Summary
In this moment, from the second Marissa had told me during that fateful dinner about the Petrova line, the return of the ArcLight probe from Venus, through the whole Petrova task force, Stratts betrayal, the horrific first moments on the Hail Mary. Nearly dying a hundred times both from the planet Adrian and general space travel, my choice of saving Rocky instead of myself, abandoning all hope from ever seeing Earth again. Getting here half starved, working out how to survive a landscape that was inherently inhospitable for me, but right now. It was so fucking worth it.
The weight receded and I lunged after a breath, only to heave out more sobs, oh god i felt pathetic, and happy and everything. I couldn't talk, I couldn't breathe. All my grief, all my decisions, everything that led to this moment. “We did it Grace,” I heard Rocky, who was still half curled around me, “we saved Erid!”
They had a future.
And that meant that it was legitimate and unfaltering hope that Sol would be saved and Earth too. And that made me sob even harder.

Summary
“You know what,” Soap turned towards him, bright blue eyes shining the setting sun, “I’ve got an idea.”
“Oh no.”
Ghost blocked the predicted hit to his arm, “shut the fuck up." Ghost looked at him, saw the mirth in the mock angry expression.
Ghost gestured, “go on then.”
“If we’re both single when we’re fifty,” Soap started only to be interrupted as Ghost snorted beside him, “what?”
“Never gonna happen Johnny,” Ghost raised an eyebrow, “I’m ten years older than you, we’ll never be fifty at the same time.”
Soap rolled his eyes, “let me finish ye clarty bastard, if we’re single,” he raised a finger, “when you turn fifty and I turn forty, we get married.”
Ghost stared dumbly at him, “why?”
Soap turned fully towards him, “for tax benefits."
“For tax benefits?”
“Aye,” he stuck out his hand, “we got a deal?”
Ghost could only roll his eyes fondly, it would never happen, Soap would find someone. So, he committed to the bit "only if you give me a gold ring."
OR
Soap and Ghost makes a pact to get married, life happens and thirteen years down the line they face a mutual purely "platonic" marriage and thirteen years of miscommunication and pining.

Summary
“we found heightened HCG levels, do you know what that means?”
One could imagine that someone as pale as ghost couldn’t become paler, with the whole throwing up thing and the sun exposure being only contained to the sliver of wrist he sometimes showed. But Soap saw the colour practically drain from his face in real time, like he suddenly had some open wound leaking out on the tiled floor, “what?” Ghost choked out, making Soap even more confused as to what that would mean.
“What are HCG levels?” Soap asked dumbly, leaning forward to be ready to catch Ghost since he looked two fucking seconds away from passing out.
“It means he’s pregnant.”

Summary
But Price? Good gracious Gaz was nearly blushing standing in front of Soap, far away in his mind's eye while he kept selling this vacation Gaz already knew he was saying yes to. He was dreaming about a beach and airy hotel rooms, large and lavish like their new apartment and the cars Gaz sometimes found himself in the backseat in. He dreamed about laying his head on a hairy chest that had grey swirls hidden between the dark brown. And yeah, he shook his head, lifted his arms up in defeat and sighed dramatically. “Fine,” he breathed out, solidifying what was going to be The Stupidest decision of his life, “I’ll come along to this stupid vacation.”
This wasn’t a good idea, he was playing an age restricted game he was nowhere near old enough to play – and yet, he couldn’t quite say no either.
OR
A continuation of that Ghoap age gap fic. But this time, Gaz tags along to an anniversary vacation to the Maldives and thinks he’s about to third wheel big time until Price comes along and show Gaz a good time.

Summary
It felt millennia old, to do these things, give soap his favourite food, clothes with his scent, he had even contemplated tugging up his sleeves to glide the scent glands across soaps shoulders – the first time he would be willingly scenting someone since his little stint in Mexico with Roba.
But soap dug something out of him, pulled it into the light and showcased it to everyone. Ghost was smitten. At the full mercy of soaps alluring scent and personality. Steered in whatever direction Soap wanted him to go, willingly let himself be controlled like it was nothing. Like it wasn’t against everything they’ve been taught.

Summary
“Would you continue even if I weren’t here?”
“If you ask, I will,” he would do anything.
Ghost felt the phantom feeling of Johnny’s hand around his neck, fingers digging into the skin in the nape of his neck, brushing against the buzzed blond hair. Could feel the heavy gaze of his blue eyes on him, flickering over his face like he was mentally mapping it as if he was never gonna see it again, “I ask now,” he had whispered in the tense moment between them.
“Why?” /Why Johnny? Why did you ask me then? Why, why, why…/
“Just a precaution,” /bullshit/, Johnny smiled, though it didn’t reach his eyes, didn’t even crinkle them properly like it always did. “Will you look for me?”
“Always.”
Or
Johnny died, but a year after on the anniversary of his death, Ghost finds something that maybe will change that. Following blindly a trail laid out by Soap himself to find him.

