Summary
He can’t get the thought of death out of his mind, the images blurring together like a painting made from blood in his mind. The picture shifts constantly, and Soap could handle it if it would just stop changing. He can handle death. He can handle dying. He can’t handle a thousand possibilities of how he might die. He does the only thing he can think of.
“If you were going to kill me, would you do it fast or slow?”
A beat passed. Long enough that Soap thinks that Ghost isn't going to reply and that will be the end of it.
“Slowly,” Ghost says eventually, startling Soap.
“How would you do it?”
Ghost looks over him, eyes sweeping over his body, and Soap feels somehow, achingly seen. “I'd cut you up. Make you bleed all pretty for me.”
OR
After Ghost rescues Soap from being tortured, Soap is unable to get all the ways his captors threatened to kill him out of his mind. Ghost helps him deal with his intrusive thoughts.

Summary
Soap paused, picking up the pen. He looked over his list. Three columns, “yes”, “no”, and “maybe”. He pulled the paper close. Hesitating, he underlined a single item, then crossed out the rest of them one by one. When he finished, he looked back at Ghost, as if daring him to say something about it. When Ghost didn’t, Soap pushed the paper over, crossing his arms over his chest.
Underlined was “kneeling” under “yes”, the only thing left on the page. It didn’t matter what the other “yes” items had been, they were very clearly in the “no” column now.
Ghost forced himself not to feel frustrated, had to admit to himself that Soap might be the most challenging sub he had ever had assigned into one of his units.

Summary
But Ghost didn’t seem to mind, quietly filling the kettle before setting it to boil, those dark eyes watching as John paced the kitchen, one arm flailing about in the air, the other locked tight around his half-melted pint of rocky road.
He told Ghost he was stressed. That the entire MacTavish clan was coming into town, which meant awkward hugs, judgmental stares, and nosy questions from people he hadn’t seen in years. John could handle all of that, he really could.
But what he couldn’t handle was the questions. Why he hadn’t settled down yet, why he didn’t have a nice Scottish girl on his arm.
Why he wasn’t married with a child on the way, because Ethel and James weren’t getting younger, and John was already too old. For fuck’s sake.
“Maybe I don’t want to bring home a wee lass,” John had snapped, voice cracking as he dug his spoon in harder than necessary, a brown, congealed clump of freezer-burned rocky road flying onto the floor. “Maybe I don’t even like women, has anyone considered that?”
And there, in less than twenty words, John had completely outed himself.

Summary
“Right when Johnny goes to open his mouth to say something, anything, Simon pushes off the wall and walks out of the office. Johnny’s mouth opening goes to staying dropped open in shock with his head whipping around past his shoulder at the man fucking leaving without a word like the last year didn’t fucking happen. Is he fucking serious? Did he just dismiss Johnny?”
Will post-break-up Ghoap who are horrible at miscommunication and feelings eventually sort their shit out and find their way back to each other?

Summary
Gaz laughed, leaning in closer. “Mate… you really think Ghost wouldn’t be happy to… help you sort yourself out? His favourite sergeant?
Soap blinked at him, mouth half open. “Ghost? Are you daft? He doesn’t show interest in anyone. Man’s practically a machine.”
Gaz gave Soap a smirk he couldn’t quite decipher. “Oh, Christ… You think Ghost’s a closed book. But me? I reckon that man’s a bloody novella of filth. And that book is dedicated to one John MacTavish”

Soap is curious about some things, Gaz is happy to help him explore and Ghost? He’s not thrilled about it.Series

Summary
John shoots awake with a sharp gasp, his chest rising and falling with quick breaths. His skin is coated with sweat, and he can feel beads of it slip down his temple.
The heat, the panic, and the stress of it all has John hyperventilating. He doesn’t even remember what woke him up—can’t even scrounge up a single detail from the nightmare.

Summary
This was absolutely not how Soap imagined this op going. Get in, clear the building, maybe crack a joke or two with Ghost over comms. Easy. Standard. Piece of bloody cake. Instead, he found himself crammed into a tiny broom closet, chest-to-chest with his lieutenant, both of them gasping for air like they'd been shoved into a vice.
Actually, scratch that. Crammed into a tiny broom closet, chest-to-chest with the lieutenant he'd been harboring a massive, pathetic crush on for years.

Or: the one where Soap fucks around (literally) and finds out (literally), except it spirals out of control. As per usual.
He is so fucked (again, literally.)

Summary
A beat. The line goes completely quiet for a moment. “Repeat that, Serg?”
Soap groans lowly, pained. “Ne’ver got out from.. under ta buildin’. I don't know which side ‘am on.”
Dead silence. He can't even hear them breathing. Soap panics, managing a small, embarrassingly, childishly afraid sounding, “Cap’n? Lt? Gaz—can ye ‘ear me—”
“You’re still in the building that collapsed?”

“God, you’re perfect…” Simon muttered, as Kyle came all over the sheet

Summary
“I think that’s enough Soap for one day.”
Soap didn’t think that the others realized that his heart had just stopped working.
A chest, a wit, murmured into a glass of half-drunk Whiskey by Ghost, a chuckling Gaz nearby who gave Ghost a pat on the shoulder. Price huffed before taking a sip from his beer, and Soap remained quiet, his body numb, his head foggy, his heart still.
“He’s your Lieutenant. That contract’s unreturnable.”
Price crooked a smile at Ghost, who let out a heavy breath. Gaz took a sip from his bottle, chuckling over it. “Should have read the fine print, Ghost.”
Ghost shrugged. “Next time I’ll do.”Another version of the shut-up-trope. Lots of angst and hurt!Soap with a happy ending.

Summary
All Johnny wanted was a boyfriend, an equal partner. Someone to share his damn tea with and maybe even hold hands under the table when Price wasn't looking. Simon just wanted a one-time thing, on and off. A release, a distraction from work. Soap just wanted a little romance, love. Not just a hookup, nor casual. Not just sex, no matter how fucking good it was.

Summary
Gaz likes to help out his captain in any way he can. He likes feeling useful, likes doing things rather than sitting around. He doesn't ask or expect a "thank you" from Price, and he doesn't usually receive one. All he gets is sometimes, Price will bring him pancakes for dinner. At first, Gaz just thinks Price is being friendly, or just straight up weird. But as Price makes pancakes more and more times, Gaz starts to suspect there's a more secret meaning behind the action.
--OR--
A 4+1 that follows the 4 times Price made pancakes for Gaz, and the 1 time he told him what it meant.
