    Summary

    Now, Soap's got a healthy amount of superstition, as much as the next guy. He taps twice on the spines of his sketchbooks before opening and closing them. Wrenches his door handle up whenever he enters his room even though that does nothing to lock it, just because back in his childhood home the front door would stick and that was the only way to make sure it was properly shut before the deadbolt would work.

    He offers a mindless, habitual prayer whenever they pass by a roadside memorial. Taps his glass once on the table before drinking when on a night out, whenever he's drinking from something made of glass.

    Little things. Simple things he barely thinks about, and no one calls him out on in his team. Just another Soap-quirk, one of thousands of little rituals that every man who risks his life on the daily would do if they thought it would put Lady Luck on their side and let them see another sunrise.

    But this…thing. This thing has no explanation. No little ritual to make him stop seeing it. It keeps its distance but in that way a haunted doll in films does - with the implicit knowledge that it will get closer, it will move.

    Summary

    When Soap keeps coming back from leave covered in bruises, it's clear there's something wrong. It's down to Ghost to figure out what's going on - and how to help Soap. He's out of his depth but it becomes clear that he's Soap's only hope. Can he help him, and can Soap heal from what's been done to him?

    (Spoiler alert - the answer is yes. We're all about the happy endings here, folks!)

    Picks up just after the events in Verdansk, 2019, weaves through canon and ultimately serves as a fix it for the canon ending of MWIII.

    Summary

    Soap didn't die in the tunnel that day. Eight years since he last saw Soap, Ghost's life is in ruins. All he has is a piece of paper with an address on it. He knows where he's going, he just isn't sure of the welcome when he gets there.

    A fix it fic for the ending of MWIII (2023) but I hurt Ghost some more to do it. Sorry, buddy, but it was worth it. A tale of healing, growth, acceptance and love.

    Summary

    "Ye ever heard of a whalefall?" Soap asks. Ghost nods. "Big carcass, settlin' down in the bottom of the ocean, and all these other things get to feast off it. Don't care where it swam, how old it was, dinnae even care what it's made of 'cept meat." He takes another drag, down to the filter.

    Ghost hands his over, doesn't even think about it until he sees Soap's lip close around the shine of his own saliva. His breath hitches, riveted beyond belief. "Kinda makes ye wonder, ye ken? If there is God, and He's off doin' whatever, what might come in and feed off what He left behind?"

    Things evolve to feed. Hunger is the oldest emotion there is.

    Summary

    Arthur knows he's dying, can feel the unstoppable pull of it, feels the spirit appear behind him to take him along. And yet, he finds he does not want to die. There is so much that went wrong, so much he regrets and he wishes, with all his being, he could change it. Could at least ensure those that managed to get away really make it out alive.

    A second chance, he asks, begs, really. Just give me the chance to save them.

    The being behind him pauses and Arthur can't look away from the moment he's frozen in, staring at the dark mountainside, aching to see the sun rise just one more time.

    One chance, the spirit seems to whisper, voice satin soft. Make the most of it.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    This might just be one of the best things I have ever read. The pacing, the writing, the images it conjures in your mind. Ugh. I want to cry and also read it again. Thank you so much for giving them the ending they deserved.