Summary
“I’m 46 Johnny,” Ghost shifted again, leaning forwards now coming closer – fingers digging into the meat of Soap’s thigh, “I earned my first million while you were in diapers, don’t fault me for being a bit reserved.” And there that slight smirk was again, tugging lightly on those scarred lips, that same heated gaze returning. Reservations slowly easing away.
“Trying tae be all gentleman huh?” Soap leaned down, taking that last hit of the cigarette before throwing it into the little ashtray by the chairs legs, “think ye know why I even said yes to this job, it’s not my first time in company like this…”

Summary
The paper crinkled when he dragged it out from where he had stuffed it into his backpack, already ripped in the corners and scuffed from the harsh treatment when he ran to the gate earlier. He skimmed over the tags again, the first one being the one that caught his eye ‘military romance’, the rest of the tags weren’t too important as he ripped the paper. Sue him for latching onto it, maybe it was so hilarious that he could get through at least half the flight not bored out of his mind.
The ripped brown paper revealed a smooth black cover, a tunnel ending in a white circle with a soldier carrying another one over his shoulders, the title in plain white letters ‘Solider heart’. Soap flipped it, finding the reviews and a simple summary on the back. The author being anonymous, only the initials of what most likely already was pseudo name, ‘RS’. It held many awards, even called internationally best selling romance novel of it genre, which raised some eyebrows.
What had started as the longest flights of his life, turned out to be the shortest.

Summary
Ghost was breathing harshly, in and out through his nose. He looked like a ticking bomb, he leaned further in, boxing Soap against the car with his broad frame, but Soap didn’t back down, “like you could drive it better, Johnny?” Ghost seethed, the plastic on his helmet cracking under his harsh grip, “you couldn’t even get it around the track I bet.”
He looked deep into those brown eyes he loved. Pointed towards the car, “I cannae drive? I know every fuckin’ thing about it, probably spent more time in it than you, I bet I could get a good time around track if I was allowed to actually drive it!”
Had he driven a F1 car? A few meters, absolutely, had he ever reached a higher speed than 30 km an hour, absolutely not. But he spoke some truth, he knew the car down to the minuscule details. He knew how it worked. It couldn’t be too hard in practice. Right?

Summary
his eyes trained on Simon’s face.
The freckled skin, the wrinkles around his eyes and eyebrows, the expressiveness of his features. The scars and the small indents that when John really thought about it could look like the shape of that skull mask, but he wasn’t really sure. It was there, when Simon needed a short break on a bench, laughing at a comment John made, that it hit John. A warm feeling spreading in his chest like dye in water. He didn’t feel lonely.
Because Simon had filled that void with his jokes, his stories and warm timbre voice. Living in John’s mind even when he was at home watching TV or making dinner for one. It was a slow realisation, warm and sappy slithering through his veins and arteries. Smiling wider despite the conversation not really catering for it.

Summary
Soap’s first meeting with Formula 1 was at Silverstone at the sweet age of twelve years old. Watching the Formula 1 cars whizz passed them was something Soap would never forget.
But the thing that had been ingrained in his young mind was not the race itself, not the driver’s whizzing past or the car's designs, no, it was from a big screen along the track for when the cars were driving in a different sector. His eyes were glued to the image as the image changed to a pit stop, showing the synchronised team ripping off the tyres and sticking on new ones, how the team’s flowed like water around the car in a matter of seconds before it shot out of Pit Lane again.
Soap had turned to his father, massive blue eyes crinkling with determination as he said “I am going to be a Formula 1 mechanic!”
Dreams became reality as he stepped into the garage during F1 2023 season years later, throwing him into the whirlwind of motorsports in the Red Bull pit crew. Not knowing this season wouldn’t only bring him his desire to be a mechanic but also bring him closer to the lead driver of the team, Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley, who was competing for the 2023 championship.

Summary
Soap’s eyes strayed over towards Price again, suddenly remembering to ask Ghost to be partnered up for the next Op, “hey Ghost,” his voice had dipped low.
“What Johnny?” Their eyes met and Ghost had his mask half pulled down over his mouth so he could sip at his drink, an easy smile that stretched the scars around his mouth. God Soap thought he was hot.
It was nearly distracting, jumbling his mind as he asked plainly, “can we be together?” Ghost nearly choked on his drink coughing a bit before staring wide eyed back at Soap.
“What? Us being together?”
“Aye,” Soap looked at him a bit confused. “If you don't want to, that's fine, I won't make it a big deal if you don’t.”
“I’m just surprised you’re so casual about it,” Ghost put his glass down, shuffling a bit closer that made Soap smile wider, “but yes, if you’re sure?”
Ghost nearly sounded nervous, and Soap saw the slight red tint to his cheeks and ears and Soap grinned wider at the knowledge that Ghost got flustered about being partnered up for a mission, he laughed a bit tilting his head to the side and looking up at Ghost, “I’m always sure about you.”

