okay im kinda curious that if all of the mercs would meet each other in the clockwork sunset au or like they all have their own little stories that occasionally they would encounter each for a chitchat?im soooo normal about this au(<- literally obsessed with the au)

they ARE going to all meet up! all three storylines become connected in a few chapters—though a few of the characters unfortunately take a bit of a side seat simply because nine main characters was a bit too much, lol.
pyro, of course, is the ferryman and therefore will show up intermittently whenever someone dies to sort of provide this one-on-one moment with a new dynamic to help the story slow down for a sec during chaos, but he won’t really be part of the group.
and engineer will take a similar role to his one in the comics—being important and involved in the story, but only intersecting with the main team instead of coming with them on their murder quest (because he does have a casino to run). and also other reasons.
and i know you didn’t ask but admin and pauling are also going to come back into the main story in a little bit—there is another side to that very messy breakup that becomes relevant, plus another bonus surprise important character that… i mean, can honestly probably be guessed, there’s only one main character from the tf2 comics that’s missing, huh. i just like to pretend to be secretive
anyway yeah lots of moving pieces and it should all come together neatly! the majority of the story will involve pretty much the entire merc team, all working together for a common goal but for very different reasons and also all having their own little subplots like eyelander, scout’s parents, etc
thank u for asking i desperately love this au too
