Summary
So Ghost had done it slowly, carefully, testing each footstep like a cat in the snow— Soap would get a mumbled story about his family, a reference to a different life, one of the layers of fabric he wore pulled off nearly casually, a story about a scar, his eyes, his face, the scarred expanse of his body when he was too tired to tug on a shirt and too hypervigilant to not still be tracking every miniscule movement of MacTavish’s hands.
a mock interrogation goes wrong and soap and ghost confront each other on their very different perspectives of ghost’s face
(alternatively— 4 times mactavish calls ghost pretty, and one time he believes him)

Summary
“Besides,” Diver pointed out eventually, as Roach tugged at the straps of his vest to adjust them, before pulling the balaclava over his head, “we all know why the captain’s really in a mood.”
“Hm?”
“Oh— oh, yeah, course,” Chemo replied, pulling his own vest over his head— “Ghost’s not here yet, is he? Been two weeks, he must be going into withdrawals.”

Summary
“Are you making fun of me?”
MacTavish’s eyebrows shot up, surprised.
“What?”
“Why would I spend Christmas at yours?” Ghost asked, half between bewildered and angry; one final curl of smoke escaped his mouth before he plucked the cigarette from between his lips and stubbed it out viciously on the railing, pulling the mask down and hiding anything else of his expression.
ghost has been off all december, and soap has absolutely no clue why. he invites ghost to spend christmas with him instead

Summary
“No.”
“Simon—”
“No,” he insisted, more frantic, because he’d tolerate the other nightmares, he’d tolerate the memories, but he wouldn’t tolerate the way his brain would mix what little good he had in his life with monsters he had left dead— with renewed energy, he shoved back, twisting his wrists frantically in MacTavish’s grip as his eyes spilled over, heat rolling to his temples—

Summary
He was falling back. His glasses were knocked back from the momentum, leaving everything suddenly bright— the skies were nothing but white, and everything seemed to stretch into a forever where all Ghost could see, hear, reach, touch, was nothing but the rush of air and the quiet, nearly calm thump of his heart in his ears.
A landmine goes off in the middle of the mission, throwing everything into disarray. They find each other, covered in blood

Summary
“Bloody hilarious,” MacTavish deadpanned, hand squeezing around the back of his neck— “now c’mere.”
“What?”
“I’m cold,” MacTavish replied, and he let go of Ghost to leave him cold as he unzipped his sleeping bag, “come here.”

Summary
“What happened?”
Something rather curious happened. Perhaps at the sudden volume, several people looked at him with wide eyes— Royce and Meat quickly brought their hands to their mouths as if to hush him before they remembered what they was doing, Diver put a hand to her mouth, and Scarecrow quickly looked over to the tired sofa in the middle of the rec room.
Despite the fact Ghost’s not an official member of the 141, it doesn’t mean he’s not at home with his team :3

Summary
Ghost knew secrets, so he let MacTavish keep them. He didn’t need to know every little detail, didn’t need to know how he ended up with a decorative plate from Iceland or what was up with all the pillows in his house and on his sofa or if that was his cup, a lumpy thing made of clay in the back of the cupboard that had been painstakingly been painted years before and was chipping at the edges.
To Ghost’s chagrin, there was nothing in the field manual about wanting to know someone— nothing about wanting to live outside of the military, and nothing at all about being human with anyone else at all.

Summary
“Where is everyone?”
“When,” MacTavish began, and he dropped the cup on the bedside table, an old chipping thing, “were you planning to tell me the bite got infected?”
Ghost stiffened, hands curling tighter into fists.
Keeping things from each other never ends well. It all comes to a head in an empty safehouse.

