    Summary

    It started, as most things in the 141 did, with a good natured ribbing and a bet.

    “Oh come on mate, come off it, there’s no way the story behind your callsign is classified!” Gaz half shouts. He’s not quite drunk yet, but he is tipsy enough that his control on his volume has become tenuous.

    Soap only grins and shrugs. “What can Ah say?” 

    Alejandro and Rudy groan in frustration. Even Ghost is drawn into the proceedings. “Do you know?” he rumbles at Price.

    Their Captain shakes his head. “No, the muppet won’t tell me either.”

    OR

    No one in the 141 knows how Soap got the name Soap, but they are determined to find out. AKA. How many stories can I make up about Soap's callsign?

    Summary

    When a mission gone wrong leaves John "Soap" MacTavish in a coma in a foreign hospital, the language barrier turns Simon "Ghost" Riley into Soap's husband instead of his partner.

    What begins as a bureaucratic mistake snowballs into a full-blown fake marriage as Ghost is forced keep up the ruse in order to deal with hospital staff, paperwork, and, to his horror, very real in-laws.

    By the times Soap wakes up, he has acquired a very devoted husband the nurses swoon over and his parents have accepted into the family.

    As Soap recovers, he and Ghost try to navigate their growing feelings as the line between pretend and fake starts to blur. By the time Soap is cleared for active duty again, they must figure out what their relationship really is… and whether the fake marriage everyone believes in might not be so fake after all.

    Summary

    Freshly discharged due to an injury, John finds himself thrust into the mundane before he's ready. A quaint little neighborhood with people surprisingly eager to welcome him in.

    That is, aside from one. Simon—a man he nicknames Ghost—who is far too protective over his neighbors for his own good.

    With the aid of a gaggle of lovely old ladies, John and Simon manage to overcome their initial reservations, and give each other a reluctant second chance.

    Summary

    When Simon “Ghost” Riley left the military after years of service, he never expected civilian life would include so much socialising, especially with coworkers. He manages to avoid it all by telling a small lie: he has a boyfriend. A perfect, convenient, totally-not-real boyfriend who keeps him “busy” on evenings and weekends.

    Problem solved, one would think. Until the mandatory company Christmas gala demands attendance of said boyfriend.

    Ghost is reluctantly introduced to one John “Soap” MacTavish, a charming mechanic who is willing to help out. It should’ve been simple: pretend to be in a relationship, fake a few smiles, have a few drinks, and done.

    Except one night of pretending to be a couple turns into texts, favours, and a growing friendship neither of them expected. Now, Ghost finds himself tangled in something dangerously close to happiness and has to face the truth: his fake boyfriend might just be the most real thing he’s ever had.

    Summary

    Simon finds a fragile anchor in Soap's heavily pregnant sister Mary, and later her newborn son JJ, as they navigate their shared grief. Meanwhile, Soap's estranged family pursues their own agenda.

    Summary

    When he looked properly, he couldn't tear his eyes away. His gaze dragged over Soap's tan skin, most of it exposed save for the lacy black panties with skull patterns embedded in the lace, and the harness that cupped his pecs beautifully, making them look plush and full. A headband with devil horns sat atop his head, bright red and pointy.

    "You're wearin' this?" Ghost asked, trying to keep the disbelief out of his voice.

    "No." Soap huffed in amusement, "I'm gonna be a devil, Simon. I haven't finished with the costume. This," He gestured to his current state of dress, "Was supposed tae be a surprise fer you… later."

    Understanding flashed through Ghost's eyes, his gaze darkened as he stalked forward like a predator.

    "We can be late for the party."

    Summary

    “Christ,” Soap muttered. “Feels like a bloody shoebox.”

    Ghost’s shoulders moved in what might’ve been a shrug. “Better than a tent.”

    “Aye, well when you put it like that,” Soap conceded with an eye roll. He dumped his gear by the other bed and sat down, the springs creaking loud in the confined space. “Thought they’d at least separate us by rank.”

    “They’re short on rooms.” Ghost’s voice was flat, matter-of-fact. “We’ll manage.”

    Soap nodded, but the unease lingered. They were used to having space, each with their own private corner of the barracks. Sleeping near Ghost wasn’t new, but that had always been under fire, adrenaline running hot enough to drown out any stray thoughts.

    ——————
    Soap and Ghost are forced to share a room on a different base, what could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    A chance meet-up in London during mandated leave didn't seem possible, but somehow Soap finds himself living with his Lieutenant in his flat. And his Lieutenant, the famous, feared Ghost, turns out to be an extremely well-adjusted civilian with a flat, a cat, and a bunch of old ladies who adopted him on the spot. In contrast, Soap doesn't remember what's it like to know how to act outside of the military.

    Throughout the leave, Soap learns from Ghost - only this time, he's learning how to be a person, outside of being a solider. Through cooking, cleaning, shopping, living, he finds home. And, of course, it was always right there, with Simon

     

    or what if ghost is the well-adjusted, post-therapy one out of them? cue soap learning to live next to ghost's cat, knitted sweaters, sweet elderly neighbours, and a bunch of kids his lieutenant acquired

    Summary

    It was just another evening of scrolling his phone, and Soap had stumbled onto a new distraction

    A pair of large hands wearing clean, black nitrile gloves. A gorgeous butcher-block counter. A chef’s knife that probably cost two months' pay. A cast iron skillet that probably cost three months’ pay. A chunk of Wagyu beef that made Soap’s mouth water and his wallet recoil.

    Tonight, Soap was watching the most pretentious, over-the-top food preparation he had ever seen.
