Anyone wanna hear my HCs on why Spy and Medic are Married (with a capital M)?
sound of my heart breaking into a million pieces because i already made a post almost exactly like this (slash jay i love seeing people talk about the ending bit)
GENTLE SURGERY NATION RISE UP
it does clear up a lot, thank you
the idea of medic and spy being successful in running away without much difficulty appeals to me for several different reasons, but the one i want to talk about right now is how much it alters a good portion of the series’s plot, alongside your own headcanons and ideas. I’m assuming they’re going to be away from their team for far longer that the original since they plan to flee the state (iirc), so I’m curious as to what ends up bringing them back in your AU.
Also more time away from red means more time they get to spend with just each other as their company guhhffdfhghyjuhjg,,
Well the idea is that with Medic and Spy being away longer equals more time the Hustler and Blu Engineer would have more time spreading chaos while they are gone.
Meaning when they do come back there is more destruction already done to Teufort and the general area. It also makes it so the team is more mad/conflicted about their return.
What bothered about Hoovys version is that pacing wise it made seem like after Spy and Medics attempt to run away and escaping Green they immediately decided to turn back and were full support of Red team. To me it felt like they were just saying that they hated Red Team and no longer wanted to be apart of it 2 minutes ago. It was such a sudden turn around imo.
Where was the change of heart? What happened for them to suddenly want to go back? I get escaping Green team but what triggered them to go "let's go back to Red team they need us" it more like someone hit a switch for Medics and Spy's thoughts to change instead of a proper realization.
So in my version Spy and Medic will have a moment of reflection where during their journey they realize how much they need the team as much as the team needs them. Because while they enjoy being on their own they do still (while they don't want to admit it) see the other Mercs as important to them. Like MedicSpy is the main relationship but their platonic ones are just as special. No matter how stubborn Medic and Spy wanna be they do care about the others even if they don't show it.
Medic especially loves Engi, Heavy, and Demo (again platonic/ qpr) he's just really mad at them the moment. Spy is more aloof to the rest of the team but has respect for a lot of their skills. He was probably close with only Medic but had gotten close with Sniper too. Spy is also really pissed at the rest of the team for not appreciating Medic and making him upset.
They both pretend to not care but they do. Spy well because it's part of the job to conceal their feelings. Medic pretends to only care because they are his experiments but has trouble masking and it's pretty obvious that he is attached to everyone on Red.
It still follows the plot points of Mag Nine but as much more slower paced as it is more character driven/ relationship based. Kinda like a DLC with an alternate route that leads to the same ending.
I hope that clears things up
Does the blu engineer still go about with feeling undervalued by his team by still destroying his own team’s respawn then murder most of them right after in this au as well? Or are you giving him a new story as well? I feel like destroying respawn wouldn’t be the same walk in the park it was in ht’s version of respawn crystals that were WAY less well-guarded and hidden than you’d expect something so much value and importance to be, especially considering it’s been fueling the battle between red and blu that has been going on for over 2000 years. I feel like the latter would make much more sense.
Blu Engie still has the same story and feelings of being undervalued.
He does kill most of his team but I liked the idea of one of them being killed by the Hustler and at least 2 try to team up with Red because both of them lost everything.
It would be actually in a way, easier for Blu Engi to get to respawn as in my headcanon is that Blu Engi isn't a clone but another Conagher kinda like Emesis Blue.
So with the idea that it was the Conaghers that developed respawn for the Mann Bros in the first place, Engi would have access to Blu respawn for management and maintenance. He could easily get to it without drawing attention and full clearance. Then from there rig it and set it to explode.
He'd just have to set it up before he kills his teammates so they don't respawn. I'd probably need to rewatch the Blu team scenes for clarification.
Again I'm not rewriting the entirety of the mag nine from the beginning as the fic starts right when Spy decides that he and Medic should runaway so things that already happened with Blu before are going to be referenced but not directly shown.
Blu Engi primary is there to serve as a parallel to Red Medic and probably won't show up for a long time in the fic. His plot line will cross over more with Reds and Medics than in the original climax but other than that no real change.
The focus is on Medic and Spy so I haven't thought too much about it beyond that. I also haven't written a lot of the actual HT events as most of the fic is about the running away with sprinkles of switching between Red and Blu perspectives. Like every once in awhile we check in on how the teams are doing with Hustler and Engi running amuck. It won't be until the end of the fic do we see the plots come together.
WHY DIDN’T I SEE THIS EARLIER GAAAH!!!!!!
Gentle Surgery/ Invasive Surgery headcanons (for my fic/au)
-this is headcanons that only work for my self-indulgent story so if you disagree that's fair
-Because the world of tf2 is filled with ridiculous nonsense it's hard to tell what parts of their history is actually canonical (especially if the source is soldier). so for the sake of my sanity I'm assuming that everything that any history related to Australia/Austrilumn is real but it coincides with our own history. To me having the whole of tf2 being silly takes away from the Mercs behavior being outlandish if the rest of the world is just like that. So I'm making it so in my version of tf2 anything that is not related to Australia/ Gravel Wars/ New Zealand/ Mercs is relatively normal.
-bc the world is also filled with funny coincidences I thought it would be neat if Spy and Medic had met before Red/Blu. Maybe as kids? For good old fashioned childhood friends to coworkers to lovers?
-I mean Germany and France are close enough they share a border it could happen. And Stuttgart looks close enough (can you tell I'm not form Europe)
-So maybe Spy's dad had a business commute to Germany but had to bring little spy with him. Like he couldn't leave him alone and didn't have family that could babysit. But his father is really strict and lil Spy gets bored of whatever meeting his dad is in. So his dad drops him off at a playground that's across the street.
