    Summary

    The proverbial wrench, when it finally came, wasn't caused by Price’s romantic ineptitude or his bloodied hands.

    The culprit had been a mission. A very secretive, very critical mission that involved working with the French Foreign Legion and not telling a single bloody soul about it.

    Or: a dog goes for a long walk, but forgets to clear that with his owner first.

    Summary

    From the way Price pales, Ghost is sure that the poor man is convinced that this is the last time he’ll see his lieutenant alive. He’s not exactly sure how to reassure the man. It’s not like he can say, Oh don’t worry about me, I’m no longer suicidal because Soap is a ghost now and he’s haunting me and the meager time he spends talking to me in morse code is worth living for.

    So instead he says, “Going to Scotland. Figured someone should tell Johnny the news. What do you want as a souvenir?”

    OR

    Simon visits Scotland to have a picnic with Johnny at the cliff they scattered his ashes at and goes to an occult shop to learn how to better communicate with Soap now that he's a Ghost.

    If he also gets to spend Christmas alone with the man he secretly loves, all the better.


    A story of healing told over the course of four Christmases, three trips to Scotland, two pining men, and one bed.
