Summary
Falling in love with his sergeant will just kill both of their careers. It's just hormones. He's not a kid. He'll just get it out of his system and everything will be fine. That's exactly what Ghost tells himself, until Soap steps into his stall. Bloody fucking hell. Now he has a secret he can't ever tell.
That's fine, really. Right up until he's sent on a solo op. When he's given an experimental drug to obtain information, the enemy isn't prepared for the monster they unleash. Fortunately for Ghost, there's only one man who's coming after him into this mess.

Summary
“He closed his eyes, trying to purge the nightmare from his mind.
He really hadn’t seen or even thought of Johnny in… 2 months?
Has it been that long? A weird feeling settled in Simon. Longing? No.He couldn’t long for a sergeant that nearly died. Ghost made the mistake of getting close to Johnny. And it nearly cost the Scotsman’s life.
He wouldn’t get close to him again, knowing now the sergeant could die and leave Ghost alone again.He chose to be alone. For safety.”

Tell me, what am I thinking right now? by stoprightnow125

Summary
The average person tends to have 45 thoughts per minute, which results in roughly 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts per day. Now, what would you do if you could hear the thoughts of people you’re touching?
With the 141’s last mission ending up very badly, resulting in a fleeing Makarov and a very much injured and comatosed Soap, the 141 was forced to halt its operations for the time being. As luck would have it, something was happening with Soap that couldn’t be explained by anything. Starting with his awakening way too early for a head injury that bad, Soap began to feel something stirring in his body.

Summary
"'Soap?' Ghost asked, dumbfounded. He knew what drag was, he wasn’t fucking stupid, but knowing what drag is and seeing the man you’ve been infatuated with for years at a gay bar, in drag, are two entirely different things to contend with.
Soap tutted, placing one hand on a generous hip–Ghost was certain he’d put padding there–and the other flat on his chest, as if he was offended at the question.
'That's Lady Lather t'you, sir.'"Or
The song Andrew in Drag REALLY did a number on my psyche. -

Summary
“The fuck are you doing Si” Roach grabbed his hand like he was about to let go of a live grenade. When Simon deadpanned stared Roach asked with exasperation. “Weren’t you all warned about the Soap Protocol? Ghost squinted his eyes and Roach groaned. “Not sure who you pissed off to not be warned about it but the Soap Protocol. Explicitly states; wake the chaos gremlin with a ten foot pole and be prepared to meet god.” Ghost looked over at the sleeping sergeant “ok.. I can see him being a nightmare when woken up.” So Ghost made it his personal mission to enforce said protocol.

Summary
Around him weights shifted, words echoed, glasses clinked but Simon’s mind registered none of it. It was all noise, dull and unnecessary static. Faded and unimportant in the face of the presence of the sun. His blue-eyed, brown-haired Scotsman-shaped sun. John MacTavish. His Johnny.
The object of his obsession, the very personification of his desire.Or, Simon misses his babygirl Soap after a solo-mission and can't wait to have him.

Summary
"Y'know, you have a starin' problem," Simon commented, voice rich with playful warmth, dropping into something undeniably flirtatious—far removed from their earlier professional interaction. "You do it throughout all of my lectures."
John froze, eyes darting away quickly, embarrassment fierce and immediate. "Fuck, sorry…"
Simon tutted gently, stepping closer, the gravel crunching softly beneath his boots. He reached out slowly, gently catching John’s chin with careful fingers, tilting his face back up until their gazes locked again. "I like when you look at me."
John's breath caught sharply, chest tightening with anticipation. He leaned unconsciously into Simon's touch, eyes wide, earnest, searching for confirmation. "You flirt with all your students like this, or…?"
Simon laughed quietly, a soft, honest sound, thumb brushing tenderly along John's jawline, igniting another fiery burst of heat within his gut. "No," Simon confessed gently, his voice deepening into something earnest, vulnerable. "It's a line I haven't crossed—until you."

Summary
“Do us a favour and set us an alarm for six, before we sleep,” John hummed, making the mental note for later. But his thoughts were soon shelved when he felt Simon bit down on his collarbone.
The buzzing on a phone broke through Simon’s sleep, an ache was felt through his body, one that he welcomed happily along with the memories of what had happened only a few hours prior. Instead of being able to continue on last nights events, Simon turned around to find John’s side of the bed empty and the sound of the shower echoing through the room. Simon shifted over the John’s side of the bed, looking to turn off the alarm. However, John’s phone was nowhere to be found, the sound of the running water was accompanied by John’s music.
“Shit,” Simon hissed, clambering back to his side of the bed, picking up his buzzing phone. It was nearly nine o’clock, and this was not the first phone call that had come through; he was meant to be on his way to Manchester by now.
_-_-_-_
What if Simon still owned Tommy and Beth's house, but no one knew, so when he has to rush out one morning to help sort the plumbing, Johnny is left to jump to conclusions.

Summary
Werewolves are blacklisted due to their feral and violent nature, seen as little more than maggots infesting a corpse. Werewolves are often lobotomized because of this aggression. Johnny, a werewolf, knows better than this of course. Only the bare minority turn into mindless slaves that hunt for the sake of bloodlust. And it's this minority that keeps the rest of his species chained. He keeps his monster blood hidden from the 141, erasing that part of him from military and health files, knowing full well he’ll be either shot in the head for it or discharged and lobotomized. He’d rather take the latter.
Johnny keeps himself well hidden, planning out his leave at the beginning of each month, and what 'trick' he'll use to take it. After all, taking a 'sick' leave once a month becomes suspicious, and he doesn't want a single soul to uncover what he truly is. But for now, he'll keep with the lie that he's a regular human, a rarity within the monster world.
Unfortunately things take a turn for the worst when he meets a local at a bar.
