    Summary

    Soap is a PhD student, doing his research in Antarctica on the behaviors and hunting habits of leopard seals. During his expedition, he becomes obsessed with a leucistic seal, who he's taken to calling Ghost.

    His attempts at tagging Ghost for tracking purposes have all failed, leaving Soap frustrated, but determined to try again. He won't stop until he gets the data he needs for his dissertation.

    At the same time, Soap is stuck in an escalating, heated flirting match with a hydroponics employee at another base. It's foolish to form romantic relationships with someone he knows will vanish from his life once their expeditions are over, but there's something fascinating about this man that he can't ignore.

    *****

    A fun little MerMay twitter fic, adapted for easier reading on ao3!

    Summary

    The Thesus’s Ship is a paradox, a thought experiment. If you replace every single part of a ship one by one until none of them are original, is it still the same ship?
    If every cell in Simon’s body has changed, is he still the child he used to be?
    Navigating through his memories, he sometimes struggles to believe they are the same, sometimes struggles to imagine they could be different in any meaningful way.

    One memory after another, retracing the journey that has led him here, he wonders what mistake the stranger he once was might have avoided. Could he do better, could he be better ?

    Summary

    "LOTUS is one of those places that is always busy and is almost too happening, but Riley trusts the bartenders and most of the regulars. Knows he's safe for the most part, but what night club is 100% safe all the time anyway?! Maybe that's the real reason he keeps coming back - the undercurrent of danger looming, lurking. Fuck it — YOLO."

    Riley thinks it'll just be another night out at his favorite club - cheap liquor, sweaty dancing, and maybe some casual sex if he's lucky. However, a sexy stranger has other ideas, and the sex is anything but casual.

    Summary

    Fated Foes. Fated Friends? Fated to be something more…? We’ll Meet Again follows the story of two of Fate’s finer creations. Two souls, handpicked by the divine herself, to walk the Earth together until the condition that breaks the spell which binds them is met. Through many reincarnations, living more lives than they could keep track of, John and Simon loath, laugh, live, and perhaps learn to love each other.

    Fate is to blame for a lot of things. Some of them good, some of them terrible. Some see her work in the little, bothersome moments, like forgetting your umbrella on the only rainy day in June. Others believe that she walks around with a ball of red yarn and ties it between the fingers of lovers as they sleep. Fate herself would say her actions are much, much larger than simply losing your keys or the trivialities of romance.

    We’ll Meet Again provides a glance into each of these fickle lives, where the men face trials, trivialities, and the huge challenge of coming to terms with their feelings. Feelings which, at the time, could land them in some very hot water.

    Summary

    Ghost has been looking for a good Dom for bloody ages. None of them have been able to give him what he really wants.

    Right before Ghost deletes the messaging app, a man named BigDong67 slides into his DMs and is like a damn unicorn, promising everything Ghost could ever want. They set a date and a scenario, converging at a pub far away from base. And things take a hard turn once they actually meet face to face.

    Will Ghost's ideal night be ruined by the surprise? Or will the fraternisation add a unique edge he hadn't expected?

    Summary

    “Missed me,” Ghost crackles in his ear. Warm, teasing. A tone that Soap is almost certain is reserved for him.

    Soap scoffs. "Prove it."

    “Aw,” Ghost tuts. “Don’t trust me?”

    No one I trust more, Sir. He doesn’t say it. Not that he isn’t sure Ghost already knows; if he’s even half as inhumanly perceptive as everyone gives him credit for, then he has to know, has to feel that tangible presence orbiting between them. (The direct acknowledgement of this entity feels too unshakably taboo. A point of no return that takes the shape of something gnarly; a feral elephant in the room that threatens to maul one or both of them down if addressed.)

    “Bastard,” he grumbles instead. Wonders if his voice is as thick with affection over the com as it sounds spoken aloud. Would it matter, if it was?

    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

    Soap paused, picking up the pen. He looked over his list. Three columns, “yes”, “no”, and “maybe”. He pulled the paper close. Hesitating, he underlined a single item, then crossed out the rest of them one by one. When he finished, he looked back at Ghost, as if daring him to say something about it. When Ghost didn’t, Soap pushed the paper over, crossing his arms over his chest.

