Line #27 FanFic/ReunionTF2


1	[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/860701 Reunion]] is a Team Fortress 2 fan fiction written by FandomVIP Cat Bountry. It tells the story of the RED team having a big reunion at Engineer's house after 8 years. More of a drama than a comedy, it focuses on the relationships between the characters, romantic and otherwise, and how they have changed since the end of the war. Not everyone went on to lead successful lives after the war. Notably, Pyro is a hobo in New York City and Soldier has an abusive and manipulative brother controlling his life.

3	The sequel, [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/860824 Afterwards Book 1]] and [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/860866 Book 2]], continues the story, focusing more on the Soldier's brother, Johnny, and the team trying to rescue Pyro from his life of squalor. It's noticeably {{Darker And Edgier}} than Reunion, and both are at least the length of short novels.

8	* TheCameo: [[spoiler: Scout appears in the very last chapter of Afterwards, having been absent for the whole story, calling over the phone during the fight with Johnny.]]
9	* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Engineer, Heavy, and Soldier against Johnny. While Johnny starts with the upper hand through cowardice, the tables swiftly turn as the three former mercs beat him to a bloody pulp for everything he did.]]

12	* FrenchJerk: The Spy, of course.
13	* FunetikAksent: Everyone to some extent, with exceptions of Soldier [[spoiler:and Pyro]].
14	* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: Engineer believes Johnny can be reasoned with and if he really hated his brother he would be fine with giving custody over to him.

23	* MadDoctor: While never shown, a few remarks by other characters suggest that Medic still is this.
