Summary
The house was far from perfect, but it had potential - here they could live in peace and build up a life together, try to become civilians again and cope with all of their wounds. When they were told that a murder happened in the house, the former owner having been killed by a weird cult, it wasn’t enough to scare them away.
Which annoyed the fuck out of you, said “former” owner. You didn’t want people, hot or not, moving into your home.

Summary
Twenty-four hours ago, a coalition of dedicated men and women from around the world stopped a nuclear Holocaust. Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley had watched a sergeant, his sergeant, take a bullet to the head. For the second time in his career, he felt truly unhinged. Rage, all molten magma and overwhelming pressure, poured out of him and for a moment he truly was the God of Death. Blades snapped off in bone, throats torn out with bare hands, and the screaming. A howling that had the Konni soldiers faltering as he tore through them…only stopping when he caught Makarov by the arm…and then it was just long enough to let the subway train carry him further down the collapsing tunnel. He had, in a fit of wrath, wanted to keep the limb…a dedication to the sergeant he hadn’t realized meant so much to him until it was all too late.
Until it wasn’t.

Summary
“You look like shit, Johnny,” Ghost huffs, the skin around his eyes pulling down like he’s frowning.
“Excellent observation, sir.”
“Smart mouth.”
“Just for you, Lt.”
Ghost guides Soap around the back of the till. He goes easy, nibbling at the insides of his cheeks to try and tear the attention away from his mangled shoulder. Soap sits on the floor, back against the till. Ghost kneels in front of him. He lets his head thunk back against the wood, eyes jumping between Ghost’s and feeling that age-old sense of comfort settle like a cat in his lap.
Ghost’s eyebrows draw together behind the mask, “you’ve been shot,” he repeats.
Soap rolls his eyes, “aye, ye numpty.”
“I need a look at your shoulder.”
“I’m fine.”
“The bullet’s still in, Johnny.”What action movies tend to forget is that a bullet wound, no matter the location, is more likely to get you killed than not. Every piece of lead a man takes is a one-in-five shot at death. One-in-three if you take it in the trunk, and one-in-two between the ears. Soap has taken a bullet more than once, none of which lethal, which in his opinion can only be an act of God. That is to say, there is no ‘safe’ place to get shot.

Summary
Code named after the Greek god of archery, you prided yourself for your aim and reputation as an infamous sniper. You thought, like with any other job, your assignment with Taskforce 141 would be the same, but all of that changed when Laswell sent you undercover.
Armed with nothing more than a knife and the watchful eyes of your mysterious lieutenant, you’re sent into the lion’s den to lure and capture the enemy. Though, the mission doesn’t go well for you and Ghost is left to pick up the pieces.
You find that your relationship after transforms into something new… something closer. He promises to protect you, and he fully intends on keeping that promise.
TLDR: an angsty slow burn between reader and Ghost following some serious trauma bonding and military fraternization ;)

Summary
“Two guys walk into a bar,” Ghost says.
“Not in the mood,” Johnny growls.
Silence.
“The third ducks.”
“Bleeding Jesus, Ghost,” Johnny mutters.
“Why don’t dinosaurs talk?” Ghost asks. He rocks back on his heels, face still pointed upwards.
“I’m not doing this with you,” Johnny says.
“Why don’t dinosaurs talk, Johnny?”
There’s a perfect stream of water falling off the ends of a branch a few yards off. It’s making a tiny pond in the forest floor far below, a pond that is slowly swelling out of its banks and turning into a river, trickling through fallen leaves and bracken. Johnny stares at that, refusing to meet Ghost’s eyes. He’d swung his gaze around to look at Johnny, head tilted slightly down, eyes glinting light through the darkness of the mask and greasepaint. That look turns Johnny’s spine to jello, breaks down his resolve and makes something dangerous warm in his stomach. He doesn’t know if Ghost is aware that he does it, if he knows how fast Johnny’s resolve crumbles at that look.
“Why don’t they talk, ye fuckin’ bobber?” Johnny says through grit teeth.
“Because they’re dead.”

In which Simon Riley is reborn to save Ghost. -

Title- Nothing Else Matters by Metallica
A completely self-indulgent OC x Canon fic simply because I love Gaz. Tags will be updated as the story progresses, as will Hastur's backstory. It's a wild ride. Please be patient with me, this is my first fic on ao3 and chapters may start off short. Also, I understand almost nothing about what military bases and/or barricks look like, so don't kill me. -

Summary
Fin is used to working alone, although being Captain, he distrusts most people he meets, aside from a select few, other than that, he's alone.
His experience of partaking in missions with a team didn't end well the last time he did it, so his insistence that he's "better off alone" (classic) allowed him to go solo for a few years, which wasn't Laswell's preferred way of him working.But when Killian Herrmann, a familiar 'friend', arises for the second time, with Fin seeking for his vengeance, Laswell's had enough.
When Laswell decides to introduce Fin to Task Force 141, the two Captains meet, and clash, everything goes awry, until they both can suck it up and deal with it in their own time. After all, mission above everything else, right?
Who knows, maybe Captain Francis 'Fin' Markowski will learn to like people more, maybe they'll make up and ignore their differences. Or finish the job, say bye-bye and go back to their sad, lonley, old lives.

authors note: This is a purely Fictional piece of work. NO CHARACTERS FROM THE CALL OF DUTY FRANCHISE BELONG TO ME (they belong to Activison) ! This is a free form style of fan-fic, I will not be going fully from the gameplay of CoD or MW1/2/3 there will be minor crossovers with a few TV shows or bands only because I like them (this is my piece of work, don't like it? simply just totally forget about it and respectfully leave). BUT, positive criticism is accepted please leave your thoughts in the comments and I will get back to you. TYSM for reading this and lets get into it ;)...
