Summary
On the 21st November 2023, Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish was killed in action in the Eurotunnel, 7km off the coast of Folkestone.
Except the heavily redacted report is all a lie and the emotional scattering of his ashes is all an act.
This is the story of how he survives, how the 141 fake his death, and how he recovers - with Ghost right by his side.
A realistic fic about Soap recovering from a traumatic brain injury and discovering which parts of himself are left, and which parts Makarov stole from him. Full of hurt and comfort, angst and humour, this is a slow burn Ghost/Soap getting together fic with a happy ending.

Summary
There’s a teddy in Soap’s bed; a beaten-up, old brown bear. Well-loved, if the state of the fur is any indication. Ghost lets out a choked laugh, mostly at his own expense. He wishes he was there, suddenly, wishes he was by Johnny’s side as he walked through the doorway and realised that his childhood room was waiting for him like a time capsule. Wishes he got to see the embarrassed scrunch of his face, the way the tips of his ears would flush red.
Soap has a whole second life, outside of the SAS. He’s got a mother, and a poorly-decorated bedroom, and a bear. All Ghost has is a flat that will be the same it is today as it will be the day he dies, like he was never even here at all.

Summary
It had been four months since Soap had last heard or seen Ghost.
Seventeen weeks of begging and praying that he was still alive and breathing.
One hundred twenty-one days of living without being alive, of carrying guilt that was eating him alive.Soap couldn't remember the last time he had caught some sleep without being woken up by terrors and nightmares. He had lost everything the day Makarov decided to take away the person Soap cared for the most. He lost count of how many times he had wished to be in Ghost's place instead. As he drowned in memories of the past, Soap's illusion of the perfect soldier life was crumbling down right in front of him, being on mandatory leave whilst his team tried everything to track down Ghost's position in the hope of bringing him back alive. No one knew whether he was still alive in captivity or had long since died. Soap felt his team was losing hope.
But giving up was no option for Soap, because giving up on Ghost meant giving up on what they had and leaving him to die. And dying was no option.
Little did he know that bringing Ghost home wouldn't mark the end of their nightmare, but only the beginning of its aftermath.Bookmarked by Ayleid

Summary
There's nothing about Ghost to love.
More machine than man, he's a weapon for his country to use as they see fit. Stripped of his humanity, Ghost has come to accept his way of life, going through the motions because he has to.
That is, until Soap slowly breaks down Ghost's walls, and makes him realize that maybe there is still hope for him. That his augments don't define the man who suffers within. That he's worthy of love, just like everyone else.

Summary
“Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten me, Johnny,” he murmurs. Soap can’t breathe. Doesn’t even react when Ghost leans down and presses a kiss to his slack and pouting mouth. Tears spills over his lashes again, dark spots forming where they land on Ghost’s shirt.
“I’m sorry,” Soap mumbles.
There’s a gleam in Ghost’s eyes when he looks down at Soap, mask hitched in that funny way it does when he’s grinning underneath. “I guess I’ll have to seduce you, won’t I?”
“Again,” Soap says, a smile pulling at his own mouth.
Ghost doesn’t reply, just hums and pulls Soap against his broad chest. Soap melts against him immediately, the action feeling like second nature. It’s hard to believe he would have forgotten Ghost, but maybe he really did.
***
Soap wakes up, weak and confused, and his memory's got more holes than his nan's doilies. Things get worse when Ghost tells him that they were together and Soap's mind is curiously blank on the subject.

Summary
John “Soap” MacTavish is frozen under the weight of a singular glowing golden eye. Its vertical pupil dilates and contracts and Soap swears he can feel the physical weight of a touch skimming over his body as it trails up and down him, assessing. The touch feels as if a singular sharp claw is being dragged over his skin, holding him in place with the silent threat of evisceration should he so much as breathe.
So he doesn’t breathe, he doesn’t move, he can’t even bring himself to look away from that eye as he’s studied; as his fate is decided by the sleek, inky black creature standing just a few feet in front of him.
Soap’s skin feels as if it’s burning under the weight of that stare, but he’s finally able to take a breath in. He lets it out through his nose slowly, quietly, and is careful not to move as he tries to convince his body he isn’t in danger.
But he isn’t convinced. . . isn’t even close, and as he’s able to finally tear his gaze away from the one eye that he can see, he becomes almost sure that he is in danger.

