    Summary

    Ghost knows he's destined to spend the rest of his life going through the motions of being the sharp, shadowy knife those in power use to backstab one another. He's made peace with it. He's a professional. His newest contract, at least, seems promising. Taking down the head of the Royal Guard? A welcome challenge.

    Sir John "Soap" MacTavish is far too busy to be fucking around in the frozen arse-end of Anfēowern. He's got an entire team of knights to direct, a king and a prince who are hell bent on making his life as difficult as possible, and an incoming visit from the king of a neighbouring country that will surely plunge his next few months into complete chaos. He’d love a day off. Fuck, he’d love five minutes off.

    Fate must have a dark sense of humour, because Ghost and Soap are about to collide.

    Summary

    Only when Ghost was blessedly shielded by shadows did he dare turn around, knife in hand, to greet the beast.

    His breath caught unwillingly in his throat.

    Large.

    Ghost had always known that the Na’vi were big. It was perhaps the greatest point of intrigue for their species to those who knew little more than side-by-side comparisons. The Na’vi were massive in theory…but it was an entirely different topic to tackle when one was staring directly at where Ghost lay in hiding.

    . . .

    Ghost came to Pandora to die amongst unseen stars. He didn't care for his Avatar body - the body Tommy was meant to pilot before he died - he just wanted rest.
    Unfortunately, after his transport crashes on the surface of Pandora leaving him stranded, he's forced into wars he swore off when he left active combat. The Na'vi are brutal, but they are not unkind as they pick up the broken pieces of him and remind Ghost...

    His heart is warm so long as it is beating.

    Summary

    Basil Whitmore speaks through flowers, crafting bouquets that express emotions words cannot. When Sans and Papyrus walk into his shop, Basil finds himself drawn to the quiet skeleton with tired eyes and an unreadable smile.

    Basil knows the language of flowers, an important language to him.

    Now, it’s up to Sans to decide what to do with the words hidden in petals.

    Summary

    Ghost reluctantly agrees to join Soap in Glasgow for the holidays. Haunted by his past, he tries to remember how to act like a human being again.
    He's a better weapon than he is a person; but for some mind-boggling reason, Soap doesn't seem to mind.

    Summary

    “That in there, Sergeant, is the original Death. Shepherd is nothing more than an impostor.”
    The words fall heavy on Soap’s shoulders, as if they weigh more than they should and his breath catches in his throat.
    “That’s not true,” Soap says, his hand going to his neck, searching for the pendant of the Shepherd which he had torn off his neck months ago and thrown across the room. “Shepherd and his Beast are those who take us to the next world. Their Reapers help them,” he says, almost reciting, as his eyes go over to the two Reapers in the room. They’re not really moving, neither seemingly willing to break the spell.

    or

    that Ghost is the Fallen God of Death story.
