Demoman/Sniper is a slash pairing in the Team Fortress 2 fandom between the Demoman and the Sniper.

Canon

Demoman and Sniper have relatively few interactions in canon. In the comic Blood in the Water, Sniper incapacitates Demoman with his family moonshine. Later, Demoman carries Sniper out of a flooding New Zealand as the latter bleeds out.

Fandom

This pairing has had some shippers since at least 2012. Following the 2021 release of Requiem for a Pizza: Part 2, an SFM which features the Demoman/Sniper pairing, the popularity of the pairing increased considerably. As that film showcases a BLU Demoman and a RED Sniper, many works inspired by it have followed suit and featured the cross-faction pairing.

As of November 2023, there are 143 works on AO3 and 2 works on FanFiction.Net featuring this pairing. Fanart is easy to find on sites like Tumblr. The pairing has been eligible for at least one rarepair event within the TF2 fandom.[1]
