    Summary

    Simon Ghost Riley can’t be touched. He thinks, sometimes, that if someone ever touches his bare skin, he might shatter into a thousand shards of glass, the same way that if someone ever says a kind word to him beyond "job well done, Ghost", he might break in such a way that he’ll never, ever be able to put himself back together again. He thinks, regularly, that he might be very, very fucked up.

    Until Soap comes along. Soap, who has never been scared of him. Soap, who took one look at Ghost and his bulk and his defences and decided not to take them as the warning they are. Soap, who treats him like he’s normal. Soap, who came out of that fucking tunnel with a new scar on his temple and some chest candy to go with it, cocksure and confident, sharper and snarkier than ever.

    Can Ghost find the intimacy he so desperately craves and learn to love again? Will Soap help him unlock a part of himself he thought was dead forever?

    Spoiler alert: the answer is "yes".

    Summary

    “Anybody ever made you cry?” Soap asks, right into the skin of Ghost’s neck, and for a second Ghost forgets how to breathe.

    He knows what Soap is asking. Soap has him backed against the desk of Ghost’s own room, one of his knees resting between Ghost’s, both of them hard. Of course he knows what Soap is asking.

    Summary

    “Steamin’ bloody Jesus,” Soap breathes. “How often does he do this?”

    Gaz turns, then, and meets his eye. “Us, and Price… We’re the only ones who’d live to talk about it,” he says. “It’s a last resort.” He reaches out, then, and puts his hand on Soap’s arm. “Being his handler means being the one to call the shots, Soap. We’re the only bloody things he cares about. Everything else is fodder. If you ever have to make this call, you better be damn sure you don’t care about survivors, because there won’t be any.”

    Price had been so eager to give the order. Imagine holding the nuke in your hands, knowing that you’ll be the only thing to survive its detonation. Imagine being Noah, but with the power to call the Flood whenever he wished.

    Soap shivers, something not altogether kind or good curling around his brainstem at the notion.

    Whether Gaz clocks it or not, he can’t say, but he eventually murmurs, “You’ll need a psych eval after this. We all get one after Ghost smokes out. Even him.”

    Soap frowns. “Why?”

    Gaz shrugs. “You’ll have to ask him. Personally, I think we all like it a bit too much.”

    Soap blushes, and doesn’t have the words for why.

    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

    "Kids?" Soap asks, curving his fingers into a silent okay to Ghost without thinking. "Plural?"

    "Yes. A boy and a girl. Little Joseph was born a couple of months ago, according to the records."

    "Oh," is all Soap says because oh. He has a nephew. A little baby nephew. And then, because that is apparently not enough of a revelation, the doctor says:

    "You are listed as their legal guardian, Mr. MacTavish. We need you to pick them up."
