    Summary

    Ghost is motionless, staring down at John's outstretched hand like he's trying to recall on which page of How to Behave Like a Real Human in Polite Society he’s previously seen the gesture.

    Before things can get awkward, John turns the aborted handshake into a jovial, manly sort of punch to Ghost’s shoulder. It's rather like how he imagines it would be to hit an adult moose, both in the physical sensation and in the frisson of anticipated danger it elicits. Gamely, he says, “Truck’s just about set, sir. Glad to be working with you.”

    Ghost’s eyes flick up to John’s face, and then higher, to his hair. He frowns.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of Makarov’s attack, a forcibly retired Soap is left alone and bored in the Scottish Highlands with nothing to do but secretly paint portraits of the man he misses the most.

    When an idle wish brings one of his paintings to life, Soap does very little to discourage this miraculous new clone of his former Lieutenant from sneaking into his bed. It’s not like anyone - let alone Ghost - will ever find out, after all.

    He should’ve known a copy of Ghost would be just as persistent and cunning as the real man himself.

    Summary

    What becomes of life when everything you know is upended?

    But what if everything you know is hardly worth clinging onto?

    John MacTavish inherits a farmhouse in a dead-end village out of the city and returns to it out of obligation more than hope. Quiet, rundown, and half-forgotten, it seems like the right place to disappear into while he 'grieves,' away from prying eyes and pitying shoulder-claps. But he’s seen something he shouldn’t have. And someone’s been sent to fix it.

    The Ghost is a man who does what he’s told. Efficient, careful, and long past believing in anything else, he’s not meant to think twice. So it rattles him, when the job goes south.

    It doesn't take long to find that it's easy to run, when you never loved what you're leaving behind. And easier still, when you've got someone to run with.

    Ghost was MIA for seventy two hours.

    And then he came back.

    The call came in on the radio from the south gate. Lone figure on foot.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Beautiful slow burn with an undertone of derealisation, not explicit in the early chapters. Yum.
