  2. Summary

    This is the main line of the series!

    I got the name of this series from well . . . everyone apparently not having good enough reflexes to catch the brain cell except Tim. But Duke caught the common sense so it doesn't even matter all that much. Not to mention that I forgot to put this series up when I made the Flyaway series 💀

    Summary

    “Beware the Court of Owls,
    that watches all the time, ruling Gotham from a shadowy perch,
    behind granite and lime.
    They watch you at your health,
    they watch you in your bed,
    speak not a whispered word of them or they'll send the Talon for your head.”

    Jason would like a one Talon please. No, not the Other Talon. He wants the Little Talon. The one with yellow green eyes. The short one. You know the one that chirps. No, he's not turning into his Father, he swears.

    Little Talon doesn't know what he wants but he knows this new Big Talon is good.

    (It takes a bit to get to Big Talon and Little Talon part. It starts mostly just Little Talon. Like a while. We got there though but takes a bit.)

    Summary

    There’s a teddy in Soap’s bed; a beaten-up, old brown bear. Well-loved, if the state of the fur is any indication. Ghost lets out a choked laugh, mostly at his own expense. He wishes he was there, suddenly, wishes he was by Johnny’s side as he walked through the doorway and realised that his childhood room was waiting for him like a time capsule. Wishes he got to see the embarrassed scrunch of his face, the way the tips of his ears would flush red.

    Soap has a whole second life, outside of the SAS. He’s got a mother, and a poorly-decorated bedroom, and a bear. All Ghost has is a flat that will be the same it is today as it will be the day he dies, like he was never even here at all.

    Summary

    Soap doesn’t remember the ambush outside Prague. He doesn’t remember the medevac, the surgery, or the two weeks he spent in a coma. What he does remember is Ghost’s face when he wakes, sitting at his bedside like he hasn’t moved in days.

    Turns out, Ghost’s been listed as his “next of kin.” Which is strange, because Soap doesn’t remember marrying his lieutenant, either. However, hospitals only allow family to stay overnight, and Ghost wasn’t about to leave.

    Now, as Soap learns to walk again, Ghost helps him eat, move, and stay awake. It’s supposed to be just for practicality and convenience.

    But there’s nothing practical about the way Ghost looks at him or the way Soap looks back.

    Recovery is messy. So is pretending not to care.

    Or: Soap survives the gunshot, and Ghost pretends to be his husband so he can take care of him
