Summary
This is the part he likes best: when the mission is complete but they’re still riding the high, hearts pumping from the exertion of keeping themselves alive. This is when Ghost is at his most unreserved, when he seems the most unlike The Ghost. It’s as if a good op helps him remember what it feels like to be human. And it’s in these moments, when he’s almost effusive, casual about a pat on the shoulder or a hand at the back of the neck—when he seems to need the physical reassurance that they made it out in one piece—that Soap thinks the mask looks the most like the prop it is. It doesn’t scare him; it only makes him sad.

Things go wrong on a routine op. The fallout takes a long time to settle, and when it does, everything is different.

Summary
He remembers catching tadpoles in the pond at his granddad’s farm when he was a very young boy, scooping them up in his hands and watching them wriggle.
“Gonna be frogs someday, they will,” his granddad had said, crouching down in the mud, smelling of manure and sun-baked earth. “So be gentle with ‘em, like.” He’d taken Simon’s wrist so softly in his own hand and lowered the tadpoles back into the murky water. “Your brother likes to smush ‘em, don’t he? But we’re gonna give ‘em a chance to see what bein’ frogs is all about. Isn’t that right?”

Summary
“Fuck off,” he’d eventually said, with rolled eyes and a half-hearted glare. And then he’d taken the money.
So yes, that had been the first time Spider had, in a roundabout way, paid him for sex.
But it wasn’t the last, and it only got more explicit.

Summary
“It was your fault, you know,” he says, bitterly. “You told me the wrong colours. You got me fired.” He drinks the whiskey again. “I’ve gone over it again and again in my head. I couldn’t have made a mistake — how the fuck could I have made a mistake? But it was you, wasn’t it? Whispering the wrong fucking details in my ear. Did you make a mistake or were you trying to get rid of me when you realised I was a commitment?”
James looks away. “I think—” his words come out slow and dangerously low “—that you should leave. Before I do something the both of us regret.”
Or; a missing pwp scene from my fic Half-Hearted Circles
*can be read as a stand-alone, but makes more sense in context!*
