Okay bc I’m doing something pretty cool soon I thought I’d compile a list of stuff I’d revealed in random little comics and also a general ‘whats what’ of the strike team AU.
What is Strike Team?
It’s an AU thing that spawned right around Uprising. It’s a personal look at the original Strike Team from Overwatch with more of a focus on relationships and comedic little stuff. Think Seinfeld but they’re in the apocalypse.
What about ___ canon thing that completely disrupts this?
Unfortunately my brain has the processing power of an ambitious 3DS and I made a lot of mistakes as far as lining up with canon goes. Suspend disbelief and I’ll be your best friend.
Who’s the tosser with the pencil moustache?
That’s Gerard, Amelie’s dead husband. I put him in for some reason ages ago and it got completely out of control. Now there’s a handful of fancomic Ulysses and Polygons HnD wrote an article about him. Check out my Gerard tag for that treasure trove.
Is there shipping?
R76, Amelie and Gerard and maybe a wink wink nudge nudge at Anahardt
Some headcanons
I write Jack as Jewish and Gerard as trans in this au. There’s no real canon support for these but that’s the skinny here.
