Day 1: Vacation | Relaxation | Holiday

"Thinkin' it might be a bit late for ya to still be up here,"The smooth sound of the Engineer’s voice broke the Scout’s own thoughts, head twisting around to glace behind him where the shorter man stood on not-so steady legs.“Oh yeah? Thought you were too busy messing with ya gizmos to notice.” Despite his words, Engineer didn’t hear any kind of real bitterness behind them, yet sighed anyway. Slowly, he made his way towards the younger man, metal sheets that made up the roof creaked under his weight as he moved, stopping right behind the Scout before carefully crouching to sit behind him. “You… may have been right about the whole relaxin’ thing - we don’t get much time like this often.” Scout couldn't help but grin up at him, head leaning back to rest on his shoulder as he felt the Engineer's arms hug him closer.“Ha, I told ya I was right.”

Day 3: Party | Music | Games

This took me SO long to make and render, but god was it worth it. I was almost afraid that this wasn't going to render how I wanted it to but I think it still came out as well as I had hoped it would! A little game day, Mann vs Machine style!

[just-mebs]

The fact that Engineer and Scout use the same pistol - that they are the only 2 that use it in game, period - will never not make me wanna pull my hair out

[just-mebs]

Engiescout hcs king?

They fuck nasty style

[just-mebs]

One of these days I will be brave enough to make a sfm of engineer and scout actually kissing, but today is not the day

[just-mebs]

Wait this is so 🥺💕💕 I don't deserve this but thank you so much it's SO cute! I'm like metaphorically hanging this on my fridge for everyone to see ❤️❤️

Look ma I finally made something for my own event 😭

Day 3: Cross Faction / Same Faction

Edit: Remade it

[just-mebs]

Thank you for asking @hanktalkin (og post)

So, I generally head canon that Engineer is about 10 or so years older than Scout is, which is fine because in canon that would make Engineer 37 when Scout is 27. However, thinking about them when they are a bit younger I think introduces some goofiness especially when adding a Soulmate AU to the mix.

I was thinking about the particular set up where when you turn 16, you are able to write on your arm and whatever you write shows up on your soulmate's arm. So you have Scout; a 16 year old sophomore/junior in high school, and Engineer; a 26 year old Engineering major most likely working on his first (of many) PhD.

Engineer, who hasn't gotten any response from his soulmate in a decade, being shocked when one day writing starts showing up on his arm. Or maybe, because he hasn't gotten a response in a decade, he just assumed he didn't have a soulmate so he'd been writing Engineering notes on his own arm one day to Scout's own surprise.

What I'm saying is that Scout finds out that his soulmate is really smart like really fast, so he of course uses this to his advantage. I'm just imagining Scout writing Engie notes during exams. Asking him how to solve radicals, or how to find x, or what the the quadratic formula is and??? Engineer in the middle of a high level physics lecture having to show his work on how to multiply "4 x 25" because Scout is clueless and doesn't know how and is failing his math class for the 3rd time.

Just imagining Engie's classmates, who he probably told years before that he did not have a soulmate, looking at his arm seeing basic level math and not believing him when he swears it's for his soulmate. Scout who is suddenly passing all his math tests having to scrub his arm clean every morning because Engineer decided to stay up all night working on an invention so he just has foreign equations scrawled over him (Engineer not being able to break the habit of using his skin for notes even though he now has a soulmate who can see them).

Also for a bit of angst: I can see a situation where Engineer maybe messes something up due to Scout writing something in a poor place at a poor time. Engineer deciding his life was better before Scout/having a soulmate is too much of a distraction so he cuts off his arm and attaches the gunslinger - sufficiently severing his connection to Scout. Him quickly regretting it once its done (not realizing that Scout had grown so much on him), but not being able to undo it just being sad over the fact that he will never meet his soulmate now (+ Scout now having a faint scar on his arm/seeing how Engineer stops responding/this boy got more abandonment issues now than he did before).

Then fast forward a decade when they both just happen to work for Mann Co. and one of them (or someone else entirely) piecing it together (cue more angst especially if they were getting close before they realized it and then Scout getting mad at him for abandoning him a decade before.

Anyway yeah that was the idea

[just-mebs]

They literally make me so so violent I’m literally crying and screaming and throwing stuff looking at them

Don't repost my shit

[just-mebs]

Them ;v; why do they make me cry I'm literally so soft for them I hate it here

[just-mebs]

Two versions of this one because I couldn't pick between them uwu This was supposed to be suggestive (it kinda still is?) but idk the bottom one is more soft imo lol

[just-mebs]

idk sometimes I just like thinking about scout tf2 wearing just his socks and his boyfriend's shirt (that is just a bit too big on him ofc) while sitting on said boyfriend's lap kissing him and being showered with affection, okay?

[just-mebs]

Scout becomes friends with Pyro so he can get closer to Engie but then a week later he's completely forgotten about it and him and Pyro are like super best friends. It's like 2 months later when he goes into Engie's workshop to look for Pyro and he sees Engineer shirtless and he's like 🧍‍♂️😳 "oh yeah I was like trying to get some of that" akdjakdka

[just-mebs]

Any Engie ship that consists of whoever going into Engie's workshop and asking about his projects just because they like to hear how passionate Engie talks about his work is simply a God send and I love them very much
