    Summary

    John was out too late again. It was all he could do, collecting what little wood there was and peat for burning as the chill began to creep into the long nights. His torch was dull, seeming ineffective against the fog settling over the moors, and the moon was in its dark cycle. He trembled with fatigue, with hunger, but he couldn’t afford to rest. The village needed him. He could scarcely put one foot in front of the other. He could scarcely see a foot in front of him. All he wanted was to lay down, to rest.

    I’m here John. The voice tried to comfort him. And I can deliver you.

    “Please, God. Help me!”

    For a price.


    Many generations ago the first Lord MacTavish made a deal with a creature. Now it's come to collect.

    Summary

    “Nothing wrong with getting a little help, son.”

    He didn’t argue. He set up an appointment. And he attended the hour-long session with an open mind.

    Turns out, it wasn’t what happened in Las Almas and Chicago that had a hold on him.

    or:
    Soap has to come to terms with a new diagnosis, deal with therapy and recovery, and prevent world war three, all the while he tries to figure out his feelings for his stupid fucking Lieutenant.

    Summary

    Soap doesn’t remember the ambush outside Prague. He doesn’t remember the medevac, the surgery, or the two weeks he spent in a coma. What he does remember is Ghost’s face when he wakes, sitting at his bedside like he hasn’t moved in days.

    Turns out, Ghost’s been listed as his “next of kin.” Which is strange, because Soap doesn’t remember marrying his lieutenant, either. However, hospitals only allow family to stay overnight, and Ghost wasn’t about to leave.

    Now, as Soap learns to walk again, Ghost helps him eat, move, and stay awake. It’s supposed to be just for practicality and convenience.

    But there’s nothing practical about the way Ghost looks at him or the way Soap looks back.

    Recovery is messy. So is pretending not to care.

    Or: Soap survives the gunshot, and Ghost pretends to be his husband so he can take care of him

    Summary

    A mission to a chemical facility goes catastrophically wrong, and it’s Ghost and Soap who pay the price in two vastly different ways.

    Warning: please heed the tags, they relate strongly to chapter 1.
