I'm sure sure what to say. This story is interesting, and beautifully-written. But, at times, the lines are excessively long, confusing or weird. And as a whole, it's rather vague and inconclusive. For example: <i>Scout, with his universally youthful braggadocio and swagger doing its best to distract from what he didn’t want seen, had taken as little effort to examine. Sadly, Scout had the ability to support at least a handful of his claims, on the battlefield if nowhere else, which failed to make life any easier for his teammates.</i> Why wouldn't the fact that Scout is a good fighter make life any easier for his teammates? Maybe Spy, who has little patience and tends to work alone, would prefer it if the boy were incompetent. That way Spy could shut him up more easily when Scout starts bragging. But surely the others, who can't turn invisible, like having decent back-up in the war. Then, this other line: <i>And again, as he had that night, back in his room and behind a lock – thankfully, having to fight Pyro for such a door was fast becoming a thing of the past and unlikely to be repeated – shaved his hair back down to a fine stubble, decided his face could wait another day, and altogether dissatisfied with the goings-on of the rest of his teammates, slipped a notebook and pen from the lining of his suitcase and began taking down what information he had gathered over the day.</i> I think it's too long. Maybe you could break it up in two lines? Furthermore, this fic started with clear Spy/Heavy hints, or at the very least with the implication that the story would be about their friendship, then pulled a 180° halfway through. While Sniper/Spy is my OTP, even I have to admit that it was rather out of the blue. All in all, I quite liked this story, and would like you to continue it. If you keep writing, I'll definitely keep reading :) I just think it needs more focus. As it is, it tends to digress too much.
