This Could Have Been an Email (But It's Three Weeks in a Cabin Instead) by Horny on Comms (RedSkyNight)
Fandoms: Call of Duty (Video Games)
05 Nov 2025

Summary
Two months after their first hunt, Ghost invites Soap to spend three weeks at his cabin in the Highlands. No running this time, just... time. But when Price announces that Roach—Ghost's former partner who knew him before the mask—is joining the team, Ghost starts to spiral. Soap finds himself jealous of a man he's never met, questioning what he and Ghost even are to each other.
Over the course of three weeks that span Christmas and New Year's, they'll have to navigate jealousy, define their relationship, decide whether to tell Price and Gaz, and figure out if Ghost can finally trust someone enough to show them his face. It's messy and complicated and neither of them knows the rules, but maybe that's okay.

Summary
“You know why," Ghost said quietly.
And Soap did. Had known since that first morning on the trails. Had felt it building between them for months—this dark pull, this inevitability.
When Ghost gives him coordinates to meet alone in the woods on Halloween night, Soap has one choice to make: walk away from whatever this is, or run headfirst into the darkness and see what's waiting for him there.
He chooses to run.

Summary
If one asked any of the former clans of the North, the story of King MacTavish and the North Star, they might say that the sorcerer fell into a trap laid by clever King MacTavish. That he bound the White Wolf’s wrists and feet and put him in a collar of cold iron to suppress his magic, brought him to his stronghold and tortured him into obedience. Others might say that the White Wolf came of his own accord.
Others, those who look over their shoulders and know they speak of treason, might hint that it was North Star who found the King first, that he lured King MacTavish into his lair and put him under a spell, seduced him and made the King fall in love with him, to whatever end he might have.
Still others claim that their union was ordained by the gods, that they gave the King a vision when he was a boy, tied the red string of fate to both their hands, and that it is a blessing indeed, to unite magic and might under one banner and keep their people safe.
Naturally, none of these stories are true.

Summary
“We don’t eat children,” Ghost finally mutters, because it’s annoying him, and his shoulders ache, and he can’t believe that rumor actually got any traction. Why would dragons eat children? They’re hardly more than a mouthful.
To his surprise, Soap laughs. “I ken,” he replies, grinning when Ghost turns to look at him. “And ye don’t keep virgins for a hundred years to ripen ‘em up, and ya don’t even hoard all that badly. I’m no’ daft.”
“Could’a fooled me,” Ghost mutters.
“Ye attacked me in the dead of night when I was asleep, used yer fuckin’ dark magic on me,” Soap snaps. “In a fair fight I’da won.”
Ghost snorts again, ashy and hot behind his mask. “Unlikely.”
“Take off these bonds and we’ll see then, eh?”

Summary
"I'll be moving on soon. The problem I was here for is dealt with. As my best customer I figured you should know."
A confusing mix of emotions rises in Soap at that, muddies his thoughts like disturbed silt. His nostrils flare as he snorts, lowering his muzzle so the knight cannot see the unhappy twist of his wide mouth. His ears press back. He'll admit keeping himself fed has been a lot easier with the knight's semi-weekly delivery; he hasn't had to hunt, lure, or trick for his meals in ages. But Soap has lived for many, many long years, and knows he will not go hungry.
He's…sad, he realizes. Upset that he will no longer be able to catch a glimpse of this knight, with his golden hair and masked face. He's grown accustomed to it, dare he say looks forward to their routine, even though the knight has only ever spoken to him the last time he was here.

Summary
So when Paddy, crossing the Place des Vosges one late summer afternoon, caught sight of a familiar, lanky figure reclining on one of the benches there and felt the old spark of interest light him up again, he was taken by surprise but he was not surprised. After all, he thought, he’d always quite fancied Bill Stirling.
Bill and Paddy meet for the first time before they’re ready for each other. The spark is there but everything else is wrong. They meet a second time and then a third but it isn’t until years later when their paths cross in Paris that they are both in a place where a relationship between them might work—if they can let go of the hurts and tragedies of their pasts and embrace the possibilities of a future together.

Summary
Soap smirks, leaning back into the chair. “Aye. Well, I do like makin’ an entrance.”
Ghost’s eyes gleam, the hint of amusement barely concealed. “Nearly made an exit.”
------------
During a mission in Cairo, Soap gets beaten half to death. Ghost saves him, at a cost: he now has a chip in his brain and must learn to live with it. If his body rejects it, he will die. Also, they’re like really horny. Constant on-field banter. Shameless flirting. High-stakes smut.

Summary
“You can probably guess what we’re doing today.” Ghost was still looking at him, expressionless once again.
“Going into town, getting a pint and entirely giving up on my knife skills?” Johnny joked, knowing there was no way out of this one.
Ghost ignored him.
“Pick a blade, and we’ll start training with that type.”
After Ghost sees Soap’s lack of skill with knives in action, he takes it upon himself to change that. Good thing he does, because later down the line it makes the difference between life and death.

Summary
When he had woken, it was to a skull swimming in and out of his vision, and for a second he figured that the reaper had come to claim his wretched soul. It didn’t scare him much; after all, he had long since accepted his meeting with death would come early in this job. He would have liked to work in the 141 longer than he had, however. He liked his teammates, liked Captain Price and his funny moustache and strong leadership, liked Gaz and his like minded humour and youthful honesty. He liked the big, scary Ghost, even if he hadn’t delved as deeply into the mysteries of that man as he wanted to.
The skull was talking to him.“I’m not the grim reaper, you overdramatic wanker.”

Soap falls in love during a war that doesn't have room for such feelings.

