Summary
“He liked you, you know.”
“Yeah,” Ghost replies, “couldn’t unstick him from my side, most days.”
“No,” Price reiterates, voice stern as he does so. “I mean he liked you. He was…” Price bobs his head side to side, sort of like he’s contemplating whether or not to say the word out loud. “He told me one day. Came into my office. Thought I’d have some issue with him being on the Task Force because of it.”
Oh.
OR
Near the third anniversary of Soap's death, Ghost is barely coping. But when Price brings him a picture of Soap from three years prior, it resurfaces memories from a night with Johnny that Ghost doesn't ever want to forget-- can't forget.

Summary
Johnny shifts, making himself comfortable, or trying to, and something foul clenches in his heart. He watches him draw his uninjured leg up, flatten it down again, bend his knee to splay it, straighten it again, watches him tuck his arm under the pillow, put both on his chest, and sigh before star fishing out.
It's not for Ghost to watch, but he does. It's not for Ghost to note the bulge in his shorts that are shifting higher on his thick, hairy thighs from all the moving around, but he does.
And he should look away when Johnny huffs out a breath he can almost hear and cups himself, but he doesn't. It'll help settle him down.
It's private.
Soap breaks his foot and is sent away to heal. In repayment for the injury, Ghost offers him his nearby flat. It provides fast access to the base and task force, staying conveniently close. It just so happens to provide Ghost some different access, too.
In which good intentions aren't all that good, bad ones are just what the doctor ordered, and games lay bare what's been carefully hid. In a spiral of obsession and guilt, desire and fear, some guidance isn't amiss. But will it be enough?

Summary
Johnny "Soap" MacTavish has been medically discharged following a mission gone wrong, which left him with severe agoraphobia and PTSD.
At the suggestion of his therapist, he joins a programme which connects both active service members and veterans through the act of writing letters.
Although things get off to a bad start, the connection he forms with his letter mate slowly becomes unbreakable. That is until he gets too close and strikes a nerve.

Summary
Ghost's face has been wiped off the face of the Earth. Nobody knows what he looks like, and nobody can find any pictures. That's the point of erasing yourself.
Except in Soap's journal, where he's sketched Ghost's face fifty-seven times.

Summary
"Kids?" Soap asks, curving his fingers into a silent okay to Ghost without thinking. "Plural?"
"Yes. A boy and a girl. Little Joseph was born a couple of months ago, according to the records."
"Oh," is all Soap says because oh. He has a nephew. A little baby nephew. And then, because that is apparently not enough of a revelation, the doctor says:
"You are listed as their legal guardian, Mr. MacTavish. We need you to pick them up."

Summary
"Tell me about your years as an assassin."
"That's a lot to tell," Gallagher says. "You're going to have to be more specific."
"Tell me about Milkovich."
The change in Gallagher's expression is immediate. His smile vanishes and his eyes go cold. Then he takes a deep breath, and laughs. "Oh, you want to know about Mickey."