Summary
Instead, then, he sat still, watching the sunlight shift and dim through half lidded eyes. No one came in, no one spoke to him; the blood before him, where the soldiers had bled, was just turning scarlet at the edges, the individual droplets oxidising maroon.
Ghost makes a bad call, and a mission ends badly. Only he forgets he has someone still waiting for him at home base

Summary
Another glance back into the station and onto the display screens confirmed it: their train, Crewe to Edinburgh, remained stubbornly delayed due to the small storm that had hit practically the moment they had landed at Credenhill; they’d been lucky to get from Hereford to Crewe as it was, but their next train was more than an hour away. The rain was still coming down, the entire station humid and miserable with it— all the adult-sized umbrellas had already been bought, leaving Ghost to look through the kids’ umbrellas. He seemed generally unsatisfied, and MacTavish shifted foot to foot, until—
“Alright, I’m getting this one.”
A small storm hits, trapping them together in Crewe with nothing but each other’s company and— it’s a date. i started writing it and read it back over and they’re on a date. i don’t kmow how either

Summary
Two drowning soldiers wasn’t better than one, Ghost reminded himself, staring at the water where he had fallen— twenty seconds— the only thing worse than cold water shock was jumping in unprepared, blind— twenty five— they were trained to survive drowning, to swim in all conditions, and MacTavish was the best of the best; Ghost had to trust that he would be okay, that—
Nearly drowning on a mission, and dealing with the aftermath <3

Summary
“What is it?” Ghost complained, but did so, arms behind his back at attention. MacTavish glanced at his own jacket, tugging off the military cross on his chest. Ghost, following the movement, immediately caught on—
“Absolutely not.”
“Stand still, lieutenant.”
Ghost hasn’t received any medals since his legal death— MacTavish decides to remedy that.

Summary
“Need my hair cut,” Ghost blurted out into the quiet, not looking at him.
“Why?”
“It’s too long.”
MacTavish huffed a laugh.
“Worked that part out, lieutenant. Why all of a sudden?”
It’s the phantom sensation of hands in his hair, he thinks, or the inability to get and feel clean— Ghost decides he needs his hair off, and there’s one person he trusts for it.

Summary
It wasn’t exactly a sob that he heard— it was too small, too thin. It wasn’t quite a sigh, either— whatever it was, it had him pausing mid-sentence.
“Riley,” he said again, “open the door.”
“Can’t.”
“What d’you mean? Ghost!”
Psychosomatic pain, a loss of humanity, thick scars over skin. It’s difficult to be gentle when you only recognise your hands when they’re wrapped around a pistol.

Summary
Ghost half shrugged, leaning against the door frame. The corridor behind him was dark, and he almost blended into it, his eyes reflecting the light.
“Spit it out, lieutenant.”
“Can— I sleep here, sir?”
MacTavish blinked.
“What?”
Ghost having trouble sleeping is an open secret; he shows up to MacTavish’s office while working late to try and catch some sleep :)

Summary
He hadn’t even heard the door open, but Ghost had one foot in the kitchen, and was watching him carefully, eyes flickering between him and the shaking knife between them.
It was only a cooking knife. He had it aloft, the blade catching the light.
“Captain?” Ghost asked, voice bordering on cautious as he looked up at him.
Memories are keeping MacTavish up, and he finds himself in the base kitchen with Ghost late at night.

Summary
“Nothin’ to talk about?” He echoed, disbelieving. “That why Major Richards was just in my office, because there’s nothing to talk about?”
“What’d he say?” Ghost asked, crossing his arms. A muscle in MacTavish’s jaw twitched.
“That I needed a better lead for my mutt,” he replied, voice thick with derision. Ghost twitched, hands curling into fists, and MacTavish caught it; a moment passed, and he held out the waterbottle again.
Ghost gets in a fight with several other officers, and MacTavish comes finds him to confront him

Summary
“You look like a fuckin’ idiot with those on indoors, you know.”
“You were the one complaining!”
“You were the one that looked sick!”
“Captain,” Ghost sighed, and Soap imagined that behind the glasses, he was rolling his eyes. “I’m not sick. And if I was, I wouldn’t’ve waited two hours before wheels up to say something about it.”
Ghost pushes himself a little too far, and passes out in MacTavish’s office after a mission successfully completed. MacTavish has a soft spot for him, and helps him get better.
