Summary
"L 98-59 should be visible to the naked eye, but it has completely vanished. I checked the coordinates four times. The star is freaking gone."
Grace voices shakes while he announces his findings to Rocky. He doesn't know why the discovery fills him with so much dread. 98-59 was a red dwarf to begin with – nothing more than a light snack to the Astrophage. Still. Four planets in close orbit. One in the habitable zone. And he doesn’t even believe in that goldilocks zone hogwash, so as far as he knows, that’s four planets missing their sun.
"Do you think-" he tries to swallow around the dry lump that had formed in his throat. "Do you think there was life? On those planets?"
---
Rocky and Grace rescue a human being trapped in a submarine on an alien planet. As it turns out, that is the easiest part.

Summary
Soap’s arm fucking hurts. Radiating pain down into his fingertips with each painful pulse of his heart, a white-blinding burn each time the car is jostled by the road. Christ.
Next to him, Ghost keeps his eyes resolutely on the road. Staring out at the dark street as if he expects Phillip Graves himself to jump out in front of the flickering headlights at any minute, and maybe he does, fuck, Soap wouldn't blame him.
---
After Las Almas, driving through the empty streets of Mexico in a stolen truck, Soap and Ghost blur the lines between deference and devotion.

Summary
“You don’t want to leave,” Ghost tells him. “You just don’t want to go back.”
“Isn’t that the same thing?” Soap runs a hand through his hair. The tips of his ears have gone red. They should leave soon, but Ghost won’t move until Soap does. “I don’t want to go back. I’m tired.”
“If you go,” he decides, “I’d follow you.”

Summary
“Not old.” A scar ran down the side of Ghost’s face, perpendicular to the cut of his jawline, and it shifted as he spoke, “Younger than Price.”
“Really?” Soap’s stool scraped across the floor as he tugged it closer. Far too close for two grown, military sculpted men to be to each other but Soap had had at least two tequila shots even before he’d started on his next drinks, so it felt like nothing at all to be able to smell that Ghost was clean. No blood. No dirt. Clean, washed skin underneath his clothes and mask, “I mean, that wee glance you gave us of your mug back before the raid wasn’t much to go on.”
“Thought you might have gone rifling through my file.”
-----
Or: Ghost and Soap are the last ones left in the bar after the final MW2 mission, knees touching, and Soap can't help himself. Can't stop the little, needling shit that lives in the back of his head and cajoles him into pushing himself into Ghost's vision. 'Just a snog, sir. We don't have to tell.' Except, it's not really that easy, is it?

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.
