Summary
This is the part he likes best: when the mission is complete but they’re still riding the high, hearts pumping from the exertion of keeping themselves alive. This is when Ghost is at his most unreserved, when he seems the most unlike The Ghost. It’s as if a good op helps him remember what it feels like to be human. And it’s in these moments, when he’s almost effusive, casual about a pat on the shoulder or a hand at the back of the neck—when he seems to need the physical reassurance that they made it out in one piece—that Soap thinks the mask looks the most like the prop it is. It doesn’t scare him; it only makes him sad.
—
Things go wrong on a routine op. The fallout takes a long time to settle, and when it does, everything is different.
NOTE: still on hiatus! not abandoned!!

Summary
Ghost walks into his brother's home on Christmas eve to find his family slaughtered.
Well... most of them, his little nephew seemed to scrape by unharmed. Ghost's goals in life go from "revenge" to "raise this kid as best as I can"
But where does he even start? There was no guide to parenting, after all...
Thankfully there's a really cute Nursery teacher more than willing to help!

Summary
“Two guys walk into a bar,” Ghost says.
“Not in the mood,” Johnny growls.
Silence.
“The third ducks.”
“Bleeding Jesus, Ghost,” Johnny mutters.
“Why don’t dinosaurs talk?” Ghost asks. He rocks back on his heels, face still pointed upwards.
“I’m not doing this with you,” Johnny says.
“Why don’t dinosaurs talk, Johnny?”
There’s a perfect stream of water falling off the ends of a branch a few yards off. It’s making a tiny pond in the forest floor far below, a pond that is slowly swelling out of its banks and turning into a river, trickling through fallen leaves and bracken. Johnny stares at that, refusing to meet Ghost’s eyes. He’d swung his gaze around to look at Johnny, head tilted slightly down, eyes glinting light through the darkness of the mask and greasepaint. That look turns Johnny’s spine to jello, breaks down his resolve and makes something dangerous warm in his stomach. He doesn’t know if Ghost is aware that he does it, if he knows how fast Johnny’s resolve crumbles at that look.
“Why don’t they talk, ye fuckin’ bobber?” Johnny says through grit teeth.
“Because they’re dead.”

Summary
Ghost has been working at an animal shelter that rescued problem dogs for a while now. For the most part, it's a pretty great way to spend his retirement, especially with Riley by his side. Of course, there's always things that make life suck arse.
Like the guy with all the scars casing the shelter from across the street. Ghost hasn't taken a life in a long time, but if the bastard was the kind of piece of shit he suspected he was, he'd do what he had to. And if he was wrong... Well, he'd deal with that if it came to it.

Summary
An alternate first meeting, where Ghost and Soap meet each other in the field under infinitely worse circumstances than either of them would have liked:
Ghost wakes up in a pit under a building with a bomb attached to him, certain he's going to die. Soap, an EOD tech amongst his other specialties, is the only person available to at least try to save him. It should be fraught, and tense, and miserable all around, and it is; a whole lot of Ghost slowly losing his mind while Soap does everything he can to save his life. But it would probably be easier if Ghost wasn't a stress-flirter, and if Soap wasn't the kind of endlessly competent that he loved, and if, by virtue of their situation, they didn't keep ripping open each other's wounds and then patching each other back up again after.

Summary
König is stuck. Stuck in his professional life, stuck in his degrading relationship with Krueger and stuck in his own self hatred. It doesn’t help that he stumbles upon a duo of adult content creators who awaken an unrealizable desire for tenderness and appreciation in him.
That is until he is deployed with the 141 and comes face to face with a dangerously familiar couple, which seems to have him in their scope since the very first day. Trying to navigate the flirty advances by a Scottish sergeant, he falls for them, all while trying to reconcile the lieutenants gestures of care with his intimidating gazes.
This whole mess would be so much easier to solve, if there wasn’t the looming threat of a ticking clock, counting down the days of his deployment…

Summary
In theory, it’s an easy plan of action: Soap heals with Ghost by his side and life goes back to the way it was before. Effortless and efficient, just like how they’ve always handled tough missions.
But with a newly broken brain, pent-up feelings, and a possible medical discharge looming on the horizon, everything is often easier said than done.

Summary
There is no birdsong. The hooting of pelicans and chatter of parakeets is almost as constant as the alligators’ droning hum, the cicadas’ buzz. He picks his gaze up from the battered siding. Dutch’s head is tilted. Bending forward, he leans over the railing beside Arthur, frown caught on something behind his head, eyebrows furrowed in strained confusion. “What…is that?”
Set primarily during 'Horsemen, Apocalypses', Arthur is forced to reckon with the lasting trauma of his abduction in Chapter 3. Spans Black Belle's chapter of 'The Noblest of Men, and a Woman', 'Fatherhood and Other Dreams', 'Brothers and Sisters, One and All', and 'American Fathers I'.

Summary
The heat smacks like a punch. Adjusting his neckerchief over his nose, Arthur takes in the length of the road, disappearing into a red haze some hundred yards ahead. A peculiar, suggestive heaviness seems to linger, trapping the swooning stores, the hotel with its wrought balconies and flower baskets, the picket-fenced houses, in a sweet, oozing calm, as if they’ve been preserved in amber, sepia-toned and motionless.
It’s quiet.Spanning the three story missions 'A Short Walk in a Pretty Town', 'Blood Feuds, Ancient and Modern', and 'The Battle of Shady Belle', events in Scarlett Meadows come to a fatal head, and Arthur struggles to confront his own anger.

Summary
“Figured you’d be wanting it back sometime,” Charles says softly, and presses his lips tight together around the threat of a smile, reaching across the small gap between them as they ride to pass Arthur his hat. Slightly battered, and very worn, but uniquely precious, as only a man’s hat can be.
“Guess since this is your first real ride out...well. A good cowboy needs his hat.”Still healing from his ordeal with the O'Driscolls, Arthur goes fishing with Kieran, then he and Charles finally get a few days to themselves after tracking one of Strauss' debtors in Strawberry.

Summary
“It was a nice wedding,” Charles says.
The little bird sitting on the top of Arthur’s grave tilts its head and peers at him, then flutters off in a burst of chirps. Charles draws in a lungful of smoke, holds it there for a long moment until it burns, and exhales. He sets the unfinished half of the cigarette at the base of the cross, the smoke spiralling skywards like a prayer, and runs a thumb over the fading knife cuts in the wood.

Summary
Arthur shifts his aim. Hovers on Colm’s haggard face, slightly out of focus due to the sheer distance. And Colm - somehow - glances up to his right. Directly at the glint of the rifle scope.
For a split second, Arthur looks him in the eye.
He flinches back. Footsteps clatter behind him, skidding on the rock. He turns, and the butt of a rifle smashes into his head.Set during and after 'Blessed Are The Peacemakers' in Chapter 3, a bid to parley with the O'Driscolls goes disastrously wrong. Charles takes it upon himself to find Arthur and bring him home before he succumbs to days of torture and imprisonment.

This isn’t some sort of trial. Dutch has clearly made his mind up already regarding Charles joining the gang. Arthur’s opinion doesn’t matter. At least not yet.

It was a nice respite, Arthur thinks, watching Charles stand, the glint of the sun in his dark hair, his eyes far away, considering, but it wasn’t ever meant to last.
