat scribbles), in a fight, I'd prefer up close since my aim is worse than my writing, Axes mainly but if it's a bigger weapon, I'll probably bonk somebody with it, I often use simple typing and emoticons (as you saw earlier) along with shortened text, but I am an honors student (dunno if that makes people think I'm stupid) just a very burnt out one :P

Don't feel forced to answer lol, I just saw smth like this and thought I'd be cool :] Have a good day/night!

I match you with...

Engineer!

He will hang up your drawings around his workshop, doesn’t matter what they are. (They even get a spot on the fridge!!)

He gets being the therapist friend, but he also remembers to get you to talk about your own issues. Wanting you to have that trust as well.

While he doesn’t mind you rambling about your many hyperfixations and interests, he does become a little squeamish at the mention of cannibal facts. (Not that he hates them, just give him some warning.)

More than willing to talk about the human mind, often bringing Medic to talk to you.

He doesn’t mind reminding you about many things, including your ADHD medication. (Which is much more often due to Medic having a bunch, just don’t question why…)

He does his best to keep you calm, but it can be a bit of trouble. As his workshop is pretty loud, alongside the whole base.

When you’re up in the enemy’s face he’s sitting behind you, watching your back the whole time.

No matter what typing style you use he will understand it, your handwriting on the other hand? Nope. He’ll bring Heavy over if you don’t tell him what you wrote.

Real proud of you being an honors student, even if you’re burnt out, he does his best to try stop you from getting worse.

While I really wanted to give you Heavy, I felt like Engineer was a bit closer.

Heavy - 6

Engi - 6

Scout - 5

Pyro - 5

Medic - 4

Sniper - 4

Spy - 4

Miss Pauling - 2

Saxton - 2

Soldier - 1

Demo - 1

Administrator - 1

vampire spy x reader x vampire engineer snippet/preview

the request for context:

CWs: nothing too heavy yet, Dark!characters, afab reader/female pronouns used, coercion

"You are my guest, are you not? What kind of host would I be if I didn't provide for my guest?" Spy spoke, petting at the top of your head, almost crooning, his voice dripping with faux sincerity. Engie could see how uncomfortable you were, sitting on your knees upright in bed, hands in tight fists on your lap, staring fixed straight ahead, not looking either of the men in the eye. Despite this, you were at least strong enough to keep your fear concealed well enough from flinching at Spy’s touch or trying to pull away any. Engie didn't have to look twice at all your scaring to know you'd been in this position before. He didn't draw too far into the room, not wanting to get too close to the bed, still unsure if he could fully trust Spy yet.

Engie crossed his arms, "I don't understand, if you love her blood so much, why are you offering me any? What do you have to gain here?" He spoke cautiously, trying his best not to sound too accusatory, though judging by the look on Spy's face, he didn't look bothered in the slightest.

"Let's say I owe a little favor to a mutual friend of ours. One who so happened to tell me you've never feasted properly on human blood, I offered to so generously show you how. You ought to thank me. Do you have any idea how many other lowlife, street vampires would kill for the chance for a real meal?" As Spy spoke he didn't look away from Engie, not even once. But his hands and fingers kept in motion. He went from petting the top of your head to using his fingers to tousle your hair gently, his other hand on your shoulder began to tug suggestively at the nightgown's sleeve, giving Engie a little peek at the appetizing human skin beneath the sheer fabric.

It was almost enough to make him forget about the Frenchman indirectly calling him low class. He watched the two of you carefully, trying to pick up on any discomfort or agitation from you, but whatever Spy’d done to you before now conditioned you well. Training you to keep docile, still and well-behaved around his company. You didn't try to struggle away or fight back when Spy's hand moved from your hair to the side of your cheek, using the side of his thumb to caress your skin.

Unsure of what to say next, Engie took a step forward, eyes completely locked on the exposed flesh of your neck, the expanse of space growing as Spy continued to pull down on the sleep of the nightgown until it fully slipped from your shoulder. He was so close now, it was like he could smell all the hot blood running through your veins, just waiting for him to take a bite. How easy it would be for him to break your delicate skin with the flick of his wrist, how lovely it would be to watch the hot blood run down your skin, he could practically feel it on his tongue now.

Forcing his attention from you back to Spy he questioned, "You don't want- You're not gonna make me kill her, are you?"

Spy's eye twitched as he forcibly widened his smile, failing to completely mask his annoyance with Engie's continued hesitation. That pesky lingering humanity would be harder than Spy thought to break, nevertheless, he wasn't about to give up yet. There was nothing Spy loved more than breaking the righteous.

"I made a promise that I would show you how to truly appreciate human blood, not end a life. Such brutality would only sour the meal, would it not? When I promised to bring out my best, I assure you, I have. She's done this all before." Spy could tell Engie's hesitation and resolve were crumbling by the second, with a bit more confidence he continued, "But if you would rather go back to your little backwater ranch to suckle cattle for the rest of your life, I suppose I can't stop you."

It hurt to hear, but Spy was right. Engie was sick to death of drinking the blood of animals, sure it stopped the thirst and hunger, but it never satisfied. He could drain a cow of all its blood, it was nothing compared to just a few drops of human blood, especially when complimented delectably by a little human adrenaline and fear.

Despite your ability to keep the fear from showing on your face, Engie was well aware of how your heart raced as Spy forced you to stay put. What could be the best meal he'd ever taste in his life was now within his reach, and he could hold out no longer.

Drawing in a shaking breath, Engie resigned. "I'll drink, but just bite!"

Spy nodded politely, a smirk of satisfaction spreading across his face. "An excellent decision."

How would the RED team members, react to a BLU team reader giving them a health kit when there like down/injured

TF2

RED Team; Reaction To BLU Team Member Helping Them During Battle

my goodness it's been a while since i wrote anything for tf2. this was a fun prompt to work with. apologies for the wait

Scout: "Uhh... ain't we supposed to be shootin' each other...?" He brushes them off like he totally isn't bleeding to death, but he accepts the health kit nonetheless, and then awkwardly asks the question of why the enemy is helping him. Scout probably assumes you've got a crush on him, and that's why you helped. He thanks you, and after that, he goes about the battle as usual, and he keeps the encounter to himself.

Solider: *Stunned silence* *Confused* *Angry...?* He doesn't know what to think. One moment he's injured and seconds away from certain death. Next, he's face-to-face with an enemy that just saved his life. The voice in his head is screaming enemy, but he's sceptical of shooting them. He's prepared to defend himself if they attack, but when they turn to head back into battle, he calls out a thanks to them before they disappear. He's still confused about it after every battle for the next week or so...

Pyro: "They never help. Why would they help this time? Unless it's a trap!" Despite being offered a medkit, he's cowering in fear. They're the enemy, Pyro knows he's not supposed to trust them. He's panicked. Pyro keeps trying to push them away until he can't take the injury anymore. He heals himself quickly and gets a fair distance from the enemy as fast as possible. When he sees that they've never made a move to attack, Pyro meekly mumbles a thanks under his mask and gives a little thumbs up. He never tells anyone about this.

Demoman: "This secret stays between you and me, alright?" He's willing to give anyone a chance, but when it comes to the enemy, he knows that he can't always trust them, if at all. He doesn't want to accept the help from an enemy, no matter how good their intentions are, but his injuries are becoming unbearable. Demo accepts the help begrudgingly but grumbles about the situation. Despite how grateful he is and a little confused as to why the enemy helped him, he gives a lecture about how this can never happen again, to save getting into trouble.

Heavy: "You are enemy. I can't accept your help." He accepts his fate the minute he's weakened. When he sees the enemy approaching him, Heavy is ready to be sent through respawn. But then, there's a health kit being held out to him. He doesn't move. Heavy rejects the offer immediately. He knows his job would be compromised if he accepted help from the enemy. When he sees the health kit being left by his side and his enemy then runs off into battle, Heavy begrudgingly heals himself, making sure no one witnessed him accepting help from someone he's supposed to be fighting against.

