Summary
Connor knew he wasn’t particularly good at things. He failed Amanda, failed Markus…and now he was failing at deviancy as well. Perhaps he was better off being a machine. Even Hank was bound to become fed up of him at some point. He expected it, but he hadn’t anticipated the pain that would accompany it. He supposed he deserved it.
His voice became louder, harsher, colder with every word. The more he spoke the more disoriented he got, and the more lost in memories of Cole- crash, hospital, androids, death- he became. Androids. androids causing problems in his life. Always ruining anything good he could possibly have in his life. How could he have forgotten? Looking at Connor now, seeing the yellow-red light spinning on his temple, he didn’t know how he ever saw a person in someone so obviously…synthetic. Mechanical. Always sat with an unnaturally straight posture, speaking like an awkward fucking thesaurus, never understanding jokes, expression never changing except for an uncomfortable, wonky smile that didn’t suit his face at all.
————
A very self-indulgent fic following Connor navigate through his deviancy as he experiences family, friends, betrayal, hurt, and what it’s like to be alive.

Summary
The rest of the soldiers give Ghost a wide berth instinctively, their prey-animal lizard brains unable to stomach sitting so close to him even when he's geared up and can't easily feed, even though they know he's impeccably collected and has never even hissed at one of them in warning. Those that have seen him in action know to be afraid, even with him on their side.
So Ghost has no qualms about gathering his tongue back into his mouth, rumbling lowly; "Shouldn't stare at me like that, Johnny."

Summary
Soap wants, more than anything, down deep where secrets have claw marks in them from how tightly they're held, to be seen. An artist and Submissive, he sees the world as few others do; a hidden Truculent, he sees others as few others do.
He sees, but he isn't seen.
Ghost wants, more than anything, to know what he wants. He oscillates between digging his teeth into the idea of Johnny and wanting to rend flesh from bone at the long-dead urges Johnny awakens within him.
He wants, but he doesn't know what.
Or: Sub for Sub Ghoap with a hefty side of hurt/comfort.

Summary
Simon Riley, known as “The Ghost of Manchester,” has spent fifteen years as the most feared hitman in Britain’s underworld, until one last job grants him a chance at a new life. He escapes to Wynndale, a picture-perfect Yorkshire village decked in Christmas cheer, determined to live in the shadows and forget his violent past. Which proves impossible when Johnny MacTavish, a cheerful ex-soldier turned coffee shop owner of The Sneaky Kilt, and relentless spreader of holiday spirit, crashes through Simon’s defenses like nothing he's ever experienced before.
As Wynndale celebrates the season, Simon is drawn into Johnny’s world of found family, sparkly kilts, the true joy that comes with Christmas, and after-hours decorating. Before long, he finds his dark grey world slowly transformed into golds, greens, and reds, though none as vibrant as the blue eyes of Johnny.
However, when Simon discovers Johnny's in danger from more than just the local thugs threatening his coffee shop, Simon must confront the darkness he can’t outrun, a lifetime of cold and calculation, and what it truly means to love and live with another.
Or as I like to call it: "Hallmark Presents : A Hitman For Christmas"

Summary
Ghost has spent the years since he was held as a POW locked into a marriage to preserve his career in the army. Forced to excel, to become part of the SAS and to form this heroic task force 141, everything in his life boils down to the sacrifices he's made for his career. For his country. For the world. It's pushed him too far, and Soap is the only one who seems to see it. Doing everything he can to push the bright beautiful Scot away, to protect him from his own personal hell, Ghost would do anything to not come back from the next mission.
Soap picks option number 3.
