Summary
Soap had felt safe. The ocean had been his home.
He was young, but he was skilled, was a quick learner.But humans wanted entertainment, and what humans wanted they took.
He did not know how long he had been stuck, stuck with cruel beings that viewed him as nothing more than a shiny curiosity to gawk at. They knew ways to make him do what they wanted.
He knew the rules now, knew not to vocalise, knew now not to bear his fangs.The marine biologist team around John Price and Kate Laswell want to help. They are a safe haven to heal, perhaps find a way back to the ocean, but first they have to gain his trust.
And then, there is Ghost, who too has met humanity at it's worst.

Summary
John “Soap” MacTavish is frozen under the weight of a singular glowing golden eye. Its vertical pupil dilates and contracts and Soap swears he can feel the physical weight of a touch skimming over his body as it trails up and down him, assessing. The touch feels as if a singular sharp claw is being dragged over his skin, holding him in place with the silent threat of evisceration should he so much as breathe.
So he doesn’t breathe, he doesn’t move, he can’t even bring himself to look away from that eye as he’s studied; as his fate is decided by the sleek, inky black creature standing just a few feet in front of him.
Soap’s skin feels as if it’s burning under the weight of that stare, but he’s finally able to take a breath in. He lets it out through his nose slowly, quietly, and is careful not to move as he tries to convince his body he isn’t in danger.
But he isn’t convinced. . . isn’t even close, and as he’s able to finally tear his gaze away from the one eye that he can see, he becomes almost sure that he is in danger.

Summary
Simon Riley has spent years perfecting the art of invisibility. On the top floor of an old building, hidden behind his coldness and his silence, he lives exactly as he's always wanted: alone.
Until his landlord betrays his promise and a new tenant moves in on the landing opposite. He'd sworn that no one would ever come to disturb him.John MacTavish is everything Simon hates. Loud. Warm. Determined to turn an empty corridor into something resembling a neighbourhood.
Simon never wanted any of this.
Yet he finds himself faced with a neighbour who seems far too determined to approach him.(mild smut in chapters 18, 21, and 25, just so you know)

Summary
Fucking hell what was he even doing? He wasn’t a model. Who wanted to look at an ex-soldier going on 40? And not even a particularly fit one at that.
He sucked his belly in and flexed, feeling like an idiot. Like this, though, he looked a lot like he did in the SAS. Maybe that’d fool the artist?
Or: Ghost is a retired soldier with too much time and money on his hands. Soap is an art student with too little of both. An ad for modeling that Soap puts out brings them together and Ghost gradually learns how to love his new life.

Summary
John tucks his nose into the crook of Simon’s neck, cold against the fabric of his mask, and Simon can only hold him tighter, letting his own scent wash away every trace of the other alpha.
“Johnny.”
The name comes unbidden to his lips, Simon able to feel the shiver that wracks Soap’s body, the goosebumps that prickle his skin. John’s fingers tighten in his shirt, warm breath against the cloth at Simon’s neck. He’s so close, the scent of him soothing over Simon’s own skin like a balm to the ache that lives buried deep inside of him.
He knows he should say something, do something, but he’s frozen, rooted to the spot.
Johnny is his best friend. His best fucking friend in the entire world and while he knows the man won’t speak on what happened tonight, Simon is offering whatever comfort he can.
But maybe it’s not his to offer. Maybe the reason Johnny went out tonight is because he’s looking for something.
