Summary
John “Soap” MacTavish and Simon “Ghost” Riley – both star players for their respective EIHL teams – are supposed to hate each other.
On the ice, they do, colliding like war every time their teams face each other, a rivalry that has been going on for years. Off the ice, thought, they share a carefully guarded secret: a long-standing arrangement to burn off steam after every game they play against one another.
When a tabloid photo of Ghost leaving Soap’s flat exposes their secret, their agents force them into a fake relationship to control the narrative. What starts as a PR stunt quickly blurs into something far more dangerous as stolen moments, forced outings, and a long summer together turn lust into something neither of them is prepared to admit.
Caught between public rivalry and private affection, Soap and Ghost must decide whether what they’ve built off the ice is worth making real – before the season, the league, or their own fears tear them apart.

By the times Soap wakes up, he has acquired a very devoted husband the nurses swoon over and his parents have accepted into the family.
As Soap recovers, he and Ghost try to navigate their growing feelings as the line between pretend and fake starts to blur. By the time Soap is cleared for active duty again, they must figure out what their relationship really is… and whether the fake marriage everyone believes in might not be so fake after all.

Summary
When Simon “Ghost” Riley left the military after years of service, he never expected civilian life would include so much socialising, especially with coworkers. He manages to avoid it all by telling a small lie: he has a boyfriend. A perfect, convenient, totally-not-real boyfriend who keeps him “busy” on evenings and weekends.
Problem solved, one would think. Until the mandatory company Christmas gala demands attendance of said boyfriend.
Ghost is reluctantly introduced to one John “Soap” MacTavish, a charming mechanic who is willing to help out. It should’ve been simple: pretend to be in a relationship, fake a few smiles, have a few drinks, and done.
Except one night of pretending to be a couple turns into texts, favours, and a growing friendship neither of them expected. Now, Ghost finds himself tangled in something dangerously close to happiness and has to face the truth: his fake boyfriend might just be the most real thing he’s ever had.

Summary
When John “Soap” MacTavish leaves the city behind for a neglected farm he inherited from his late grandfather in Pelican Town, he expects soil, sweat, and a quiet life. What he doesn’t expect is to meet Simon “Ghost” Riley, a gruff, masked recluse living in the mountains. Between tending to his animals, the changing seasons, and dangerous dives into the mines, Soap’s path keeps crossing with Ghost’s. Soap came to the valley to start over, but he never imagined Ghost would be the one to take root in his heart.

Summary
Sam Wilson is busier than ever – balancing missions, public duties, and the weight of the shield. Bucky Barnes, newly elected as a congressman for New York, is trying to make amends in a different way: with policies instead of punches, speeches instead of fights. When a few late nights and long commutes lead to Bucky crashing at Sam’s D.C. apartment, it’s supposed to be temporary. Practical. Friendly.
Then one spare key turns into extra shirts in the closet. An extra toothbrush appears on the sink. A joint grocery list. They start cooking dinner together, running in the mornings, and accidentally building a life together. Lines start to blur, and routines turn into something else.
A story about two idiots in love, learning that home isn’t a place you find. It’s what you build together.

Summary
John “Soap” MacTavish never meant to come out as bisexual on national television – it just slipped out during a post-match interview. Overnight, his rugby stats take a backseat to accusations of queerbaiting, invasive questions, and endless speculation.
Enter Kyle “Gaz” Garrick, an old mate from school, now in the military and schemer extraordinaire. His solution? A fake boyfriend. Someone private, unreachable by the press.
Someone like his lieutenant – Simon “Ghost” Riley. Luckily, Ghost owes Gaz a favour. A big one.
It’s just meant to be a few quiet photos, some social media buzz, a bit of smoke to keep the wolves at bay. But as the season wears on and the fake relationship starts bleeding into quiet nights, real texts, and barely-there touches… Soap starts to wish it were real. And Ghost – Ghost stops knowing where the act ends and something real begins.
What starts as a cover story slowly becomes something neither of them know how to fake anymore.

Problem solved – until Price invites said imaginary boyfriend to Christmas dinner.
When Gaz hears about it, he immediately calls bullshit. And then decides to step in to help.
Enter John "Soap" MacTavish: Gaz’s childhood friend, chaos incarnate, and a civilian working in private security who loves a good disaster. When Gaz asks for help, Soap agrees immediately. Pretending to be someone’s boyfriend for a holiday event? Sign him up.
Ghost expects awkward dinners and limited contact. What he gets is text messages at midnight, inside jokes, Soap knowing exactly how to help without being asked, and a growing problem: this was never supposed to feel real.

Summary
When a flirtatious subordinate won’t take a hint, Lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Riley blurts out that he has a boyfriend. It’s a lie meant to shut things down – until the story spreads across base and command expects his mystery partner to show up at an upcoming formal event.
Meanwhile, John “Soap” MacTavish, ex-military and now civilian, tells his family the same lie to avoid another disastrous matchmaking attempt. Their mutual friend Kyle "Gaz" Garrik – utterly delighted – connects the dots and makes the fake relationship official.
But one event turns into two. Then into family weekends, texts at midnight, comfort cups of tea, and quiet moments that start to feel dangerously real. What began as a tactical cover story is suddenly the most stable thing in either of their lives.
They said it was temporary.
They didn't expect to want more.
