    Chained In The Dark:

    I’m the son of the son of the witches you failed to burn…
    The problem with old gods… is that you believe that they are sleeping. That as you curl into your blankets or build your churches, you soothe yourself that they are simply old stories, more myth than substance.
    You’re half right.

    Summary

    He'd earned his rank, his honors, and his name. There’s been little time where he wasn’t working, being sent on mission after mission. John went where he was ordered and completed the job he was given, he was confident.  That didn't mean he was ready to lead a Task Force of twenty soldiers.

     

    Ghost sits across from him, lowering his bag to the floor next to him. Still sitting ramrod straight.

    Summary

    It's early November, and Ghost and Soap are getting ready for their first Christmas officially together.

    “Daniel and I, we’re hosting dinner at ours this year, and we wanted to you to know there’s space at the table for you and Ghost both.”

    Her choice of words was not lost on him; it would be a long time before he forgot how last Christmas ended.

    “Thanks, Fiona, appreciate that,” Johnny murmured.

    Summary

    “So then, where do you go?” Soap had managed to get the words out while in between rounds of sparring, drinking obscene amounts of water in between syllables. When Ghost looked at him like he had grown a third arm – confused, curious, mildly terrified – he clarified. “During mail call?”

    Soap could identify almost every single emotion Ghost had, even through the mask and the greasepaint and the faceplate. But the forced neutrality? That wasn’t quite yet decrypted. He could understand the half-hearted shrug Ghost threw him. “Depends,”

    or

    Soap takes Ghost home with him and Ghost becomes a part of the family.

    Summary

    The thing he admired most about him was the reason he couldn’t do it. Soap was loyal to a fault. And now she’s taken that for granted. Chewed it up, spit it out, and ground her heel in it for good measure. Ghost prays to a god he doesn’t believe in that he never sees the traitorous bitch again.

    OR

    Sent home early from deployment, Soap wants to surprise his family, but his homecoming goes horribly wrong. Heartbroken, he comes back to base to the ones he trusts most. Ghost wants to show him just want loyalty means to him.

    Summary

    Of course there's always the muscle and the beautiful eyes and the every other tiny thing that has kept Ghost strung along in the last year and a half since Soap first walked up and demanded to be allowed to try for the 141. That's a part of it, Ghost knows. The drive, the determination to be the best without even taking into account his natural advantages when shifted into…whatever it is he becomes. Soap has always been cagey about that. But Ghost has always been attracted to competence, and this insolent, insubordinate little shit is also probably the single most competent soldier Ghost has ever had the good luck to work with.

    And then there's the fact Soap is a hybrid. A damned powerful one at that.

    -

    The predator in him can't deny the inherent thrill of having prey so close; the satisfaction of remaining undetected is a high he'll never get sick of. Though he's strictly human, Ghost is stealthier by far than any other Soap has met. It's probably why he's so pathetically infatuated with the man. He mentally shakes himself, returning to the mission at hand as he and Ghost both watch the men beneath them until they enter a door and are out of sight.

    Then they move.
