    Summary

    An ongoing series where two touch-starved men figure out how to take care of each other in ways that no military field guide ever covered. Thankfully, when you already trust a person with your life, letting them see you at your most vulnerable isn't nearly as hard as it sounds.

    Non-sexual intimacy, physical touch, a little angst, and a lot of comfort.

    Summary

    “You offer everyone your half-sucked cigarettes?”

    “You’re special, apparently.”

    Simon didn’t question it. Just took the cigarette, their fingers brushing as he brought it to his lips.

    John couldn’t help but stare. There was a scar on Simon’s lip—faint, healed. It didn’t surprise him.

    It felt like he already knew it was there.

    Like it made sense.

    OR

    John MacTavish's life was in tatters after an injury that nearly killed him. Alone and hollow, he tries to rebuild himself—taking a quiet job at a tattoo shop, keeping his head down, and surviving day by day.

    That is, until Simon Riley walks in.

    A client with scars and a presence that stirs something deep in his chest—along with memories that were meant to stay buried. Memories of who he really was, and everything they tried to make him forget.

    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

    Ghost and Soap had settled into a routine by now: Stay close, but never get too close. It was like an unspoken rule, the professional barrier they had placed between each other firmly keeping them from anything beyond friendship. The system worked, didn't rock the boat – until Ghost got deployed on a long-term assignment and the physical distance between them only seemed to push them even closer together.

    I like how we go into the dom’s side of play because I feel I never see that.