    Underlined was “kneeling” under “yes”, the only thing left on the page. It didn’t matter what the other “yes” items had been, they were very clearly in the “no” column now.

    Ghost forced himself not to feel frustrated, had to admit to himself that Soap might be the most challenging sub he had ever had assigned into one of his units.

    Summary

    Ghost, under threat of another psychological evaluation from both his CO and therapist, has been forced to partake in a penpal programme with another soldier in order to "practise empathy" and "re-establish human connection." He hates it until he doesn't.

    MacTavish willingly volunteers for the SAS's new penpal programme because what the hell, it could be fun. And when his penpal ends up being adorably emotionally constipated, well, that certainly doesn't hurt.

    Summary

    He gets dressed swiftly, while Soap turns around onto his front so he can bury his head in the pillow. A tactic he has used too many times to count now, so that he would not have to see the other man leave and feel his heart squeeze only a little bit as he does so.

    Some days it feels like Ghost is taking his heart with him, carrying it between those hands that hold him down. As the door closes with a quiet click sound and the door handle moves to its original position again, Soap immediately knows that today is one of those days as the tears spring back into his eyes.

    or: Ghost only realises how much he is continously hurting Soap after weeks of being with each other. It takes Ghost almost losing Johnny to learn how he should have treated the Beta all along, he does so with a little help of the other Sergeant on their team.

    Summary

    John MacTavish hasn't seen Simon Riley since the day Simon rushed him to a London trauma center... and then walked away. The absence made John's road to recovery all the more agonizing, but luckily, the rest of the 141 along with other friends and family filled the hole left by a ghost.

    Now, three and a half years later, John finally has his life together. He works for the MOD (and the CIA... ahem) as a civilian demolitions consultant. He's got a house, a (mostly) clear head, and most importantly, a date with someone new to his best mate's wedding.

    John's ecstatic to be standing up as Kyle's best man. Unfortunately, it also means standing in the same room as a certain Lieutenant. It's okay, though. For Kyle's sake, John can keep all the anger and hurt festering inside of him in check. All he has to do is avoid Simon for the next few hours, and they'll go their separate ways.

    Too bad Simon has other plans that, unbeknownst to either of them, will change their lives forever.

    For better or for worse.

    Summary

    After a mission gone wrong, medical professionals labeled Ghost a danger to himself and others. In an attempt to rehabilitate him before his return to the field, the born submissive was assigned ten sessions at a dynamic clinic designed to help him regulate since he didn't have an assigned dominant. Despite wishing to be left alone to deal with the fallout on his own, he met his new therapist and professional dom, Soap, who managed to challenge and comfort him in ways that he never imagined before.

    Summary

    “M’ not looking to publish, Price —”

    “Send it, Simon,” Price insisted, that gleam turning into something entirely too serious. It was that unyielding type of faith Price had in him, the kind that made Simon think he could do impossible things. He’d spent years as a sniper, an assassin, a ghost on the field, but this — something so vulnerable and fragile, a peek at the childhood Simon had endured, was probably the most frightening of all.

    And so, without having any idea of what he was doing, Simon sent it.

    Soap feels a little nervous, always does with a new specimen, especially one who presents a whole helping of the unknown. He glances down again at the manifest in front of him:

    Summary

    It was odd, though not unpleasant, to be here with him like this, to have shared a meal at the same table. He could almost forget that he was in the presence of nobility. For a passing instant, they felt less like a baron and his attendant and more like friends.

    Edwardian era Historical AU in which Soap is the wayward heir to a Scottish barony, and Ghost is a manservant who has been sent by another noble to get him under control. There's a little bit of everything in this one, but above all else it is a love story.

    Summary

    "'Bout time we got another reptile in here," Gaz says brightly. "Maybe now Cap'll finally invest in some proper heaters."

    Soap chuckles, smoke leaking from his nostrils when he grins. "Ah'm plenty warm," he teases, drawing Gaz under his wing, the snake wriggling happily, his round pupils shining as his cheeks flush pink. He rests his chin on Soap's shoulder with a tiny hiss, content to curl around him and soak up the heat of Soap's fire.

    "Ghost is out on a mission," Price tells him. "You'll only get to meet him when it's basically wheels-up, unfortunately. He's, ah, a bit of a prickly sort, but impress him and you won't have any problems."
