    Summary

    Soap’s faith says it’s wrong. His heart says it’s Ghost. Caught between belief and longing, he tries to bury the truth under missions and prayers. But the man behind the mask has his own demons, and loving him might be the only salvation left for them both.

    Summary

    “You know why," Ghost said quietly.

    And Soap did. Had known since that first morning on the trails. Had felt it building between them for months—this dark pull, this inevitability.

    When Ghost gives him coordinates to meet alone in the woods on Halloween night, Soap has one choice to make: walk away from whatever this is, or run headfirst into the darkness and see what's waiting for him there.

    He chooses to run.

    Summary

    The first one to spot the toy is Price. The first one to use it is Gaz.

    It goes like this: the 141’s been officially moved into a unit barracks together, individual bedrooms circling a commons with a reasonably-sized bathroom and what could charitably be called a kitchen if you were looking at it sideways. Separate enough from the main barracks and officer’s quarters to be technically private, but definitely more aiming to separate them just that bit more from the usual riff-raff, give them that extra edge of deniability. Not that they mind, those of them that socialize manage to do it plenty besides, and the ones of them that don’t appreciate having a place to sit quietly without interruption.

    So when Price first sees the thick tube sitting on the coffee table as he preps for the morning, plastic and shiny and with a little clear strip down the side to see the soft pink insides, he assumes one of his Sergeants was having a little fun the night previous and forgot to clean up after. It’s a pleasant thought to be sure, one he’ll consider for the rest of the day, so he leaves it be.

    Summary

    "Close now. Remember the rules?" Ghost talks loud to be heard, but his voice rumbles low and deeper through him than the engines and their repetitive noise, an edge there that Soap can’t put his finger on, reminiscent of how he sounds when Price tightens their leash.

    "There are no rules," he echoes their earlier conversation, but relents as Ghost narrows his eyes. "Forty-eight hours. I'm late, I fail. I'm caught, I fail. I die to some random animal attack or 'cause I break my ankle, I fail and ye won't come find me. That about it?"

    Soap has some things to work out. Ghost is happy to help.
    Neither is prepared for just how far they'll go.

    (Male reader)
    -------
    What a time to be alive.

    Thrown headfirst into a taskforce, you were expected to keep up with the chaos, patch wounds, navigate missions and maybe more, all while old friends of the 141 and a vast militia network waited beneath the soil of Katsovia.

    You quickly discovered the 141 as a volatile ecosystem of terminal loyalty and emotional dependency. Captain Price’s attachment to Gaz was a recognized liability. Lieutenant Ghost and Sergeant Soap eventually navigated their own precarious intimacy, with the promise of more to come between them all.

    But that was fine, right? Laswell had never said it'd be an easy mission. Just keep your head out of the water.

    What's the worst that could happen? That you become the next weak link in the chain?

    Pffft.  Impossible.