Engineer: "You know, you and I could get into trouble for this, don't cha?" Engineer is usually reliant on his dispencers to heal him, but in some cases, the enemy gets the better of him and his machines. He doesn't react when he sees the enemy coming towards him, merely ready to accept fate. When he sees them drop a medkit by him and back away, he's sceptical, but Engie will heal himself once they've backed a fair distance from him. Albeit, they were just doing a good deed, but he scolded them from putting both of their jobs at risk. He's grateful for the help, but he doesn't want it to happen again.

Medic: "This is wrong. You can not jeopardize our jobs like this." Much like Engineer, he can rely on his own resources, but things can take a turn on him before he has the chance to save himself. When he sees a medkit being handed to him by someone clad in his rival team's colour, Medic turns their help away immediately. If they're persistent, he begrudgingly accepts the offer so that he's not out of battle but a minute longer than he needs to be. He scolds them like a father telling off his child, stressing that if anyone is to know, they could both lose their job. Medic certainly doesn't want that to happen.

Sniper: *stress stress stress* He's usually situated somewhere on the sidelines, but with a direct view of the centre battlefield. He ended up in a bit of a scrap with the enemy Spy, but came out with the upper hand. Unfortunately, he ended up severely injured... Sniper isn't surprised to see the enemy approaching him, but he doesn't have the strength to fight. A medkit is dropped beside him, but he doesn't attempt to move. He's weary of the enemy. What's their intention? How did they get here conveniently at this time? Sniper will only accept the help, once they disappear. He now stresses that someone will find out, or perhaps someone even saw it happen.

Spy: "I'm not accepting your help." What a lie that is. It rare to find Spy injured on the battlefield somewhere, if it ever happens at all. He hopes the enemy just finishes him instead of leaving him to lie in misery. But then a medkit is handed to him by a member of the opposing team. His guard is up immediately. Spy has no trust in the enemy in the slightest. They'll need to be on the opposite side of the battlefield before he comes desperately crawling to the health kit. The moment is not spoken of. Ever. He won't even make eye contact with who saved him on the battlefield. But inside he feels so guilty. He knows he sheouldn't have acepted it.

Note

Here's one if you're still up for these: Pyro's flamethrower is out of fuel, so all the mercs have to go out together and shovel the driveway as a team. How are they at that?

Sure thing! I’ve seen snow like twice in my life, so I’ve never shoveled snow before but I’ll do my best!

Scout:

He is totally a whiney bitch about it until he gets outside and starts galomping through the snow like a dog. He doesn’t help at all, he just starts throwing snowballs at the people who are actually trying to get work done and builds a terrible snowman version of himself. He’s the only one who catches a cold afterwords because he stays in wet clothes all day.

Soldier:

He finds something very Traditionally American about shoveling the driveway, he thinks it is necessary to build character even though he probably has never done it before. He is very insistent that everyone should join in and that it should be treated as a group activity of the upmost importance. His strategy is to fling shovelfuls wildly over his shoulder because he thinks it’s the most effective, and ends up making it harder for everyone else.

Pyro:

They’re upset about their flamethrower, and clearing the walkway is usually something they really look forward to. However, they’re spirits are soon lifted after a snowball fight with Scout and playing in the snow for a bit. They think it’s kinda fun shoveling snow the normal way and are glad they had the chance to do so with the team, but would much rather use their flamethrower.

Heavy:

By far the best and most efficient at shoveling driveways. Not only is he stronger than a damn bear and great at shoveling, but he’s also done it a million times and has an attention span longer that four seconds. He does the majority of the work, just wanting the task to be over with. Ends the day certain no one else on the team would like ten minutes in a Russian winter.

Demo:

He keeps trying to suggest more creative and increasingly dangerous ways to get rid of the snow. He thinks plain old shoveling is boring as hell, why not blow it up? Melt it with acid? Shoot rockets at it? Soldier would usually agree with him but is caught up in the traditional aspect he assigned to the task, and everyone else shuts Demo’s ideas down fast on account of not wanting to die terribly. Eventually he gives up and starts tossing Scout into the snow pile for fun.

Engie:

He doesn’t like it, but he is not the kind of guy to shy away from some hard work. He secretly is thinking of machines he could design to do it for him or at least make it more efficient, but figures it’s easier to just do it by hand and get it over with. He is very grateful for Heavy’s help, and starts to lose his temper a bit with everyone who is messing around.

Medic:

He has no interest in helping and stands far back with a hot coffee. He has shoveled his fair share of driveways in his past, and honestly thinks there’s already too many cooks in the kitchen. The only reason he even goes outside is to make sure nobody dies, he knows better than to let this team do anything without supervision. Only his threat to replace all Scouts organs with live rats keeps Scout from throwing snowballs at him.

Sniper:

He’s cold and miserable and wet but he feels bad about making other people do work so he is helping. He isn’t very good at it but at least he isn’t making it actively worse, and he’s open to critique. Scout throws a snowball at him one time and knocks off his hat, then gets a hearty reminder that he’s dealing with a marksmen when he gets a snowball back at mach 20 directly to the face.

Spy:

Try’s to get out of it but Soldier says it’s a group activity and drags him along. He refuses to help and is practically whiner than Scout, and he’s shaking in the cold like a Whippet puppy someone forgot to put a jacket on. After like two minutes Medic suggests he goes back inside and Soldier is to distracted to care. No one knows that Spy watches them through the window for the rest of the time because it’s too quiet in the base alone.

Yandere Merc Dads (Imagine)

[Engie, Pyro, Scout]

A/n: I had to re-edit this since the voids of the internet decided my fully edited versions were a nice snack ;-;

Anyway! Sorry it took so long to come out but here's part two for yandere merc dads(and Pyro)!

Engie

Engies acquiring of you was...complicated. See he had resigned himself to a life with no kids. Despite the pressure from his family to get a wife and kids so that the family legacy could go on, some part of him knew that the cycle of Conager's wasn't healthy. A deep morality in him knew that he really shouldn't, that stopping the cycle of neglect and Mann Co puppets was something he needed to take on. However, when Pauling came by his workshop with a baby in hand that she was trying to convince him to take?...well a long forgotten instinct snapped once he saw your wide innocent eyes and how they looked at him with such great unknowing of the world. Engie had tried to push Pauling and you away at first, trying to stick to his own set of rules, but he didn't hold that resolve for long. Not when every other part of his mind was screaming to just allow this to happen.

"Paulin this- this really ain't a good idea-"

"You think I don't know that? I understand what I'm doing Mr Conager. I know what I'm asking you to do and I know it's batshit. Now, can you do it or not?"

He was very cautious of you at first. He took care of you, but he tried to distance himself from it. He couldn't grow attached. He knew he'd have to give you away the moment he had a chance to save you from this life. However, he couldn't fight his own programming, not when you sought him for comfort, for guidance, for care. Not when you relied on him, needed him. And so, when the opportunity had presented itself to give you away...he couldn't.

"Dell! I talked to the admin and I think I'm getting closer to getting a yes! I might be able to find an orphanage to give them to-"

"An orphanage? Ah don't know Paulin, that don't sound rahght. Never heard nothin good come from those places. Look, Ah appreciate the effort, but at this point we best leave the admin alone. Ah don't need her upset with me."

"...oh...are you sure? This could be your only chance-"

"Ah'm sure"

From that point on you become his child and by god does he treat you as such. He came from a cold home, one mostly of neglect; a machine of genius makers. So he knew that if he was going to drag you into this that he'd at least have to be the best father he could. And with that came a need to keep you safe and keep you as his own. Despite his growing overprotective nature, he made sure to keep it hidden well. To everyone else, he was just a good dad there for his kid. Behind closed doors though, he felt growing violence in his mind.

"Well now sweetpea, what's on your mahnd?"

"...Scout was being mean to me"

"Well that ain't no good. What he say?"

"He said you're not my real dad. Th-That you didn't want me! He's such a liar! A-And so- so mean!"

"Oh...did he now..."

