    Summary

    There’s a ghost haunting the 141 common room. At least, Soap is about 80% sure there is, which is, in fairness, realistically about as sure as anyone could reasonably be about spooks haunting their workplace. He’s not stupid, he knows no one else is going to believe him if he brings it up. The scorn if he suddenly starts harping on about ghosties and ghoulies.

    None of that negates the fact that there definitely is one though. Probably.

    Summary

    It’s easy enough to keep himself still when Johnny begins to touch him. He drags warm, firm hands across Simon’s back, his palms sliding effortlessly against skin and scars alike with the oil slicking the way. It’s as familiar as it is alien. Johnny’s hands, callused and strong. Reliable and sturdy; clever and quick. They’re the same hands that clap him on the shoulder and pat him on the arm and hand him a mug of tea.

    He’s rarely had them on his bare skin. Simon runs hot; knows it because of how he’s had to act as the human furnace on missions with subzero temperatures and snow banks taller than his head. But Johnny’s hands mark their path across the plane of his back with a pleasant warmth, one that lingers even as his touch moves on.

    Johnny’s palms dig into the meat at his shoulders, then push down, across his back and his ribs and his waist. By the time his hands catch at his waistband, Simon has arched into the sensation like a cat, muscles trembling. Johnny’s hands lift away and, strings cut, he collapses into the bed, breath shaking.

    or: Ghost has been tense lately; Soap helps him with that.

    Summary

    “We don’t eat children,” Ghost finally mutters, because it’s annoying him, and his shoulders ache, and he can’t believe that rumor actually got any traction. Why would dragons eat children? They’re hardly more than a mouthful.

    To his surprise, Soap laughs. “I ken,” he replies, grinning when Ghost turns to look at him. “And ye don’t keep virgins for a hundred years to ripen ‘em up, and ya don’t even hoard all that badly. I’m no’ daft.”

    “Could’a fooled me,” Ghost mutters.

    “Ye attacked me in the dead of night when I was asleep, used yer fuckin’ dark magic on me,” Soap snaps. “In a fair fight I’da won.”

    Ghost snorts again, ashy and hot behind his mask. “Unlikely.”

    “Take off these bonds and we’ll see then, eh?”

    Summary

    Gaz laughed quietly, leaning back in his chair. “Poetry, proper tea, even good coffee on occasion. The Captain’s makin’ the rest of us look lazy. He’s bringin’ Ghost around slow and steady, like they’re characters in some 19th-century romance.”

    Soap grinned, his gaze flicking back to Ghost, who was still looking at the book like he couldn’t decide if he’d imagined it. “And Ghost here—doesn’t see a thing. He’s thicker than a brick wall when it comes to this sort of thing.”

    Summary

    “Shit, Simon,” says Price. He hopes the man isn’t angry with the name.

    “How bad is it?”

    “You appear to be skewered on a large metal rod.”


    Price and Ghost are crushed in a building collapse. They'll be lucky if even one of them makes it out alive.
