Summary
Before New Dream, before meeting others, before many revelations, Six was alone.
For seven years.
Or the little short stories of in between that fight with Six and Mono and when they meet up again seven years later.
(Heavily inspired by Fervidlizard32’s The Seven Year Nightmare. One of best fics I’ve ever read, that I just couldn’t get the thoughts out of my head about the seven years that Six spent on her own - with Sokage, of course - and so I decided to write it.)

Summary
Things have been good— besides some lingering regret over not killing Shroud and the careful consolidating of corporatizing Mecha Man with dispatch work, Robert’s been alright. Hell, he even bought a bed recently.
Things spiral pretty quickly when he’s a victim of some sort of bizarro mugging and gets turned into a cat. Surprisingly, it doesn’t even rank in the top ten worst experiences of his life.

Summary
**Bare with me, this is my first fanfic writing**
She never expected to see him again—especially not behind a skull mask, leading elite operations for Task Force 141. Hardened by years apart and shaped by her own battles, the female protagonist(name is still in the works) joins the task force with one goal: to prove herself. But fate has other plans.
Among the chaos of missions and military life, she finds herself face-to-face with Simon "Ghost" Riley, the childhood friend she thought she'd lost forever. Their reunion is anything but simple. Ghost is colder now, buried beneath layers of trauma and silence. Yet something in her presence stirs the man beneath the mask.
As she earns her place among legends like Captain Price and Soap, she and Simon begin to rediscover the bond they once shared. Between gunfire and quiet moments, laughter returns—tentative, rare, and healing. And with it, the possibility of something deeper.
In this emotionally driven, slow-burn fanfic, two souls scarred by war find each other again—not just as comrades, but as something more.

Summary
“Well, howdy there, friends!” Higgs shouted.
Sam whipped his head around and almost lost his balance again. Higgs was standing on the damp sand a dozen or so meters away from them. He looked exactly like he had on APAS’s Beach: shirtless, hair down, tattooed, and very much human. There was no replica of Amelie’s quipu around his neck, and he appeared unarmed, but otherwise he made an oddly familiar sight.
“You’re coming back with us,” Sam informed him, closing the distance between them in a few confident strides.
“Awww, I knew my prince would come and rescue me,” Higgs swooned, clasping his hands to his chest.
“You’re…not putting up a fight?” Lou asked uncertainly as Sam snatched one of Higgs’s wrists in a firm grip.
“Why would I, sugar?” he asked, unreactive to Sam unclipping his strand from his belt and unfurling its length. “Nothin’ for me here.”
Or; Sam and Higgs learn how to coexist in a doomed world with no exit

Summary
J has had an accomplished career. She was such a good jobber. If the slain were stocks, J was the entire exchange. And exchange she did, countless lives and even entire planets for the promise that her team would survive intact, physically at least, until...until...until...
It was not the most pleasant of deals, and no one on her team was really happy with it, or each other, but it kept them all alive, together, and with some semblance of themselves. It endured until that Uzi creature somehow tricked N and eliminated J, then corrupted V as well. A major setback, but if J just redoubled her efforts to add value, surely she could negotiate for her teammates, or at least for herself, that she might stay on the winning team. There was no chance they could beat Cyn.Except they did. J made the safest possible bet and lost. There's no more Cyn, no more purpose, no one who even pretends to want her around. There's nothing left for her, except a ship to repair. But there's nowhere to take the ship to. In the flickering light of a torch, there's at long last a choice.

Summary
He was positive he could take on an intruder as long as they were not some huge body builder.
The door knob twisted and he was running out of time. He quickly spotted the discarded Converse and grabbed a shoe. He held the sneaker up in the air like a bat. He was ready to shoe this trespasser in the head if that was a thing. He wasn’t sure if it was. Shit!
The door flung open and a young man strolled out without a care in the world, humming some song to himself, oblivious to his surroundings – no situational awareness to be found. His brown hair was wet and messy with strands askew.
And… he was completely naked. One hundred percent bare. Peter’s eyes drifted down the pale torso that was covered in moles with some beads of water still trickling down his rib cage towards the vee of his narrowed waist.
His eyes could not help but follow the trail towards his crotch to check out… “oh my fucking God. Who are you?” The other voice unfortunately sliced through his ogling session causing his eyes to refocus back to the young man’s face who now finally appeared startled by a stranger standing in front of him.
Oh yeah, he was supposed to be confronting an intruder; not checking him out