He always has tabs on you. Cameras are set watching your every move and god forbid you somehow leave their sights. He knows it isn't healthy to need to know where you are always, but whenever he doesn't know he gets extremely paranoid and skittish as he thinks about every terrible possibility of what could happen to you. It's only soothed when he's able to stare through a camera and see you.

Crash- Bang!

"Ow..."

"Oh Mary mother in heaven Y/n. *sigh*...guess Ah gotta go help..."

If he can't see you though?

Oh no oh god oh shit.

Everything's going wrong. He's immediately on the search for you. He looks in every crevice and crack and he won't stop until he finds you. Despite his full-blown panic on the inside, his face holds a stone-cold expression. It was a skill he learned young and you can be sure that it hides his only further growing obsession towards you. When he finds you he's not fully relieved of this panic, in fact depending on your state it can get worse. If you're perfectly unharmed he's able to breathe again and he'll quickly pick you up, carrying you away so that he can be with you for the rest of the day. If you're even remotely hurt though? His stone face stays as he picks you up, immediately taking you to Medic. Self-hating thoughts and repeated words of failure are all that run through his mind all while he's speaking comforting words.

"Ow! I-It hurts!"

"Ah know sweetheart, Ah know. We're gonna get ya ta Medic alrahght? Everythins okay"

He will not make this same mistake twice. Whether you're fine or harmed, he will be putting hidden cameras in anything and everything you own.

"Aaaaaand that should do it. Hm...hey it works! Bout damn tahme!...Y/n!"

"Yeah?"

"C'mere. Got ya somethin"

"What is it- TEDDY BEAR!"

"Yep. Just for you!"

"Thank you thank you thank you!"

Despite his upbringing- well, more so in spite of it, he is an amazing father. He's kind, encouraging, and thoughtful. He gives you great advice and is always your shoulder to lean on. He's very good with talking through things and is always around and ready to talk to you. He'll drop whatever project he's working on just to be with you, which is something most other people can't say.

"...Dad?"

"Hm-?...oh sweetheart-"

"I-I...I broke your present- I didn't mean too! It w-was an accident and-"

"Hey hey, calm down. S'alright. Take a seat, just let me clean mah hands off and we'll see what's the problem"

Engie is absolutely in love with every small moment the two of you have together, be that homemade hot cocoa during a cold night or having him indulge in your hobbies. However, the activity that trumps all is when he teaches you guitar. He'd play it for you when you were little and his heart would nearly explode if you ever asked for lessons. It seems like such an insignificant activity for you two to share, but he loves seeing you get better. It makes him so proud to see you rock a guitar and you can bet that every time you do he's going to loudly claim you as his kid.

"And this *strum* is C major. Here, you try"

"Uh, okay!"

He has about a thousand nicknames for you. Honeybee, sunflower, sweetpea, buttercup, little lamb, the list goes on.

"Daaaad. Can you stop with all the nicknames?"

"Oh now why would Ah ever do that mah honey bee sunflower, little sugary sweet-"

"Dad!"

All your schooling is under him. He just finds it easier, especially since it allows for more bonding time along with a quicker education so that he can get into the more complicated stuff easier. He tries not to center your education around his own skills though and allows many different things to learn. Once you're near your teen years he gives you more of a hand in what you learn and helps you explore what you might want to do. If you, however, want to head into the engineering field he gets very visibly excited. He tries to hide it since he doesn't want to pressure you into anything but it's not hidden very well.

"How you holdin up on that project sweetpea?"

"Fine. Almost finished actually"

"Good. Cause we're startin a new subject when you're done"

"Really? No break?"

"Course ya get one! You're a bit behahnd though-"

"Behind?!?!"

For the most part, Engie doesn't mind you being around other people. As long as they aren't going to get you into trouble he can't get you out of and care about your safety then he doesn't mind. However, if he finds you with someone he doesn't trust or if someone heavens forbid hurts you? Well, Engie can get very scary very quickly. He's smart, maybe a bit too smart for his own good. He can play along, he can act and he sure as hell can gain people's trust before stabbing them in the back. He has no problem getting rid of those he finds harmful and he's even better at not getting caught. You are the most important person to him and anyone who dares to take you away isn't going to last very long.

"Heard ya hangin out with Danny earlier"

"...I-"

"Don't. Ah get it. Just don't do it again. Last thing ya need is ta mess around with those types'a people. Not healthy"

"Yeah yeah, okay got it-"

"Y/n..."

"...yeah?"

"Ah'm serious"

Engies rules are pretty simple parental procedures. After all, to everyone who hasn't ever pissed him off, he's just your typical amazing dad. All punishments fit your crimes and he's always calm about it, no matter how many rules you might break. Getting him to be angry with you is a hard- well more so near impossible task. However there is one rule he makes very clear that you shouldn't break, and that's sneaking off without telling him.

"Take a seat"

"C'mon dad it's not that serious-"

"You're not gettin outta this one Y/n. Sit"

"...you're that mad?"

"Ah'm very disappointed. So we're gonna sit and we're gonna talk about just what in the hell you were thinking"

He finds you rather quickly (totally not because you have a tracking device on you no sir-) and his first thought is that someone had taken you. He's sputtering worried words and asking you what had happened only for you to say that you had chosen to run away. That you did this on purpose. And oh boy, you knew you fucked up bad the moment you saw the fury take over his features. It'll be the first time he's ever yelled at you and it's honestly terrifying. You can expect to be grounded and if you ran off with anyone else that they'll never see you (or anyone else) ever again. When he does eventually calm there will be a long, agonizing conversation between the two of you where you will be forced to explain yourself. Just the pure mix of disappointment, confusion, and guilt that's on his face will convince you to never do that again.

"What happened?!? Did someone take ya?!? Are you hurt?!? Y/n talk ta me-"

"Stop! Just stop! I'm done with the worry! I'm tired of being babied! I left! I ran! No one else did any-"

"You what"

"...I...I left-"

"JUST WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU THINKIN!?!?"

You'll never notice his obsession, even as you grow up. No one will. He's a master of two faces, one seen by others and one only seen by people ten feet under. His more protective and paranoid behaviors will go unnoticed, especially with how perfect of a parent he seems from every other angle. And if anyone were to question it there's no way anyone else would take them seriously.

"You're all idiots! He's a fucking killer! He hides cameras- and have you seen his kid?! What type of kid knows how to build a gun at thirteen?!?!"

"Geeze, someone's rather paranoid. Do you hear yourself? Dell Conager? A stalker, killer and a bad parent? Have you ever actually met him? I don't think he's even capable of getting angry"

Engie will forever and always be your father and you will always love him. He lets you live your life, to explore what the world has to offer, but you always come back. You'd never even consider the possibility of leaving him. Sure you might move out, you might start your own family or simply bask in what life had to offer, but there isn't a week that goes by where you don't visit and there isn't a secret you would keep from him.

"Ya grew up so fast...Ah didn't expect ya ta be leavin so soon"

"Aww dad, I'm not leaving leaving! I'll be like, a street down!"

"Ah know Ah know. Ah'm just not gonna see ya everyday!"

Dell feels so proud of you. Watching you grow up was the blessing he didn't know he needed and seeing you leave is genuinely painful to him. But he'll let you go. He'll let you live. Because you're his kid and he knows you wouldn't ever fail to visit. That no matter what he was always your father and nothing would change that. That said, it's not like you're ever too far.

After all, it only takes a glance at a screen to know that you're safe.

Pyro

No one knows how Pyro managed to get a kid. Not even they know. They just showed up with one and everyone, either too afraid to push against the Pyromaniacs' decisions or not wanting to know how or why they'd come in possession of a child, let them be. The only one who did question it was Engie and even he found it better just to let them keep you.

"Hey uh, Py...what's with the kid?"

"...hy hut hu. Hy hust hud hum! (I don't know. I just found them!)"

They were obsessed the literal second they saw you. Their mind went into a spiral with how utterly adorable you were and they just up and yoinked you. You were theirs now, no one could say otherwise.

"....HUUUUUUT! (...CUUUUTE!)"

