    Summary

    Lieutenant Simon Riley is transferred to the xenobotanical research facility that is pioneering a new form of stripping the mineral used for star travel from the ore its contained in, through the use of plant enzymes. His job is to make sure that protocols are in place for safety and that the focus remains on this research. A facility full of botanists with their wildest wet fantasy, a massive alien plant, has the tendency to get off course. Then he meets the Deputy Director of the facility and Head Xenobotanist, Dr. John MacTavish. Suddenly, his thoughts are no longer contained to his assignment.

    After an unfortunate "accident" regarding Medusa's enzyme production, Simon Riley and Marshall Peterson are exposed to a dangerous level of the plants reproductive spores. It's up to the facilities team and Dr. MacTavish to get him through this unexpected and unnecessary accident.

    Or

    The new security guy is hot and right after Soap falls for him, he's exposed to dangerous plant enzymes. The more plant that the subjects become, the hotter Soap thinks Ghost is.

    Summary

    With the flu finally out of the way, Ghost and Soap could finally travel to Glasgow for their shared leave. Only, it's not that easy, as everything goes upside down before they have even managed to leave the base. They end up leaving, but to different directions; one packed for a mission and one packed for a leave.

    One day, sooner or later, Ghost will finally accept that he's just a dog of the military and nothing else. He'll never be anything else.

    And Soap will learn that too.

    Summary

    When Simon Riley dug his way out of the grave Roba buried him in the man was still there waiting for him. Two months later Simon Riley was dead and Ghost was all that remained. Roba's attack dog, highly skilled, and damn near perfectly trained too. NEAR, perfectly trained.
    When Ghost decides to disobey an order to take out a soldier for reasons he can't explain he expects Roba's retribution. He doesn't expect the rescue that follows though. Nor does he expect that rescue to actually be a rescue rather than a weapons acquisition.
    Slowly Ghost begins to find a place in the 141. And he finds that Simon Riley might not be as dead as he thought.

    Summary

    This is the part he likes best: when the mission is complete but they’re still riding the high, hearts pumping from the exertion of keeping themselves alive. This is when Ghost is at his most unreserved, when he seems the most unlike The Ghost. It’s as if a good op helps him remember what it feels like to be human. And it’s in these moments, when he’s almost effusive, casual about a pat on the shoulder or a hand at the back of the neck—when he seems to need the physical reassurance that they made it out in one piece—that Soap thinks the mask looks the most like the prop it is. It doesn’t scare him; it only makes him sad.

    Things go wrong on a routine op. The fallout takes a long time to settle, and when it does, everything is different.

    NOTE: still on hiatus! not abandoned!!
