Summary
“You just can’t stay away from me, can you, June?”
You turn around at the sound of your callsign. Jake “Hangman” Seresin stands behind you, his signature charming grin in place and his biceps flexing as he rests his arms against the end of his pool cue. He’s a walking cologne commercial – tanned and toned and all-too aware of both of those facts – always has been, always will be.
“Somebody has to make sure you don’t fly into a mountain because you’re too distracted by your own reflection in the windshield.”
“Always nice to know you care, sweetheart,” he says, his dimples appearing.
You shake your head, “Shut up, Seresin.”
His eyes track from yours down to your feet, taking their time on the low neckline of your dress and the curve of your waist before returning to your face, his eyebrows lifted in challenge.
“Make me.”
~
You and Hangman have always had a special spark. At first it was hatred, and then it was mutual respect, and then it was friendship, and now...well, you’re not so sure anymore. Especially when you both get called back to Top Gun for a mission that forces you both to reconcile what you really mean to one another.Bookmarked by DesolateHappiness

Summary
Ghost couldn’t remember much of the last few days' events. Much less the past week. It started with the usual inability to sleep, nightmares worsening leading up to a mission with MacTavish. Flashes of Las Almas, the silent moments when he radioed in and didn’t hear Soap’s response, of what it would have been like if he never responded. Trying to find his body in the streets, falling into that shallow grave.
Sometimes his mind got creative, and instead of Vernon’s corpse beside him, it was Johnny. Cold, lifeless eyes staring him down in the dark. Those ones were the worst.Or
Ghost gets sick and Soap is pissed but will do his best to take care of him.

Summary
Silently lurking in the shadows is sort of Ghost's thing, so it's not entirely surprising that he finds himself eavesdropping more often than not. He just never expected to discover that Soap is in love with him.

Summary
Buck doesn’t think that if he were to say, “I’m in a bad place”, that anyone would turn him away. Really, he doesn’t. The 118 has too many good, kind people for that.
But every time he wants to open his mouth, to say something, to reach out to Eddie or Bobby or Hen or Chim, he hears Eddie yelling, “you’re exhausting.”
—you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting, you’re exhausting—
So each day he does his job and he laughs and he jokes and he pretends he’s the care-free goofball he’s always been. And each day he packs away his bruises and his worries, takes them home to his empty loft with its quiet rooms, and licks his wounds in silence.

Summary
“Rule number one of working here: mind your business. Rule number one, subset A: don’t bother me, especially.”
"Uh-"
"Don't lean on that wall, it's gross."
Peter jolts up straight and blinks at you, dumbfounded. There’s something vaguely endearing about the way he scrambles for something to say and the awkwardness that seems to string his lanky body together.
“Capisce? ” You test the waters, pushing him a little further to see if he’ll bend.
“Capoosh.”
_____________________________It's not that you hate your job, you just want to avoid doing it as much as possible. The new guy apparently wants to make that more complicated.

Summary
all of the ghost riley x medic!reader [helen isn't readers name, but a nickname from ghost]
“I never asked, why does he call you Helen?” Soap asks, jutting his head to the man beside him.
The one who has barely moved his mask to eat, even if his tray is full. You feel his knee move, and your eyes flick to him, finding his on his own tray.
“Helen of Troy,” you reply, just above a whisper, head tilting as you watch Soap’s expression. “The face that launched a thousand ships? I know you know first-hand his odd humour, but I think he really believes he’s being funny.”- Words:

Summary
“Status report,” she called through the mic attached to her gear on her shoulder.
“ Freezing my tits off ,” responded Soap.
“That makes two of us,” Spider called back.
“ Target is spotted inside. Soap, move left around the building. Spider, go straight. Stay hidden .” Ghost’s voice was barely audible, nothing but a low humming. If Spider hadn’t been so damn tense she might’ve fallen asleep to the sound of it.
“ Always the cheery one, Ghost ,” Soap replied. “ Moving now. ”
-
A mission goes wrong, sending Soap right into the arms of the enemy. Spider, the freshly reinstated soldier, goes against Ghost’s orders to save her friend. Things take a turn for the worse when Spider is wounded, leaving her to survive unimaginable torture.

Summary
But sometimes one or the other of you gets back to base in the middle of the night, as haunted as you are hunted, and pins the other to the bed or the wall and takes what you need. Not to say that Cassian ever forces you. If you say “stop,” if “no” crosses your lips, if you turn your face or wriggle free or push him back or squeeze his hand twice, if you just don’t seem into it, he stops.
But some nights you feel like if you stop him, you’ll lose him to his demons.
So you never do.
