Heavy/Spy, known mostly as Spoovy, is a rarepair within Team Fortress 2 fandom. The ship is between The Heavy and The Spy, two of the game's nine playable mercenaries and main characters.

Common Tropes

  • Size Difference: Heavy is both taller and bigger than Spy. Their hands especially are drastically different sizes, due to the cartoon-y nature of their designs.
  • Fanworks may have them bond over both knowing Russian, as Spy likely knows the language while the other mercs do not.
  • Some fanworks may end with Heavy/Medic/Spy, adding Medic to their relationship.

Fan Fic

  • Watchful Eye of the Matroshyka (2020), They're both far from home, in a foreign country where they only care about fending for themselves. Exams are a cross-cultural barrier, however, and if that's what it takes to get them together, c'est la vie. College AU.
  • Perestroika by Oddport (2015), An off-handed comment about Heavy's reading habits leads to Spy finding out that the Russian has an unexpected intellectual side. The discovery... intrigues him. Ends with Heavy/Medic/Spy.
  • Logorrhea by Lightspeed (2015), Explicit, Heavy and Spy share a language, and in the face of his lover’s linguistic mastery and the poetry that flows from his lips, Spy finds himself completely undone, mere putty in the giant’s hands.
