    Summary

    It’s been a long five years for Mara Moretti. She fell pregnant right before her twenties and instead of studying, she was learning how to raise her boy and hold a job at the same time.
    Now, she’s got her first apartment, her job’s been steady for months, and her son (the cutest boy alive if you ask her) is finally leaving his shy phase. Things are really looking up…if she ignores the chronic hip pain, the slightly crushing loneliness of single-motherhood, and the bass currently bouncing out of her neighbours apartment.

    It’s been two years since Johnny MacTavish got himself an Honourable Discharge from the S.A.S. He moved to a small town where his best buddy and comrade Simon Riley had moved just a year before, after his own H.D. and took up work at the local fire station, the 141, finding himself a home away from home.
    He’s had new neighbours for three weeks, but with his unpredictable schedule he’s yet to meet the small family. After touring the local schools for the annual Super-Safe-Summer fire-safety chats, he lets loose for the end of the work week with his crew…and is met with an angry, pyjama-clad young lady at his front door hardly three hours in.

    John “Soap” MacTavish is an up-and-comer aspiring to make it to his first Olympics, but he’s gone through a string of coaches that have decided he doesn’t have what it takes. When Coach Price witnesses an explosion between John and his most recent coach, Price can’t help but lend a hand, reaching out to an old friend and four-time Olympic gold winner, Simon Riley, who he believes can help bring out John’s potential.

    Summary

    Being friends (if that) with benefits with Ghost is far from what Soap wants, but it's all he's going to get. He tries to not yearn. Fails

    After all, it's hard not to fall for a man that looks just as good bathed in soft morning light as he does drenched in blood. Someone who understands Soap, the violence coursing through his veins, the enjoyment from killing, doing their job. Someone he's never going to have.

    When they retire and go their separate ways, Soap thinks this is how it ends. There is, however, that strange feeling of being watched, even in his civilian life...

    Summary

    Gaz is screwed. He's got no one, and nowhere to go. The only person he could think to call told him to find Ghost. But with the way they'd left things off, well...
    Gaz is going to suck up his pride, and grovel at Ghost's feet if he has to...

    “Hello, love.” If Kyle didn’t need a place to live,

    “Thought you weren’t comin’.” The cheeky bastard smirks, he can't see under the mask but Kyle knows. The way his cheeks lift and his crows feet squint. Leaning against the door frame like he owned the world. With all the power to kick while he’s already down or watch as he scurries in, tail between his legs.

    Maybe dying alone in the street wouldn't be so bad...

    Summary

    Redamancy - the act of loving the one who loves you

    When Ghost is placed on medical leave and two months later, one Soap MacTavish shows up at his door. Despite their multiple years of being best friends, Soap doesn't know much about what Ghost is like outside of work and uses this maybe not-so-spontaneous visit to find out more. Ghost finds out more too, about Soap and himself. And Ghost has a dog now.

    This is a rewrite of Retrouvailles

    Summary

    Retrouvailles - the feeling of joy when reuniting with someone after a long separation

    Ghost is placed on a two-month leave to recover from a injury and Price sends Soap to get him back. Soap finds out a lot about what Ghost is like when he's not working, and he keeps finding out more. Ghost finds out more too, about them both. And oh, by the way, Ghost has a dog.

    ***Retrouvailles has been rewritten - you're welcome to read the original version but (and I'm biased on this) the rewrite is better, particularly in the context of the sequel fic. The rewritten version can be found on my page (Redamancy) or through https://archiveofourown.org/works/51840280/chapters/131069419

    Summary

    After an accident nearly costing them their lives Ghost and Soap had to leave the military behind. They parted without a word of goodbye and now three years later John is finally ready to face Simon again.

    "After all John was the reason they were both here now, retired, cut off from everything they had known. And the guilt was gnawing at him, eating away everything he had once been. Every jab of pain in his leg was a reminder of his shame, every panic attack his rightful price to pay. Because it had been his fault. And Simon had left him for it."

    Summary

    "Why don't you like him? He's always seemed to like you, he's never been aggressive or anything has he?" Ghost asks. Riley comes bounding back inside, tongue lolling from his mouth as he skids across the wooden floor. Just like that, with a sharp intake of breath, Soaps tension returns.

    "No, it's not his fault, I'm just not a dog person." Soap mutters. His eyes never meet Ghosts, constantly trained on the stalking body of Riley who is searching for his toy.

    "Johnny, I really don't mind trying to get in touch with Price-"

    "Simon, drop it, the dog stays!" Soap insists, "Trust me, he's fine."

    It isn't fine. It's absolutely as far from fine as Ghost thinks it can get. Soap hasn't relaxed once since getting there, too worked up by the dogs presence to even consider chilling out. As expected, Johnnys patience doesn't last and on the third day, he breaks.

    or
    Price asks Ghost to take Riley on leave with him. Ghost would love to, except Soap is terrified of dogs. It wouldn’t be an issue if it wasn’t for the fact that Soap is his secret partner and is expecting to visit.
