Summary
“This is a waste of my goddamn time,” the boss snapped, swinging his fist at Soap’s jaw. Again.
“Really?” Soap spat blood onto the floor, his binds flexing at the motion. “And here I thought we were starting to bond.”
The man’s attention— and his pistol— turned towards Ghost. “Tell me, does he ever shut the fuck up?” It was a bluff, Soap knew it was, but it didn’t stop the smirk from falling off his face. Only realizing his mistake a second too late.
“Oh,” their captor said smugly, gun back at Ghost’s temple as his eyes flicked between the two. “I see. We’ve been going about this all wrong, haven’t we? Let’s try this again…”
or
After months undercover, all that stood between Soap and freedom was an exit plan. When it goes awry, he and Ghost are left at the mercy of a cartel boss, who’s determined to get his revenge.
With all their time apart, are Soap and Ghost still in-tune enough to escape?

Summary
A traumatised lieutenant, an oblivious sergeant and an unsuspecting family meet up in a Scottish farmstead… What sounds like the beginning of a bad joke is actually Ghost’s current reality. He has no clue how the fuck Soap managed to drag him into the Highlands to meet his parents– okay, yeah, he does. He’s stupidly in love with his Johnny; there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for him, including making a complete fool out of himself trying to fit into Soap’s family.
If only he could fit in. If only he knew how to act like a regular human being. If only he wasn’t a monster.
Maybe then, he could figure out a way to keep Soap.

Summary
Returning from summer break with a freshly scarred back and a sort-of-adopted student, Iruka resolves to deal with absolutely no nonsense this school year. For an entire morning, he manages to convince himself that it’s even a remotely realistic goal.
And then, of course, the strange, moderately off-putting, and more than a little infuriating new gym teacher has to barge into his life.

Summary
Brushing debris off of the note, Iruka gently unfolded it, trying not to rip the damp creases.
"Ukki-san enjoys watering three times a week, gentle dusting of his leaves, and daily haiku readings. He tells me the light from your bedroom window is perfect.
He would like to thank you for taking care of him, and tells me I owe you two favors now.
Back in twelve days.
P.S. A perfect mission report is worth at least four favors, sensei, so think of something else."A henohenomoheji stared at Iruka in place of a signature.
(Or, Kakashi doesn't know how to ask someone to care for him, so he'll get Iruka to look after his plant as a proxy.)- Language:
