Summary
“Where is he,” Soap barked out, the gun firm in his hand. “What did you do with him?”

can I get a rain check on this heart of mine? by amongthebooks

Summary
It almost feels like you're ignoring me on purpose... It’s been what, three weeks since we last spoke?
The voicemail rang loud in Ghost’s head. No, no that couldn’t be right. He didn't- He wasn't intentionally ignoring Johnny. He just needed his phone back, then he could fix everything.
Ghost couldn't believe that three weeks had passed since he’d been taken captive.
Look, I have two weeks left…and I'm tired of hearing the dial tone after you don't pick up. If you can't be bothered to answer my calls or even send a text then… then I think we might need to have a talk when I come back.
Simon’s heart caught in his throat. What did he mean by- Oh. This was it. Johnny wanted to cut things off.
or
Soap is on leave when Ghost unknowingly goes MIA. After not hearing from him, Soap leaves Ghost a voicemail, insinuating that he wants to break up.
What happens when his captors get a hold of what Soap said?

Summary
“Oh my god!” Soap’s mother exclaimed. “John, get over here, look at what's on the news!” She was loud enough that Ghost could hear through the phone.
“Soap,” Ghost cut in, trying to divert his attention, “Soap, stop. Stay where you are, don’t look.”
He ignored him, glancing at the TV to see that a news station was showing footage of a plaza outside of an important facility. Right in the middle of the square, strapped down to an old statue, was enough explosives to level the surrounding 10 blocks, at the very least.
Worse, though, so much worse, was a tall, well built man in all black military gear, hood pulled up and gloves covering his hands. Standing directly in front of the explosives.
or
Home on leave, Soap has to instruct Ghost on how to disarm a bomb over the phone. The pair make a good team - but not every mission can end well.
Ghost has dug himself out of his grave once already. Can he do it again?

Summary
Ghost was certain now was the moment that the intruders would recognize him. Surely training their guns on him as he was made a hostage with the rest of his team.
“I said get down!” The boss snapped as Ghost felt the butt of the rifle strike his face. Knees aching as he was forced to drop to the ground.
And that was that.
He forgot, with the rush of things around him, that he was in casual attire with a surgical face mask. He may still look large and unapproachable, but not like did when he was on base. Of course they didn’t recognize him.
They thought he was a civilian.
or
While off base, the 141 are unexpectedly caught up in a robbery. The raiders clock Soap, Gaz and Price as SAS operatives…but without his usual gear, Ghost was seen as just another guy. His team is rounded up, whilst he's treated as a civilian.
Can Ghost take down the attackers and rescue his team without exposing his identity?

Summary
“We can’t, sir.” Soap cut him off. “You know the rules, it leads to an imbalance of power. I’d be pressured, with my career in your hands and all that…“ The words almost sound methodical, like he was citing them by memory.
Ghost stood frozen as he listened. He had prepared himself for rejection, figuring that regardless of the outcome, he could at least get it off his chest.
But this? Soap was saying that he didn’t feel comfortable around him. That he thought Ghost would take advantage of him.
or
When Ghost confessed his love towards Soap, the last thing he had expected was to be rejected. Suddenly terrified that he coerced Soap into interacting with him because of his higher rank.
So he requests a temporary transfer. Leaving Soap to come to terms with his budding feelings for the man, alone.
Can Soap make things right? Or did he end their relationship before it even began?

Summary
Ghost had no time to react as an attacker lunged at him, sending both of them flying backwards. His muscles tensed to brace for a quick impact… only it never came. Fuck, they were still falling. Why were they still falling?
A fact realized only a moment too late, was that both men were fighting in a wing that was still under construction, around a place that would soon be a stairwell. The caveat? Instead of that finished structure, there was a
big
gaping
hole.or
Ghost takes a fall while on a mission, Soap finds him in an interesting predicament.

