More on the sleepy Ghost agenda except it's Dad!Ghost.
He's always dead tired when he comes home. His gear heavy on his back as he steps through the door of his flat. His mask comes off immediately as he tiptoes through the living room, trying his hardest not to wake Beth, as he can see her sleeping on the sofa with her stuffed bear tucked close to her chest.
Though, as hard as he might try to be quiet, he's a tired man, so he can't help when his feet drag along the hardwood, steel-toed boots knocking against the floor and waking up Beth.
"Daddy?" She mumbles, rubbing her eyes with her small hands as she blearily opens her eyes. "Yeah, 's me, pup." He says softly and makes his way over to the couch, leaning on it for support as he fights to keep his eyes open.
Beth scrambles off the sofa, scuttering over to Ghost as she wraps her arms around his waist, her cheek pressed into the hard fabric of his tactical vest.
"Hold on, sweetheart, let me take this off, alright?" Ghost tiredly unbuckles the straps on his vest and lets it drop to the floor with a thud, groaning as the weight is taken off his shoulders.
He flops down on the cushions of the couch with a hefty sigh and scoops Beth up, plopping her onto his lap and holding her close. "I missed you, you know that?" He mumbles into Beth's mousy brown hair as he holds her tightly, the feeling of her heartbeat against his chest after seeing so much death and violence for so long making him tear up.
"Daddy, you're squishing me!" Beth giggles and squirms on Ghost's lap, reaching for her teddy to give to Ghost. "I missed you too, Daddy. Why do you have to go away all the time?"
"I have to... save people. Make the world a better place for you." He answers, careful with what words he uses to describe his job. "So you're like a superhero?" Beth says, beaming with happiness at the thought of her father being a superhero.
"Well, I suppose you could say that." Ghost closes his eyes, leaning back into the soft cushions as he holds Beth close to him. "That's cool." Beth says with a yawn as she snuggles up against Ghost, pressing her face into his chest and holding her teddy tightly. "Sleepy." She mumbles.
"Yeah, me too." Ghost says quietly, cracking his eyes open to look down at Beth with a soft smile. He slowly strokes her hair, watching as her eyes slip close and she falls asleep, her mouth slightly open as she breathes.
Soon enough, Ghost falls asleep, too. Safe and home with his favourite girl.

I have a question regarding your self ship with levi or megumi, which songs are on your playlist that remind you of him and your relationships?
ahhh. i love this question :) thanks for asking! i am like always listening to music. also sorry ahead of time if this is long i ramble so badly 🙏🏽
to be honest with you for me it’s usually the melody/tune that always makes me think of a person. so for these songs there’s no rhyme or reason it just makes me feel my love for them somehow. sounds corny i know 😂.
levi :
snowfall and watching the stars- øneheart (sped up versions)
tek it-cafuné , this the only song the lyrics matter and it’s because this song to me has i love this person more than they love me vibes. and i love levi so much idk that it could be reciprocated the same way from him even if he loved me too. (that’s so depressing but 🤷🏽♀️)
roslyn- bon iver (slowed version)
the lost soul down- NBSPLV
scott street-phone bridges
always forever- cults
flawless- the neighborhood
duvet-boa
sps - hot mulligan
down bad- yot club
blondie- current joys
megumi :
duvet-boa (it reminds me of both of them)
mr loverman- rocky montgomery (blame the edits)
i was only temporary- .diedlonely
saturday- yot club
i’m so happy-EKKSTACY
there is a light in us- mathbonus
honey-vacations
no one else- indian lakes
remember when- the wallows

я не знаю как врываться сюда после долго периода и че говорить, но в знак приветствия я в конце охуевший трек на зацен скину.
я в последнее время оч даже хорошо справляюсь с апатией, но сокращаю слова в предложениях даже ирл. мне говорят это беды с башкой, а я говорю «ИДИТЕ НАХУЙ!».
рисую бля уже месяц на холстах, на листах вырваных из скетчбука (зач он мне был нужен вообще непонятно, конечно).
почему-то из всех мои рисунков я не могу выделить один, они все описывают моё состояние в те или иные периоды (за месяц, кнш) да и ебал я рот выделять что-то одно, я все моменты безумно сильно ценю и уважаю своё время.
мне хочется творить, пишу много в последнее время, возвращаюсь к истокам, так сказать.
мне совестно, что я бежала так долго от себя, но прибежала-то в себя же.
прыгала выше головы, но прыгала-то на месте.
я. я. я.
всегда было много «я» в моей жизни и меня это всегда устраивало, а вот других раздражало.
я в моменте даже решила закрыться от людей, залечь на дно, быть тише воды и ниже травы, но это не мой лайфстайл.
говорят, что я интроверт, но не социопат. люблю общение, когда оно не в тягость. когда вы буквально сливаетесь в потоке мыслей друг с другом и этот неуловимый поток не заканчивается.
кажется, что это бессмысленный набор предложений, но это жизнь моя.
я не гонюсь за «услышана» и «понята», мне хорошо, когда есть я и платформы, где я могу хуйню постить.
спасибо и трек послушай.

