We're on the Same Team by Millenia Marik

  • Recommended by Never Knew
  • Summary: The unlikely story of a forming friendship between a Red Sniper and Spy on a team where no one expects to live long enough to sustain one. A bit of fluff, humor and drama. Feel-good reading. Rated M for language, violence, and suggestive/sensitive themes.
  • Comments: This story and its sequel are completed, but the third story in the series hasn't been updated in over a year.


Ceasefire, by DingDongFootball

  • Recommended by Miss Duckie
  • Summary: Also called "The Indiana Jones" by the creator. It's about the BLU Scout and the RED Sniper. It's very beautifully written, especially the dialogue and emotions of the characters. It's a long read, but well worth it.

After the mercenaries were done fighting against each other, the BLU Spy and RED Sniper end up as detectives in San Francisco, investigating the scene of a crime with the RED Scout as the victim. As they uncover the crime's story, the two find out more than expected about the members of both teams.


Sniper's Lovely Lady and it's prequel Cara Mia Ciao by mia6363

  • Recommended by Helcat13
  • Summary: A twist on the usual TF2/Portal crossover.
  • Pairings: RED Sniper/ GLaDOS
  • Comments: Very sweet and romantic for a man inadvertently wooing a machine. It's even funny if you consider who is voicing who.

In the Moment After, by Jupiter Green

Lean on Me, by Jupiter Green

  • Summary: The BLU Sniper keeps a close eye on everything on the battlefield. When he witnesses an event involving his BLU Scout and the RED Spy during a cease fire, the Sniper may have more to deal with than a rogue RED Spy.

The Ninth Class, by Cheese222

  • Recommended by Irecco
  • Comments: TF2. I came across this fanfiction thinking it was terrible. I was VERY wrong! Since it's title is terribly misleading, this story hasn't gotten even 1% of the attention I think it deserves! Slight violence, Spy-centric, no pairings (so far). Story still in progress!

Darker Shades of BLU by D.Muffin

  • Recommended by Wild Okapi
  • Summary: A murderous demolitions expert; a technological virtuoso bent on revenge; a shell-shocked war mongrel with onset paranoid schizophrenia... And that was before BLU recruited them. Classified backgrounds hardly remain buried forever.

Reunion by Cat Bountry

  • Recommended by Wild Okapi
  • Summary: It's been eight years since RED team split up. Everyone's moved on and made new lives for themselves, but not everyone's got along as well as the rest and events that have transpired over those eight years boil to the surface. Even the best reunions can bring out the worst revelations.

Machinimas/Animations

Ignis Solus

Spy and Pyro by Andrew Kepple (here)


Law-Abiding Engineer, by TrueOneMoreUser

  • Recommended by Meg The Maggot
  • Comments: The TF2 characters animated into the trailer for Law Abiding Citizen.

Dance Fortress 2, by thejazzman9475

  • Recommended by Shroomy
  • Comments: Hands down one of the best fan-made animations this troper has ever seen. The animation is fluid and detailed, and the personalities of the various characters are captured perfectly in their movements. You'll end up watching several times to catch everything you missed.

Meet the Pyro, by avemagnadude

  • Recommended by Quanyails
  • Comments: A fan-made version of the missing "Meet the Team" movies that isn't a rickroll or two-frame flipbook? Especially with custom animation and a twist on the speculation of the Pyro's identity? Excellent!


Beat It in TF2 by lass1234

  • Recommended by Sgt Frog 1
  • Comments: Possibly inspired by the special Halloween-only taunt that mimics the famous Thriller dance, this is an extremely well-animated video of all 18 characters (9 from RED, 9 from BLU) dancing to Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Watch it and be amazed!

TF2: Sentry Sabotage! by CorridorDigital

  • Recommended by Dreamy_Hunter
  • Comments: What Team Fortress 2 might look like as a live-action short. Has exceptionally well-done effects and nice music, to boot.


Heavy's Revelation by Mister Mild

  • Recommended by MJ Trooper
  • Summary: Tired of the seemingly puny stature of his team, the Heavy decides to go solo. The Spy tries to convince him not to leave, but the Heavy decides that he no longer needs them.

Heavy Birthday (Part 1)(Part 2) by Creativity Zone

  • Recommended by Weird Kev 27
  • Summary:It's the Heavy's Birthday and he gets a very special gift. Better Than It Sounds.
