  2. Summary

    From Over the Sea is a Waxer/Boil fic inspired by a Charles Causley poem. It's a canon-compliant, post-Order-66 story, so it's a bit of a tear-jerker.

    Three Long Summers Went By is a remix of that fic, reusing most of Chapter 1 and turning it into a much happier ending. It is not necessary to read From Over the Sea first.

    Summary

    Simon Ghost Riley can’t be touched. He thinks, sometimes, that if someone ever touches his bare skin, he might shatter into a thousand shards of glass, the same way that if someone ever says a kind word to him beyond "job well done, Ghost", he might break in such a way that he’ll never, ever be able to put himself back together again. He thinks, regularly, that he might be very, very fucked up.

    Until Soap comes along. Soap, who has never been scared of him. Soap, who took one look at Ghost and his bulk and his defences and decided not to take them as the warning they are. Soap, who treats him like he’s normal. Soap, who came out of that fucking tunnel with a new scar on his temple and some chest candy to go with it, cocksure and confident, sharper and snarkier than ever.

    Can Ghost find the intimacy he so desperately craves and learn to love again? Will Soap help him unlock a part of himself he thought was dead forever?

    Spoiler alert: the answer is "yes".

    Summary

    ‘We may have won the battle, but I fear the war with winter is just beginning.’

    The aftermath of war is no laughing matter. Those who died must be honoured, those who are wounded must be healed, and those who remain need food and clothing, peace and sanctuary. With Thorin's life hanging in the balance, it is up to Bilbo and the rest of the Company to rule the rag-tag remnants of Erebor in his place.

    Then there is the matter of the gold...

    Can Bilbo save both king and kingdom, or is Erebor destined to fall deeper into ruin?

    Summary

    Soap was doing something strange to him. Testing his limits, stepping into forbidden territory.

    Making him remember that he used to be something more than a ghost.

    Someone more.

    Summary

    Ghost, under threat of another psychological evaluation from both his CO and therapist, has been forced to partake in a penpal programme with another soldier in order to "practise empathy" and "re-establish human connection." He hates it until he doesn't.

    MacTavish willingly volunteers for the SAS's new penpal programme because what the hell, it could be fun. And when his penpal ends up being adorably emotionally constipated, well, that certainly doesn't hurt.

    Summary

    “No.”

    “I wasn’t asking, Ghost.”

    He shifted in his place. Can never get used to Price’s voice in his head.

    “You know I work best alone. All he’s gonna do is get in the way.”

    Price’s mustache twitched, as if he’s fighting a smile. Bastard is about to drop something to win the entire argument, Ghost already knows.

    “He’s a revenant. Strong one too.”

    Fucking figures. Still, he could argue he doesn’t need any support-

    “Intel is rigged with explosives. And the Sergeant just so happens to be explosion-proof.”

    … Fuck.

     

    ------

    Taskforce 141 is the only squad composed of exclusively revenants, individuals who gain powers after dying once. Ghost is the revered revenant Lieutenant, who's powers are unknown to most and are only referred to as "Limbo".

    Ghost works alone. Until a certain Scot shows up.
