Summary
An alternate first meeting, where Ghost and Soap meet each other in the field under infinitely worse circumstances than either of them would have liked:
Ghost wakes up in a pit under a building with a bomb attached to him, certain he's going to die. Soap, an EOD tech amongst his other specialties, is the only person available to at least try to save him. It should be fraught, and tense, and miserable all around, and it is; a whole lot of Ghost slowly losing his mind while Soap does everything he can to save his life. But it would probably be easier if Ghost wasn't a stress-flirter, and if Soap wasn't the kind of endlessly competent that he loved, and if, by virtue of their situation, they didn't keep ripping open each other's wounds and then patching each other back up again after.

Summary
Soap and Ghost have an arrangement. It's not sexual.
Though Soap isn’t sure exactly what it is.
Whatever his lieutenant needs to do to get his head right is his own business, and Soap, ever-eager to be of use to the man, will help however he can. Even if that’s by wearing women’s panties under his tactical gear and letting Ghost pull him aside during missions to inspect it.

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
Soap has no idea what he's doing to Ghost. Gaz very much does and is not above having a little fun at the lieutenant's expense.

Note: this is a mostly episodic series, so every chapter is pretty self-contained and could technically be a satisfying end. Just leaving it open in case I randomly add more, but there's no definitive schedule. Subscribe to get notified about updates!

Summary
A loosely connected series of GhostSoap fics based on my own headcannons, through the course of their relationship. They won't necessarily be posted in order, but they will be ordered chronologically as they are posted. Based on prompts for whumptober, angstober, and flufftober, there will be a lot of whump, hurt/comfort, and some spice later on. Heed the tags!

Summary
After a mission gone wrong leaves Simon “Ghost” Riley deaf in one ear and Johnny “Soap” MacTavish with a permanent leg injury, both men are forced into early retirement. Soap uses his pension to buy a crumbling house on the edge of a quiet town, determined to make something of it, even if the place looks like it should’ve come with a tetanus shot.
Ghost shows up with a duffel bag and his usual scowl, moving into the guest room to help with renovations. Between faulty wiring, leaking pipes, and a fridge that seems to growl at two a.m., the two of them fall into a new rhythm of grocery runs, hardware store trips, and late-night fixes. The banter is sharp, the silences softer than either expected, and somewhere between the broken walls and peeling paint, they begin to rebuild more than just the house.
It’s a story about finding purpose when the battlefield is gone, about healing old wounds in the comfort of shared domestic chaos, and about realizing that sometimes “home” isn’t a place, it’s each other.

Summary
He tries to be a good sub, he does. But it's hard. He isn't small, he isn't slight, he doesn't enjoy pain, and he doesn't know how to back down when he knows he's right. It's harder when he's teetering on the edge of a drop, and he knows he needs to go down, wants it almost more than he wants his next breath, but he can't. He's tried, tried to let himself go in the rec room like his Major ordered, tried to find someone in his unit to help him. Hell, he's even tried to go down to the youtube videos of Dom's voices. It's dangerous as fuck to go down alone, but he's desperate. If he can't find a way to get himself down, he'll be benched. and if he can't go on missions, he'll have nothing.
He knows he's a lot. Knows he's too loud, too opinionated, too hard to get down, too hard to keep down, too needy when he is down. But he doesn't know how to stop.

Summary
Soap was already stretched out on his bed in nothing but his underwear when John walked into the room. Laid out luxuriantly, head pillowed on his arms and one leg hanging off the bed to show off miles of smooth, golden skin, he looked ridiculously indulgent - an indulgence John still couldn’t quite believe he was allowed to have. His round muscles were soft and lax, melting into the bed and shiny with the oil Ghost was using on him, the mild scent of almonds drifting through the room and mingling with the usual smells of sweat, laundry, Tiger Balm, and blood.
Ghost and Price make good on their promise of a massage, and Soap reaps the rewards...But Price is realising he might have bitten off more than he can chew, with these two.
This is a direct sequel to Take a Bite and Let it Linger and will not really make much sense if you haven't read that one!

Summary
Ghost finally understands why he's seen so many soldiers count down the days until leave. As he looks at Soap, looks at where they are, what they're doing, how far they've come—when he looks at all of it... he gets it.
Of course, the flip side of leave, means that there's far too much free time to think. This, for Ghost, is something he's dealt with over the years to little success. But when he's got Soap, the good far outweighs any of the bad. The bright days outshine the hard nights. And the things that haunt them, even half a world a way, fade into the background.

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.

Summary
Morning coffee with Price. Evening food runs with Gaz. Ghost at night. Like clockwork. Like… they’d planned it.
“You’re takin’ shifts,” Soap said, staring.
Price didn’t look up. “Aye.”
“You—what?”
“Making sure you’re following orders.” He flicked the paper to a new page, as if this was the most mundane admission in the world. “And that you’ve got what you need.”

Summary
A traumatised lieutenant, an oblivious sergeant and an unsuspecting family meet up in a Scottish farmstead… What sounds like the beginning of a bad joke is actually Ghost’s current reality. He has no clue how the fuck Soap managed to drag him into the Highlands to meet his parents– okay, yeah, he does. He’s stupidly in love with his Johnny; there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do for him, including making a complete fool out of himself trying to fit into Soap’s family.
If only he could fit in. If only he knew how to act like a regular human being. If only he wasn’t a monster.
Maybe then, he could figure out a way to keep Soap.

Summary
Soap approaches him as soon as he enters the gym. “There you are, Sir! Ready to go down?”
Ghost huffs. “In your dreams, MacTavish.”
“Nah, Lt. In my dreams, I’m the one going down. Come on!” He winks and walks away to an empty sparring mat.
+++
The new guy in the 141, Soap, doesn't have a filter when it comes to flirting. Ghost has no idea how to cope with that. He can't afford to lose face in front of his peers, so he decides to just... play along.
The problem is, they keep getting closer, so Soap decides they must be dating. In fact, it is so obvious, everyone agrees- everyone but oblivious Ghost.
He is just happy to make a friend, to finally be able to share his past with someone, until he slowly realizes his feelings are growing into much more than friendship.Series

Summary
“Let me be clear: it would require a huge sacrifice,” Price said, and Soap got the feeling Price was now addressing him and only him. “A lot of things would still change. But, if we do it, we wouldn’t have to add anyone new to the team, and we’d fulfill the requirements of the mandate.”
Price looked around the room slowly, finally landing back on Soap.
“Sergeant MacTavish, you’re the one we’re asking to make this sacrifice.”
This time he was sure everyone was looking at him. He squared his shoulders, tried to shrug off the apprehension Price’s words inspired, and faced Price head-on.
“You know I’ll do it if I can, Captain. Tell me what you want me to do.”
Price took a breath, hesitated, then cleared his throat. The air was still and thick. No one else moved a muscle.
“Soap, there’s no delicate way to say this. We want to bitch you.”
Soap’s ears started ringing. He felt his face go hot.
“Come again?”

Summary
Ghost is haunted by visions of the fated omega he’d rejected years ago whilst on leave, intent to live his life without ever seeing him again.
When Soap joins the 141, Ghost is hellbent on suppressing his inescapable attraction to his omega, and the unstoppable mating instincts overcoming his senses.
That is, until he very much isn’t.
