    Summary

    “I take it you found him?”

    Ghost gasps softly, turning his head to face toward the staircase again. He feels more heat in his face as he sees Price standing on the landing of the stairs, having a clear sight of what is happening.

    “How long have you been there?” He asks instead, his voice slightly slurred, much to his chagrin.

    “Long enough.”

    Summary

    After the war, Simon follows the ancestry of a man that he loved and lost. It leads him through time and to a man similar but so very different from the John that he knew. But time can heal all wounds, even when sent over two hundred years into the past, a few years before the last Jacobite Uprising.

    (An Outlander inspired AU where Simon is somewhat Claire, and John is very much not Jamie)

    Summary

    “That in there, Sergeant, is the original Death. Shepherd is nothing more than an impostor.”
    The words fall heavy on Soap’s shoulders, as if they weigh more than they should and his breath catches in his throat.
    “That’s not true,” Soap says, his hand going to his neck, searching for the pendant of the Shepherd which he had torn off his neck months ago and thrown across the room. “Shepherd and his Beast are those who take us to the next world. Their Reapers help them,” he says, almost reciting, as his eyes go over to the two Reapers in the room. They’re not really moving, neither seemingly willing to break the spell.

    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.
