Summary
“That’s really smart and intuitive of you. These activities are not meant to be followed exactly because people think through and process things differently. It sounds like you’re a very visual and tactile person, so you found a way to make it work for you. I’m really glad you kept trying and didn’t give up, though that would have been fine as well.”
“Mmthanks” Soap mumbles and moves back to fully sit in his chair. He is definitely not thinking about the ways Simon is visual and tactile as well.
Simon hands Soap his journal and waits for Soap to say anything more. Which he doesn’t because he can’t because Simon has said things to him that no one has ever said. It’s the opposite of his nightmare from last week. He’s sitting in the office of someone who would’ve been his superior if they were still enlisted and he’s being told he’s talented and intuitive like it’s nothing. But it’s not nothing. It’s everything.

Three months after being medically discharged, Soap is feeling aimless and in need of support. He goes to his local Veterans Association and meets with social worker Simon Riley, who helps him find a new way forward

Summary
It’s the seventy-fifth tally when they bring the alpha downstairs.
From the second Soap can hear him, he’s shouting up a storm. There are four men on him, and twice as many guns besides: he fights like hell the whole way down the hall. As he’s shoved onto his knees, he sinks his fangs into the thigh of his nearest captor. He gets himself pistol-whipped for his effort, and still looks like he wants to try it again.
Soap likes the big bastard intensely and immediately.
Soap and Ghost are imprisoned by the Al-Qatala, and things only get worse from there.

Summary
Simon nearly flinched when he felt Johnny's hand squeeze his knee under the table, not expecting the touch, but leaning into it once it was there. Their shoulders nearly touched as they sat, refusing to be more than a few inches apart even in a safe place, conditioned by what has now been years of staying close by incase danger unexpectedly strikes. The heat radiating from Johnny was soothing, as was the soft scent of his cologne which Simon caught a whiff of every time he took a deep breath to steady himself.
It was pathetic, really, that a man who has charged headfirst into gunfights without so much as blinking found himself so anxious over a dinner with his boyfriend's family.

Every chapter serves as a complete 'installment' in the series, told from a single perspective, that will eventually connect to future fics added to the verse - additional chapters/POVs will be added when they are finished and tags will be updated!

Summary
Ghost knows he's destined to spend the rest of his life going through the motions of being the sharp, shadowy knife those in power use to backstab one another. He's made peace with it. He's a professional. His newest contract, at least, seems promising. Taking down the head of the Royal Guard? A welcome challenge.
Sir John "Soap" MacTavish is far too busy to be fucking around in the frozen arse-end of Anfēowern. He's got an entire team of knights to direct, a king and a prince who are hell bent on making his life as difficult as possible, and an incoming visit from the king of a neighbouring country that will surely plunge his next few months into complete chaos. He’d love a day off. Fuck, he’d love five minutes off.
Fate must have a dark sense of humour, because Ghost and Soap are about to collide.
