    Summary

    A chance meet-up in London during mandated leave didn't seem possible, but somehow Soap finds himself living with his Lieutenant in his flat. And his Lieutenant, the famous, feared Ghost, turns out to be an extremely well-adjusted civilian with a flat, a cat, and a bunch of old ladies who adopted him on the spot. In contrast, Soap doesn't remember what's it like to know how to act outside of the military.

    Throughout the leave, Soap learns from Ghost - only this time, he's learning how to be a person, outside of being a solider. Through cooking, cleaning, shopping, living, he finds home. And, of course, it was always right there, with Simon

     

    or what if ghost is the well-adjusted, post-therapy one out of them? cue soap learning to live next to ghost's cat, knitted sweaters, sweet elderly neighbours, and a bunch of kids his lieutenant acquired

    Summary

    “Red, you got a kid you never told me about?” He asks Matt, and even when he’s joking his voices scrapes out of his throat like it’s being forced, though he sounds like he’s trying for tender. Peter shuts his jaw once he realises it has fallen open, and Matt laughs.

    “Frank this is Peter; Peter, Frank,” Matt introduces, and Frank looks at Peter properly. Peter watches as Frank gives him a quick once over, clearly amused at Peter’s outfit choice, and Peter suddenly remembers that he isn’t wearing a binder.

    Summary

    The crushing reality of hindsight, really, is that when it hits there’s nothing left but a front row seat to every second of every failure, speckled with the dust of what might have been. It’s painful, it’s meant to be. It’s the consequence of holding something so beautiful and precious, and not caring enough to stop its fall.

    In this moment, sitting alone in his room surrounded by scrap memories drawn out in cheap pencils and charcoal, crooked smiles and warm eyes and the leaden weight of regret in his chest, it feels like an explosion he didn’t move far enough away from. It feels like his own ruin rushing up to meet him, his own hand on the trigger. Everything he could have ever wanted offered up to him on a silver platter and he tipped the whole damn thing into the dirt.

    Summary

    Soap’s heart clenched painfully another time.
    He had hoped that it could become more, just like he had hoped that the 141 could become more, but he was fucking stupid.
    He was a soldier, easily exchangeable for the team, and he was, if anything, a friend with benefits, for Ghost. Easily exchangeable as well.
    “Price’s wounded, Johnny. Gaz’s right, just keep your mouth for one fucking mission.”

     

    A version of the "They tell Soap to shut up and he does at the wrong time"-trope.

    Summary

    There’s a ghost haunting the 141 common room. At least, Soap is about 80% sure there is, which is, in fairness, realistically about as sure as anyone could reasonably be about spooks haunting their workplace. He’s not stupid, he knows no one else is going to believe him if he brings it up. The scorn if he suddenly starts harping on about ghosties and ghoulies.

    None of that negates the fact that there definitely is one though. Probably.