Pyro is entirely too obsessed to let anyone else hang out with you at first. They wanted all of your attention all of the time. Eventually they would feel comfortable enough to let Engie around you as well, though they were still around you at all times. You were never allowed a second alone.

"Huk! Hy hud hu huyhuy hur hu! Hu hu huk hut?"

"Yay! Pretty!"

"Huy hu hud huk hut!"

Due to this clinginess when they don't know where you are they become frantic. They'll burn everything in sight until they find you, they'll flip furniture and scream down the halls until they know where you are. However, the moment they see you they lose all other emotions and become extremely giddy. They'll run up to you, pulling you in a tight hug while swinging you around, completely ignoring the trail of destruction behind them. All emotions are quelled when they're with you.

CRASH! SLAM!

"HUR HUR HUY! HURS HUY-"

"Pyro! Pyro!"

"HUY HUBHUY!"

That being said, if you're hurt in absolutely any way their happiness disappears. They'll find the source of whatever harmed you and they'll ax it. Doesn't matter what it is, person or object, they'll destroy it (with love and bubbles) until they're sure it will never hurt you again.

"Ow! Ow ow ow!"

"...huh hut hum (who hurt them)"

"Now Pahro, why don't we calm down buddy. They just went and scraped their knee. Ain't nothin-"

CRASH!

"Pahro! Don't go destroyin the floor! We need that!"

Pyro is good with entertaining kids, that's just a given. They're bubbly with energy to spare, they want nothing more than to have fun. What is surprising though is that they're not just good with the entertainment part. They have bedtimes and nutrition plans. Sure you can have candy, but only after your vegetables. You want to go play? Sure! Just make sure you get your chores done first. They picked up these things from Engie since he treats them like his own kid, so they do the same with you.

"Oh cool! Cupcakes! Can I have one?"

"Hufthr hudhr (After dinner)"

"Oh come on just one-"

"Hu (no)"

Pyro absolutely LOVES when the two of you draw together. Something about sharing the hobby with someone else brings out a sense of pure joy. The two of you do so together so often that you're practically guaranteed to end up making amazing art pieces when you get older. Also, if you were to ever draw them they'd be so incredibly happy. They would literally keep that drawing forever.

"Huchhu huwhin? (Whatcha drawin?)"

"You"

"...HULHY??? hut huy hee! hut huy hee! (REALLY??? Let me see! Let me see!)"

"No! I'm not done yet!"

Would 10000% call you their firefly. Though no one but you and Engie actually know that.

"Hu Huttle huryhuy~ Huy hur hu...hutcha! (Oh little firefly~ Where are you~...gotcha!)"

"Dang it!"

You won't go to any traditional school. Not necessarily because they're against the idea but more so that they just didn't know it was an option. Instead, you'll likely be taught through the team as Pyro sees fit. You will most definitely have near daily sessions with Engie on math and other subjects he has spread throughout his eleven degrees. But some of the others help in their own ways too. Pyro will supervise these study sessions (and possibly scare them into helping teach you...on accident of course)

"I don't deal wiz children-..."

"..."

"...fine..."

Pyro is a bit of an attention hog when it comes to you. They want your eyes on them as often as possible and the only times they let you interact with others is when they have control over the situation. So, when someone tries to steal that attention away, or fire gods forbid steal or harm you, well...

It does not go very well.

If it's just someone earning your attention they'll straight up just bring you somewhere else. Doesn't matter if it's mid-conversation, they'll just yoink you and bring you somewhere else. When you get older though and they can no longer move you places they just annoy or interrupt whatever is happening until you're no longer focused on the other person. They don't care if you're upset as long as no one else is stealing your attention.

"Pyro! Put me down! I was so close to getting Scout to admit that I was better than him-!"

"Hu (no)"

If someone were hurting you though? That's when things get messy. They'll save you immediately, with absolutely no thought of self-preservation, before killing whoever hurt you. Burn them alive, ax them or simply tear them to shreds with their bare hands. It doesn't matter. Absolutely nobody touches their little firefly.

"Woah woah hey dere bud! We- We can talk about dis! I didn't mean-"

FWOOSH!

"AUUUUGGGGG"

Just the same as their normal rules they also have normal punishments. Time outs and more chores are their go-to and though they don't explicitly say you're not allowed to be around other people they really don't like it. They don't ever tell you not to do it, but the other's fear when you're around along with Pyros panicked rampages sort of instilled a sense of anxiety when not around Pyro.

"Pyro! Where-"

*distant sounds of breaking furniture*

"...oh no"

Due to the environment you grew up in, you're very unlikely to notice anything strange. I mean, you're on a mercenary base with an overprotective and semi-mute pyromaniac as a parent. To say your sense of normal is different is an understatement. It's unlikely you'd ever question it because to do so would be to question your entire life.

"Huy hueet huttl huyhrhy! Huy hussd huh (My sweet little firefly! I missed you!)"

"I was gone for like, five minutes"

"Huy huw! Hut hus hufhul (I know! It was awful!)"

If however, you noticed the strangeness of your life, or that Pyro's care is a bit overbearing, you would never leave. You know nothing else besides this. It was your normal, you couldn't even begin to imagine a different life, even if you didn't entirely like this one.

"Can I be alone? Just for a little bit?"

"Huy hud hu hunt hu hu hut? (Why would you want to do that?)"

No matter how old you get Pyro will always treat you the same. You were their play buddy after all! Their little firefly! So what you're older? That doesn't mean you two can't play together!

'We'll be best friends forever!'

And that's really all Pyro had ever wanted...

Scout

The only conceivable way I think Scout could end up in possession of a child is if his mother had one last kid and either died during the delivery or not long after. And considering Spy lives in the same base as Scout it was elected that Scout would take you, though everyone else was aware that the kid was only under his care because Spy is the dad. But, not knowing Spy is the dad, Scout raises you mostly on his own.

"Look I don't dink dat's really a good idea I...I just learned my ma was dead two days ago, I can't-"

"Ma said she wanted 'em with you. Something about you finally being able to be a big brother."

"Oh...den...den I guess I gotta"

Now it isn't debatable how much Scout cared for his mom. She was probably one of is not the most important people in his life. So seeing as you're the last remnant of her, Scout is immediately obsessed with you. The moment he hears the news he's devastated and with his swirling emotions he takes them all out by taking care of you. You're like a distraction from the reality of his grief.

"Well uh, hey dere little...baby...I guess I'm gonna be taken care'a you huh?"

"..."

"...ya know ya look a lot like ma. Got her eyes anyway..."

Despite his care Scout is still ultimately very immature. So he loses you...a lot...it isn't very uncommon to see him running around panicking about having lost track of you. Most times it's because Spy scooped you away for a moment though Spy won't ever admit that and will say that he found you rather than took you. Even as you grow older Spy makes you keep it a secret so Scout is just constantly being annoyed by Spys antics.

"Y/n! C'mon man dis isn't funny! You win okay! Just come out-"

"Well well, off to find ze lost child again I see"

"Oh screw you! is aint none'a your problem!"

"..."

"He's gone. You can come out now"

"Thanks Mr. Spy"

"But of course"

Being practically still a child himself he's pretty good at understanding kids and can help with the small things most adults won't give you two extra seconds for. He's good at getting you out of bad moods and is better at reading when something isn't quite right. But he's not very good with actually taking care of you. Don't get me wrong, he tries. He might even learn a few things along the way but, in your younger years, you can find most of your non-emotional needs being met by anyone other than Scout.

"Mon dieu, when is ze last time you gave zem a baz"

"...uh..."

"...Scout-"

"It's not as easy as it looks! Just watch! Y/n!"

"Huh?"

"It's bath ti-"

"NOOOOOOOO"

The moment you're old enough to run around and talk in full sentences he immediately starts teaching you about baseball. The game sort of takes the role of what better parents might call 'talking through things'. You two play in a way that's more about letting out emotions and coming to an understanding. Any time something goes wrong and one of you doesn't want to talk about it you'll just go play baseball until either the emotions are out or the two of you start talking.