Summary
“What’re in the mood for then?” John asked, shifting slightly so the seatbelt still buckled in didn't dig into his neck. The creeping flush coming from his chest made him warm and nearly giddy.
“Was asked for a ride if I remember correctly,” Simon smirked, sneaking a hand next to John’s thigh, the familiar click of the seatbelt loosening its hold. “Come on Captain,” he leaned back and got out of the car, leaving John stunted in the passenger seat of his own car. Feeling the rush of blood leaving his head and travelling south, the title thrown in there heightened his senses and made him take some serious deep breaths before he opened the car door.
Simon grinned wickedly, leaning against a pillar next to the exit, John reached into the back seat to grab the cane - knowing he would have to use it tomorrow if he had any say in where this night was going.

Summary
Simon had never truly let himself want anything big out of his life, he had settled a long time ago that his life was steered by others. He wouldn't dare to want a quiet retirement with a loving partner by his side, that happened because Johnny had been persistent enough, hacked away at the many walls and layers Simon had put around himself. He was happy with that, content with living out his days just like this.
But then the dream, he couldn't even recall it, not even if he tried. He could just remember the feeling, the general vibe, phantom feelings lingering against his skin. It lit something within him that he had never thought he would want again. He wanted a family, a deep desire for something he had tried in the past but got taken away with bullets and past mistakes, and now he felt like he could rebuild that with Johnny - try to mend the foundation and make something better out of the old rubble that was left from his past.
OR
A continuation of the first fic 'I think I want one' where Simon and Johnny try to get a kid together. Lots of fluff, some angst and some spice sprinkled in for some extra flavour.

Summary
He saw someone, or at least it had to be someone, a skull looming in over him suddenly. A painted skull on a fabric covering a face, and god those intense eyes that were staring down at him.
This had to be heaven, the skull made him question it a little since there had been no accounts for that in all the after-death experiences he’d heard, but only heaven would award him with those brown intense eyes staring into his own boring grey ones.
“m’ nam’s John,” he slurred up at the eyes trying to put on his flirty tone that usually worked, his arm making a futile attempt to move so they could shake hands. The man shook his head and his eyes moved away from Soaps.
Soap suddenly was very aware of the jostling, and the deep rumble from what could only be a car, and last time he checked, heaven didn't have cars and men clad in skull masks. He could also faintly remember a priest telling him that there is no pain in heaven. There hadn't been pearly gates, nor had it been a stairway he needed to walk up.
OR
set in the last of us universe, Soap gets injured while he and Gaz are on the run. Stumbling over what could only be their saving grace saving their asses. A life and love story told through seasons.

Summary
“You know what fuck you, Simon Riley!” He spat, jabbing a finger into the plate carrier covering Ghost. He felt like he was fuming like his nerves were on fire from the anger he felt.
“What do you want me to say,” Ghost yelled back, “that we will survive and retire and get kids, that we will get a small house with a nice garden? Is that what you wanna hear Johnny? I can’t lie to you, I tell you the truth! I won’t see a retirement, this is it! I will die out there and I won’t drag you down in a coffin with me Johnny!” His eyes intense underneath that stupid skull mask, “what you ask of me is impossible for me to give you, if you have to make me choose between you and the military, my choice is always going to be the military even though I love you!”
Soap lunged, yelling out curses none could even pretend to understand. Soap felt himself be dragged away, he yelled, cursing out Ghost for all the base to hear. Price got in between and Gaz kept his arms around Soap.
“Fine!” he shrugged off Gaz, and stepped backwards towards the barracks, “ye can get what ye want Ghost, ye get the military. I am done with ye!”
OR
Soap and Ghost break up, but then they meet at Gaz’s wedding 12 years later.

Summary
Simon woke up in a soft haze that only came with half-remembered dreams, still halfway dreaming. His ears could practically hear the soft shuffle of soft small feet against hardwood floors distantly, and small giggles coming from the living room. He opened his eyes to the soft light of the morning with images of small fingers wrapped around his one larger finger, he could feel the phantom skin against his and the imaginary strength. He dragged a hand over his eyes trying to get the crust out while the last feelings from the dream settled deep in his chest, a sense of calm washing over him.
