    Summary

    For a long time, the 141 has been exclusively birds.

    This isn’t by design; a lot of those that choose to go spec ops are birds, or particularly well-suited breeds of dogs and cats, the occasional mustelid and, for one particular mission where they’d had to house a foreign unit, a very inconvenient bull. Usually, though, it’s animals that are good in small groups as well as large ones, groups that can form flocks and packs and colonies, respectively.

    They are a flock, mismatched and odd though they are, and Ghost has always assumed that, should they welcome a fourth into their unit, for a trial run or otherwise, their prime candidates would be other birds.

    Summary

    In which Soap is not a morning person, but Ghost is just the right sort of person for him.

    But he found with time that the more he woke with purpose, the less he minded the early hour. Maybe that was his incessant need for control, despite being in the military - an institution famous for controlling you. And again. If his LT running alongside him to have silent and severe company made his morning that much sweeter… so much the better.

    Summary

    There was work to do–rounds to count, med supplies to take stock of, coordinates to figure out, but this was rare, this moment. Soap so still, so peaceful. Not clawing his vicious way through every interaction like he had to best life itself. Like every breath was a bloody battle he had to win.

    Ghost’s boots made the questionable floorboards creak as he took one, two steps forward, until he was standing over Soap, the sunset casting his long shadow across his sergeant’s sleeping body, engulfing him within its dark outline.

    Summary

    A mission during Mardi Gras makes Soap reassess where things stand between him and Ghost.

    ----------------------------------------

    “What happened to keeping it tactical, Si?”

    “He made it personal, Johnny.”

    “Oh.”

    Ghost’s words were as close to a confession as he was going to get tonight. Simon would have chosen Johnny over the mission.