"Don't wanna talk about it do ya?"

"..."

"...wanna head out for a game then?"

"...fine"

Would mostly refer to you by baseball terms like "runner" or "fast ball" since he strives to get you running at speeds at least a little close to his. However, he also likes to tease you a lot, so 'pipsqueek' isn't uncommon either.

"Alright runner, let's see whatcha got! Ready...set...go!"

Scout is hesitant to let you go to any type of school. He's never really had any good memories with education and mostly doesn't want you away from him. But Spy eventually manages to convince (or force) him to let you go. In doing so Spy will have to settle for letting you go to a public school rather than a prestigious private school.

"Fine! But dey ain't goin to any of dose preppy schools! I hate da types a kids dere"

"Scout, you and I boz know zat zey deserve a proper education-"

"Nope! Nadda! Uh-uh, ain't happenin! If dey’re goin to a school den it's gonna be what one I choose!"

When it comes to protecting you Scout is more of an isolationist. He likes spending time with you and will actively try to keep you away from others. He won't let friends over, though everyone else agrees considering you live in a military base. But he'll also keep you away from the others on the team, Spy especially. If anyone pushes back against it he only gets more suspicious of them. This will inevitably rub off on you and you will be extremely distrusting of other people due to this.

"Bonsoir Y/n"

"Oh! Hi Mr. Spy! You need something?"

"Yes actually. Why is Scout hiding you here?"

"He says it's so he can keep track of me"

"Mm-hm, right, of course. I'm assuming you want to leave?"

"Yeah, kinda. It's boring in here"

"Well zen, go ahead"

"Yay! Thanks Mr. Spy!"

Surprisingly Scout has a lot of rules. Most are just about staying away from others and restrictions on the types of friends you can have. Others have to do with hanging out with him. He has rules against you being alone for too long (more so leaving him alone for too long) so you will never have more than an hour without him. He also gets antsy when you talk to others and has outright told you to stay away from them on multiple occasions.

"Hey kiddo! Been a while since Ah've seen ya 'round. How ya been?"

"...uh...um-"

"Y/n! Get over here! I got somethin ta show ya!"

"Coming!"

Enforcing these rules is where Scout lacks. He gets really confused and frustrated when you don't listen to him so he doesn't really know how to get you to listen or how exactly to punish you. They range from extreme punishments, such as taking away food or locking you in your room for days, to extremely light punishments by simply telling you never to do that again. These wildly swinging changes grow a sense of fear in you considering the punishment for certain offenses are always changing. So you learn to not break any rules, no matter how small.

"Um...Mr uh, Mr. Engie? Could you uh...could you grab that for me?"

"Huh? Oh! Sure thing! Here"

"Thank you-"

"Y/n!"

"uh oh"

Spy most definitely sees this problem and often tries to step in and help talk his son down or help you when he goes overboard. If Scout ever notices this happen he'll get extremely paranoid of Spy and won't let him anywhere near you. Not that Spy ever actually allows this to happen though.

"Hey! Just what do you dink you're doing ya shapeshiftin rat!"

"Letting ze child out. Zere is no reason to have kept zem locked up zis long-"

"You tellin me what ta do? With my own family? Look, you ain't got no right actin betta dan me. You probably got loads'a knocked up chicks askin for child support, you don't get ta go around tellin me how ta parent!"

If, however, Spy or any others on the team were to push too hard against Scout's rules he would straight up leave. He'd take you with him and just go. And, despite his horrible record with hiding and keeping quiet, he'd try to do just that. He'd likely be found very quickly by Spy but, considering Spy has to keep his care hidden, he'll likely just keep track of the two of you and keep you both hidden from the Admin, since she would most definitely have Pauling hunting the two of you down.

"C'mon Y/n, we're leavin"

"Huh?"

"Get on da scooter, we don't need dis place, we'll find somewhere betta"

Noticing Scout's behavior while growing up will likely never happen. He practically makes you dependent on him for every decision in your life so you won't really have a chance to notice it. That is if Spy never truly steps in. If Spy was a constant throughout your life then you might be a little more aware of what Scout is doing though still ignorant of the true severity.

"Jer, what's this?"

"Woah! Hold on dere runner, dat ain't nothin ta mess with. Here, hand it over"

"Okay...but why do you have it?"

"Don't worry 'bout it, it's just ta keep us safe"

You will have undying care for your brother. He's the source of 99% of all your joys throughout life and while that did come with the bad you often overlooked that for the good he gave you.

"Can we go to the fair tomorrow? I haven't been to one and it looks so cool!"

"Course pipsqueek! Wouldn't miss a chance ta beat ya in every game imaginable"

"As if!"

That being said, if you ever tried to leave him, your opinion might change. And so would your life status because he is entirely unstable and fully unable to process abandonment for the hundredth time. It'll be a quick but brutal death at the hands of your own brother, likely inflicted through rageful bat swinging or pistol shots. He will feel immediate and immense grief afterward and will likely be unable to live with himself. He only ever wanted to keep you safe. In the end he was the thing that hurt you, killed you.

"Traiter! You- You traiter! How dare you leave me!?! ME! I took care'a you! I raised you! You ungrateful, stupid, worthless ch-..."

'...what have I done"

He was the danger he should have protected you from.

Hiya! I'm writing a fanfic all of my very own at the moment, mostly focused around the concept of SpyDad and how much I love it :)) It's not out yet, but will be posted to AO3 once I'm happy, and I figured might as well do some advertising. So, here's the first lil section, just for a taster. Enjoy!

The Guilt of a Spy - By Real_Globophobe

What happens when a toughened, deadly Mercenary with a knack for backstabbing is haunted by the arrival of a blast from his past?

Chapter One – The Teufort Eight

The Mercenaries of Teufort receive some interruptive news.

When you’re a dangerous killer who gets nothing short of a thrill out of sliding a blade between an enemy’s shoulder blades, you rarely feel guilt. The satisfaction that came with decloaking right behind a distracted Engineer, or an unsuspecting Demoman, or a defenceless Medic... well, there was nothing like it. To know that a single stab was all it would take to bring the man down, it made him slightly giddy. But of course, he would never show it. He had a reputation to uphold, and he had seen one too many times when an accidental slip of the tongue, or an absent-minded facial expression, had led to merciless teasing.

If that ever happened to him, he would have to kill all his teammates and then himself.

Spy loved his job. He may have acted cold and meticulous when it came to his colleagues, but really, he often found himself grinning like an idiot to himself late at night, remembering earlier that day when Soldier had accidentally launched himself off a cliff, or when Pyro set the BLU base on fire before the match had even started (they insisted it was by accident - or at least as much as one can insist when all you can say is “mmmph, phmm, mmmh” - but Spy was certain he had seen them skirting around the edge of the group looking exceptionally shifty), or when Sniper shot his own shadow for the hundredth time.

Yes, Spy’s fellow Mercenaries were the most arrogant, hard-headed, stubborn bunch that you could have the displeasure of meeting, but really – although he would take it to the grave – he loved them all more than nearly anything.

Soldier, Pyro, Demo, Heavy, Engie, Medic, Sniper and Spy. The Teufort Eight. As close as close can be. (As long as you forget the time when Heavy thought someone had touched his beloved Sasha and threatened them all at gunpoint to fess up. Spy still had bruises from that day.) It had been that way for five years, when the group welcomed – with varying levels of enthusiasm – the newly qualified Sniper to the team. Mundy quickly proved himself a worthy ally, picking off a respectable sixteen BLUs in a single round. After that, the RED team truly accepted the Australian as one of their own, and the group was completed. Perfect.

For Spy, life had never been better.

***

“Hello Mercs!” boomed Saxton Hale, standing on at least three medkits to make himself seen. Spy smirked to himself, leaning on the shadowy wall behind him and stealing a swift glance at Engineer and Heavy. The height difference between the two had always amused him, and it became even more obvious in times like this; Heavy was looking at Saxton almost straight ahead, while Engie was noticeably having to crane his neck upwards. It’s the little things in life, thought Spy, fighting to keep from looking amused and turning his attention back to the broad-shouldered Australian.

