SO THIS ROADRAT VIKING AU
I’ve been…entertaining ideas, and I’m just super in love with the concept of mercenary Junkrat being thrown into an arranged union-contract-type thing with warrior clan leader Roadhog to secure a piece of land or something
And good lord it wouldn’t be historically accurate at all and admittedly I don’t know nearly enough about Vikings as I should but can you imagine
They’re pretty much complete strangers, and Jamie’s largely clanless because he’s a lone mercenary and maybe most of his people were wiped out by invading armies but he’s got some agency through birthright over this crucial piece of land that would be strategic in politics/battle, and so Mako’s clan negotiates to get hold of it and Jamie grudgingly complies because it’s pretty much the only way to secure his survival
And he’s super suspicious of Mako, who is this ruthless warrior with his peculiar hooked weapon and merciless reputation in battle, and so Jamie is really shocked when Mako is unbelievably kind and patient with him and gives him his space on their first night together. And Mako can tell that Jamie is really unsure about this arrangement and that he’s uncomfortable, so Mako offers him enough furs and weapons and money to go as far away as he desires if he wanted to just disappear to somewhere safe where he wouldn’t be hunted down, no questions asked, nothing expected in return other than not selling the clan out to the enemy
But Jamie stays and decides to give it a try, and like MAYBE AFTER A FEW WEEKS HE HAS A SUDDEN PANIC FREAK OUT AND JUST RUNS AWAY ANYWAY??
And Mako is heartbroken because it seemed like it was going to work out, he was really starting to get attached to that scrappy little merc, but he just wants to ensure that Jamie is safe and that he left on his own accord and wasn’t kidnapped or threatened by anyone, so he sends one of his best hunters out to track him.
At first Jamie thinks he’s going to get killed, and he’s ready to put up one hell of a fight when the hunter finds him, like he thinks Mako sent the guy after him to kill him and bring his head back, but instead the hunter gives him a horse and some weapons that Mako forged himself, some food, and enough money to get him to the next port, and then just leaves him after it’s established that Jamie’s okay
So a week later, Jamie just shows back up with whatever he was able to hunt down with the weapons Mako gave him and thEY LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER or something idk
