Summary
The barracks hallway feels too long, every step echoing. He stops outside the familiar door, knuckles hovering. Hinging, yet again, because as much as things have changed between him and Ghost, there are still barriers up. For a second, he almost walks away.
Then he knocks. Once. Twice.
Silence.
He leans in, breath tight. Then the voice comes, low and muffled through wood.
“Not now, Soap.”
Soap blinks. Frowns. “Are ye alright, Ghost?”
“Solid.”
“Then why won’t ye come to the door?”
Silence, long and damning.-or- Ghost hides an injury to avoid medical, but Soap won't let him hide from him.

Summary
Price spreads his hands on the table and looks levelly up at Ghost. “Keep an eye on MacTavish. He’s been getting a bit over-enthusiastic with the demolition charges lately.”
“The last thing we want is to set off an international incident,” Laswell shakes her head.
“Roger that, Cap’n. I’ll reign ‘im in.
-or-Ghost gives an order, and Soap gets hurt

Putting My Trust in Half-Empty Glasses by Sociablepossum

Summary
Johnny’s gotten too close.
Closer than anyone has in years. Closer than anyone should.
Ghost feels him all the time now. The weight of him curled into his side when they sleep, not every night but enough to matter, the rasp of his breathing steady against his chest. His warmth, his heartbeat, alive and real. It started out as a comfort, a silly indulgence, really, but lately, it’s become a noose around his neck.-or-Ghost gets scared and pushes Soap away.

Summary
He stays to keep watch. That’s what he tells himself, anyway. That it’s just duty. It makes sense after what happened. Someone’s got to make sure the nurses don’t miss a change in the monitors, that the IV doesn’t kink, that Soap doesn’t take a sudden turn for the worse. He tells himself it’s tactical, not personal. But he hasn’t believed that lie in days.
The truth is, watching Soap flatline on that table was a watershed moment for Ghost. Same as Mexico—one man went in the grave, another came out. He’d thought he buried Simon Riley in Mexico. But when Soap’s heart stopped, Ghost realized the grave hadn’t held. It split open again, dragged him right back under. This is the same. One man stepped into that trauma room…
…Ghost isn’t sure who came out.
-or- Ghost tries to pick up the pieces after Soap gets shot.

All These Hollowed Out Spaces Left Behind by Sociablepossum

Summary
Gaz wraps his hands around a cup of coffee gone cold twenty minutes ago. It tastes like burnt battery acid when he takes a sip, but he drinks it anyway. Anything to have something to do with his hands. It’s not the silence that’s getting to him, it’s the reason for it.
Soap isn’t here, and the silence left in his absence rings louder than anything in the room.
It’s mad, how much space one man can fill just by being alive.
-or- Soap's absense has left a hole in the 141, and Gaz is going to do something about it.