Hale was one of the most physically interesting people that Spy had ever seen. The man had calves the size of the Merc’s head, biceps that may have been basketballs, a pretty impressive moustache, and (most notably for everyone that met him) chest hair that took the form of Saxton’s homeland.

Spy recalled first joining the team eleven years ago. As was customary, before he was sent out onto the field, he met Hale himself, and for the entirety of the meeting the Frenchman was flitting his eyes between his supplier’s face and his chest.

Spy liked to think that he had gotten over this fascination. He hadn’t. The truth was that the Australia still caught his attention even now. He grimaced, trying fervently to snap himself out of it and hear what the speaker had to say.

“As you know,” yelled Saxton, smiling confidently. “It has been a good few years since we have had an addition to this group. Of course, we at Mann. Co are delighted with the unique uses of the weapons supplied to you over the years – whether it’s been twenty or just five.” Spy noticed Saxton glance at Sniper, grinning warming. Sniper crossed his arms and held Hale’s gaze, not returning the smile but frowning slightly. Waiting for him to get to the point.

Spy bit his lip. Don’t smile.

Saxton looked away, not outwardly miffed.

“But, if I’m gonna be honest with you... it’s gettin' a bit boring.”

Various sounds of indignation and disbelief rang out. Spy even heard one or two guns being taken from their holsters. Saxton must have realised it too, because for the first time that Spy could remember, a flash of what looked like fear flashed across Hale’s face. But he didn’t care. In fact, it was somewhat gratifying to see.

Boring? Boring?! Sixteen people fighting, dying, reviving, fighting, dying, reviving, every single day for years on end... was boring? Spy was in two minds to pull out his own revolver.

“W- Wait! All of you! Just... hear me out!” called Saxton, visibly wobbling on the stack of medkits. A sudden intrusive thought told Spy to cloak up and push him off, and he very nearly laughed. The idea of such a large, muscular man toppling over onto the ground like some overgrown toddler certainly was enticing, but the last thing Spy wanted was for his job to be on the line - no matter how ‘boring’ it was. Hale would probably just brush it off but, in Spy’s opinion, it just wasn’t worth it.

The nose of Soldier’s rocket launcher suddenly came into view, poking above the heads of the people between him and Spy. And pointed right at Saxton’s moustache.

Before Spy had a chance to even consider an appropriate reaction to this newest turn of events, a completely different voice make itself heard over the general chaos of the Mercs.

“Listen up fellas! Let’s give him a chance to explain himself.” Engineer stepped forward, arms folded. He often managed to impress Spy in the way that he could convey both friendliness and hostility simultaneously, and as he approached their weapons supplier, the masked Mercenary smiled to himself, making sure not to drop his cigarette.

Engie stepped up to the base of the medkit pile and turned to face his co-workers, a determined expression on his face. “I say that we hear Saxton out. And if he don’t have a good excuse for calling our job boring...” Engineer smiled a lop-sided smile at Soldier and reached out to grasp his friend’s shoulder. “Well, then I say you got a good chance to practice with that rocket launcher a’ yours.”

I'll be updating when it goes on the air! Have fun :)

The Explosion (Science Party)

Hi again! I have another headcanon that I think i've mentioned before about Dell's scar. Yes, the engineer must have dozens of scars throughout their body, but its specifically the staple of my Engie design, which is the eye scarage

This scar is apart of a whole situation that i've thought about for the past couple days- so uh yippie

also TW violence and semi gore? but it's pretty soft

Medic hadn't been with Engie at the time, but damn did he obsess over that Engineer.

It was just a silly crush sure, but Medic would spend hours at night just THINKING about him. His crystalized blue pupils, His intelligence, and his natural beauty that brought Medic to his knees.

Anybody with the right brain would keep eyes on him, especially in combat. It was the job for a Medic to help his team of course!

He was busy staring at the engineers attacks, basically swooning over his friend, before a semi-mangled scout crawled towards the doctor.

"Doc... please heal me..." He looked to have several broken bones and a series of arrows plunged into his back.

The Medic took one last look at Engie, and began to heal the scout begrudgingly.

"Such a baby..." he muttered, causing Scout to spout out a series of insults at the man who currently held his very own life in his red gloves.

"Oh, beruhige dich, kleiner Späher." He chuckled, taking out one of the arrows from his back rather harshly.

after a minute or two, the scout was good as new. "Thanks Medic!" He called, already dashing back into the heat of battle.

Medic nodded, and turned back to where he was holding post.

Engie was gone? That was strange, Engie wasn't one to move that fast so quickly.

He stepped down from the balcony-like platform he took post at to recover from his past injuries down to where the Engineer had been placing his series of machinery and dispensers.

Faintly, in a nearby building, there was the sound of heavy machinery and yelling of a familiar texan man. Medic followed the sound, through a hallway.

Around a corner he could hear the familiar tone of bullets hitting walls and people alike, and the ear-piercing screech of explosions. He carefully stood at the corner, peering over the wall to see the events of a bloody and aggressive fight.

The other teams rather crazed and drunken enemy demoman, fighting against the doctor's teams Heavy. An enemy Scout was assisting the demoman with a stupid smirk. Those scouts always have that stupid expression..

Engie was working behind his sentry, the machine booming with force and almost pushing the smaller man back. Medic smiled, getting ready to enter the combat...

until a large echoing boom erupted, covering Medic in a white light. He took a moment for the ringing in his ears to stop, and his eyes to regain focus.

"Ow..." The german muttered, holding his head in a daze. He was shoved against a wall after the explosion from that blasted demoman. Obviously he would throw such a strong explosive in such a confined space. Medic wasn't torn up too much in the blast but-

Dell.

Medic shot up from his fallen state, seeing that the demoman sprinted off with scout, and Heavy was already up again. He did look pretty banged up but enough to keep moving.

The explosion must have centered down on the sentry specifically, it not becoming nothing but rubble.

Engie was crumpled on the floor, eyes hazy as his entire right side of his face was covered in blood and open wounds. His goggles had completely shattered at this point.

Medic sprinted towards him, pupils dilated. He slid to the floor, holding up the limp Engineer.

"Engineer, are you alright..?" He had never seen somebody so utterly broken down. He knew the respawn machine would keep him alive, but these wounds couldn't be healed so easily.

Wounds like these need to actually be tended to, or he wouldn't even be able to function, like a constant loop on the brink of death.

A fucking nightmare

Dells eyes-well mainly eye, as the other had been screwed shut at this point, drearily opened.

"Oh...Is that you, Doc?" He smiled weakly, blood streaming from his lip. His stupid smile stayed true, like a lopsided smirk, with no negative motive behind that smile. Just a genuine smile.

"Yes, yes it is me Dell, can you hear me...?" He held the engineer softly, not wanting to tighten his grip to hurt him more.

"your a bit foggy but, yeah..?" His voice slowed, and he winced, trying to touch at his bloody mess of a right face, quickly being stopped by Medics free hand.

"You shouldn't touch it, it'll just make it worse." He tried to slip past the definition of 'it'.

"How bad...Is it?" He chuckled, hacking up some more blood accidentally.

"It's...It's pretty bad Dell but It's going to be okay I promise-" He bit back tears, caressing the others left cheek solemnly.

"Don't shit-talk a shit-talker, Doc." He mustered up the courage to tease the doctor. How could one joke at a time like this?

The Medic let out a depressed giggle, feeling the start of tears streaming down his cheeks.

"Im going to get you back to the infirmary, ja? Your going to feel all better soon, Okay..?" Ludwig carefully picked up the almost corpse of man, who winced in pain.

"Doc..Has anybody told you how pretty you are when you cry like that? You look..." The Engineer smiled, before slowly resting his eyes shut. "...Heavenly..." And that was it from him.

"Engineer? Engie? DELL?!?" Medics eyes melting into tears as he gripped onto the body he held so dearly.

_______

Ludwig basically scrambled to the infirmary, body in hand.

