    Summary

    After a mission gone wrong leaves Simon “Ghost” Riley deaf in one ear and Johnny “Soap” MacTavish with a permanent leg injury, both men are forced into early retirement. Soap uses his pension to buy a crumbling house on the edge of a quiet town, determined to make something of it, even if the place looks like it should’ve come with a tetanus shot.

    Ghost shows up with a duffel bag and his usual scowl, moving into the guest room to help with renovations. Between faulty wiring, leaking pipes, and a fridge that seems to growl at two a.m., the two of them fall into a new rhythm of grocery runs, hardware store trips, and late-night fixes. The banter is sharp, the silences softer than either expected, and somewhere between the broken walls and peeling paint, they begin to rebuild more than just the house.

    It’s a story about finding purpose when the battlefield is gone, about healing old wounds in the comfort of shared domestic chaos, and about realizing that sometimes “home” isn’t a place, it’s each other.

    Summary

    Captain John Price made it far in the world as hybrid. Leading the famous task force 141 for General Shepherd, designated to locate all unregistrated hybrids, he wants to give his men a safe place where they just can be themselves. Their newest addition, John "Soap" MacTavish seems to have just what they are lacking - a neverending smile and joy. While the others adopt him at once, Ghost doesn't want him as his Sergeant.
    He changes his opinion soon.

    Set to go on a mission together, they find something out about themselves, and also something about General Shepherd.

    Summary

    Leon looked better.

    Leon looked better. His hair was clean, his breath didn't reek of booze, the bags under his eyes weren't nearly as dark as they were back in New York.

    Leon had looked better - so why, why, why why why why is Chris peeling his best friend off the cold ground, dirt sticky with a mix of Leon's blood and vomit, the stench of alcohol permeating the air around his limp body.

    Why?