there is light in us. babylon 5. delenn, john sheridan. she wishes they were back on babylon 5, it wouldn’t be a problem then; they would retire to the privacy of his quarters and she would help him undress and he would sleep in his bed, his human bed, and she would lie down next to him, watch over him, just relieved to have him back, to see him alive. she would kiss his brow and tell him to sleep, just sleep, and he would, just that easy. - missing scene from 4x19, set before john takes command of the agamemnon.
muse-ic: there is light in us (slowed) by mathbonus
disclaimer: I own nothing, just playing with the characters for a little while. not beta’d, so all mistakes are mine.
read on AO3 or continue under the cut
-
It is quite some time before he agrees to have someone look at him.
She listens to the physician list John’s injuries, not letting go of his hand the whole time; two ribs appear to have been broken and mended during his incarceration, dehydration, drugs still in his system, cuts and bruises. For such a fragile species, humans are particularly resilient.
He is no exception; wounds will heal, bones will repair themselves, not the way they were before but something sturdier, stronger. With time and care, his body will recover. She will have to learn the new scars, add them to the collection, memorize the new map of his skin. As much as she hates them right now, hates that his own people inflicted them upon him, she will learn to do with them because they’re a part of him now, and she loves him.
He doesn’t want to talk about what they have done to him beyond the physical, though.
They’re gotten reports of torture, both physical and psychological; though he appears to have been beaten up repeatedly during the last week, fortunately he’s gotten out of it in pretty much good shape given the circumstances. She fears about what he doesn’t tell her though, what it means; when he doesn’t want to talk about it, it only means one thing.
It was that bad.
One quick shower, and a light meal to settle his stomach, and he is ready to collapse. He doesn’t look happy upon seeing the slant, but he’d insisted on leaving medbay as soon as the examination was over. ‘Only the angles of the beds in medbay can be changed,’ she reminds him hesitantly.
‘Yeah, I know. Too many accidents trying the change the angle.’ They don’t talk about Susan, the only one on the ship to have this luxury. Probably the reason why he fled medbay as quickly as possible.
He grimaces when he tries to settle on it, on his back, arms straight. He closes his eyes and breathes deeply through his nose, tries to relax; his legs give out immediately and he starts sliding down.
‘Goddammit!’
She grabs his hand, helps him up. ‘I know, I’m sorry.’
He sighs, squeezes her hand. ‘I’m sorry. I’m just—I’m tired.’
She wishes they were back on Babylon 5, it wouldn’t be a problem then; they would retire to the privacy of his quarters and she would help him undress and he would sleep in his bed, his human bed, and she would lie down next to him, watch over him, just relieved to have him back, to see him alive. She would kiss his brow and tell him to sleep, just sleep, and he would, just that easy.
It’s not that easy.
Were he in better condition, she would tell him to move over so that she could curl up next to him, help him find the best way to be comfortable. But he’s not, his ribs still hurting and adrenaline running low now. He’s cranky and snappy, if only he could get a good night’s sleep, put his mind at rest for a few hours at least.
She kisses his hand instead and he stills, looks at her in a way that unsettles her. What have they done to you back there?
‘You should sleep, John—’
‘I saw you when I was there, you know,’ he says, his gaze unflinching, the corners of his mouth going up in the tiniest of smiles. ‘I saw you.’
She wants to tell him that it wasn’t her, couldn’t be but doesn’t. But then maybe he did see her, the same way she woke with a start, calling his name; she just knew. They are no telepaths, both of them, but the connection runs deep, something she doesn’t really have words to explain, whether it’s in her language or his. Love through the vastness of space; physics don’t apply to it, it just is.
But right now she just needs him to sleep, to rest for a while.
‘Please, John,’ she tries again. The hardness in his eyes softens a little; he’s done, seen and undergone too many things now for it to ever go away, but she gets to see a little bit of the innocence he had when they first met, before all of this.
‘I’m so tired.’
She smoothes the hair away from his forehead. ‘I know. I’m here. Go to sleep.’
Na’chas du’vena.
The sound of gentle rain and he blinks, hard. His next breath is shaky as he suddenly focuses on the ceiling. He doesn’t shout or trash the place in anger but he does cry, silently, tears running down his cheeks like rain would run down on crystal buildings in Tuzanor, the City of Sorrows; a cleansing of the mind if not the healing of it.
She doesn’t tell him it will be okay, at least not in English, but she does tell him in Adronato because he’s told her once it sounded gentle and he hasn’t had time to learn it yet. Told him back then he should start with Feek but he’d insisted on learning her dialect, because it was hers.
They never had time. They never do.
A’fel E’, she whispers, her lips brushing his forehead. It’s not the first time she tells him, but it’s the first time she tells him in her own language. She tells him about how she’s loved him from the very moment she laid her eyes on him, has never once stopped loving him and how she will continue to love him even when he is gone. A’fel E’, ah’mala. De’Sher.
She kisses him gently. He doesn’t respond, but it’s okay.
He sleeps, finally.
—end
