    Summary

    “What’re in the mood for then?” John asked, shifting slightly so the seatbelt still buckled in didn't dig into his neck. The creeping flush coming from his chest made him warm and nearly giddy.

    “Was asked for a ride if I remember correctly,” Simon smirked, sneaking a hand next to John’s thigh, the familiar click of the seatbelt loosening its hold. “Come on Captain,” he leaned back and got out of the car, leaving John stunted in the passenger seat of his own car. Feeling the rush of blood leaving his head and travelling south, the title thrown in there heightened his senses and made him take some serious deep breaths before he opened the car door.

    Simon grinned wickedly, leaning against a pillar next to the exit, John reached into the back seat to grab the cane - knowing he would have to use it tomorrow if he had any say in where this night was going.

    A continuation of the 'all I ask' where they have sex and get back together.

    Summary

    “I can’t promise,” Ghost whispered, holding onto Soap’s face like his life depended on it, “but if we make it out, my retirement is yours.”
    Soap’s smile broadened to wrinkle his eyes and push against Ghost’s palms. “Can you at least promise to try?”
    “Yeah,” Ghost vowed as his fingers mapped out Soap’s eyebrows, nose, lips, unable to stop himself from darting in to kiss him. “Yeah, I can do that. Can you promise to not do anything stupid?”
    “Define stupid,” Soap said with a grin. Ghost simply levelled him with a deadpan stare, which softened the grin instantly. “Alright, yeah, I promise.”

    A mission gone wrong, broken promises, an early retirement, and eight months of tense domesticity.
    After that, Ghost didn't see or talk to Soap in seven months. When he finally caved and tries an app Laswell, Price, and Gaz have been trying to force on him, he matches with someone who breaks down his defences with ease. Ghost refuses to admit to himself that he knows who his match is.

    Summary

    "This is supposed to be easy. Home is supposed to be easy.” Simon pinches the bridge of his nose and shuts his eyes, refusing to even look at him. “With you, it was always easy."

    The smell of the spilt takeout is cloying; it's hot in here, so hot; Johnny can't breathe.

    Seven years of "mine," "yours," and "ours" comes to a head.

    Summary

    After a mission gone wrong leaves Simon “Ghost” Riley deaf in one ear and Johnny “Soap” MacTavish with a permanent leg injury, both men are forced into early retirement. Soap uses his pension to buy a crumbling house on the edge of a quiet town, determined to make something of it, even if the place looks like it should’ve come with a tetanus shot.

    Ghost shows up with a duffel bag and his usual scowl, moving into the guest room to help with renovations. Between faulty wiring, leaking pipes, and a fridge that seems to growl at two a.m., the two of them fall into a new rhythm of grocery runs, hardware store trips, and late-night fixes. The banter is sharp, the silences softer than either expected, and somewhere between the broken walls and peeling paint, they begin to rebuild more than just the house.

    It’s a story about finding purpose when the battlefield is gone, about healing old wounds in the comfort of shared domestic chaos, and about realizing that sometimes “home” isn’t a place, it’s each other.

    Having survived Makarov’s bullet, Soap struggles adjusting to life as ex-service. Feeling alienated and lost, having to deal with a multitude of new challenges that make his daily life that much more difficult, he withdraws more and more, seeing no future for himself.
    That is until months later, someone unexpectedly shows up at his front door.

    In the aftermath of Soap getting shot and his subsequent medical discharge, Ghost finds himself suddenly faced with his long-buried past, leading him to make a drastic decision.
    Spinning loose, he does the only thing that feels right.

    A story about acceptance, opening up, unexpected confidants, and the long road to healing.