Summary
Husband, he thought. Wife, even, should it please you.
He reaches out a hand, grabbing the crown and placing it atop Hans' head. It was a broken, misshapen thing now, but it looked nothing less than regal on him.
"Yours." He settles on, as if it were any less impossible.
Just a single summer day, shared between a lord and his squire.
OR: A series of vignettes following a single day in the life of Hansry where the boys are forced to confront their lingering anxieties about the future that ends with Henry getting his back blown out (carefully and with lots of love)

Summary
It was a dream, John flying out to London to meet with the team, Price explaining that he would get his in-house editors working on the project, that revisions and such usually took a few months. But everything was handled for him, the cover artist, the designs for the physical book itself, social media promotions. Everything.
And John didn’t even have words for how excited he was.
He glances at the name of the editor one more time, brows furrowed as he tries to remember who the fuck Ghost is. He met a ton of people at the office the other day, John Price welcoming him with open arms before introducing him to his team, a small group, and yet John knows he would remember the name of this person.
Seeing as it really wasn’t a name at all.

Summary
Soap’s been running his ranch on his own just fine up until now. Uses the occasional ranch hand when needs must but mostly just puts in the work so he doesn’t have to bother with them. Except now the most beautiful beta he’s ever seen has waltzed into his life and asked for a job, and God help him Soap’s given him one.
Ghost needs somewhere to lie low for a while, somewhere out of town where it’s unlikely anyone will recognise him from the wanted posters springing up all over town. Just his luck that the ranch owner is the kind of alpha dreams are made of, especially when he really can’t afford to be getting tangled up with anyone.

Summary
There’s a ghost haunting the 141 common room. At least, Soap is about 80% sure there is, which is, in fairness, realistically about as sure as anyone could reasonably be about spooks haunting their workplace. He’s not stupid, he knows no one else is going to believe him if he brings it up. The scorn if he suddenly starts harping on about ghosties and ghoulies.
None of that negates the fact that there definitely is one though. Probably.

Summary
“Almost there, Lt,” he grunts, lurching forward with Ghost’s weight. He’s no help at all in trekking across the snow and ice — his little dip in the river courtesy of a now-dead terrorist has rendered him dangerously hypothermic, and Soap’s panic grows with each ragged, wheezing inhale. At least he’s still breathing, Soap thinks grimly before he shakes his head, shoves everything down to the back of his mind to be dealt with later — his fear, his exhaustion, the ache in his bones, all of it is neatly compartmentalised until there’s only the safehouse.
One step at a time, he marches them onwards.

Summary
“Eager thing, aren't you?”
Soap beams up at him. Looks downright feral with the blood dripping down his chin and over his fangs as he soaks up the omega's appraising once over.
Normally, Simon wouldn't give such a vagrant display of alpha peacocking the time of day.
But when his new neighbor– a rich, young pup from an old blood pedigree across the pond in Scotland– does it, he finds himself suddenly quite interested in just how far one John “Soap” MacTavish will go to get his attention.
And what he'll do to keep it.
____
Or the fic where older, silver-fox omega Ghost is being courted by younger, rich alpha playboy Johnny who is determined to elevate his comfortably middle-class DILF neighbor into the upper echelons of society.

Summary
Ghost was watching him too closely now. “The risk. The thrill. The fact that we’re sittin’ in the middle of the desert about to slip past an enemy patrol, and yet—” he leaned in slightly, voice dropping— “you can’t stop flirtin’ with me.”
Soap’s pulse kicked up, but he refused to let it show. “Y’been observin’ me a lot, then?”
“Maybe.” Ghost didn’t move, but Soap could hear his smirk behind the mask. “I think you just get off on danger.”
Jesus Christ.

Summary
“Steamin’ bloody Jesus,” Soap breathes. “How often does he do this?”
Gaz turns, then, and meets his eye. “Us, and Price… We’re the only ones who’d live to talk about it,” he says. “It’s a last resort.” He reaches out, then, and puts his hand on Soap’s arm. “Being his handler means being the one to call the shots, Soap. We’re the only bloody things he cares about. Everything else is fodder. If you ever have to make this call, you better be damn sure you don’t care about survivors, because there won’t be any.”
Price had been so eager to give the order. Imagine holding the nuke in your hands, knowing that you’ll be the only thing to survive its detonation. Imagine being Noah, but with the power to call the Flood whenever he wished.
Soap shivers, something not altogether kind or good curling around his brainstem at the notion.
Whether Gaz clocks it or not, he can’t say, but he eventually murmurs, “You’ll need a psych eval after this. We all get one after Ghost smokes out. Even him.”
Soap frowns. “Why?”
Gaz shrugs. “You’ll have to ask him. Personally, I think we all like it a bit too much.”
Soap blushes, and doesn’t have the words for why.
