hi. Just wondering if you were still working on The Merc Household AU because I thinks it’s pretty cool and I’d love to make fanart or fic of it
Hallo! Thank you so much for asking! It's been quite a while ^^ All my ideas for TMH are currently in the drafts or being remastered, so I don't have much with me right now! I do however have these little crumbs I've been meaning to share for a while now:
TMH takes place during the very early 2000s, some couple of years after the events of TF2 [comicwise, but I'm sure its the same gamewise too!]
-
Scout often sneaks out to go play arcade games really far away, he even made a friend named Ness [i.e. my own TF2 OC named Scavenger, who is a tenth class!] who had also left Teufort. Recently, Scout's been spending less time at the mercs' shared house, and the others have started to take notice...
-
Out of all the ex-mercs, Demo is the richest due to his multiple jobs and family inheritance. He likes treating his friends most of the time [and by treating, I mean buying them overly expensive stuff and taking them out to fancy restaurants to have luxurious food]. The only reason he hasn't taken everyone on a vacation is because the others literally begged him to not take them [and also because Sniper has horrible homesickness].
-
Pyro is amazing with animals, especially domesticated animals and pets, and they dream of opening a shelter for all the abandoned pets they spot every other week. Engineer has to constantly convince them to not bring in every stray they see.
-
Due to the house being slightly small, some of the mercs share bedrooms and bunkbeds. Sniper and Medic share a room together, and Scout shares a bunkbed with Pyro. Demo and Soldier share a room as well, while the rest [Spy, Heavy, Engineer] have their own quarters... mostly because Spy hates sharing, Heavy has a tendancy to [very loudly] speak Russian in his sleep, and Engineer has deemed the basement/garage his 'room'.
-
Soldier has stirred up the most fights in the neighbourhood, with Scout coming at a close second. It often takes a very sober Demo and an exhausted Engie to get him to stop threatening a slightly irritated neighbour with manslaughter.
-
The mercs once bought a stack of aprons for Medic, an apron for each day of the week, with different words on each one, as a way of naming him the house chef. Medic both adores and loathes them. Sniper personally loves the 'Kiss The Chef' apron that Medic wears on Mondays.
-
Scout's mother often comes by to visit Scout and Spy on weekends, and always brings food for their 'very sane housemates'. She enjoys conversing with Engie and Heavy [which definitely does not make Spy jealous].
I've only got this much for now, but I hope to be able to write more soon! Studies have been hard on me shhhdgd
Anyhoo, thank you very much again for the ask [and for reminding me about TMH because I'd completely forgotten about it 😭]. I'm also overjoyed to hear your aspiration to make art or a fic, it really warms my heart to know people actually like my content 🥹🎀 I'll see ya'll later!
