Summary
He couldn't remember the last time touch meant love to him. It must've been some time when he was little, when his mother's hands were still tender and he looked less like his father. As he grew taller and bulkier, and his words grew defensive and harsh, she began to stare straight through him. The last gentle touch he'd ever taken without shivering beneath it was her thin fingers dragging over the bruises mottling his arms, never apologizing but always looking sorry.
His body waited for Soap to grab, to pull, to dig his nails in just because he could — but he didn't. He roamed over Ghost's skin like it was fragile, never lingering on the remnants of a past he'd never spoken of. It was too much. Too Johnny. He wished his shoulders would stop trembling just for a moment so he could feel that sweetness without a lingering sense of dread in his bones.
or: A new recruit triggers a flashback by pinning Ghost down during a sparring match and ignoring his tap out. Panicked, Ghost dislocates his own shoulder to free himself, and Soap has to pick up the pieces while Ghost confronts feelings from his past he thought he'd buried.

Simon never had had a relationship that he knew of, he was very closed off and Joseph had just learned at school how bad it was for Omegas to be unmated and without kids when they got older. Uncle Simon clearly needed help. So, during Simon's next leave, Joseph would set him up on a date. And for that, he enlisted the help of his new best friend—Daniel MacTavish.

Summary
Stationed at opposite ends of the world, all they can do is steal a few moments for themselves. Nothing more than their voice over the phone and the hope that they're doing alright. It's not enough, but it has to be.

Summary
After a mission gone wrong leaves Simon “Ghost” Riley deaf in one ear and Johnny “Soap” MacTavish with a permanent leg injury, both men are forced into early retirement. Soap uses his pension to buy a crumbling house on the edge of a quiet town, determined to make something of it, even if the place looks like it should’ve come with a tetanus shot.
Ghost shows up with a duffel bag and his usual scowl, moving into the guest room to help with renovations. Between faulty wiring, leaking pipes, and a fridge that seems to growl at two a.m., the two of them fall into a new rhythm of grocery runs, hardware store trips, and late-night fixes. The banter is sharp, the silences softer than either expected, and somewhere between the broken walls and peeling paint, they begin to rebuild more than just the house.
It’s a story about finding purpose when the battlefield is gone, about healing old wounds in the comfort of shared domestic chaos, and about realizing that sometimes “home” isn’t a place, it’s each other.

Summary
“Will you?” Ghost asked, as MacTavish stepped out onto the pavement, blinking at nothing. He looked around, and his eyes fell on a young couple; the boy had an arm around the girl’s waist, and they were both laughing as he tugged them along.
“Yeah,” he replied, for no other reason than the alcohol. “Yeah, probably.”
“Alright,” Ghost grinned, like it was that easy. “Train’s inbound at six tomorrow evening.”

Thought I would die a lonely man (in endless night) by GreyHaven
Fandoms: Call of Duty (Video Games)

Summary
Soap didn't die in the tunnel that day. Eight years since he last saw Soap, Ghost's life is in ruins. All he has is a piece of paper with an address on it. He knows where he's going, he just isn't sure of the welcome when he gets there.
A fix it fic for the ending of MWIII (2023) but I hurt Ghost some more to do it. Sorry, buddy, but it was worth it. A tale of healing, growth, acceptance and love.

Summary
Morning coffee with Price. Evening food runs with Gaz. Ghost at night. Like clockwork. Like… they’d planned it.
“You’re takin’ shifts,” Soap said, staring.
Price didn’t look up. “Aye.”
“You—what?”
“Making sure you’re following orders.” He flicked the paper to a new page, as if this was the most mundane admission in the world. “And that you’ve got what you need.”

Post-mission downtime turns into a slow unravelling of boundaries, as Soap recovers from a busted knee, and fails to keep his mouth shut. Or: the Poly141 fic I've been promising (re: threatening)Series

Summary
“Ghost?”
“Soap.” Ghost’s voice was a low buzz, gravelly with static. In the absolute silence of the snow-covered forest, it sounded both deafeningly loud and intimately quiet.
“What’s your favourite season?” Soap asked.

Bombs, Babies, and Bullets by HigherMagic for Niceven (Nicevensilace)

Summary
For a long time, the 141 has been exclusively birds.
This isn’t by design; a lot of those that choose to go spec ops are birds, or particularly well-suited breeds of dogs and cats, the occasional mustelid and, for one particular mission where they’d had to house a foreign unit, a very inconvenient bull. Usually, though, it’s animals that are good in small groups as well as large ones, groups that can form flocks and packs and colonies, respectively.
They are a flock, mismatched and odd though they are, and Ghost has always assumed that, should they welcome a fourth into their unit, for a trial run or otherwise, their prime candidates would be other birds.

Summary
John “Soap” MacTavish never meant to come out as bisexual on national television – it just slipped out during a post-match interview. Overnight, his rugby stats take a backseat to accusations of queerbaiting, invasive questions, and endless speculation.
Enter Kyle “Gaz” Garrick, an old mate from school, now in the military and schemer extraordinaire. His solution? A fake boyfriend. Someone private, unreachable by the press.
Someone like his lieutenant – Simon “Ghost” Riley. Luckily, Ghost owes Gaz a favour. A big one.
It’s just meant to be a few quiet photos, some social media buzz, a bit of smoke to keep the wolves at bay. But as the season wears on and the fake relationship starts bleeding into quiet nights, real texts, and barely-there touches… Soap starts to wish it were real. And Ghost – Ghost stops knowing where the act ends and something real begins.
What starts as a cover story slowly becomes something neither of them know how to fake anymore.

Step One: Lie. Step Two: Regret Everything. by Neomorise
Fandoms: Call of Duty (Video Games)
13 Jul 2025

Summary
Simon "Ghost" Riley is adjusting to civilian life after being honourably discharged, recovering from nerve damage, and barely leaving the house. He didn’t mean to lie. He just wanted Price to stop hovering like an overprotective mum. So when asked if he was seeing anyone, Ghost blurts out a lie to shut him up: he has a boyfriend. Problem solved – until Price invites said imaginary boyfriend to Christmas dinner.
When Gaz hears about it, he immediately calls bullshit. And then decides to step in to help.
Enter John "Soap" MacTavish: Gaz’s childhood friend, chaos incarnate, and a civilian working in private security who loves a good disaster. When Gaz asks for help, Soap agrees immediately. Pretending to be someone’s boyfriend for a holiday event? Sign him up.
Ghost expects awkward dinners and limited contact. What he gets is text messages at midnight, inside jokes, Soap knowing exactly how to help without being asked, and a growing problem: this was never supposed to feel real.

Summary
“—and I don’t know how it got there, either,” he continued, like he hadn’t heard him, running an agitated hand over the mask, “no one outside the squad knows where my office is, I didn’t see anyone come in or leave— it was there when I got back from the mission, so I don’t know how long it’s been there—”
“Riley—” he cut in again, kneading at the furrow in his eyebrow—
or— one man’s attempt to give his prickly lieutenant a gift
