    Summary

    It should have been a no-brainer, really. Ghost should have balked at the thought of spending time in close proximity to any of his colleagues, let alone the one man that he actually had the potential to disappoint. That was his rule — distance meant safety.

     

    It should have been an easy answer.

     

    When the news of three weeks’ forced leave reaches Ghost, he’s resigned himself to loneliness in an empty base. That is, until a certain Sergeant offers him an invitation he just can’t seem to refuse.

    Or: the sheep farming fic nobody asked for

    Summary

    Explosives, debris, the slipperiness of fresh blood between your finger and the trigger. Enemies, a lonely infirmary room, enough paperwork to make your mind spin. One wrong turn, a second earlier, two seconds later—the difference between being here or six feet under.

    It's too much. It gets to be too much.

    But most things feel lighter when someone else helps you carry them.

    Summary

    “No.”

    “I wasn’t asking, Ghost.”

    He shifted in his place. Can never get used to Price’s voice in his head.

    “You know I work best alone. All he’s gonna do is get in the way.”

    Price’s mustache twitched, as if he’s fighting a smile. Bastard is about to drop something to win the entire argument, Ghost already knows.

    “He’s a revenant. Strong one too.”

    Fucking figures. Still, he could argue he doesn’t need any support-

    “Intel is rigged with explosives. And the Sergeant just so happens to be explosion-proof.”

    … Fuck.

     

    ------

    Taskforce 141 is the only squad composed of exclusively revenants, individuals who gain powers after dying once. Ghost is the revered revenant Lieutenant, who's powers are unknown to most and are only referred to as "Limbo".

    Ghost works alone. Until a certain Scot shows up.

    Summary

    There was only so much you could do to a dead man, you see, before he became more of a liability than an advantage. In theory, the idea of not killing Ghost— of keeping him alive, taking him back to the base and torturing all the information they could get out of him was a good one. However, in practice, the issue became more complicated.

    Or— Ghost is sent home to recover after being victim to cartel torture, and then Soap shows up.

    Summary

    Both are injured and in pain.
    But only one of them admits it.

    Maybe there is even more going on than just patching each other up.
