Summary
Ghost, under threat of another psychological evaluation from both his CO and therapist, has been forced to partake in a penpal programme with another soldier in order to "practise empathy" and "re-establish human connection." He hates it until he doesn't.
MacTavish willingly volunteers for the SAS's new penpal programme because what the hell, it could be fun. And when his penpal ends up being adorably emotionally constipated, well, that certainly doesn't hurt.

Summary
It was odd, though not unpleasant, to be here with him like this, to have shared a meal at the same table. He could almost forget that he was in the presence of nobility. For a passing instant, they felt less like a baron and his attendant and more like friends.
Edwardian era Historical AU in which Soap is the wayward heir to a Scottish barony, and Ghost is a manservant who has been sent by another noble to get him under control. There's a little bit of everything in this one, but above all else it is a love story.

Summary
Ghost is motionless, staring down at John's outstretched hand like he's trying to recall on which page of How to Behave Like a Real Human in Polite Society he’s previously seen the gesture.
Before things can get awkward, John turns the aborted handshake into a jovial, manly sort of punch to Ghost’s shoulder. It's rather like how he imagines it would be to hit an adult moose, both in the physical sensation and in the frisson of anticipated danger it elicits. Gamely, he says, “Truck’s just about set, sir. Glad to be working with you.”
Ghost’s eyes flick up to John’s face, and then higher, to his hair. He frowns.

Summary
Soap was doing something strange to him. Testing his limits, stepping into forbidden territory.
Making him remember that he used to be something more than a ghost.
Someone more.

Summary
When homesteader John MacTavish wakes up to find his livelihood wiped out, he’s told to seek out the Ghost. Not a phantom but a roving bounty hunter, keeping the valley clean of scum.
But Ghost has been chasing Shadows. And this quarry is known to bite. There’s a lot more out there in the empty plains than just men and horses. Sometimes there are monsters.Bookmarked by spaghetti_salad
