Summary
A mission goes wrong and both Soap and Ghost are left wounded. Back home, on his sick-leave, Soap's apartment gets broken into by the very men they were supposed to capture that day. Captain Price sends him a location for a place that should be safe. Soap didn't expect to see Ghost in the doorway when he gets there, bare-footed, in comfortable clothes and his worn-out balaclava.

Summary
Warmth filled his chest at the prospect of the future. Once he had thought the job was his life; probably because it actually had been. He had resigned himself to an early, violent death on a battlefield. Recently, he had started accepting the chance at the opposite.
Like the fresh buds on the trees rushing past the car window, Price felt a new start coming with spring.
Soap and Ghost are forced out of retirement when Price goes MIA.

Summary
There’s a teddy in Soap’s bed; a beaten-up, old brown bear. Well-loved, if the state of the fur is any indication. Ghost lets out a choked laugh, mostly at his own expense. He wishes he was there, suddenly, wishes he was by Johnny’s side as he walked through the doorway and realised that his childhood room was waiting for him like a time capsule. Wishes he got to see the embarrassed scrunch of his face, the way the tips of his ears would flush red.
Soap has a whole second life, outside of the SAS. He’s got a mother, and a poorly-decorated bedroom, and a bear. All Ghost has is a flat that will be the same it is today as it will be the day he dies, like he was never even here at all.

Summary
Four years after Hassan, Ghost and Soap have become the most effective duo in the 141, completing missions with brutal efficiency and a higher rate of success than any other special ops team (bad jokes and nonregulation banter included). Despite Ghost's insistence on maintaining professional distance, their closeness on the battlefield has gradually led to true friendship, and if Johnny sometimes wishes for more, that's nothing compared to knowing he's Simon's favorite person. Everything is as perfect as it can be when doing the kind of work that leaves them with ragged scars - mental and physical - and blood on their hands.
But nothing lasts forever, and when military politics threaten to break up their team, Simon and Johnny must decide if they want to stick with the comfort of their status quo... or risk losing what they have for the possibility of more.
A series of connected, slice-of-life stories set to the background of the various couches Simon and Johnny encounter in their line of work.
