Summary
An alternate first meeting, where Ghost and Soap meet each other in the field under infinitely worse circumstances than either of them would have liked:
Ghost wakes up in a pit under a building with a bomb attached to him, certain he's going to die. Soap, an EOD tech amongst his other specialties, is the only person available to at least try to save him. It should be fraught, and tense, and miserable all around, and it is; a whole lot of Ghost slowly losing his mind while Soap does everything he can to save his life. But it would probably be easier if Ghost wasn't a stress-flirter, and if Soap wasn't the kind of endlessly competent that he loved, and if, by virtue of their situation, they didn't keep ripping open each other's wounds and then patching each other back up again after.

Summary
It was one thing to know monsters existed. It was another thing entirely to grow up as part of the MacTavish clan, one of the oldest werewolf clans that existed. Being a MacTavish came with ‘capital E’ Expectations. They saw it as their duty to protect humanity from the things it couldn’t protect itself from. Things like vampires.
There was only one future for all MacTavish children - to be turned on their seventeenth birthday and join the clan in full, as werewolves themselves, to carry on that duty.
Or, there was supposed to be only one future for them. John had never been all that good at following rules, though. And while he wanted, desperately, to help people, he wanted to do it under his own power. To earn it, through more than just the happenstance of being born to a family of more-than-human creatures. So he did the only thing he could think to do.
He ran away.

Soap achieves the unthinkable - he gets recruited into the elite Task Force 141: a squad that had, until now, been composed of monsters only. Fate and destiny won't let go of him that easily, though. When a mission goes bad, he has to contend with everything he ran away from to protect his team.- Language:

Summary
Often was Soap told, “stop trying to be the hero, MacTavish.” He was told that on the day he was dishonorably discharged for disobeying direct orders.
John likes to pretend life afterwards was peaceful. That he is happy. Content.Right now, drenched in rainwater and mud, acting amounts to fuck all.
------
John MacTavish has been dishonorably discharged from the military. In his civilian life, he was lost. Eventually, he reached a breaking point and runs away, travelling as far as his money allows him.
In a city in the middle of nowhere, John gets caught in a massacre, and has to decide whether he truly wishes to leave his military past behind.
And between murderous soldiers, and a rogue SAS operator named "Ghost", can he actually be a hero?Bookmarked by comeforthemango

Summary
“No.”
“I wasn’t asking, Ghost.”
He shifted in his place. Can never get used to Price’s voice in his head.
“You know I work best alone. All he’s gonna do is get in the way.”
Price’s mustache twitched, as if he’s fighting a smile. Bastard is about to drop something to win the entire argument, Ghost already knows.
“He’s a revenant. Strong one too.”
Fucking figures. Still, he could argue he doesn’t need any support-
“Intel is rigged with explosives. And the Sergeant just so happens to be explosion-proof.”
… Fuck.
------
Taskforce 141 is the only squad composed of exclusively revenants, individuals who gain powers after dying once. Ghost is the revered revenant Lieutenant, who's powers are unknown to most and are only referred to as "Limbo".
Ghost works alone. Until a certain Scot shows up.

Summary
“Like an Open Book”, a Public Library AU
Soap (Johnny) is a volunteer at the local public library, where he meets a mysterious (and not very friendly) guy who goes by the name of 'Ghost': Johnny is a boy of welcoming and gentle nature, although he's a bit clueless sometimes, and does not desist when faced with Ghost's hostility and harshness towards him.
Without neither of them noticing, Soap's cheerful ways will breach the walls Ghost has built around himself during all his life, daring him to face his utmost fears for the sake of his newfound precious friend.Bookmarked by comeforthemango