Fuck the Admins rules of staying on field until the round was over.

He stayed in the infirmary for hours, working on Dell's barely breathing body.

When the crew came back to their base, cheering for their win, it only made the Medic angrier.

"Wie soll man in dieser Situation jubeln … Ingenieur, alles wird gut, ich schwöre es." Medic whispered to himself, looking over his coworkers face. He looked so peaceful, still covered in blood. In a different situation, Medic would like this appearance a lot more.

He spent 9 whole hours working on keeping Engie alive.

9 hours spent trying to save him, going through about 3 breakdowns throughout the situation.

Funny enough, he almost called for Engineer to hand him his tweezers. Dell had a tendency to assist Medic every now and then with his experiments.

It felt awfully quiet during the surgery.

_______

Ludwig slept in the infirmary that night in one of the beds. He made sure to scoot his bed near the engineers, just in case he awoke in the night.

He didn't.

His heart rate was normal again, but he was asleep for a few days.

Ludwig was a mess for those few days. He hadn't showered the entire time, he didn't go on missions at all through the week. His hair was unkept and he was barely eating or drinking water. Nobody was there to remind him to keep up with his hygiene after all.

Anybody else who mentioned his appearance would get a bitter syringe in the eye, obviously.

He waited, eyes sparking at any rustle or shift in his friends sleep.

He waited.

and waited.

Waiting for a rather long time, but it only was a week.

For Doctor Ludwig?

It felt like years.

_______

Finally, 7 days after the accident, Engie regained conscious.

Medic was taking a review on his scar when he did, looking over the scar to see if it would open up again and begin to bleed again.The scar seemed to look a bit better after his rampant healing and nonstop care over the week.

Engie let out a soft groan, eyes wincing slightly.

Medic almost let out a choked sob to hear his voice again.

"Dell, are you okay..? Can you hear me well?" He leaned forward slightly, seeing his expression finally move after what felt like forever.

"I sure can Doc, whats going on?" He opened his left eye, squinting at the light. It looked alright, no damage there. His right eye definitely would have some damage, but he hypothesized that he would still have sight through it.

"Oh thank God you're alright, Dell." He smiled, eyes threatening to tear up again. "You got caught in the center of an explosion and you passed out..For seven days." He winced at the amount of time it has been.

"Good lord, seven days? Thats a lot longer then I expected...Are you okay?" He smiled, looking at the disheveled doctor.

"Me? Engie, you were in a coma for a full week and you're asking about me? Thats...Thats not important right now." Medic was flabbergasted at his coworker. Nobody could actually be that humble, right?

"Whats important is your right eye," He paused, searching for the right words. "Can you open it? The right side of your face took the most damage in the explosion. If you can, we can see the damage over your eye and see where to move on from there." He smiled reassuringly, seeing the semi-concerned Engineer.

"Alrighty.." He closed his left eye, before opening both completely. His right pupil was almost completely grey, losing its bright blue to now a dull form. "I can..Kinda see? It's a bit blurry but uh, yeah I can see ya Doc." He smiled, his eyes crinkled in a smile. Medic smiled, tears streaming down he face again. He was okay.

Medic was okay.

A few months after the accident, the two of them got together. It was quite obvious that the Medic had never actually been so crushed when his patient was near death.

Heck, their teams demoman was nearly burnt alive after going through the respawn machine, and Medic did it with a smile on his face. No breakdowns. Nothing.

Engie started using glasses every now and then for reading, and he grew used to his eyesight. He was back to what could be described as normal.

Now he just a grotesque yet interesting conversation piece right on his face. Medic actually liked the scar a bit after they got together. He would trace it carefully with his finger when they slept, softly smiling at the man he held. He was so happy.

so so so happy.

OKAY DONE, THIS TOOK TWO DAYS TO WRITE ON AND OFF YAY! OKAY I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT KIDDO SO UH BYE TOODLES IM GOING TO GO PASS OUT :D

lanius good

Ehh fuck it more FTL content writing that post the other day actually got me back into it for a minute

Let’s talk about the Lanius.

FTL’s base game has 7 different species your crew can belong to, each of which being slightly different statwise and thereby slightly better or worse in certain situations. The most obvious dichotomy is the Engi versus the Mantis, with the former being better at repairing ships but worse at combat, and the latter being the other way around. While there are some oddballs on the list- the Zoltan’s power-generating ability can really mess with your economy if you aren’t paying attention- most of them are simple enough that you can make them work for whatever you need, and you won’t need to accommodate any particular species or another.

(Okay, there’s kind of only 6, really, because you’re basically never seeing the Crystals)

Advanced Edition, however, was added to the game as a free expansion in 2014, and with it came a plethora of features- including, of course, the game’s newest alien species, the Lanius. And boy, are they an intimidating presence. Effectively humanoids made of sharp metal, the Lanius are clearly designed to be fearsome- they’re basically made of knives, their ships are made of knives, and sectors with their presence are filled with dead, hollowed out starships as a result of their mining. Their inherent species abilities are hostile to other forms of life, as they actively drain air from rooms they inhabit, and their not actually needing air to live makes them a terrifying threat as a boarding party.

This, of course, makes them very effective, and it helps that their specific cruisers are designed to add in as much Advanced Edition content as possible. They’ve got Clone Bays, they’ve got Flak (my favourite weapon type bar none), and they’ve got all sorts of fun tricks like Hacking and Mind Control to play around with. Lanius B is a very effective starting ship, as having a teleporter, the aforementioned Mind Control, and two Lanius crew makes destroying ships from the inside trivial provided your captain can shield/dodge lasers for a little bit.

What I’m saying is that the Lanius are fun. It’s hilarious having a ship that effectively can’t be boarded, since your Lanius crew don’t need oxygen and therefore you can just not have around. Opposing Lanius are pretty rare, unless you go specifically to Abandoned Sectors, so you’re not often having to face the downsides of fighting them, and their upsides are unique in a way no other species in the game can manage.

A lot of the game’s flavour regarding the Lanius is spent detailing how weird they are compared to every other species. They’re the only ones who by default cannot communicate with other species, resulting in deadly miscommunications as they try to scrap a ship that is, in fact, still inhabited. There’s hints that this ancient race has some customs regarding noninterference, but it’s pretty clear that not that many of them actually adhere to it, or at the very least, that they’re doing so deliberately.

And yet, the Lanius are weirdly cute?

youtube

The noise they make while repairing is simply sublime, and I could listen to those phat beats for hours on end. The lack of ability to communicate can be pretty funny sometimes, particularly with translator mishaps- I can’t find the specific event, but I know there’s a surrender trigger against a Lanius ship where they apparently send a video frantically waving while the translator just goes “stop stop stop stop stop” and if you went and killed them anyway after that then there’s something deeply wrong with you. As intimidating as they look, and as odd as they are, it’s pretty clear that the Lanius are just another people of the galaxy, trying to make it by in their own ways.

I dunno, man. FTL does a lot with a little, seeing as its presentation is in mini pixel art and in dialogue boxes. It takes good writing to make minimalism work so well, and they really did it.

…okay but for real listen to those sick tunes that are Lanius repairs

Rogue's relationships with the rest of the mercs

Scout:

Almost like a brother-sister relationship. They're always goofing off together, joking around, getting on Spy's nerves. Just being the chaotic force of the team. Scout constantly convinces Rogue to play baseball with him, especially after seeing that they both use bats as a weapon (albeit Rogue's has nails driven through it).

Scout: "Aw man, sick bat! Say, you ever actually played baseball? If not I could teach ya. Though, you should probably use a different bat. I'll let ya borrow one of mine!"

Soldier:

He's definitely sort of a weird uncle figure to her. She's always giggling at his ridiculous antics, and he's surprisingly protective of her. Although at the same time he's always impressed by her ability to fend for herself, and fight off men larger than her despite her size.

Soldier: "Hell yeah, look at her go! Kicking ass just like a true American! She makes me proud!"

