    Summary

    “Floremesis,” the apothecary eventually muttered. He looked up, his expression pitying. “Flower petals; you’d best see a priest, lad. Nobody but God can help you.”

    A shock ran through Henry like a cold wind, drawing his attention with a snap of focus. “Flower petals?” he repeated incredulously, his throat suddenly dry. “What, like Mary Magdalene?”

    He’d never really believed the stories of saints and martyrs coughing up flowers. That was something that happened a thousand years ago, the words inked in Latin scripture on illuminated pages, not to now, not to him.

    Summary

    *New Chapter!*

    Heading to the front office he’s really starting to feel the loss of his morning coffee. He’s so tired he almost misses the clumps of mud and dirt that are starting to cover the pathway. But there’s no way he could miss a whole plot dug up. Right next to the brand new bulbs he planted yesterday a whole plot is disturbed, grass, topsoil, down to the rocky soil that lies deep under.

    “I swear to Christ if those boys dug up the wrong plot-” he starts, but it dies in his chest. The actual plot isn’t very far from where he stands. He can see it from there, and he can see it neatly refilled with the green tarp covering it, waiting to be reseeded with grass. That cold discomfort sets into his stomach again, and all his reassurances melt away. Something else dug this plot up.

    The headstone is old, unreadable and crooked as it sits at the maw of the hole. It’s dug sloppy and uneven, like it wasn’t even done with a tool. Like it was done with nothing more than bare hands.

     

    John is a humble graveyard keeper. Happy, if not a bit bored. Then a grave is disturbed, a stranger appears at his house, and everything changes.

    Summary

    Soap could think of a thousand different ways he'd rather be spending the Christmas season—hunting down Makarov being at the top of that list. Somehow Ghost makes it all a bit (a lot) more bearable.

    Summary

    “We can’t, sir.” Soap cut him off. “You know the rules, it leads to an imbalance of power. I’d be pressured, with my career in your hands and all that…“ The words almost sound methodical, like he was citing them by memory.

    Ghost stood frozen as he listened. He had prepared himself for rejection, figuring that regardless of the outcome, he could at least get it off his chest.

    But this? Soap was saying that he didn’t feel comfortable around him. That he thought Ghost would take advantage of him.

    or

    When Ghost confessed his love towards Soap, the last thing he had expected was to be rejected. Suddenly terrified that he coerced Soap into interacting with him because of his higher rank.

    So he requests a temporary transfer. Leaving Soap to come to terms with his budding feelings for the man, alone.

    Can Soap make things right? Or did he end their relationship before it even began?

    Just one bite; to taste, and let go.

    Or, the on-field flirting is getting a little ridiculous.