-At the playground is a lil medic whose most likely dissecting an animal he just killed like worm/snake or something
-and it's just like one of those moments where you go on vacation or to another country as a kid and you see another kid whose playing by themselves and you go up to them and start playing together dispite a bit of a language/culture barrier you start getting along. But then you have to leave and you get sad because you will most likely never see them again.
-Kinda like the Bluey episode Camping but I was thinking more like how in Kingdom Hearts Lea and Ventus where friends briefly and then meet agian years later in KH 3.
-like a moment of happenstance that brings them together
-I'd imagine young spy would be nervous or terrified of lil medic at first
-like the boy has blood stains on his hands brought some rusty teasers and is pulling out the guts of a snake in a playground. We all know he's the unhinged kid who lets his morbid curiosity get him into trouble.
- At some point he probably had other kids who tired to befriend him who also were very curious and poked at dead animals with a stick "woah is it dead" but lil Medic was way beyond that and was trying to reanimate a dead frog with broken electrical wires, nails, lemon juice and a hairpin. He was a bit too much for the other kids. or was afraid of him due to rumors of his family being a bunch of manic demon doctors (probably true). And probably also bullied. So he was left alone. Which was fine by him because he could just focus on his experiments or practice his craft without any distractions. But he still craved someone to show off his accomplishments too.
-Spy didn't know what to do as he never really played or done much typical kid stuff he just didn't want to wait in a business office all day with his dad. He just wanted to be outside and maybe sit on a swing for a while. He just had a very strict schedule/ upbringing. He's used to having that "we got to teach them young so they can be successful adults" life style but to the extent that he doesn't have time to have fun. He's like 9 and he's already learned 4 languages, 2 instruments, how to be a gentleman, is working on riding horses, being mannerly, and reading at the college level etc. And since he's an only child and he's homeschooled he doesn't know any kids his age.
-so spy just kinda is curious on what ever medic is doing and just quietly observing
-he's just standing there looking at how Intricately he's dissecting a snake. He's a mixed of disgusted/ amazed by the whole thing. And slowly he starts to approach him to the point where he's kneeled down next to him silently observing.
-lil medic isn't even bothered by this at all. He's in-fact holding in enthusiasm that someone else is curious about his work. He's also super happy that Spy is being quiet and not distributing him while he focuses.
-but then he asks Spy to pass the scalpel and from there they start talking
(A lil snippet of an early draft of the fic)
-then once Medic finishes his work he starts showing him around to a point where he excitedly grabs his hand and starts dragging him along
-just like Spy gets to relax and actually act like a kid and Medic has Someone to hang out with and help rein him in when he's going too far
-but then Spy has to leave :(
-and lil med is like nooo.....please don't
-and they get separated *cries*
-then years later they are Mercs
-and before Spy moves into base he is studying the profiles of his new colleagues and can you imagine how surprised he is to not only Scout but like questing why the doctor looks familiar. Because their real first meeting was approximately 40 years ago and was for about a day, it's a bit of a blurry memory. Also o think Spy tires to repress parts of his past so he wouldn't remember well.
-However Medic, seeing the medical files for all the Mercs would be like "holy shit it's him- my totally not first crush/first friend"
Kinda like how in Ace Attorney Phoenix clearly remembers the class trial and how Miles inspired him to be a lawyer and it's this big key memory for him but Miles on the other hand barely remembers that day.
-The main difference is that Spy acts aloof and in denial of remembering Medic for the sake of protecting his identity.
-until they start talking in private then it becomes more clear that both remember each other
-there's something so poetic about the two untrustworthy people on the team finding love and trust in each other. It also feels so soft and sweet that people who you thought you lost in your life (even if they only knew each other for days) come back together years later closer than ever not allowing anyone to separate them again.
-they are like 2 snakes coiled together to the point where you can't tell which tail belongs to which snake
-have you seen the way Medic talks the Blu spy in his fridge? Like he clearly didn't just keep him around just for experiments and testing his limits of immortality. He also kept him alive for the sake of company/ someone to talk to when bored. I'd like to think that when he's done with Blu Spy experimenting on him and finally gets to the "later" part it's when he starts rekindling with his Spy.
Also how can the Blu team have a Blu Spy if he's can't respawn if he's technically alive? So he has to (by the force of Admin) kill Blu Spy so Blu Team can have a full team and not be at the disadvantage.
-While It rarely happens in game, Ubered Spies are really cool and fun and it would be neat to see more of. Like Medic showing faith and trust that this is indeed his Spy because he knows him so well <3
-also with the James Bond inspiration it's really fun to the Spy and the Mad Scientist who are usually rivals in media work together
-While Medic and Solly or Heavy works really well as a strategy in game him and Spy would be perfect for a contract espionage mission.
-Like can you imagine? Spy sneaking around a stabbing while Medic disposes the bodies (and keeps the organs for himself) and destroys any remaining evidence. The fukn Hitman shenanigans these 2 could have omg.
-Like Pigeons were used for delivering messages and spy missions all the time! It's perfect!
-they even exchange ways to remove blood stains with each other
-and like love gossiping and sharing their expensive wines/ beers with each other
-you know if anyone is allowed in the smoking room it's Medic.
-And while Medic loves working with Engineer on experiments together in the lab I can easily see him getting distracted by whatever Engi Is working on or by the noise of his work tools. Unless they are collaborating on one project together it's hard for Medic to work on his own thing simultaneously.
-So Medic prefers Spys company as he is quiet so it makes for ideal parallel play.
Medic's doves: if anyone but Medic steps foot in this infirmary we will claw their eyes out and feast on their insides
Spy: *walks in*
Medic's doves: ok we will make an exception because he looks very polite
thinking about spy and medic waltzing to spy's old records of edith piaf's songs that he keeps in his smoking room
oh my god i love these….. the way your brain works is so cool (is that weird to say because i have no idea how else to put it)
