the chest holster. Is that. Is that even a thing? How many holsters does one man need to have? (Jack Dalton, probably: “All of them.”)

MacGyver: Brothers AU

Hey here's just a little world-building for my AU where the original and reboot MacGyvers are brothers.

MacGyver:

They both go by their last name. 1985 hates his first name more because that's how it was in the shows.

2016 can have the first name Angus because he actually gets called that in the show. 1985's first name is Stacey because that's what it was in the pilot episode script.

1985 is the older brother, of course. They have an age gap of about 5-8 years.

Modern setting but OG MacGyver dresses like it's the 80s and also just has a bunch of 80s stuff.

Murdoc:

Pretty much everything that happened in the first reboot episode with Helman is canon in this AU, except Helman is named Murdoc, he's the age he was in the original, and it was his sister, Ashton, who was killed not his wife.

Dennis took Murdoc's favorite alter ego name and also goes by Murdoc now just to piss him off.

Jack Dalton:

Also brothers.

Their father didn't know 1985 Jack was born. Both of them were named after their father and unknowingly given the same name.

They didn't know each other existed until later in life.

Reboot Jack doesn't really like original Jack.

The other characters:

I'm not adding original Bozer or reboot Penny because they were both barely in the shows. I think reboot Bozer and original Penny would be friends though, because they are both interested in show business.

I'm not adding Patricia Thornton because I'm still mad that they rebooted Pete to be a villain while making Matt Webber into a hero.

Matty and Pete are friends and sometimes share tips on how to keep their respective MacGyvers from getting hurt or dying (they are both struggling).

Other stuff:

It is set in the modern setting. I'm definitely more of an OG MacGyver fan but I wasn't around in the 80s so modern setting is just easier for me.

Phoenix is both a think tank and also a secret government agency. Both the MacGyvers work in different buildings but sometimes are called in to help each other out.

I don't really know reboot MacGyver that well so if any of this seems way out of character feel free to let me know and I'll change it. Also, feel free to add any ideas! If anyone wants to use this AU feel free! You don't need to follow this list at all!