Summary
Ghost hadn’t celebrated Christmas in… well, ever really. The day wasn’t ever a joyful affair when he was a boy, and so he never felt any nostalgia for the holiday, never mourned its absence in his life. He wasn’t actively hostile against Christmas, despite Soap occasionally calling him the Grinch in playful jabs; he simply didn’t care.
And so, once again, Ghost tried to remember how exactly he’d been convinced to join John MacTavish for a Christmas with his entire family in Scotland. The thought alone was enough to send his pulse into near frenzy.
When Soap somehow convinces Ghost to join him in Scotland on the 24th of December, Simon Riley has to grapple with some of his worst fears: jolly traditions and social gatherings.

Summary
“Steamin’ bloody Jesus,” Soap breathes. “How often does he do this?”
Gaz turns, then, and meets his eye. “Us, and Price… We’re the only ones who’d live to talk about it,” he says. “It’s a last resort.” He reaches out, then, and puts his hand on Soap’s arm. “Being his handler means being the one to call the shots, Soap. We’re the only bloody things he cares about. Everything else is fodder. If you ever have to make this call, you better be damn sure you don’t care about survivors, because there won’t be any.”
Price had been so eager to give the order. Imagine holding the nuke in your hands, knowing that you’ll be the only thing to survive its detonation. Imagine being Noah, but with the power to call the Flood whenever he wished.
Soap shivers, something not altogether kind or good curling around his brainstem at the notion.
Whether Gaz clocks it or not, he can’t say, but he eventually murmurs, “You’ll need a psych eval after this. We all get one after Ghost smokes out. Even him.”
Soap frowns. “Why?”
Gaz shrugs. “You’ll have to ask him. Personally, I think we all like it a bit too much.”
Soap blushes, and doesn’t have the words for why.

“Who. The fuck. Are you?”
“Uh.” Bill scrambled to his feet then stood there, failing entirely in his efforts not to stare. “I’m Bill Stirling. David Stirling’s older brother. David sent me to fetch you.”
“Fetch me?” Paddy Mayne’s gaze raked over him, trailed slowly from his face down his body then back up to his face again. His eyes—deep blue, sharp and intelligent—met Bill’s. “Aye,” he drawled. “I reckon you could.”
Then that beautiful mouth curled into a smile
Oh, Bill thought. Oh no. Oh, fuck.Paddy and Bill drive the length of the UK, from Cornwall to Scotland, on their way to David's wedding. Numerous circumstances befall them along the way, including, much to their annoyance, falling in love.

Summary
Ghost finally understands why he's seen so many soldiers count down the days until leave. As he looks at Soap, looks at where they are, what they're doing, how far they've come—when he looks at all of it... he gets it.
Of course, the flip side of leave, means that there's far too much free time to think. This, for Ghost, is something he's dealt with over the years to little success. But when he's got Soap, the good far outweighs any of the bad. The bright days outshine the hard nights. And the things that haunt them, even half a world a way, fade into the background.

Summary
He found, to his surprise, that he actually missed the sight of Bill Stirling slouching towards him across war-torn villages, his face like a thundercloud. He missed their sparring, missed the brief, bright flare of true companionship between them and the promise it had held. Which was perhaps why, when Bill wrote to him at the Ayrshire camp, a letter sent from his estate barely thirty miles away, Paddy took the letter to a private place and read it carefully. And then, almost without meaning to, he wrote back.
Bill and Paddy strike up an unlikely correspondence in Scotland which survives the war and lasts for years. As their friendship strengthens and deepens, as it teeters on the dangerous edge of something more, they help each other through difficult times and hard decisions and realisations about who they truly are, until, in the end, they find their way back where they belong.
With each other.

Summary
Ghost has a history, he has to, right? And Soap doesn't know nearly as much as he'd like, but that's alright with him. Man's entitled to some secrets, isn't he?
That's fine, right up until Soap decides to bust out his sweet red skull mask for a mission and oops! He's not the only one! Mace has a red mask, too, and a history with Ghost, and he isn't shy about letting Soap know about it.
Don't be fooled though, this is actually a story of how Ghost ended up with a red skull mask.
When the season five trailer that included cowboy Ghost in a red mask dropped, I initially thought it was Mace. And I took that to an angsty conclusion, as I often do.

Summary
"Bloody Jesus." Soap shook his head, weapon down again, heart still high in his throat. "One of these days someone is gonna shoot ye for being a creep."
Ghost didn't even blink at that, fully stepping out of the small shadow that had been partially obscuring his bulk. He was geared up as usual, if usual meant having to take on an entire platoon by himself.
"I would like to see them try", he rumbled.
--------
Or, five times Ghost did Soap a favor and the one time Soap had paid him back.

Summary
One-Shot
Set a while after the events of Las Almas. The face reveal never happened, and Soap is struggling with his undeniable attraction and feelings he has towards his Lieutenant— as well as the jealousy and hurt he feels having never seen his face.
Ghost is slightly less emotionally constipated than one would expect, but is blind to the affects his trepidation at uncovering his anonymity has on Johnny.
They both find comfort in one another, as well as the relief of finally exposing themselves to their emotions and the benefits of honesty… and learning how to truly trust one another.

Summary
This… this was becoming dangerous. It was right there in front of him, encapsulated in that one single word. The need of it. Their terrible symbiosis.
They were sewn together by breakable thread. Surgeon’s sutures, harsh knots over bloody wounds, not made to last, just willing to hold them together long enough to keep their blood in. They’d learned to avoid sharp objects, their conversations carefully side-stepping the knife-edges of words that threatened to sever each stitch.
—
When a routine mission goes haywire, Soap and Ghost are left stranded deep in the mountains of Eastern Europe. Left alone, injured and reeling with the aftermath, honesty seems come to the surface between them a lot more easily than usual.
