Summary
Ghost is shaking, whether from cold or from everything else between them, Soap can’t tell. His eyes are bright and unguarded through the mask, like the storm’s blown right through him and stripped him bare.
Soap’s breath hitches. “Why…” His voice cracks. “Why are ye here, Ghost?”
Ghost’s chest heaves once. Then he says, simply, “Because you’re here, Johnny.”
-or-Soap goes on leave, Ghost follows, and they FINALLY talk things out.

Summary
At the nights when he could not sleep, when lying in bed burned more strength than being awake Ghost got up, got dressed and moved to Price’s office. More often than not the light was still on, Price pouring over two files. Sometimes Laswell would pass through, or call- “Is there a lead on them?”
“Not yet, still on it.” Ghost would see Price’s shoulders sink a bit more at every negative. But the two files were never closed, never left the desk of their captain.The team looses contact to one of their own- but just as wounds start to heal there is a discovery:
Ghost kept an even breath, so much as a forceful exhalation could give you away to a careful listener.
Luckily, the men in front of them were busy keeping the prisoner off balance. Waking them up in the middle of the night- wear down the mental defences. He waited for them to come into view. Waited for the prisoner, stumbling along with hands tied and feet shackled . And felt his stomach plumet. That narrow jaw, the eyes, now deep set in the gaunt face.

Summary
John "Soap" MacTavish is a Pitbull Hybrid in a world that makes it quite clear that he's unwanted because his breed is considered "dangerous." There are strict laws against his fully animal counterparts, and sometimes people use that to their advantage against hybrids of his type. Heavily discriminated against, Soap joins the military and finds a place in the 141 where he's assigned to handler Simon "Ghost" Riley, and for the first time in his life Soap is treated as an equal.
Or
The 141 does their best to protect Soap from the rest of the world and have a lot of close calls.

Summary
It didn’t take long to register that the rumors behind the 141 weren’t completely baseless.
The stabbing pains started when Roach somehow, unceremoniously, ended up on the outside of that protective, tight-knit inner-circle.

Summary
Something’s going on with Ghost. Nothing bad, he doesn’t think, but something. Gaz laughed at him when he laid out his datapoints and told him he was jealous, which certainly didn’t fucking help. When he said he didn’t even know what to be jealous of, Gaz just said he’d figure it out eventually, a knowing grin plastered on his face. Asshole really, but it’s not like he has anyone else to go to.
He’s certainly not going to Price about this, he wouldn’t even know what to say.

Summary
“Are you tired?” Ghost asks, even though he knows the answer.
“I haven’t slept in a few days.” There it is.
“And for the few days that you did sleep?” He thinks he knows the answer to this too.
“I don’t know if you can really call it that.” Bingo.
or,
you've been on a mission for a while, and instead of going back to your own quarters, you go to ghost's.

Summary
”My ma’s dying.” He finally whispered, listening as Ghost went completely silent, “I mean, it could be another lie of hers but it just- it doesn’t feel like that this time.”
He could feel Ghost shift before an arm was draped around his back and Ghost nuzzled into the back of Soaps neck.
”She wants me and my sister back for Christmas but I can’t. Not alone and not with-“ Soap stopped himself, realizing he was going into something that he never wanted to.
But Ghost spoke to question it, “Not with what, Johnny?” He sounded worried.
Soap sucked in a sharp breath, trying to clear his head, “Not with my bastard of a father still kicking.”
Or
Soaps parents knew he was alive after the events with Makarov and still they never bothered to even give him a call. Now Soaps sister is begging him to come home for Christmas since their mother is dying and Soap agrees under one condition, Ghosts comes with. Unfortunately the bad days of Soaps past come to light and Ghost is unsure how to help him.
This is a sequel to my post-MW3 fic, Death Can’t Put Us Down.

Summary
As far as Ghost was concerned, there was nothing out of the ordinary about him. He was a soldier, like everyone else, trying his best to fit in a world that seemed less and less human every day. To him, his relationship with Soap was special. Ghost seemed to understand him well, and Soap understood him. Except that maybe their partnership wasn't an one time thing, a stroke of good luck. Who would have thought that spending one night in jail with the enemy could lead to so much understanding and even more confusion about that one part of himself he always took for granted?

Summary
A soldier with the callsign Felis didn't seem like someone to reckon with, but she'd developed a reputation integral to the triumph of many TF141 successes, nonetheless. However, like so many other soldiers, the repercussions of her actions delved deeper than she let on, repercussions that Ghost understood completely.

Summary
So, he’d resigned himself to this. To keeping his thoughts, his feelings, his words, to himself.
And they’d die there, shriveled and gasping with only the barest hint of life thrumming in them every time Johnny so much as looked at him. But biscuits? Fucking biscuits is what does it?

Summary
A demon's pact spoke for itself. It occurs when a demon decides to grant a request in exchange for what it desires from you. If a demon doesn't want something, it won't bother asking for it. It takes what it needs and then leaves.
But Simon was different, and Soap knew. He would never make him suffer or take advantage of him.

Summary
Ghost doesn't work alone, at least not since Price decided he would now be part of the big business, but he's (almost) over it. His team play improved and his ability to communicate with other players is no longer as stunted as before; he can take credit for it.
Still, he's a cryptic bastard who disappears into thin air when he sets foot on the base.
That's why the reappearance of a certain sergeant who was declared MIA makes him question all the progress he has made so far. Soap (oddly enough) is difficult to read, even though he's an open book. Yet Ghost realizes three fundamental things at the exact same time: One, his (stupid) mohawk is out of regulation. Two, he has anger issues that he (unfortunately) fails to hide. Three, he's never satisfied and fights as if time is slipping through his fingers.
Or better:
A volcanic explosion is produced by the heating of the magma inside the Earth, which seeks to escape through volcanoes. Ghost isn't so lucky to be around when that happens.
Rome was not built in a day, but it did fall in twenty-four hours.
[ Hear me out, this was on hiatus for a while, so I'm rewriting the published chapters, then I'll proceed with the story ]
