Summary
“Where is everyone?”
“When,” MacTavish began, and he dropped the cup on the bedside table, an old chipping thing, “were you planning to tell me the bite got infected?”
Ghost stiffened, hands curling tighter into fists.
Keeping things from each other never ends well. It all comes to a head in an empty safehouse.

Summary
Ghost, under threat of another psychological evaluation from both his CO and therapist, has been forced to partake in a penpal programme with another soldier in order to "practise empathy" and "re-establish human connection." He hates it until he doesn't.
MacTavish willingly volunteers for the SAS's new penpal programme because what the hell, it could be fun. And when his penpal ends up being adorably emotionally constipated, well, that certainly doesn't hurt.

Summary
He'd earned his rank, his honors, and his name. There’s been little time where he wasn’t working, being sent on mission after mission. John went where he was ordered and completed the job he was given, he was confident. That didn't mean he was ready to lead a Task Force of twenty soldiers.
Ghost sits across from him, lowering his bag to the floor next to him. Still sitting ramrod straight.

He wades in it now, eyes still open, fixed on the speckled ceiling, begging himself not to crave bomb blasts and artillery fire in his childhood bedroom.

After a near-fatal injury, John MacTavish finds himself back in his hometown in Scotland. Fresh off an untimely discharge, he's forced to cope with disability, his dysfunctional family, and the lingering knowledge that there are some things he's just not ready to leave behind...
