Devil With A Blue Dress

Devil With A Blue Dress acts as a Prequel by Amp to Team Fortress 2, in which a number of the team members are recruited by a mysterious woman in blue. In the process, we get an in-depth look in the featured team members, including the recruitor. A fair warning: the fic has not been updated for about half a year, but about two-thirds of it is complete and each chapter does well as a stand-alone story. Edit: The Spy chapter is now up. And TF 2 Chan Rejoyced!

Enjoy the fic here.
