    Summary

    There was something liminal about the night. It was in the silence, he was almost sure— in the thick blanket of the night sky, draped over everything, in the way it remained blissfully unbroken by gunfire, in the mist he could see where his blinds were cracked, softening the horizon, as if the land just fell away into nothing.

    mactavish takes the opportunity of a late night to practise getting some things off his chest <3

    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

    “He promised,” Simon gasps, voice wrecked and half-muffled by the floor. “He promised me, Price. Said he was fine. Said he was—said he was trying.”

    The words run dry again, replaced by a terrible silence—only broken by the uneven pull of Simon’s breath and the low hum of the barracks’ heating unit kicking on.

    Price lowers his head, jaw clenched tight enough to ache.

    “I know,” he says, nearly a whisper. “I know, son.”

    Summary

    "What's going on?"

    They reached one another and he saw the tears at the edge of Price's eyes, the wet streaks on his face. A sickly dread slithered down his throat and coiled around his chest, resting heavily beneath his ribs.

    Summary

    A canon-compliant rework and extension of MW2: Reboot.

    Simon was an unstoppable force, but Fate was an immovable object.

    Stationary.

    When you ignore it, and put up walls to secure yourself, it only delays the inevitable. Unavailing. It doesn’t stop it. Moments in time slowly drill their way through, picking an open scab until it turns to scar tissue. It will break your skin until it drains you. You will deteriorate into ashes, scattered by the wind.

    And if you force yourself against Fate, shielded with a lifetime of trauma that you use to protect yourself– you’re forced to recognize why you put the walls up in the first place. Every moment full of agony, abuse, anguish.

    Your walls will crumble, because Fate never fails.

    And as Fate tore the first wall apart, Simon was pushed.
