Summary
"Kids?" Soap asks, curving his fingers into a silent okay to Ghost without thinking. "Plural?"
"Yes. A boy and a girl. Little Joseph was born a couple of months ago, according to the records."
"Oh," is all Soap says because oh. He has a nephew. A little baby nephew. And then, because that is apparently not enough of a revelation, the doctor says:
"You are listed as their legal guardian, Mr. MacTavish. We need you to pick them up."

Summary
Simon Riley, captain of the Manchester Soldiers, is one of the best goal scorers in the entire premier league. For some reason, however, he cannot score a goal against John MacTavish to save his life. It's driving him a little mad at this point.
When John gets booted from his team for a "breach of contract" Simon does his best to be professional, to welcome his new goalie. That's what good captains do. It's just a shame MacTavish is such an arrogant prick.

Summary
Yearning, Ghost realizes, aches even deeper than a bullet wound.
He’s trained himself not to desire, the same way he’s trained his body to sprint while in full tactical gear, the same way he’s trained his eyes to focus through a sniper scope for hours on end.
But he’s never wanted someone—anything—like he wants Soap.

Summary
The mission brief was simple, the words all familiar and put in an order that almost made Ghost bored. All goes well and he doesn't think twice about the sequence of events.
Except he wakes up to do it again. And again. And again. And he can't help but overthink his time with the man next to him.- Language:

Summary
In those last split seconds before it ends, there is intimacy.
In that shuddering gasp between stability and unimaginable force, a glance shared with another man - all those conversations you wanted to have but didn’t, all that useless yearning directed at nothing - his hand instinctively presses to the front of your kit in a pale echo of wish, of a boy’s last cry for his mother. Or a pat for a job well done; an impotent display of brotherhood at the edge of reality.
- - -
Simon and John struggle to lean on each other after their mutual discharge, navigating their trauma, feelings, and what it means to be intimate with another man.

Summary
Ghost turned around quicker than Soap thought possible for such a bulky man. He bent down to cage Soap in on the seat with a hand resting on each side on the armrests, looming over him. His expression was unreadable as he looked down at him and he in return looked up at him, forcing his mouth shut, any protests dying in his throat.
"I want you. Not anyone, you." He almost growled in a whisper and Soaps throat felt dry like sandpaper, he couldn´t help but swallow. His adams apple bobbed and Ghosts eyes followed the movement, expression again unreadable but he saw a glint of something in his eyes when he met Soaps eyes again.
"Okay." Soap answered in a whisper, licking his dry lips while unable to avert his gaze from brown eyes. Ghost looked down at his now split slick lips for a split second before turning away to the windows again, taking the warmth that had spread to Soaps limbs with him.
Oh. Oh.
Or:
Ghost is the CEO of a game develop company and Soap is a very overworked and hard working employee at said company.

Summary
Soap huffs, wiping the dried blood from his ear. He stares at his fingers for a long moment, then leans his head against the wall, staring out into the moonlight. “What if it didn’t have to be a mistake, huh? You and me. What if you could be happy?”
“I think that’s what I’m most afraid of.”
Or
When Ghost realised he was in love with Soap MacTavish, that realisation scared him beyond belief, and he cut himself off in response.
And he'd do anything to undo that mistake.

Ghost walks into his brother's home on Christmas eve to find his family slaughtered.
Well... most of them, his little nephew seemed to scrape by unharmed. Ghost's goals in life go from "revenge" to "raise this kid as best as I can"
But where does he even start? There was no guide to parenting, after all...
Thankfully there's a really cute Nursery teacher more than willing to help!

Summary
There was a loud knocking on the door. All three children were crying for their own reasons and Soap felt as if he’d lose his mind at any moment. It was so overwhelming. Somehow, war felt easier than this. “Leah, give your brother back his toy,” He commands softly, picking up Sophie from her rocker.
Leah yells out, “But I want it!”
“Yes,” Soap says, making his way to the door, “I understand but you snatched it from his hands. You have plenty of other toys you can play with.”
“No! I want this one.”
Alec sobs louder and Soaps head feels like it’s about to explode. Sophie needs to get fed, he’s aware. But right now so much is going on. How the hell did his sister do this?
“Leah-“ He’s cut off as he trips over a Lego set. He starts hopping on one foot, just inches from the door and has to bite his lips to stop himself from cursing. Sophie screams at the top of her lungs.
“I know,” He coos, “I’m sorry. I’ll get you fed in a moment.”
He adjusts her and throws open the door. On the other side is the last person he’d ever expect to see.

Soaps sister dies and leaves him her children. Ghost can’t return to work. he shows up on his doorstep, looking for a place to stay.

Summary
From the outside, Ghost is well adjusted. Cultured, educated and with an impressive career in the SAS, he seems like everything recruits and rookies could ever wish to be. Inwardly, he is falling apart.
He stumbles from manic episode into manic episode and is more lonely than anyone could know, his addictive cush on his sergeant also doesn't help the matter
It is when Soap asks him to spend their leaves together, that he makes a decision that will haunt him. Do everything Johnny wants, needs or dreams of because if Ghost is useful, maybe Johnny will finally love him.
(As always, this is fully finished and will be uploaded every few days :))

Summary
It should have been a no-brainer, really. Ghost should have balked at the thought of spending time in close proximity to any of his colleagues, let alone the one man that he actually had the potential to disappoint. That was his rule — distance meant safety.
It should have been an easy answer.

When the news of three weeks’ forced leave reaches Ghost, he’s resigned himself to loneliness in an empty base. That is, until a certain Sergeant offers him an invitation he just can’t seem to refuse.

Summary
An ongoing series where two touch-starved men figure out how to take care of each other in ways that no military field guide ever covered. Thankfully, when you already trust a person with your life, letting them see you at your most vulnerable isn't nearly as hard as it sounds.
Non-sexual intimacy, physical touch, a little angst, and a lot of comfort.

The Shield and the Shadow by a_platypus, Martuzzio, TrashBard

Summary
Ghost knows he's destined to spend the rest of his life going through the motions of being the sharp, shadowy knife those in power use to backstab one another. He's made peace with it. He's a professional. His newest contract, at least, seems promising. Taking down the head of the Royal Guard? A welcome challenge.
Sir John "Soap" MacTavish is far too busy to be fucking around in the frozen arse-end of Anfēowern. He's got an entire team of knights to direct, a king and a prince who are hell bent on making his life as difficult as possible, and an incoming visit from the king of a neighbouring country that will surely plunge his next few months into complete chaos. He’d love a day off. Fuck, he’d love five minutes off.
Fate must have a dark sense of humour, because Ghost and Soap are about to collide.
