Summary
Ghost didn't trust Soap, couldn't know for certain what a year and a half of forced fighting in the pits did to something as volatile as a Wolf. But Price insisted that the man may have valuable intel, might be enough to finally bring down the Fighting Ring where they'd found him.
So Ghost watched and waited as the others let themselves be fooled by the charming stranger.
Ghost wouldn't be so easily swayed.

Summary
“Johnny, fuckin’ hell.” Skull-framed eyes widened. A hand shot out to grab Soap’s shoulder, turning him to get a better look at whatever had caught Ghost's attention. “Why didn’t you say anything?”
Soap looked down at himself to get an idea what the lieutenant was freaking out about.
Ah. Blood. Quite an impressive amount, actually.
Soap gets a little bit shot. It's fine, but the shock rattles their small group, making them even closer than before. Also, there's a game of Cluedo, for some reason.

Summary
When a flirtatious subordinate won’t take a hint, Lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Riley blurts out that he has a boyfriend. It’s a lie meant to shut things down – until the story spreads across base and command expects his mystery partner to show up at an upcoming formal event.
Meanwhile, John “Soap” MacTavish, ex-military and now civilian, tells his family the same lie to avoid another disastrous matchmaking attempt. Their mutual friend Kyle "Gaz" Garrik – utterly delighted – connects the dots and makes the fake relationship official.
But one event turns into two. Then into family weekends, texts at midnight, comfort cups of tea, and quiet moments that start to feel dangerously real. What began as a tactical cover story is suddenly the most stable thing in either of their lives.
They said it was temporary.
They didn't expect to want more.Bookmarked by Trafuffles

Summary
When Simon “Ghost” Riley left the military after years of service, he never expected civilian life would include so much socialising, especially with coworkers. He manages to avoid it all by telling a small lie: he has a boyfriend. A perfect, convenient, totally-not-real boyfriend who keeps him “busy” on evenings and weekends.
Problem solved, one would think. Until the mandatory company Christmas gala demands attendance of said boyfriend.
Ghost is reluctantly introduced to one John “Soap” MacTavish, a charming mechanic who is willing to help out. It should’ve been simple: pretend to be in a relationship, fake a few smiles, have a few drinks, and done.
Except one night of pretending to be a couple turns into texts, favours, and a growing friendship neither of them expected. Now, Ghost finds himself tangled in something dangerously close to happiness and has to face the truth: his fake boyfriend might just be the most real thing he’s ever had.

Summary
Ghost doesn't know anything about werewolves, so understandably he is not overly excited about getting one in their unit especially if said werewolf is supposed to be his sergeant. Over time the skilled and competent Scot slowly changes Ghost's mind.
One day Ghost gets injured and Price sends him to heal at home. The problem is that Ghost treats his apartment as a safehouse - a place to survive, but not to live. Soap notices how Ghost suffers in silence and drags him to his home to take care of him.

Summary
"All stories come from some'ere. They hold a fraction o' truth. The Ghost may no' be real. But after hearing all the stories, be'er t' air on the side o' caution, aye? So as no' t' get caught unawares by a giant monster in the middle o' the moor."
That made sense. The stories of monsters in the woods, over the moors, or in the lochs may be just to scare children and give the adults something to pass the time. But his father was right, better to assume it is real, and be respectful of it. After all, if there was such a thing as a giant beast covered in fur, that howls in the night and hunts over the land, capable of tearing animals to pieces and leave gouges in hard wood, John imagined it wouldn't appreciate being told it's just a folktale.

Summary
Nana MacTavish raised all her grandchildren on folktales, regaling John and his sisters with stories of kelpies, wulvers, the bean nighe, and Nessie herself. But John's favorites were about selkies. He's so enamored with the tales that he sees proof of them everywhere. Like the way Ghost is always more at ease near the sea, or how he has a fur coat he keeps in a locked chest. Of course, John knows it's all in his imagination- or is it?

Summary
Soap makes a choked off noise of pure, unadulterated panic, and then he’s floating, drifting far away as his ears ring from the sound of multiple bombs going off.
When he comes to, he only gets to be happy that he’s somehow still alive for a moment, because everything hits him all at once. Pain explodes from every single part of him he can feel, and he wants to scream. He doesn’t, instead trying to take a deep breath to ground himself, but there’s rubble on top of him that’s unyielding, restricting his every breath.
His breath catches in his throat; focus, MacTavish. Assess your situation before you start panicking.
or, Soap gets trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building, and makes the (stupid) executive decision to omit that piece of information to the rest of 141. No one is happy about this when they find out.

Summary
Following a row of circumstances that might or might not be Soaps own fault (they totally are), his family now thinks him and Ghost are dating and expect him to bring this boyfriend of his along to his cousins wedding.
So really what other option is there than to bother Ghost into coming along to Scotland with him and pretend to be his boyfriend? Not like his crush could get any worse, right? (wrong)**
Soap opened his mouth again and rushed it all out in one single breath. “Ineedyetobemyfakeboyfriendforthenextfewdays.”
Ghost blinked at him slowly. “The fuck you just said?"- Language:

Summary
Soap huffs, wiping the dried blood from his ear. He stares at his fingers for a long moment, then leans his head against the wall, staring out into the moonlight. “What if it didn’t have to be a mistake, huh? You and me. What if you could be happy?”
“I think that’s what I’m most afraid of.”
Or
When Ghost realised he was in love with Soap MacTavish, that realisation scared him beyond belief, and he cut himself off in response.
And he'd do anything to undo that mistake.

Summary
John “Soap” MacTavish never meant to come out as bisexual on national television – it just slipped out during a post-match interview. Overnight, his rugby stats take a backseat to accusations of queerbaiting, invasive questions, and endless speculation.
Enter Kyle “Gaz” Garrick, an old mate from school, now in the military and schemer extraordinaire. His solution? A fake boyfriend. Someone private, unreachable by the press.
Someone like his lieutenant – Simon “Ghost” Riley. Luckily, Ghost owes Gaz a favour. A big one.
It’s just meant to be a few quiet photos, some social media buzz, a bit of smoke to keep the wolves at bay. But as the season wears on and the fake relationship starts bleeding into quiet nights, real texts, and barely-there touches… Soap starts to wish it were real. And Ghost – Ghost stops knowing where the act ends and something real begins.
What starts as a cover story slowly becomes something neither of them know how to fake anymore.

"Will you marry me?"
OR
When Soap is injured in the field, he makes Ghost a proposal. Ghost humours him, if only to keep his mind off his bleeding for a while.
It's not like anything will come of it, of course.- Language:

Summary
Lying on the ground in front of him, looking not at all like himself, was Ghost.
Which didn’t make any sense, of course, because he was Ghost.
He felt a little woozy, and wondered just how hard he had hit his head for this to happen.
Horangi let out a distressed noise, and Ghost turned towards him.
“You- You’re…” he began, his voice sounding just slightly off, “you’re me.”
Or
Ghost, Alejandro, and Horangi go on a mission. Horangi, Ghost, and Alejandro come back. But surely there’s a way to get back to being themselves?
