    Summary

    “D’ya know who I am?” Ghost asked, and Soap thought it almost arrogant. When he met his eyes, however, he could only see a genuine curiosity.
    “I dinnae ken,” Soap mused. “Think I’ve seen that mask on a poster before.” He pointed at the skull with a teasing smile, hoping it came across as an attempt at banter rather than a white lie.
    Ghost’s laugh was low, barely perceptible.
    “That’s likely, yeah."
    Ghost twisted the beer bottle back and forth on the table, dragging water around as the glass scraped against the wood, clearly contemplating something.
    “Simon,” he said. Soap nearly choked on his beer.

    or, John "Soap" MacTavish is a bounty hunter looking for the biggest score of his career: the faceless, nameless Ghost. He finds him in Saint Denis, tucked away in a secret saloon that brings forth feelings Soap has been trying to deny his whole life. Faced with the opportunity, he decides to try his hand at seduction to get Ghost alone. It works far better than expected. It also couldn't have gone more wrong.

    Summary

    "Thoughts?"
    "Would hate to be on your bad side, Lt." (No, he wouldn't actually.)
    Ghost hmms, arms crossing over each other as he scoots lower into his chair, lifting his hips to adjust himself. Soap can't help but to glance down at the movement.
    "Better go, Johnny."

    Summary

    “So, not that I’m complaining, or anything,” Gaz starts, and Soap knows he’s in for it, “But how come I’m not being traumatized by sexual harassment on the comms anymore?”

    Soap chews his eggs slowly, because Gaz is his best mate, and he doesn’t want to lie to him, but it’s not exactly as if he can just say “Icarus’d it, mate, flew too close to the damn sun and got burnt and now it’s over.”

    He shrugs a little instead, obfuscates, says, “Dunno.”

    “Well that’s bollocks,” Gaz scoffs, “Wanna try again?”

    Summary

    “Almost there, Lt,” he grunts, lurching forward with Ghost’s weight. He’s no help at all in trekking across the snow and ice — his little dip in the river courtesy of a now-dead terrorist has rendered him dangerously hypothermic, and Soap’s panic grows with each ragged, wheezing inhale. At least he’s still breathing, Soap thinks grimly before he shakes his head, shoves everything down to the back of his mind to be dealt with later — his fear, his exhaustion, the ache in his bones, all of it is neatly compartmentalised until there’s only the safehouse.

    One step at a time, he marches them onwards.

    Or, four times Ghost and Soap take turns taking care of each other, and one time it's mutual.

    Summary

    Here's the thing. Ghost hasn't thought with his dick, literally, in years- he hasn't thought about fucking anyone, not even in passing. He genuinely hadn't realized that Soap was hot for him. So it's such a fucking shock, how hard it hits him now. Soap, all that exuberant, combative attention, focused down on Ghost like the rest of the bar doesn't exist. And he likes Soap, he knew he did, and it's just a bit of a surprise to realize that yeah, he also really wants to fuck Soap.

    Summary

    On the 21st November 2023, Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish was killed in action in the Eurotunnel, 7km off the coast of Folkestone.

    Except the heavily redacted report is all a lie and the emotional scattering of his ashes is all an act.

    This is the story of how he survives, how the 141 fake his death, and how he recovers - with Ghost right by his side.

    A realistic fic about Soap recovering from a traumatic brain injury and discovering which parts of himself are left, and which parts Makarov stole from him. Full of hurt and comfort, angst and humour, this is a slow burn Ghost/Soap getting together fic with a happy ending.

    Summary

    Long before the creation of the 141, Sergeant Simon Lamont (who will later become Lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Riley) is in charge of training Corporal John “Soap” MacTavish and his platoon for an upcoming mission. It’s quite hard for him in a couple ways.

    Or: What if Ghost and Soap met when they were lower ranks?

    Summary

    Ghost was still sore. Most specifically, about the fact that the moment he had tried to get back to Soap, still in bed in his motel room back in Chicago, they had been told they needed to leave almost immediately. Bundled into a plane and sent home to sit, stony faced, at a debriefing that was miserable and tedious. One which even Laswell looked annoyed to be at, which Ghost chalked up to the fact that she had a beautiful wife, and a crusty little dog that needed walking, waiting at home.

    Soap had glanced at him across the table, bottom lip jutting out until he caught himself and it was sucked back up into an expression that resembled something a bit more professional. But, Simon could see it in his eyes. The disappointment.

    -----

    a sequel to caught me gawking, set directly after Ghost and Soap have returned, post-shagging and post-post-final MW2 mission in Chicago. Soap's in a jam and Ghost is in the shit because despite his neatly defined outward flaws, like being incomprehensible half the time, he's quite enjoying Soap's company.

    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

    “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.

    Summary

    “Left you a gift, Johnny,” Ghost answers.

    “Aye?” Soap says and Ghost can about hear his grin. “I’m quakin’ in excitement, Lt.”

    Soap leaves his mic on and Ghost can hear the creaking of the door open and the soft rustle of Soap's tac gear as he walks over to the body.

    A sharp intake of breath and then a low whistle.

    “Careful, Lt,” Soap rumbles, accent noticeably thicker, “bloody gifts like these, might think yer courtin’ me proper. The old way at least.”

    And that's how it starts.

    Summary

    If you told Soap the second time he’d see Ghost’s face was in a shitty bar on a shittier block of Chicago… Well, he might have asked for a little more pomp and circumstance. At least then he’d have an excuse for the way he could hear his blood pumping faster in his ears and why he could feel it, hot and burning behind his eyes.

    Summary

    The maiming of the kill comes naturally, as easy as taking a breath with Ghost congratulating him on a job well done. The scraps of praise, the hints of veiled approval in Ghost’s voice has the knife of Soap’s longing twisting deeper each time. Soap has to catch himself from immediately seeking out Ghost’s eye the moment a body he slices slumps to the ground. From extending a hand out to touch, like a dog waiting for its master to give a pat on the head. But in the quiet of the night, Soap is uncontrollably restless.

    Soap wants him. Desperately.

    Summary

    John's on the side of the road with a busted car motor and not a cent to his name. He's about to call it and make the trek back into town on foot, until he hears a rumbling pick-up truck come around the bend. He smooths back his damp, loose mohawk before he moves to the side of the car to lean against the door, pushing out his chest to display his tattoos and plastering on his winning smile.

    It works—hook, line and sinker as the truck slows to a crawl. The door slams shut, and when the owner appears from behind, John swallows hard, his throat growing dry from more than just the heat with his heart thumping an unfamiliar swing in his chest.

    Summary

    Ghost is a man of unwavering control, both on the job and in his personal life. In the name of keeping things tactical, he absolutely cannot let the new, young Sergeant become a distraction.

    Soap, however, is nothing if not distracting, with his shameless, unambiguous interest and intoxicating scent—and no matter how hard Ghost tries to nip it in the bud, his instincts seem to know better what his body really needs.
