    Summary

    “I was licensed for two years, before I let the thing lapse.”

    Logically, MacTavish knew he shouldn’t have been surprised. Riley was full of surprises, the lieutenant housed a myriad of talents that you’d only find out about during the most obscure moments. Like the time Ghost had re-wired a tank when they needed the armor to get out of a sticky situation.

    “And how long ago was that?”

    “Four years.”

    “Reassuring.”

     

    Or the one in which the team is stuck in an abandoned town and Ghost comes to their rescue with a little known secret

    Summary

    "Say 'Soap'."

    "Soap."

    "Great! Now call me Soap."

    "You do not have permissions to change names registered in the database, Sir MacTavish. Only the Captain is allowed to make changes."

    Soap groans, "I swear yer doing it on purpose just to me, Ghostie."

    "Negative." the robotic bastard replies. He'll get him one day.

    ------

    Sir John "Soap" MacTavish is part of the British Order of Cyberknights, built to keep the Aether and its zombie soldiers at bay. His squad receives a robot fighter called G.H.O.S.T. to aid them in their quests, and Soap becomes close "friends" with the machine over the course of 2 months. He knows Ghost can't really feel the same, or anything at all, but it's the closest thing to friendship he has.
    It all changes on a perilous quest, where Soap discovers there is more to Ghost than they had been told...

    Summary

    Clearly seeing the confusion on Soap's face, Price cuts to the chase. “How much contact do you have with your family, son?”

    “Not much sir…. Why?” Soap’s starting to get nervous again.

    “Do you know of a Matthew MacTavish?” Price asks, brows furrowing.

    Ah, now that’s a name Soap hasn’t heard in over a decade. “Why?” Soap drops eye contact with the captain.

    “Matthew’s the head of the trafficking ring, do you know him?” Soap doesn't see it, but the others in the room tense. Waiting for his answer.

    “Ah– Um. yeh ah ken ‘im. He’s–” accent thickening with anxiety, Soap clears his throat. “He’s my.. He’s my Father.”

    or:

    Soap's father is found out to be the head of a criminal/terrorist organisation, one that's trying to take Makarov's place. Soap will have to face his past along with this team, will soap be able to stay calm or will he just has to accept his teams help.

    Summary

    Soap's best mate, Gaz, has been on his case to move to London and join his band since Soap was excused from duty after an injury. Took a bit, but he finally landed a job as a band teacher in the area, so he takes him up on it. What he never bargained for was meeting their mysterious bassist, Ghost.

    Or

    Ghost has a very full, very busy life, raising his teenage son, running several pubs and a night club. For fun, he sneaks in and plays bass with some service buddies and his old captain. He didn't have any room for anything else, until Soap turned his world on its end.

    Summary

    Death was nothing compared to the pain of failing to save his best friend, the pain of failing to protect Johnny. When Ghost is given the chance to fix his mistakes he vows to save him. After all, now he knows what's coming, nothing can go wrong, right?

    Roach has been through hell, but when he is finally free from it will he be able to go back to even his weird semblance of normal?

    Soap doesn't know who he can trust anymore... He has the most horrible feeling that his team knows something he doesn't, something big.

    The explicit tag is for violence and talks about past sexual assault.
    Multiple character POV's, (Currently Ghost, Soap, and Roach)
