Summary
“Simon?”
Simon slides a book into place before turning around. The man in front of him is lean, worn thin, with bags like dusky thumbprints beneath his eyes. He’s swallowed by the massive black hoodie he’s wearing, his hands wedged deep into his pockets and his shoulders hunched.
For reasons he cannot begin to understand, Simon wants to crush this man into a tiny ball and then shove him into the mouth that gapes, screaming, around his own starved heart.
He doesn’t do that, obviously. He’s on the clock.
Or: Ghost loses his memories and falls in love with his husband, again.

Summary
Ghost had been sure, many times in his life, that he had the worst luck in the world. Now, he could make that the worst luck in the fucking universe. Getting captured by aliens wasn't his idea of a nice Sunday, yet here he was.
The 141 knows very little about humans. They're fearsome, dangerous creatures from an even worse planet. The few expeditions foolish enough to get close disappeared entirely. The one report salvaged from a lucky ship, a long time ago, isn't really helping.
They have to figure out what to do with the one in front of them.Or, humans are space orcs but make it COD.

Summary
Soap’s been running his ranch on his own just fine up until now. Uses the occasional ranch hand when needs must but mostly just puts in the work so he doesn’t have to bother with them. Except now the most beautiful beta he’s ever seen has waltzed into his life and asked for a job, and God help him Soap’s given him one.
Ghost needs somewhere to lie low for a while, somewhere out of town where it’s unlikely anyone will recognise him from the wanted posters springing up all over town. Just his luck that the ranch owner is the kind of alpha dreams are made of, especially when he really can’t afford to be getting tangled up with anyone.

Summary
On the 21st November 2023, Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish was killed in action in the Eurotunnel, 7km off the coast of Folkestone.
Except the heavily redacted report is all a lie and the emotional scattering of his ashes is all an act.
This is the story of how he survives, how the 141 fake his death, and how he recovers - with Ghost right by his side.
A realistic fic about Soap recovering from a traumatic brain injury and discovering which parts of himself are left, and which parts Makarov stole from him. Full of hurt and comfort, angst and humour, this is a slow burn Ghost/Soap getting together fic with a happy ending.

Summary
"'Bout time we got another reptile in here," Gaz says brightly. "Maybe now Cap'll finally invest in some proper heaters."
Soap chuckles, smoke leaking from his nostrils when he grins. "Ah'm plenty warm," he teases, drawing Gaz under his wing, the snake wriggling happily, his round pupils shining as his cheeks flush pink. He rests his chin on Soap's shoulder with a tiny hiss, content to curl around him and soak up the heat of Soap's fire.
"Ghost is out on a mission," Price tells him. "You'll only get to meet him when it's basically wheels-up, unfortunately. He's, ah, a bit of a prickly sort, but impress him and you won't have any problems."

Summary
Five years after the world was ravaged by a zombie outbreak, what remains of humanity has learned how to survive in their new apocalypse. In their new normal, the dead wander the earth with insatiable appetites, families have been ripped apart, citizens have been abandoned, and the Reds thrive amongst the chaos.
When an unfortunate run-in with some Reds and an inconveniently-timed thunderstorm forces Soap to separate from Price and Gaz during their hunting session, he finds himself washed up on the doorstep of a wooden cabin. Only he's not alone.
Soap should probably be more worried about the masked stranger with a furrowed brow pointing an arrow at his chest, but there's something intriguing about him, secrets hidden deep within his heart and walls impenetrably built up. And even more shocking is the fact that the stranger allows him inside to take refuge.
What starts at that moment which neither realize is the beautiful unfolding of a love story between two people who were meant to find each other. It's about learning to trust again, the power of forgiveness, finding hope in the world that has ripped everything from you already, and falling into the arms of someone who will love you unconditionally.

Summary
Soap doesn’t even like reading.
But apparently he does like emotionally tortured war poetry disguised as fanfiction that accidentally reveals his deepest fears and unspoken desires...
So that’s new.

Summary
His rabbit is close, so close, Ghost can hear his fast little heartbeat. Feel the air as it moves around him, soft and sweet as a caress. His rabbit is leading him on a fine chase, darting through hallways and rooms like it’s a dance, like an obstacle course of his own design.
Ghost soaks himself in it. In the pound of his heart and the ache in his chest, the thrum of blood in his veins and coating his teeth, his knife, his hands. He closes his eyes for beats at a time, savoring the heady rush of anticipation, soaking his tongue in saliva, every muscle in him primed for the inevitable lunge.
It happens, as so many miracles do, by happenstance. Ghost sees him, his rabbit, sweating and scared and ready, and the thing inside of Ghost that has made itself so at home howls in recognition.
The wolf has found its prey, and it’s time to hunt.

Summary
As he had entered the empty construction site, he had tripped over debris from the previous tenants. They hadn’t had enough time to properly move out, so there were scattered remains of lives in the empty apartments. When he saw a communal children’s play space he stood frozen for a few seconds before sinking to his knees and screaming. Fire had burst from his veins and snaked along hallways, bursting pipes and catching on old electrical wiring while Johnny sat encased in a ball of flaming rage. His tears felt like lava and his hands melted the floor beneath him but he screamed until he couldn’t anymore and then laughed until the floors above him started collapsing around him. He hadn’t controlled the fire at all which resulted in several close calls to his safety before he was able to get out of the building as it started folding in on itself. When it was done and he was home again, he had finally found a purpose to what he had previously considered a cursed existence: burn them all to ash.

Summary
“Let’s call him Soap,” suggested one voice from the back of the group. I met eyes with him. A sharp icy stare armed his deep gaze, hidden behind a mask made of bones. Human bones? Or did he wear his skeleton on the outside? “Look at him. He’s clean. Young. No scars. Like he’s not seen a day of war—lucky kid, still got all his limbs attached, even. You better buckle up, fresh meat, because it’s going to be nothing but fighting from here on out.”

Summary
Soap wants, more than anything, down deep where secrets have claw marks in them from how tightly they're held, to be seen. An artist and Submissive, he sees the world as few others do; a hidden Truculent, he sees others as few others do.
He sees, but he isn't seen.
Ghost wants, more than anything, to know what he wants. He oscillates between digging his teeth into the idea of Johnny and wanting to rend flesh from bone at the long-dead urges Johnny awakens within him.
He wants, but he doesn't know what.
Or: Sub for Sub Ghoap with a hefty side of hurt/comfort.

Summary
“Eager thing, aren't you?”
Soap beams up at him. Looks downright feral with the blood dripping down his chin and over his fangs as he soaks up the omega's appraising once over.
Normally, Simon wouldn't give such a vagrant display of alpha peacocking the time of day.
But when his new neighbor– a rich, young pup from an old blood pedigree across the pond in Scotland– does it, he finds himself suddenly quite interested in just how far one John “Soap” MacTavish will go to get his attention.
And what he'll do to keep it.
____
Or the fic where older, silver-fox omega Ghost is being courted by younger, rich alpha playboy Johnny who is determined to elevate his comfortably middle-class DILF neighbor into the upper echelons of society.
