Summary
Soap is a PhD student, doing his research in Antarctica on the behaviors and hunting habits of leopard seals. During his expedition, he becomes obsessed with a leucistic seal, who he's taken to calling Ghost.
His attempts at tagging Ghost for tracking purposes have all failed, leaving Soap frustrated, but determined to try again. He won't stop until he gets the data he needs for his dissertation.
At the same time, Soap is stuck in an escalating, heated flirting match with a hydroponics employee at another base. It's foolish to form romantic relationships with someone he knows will vanish from his life once their expeditions are over, but there's something fascinating about this man that he can't ignore.

Summary
And while Simon may not be SAS anymore, he certainly hasn’t forgotten a damn thing. He’s on his feet in moments, the sheets thrown haphazardly out of the way. He hears a yelp, and yet Simon doesn’t hesitate, fingers curling around the neck of the man who is in his room, before they both slam back into the wall with a jarring force.
Startled blue eyes meet his, a muscular body molded to Simon’s own as he keeps the man pinned securely in place, “Who the fuck are you?”
“Sir!”
Simon grits his teeth, yet a quick assessment of the stranger shows a name tag nearly crushed between their chests —MacTavish.

Summary
The kind of guy who would offer himself up for an infiltration mission with suicidal survival odds is the same kind of guy who would let his superior fuck him raw. The same kind of guy who would rely on the bloody pull-out method, like they’re on some after-school special on public telly.
Soap's probably also the same kind of guy who could be driven to the edge of not caring whether or not Ghost pulls out at all.
If Ghost were so inclined, that is.

Summary
"Kids?" Soap asks, curving his fingers into a silent okay to Ghost without thinking. "Plural?"
"Yes. A boy and a girl. Little Joseph was born a couple of months ago, according to the records."
"Oh," is all Soap says because oh. He has a nephew. A little baby nephew. And then, because that is apparently not enough of a revelation, the doctor says:
"You are listed as their legal guardian, Mr. MacTavish. We need you to pick them up."

Summary
Yearning, Ghost realizes, aches even deeper than a bullet wound.
He’s trained himself not to desire, the same way he’s trained his body to sprint while in full tactical gear, the same way he’s trained his eyes to focus through a sniper scope for hours on end.
But he’s never wanted someone—anything—like he wants Soap.
