    Summary

    After a mission gone wrong leaves Simon “Ghost” Riley deaf in one ear and Johnny “Soap” MacTavish with a permanent leg injury, both men are forced into early retirement. Soap uses his pension to buy a crumbling house on the edge of a quiet town, determined to make something of it, even if the place looks like it should’ve come with a tetanus shot.

    Ghost shows up with a duffel bag and his usual scowl, moving into the guest room to help with renovations. Between faulty wiring, leaking pipes, and a fridge that seems to growl at two a.m., the two of them fall into a new rhythm of grocery runs, hardware store trips, and late-night fixes. The banter is sharp, the silences softer than either expected, and somewhere between the broken walls and peeling paint, they begin to rebuild more than just the house.

    It’s a story about finding purpose when the battlefield is gone, about healing old wounds in the comfort of shared domestic chaos, and about realizing that sometimes “home” isn’t a place, it’s each other.

    Summary

    “Welcome to Stirling Simulation Facility. Today’s exercise is designed to test infiltration, hostage recovery and threat elimination under dynamic conditions.”
    Any team member who suffers a simulated fatal injury will be extracted immediately. No second chance. No heroic recoveries. You’re dead. You’re out. Your team continues without you.”

    “I thought Ghost didn’t do training runs.” The voice came from further away and Stich glanced over to see Captain Ellis step closer to the glass.

    “He doesn’t.” One of the other higher ups said with a nod. “God only knows why he agreed to do one now.”

    Summary

    So, Soap’s a big guy. Obviously.

    He’s not overly tall, but he’s wide in the shoulders and thick in the thighs. He’s the kind of big that’s naturally built all over: training muscles on top of mission muscles on top of an innate bulk.

    He’s the kind of big that makes him immovable to most guys.

    The kind of big that’s always been -ger than most everyone else—if not by height, than at least by heft.

    So when they’re on mission and Ghost spots a grenade before Soap does, and, with no time to warn him, grabs him by the waist and flings him back behind cover, gear and all, Soap’s really not expecting to think much about it, aside from maybe, ‘Oh, shit.’

    What he thinks instead is: ‘Oh-hmm.

    And then, in rapid succession: ‘Big.

    ------ ------ ------ ------ ------ ------

    Or, Soap realizes that Ghost is bigger than him. His dick realizes that’s hot.

    Summary

    Freediver John “Soap” MacTavish has trained for years to break the world diving record—pushing his body beyond limits, mastering the silence of the deep. But as the record attempt nears, something begins to stir beneath the surface.
    Something watching him.
    Something waiting.

    It starts as a feeling, a presence just out of reach, one that fills him with unease... and a strange sense of longing. The deeper he dives, the more he feels it, a pull that’s not just in his mind, but in his bones.
    Like he’s not alone down there. Like whatever is waiting for him in the dark has always been meant for him, and him alone.

    Summary

    There’s a ghost haunting the 141 common room. At least, Soap is about 80% sure there is, which is, in fairness, realistically about as sure as anyone could reasonably be about spooks haunting their workplace. He’s not stupid, he knows no one else is going to believe him if he brings it up. The scorn if he suddenly starts harping on about ghosties and ghoulies.

    None of that negates the fact that there definitely is one though. Probably.
