Summary
It’s strange. In the moment, he hadn’t felt it yet— that all-encompassing despondency that sits comfortably now in the pit of his chest— just a buzzing numbness as he watched Simon’s body slam back through the door with a strength it shouldn’t possess. He’d watched the deep, warm brown eyes he whispered quiet promises to glaze over into vacant, milky white in less time than it took for him to take a breath in.
Now he watches as the third head of the man he loves coughs up something too green to be blood but too brown to be mucus, and the smell of it hits him before he can do so much as comfort the groans emanating from two of Simon’s three mouths.
Two and a half months ago, Ghost was infected. Soap hasn't left his side.

Summary
It’s only now that Soap realizes the skull isn’t that– a skull. It’s a mask. There’s skin around the eyes, stained black with grease paint. There are flashes of pale pink as the gloves tear at the black fabric underneath the hard-plated skull, the same tone as the exposed forearm.
It’s not even a skeleton. It’s a man. A dead man.
-
Soap is haunted. A strange, horrified figure of a dead man won't leave his periphery-- and it seems to want something. If he wants to fall back into any semblance of normalcy, he'll have to deal with this specter hands on.
As things turn out, aiding the dead may be more complicated than he'd thought. -

Summary
Ghost huffs a breath. “Tell me what I fuckin’ owe you.”
“Oh, you know.” The devil lets out a long, drawn out sigh, wrinkling his nose. “Just your soul. For good this time, no take-backs, yeah? And none of the warlock eldritch-blast nonsense that came with it when we did this before. No contracts, no hunting— and no returns, hear? Just a one-time fee.”
“Deal,” he breathes without so much as a thought, sparing half a second to blink over the slack face underneath him before extending a hand out towards the throne. “Do it. Please.”

Summary
How do you tell a dog from an SAS sergeant?
Soap's been trying to think of a punchline, but so far, all he's got is a dog’s gotta shit in the woods and bury it slightly more often than an SAS Sergeant.

Summary
In theory, it’s an easy plan of action: Soap heals with Ghost by his side and life goes back to the way it was before. Effortless and efficient, just like how they’ve always handled tough missions.
But with a newly broken brain, pent-up feelings, and a possible medical discharge looming on the horizon, everything is often easier said than done.

Summary
Simon.
His memories of Simon remained as frustrating as his trek and as dim as the light guiding him, but he could feel the man in his mind’s eye. Pieces of a man he could not picture in his head but could build up through bits and pieces: a strong clap on his shoulder; the faint smell of expensive cologne and something faintly dangerous and metallic, deep brown eyes on him from across the room… John had loved him, he thinks to himself, and it was the thought that this man might be on the other end of this trek that kept him walking despite his fatigue.
Suddenly, the figure paused. In the darkness, John could only see an even darker shadow colliding with the light that the figure had been carrying.
“Come back to me.” John heard, before everything faded into a deep black.
