Summary
"MacTavish! Care to share with the rest of the class?" Murphy's voice boomed across the room, freezing Soap in place. Within a second, all eyes in the room focused on him, leaving shame to burn through his entire body.
"Just—tryin' to keep it light," Soap managed a weak laugh at his words, though it ended in a wince as he realized how thick his accent became. His smile faltered as his brain scrambled to find a better reply, or a way out without making a fool of himself, or something—
"Shut up, Soap." Murphy's growl cut through the air like a whip, low and sharp as he bared his alpha fangs. "We're about to go on a mission, now's not the time for your bloody stand-up routine. Keep it professional for once."

Summary
“MacTavish, on your fucking feet,” Ghost barks. He’s… angry..?
Johnny doesn’t want to make him angry.
He nods, his head sinking down to his chest before jolting up and repeating.
He’s fine.
Just has to get back on his feet.

Summary
If anyone bothered to ask Ghost who he was, he figured he'd just stare at them for a moment, and say three simple words.
"A stray dog."
He didn't mean to bite. Didn't mean to bare his teeth or snap at every outstretched hand.
It wasn't in his nature—not really.
He didn't want to be like this.
He just didn't know how to be anything else.

"Jesus fucking Christ, MacTavish," Ghost snapped, his voice cutting through Soap like a bullet through bone, making mincemeat of his heart as it dropped clear to his feet. "Shut the fuck up."
— # —
In the wake of Hassan's death and stolen moments in Las Almas, Soap can't seem to quiet his mind—and Ghost won't let himself rest. Haunted by guilt and convinced he's the problem, Ghost starts doing what he does best: pushing people away before they can see the mess he really is.
If he's alone, maybe Soap will be safe.
But Johnny MacTavish has never been good at backing down.

Summary
“Jinx!”
There’s a few snickers from the other three soldiers with them born of sheer disbelief that their lieutenant just called jinx on him, and Johnny wants to laugh, too. He wants to ask if he’s still in kindergarten, if he still believes in the tooth fairy and Saint Nick and whatnot-
-but when he opens his mouth to throw a quip at the man, no sound comes out.
Frowning, he clears his throat and tries again.
Nothing.
No matter how hard he tries, his vocal cords fail to produce any noise at all.
“Oh, thank fuck,” Branshaw hisses. “You don’t ever shut up, do you? Bet your team’s just as sick of you as we are, you loudmouthed annoying arse. Can’t you see that everyone wants you to shut the fuck up?”

Summary
Soap’s heart clenched painfully another time.
He had hoped that it could become more, just like he had hoped that the 141 could become more, but he was fucking stupid.
He was a soldier, easily exchangeable for the team, and he was, if anything, a friend with benefits, for Ghost. Easily exchangeable as well.
“Price’s wounded, Johnny. Gaz’s right, just keep your mouth for one fucking mission.”A version of the "They tell Soap to shut up and he does at the wrong time"-trope.

Summary
John “Soap” MacTavish never liked the silence, but he knew it was necessary.
John would describe himself as a very likable person. Albeit loud, he made friends everywhere he went with his outgoing and easy personality. Overall, he was an easy person to get along with.
The only catch was he talked a shit ton.
--OR--
The popular plotline where the 141 tells Soap to shut up. Only this time, Soap has had enough.

Summary
Ghost hated Soap. Of that, Soap was absolutely certain.
But he didn’t understand why Ghost despised him so. Soap had been nothing but friendly to him, offering to share his snacks, and even trying to lend him his favorite plushie one time.
Ghost hadn’t appreciated the gesture, and Soap had been left alone behind a closed door with his tail tucked between his legs, and his ears pressed flush to his head.

Summary
He's sleep deprived but still optimistic that everything'll be fine. Even though Price is mad at him, Ghost isn't speaking to him, and he's been sent off to work on his own while they have their own happy little team. Soap's fine, it's part of the job.
Until the job unexpectedly drops the building he was supposed to blow up.

Summary
“They say the Ghost has no heart,” the soldier says, casual like he’s just come back from an evening stroll instead of a torture session. Without breaking eye contact, he taps the tip of his knife, still wet with Johnny’s blood, against the one-way glass, leaving behind a smear of crimson. “But I do not think that is true. I think I have found the Ghost’s heart, and I have strung it up like meat from butcher. Right. There.”
The man smiles, close-lipped and unassuming, and that disturbs Ghost more than any grin with too many sharp teeth ever will.
“It is pretty heart. Very pretty. But like butcher, I will carve it up in front of you if you do not tell me what I want to know."

Summary
Listen, this is not a super original set of ideas. I just thought that the trope where Soap is told to shut up paired with him getting buried alive like Ghost was needed to exist together. So enjoy the angst and the inevitable comfort. >:3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone in Soap's life has told him he's just too much. Not in the 141 though. But that can't last forever. He's bound to mess it up soon. It seems to happen on a particular mission, when Johnny gets trapped in a grave with a corpse. When the team realizes where they've made him wait for so long, they feel nothing but regret. Particularly Ghost, who is all too familiar with spending time underground...

/ˌekōˈlālyə/1.
PSYCHIATRY
meaningless repetition of words just spoken by another person, occurring as a symptom of mental conditions.
---“Fucking Christ, MacTavish, would you shut the fuck up for one fucking second?!”
Soap freezes in his seat.
“Do you always have to run your goddamn mouth?!”
And soap, doesn’t even know what to say. What to do.

Some are fluff. Some are angst. Will have CW should they be needed on each individual story. (I don’t screw around with this.)
