Summary
The more he looks, the more he finds. Severed file pathways, corrupted syntax, improperly shelved archives. Needles in a haystack, with the amount of data a mech like Ghost carries around. He should delete the films he’s found and leave the rest to gather dust, stop rifling through his caches and spare his hardware the processing strain.
He doesn’t. He saves the scraps he finds in a private, local directory, and he watches them while he charges, or during transit, or low-power stasis. Starts to feel a bit shameful about the whole thing, as if they’re not his to watch. As if he hasn’t got the clearance to remember his own life.

Summary
There’s a teddy in Soap’s bed; a beaten-up, old brown bear. Well-loved, if the state of the fur is any indication. Ghost lets out a choked laugh, mostly at his own expense. He wishes he was there, suddenly, wishes he was by Johnny’s side as he walked through the doorway and realised that his childhood room was waiting for him like a time capsule. Wishes he got to see the embarrassed scrunch of his face, the way the tips of his ears would flush red.
Soap has a whole second life, outside of the SAS. He’s got a mother, and a poorly-decorated bedroom, and a bear. All Ghost has is a flat that will be the same it is today as it will be the day he dies, like he was never even here at all.

Summary
When James retired from MI6, he thought that he was escaping it all: the chaos, the unexpected surprises, the random threats on his life. There’s none of that at Skyfall Lodge… right? Until a bespectacled little child turns up on his doorstep out of the blue. James can’t just leave him outside with a storm rolling in - and thus James Bond, ex-Navy and ex-00-agent, is reminded once again of how small things can cause a lot of chaos.

Summary
There was only so much you could do to a dead man, you see, before he became more of a liability than an advantage. In theory, the idea of not killing Ghost— of keeping him alive, taking him back to the base and torturing all the information they could get out of him was a good one. However, in practice, the issue became more complicated.
Or— Ghost is sent home to recover after being victim to cartel torture, and then Soap shows up.
