Summary
Soap is a PhD student, doing his research in Antarctica on the behaviors and hunting habits of leopard seals. During his expedition, he becomes obsessed with a leucistic seal, who he's taken to calling Ghost.
His attempts at tagging Ghost for tracking purposes have all failed, leaving Soap frustrated, but determined to try again. He won't stop until he gets the data he needs for his dissertation.
At the same time, Soap is stuck in an escalating, heated flirting match with a hydroponics employee at another base. It's foolish to form romantic relationships with someone he knows will vanish from his life once their expeditions are over, but there's something fascinating about this man that he can't ignore.

Summary
Ghost sighs long and exaggerated, sinking into himself and reaching for the lip of his balaclava to hide the unending spread of his bourbon flush.
Or, he would, if Soap didn’t bury his hand in the coarse, black cloth at the back of Ghost’s head and tug until his chin points towards the ceiling and the long column of his throat is bared.
“Does it go all the way down, Lt?” Soap teases, tracing the edge of splotchy red bleeding down Ghost’s neck.
Ghost decides, in this moment, that neither of them will survive this.
Ghost is ruined and Soap is in his blind line of fire, eyes lidded and content, like there’s no place he’d rather be than staining the barstool next to Simon fucking Riley. Even as Ghost pushes him away, even as he grovels into the varnished, undeserving counter, Soap stays close and unfathomably warm. Because he knows.
You liked that, he oozes, bleeds.
or: soap keeps pulling ghost around by the back of his mask. maybe ghost is a little more telling than he realizes.

Summary
“Ye know, I think this has gotta be the nicest safehouse I’ve ever seen,” he said, glancing around the room with mild interest.
Ghost hummed, glancing at Soap out of the corner of his eye before looking back down at the kettle. “That’s because it’s technically not a safe house,” he said. “It’s mine.”
“What?”
Ghost looked at him, hand still on the kettle. “This is my house, Soap.”

Summary
If you told Soap the second time he’d see Ghost’s face was in a shitty bar on a shittier block of Chicago… Well, he might have asked for a little more pomp and circumstance. At least then he’d have an excuse for the way he could hear his blood pumping faster in his ears and why he could feel it, hot and burning behind his eyes.

Summary
Kyle was staring at him, holding Pollux’s chart in his hands, one eyebrow raised. “Seriously?”
John scoffed, “What? I was worried.”
“Has nothing to do with the handsome new doctor?” The technician gave him an amused grin.
“Absolutely not.” John couldn’t hide the blush on his face, though, turning his attention to the cat that was slinking by the counter on his way to the sink.
Kyle shook his head and shrugged before he turned the tap on to a slow stream of water, "Whatever you say."

“You got a type?”
The picture of Ghost’s slow blinking is clear in his mind. How he'd maybe reposition himself in the tower, think up a cheeky response, and—
“Why, you want me to describe you?”
Weeell. Maybe. But he’s not tellin' Simon that.

Summary
It still took his breath away. The beauty of Simon Riley. The way the light played across his cheekbones like it had traveled all this way just to touch his face. Lightyears of travel, worth it just for a fleeting moment in his presence.
Soap had once thought of Simon as a sculpture, beauty immortalized in stone by passionate hands. But he was wrong.
Simon was the artist. Painting everything around him into pure beauty just by being in his presence. Ever changing, ever growing, lighting up all that came within his radius. Pulled in by the same gravity that had Soap in orbit.

Or
The one where soulmates leave marks on each other at their first skin on skin contact. Soap joins the 141 hoping to find a home in the form of a team. He finds it in the form of a man instead.

Summary
“You were going to spend Christmas with your mum.” It was a statement, not a question.
“Aye,” Soap answered honestly. He didn’t look away from the TV. They sat there, feet apart.
“I’m sorry you’re stuck here with me,” said Ghost.
Soap, mouth falling open at the apology, turned to Ghost to say something. Anything. It’s alright. You should be. I don’t mind it, if it’s you.
None of this actually made it out and Ghost beat him to the punch. “What the fuck movie is this, MacTavish?”
Soap turned in time to see Tom Hanks appear. But it wasn’t quite Tom Hanks, something was wrong with his-
Oh. Soap laughed. “This is Polar Express! It’s my sister’s favorite.”“What’s wrong with him?”
“It’s a cartoon.” Soap yawned and thought about what he’d just said. “But…not really.”
“I hate it.”
“Like me to change it, sir?”
“...No.”
--------
Soap's been shipped out to a safehouse in the Canadian Wilderness alone, except then Ghost shows up, but maybe Soap wasn't supposed to be shipped out in the first place? And Soap's been running on zero sleep and pure angst since they left Chicago. 'Tis the season.
