    Summary

    When talking about infamous gangs, it was hard not to bring up the 141. A force that no one wanted to reckon with. It was led by one man, but he had connections everywhere, from Mexico to the Middle East. And he was practically untouchable, on top of that. People say that if they were in the military, the nation of Britain would be unstoppable.
    Yet, that's not what they do. Like many other gangs, they mostly control businesses and work to keep an eye on their money and where it's being invested into. Normally, the boss puts his most trusted people in charge of these places, but, for this one, he picked someone that he wanted an excuse to keep an eye on. After a number of complaints, however, it seemed like he may have made a mistake. Especially when it seems like one of the performers that he cares deeply for at the club is getting the brunt end of the stick.
    So, he brings along a small team to find out what's going on. And also, what kind of boss would he be, if he didn't let his men have a night out on the town, every now and then? Get drinks, have fun, finding alluring ladies. Or, in the case of one of his men, an alluring man, who might just have the answers their looking for (and a little more).

    Summary

    Former SAS Operative turned MI5 officer John "Soap" MacTavish is determined to uncover the truth about his former partner's mysterious death. Former Lieutenant turned vigilante Simon "Ghost" Riley is out for revenge after his family was killed by the drug cartel that buried him alive and left him to die.

    When they meet, seemingly by chance, they discover their paths intersect in a vast web of sedition and betrayal that runs far beyond anything they expected. Learning to trust each other might be the only way to bring down the enemy, but as their closeness evolves into something more, priorities begin to shift.

    And they'll do whatever it takes to keep each other alive.


    A series of contrasting "before" and "after" moments between Ghost and Soap as they work to take down crooked government officials and mobsters while trying — and failing — to not fall in love.

    NOTE: Posted date edited due to the addition of scenes written by Starlight to go with Kiba's art in the FIRST and SECOND chapters. More fics will be added later for chapters 3 and 4 as well.

    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.

    Summary

    “You’re excited?”
    Rubbing his eye, he looked over his shoulder back to Kyle. The man sat on their small table, playing with his teaspoon. “What for?” Ghost asked, finally grabbing his black mug.
    “New sergeant’s comin’ today.”
    “What new sergeant?”

    ~

    "Supernatural beings were always assets on the battlefield, until they weren't. Ghost grew up with stories about mages and shifters, great battles, crumbling kingdoms, and defeated enemy armies. He himself became one of the most skilled and feared soldiers, a living nightmare. His name alone was enough to make enemy forces flee. But a life like that was destined to be lived alone. Or so he thought."

    Summary

    “Oh fuck,” Soap croaks.

    Ghost lowers his smoking gun, and their eyes meet.

    "Hello, Soap."

    or; Soap fucked up his entire life trying to save it. Now he's on the run from not one, not two, but three dangerous bastards; two of them he hates, one of them he loves. He's doing a good job of staying gone until he stumbles upon two ladies in need and gets a little too invested in helping them home.

    Summary

    There was only so much you could do to a dead man, you see, before he became more of a liability than an advantage. In theory, the idea of not killing Ghost— of keeping him alive, taking him back to the base and torturing all the information they could get out of him was a good one. However, in practice, the issue became more complicated.

    Or— Ghost is sent home to recover after being victim to cartel torture, and then Soap shows up.

    Summary

    Simon Riley, captain of the Manchester Soldiers, is one of the best goal scorers in the entire premier league. For some reason, however, he cannot score a goal against John MacTavish to save his life. It's driving him a little mad at this point.

    When John gets booted from his team for a "breach of contract" Simon does his best to be professional, to welcome his new goalie. That's what good captains do. It's just a shame MacTavish is such an arrogant prick.

    Summary

    They finally did it: they finally convinced the higher-ups and powers-that-be to allow werewolves among the military factions. Years of hard work have finally paid off! In the wilds of the Middle East, Soap and Gaz land their feet among the rest of the first mixed-species team: Task Force 141.

    Their deployment is expected to last ten months, a mere trial run to ensure that wolves can, and will, behave in intense and high-stress situations. Price is tasked with keeping tabs on the two wolves, ensuring they can work as a pack with humans as well as simply behave. This will only work if the wolves can prove as better soldiers--super soldiers who can follow orders.

    However, the eyes that have watched them since day one are still watching, and if Soap and Gaz can't find ways to pack with humans--especially when trust and tensions are high--they could ruin the future of werewolves in the Services indefinitely.

    “Ghost?”

    Soap.” Ghost’s voice was a low buzz, gravelly with static. In the absolute silence of the snow-covered forest, it sounded both deafeningly loud and intimately quiet.

    “What’s your favourite season?” Soap asked.

    -

    Four seasons, five countries, six months.
