Summary
Pinkies entwined – untwined, forgotten,
a muddle of words hastily scrawled and undecipherable,
Ghost would never forget, never dream of anything else –
drowning and draining and taunting – unspeakable.
His gilded, blood-soaked longing,
filling the cavities with corpses;
“I love you,” Soap smiled, all Ghost saw was blood,
spilling out – clutching and begging and failing –
salvation. A pathetic idea.
Those three words of acrid love –
they relentlessly burned themselves
beneath Simon’s skin, and in the darkness
he saw him – how many times had it been?
He tightened his grip and stayed – for Johnny,
always for Johnny – now until forever;
“Come back to me.”
“I will.”TL;DR Ghost gets stuck in a timeloop of Graves's betrayal and desperately searches for a way to get out alive. The only problem is that Soap is a stubborn soul, and so is Ghost.

Summary
“Fuckin’ hell, Johnny.” Ghost was standing in the middle of the carnage, covered in blood like a fallen angel.
Thank God.
Johnny’s grip loosened on his rifle, dropping the muzzle forwards. Ghost was on him in a second, only needing to take a single stride to get to Soap and tuck an arm around Soap’s waist, tugging the weapon from his hand.
Soap could feel his heart beat in his left arm- hanging limply at his side, blood dripping off his fingers. “Nah, still on earth last I checked.”
He had hoped Ghost would at least chuckle, but the man did not seem to find anything funny about this for some reason.Bookmarked by shoestrum

Summary
John “Soap” MacTavish, excellent sniper and demolitions expert, some may even say a bit of a fanatic. Truly a wild card, always running head first into anything and buzzing with excitement. One would think he wasn’t afraid of anything, or that nothing could push this man down…well, that is until the team goes on a mission.
——-
Alternative: Soap has a fear/phobia of heights after nearly getting thrown out a window, it’s never bothered him before until now.Bookmarked by shoestrum
