Summary
“Ye gotta give me something, LT,” Soap joked as he scanned the Shadow’s lifeless form for anything useful, “Is it a unique mark?"
"All marks are unique, Soap,” Ghost’s sigh was crackly in his ear.
“I mean, would ye know if ye met them?” Soap continued, pulling a knife from a holster on the Shadow’s waist.
There was a pause over the comms.
“I’d know. Might take me a few minutes, but I’d know,” Ghost’s voice had dipped to a low rumble and Soap was pretty sure he’d been able to hear his own heart break over the words.

Soap spends his life chasing after death and pining for skeletons.

Summary
Draco can think of only one way to outclass his pleat-front-khaki-wearing politician ex, and that’s by making headlines with an obvious upgrade. And who better to upstage the cheating bastard than the Saviour of the World, Harry Potter himself? Sure, Potter is a little rough around the edges in ripped jeans, a rumpled tartan shirt, and a permanent scowl. Draco reckons a haircut and a shave wouldn’t hurt, either. But Potter is also in need of a Healer willing to keep his secrets, and Draco is just the man for the job. It’s a perfectly reasonable exchange. They need only attend a couple parties arm-in-arm, smile nicely for the paparazzi, and tolerate each other long enough to convince everyone they’re smitten. In return, Draco will keep Potter alive and in one piece.
But it isn’t long before Draco realises he might be in over his head, because Potter is ten tonnes of trouble packed into a leather jacket, and seems keen on hurtling himself towards death on the back of a flying motorbike. And that says nothing of Potter’s penchant for fire-breathing beasts and things that bite.
Ah well, at least they’ll have some fun while it lasts. After all, Draco always did like a bit of danger.

Summary
“You’re fuckin’ graceful,” Soap had said, as Ghost had tightened a stitch. His gloves were off so he could hold the needle better and he hated the way even that small bit of bare skin made him feel vulnerable.
“You’re fucking drunk,” Ghost had told him, finishing off the stitches.
“Simon,” Johnny had said, hand clasped over Ghost’s bare one, Ghost’s palm trapped to Soap’s arm, needle still pinched between two fingers, “I’m not afraid.”

They're both fucked up.
Maybe they can be fucked up together.
