Summary
Crow knows all about keeping people at arm's length; he’s been doing it since he was rezz’d. He can’t risk letting people in, letting people see the shadow of who he used to be.
Most people have forgotten the name Uldren Sov, but not Crow.
How could he, when he still woke up to the sound of a single shot being fired from a Hand Cannon?
Opening his own coffee shop seemed like a good way to give back to the City, and for the most part, he felt fulfilled with his work.
Until one morning, Cayde-6 walked through the doors. He’s cocky and self-assured, and their banter comes as easily to Crow as breathing. But that’s all it is. All it ever could be.
Crow already knows how it will end. Because Cayde doesn’t know the truth…he can't know.

Summary
“You’re not busy Cayde, so stop pretending to look through the weapon caches. I’m here to talk to you about my pa—”
“Yes! I know!” He threw up his arms helplessly. “Your past, your past…that’s all you ever want to talk about. Look, kid…You got something special. You got something people almost never get.”
“And what’s that?”
“A second chance.” Finally at this Crow dropped his folded arms, his body language shifting. “You’re wastin’ it by trying to figure out what you did with the first one.”
“Would you at least explain why…You won’t tell me?”
Cayde looked deep in thought about this, as if carefully considering his words before he spoke again. “You have to make your own fate, Crow. Walk your own path. Nothin’ in your past is gonna help you do that.”
“You were in my past. You helped me.”
“Yes, and I’m helping you now. In the present. Where it matters.” Cayde sighed and walked up to Crow, placing a hand on his shoulder. “Please let it go. Trust me on this.”

Summary
Summary: “Life’s still all about that timing, huh?”
Cayde continues to struggle with his feelings towards the man who killed him. The man he might be falling in love with. The man he’ll have to leave behind when all this is over with. Under the starless sky of the Traveler, in their single tent Cayde allows himself to let go. Just once. Yeah, so what the galaxy was ending. When wasn’t it ending? Was it so wrong for him to indulge in a little comfort? A little companionship?
Especially when he could practically see the end of his legacy laid out before him in all its Traveler-given glory. If this was truly the end of the line for him, if there was nothing left once this was over…
Then fuck it.

Summary
A single frame frozen in time. It was the moment Cayde had summoned Sundance. He could see her faint outline, half-warped away already, the projectile tearing through the space she had occupied not even a millisecond before.
"In every other timeline, you and your Ghost die." Queen Mara said. "Out of millions of realities, they all end the same. Except this one. Doesn't it make you curious, Cayde-6? Doesn't it make you wonder why?"
"The Traveler wanted me to live." He didn't believe the words, but maybe she'd buy them.
"Even you don't think you're that special." She scoffed. It had been worth a shot. "I have seen into your futures, Cayde-6. Every path, every choice leads you right back to my brother and this very moment at The Prison of Elders. Your fates are bound together, like two black holes caught in each other’s pull. The gravity between you is inevitable—drawing closer, tighter—until one finally consumes the other."
"I assume you mean Uldren killing me."
"Yes. Your Final Death was always his to take. It's his legacy."
"But not this time." He clarified as he pointed at the frozen scene in front of them. "Which means something changed. Something...Or someone wanted me here."

The Hunter Vanguard’s Guide on How to Ruin a Suit by MStarCreates
Fandoms: Destiny (Video Games)
17 Nov 2024

Summary
Being a Hunter can be just as dangerous as it is fun. The wilds are your home, and you often get to play by your own rules. But sometimes in life, fate has it out for you and you gotta don a nice suit and say some pretty lines to the guy that shot you.

Summary
“How do you do that…?” He asked, voice sounding tired and worn even to himself.
“Do what?” Cayde asked, his hand pulling away once more, making Crow’s chest ache at the lost contact.
“How do you decide to just not care about the past, about what happened between us?”
“I think that line of inquiry can only be answered after a few drinks.” Cayde held up two bottles that seemed to have appeared from nowhere. “Even the Traveler thinks we need it.” He took a seat on his chair, his long legs stretching out languidly as he gestured for Crow to sit with him.
TLDR: Crow and Cayde play a drunken game of Truth or Dare inside the Traveler’s Pale Heart.

Summary
Football is Johnny's whole life, and not that American shite either. Real U.K. footie. He used to be a goalie in uni. Gifted, they used to say. Until he tore his ACL in his second season. It's not that people can't come back from that kind of injury, just not Johnny it seemed. Even after multiple surgeries, his knee was never the same and he had to give up his dream of being the Greatest Goalie of All Time. Due to this, Johnny works a shit job as a garage attendant while living with his parents and youngest sister, Sadie. Now, he plays football vicariously through his favorite player. Manchester United's finest, Simon 'The Ghost' Riley. Named aptly due to his ability to control the centre field and come up behind other players without them ever noticing.
So when Johnny has a chance to meet with the famous football player in a pub, he attempts to talk to the man and instead ends up with a fist to the face and a nasty concussion. Simon gets promptly suspended once the rumors begin to spread that he beat a man for apparently no reason. Guilt consumes Johnny and he decides to make it his sole mission to help Simon rise like a phoenix from the ashes and become the greatest football player ever.

Summary
**MAJOR SPOILERS**
Loss is such a physical thing, Ghost knew this first-hand. It's like a part of you that you didn't know existed, is suddenly missing. And it becomes this gnawing, hungry thing. This open, gaping wound in the pit of your soul.
It's so desperate for any taste of what it's lost that Ghost found himself looking for Johnny in everything and everyone. He'd see a stranger's eyes and think 'They look like his....hm...no they're too gray....or...are they too blue...?'
OR Ghost is grieving Johnny's death and doing it badly when he discovers Johnny isn't six feet under after all.
Johnny, desperate for Ghost's forgiveness tries to ambush the man at all his favorite haunts on base. If he could just get Ghost to talk to him! After multiple failed attempts he goes to his Captain who suggests the base's elevator.
The elevator has an emergency stop, when pushed they'll both be locked in until someone on the outside disables it.
It's perfect.

Summary
All Soap wanted was a holiday. A holiday from not being shot at, or nearly bleeding out. A holiday from terrorists claiming they were going to rule the world like some evil Bond villain. And what did he get instead? A nasty hangover and somehow a marriage that he doesn't even remember. Before he can even address that, apparently the terrorists didn't get the memo about his vacation and he and Ghost are called back to the frontlines ASAP.
OR
Soap and Ghost take holiday together in Las Vegas, get completely wasted and get hitched!
*ON HIATUS*

Summary
While on a recon mission that goes south, Soap and Ghost get pinned down in an abandoned church. With nothing else to do but wait for exfil, the two men have to figure out how to fill the time.
Lips on lips, quiet breathing, hands grasping. There was nothing else in this world quite like kissing Simon 'Ghost'Riley. Soap was certain of that. Every time he did, he found a new reason to love Simon. A new reason to revel in him. A new reason to worship him.
He broke away slowly, to get a good look at Simon. No matter how many times he saw this man without his mask, he would never tire of it. He reached forward with one hand, cupping one of Simon's cheeks as they gazed into each other's eyes. Neither of them said a word. They didn't need to.
