    Summary

    Ghost lowers his gun, ever so slightly. "Soap?"

    The figure comes closer, gun still aimed firmly at his head. A familiar, yet much deeper voice rings out in the near darkness. "How the shitting hell do you know my name?"

    Summary

    Simon Riley has been reported dead or missing four times. He's spent each holiday season alone or working for six years, since the last time he spoke to his brother and was told not to return. This year, his partner, John MacTavish, has offered him a home for the holidays. He has no idea what to expect from a large, apparently loving Scottish family farm, but for Johnny, he's willing to find out.

    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

    Instead of waking up Soap who is sleeping like it’s the first time he has in years, Ghost grabs the phone, stands from the bed and walks outside the room, sliding the screen and answering Price.

    ”Hello?” Ghost says, nerves wracking through him as he hears Price’s relieved sigh before a sharp voice barks at him.

    ”You’re not Soap. Who is this? Where is John?” Price grunts through the phone, his stern voice making Ghost cringe.

    Ghost sighs and mumbles, “Johnny’s asleep.”

    Price’s gasp would’ve been comical at any other time but Ghost’s heart is still racing a million miles a minute, “Simon? Holy shit, Ghost, is that you?”

    ”Maybe.” Ghost mutters, toying with the zip on his jacket.

    or
    Soap stays with Ghost in Manchester whilst on leave. Price doesn’t know about this. He calls Soap and the last thing he was expecting was Ghost’s voice down the phone.

    Summary

    “How do you want me, then?” Ghost asked, looking as though he were bracing himself for something. For what? Soap didn’t know.

    “Just on your right side, if ye could. Facing me, head by my table,” Soap directed, sitting down in his own chair and rolling in closer. As Ghost shifted into place, Soap slipped into professional mode. “It’s probably gonna hurt a bit more than your sleeve did, so if you need to tap out at any point just let me know and we’ll take a break.”

    Ghost’s eyes flicked up to meet his, looking entirely unimpressed. “It’s a rib tattoo, obviously it’s gonna hurt.”
