    Summary

    mo leannan (/ˈʎɛn̪ˠan/) — lover, sweetheart; usually masculine.

    So far, Ghost has managed to hide his omegan bearing from everyone. Having a personnel file with more redactions than words certainly helps. At least until he falters thanks to one loud, annoying, downright bloody perfect Scottish alpha.

    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.

    Summary

    “Did you know that more than half the bones in your body are in your hands and feet?” Long, gloved fingers curl around a clenched fist, squeezing until there’s a huff of aggravation, tense jaw clenching, nails forced to bite into palm. “I think about that whenever someone says, “I’m gonna break every bone in your body”.”

    The gloved hand releases, the shadow moves. He has little use for the finer tools, usually, but the slow-crawling pleasure of having time laps up his spine like a lover’s tongue, makes him fluid, comfortable in this tiny room, rank with sweat and fear. He grabs a hammer. Small, not something designed for construction. Precise.

    “I think, ‘Well, that’s ridiculous. It’d be way too much work’.” He forces the hammer into the grip of the fist, so the fingers have no choice but to uncurl, and grabs the pointer and middle with bruising force. Their eyes meet. “But I could break half the bones in your body.”

    A snap. A scream.

    “Without even breaking a sweat.”

    Summary

    Ghost is many things: an enigma who likes to keep people guessing, a force to be reckoned with in the field, and a massive sugar addict.

    But, by no means is the omega sweet.

    Innocently getting breakfast one unassuming morning, Soap is blindsided by his stoic lieutenant getting in his personal space, practically clinging to him. Soap plays it off as a fluke, until Ghost keeps pestering him. Sure, it's far out of character, but Soap thinks he's just reading into things too much.

    When he finds out that Ghost is going into heat, Soap gets to witness just how sweet Ghost really is.

    Summary

    He’s usually the one calling the shots, not Johnny, and the turnaround leaves him feeling belly-up and vulnerable. The guilt that’s simmering low in his stomach doesn’t let itself go unrecognized, however; Ghost is self aware enough to know that he’s at fault this time - that he’s finally gone and fucking done it, pushing too far past the alpha’s tolerance and good graces.

    For the first time since- well. For the first time ever when it comes to Johnny, Ghost doesn’t feel welcome to step any closer. He loiters in the shadows that just kiss the center of the rooftop, moonlight blocked by the nearby watchtower, and he waits.

    It’s a tired sigh that eventually makes its way to his ears, and Ghost grits his teeth against its assault.

    “What do ye want, Ghost?”

    Or,

    Ghost struggles with being an omega, having feelings, and the mortifying ordeal of being known.
