    Summary

    “Would you come with me?” Simon asks quietly.

    “Where?”

    “Back out to sea.”

    A sharp needle of pain zips up Johnny’s earlobe at his words. He winces, features pinching, but he doesn’t wrench himself away like he would have done before. Johnny lets Simon hold him, leans into the familiar chill of his fingers, hoping it’ll chase away the throbbing pain.

    Johnny laughs through it. “I doubt yer captain would be all that welcomin’ of a siren aboard his Jolly Roger.”

    The crease between Simon’s brows smooths out. “But if he was?”

    Johnny smiles sadly, watching the way Simon’s eyes glint with that pirate greed. That hunger.

    Simon is a fool. A sweet, kindhearted, gentle fool of a man and a shitty excuse for a pirate. The thought makes Johnny’s heart clench painfully in his chest.

    “Aye,” Johnny says, meeting Simon’s eyes. “I would.”

     

    OR: The countless times Johnny unknowingly aids a pirate captain, and one time he saves him.

    Summary

    Now, Soap's got a healthy amount of superstition, as much as the next guy. He taps twice on the spines of his sketchbooks before opening and closing them. Wrenches his door handle up whenever he enters his room even though that does nothing to lock it, just because back in his childhood home the front door would stick and that was the only way to make sure it was properly shut before the deadbolt would work.

    He offers a mindless, habitual prayer whenever they pass by a roadside memorial. Taps his glass once on the table before drinking when on a night out, whenever he's drinking from something made of glass.

    Little things. Simple things he barely thinks about, and no one calls him out on in his team. Just another Soap-quirk, one of thousands of little rituals that every man who risks his life on the daily would do if they thought it would put Lady Luck on their side and let them see another sunrise.

    But this…thing. This thing has no explanation. No little ritual to make him stop seeing it. It keeps its distance but in that way a haunted doll in films does - with the implicit knowledge that it will get closer, it will move.

    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

    John “Soap” MacTavish and Simon “Ghost” Riley – both star players for their respective EIHL teams – are supposed to hate each other.

    On the ice, they do, colliding like war every time their teams face each other, a rivalry that has been going on for years. Off the ice, thought, they share a carefully guarded secret: a long-standing arrangement to burn off steam after every game they play against one another.

    When a tabloid photo of Ghost leaving Soap’s flat exposes their secret, their agents force them into a fake relationship to control the narrative. What starts as a PR stunt quickly blurs into something far more dangerous as stolen moments, forced outings, and a long summer together turn lust into something neither of them is prepared to admit.

    Caught between public rivalry and private affection, Soap and Ghost must decide whether what they’ve built off the ice is worth making real – before the season, the league, or their own fears tear them apart.
