Summary
Every time he fell asleep in MacTavish’s bed, every time MacTavish soothed nightmares away with pet names and soft touches smoothing over trembling skin, every inside joke, every time he wiped away his tears, every time they made each other laugh, every time he looked a little too long at the way Ghost smiled, or the pink flush that dusted over his cheeks when he was embarrassed, or the way his eyes would flicker into half moons when he got happy— Ghost wouldn’t trust him with all of it if he knew Soap was fucking in love with him.
soap realises he’s in love; he decides to cut it all off before it gets any worse.

Summary
“Well— alright,” Ghost accepted it easily. “I can get ‘em for you.”
“I— what?”
“I’m stationed at Redford Barracks,” Ghost replied carelessly. “There’s a Tesco right outside, half an hour on the bus into Edinburgh town centre. Can you wait that long?”
soap, on medical leave and roped into taking care of his niece, calls for the very best backup he knows; he discovers some things about himself in the meanwhile.

Summary
“Bloody hilarious,” MacTavish deadpanned, hand squeezing around the back of his neck— “now c’mere.”
“What?”
“I’m cold,” MacTavish replied, and he let go of Ghost to leave him cold as he unzipped his sleeping bag, “come here.”

Summary
Ghost knew secrets, so he let MacTavish keep them. He didn’t need to know every little detail, didn’t need to know how he ended up with a decorative plate from Iceland or what was up with all the pillows in his house and on his sofa or if that was his cup, a lumpy thing made of clay in the back of the cupboard that had been painstakingly been painted years before and was chipping at the edges.
To Ghost’s chagrin, there was nothing in the field manual about wanting to know someone— nothing about wanting to live outside of the military, and nothing at all about being human with anyone else at all.

Summary
He was aware of the pull of stitches on his face, but they didn’t hurt, and there was a pressure on his face— he felt detached from it all, like the moment before he might fall asleep, teetering on a precipice he had no particular concern to fall down; it took him several moments, then, to realise someone was in the room with him, voice quiet and murmured as they talked to themselves. He tried to open his mouth to say something, but his lips were dry, and the pressure— he was almost sure it was an oxygen mask— was getting in the way; frustrated, he reached up to it—
And found his wrist was cuffed.Legally, Simon Riley is dead. Ghost remains, an asset of the British military; his status favours him for the off the books missions, conditions where no man should be able to carry out the mission and come out unscathed.
He can carry out the mission.
He doesn’t always come out unscathed.Series