Pyro:

Oh my goodness. These two. Rogue almost always puts on a tough attitude, especially around the other guys. But around Pyro? They're probably the only person Rogue will be a softie towards. They're constantly seen platonically hugging and cuddling, and Pyro loves when Rogue covers their mask in stickers. They always return the favor by covering her face. Once they come off she treasures them. The others will always comment on how adorable the two are, usually followed by Rogue telling them to fuck off.

Rogue: "If anything were to ever happen to Pyro, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself."

Pyro: (灬º‿º灬)

Demoman:

Their relationship is quite explosive, to say the least. When Demo isn't trying to get Rogue to try some of his alcohol (which always results in Rogue gagging and choking from the bitterness) they're always assisting each other on the battlefield. Mostly in the form of Rogue catapultng Demo's bombs at enemies with her slingshot. They always share a laugh when a BLU team member is blown to bits.

Demoman: "Boom, right in the head! Look at all that blood! Yer aim is getting better and better, lassie!"

Heavy:

Just looking at these two stand next to each other is almost laughable. With Heavy being incredibly larger than everyone and Rogue being incredibly smaller, he practically dwarfs her. He's extremely gentle with her though, and takes care of her in sort of a protective big brother kind of way. Whenever the team is lounging around, she's often either cuddled into him or resting her legs in his lap. He doesn't mind it. He's also let her beat him in arm wrestling numerous times. She knows he lets her win, but she still take the opportunity to boast to the other mercs about it.

Heavy: "Little girl is so strong. You've beaten me again."

Rogue: 😏😏😏

Engineer:

He's also like an uncle figure to her. But unlike Soldier, he's more of the chill laid-back uncle that she can go to for advice. And she often does. Sometimes when she's bored she'll go into his workshop and talk with him as he plays his guitar or she helps out with whatever he's working on. Even if that help is something as simple as just handing him tools, he appreciates it. He appreciates the company too.

Engie: "Alright darlin', can you hand me the screwdriver?"

Rogue: "Uh... which one?"

Engie: "The Phillips."

Rogue: "Uh..."

Engie: "The pointy one."

Rogue: "Oh! Yeah sure I knew that."

Medic:

Like with Engie, Rogue will often go into the infirmary to talk with Medic as he works (she also makes sure he takes a break once in a while and doesn't overwork himself). He also does what he can to help with her depression once that's out in the open, prescribing her any antidepressants he can get his hands on. Though when she first joined the team and he gave her her first annual exam, he was astounded by how many fractures and injuries he'd found that were just left to sloppily heal on their own. The sadistic doctor was actually kind of worried for her, though honestly impressed by her high pain tolerance.

Medic: "Goodness fräulein, this is the fifth fracture I've found! How are you even walking?"

Rogue: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sniper:

Despite having quite good aim from using a slingshot for years, Rogue was quite inexperienced with guns (not including when she killed her old caretaker at the end of her fighting days). So naturally, Sniper took it upon himself to teach her. He educates her on different types of guns in order to find what works best for her, and the two partake in target practice together. Of course, the two end up bonding during the lessons. She tells him all about her life in the ring, and he tells her about what life was like back in Australia. One thing that Rogue wasn't anticipating, however, was how strong the recoil of a gun can be. She was so unprepared she was thrown right onto her ass in shock.

Sniper: "Crikey! You alright there, mate?"

Rogue: "Yeah I'm fine... fuck, what was that?!"

Sniper: "Recoil, love. Did you not know guns did that?"

Rogue: "...no..."

Spy:

Although she and Spy certainly took the longest to warm up to each other, the two are as close as can be now. Once they finally accepted each other, Spy took her under his wing as his apprentice. He helps her perfect her thieving skills and educates her on how to take tough situations in stride. She really looks up to him, and they almost have a father-daughter relationship. And of course, when her depression comes to light, he's her biggest means of support. He's always available when she needs him and he does whatever he can for her.

Spy: "You make me so proud, mon cheri. You've captured the intel once again, our training has really paid off. Great job."

Rogue: "Thanks dad."

Spy: "Excuse me, what was that?"

Rogue: "....nothing."

Bonus!

Miss Pauling:

Miss Pauling is literally the first woman Rogue has ever been close to in her life. Throughout her entire childhood she's been surrounded by creepy older men, and even though things are different now with the mercs... they're still men. There are just some things Rogue isn't quite comfortable talking to them about. But with Miss Pauling, going to her for help with things like clothes shopping and feminine problems almost feels natural. Hell, there were so many things Rogue didn't even know about periods until Miss Pauling explained them to her. And of course Miss Pauling takes the time out of her busy work day as often as she can to make sure Rogue is stocked up on sanitary items, and whatever else she needs. Rogue is always extremely greatful for it. And while part of her sees Miss Pauling as sort of a mother figure...another part sort of has a crush on her. Yeah, Miss Pauling was pretty much Rogue's bisexual awakening. But she hasn't said anything about it, one because it would just be awkward and two because she knows Scout also likes her, and she doesn't wanna stand in his way (but little does either of them know, Miss Pauling is a lesbian 👀)

Miss Pauling: "Rogue, honey, you don't even know what a pad is? Or a tampon??? What- what do you do when you get your period?"

Rogue: "What, you mean that weird time of the month that I start bleeding? I just... live with it I guess? Maybe put toilet paper in my panties if it gets too messy-"

Miss Pauling: "Rogue. Come with me, I'll get you stocked up on the things you need. And we'll get you some new panties too."

Rogue: "But don't you have things to do?"

Miss Pauling: "This is more important. You shouldn't have to suffer every month just because no one ever properly taught you about periods. I'll help you out."

Saxton Hale:

Rogue thought he was obnoxious upon first meeting him. Called him a "corporate clown" to the other mercs. But, she had to earn his approval in order to join the team, so Miss Pauling insisted that she be on her best behavior around him. But, even when on her best behavior her spunkiness still shined through, and Saxton noticed it real quick. However, that spunkiness only raised his interest. He commented on how he, "Hadn't met such a scrappy sheila in a long time." Truth be told, she reminded him a lot of Maggie, but he wasn't about to mention it. During their one on one meeting, he demanded that she punch him in the face to test her strength. After a short hesitation, she did so. Saxton was impressed that she actually hit him hard enough to dislocate his jaw and bust his lip, and gave her the job on the spot with the promise that she keep up that energy (and learn to use some weapons, of course). Miss Pauling and the mercs were shocked to see the two of them come back with Saxton's arm slung around Rogue's shoulders and his face dripping with blood, and the two of them laughing with each other. She took back what she said about him being a corporate clown. Although, the only thing she still doesn't like about him is how he treats Miss Pauling, considering how close she is with her. She has a mind to call him out on it, but Miss Pauling begs her not to.

Saxton: "Let's see just how strong a little gal like you can really be. Go on, hit me RIGHT here! Hard as ya can!"

Rogue: "Uh...Mr. Hale, I really don't-"

Saxton: "Oh don't wuss out on me girly, you want this job or not?!"

Crack.

Rogue: "Oh my god- Mr. Hale! I am so-"

Saxton: "Now that's what I'm talking about! You pack a hard punch for such a cute little thing!"

Rogue: "You're bleeding..."

Saxton: "Consider yourself hired!"

Administrator:

Doesn't trust her. Not one bit. She only respects her because she has to, and even then her "respect" is so shallow that anyone could see right through it. She hates the way she berates, overworks, and oftentimes gaslights Miss Pauling, and the fact that even all the other mercs seem to be intimidated by her concerns her greatly. She knows something's going on with her behind the scenes, and she's determined to figure out what. In the few times she actually saw her in person, Rogue definitely smarted off to her more than once, despite Miss Pauling practically begging her to watch it. The Administrator, however, almost finds it adorable. Almost. She kind of views Rogue as a bratty child. A bratty child with skill and talent that is essential for her team. And for that, she lets the sassiness slide...for now. Luckily these two don't butt heads often though, considering the Administrator is rarely seen.

Administrator, over the loud loudspeaker: "Well done, let's see some more."

Rogue, mumbling: "Bite me..."
