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.

Summary
Ghost can handle torture. Torture is easy, it’s been done to him so many times he can turn his brain off and it’s like it’s not even happening. Except they’re not torturing him, they’re torturing Soap on his behalf. Tearing him apart piece by piece so that Ghost will tell them everything.
But their mission is on the line, and Soap is telling him to let it happen, that his life isn’t as important as keeping their intel out of enemy hands.
So he bites his tongue while they break Soap, just waiting for the moment they make a mistake.

Summary
He let his eyes run over them, lingering only as long as he felt necessary to make Roba think he was appreciative.
"They're quite lovely. You're a man of good taste and it shows in not just your estate, but your slaves." He wanted to bite his own tongue off as he said the words, knowing now that this week would be more challenging than he initially thought.
"Which would you like?"
John blinked. "I'm sorry?"
"As our honored guest, you have your choice of our best offerings. Whichever slave you choose will be prepared to your liking and sent to your room for the duration of your stay."

John MacTavish finds himself in the castle of a cruel ruler who is rumored to have his eye on the Garrick crown. In a desperate attempt to infiltrate his ranks, he must keep the king occupied while Price puts his ear to the ground.
The only problem is that the king's desire to show off his human collection had placed John in a difficult position. Given a slave to attend to his needs for his stay means that he must balance his own moral compass with the very real risk of exposing their operation and losing their lives, or worse.

Summary
He realized those eyes stared at him expectantly. Oh shit! He missed the order.
John let out a little laugh and blinked a few times, "Sorry about that, I missed it. Can you repeat it?"
The man smiled back, "Can I get a.. Earl Grey with no sugar."
"S-Sure thing. I'll get it going. What's the name?" He held the marker to the cup in his hand.
"Simon. Thanks." He flashed John another smile and walked to the end of the counter to wait.

John MacTavish is late to the coffee shop he works at after a late night argument with his girlfriend the previous night. He can't shake the memory playing on a loop in his head until a voice snaps him out of it. The customer before him has him fumbling for words and smiling like crazy. He's never felt anything quite like it before and now in place of the memory of the fight, he can't shake thoughts of the mysterious man who has held his thoughts captive since. He can only hope to see him again.
