Summary
An AU of my James Norrington/OC story, Catch the Wind, prompted by a reader on Tumblr, in which Elizabeth (and not James) is the one to find Theodora Byrne after she falls into the world of Pirates of the Caribbean. Untrusting of this strange newcomer, her behaviour, and her motives, as well as what her intentions might be as far as the Swanns are concerned, James vows to keep a close eye on her so she can get up to no mischief. Then, after a time, he can't help but watch her anyway.
Will only follow the first bit of the story, up to the events of the first movie - because after a certain point it would just converge with Catch the Wind and end up being the exact same story all over again with one or two changes at most.
Series
- Part 3 of James/Theodora

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
Eight years is a long time. It could completely change a person - and Ghost thinks that's exactly what the years since the 141's formation have done to him. He remains the best of the best, as Price demands from all of them, but the bonds he has with his team far surpass anything he expected to have after the Roba mission. He is still a soldier first and foremost, but something dangerously human lurks beneath the surface.
More than anything, a brash, bright-eyed sergeant stands at his shoulder, and Ghost doesn't know what to do with him - never has.
OR, a story of subtleties, told in the only language Ghost still knows and the only language Soap can speak: devotion.

Summary
734 days. You'd been a prisoner, locked and hidden away in this solitary cell for over two years. Others there had committed petty crimes or made themselves an enemy of the Ultranationalists, and before them— the Soviet Union.
A majority of prisoners hadn't done anything wrong at all, though they were too poor, too educated, or simply too much of a threat to the regime. Anyone could have been in the cell next to yours for any reason. But you? You knew why you were expected to rot away there.
It was either die of disease or malnutrition in your cell, long forgotten by anyone who'd known your name, or be found by either side of the conflict and be killed. Death had called to you for a while; you didn't fear it. And you didn't fear the three, foreign operators when they broke through the door to your prison cell— or when the one with the skull mask held an assault rifle to your head.
