Summary
“Quite a fright for sun-enjoyers at Cloudbreak near Fiji yesterday. One of the surfers spotted an incredibly large shark and alerted the lifeguards, who immediately pulled all surfers from the water and called the coastguard.
After a short investigation, it was concluded that the shark, a Great White named Ghost, was going to be around for a while. Though not seen as a threat since Ghost has never attacked humans, the lifeguards have not opened the beach for surfers or swimmers.
At this moment, sunbathing is allowed, but surfing is only allowed with explicit clearance from the coastguard, who placed a tracker on Ghost to locate him at all times. The coastguard is ecstatic to have a tracker on the shark since Ghost is a very elusive animal and typically doesn’t show himself in crowded places.
Ghost is 24 feet long and thought to be around 30 years of age.”
Or,
Soap is a surfer, Ghost is a shark. What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
"Soap had been struggling with his feelings the past few days. Something clearly had changed between Ghost and himself, but he couldn’t figure out if it was for better or worse. In the two weeks since the incident with Graves, they had barely spoken. Things hadn’t been too awkward around the garage, and Ghost didn’t seem to mind dropping him off at class if the pain in his arm was too much to consider driving alone, but their usual banter was gone. Conversation was polite, professional, sterile. They were two acquaintances again, not close friends. Certainly not two people who had almost kissed in an adrenaline fueled haze while a bullet was dug out of his arm on the kitchen table."
Or, the one where Price's Body Shop on 141st Street is the place to be for cool cars, stray cats and hopeless romantics.

Summary
The paper crinkled when he dragged it out from where he had stuffed it into his backpack, already ripped in the corners and scuffed from the harsh treatment when he ran to the gate earlier. He skimmed over the tags again, the first one being the one that caught his eye ‘military romance’, the rest of the tags weren’t too important as he ripped the paper. Sue him for latching onto it, maybe it was so hilarious that he could get through at least half the flight not bored out of his mind.
The ripped brown paper revealed a smooth black cover, a tunnel ending in a white circle with a soldier carrying another one over his shoulders, the title in plain white letters ‘Solider heart’. Soap flipped it, finding the reviews and a simple summary on the back. The author being anonymous, only the initials of what most likely already was pseudo name, ‘RS’. It held many awards, even called internationally best selling romance novel of it genre, which raised some eyebrows.
What had started as the longest flights of his life, turned out to be the shortest.

Summary
Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish is declared K.I.A during a failed recon mission in 2017. His commanding officer, Captain John Price, takes the loss personally but has no other choice then to move on. He creates Task Force 141, keeps the bad guys scared of the dark, and hunts Makarov relentlessly - the man who killed his sergeant all those years ago.
Five years later, Price fights an assassin with a familiar face.
Spectre-07 doesn’t remember anything. Maybe he had once, but years of conditioning have stripped his mind bare, save for the instinct to kill. It's all he knows, all he craves; the blood of his target between his fingers, at the end of his scope or along the blade of his knives. He's a cold-blooded, empty headed machine, and he doesn't hesitate.
Until he does.

Be Careful of What's In the Woods--Dogs by WarOnCanon

Summary
“Alright, ye little weapon,” he calls out, and the wolf tilts his head just slightly. “No’ a nice night for a stroll.” Objectively it isn’t—the chill and the near-darkness making sure of that—and yet the both of them are out anyway.
The wolf doesn’t respond, even though there’s a detached part of Soap’s brain that thought he might’ve. A bark or a call or something.
Soap just ducks his head and laughs softly to himself—or at himself, he isn’t sure. “Don’t you have a pack to get back to? Why’re you all alone?”
This, at least, seems to get the wolf’s attention. He is ghost-like, an eerie half-presence. Even his feet upon the grass seem inconsequential, as if he had no mass at all. A spectre. He ducks his head too, mirroring Soap, and huffs a sharp breath.
---
After Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish leaves the military due to an injury in battle, he retreats to the beautiful Glasgow countryside, keeping no company but his own in his wooded cabin. When a wolf starts showing up, though, he realizes that maybe he was more lonely than he had first thought. And also that he likes dogs.

Summary
his eyes trained on Simon’s face.
The freckled skin, the wrinkles around his eyes and eyebrows, the expressiveness of his features. The scars and the small indents that when John really thought about it could look like the shape of that skull mask, but he wasn’t really sure. It was there, when Simon needed a short break on a bench, laughing at a comment John made, that it hit John. A warm feeling spreading in his chest like dye in water. He didn’t feel lonely.
Because Simon had filled that void with his jokes, his stories and warm timbre voice. Living in John’s mind even when he was at home watching TV or making dinner for one. It was a slow realisation, warm and sappy slithering through his veins and arteries. Smiling wider despite the conversation not really catering for it.

Summary
Warmth filled his chest at the prospect of the future. Once he had thought the job was his life; probably because it actually had been. He had resigned himself to an early, violent death on a battlefield. Recently, he had started accepting the chance at the opposite.
Like the fresh buds on the trees rushing past the car window, Price felt a new start coming with spring.
Soap and Ghost are forced out of retirement when Price goes MIA.

Summary
When he had woken, it was to a skull swimming in and out of his vision, and for a second he figured that the reaper had come to claim his wretched soul. It didn’t scare him much; after all, he had long since accepted his meeting with death would come early in this job. He would have liked to work in the 141 longer than he had, however. He liked his teammates, liked Captain Price and his funny moustache and strong leadership, liked Gaz and his like minded humour and youthful honesty. He liked the big, scary Ghost, even if he hadn’t delved as deeply into the mysteries of that man as he wanted to.
The skull was talking to him.“I’m not the grim reaper, you overdramatic wanker.”

Summary
“Johnny?” Ghost pulled off his gloves, kneeling at the bedside. He could feel the heat on his palm before he even made contact with the clammy skin. His fingers found the pulse point, and his own heart beat faster. It was weak. It was too damn weak. “Fuck!”
Within seconds he had scooped Soap into his arms and started practically running down the barracks halls. People jumped out of the way, faces shocked at the unusual sight. Murmurs drowned in the sound of blood rushing in his ears.
“Hang in there, Johnny. Stay with me now.”
Soap gets poisoned. Ghost takes it as well as you'd expect.

The Shield and the Shadow by a_platypus, Martuzzio, TrashBard

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.

Summary
“I’m not leaving you, Buck.” Eddie says with a tired sigh, like he’s struggling with the weight of the world and Buck’s the one who put it there. “Just switching jobs, that’s all.”
That’s all?, Buck wants to scream, because every relationship he has is tied to the job in some way, and first Maddie left, and then it was Chimney, and now it’s Eddie. But he doesn’t scream, because that would be a little bit too tragic, even for him, and nods instead. Bites his tongue. Pretends that he isn't falling apart where he's stood.
***
Or, set post season 5A, where Buck is alone, and angry, and exhausted, but mostly terrified that everyone he loves is slowly slipping away from him.
