    Summary

    Maverick’s about to lose hope of getting any sleep when he hears it: a gentle melody. It’s so quiet that he thinks he’s made it up for a moment, recalled a piano tune from a half-forgotten memory. But no, someone really is downstairs in the break room, playing the keys in the middle of the night.

    *

    Maverick strikes up a tentative connection with a mysterious stranger playing piano in the middle of the night. They write notes but never come face to face – until they do.

    Summary

    Gaz lurched forward, back into the anteroom, and snatched for Price’s vest.  He yanked at the straps, his heart frozen in his chest, and pulled with everything he had.  They went flying back into the room AQ had been in, the mockery of safety it provided.

    Some safety.  Soap’s lifeless eyes bore into him.  They didn’t even seem accusing, they seemed sad.  Lost.
    --
    Post-Chicago nightmares from Gaz. Price is there for him.

    Summary

    “Ghost was wearing his balaclava, but he could feel his true mask slipping. He was becoming more Simon with every day Soap was around, and that knowledge terrified him. He hadn’t seen Simon Riley in the mirror in over a decade; he didn’t even know if he’d recognize himself anymore.

    The sharp pain in his chest was back, but he knew it wasn’t from the mission. He knew it was Riley clawing back to the surface, gasping for air underneath the mask, struggling to escape the iron bars Ghost kept him behind. The twinge was caused by his sergeant and his kindness, a kindness Ghost hadn’t earned, could never deserve, but didn’t want to let go. He was well and truly fucked“
