Summary
Henry returns to Rattay after many months away, and Heinrich sees the side of his father that loves.
“Henry!”
Three heads rise to the balcony, where Heinrich’s father is leaning over the balusters looking down. The chill wind pulls at the loose ends of his hair and the gaping collar of his tunic, though he shows no reaction to the cold. He’s almost never up this early — grousing if he’s woken before noon — but his eyes are wide awake now, fixed on Henry alone.
Heinrich senses himself shrinking back into the shape of a child, small and wet and instantly forgotten. He bristles with disappointment. Henry is beyond him now. And the courtyard, the village, the knights, the rain, his mother. All are secondary to Lord Hans Capon, who only has to call his name.

Summary
His last mistake — the one that really does it — is Soap. Which is a fucking laugh, really, because Soap is the mistake he never makes. Never even lets his thoughts stray too close to the idea — one hint and his insides turn white hot in warning. Because he knows better. He’s been trained, very specifically, to recognize things that will kill him.
Inception AU: Ghost gets trapped in a dream with Soap for 12 years. They build a whole life together. A perfect life. Then he wakes up alone.

Summary
The gang is confined to the Wincelcumb abbey for several days, and Finan's patience wears to the bone.
Skade leans over Sihtric’s lap and whispers, loud enough for all the nuns and drunken guards in the hall to hear, “That’s an odd bruise on your neck, Irishman.”

Summary
Finan is bored and restless after weeks of caring for the children at the Saltwic estate, and Osferth helps him find things to do.
Osferth used to be something that sounded a lot like brother until about a year ago, when Finan started calling him chroí instead. Always on the tail end of a small, private smile. Osferth didn't know how to ask him what it meant.

Summary
Finan and Osferth get caught in a blizzard while out on a mission, and they're running out of ways to keep warm.
Finan falls down beside him, dragging the tattered furs over both of their shoulders. “You won’t cook a flea with that,” he grumbles, poking at a smouldering log with the tip of his boot.

Summary
There’s a teddy in Soap’s bed; a beaten-up, old brown bear. Well-loved, if the state of the fur is any indication. Ghost lets out a choked laugh, mostly at his own expense. He wishes he was there, suddenly, wishes he was by Johnny’s side as he walked through the doorway and realised that his childhood room was waiting for him like a time capsule. Wishes he got to see the embarrassed scrunch of his face, the way the tips of his ears would flush red.
Soap has a whole second life, outside of the SAS. He’s got a mother, and a poorly-decorated bedroom, and a bear. All Ghost has is a flat that will be the same it is today as it will be the day he dies, like he was never even here at all.

Summary
“Simon?”
Simon slides a book into place before turning around. The man in front of him is lean, worn thin, with bags like dusky thumbprints beneath his eyes. He’s swallowed by the massive black hoodie he’s wearing, his hands wedged deep into his pockets and his shoulders hunched.
For reasons he cannot begin to understand, Simon wants to crush this man into a tiny ball and then shove him into the mouth that gapes, screaming, around his own starved heart.
He doesn’t do that, obviously. He’s on the clock.
Or: Ghost loses his memories and falls in love with his husband, again.

Summary
Somehow, between finding a terrorist and a cartel boss and a few stolen missiles, Ghost and Soap manage to find each other, too.

or, a one-night-stand-to-lovers story hidden in the crevices of the canon.

Summary
The more he looks, the more he finds. Severed file pathways, corrupted syntax, improperly shelved archives. Needles in a haystack, with the amount of data a mech like Ghost carries around. He should delete the films he’s found and leave the rest to gather dust, stop rifling through his caches and spare his hardware the processing strain.
He doesn’t. He saves the scraps he finds in a private, local directory, and he watches them while he charges, or during transit, or low-power stasis. Starts to feel a bit shameful about the whole thing, as if they’re not his to watch. As if he hasn’t got the clearance to remember his own life.

Summary
Life in the Belt is easy, that way. You work, you eat, maybe you fuck or fight, and nobody expects you to give a fuck about anything, about anyone. It's easy, for someone like Amos.
