~Not now honey I have a headache

Aug 27, 2023 05:19

Wrote another TF2 fic! It's shorter though, it mostly came from a single mental image but I wanted to expand on it a little. Sometimes when I play as Medic I just try to heal every Heavy I see even if they're on the other team and I get killed for it, haha. I just lose track! It's instinct! It's always an accident but still.

Anyway, I liked the image of an enemy Heavy giving back a Medic like :/ your medic tried to heal me the dope, and then I wanted to sort of build on that for a bit. I had to get into the deal with RED and BLU a bit in the process... well there's no in-game explanation for RED or BLU so it gets handled in fandom in different ways. Clones, copies, different people who look the same, different people who DON'T look the same, doppelgangers... it goes on and on. I've never really decided on any one explanation for it because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and it almost never comes up for my silly jokes anyway. I went with doppelgangers for this fic though and then sort of got caught up on the identity questions that would raise.

Title: I’m me (I’m the only me)
Words: 5.5 K
Rating: PG-13 (for casual talk of blood and gore)
Fandom: Team Fortress 2
Pairings: Heavy/Medic
Warnings: Some brief blink-and-you’ll-miss-it mentions of bdsm

Summary: A chance encounter with a wounded BLU Medic gives RED Heavy and Medic a bit of an identity crisis.

Not too much though, although I probably could have gone in deeper. Mostly Medic did not want to cooperate. |D He is not interested in what it means to kill constant inexplicable mirrors of yourself! He just wants the FRESH ORGANS AND MURDER

As a result the two of them are mostly bickering in this which I enjoyed a lot. It's married old couple bickering of two people who have been together for a long time, it's kind of cute in its own way I think. I enjoyed Medic eyerolling at Heavy's protectiveness at points just like I KNOW okay, I'm very touched but I'm tired of talking about this nonsense :|. Heavy is trying to talk about philosophy and you're not being very receptive at all!

Heavy just has a lot of feelings. He refers to Medic as his a lot more than Medic does in return in my other fic! Part of that was just for clarity to try and keep straight whether he's talking about BLU or RED Medic, but part of it is he just does that, he thinks of Medic as his way more often than Medic thinks the opposite. It just amuses me, haha.

The mentions of bdsm are not necessary but whatever man they'd totally be into it, you can't stop me.