Summary
Ghost could feel how he had gotten flung on impact. Enough that, looking past his outstretched arm, he could see a small velvet box that had sprung open. The shine of a small metallic object catching his eye as he realized what exactly was sitting out unprotected in the roadway.
The ring.
or
After months of careful planning, Ghost had finally worked up the courage to propose to Soap. Deciding to pop the question while off on a nighttime walk, he made sure that everything was perfect.
Though life seemed to have a different plan when Ghost was suddenly struck by a car.

Summary
“Don’t be daft, we just need to make a space big enough so you don’t break anything during your shift.”
Ghost was stuck in place, frozen by Soap’s words. For how large of a man he was, it was as if he had all but physically shrunk down at the implication. “You know what I am?”
Soap hummed, unfazed. “I do.”
“So then you know how to stop it from happening, right?” the other man spoke, hopeful for the first time since entering the hut. “You can fix this before I hurt anyone?”
or
When a stranger stumbled into Soap's hut looking to buy a potion to prevent the lycanthropic process from taking hold, he was admittedly skeptical. Even moreso when he came to realize that the stranger was looking to use it on himself.
What happens when, instead of turning him away, Soap decided to him through his first shift?

Summary
The first time Soap opened his door to see a plate of orange slices at his feet, he dismissed it without thinking twice.
Plenty of soldiers were known for taking extra food back with them from the mess. When they suddenly decided not to indulge anymore, it was common for them to offload everything and continue on their way.
Sure, the slices were perfectly aligned in front of Soap’s door, but that had to be where his involvement ended, right?
or
Soap takes an interest in the Orange Peel Theory, coincidently around the time that orange slices begin following him around base.

Summary
“Next time you get shot, try to have them aim for your shit sense of humor, aye?” Soap joked before tenderly lifting Ghost’s arm, preparing to start stitching. “I’ll be careful, I promise.”
He tried not to think about how nice it was to feel the skin under his fingertips, or the warmth that spread through his body.
“You don’t have to be so...soft with me,” Ghost mumbled, “Not made of glass, Johnny, I can take it. I don’t care if it scars.”
“I do.”
or
What started as an eventful mission ended with Soap stitching Ghost up on the safe house's kitchen table. Looking for something to raise the man's sugar levels, Soap raided the cabinets until he found the last thing he expected-
A box of Valentine’s Day chocolates?

Summary
“Ghost,” Soap stressed, eyes not leaving the kitchen drawer. It all started to make sense - the custom knife. Ghost’s favorite dinner. The cake. The candles in front of him. Everything that the two of them had spent the day doing was finally coming together. “What is today?”
“I don’t know, Johnny.” Ghost responded from across the room, “Saturday?”
“No. What is today? Why am I looking at birthday candles?”
or
Ghost always requested leave for the same weekend every year. When he finally agreed to take Soap home with him, the other man couldn’t wait to uncover the reason why.
But never in a million years did Soap expect this.

Summary
“Were you ever going to tell me?” Soap asked in lieu of a greeting, still on his knees as he looked up to the masked man who stood over him. Hands shaking even after Ghost had pulled the polaroid out from between his fingers.
“Tell you what?” Ghost settled on after a moment. Soap noticed how the man’s eyes never left the photo, his thumb gently tracing over the young boy’s face.
“A kid, Simon. Were you ever going to tell me you had a son?”
or
Soap stumbles upon Ghost's box of old mementos and makes an incorrect assumption.

Summary
“That’s right,” the radio host continued, “keep your listening ears open, because for the next week we’ll be opening up our phones lines. Give us a call to get one step closer to being our lucky winner. We’ll keep going until we’ve reached our 100th caller, who will receive an all-expenses paid beach vacation for them and their family!“
Soap was the first to speak up, slapping Price on the back as he leaned in, “Oh this is perfect, Cap. You need to enter!”
“Tav is right, sir,” Gaz said, “No one needs a break more than you.”
“I suppose it would be nice to take my family somewhere nice, yeah?” Price admitted.
His family...right.
or
3 times the 141 imagined what they'd do on a beach vacation, and the 1 time they didn't have to.
