Summary
There was only so much you could do to a dead man, you see, before he became more of a liability than an advantage. In theory, the idea of not killing Ghost— of keeping him alive, taking him back to the base and torturing all the information they could get out of him was a good one. However, in practice, the issue became more complicated.
Or— Ghost is sent home to recover after being victim to cartel torture, and then Soap shows up.

Summary
There was once a mother with gentle hands, when he was small enough to still be loved softly, Tommy was still alive beside him and a piano that only spoke when the house was safe.
Now there is only Ghost, an old song, and Soap standing silent in the doorway while memory sharpens its teeth.

Summary
So it’s not Soap’s fault, is the thing.
He assesses the situation, evaluates the terrain, makes a totally reasonable conclusion. Soldiers die, it happens. Their companions lose the connection, become indistinguishable from any regular animal. But it’s not like they just up and puff into smoke. It usually becomes next of kin’s responsibility, just like anywhere else - the more typical animals get taken to shelters or adopted by the deceased’s family. If your lucky stiff had some rare Left-Spotted Lesser Transylvanian Weasel or something then a conservation org or zoo might happily take it off your hands.
But just as often companions just scarper. Birds fly away, dogs jump a fence, cats skitter off and join the feral colonies hanging around the nearest underpass - but this fucking thing Soap’s nearly stepped in ain’t even making it down the stairs.
So Soap, Christlike in nature as he is, decides to do a good deed this fine evening.

Summary
When Soap keeps coming back from leave covered in bruises, it's clear there's something wrong. It's down to Ghost to figure out what's going on - and how to help Soap. He's out of his depth but it becomes clear that he's Soap's only hope. Can he help him, and can Soap heal from what's been done to him?
(Spoiler alert - the answer is yes. We're all about the happy endings here, folks!)
Picks up just after the events in Verdansk, 2019, weaves through canon and ultimately serves as a fix it for the canon ending of MWIII.
