Summary
Soap huffs, wiping the dried blood from his ear. He stares at his fingers for a long moment, then leans his head against the wall, staring out into the moonlight. “What if it didn’t have to be a mistake, huh? You and me. What if you could be happy?”
“I think that’s what I’m most afraid of.”
Or
When Ghost realised he was in love with Soap MacTavish, that realisation scared him beyond belief, and he cut himself off in response.
And he'd do anything to undo that mistake.

Summary
He feels it before his brain’s caught up. Feels it in his core, his body moving, pushing Josiah off, interrupting his indignation, and his feet start to move. Soap panics, is barely in control, and all but throws his body out a door to his left. Draws in deep breaths, begs the stinging to leave his eyes.
I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the endingAnd Johnny knows exactly who follows him out the door.

Summary
What the fuck.
Soap brings his hand closer to his face, squinting hard. Making his already pounding headache worse. This isn’t real. Has to be a prank. For some reason, Gaz must’ve sneaked in here. Funny guy.
He’s heard—even seen it, once—the stories. It’s rare, but real, or at least an elaborate hoax, spanning countries and hundreds of years.
People brought together, Fate intervening. Everyone is supposed to have one, a red thread leading and binding them to the person they’re supposed to spend their life with, though Soap isn’t sure how true that is. No one falls in love once. But it’s not just for love, as he heard it. Maybe this is that. He’s not in love with Ghost. Wants him, sure, crushing…not something he wants to admit to in the cold light of day, but okay.
It’s not love.

Summary
On the 21st November 2023, Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish was killed in action in the Eurotunnel, 7km off the coast of Folkestone.
Except the heavily redacted report is all a lie and the emotional scattering of his ashes is all an act.
This is the story of how he survives, how the 141 fake his death, and how he recovers - with Ghost right by his side.
A realistic fic about Soap recovering from a traumatic brain injury and discovering which parts of himself are left, and which parts Makarov stole from him. Full of hurt and comfort, angst and humour, this is a slow burn Ghost/Soap getting together fic with a happy ending.

Summary
“They say the Ghost has no heart,” the soldier says, casual like he’s just come back from an evening stroll instead of a torture session. Without breaking eye contact, he taps the tip of his knife, still wet with Johnny’s blood, against the one-way glass, leaving behind a smear of crimson. “But I do not think that is true. I think I have found the Ghost’s heart, and I have strung it up like meat from butcher. Right. There.”
The man smiles, close-lipped and unassuming, and that disturbs Ghost more than any grin with too many sharp teeth ever will.
“It is pretty heart. Very pretty. But like butcher, I will carve it up in front of you if you do not tell me what I want to know."

Summary
‘If this is a mistake, then it'll be the best mistake o ma life.’ Soap whispered as Ghost gripped the man’s hips pulling him closer. His large, calloused hands trailed up underneath Johnny’s jumper, sending a shiver down his spine from the coldness.
‘No mistakes here, Johnny. I’m giving you one last chance to back down before this leads to somewhere we can’t come back from.’ Ghost warned the Scot. And oh fuck, that was enough to have the Sergeant on his knees begging.

Soap and Ghost are gathering intel, but get chased by the enemy to a safe house with one bed.
