Only a Shot Lung (Spy x Engineer)

vstf2:

Title: Only a Shot Lung

Author: VarietyShow 

Notes: Complete sap, with a touch of playing around with Spy headcanons. Pre-established relationship. (I think it’s safe to say I like seeing Spy with a certain level of human vulnerability, if only for a change.) No warnings aside from violence/injuries at the beginning.

—-

Watching Engineer cough and splutter up blood, Spy cursed himself. If he hadn’t taken a misstep, running into the RED Pyro, then the RED Sniper would be dead by now.

If the RED Sniper had been dead, then Engineer wouldn’t have gotten shot, not through one of his lungs, and not at all, for that matter.

I wrote some fluff.

Convergent/Divergent

vstf2:

A while back I said to myself “well, if the teams are clones, what happens when they have to work together during MvM? And what about all these theories flying about the place regarding the BLU Engineer?” So here’s a (possibly oneshot) fanfic about RED Sniper and RED Engineer’s friendship in that context.

Title: Convergent/Divergent

Author: VarietyShow (or VS when I’m feeling fancy)

Notes: Genfic, set during MvM, no warnings.

Thanks to everybody who beta read for me.

The RED Soldier and BLU Soldier had to be having their worst argument to date when Sniper trudged into the kitchen, didn’t they? Must’ve been something contentious too, with the volume they were going at it. It was so bad he almost trudged right on out again. Without his morning coffee, even.

But he unwittingly tuned in to the shouting for a moment, and what he heard stopped him in his tracks.

Reblogging to add this to my fanfic tag. (Yay, organisation.) In addition, I put a fair amount of effort into this and I like to think it paid off. Do give it a read.

Put ‘em up, Sputnik!

novicefortress2:

A quite overdue fanfic for ZiGraves’ birthday. Not quite what you asked for, but still contains both fighting and the Heavy. Would have waited to get a beta, but really, it’s late enough already. (Also not quite as pulp novel flavoured as the title implies.)

And also, this marks the end of my unexplained hiatus on this blog. I said I’d keep my 300th post for a fic, and here we are.

Behold! Men have been made to fight for my own personal amusement. This is a good thing.

Hehehe.

On The Clock

novicefortress2:

The first TF2 fic I’ve finished so far. Crossfaction Sniper x Spy smut. I have some strong opinions on the pairing, but rather than do anything else, I decided to put into use the advice that I should write what I’d prefer to see. This is the end result.

Thanks a bunch to Glue, fondofit and Cyan for beta reading!

Also, this is old news to anyone who follows me on my TF2 tumblr, but I wrote a fic! Reblogging here for posterity/to put it in my fanfic tag like everything else. As well as to  prove I did finish what I’d been ranting about writing.

[Mobsterswitch Fic] Slow News Day

trexila:

varietyshow:

An incredibly belated birthday present for Glueeee. Sorry for being a butt and taking so long, but I hope you like this and it helps cheer you up some, you big sweetheart. Too frazzled to come up with anything else nice to say, so I hope the fic does the talking for me!

A summary for everyone else: A reporter visits the station looking for a hot new story, but Fin and Trace wind him up with a load of nonsense. (Apologies to Rex for borrowing Intrepid Reporter without asking!)

Feltcops? A gift for Glue?! Guest starring Intrepid Reporter?!!

well you have 3 reasons to read this fic, two more if you like Fin and Trace as detectives, so what are you waiting for?

Well, thanks for recommending it. ;) 

Sensible Time of the Day Reblog: did you know this is my second longest fic? I thought it was the longest, and I’d broke my own record, but apparently Trouble With a Capital T is 100 words longer. Anyway, everyone please take a look and tell me what you think! I love feedback, and much desire constructive criticism.

[MSPA Fic] Skeleton Brush

Coming right up (after a bit of delay…), one (1) nasty fanfic involving Dame getting her own back on Droog with the skeleton brush/whip, just like you asked for. (It ended up longer than I intended, whoops.)

And in case it isn’t obvious enough to other readers, this is the torturetimes option so just mind that, I guess. Also I couldn’t figure out a way to properly make the scenario make sense, but I did my best for request’s sake. So this is kind of… The torture equivalent of a PWP fic, as horrible as that sounds.

[Mobsterswitch fic] Blindfold

die/crowbar, mobsterswitched or regular, kink(s): sensory deprivation, hair-pulling”

I decided I might as well make this the Green Badges‘ first follower fanfic, and full length… I am so proud of myself right now. /weeps single crystalline tear of joy

So without further ado, here is some (kind of fluffy I guess?) smut starring Dian “Die” Carpenter and Jesse “Crowbar” Halley.

[MSPA fic] Not Quite Imaginary

(And all and sundry learn that while I may fill all my requests, it may be half a year later before it happens.)

I wanted to do something unusual regarding PI and the Imaginary world from Problem Sleuth in this one (it’s not a PS/Intermission crossover for once)… I leave it to you to decide whether or not that was successful. Does actually contain ghosts. (Sort of.)
