Summary
“What did you do?” Ghost barely hears his own voice. His mind fills with static as the horrifying realization of what’s happened washes over him. “Soap, what the fuck did you do?”
-⚠︎-
Makarov’s forces target a nuclear research plant in the south of England. Soap is the only one who might be able to stop a total meltdown from killing thousands. He makes a choice, and the 141 may never be quite the same.

Summary
“So I can what? Move on?” He barks a humorless laugh. “Tha’s rich comin’ from you. As if ye’d do it if ye were me?”
“Johnny—“
“No, fuck this. You aren’t the only one with nothin’ else to live for. I did what I’m good for—I deserved to die from tha’ fuckin’ bullet. It’s not my responsibility to fix ma whole life jus’ because I didn’t.”
***
Soap makes it out of that tunnel alive. Grappling with a newly impaired body and mind unfit for military service, he’s forced to grieve life as he knew it. Ghost is determined to help him figure out how to do that.
Only it seems that Soap’s old life isn’t quite finished with him yet.

Summary
There’s grief now in Soap’s eyes, only it isn’t for his own life. “Not had an easy go of it, have you, Simon?”
The gentle use of his name twists like a knife in his chest. It’s ironic, that though Soap didn’t know him back then, he ought to be the first person ever to mourn Simon Riley.
***
After surviving a harrowing betrayal in Las Almas, Soap and Ghost spend a night tending to open wounds. Literally and figuratively.

Summary
They give Ghost the flag.
Not to family. Not to blood. To him.
Johnny MacTavish is presumed dead after the blast, and the world moves on with sealed files and quiet ceremonies. Ghost stands at the grave of an empty coffin and realizes one terrible thing:
If Soap is truly gone, then there were words left unsaid.
And if he isn’t-
Ghost is coming for him.

Summary
“Gonna get it warm in here first, then we’ll have a look at ya,” he says over his shoulder.
Soap just shivers on the cot and says nothing.
While he gets the fire going, Ghost takes stock of their supplies. He’s got almost a full IFAK between the two of them, cold water from the hand pump that he can warm, some dubious looking rags, and a half-gallon of what looks like homemade vodka.
Not ideal.
He glances over at the cot. Soap’s eyes have drifted shut.
-or- Soap is injured and delirious, and mistakes Ghost for someone who hurt him in the past.

Summary
Simon’s fingers follow the line down the back of Johnny’s skull, massaging gently at the base, thumbs pressing where tension has been living for days. Johnny lets out a shuddering breath, his body yielding all at once.
“There you go,” Simon murmurs, a soft clucking sound under his breath. “Christ, Johnny…I’m sorry.”
“For what?”
“For not being able to take it away. For not being able to help.”
“Ye are helpin’,” Johnny says immediately, voice thick. “This—this is helpin’.”
-or-Simon learns that his hands can provide pleasure instead of causing pain, and he puts this information to good use.

Summary
On the 21st November 2023, Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish was killed in action in the Eurotunnel, 7km off the coast of Folkestone.
Except the heavily redacted report is all a lie and the emotional scattering of his ashes is all an act.
This is the story of how he survives, how the 141 fake his death, and how he recovers - with Ghost right by his side.
A realistic fic about Soap recovering from a traumatic brain injury and discovering which parts of himself are left, and which parts Makarov stole from him. Full of hurt and comfort, angst and humour, this is a slow burn Ghost/Soap getting together fic with a happy ending.

Summary
Johnny dusts his hands off against his jeans and steps back from the tree. “Kyle?”
“Mm?” Gaz is trying to hook a huge ceramic snowflake onto a branch that absolutely will not hold it.
“I’ll be right back, yeah?”
Gaz glances over, eyes flicking to Johnny’s expression. Something in them softens. “Need a minute?”
“Aye. There’s something I need tae do.”
“All right. But hurry back. We’ve still got to convince Price to wear his jumper and I’m gonna need backup. And a distraction while I decorate his office.”
Johnny snorts under his breath and heads for the door. His heart is beating a mile a minute, and he feels like there’s lightning in his veins, fizzy and effervescent with nervous energy. But he knows one thing for certain as he steps into the hallway—he can’t let Simon spend Christmas Eve thinking he’s lost him.
Not when the truth is that Johnny has never needed him more than he does right now.
-or-It's Christmas Eve, and Simon and Johnny finally TALK.
