Hi!

I am begging you please I need to know how soaps family reacts to ghost!! Did Oliver keep his mouth shut? Does Mum’tavish throw the aforementioned fit? How bad is price’s disappointed dad face? And will Gaz ever recover from the bruised ribs I’m sure he got from laughing so hard?

Also the ficlet was really well written you have nothing to worry about I loved it!

Price's disappointed Dad Face was so bad it haunts Soap's nightmares to this day

Gaz almost passed out from laughing so hard, and Price had to help walk him out like he would if Gaz were really drunk. Gaz is still laughing about it

Oliver didn't say anything except to his wife that night.

The next morning, however, he sent a text to their parents saying "John's in the hospital. I brought him in last night. He's fine, but you should visit." He then proceeded to clue in their sisters on what was happening, to which they agreed to be there "for moral support. It's probably gonna be so hard on Mum to see her precious baby boy in the hospital"

Ghost should be lucky Soap ran into his family in the hallways before they made it all the way to the room

Mum'Tavish didn't throw much of a fit, just cussed Soap a new one for doing something as stupid as switching tags and then not telling them he's dating someone. After a lot of talking and explaining, Soap manages to get them all to calm down enough to be excited about meeting Simon once he's better.

Soap's parents definitely offer to let him and Simon stay with them while Simon recovers. Cue a lot of interactions where it's basically Mrs. MacTavish is Mrs. Weasley and Soap is Ron and Simon is Harry

*Mum'Tavish yelling at Soap*

*Immediately turns and is the sweetest person towards Ghost*

If someone hasn't asked yet Pricegravesnik for that ship thing :D

Ooohhh a challenge! Let's see where this goes lol

They're all married for this btw

If anyone wants to submit another ship, please do so! If you actually have other ideas for the questions "Like who takes the hottest showers?" then I'd love to hear them!

Who was the one to propose? Actually I want to say Price when he proposed to Nik. I want to say neither were willing to commit to marrying each other for a couple years until something happened and Price realized it's never a guarantee to keep the good things in life, so might as well keep them close while you can. Nik's the one that started the flirting with Graves and wanted to propose to him, but Graves beat him to it. (my tired brain made me read that as Graves proposed to himself, which honestly? He would. He'd do it just to mess with them and go "Sorry, I'm already engaged")

Who stressed more over wedding planning? I genuinely see Nik as the one that was flipping out the whole time. Graves was surprisingly the least stressed (he was recruiting his Shadows for help shhhhh) and Price was experiencing about the normal level of stress you'd expect for a wedding.

Who decorated the house? Graves. In truth, it was a mostly group effort; Price's favorite recliner is there, Nik's very nice, suspiciously acquired liquor cabinet, a few things they've both received from Laswell, Farah, Alex, and the 141 boys. But Graves is the true decorator. Granted, most of this stuff is gifts from the Shadows when they heard he was getting married.

Who does the cooking? I, again, want to say Graves's Southern ass does, but like... I feel like Price knows his way around a kitchen, ya know? Nik is banished from kitchens.

Who is more organized? None of them are necessarily organized per say. Graves is the best at keeping the appearance of being organized but in reality it's Price. Graves's planners are always neat, his desk is always neat, but that doesn't mean shit. Price's office always looks like Nik landed a copter too close but he knows exactly where everything is and he's the most on top of schedules/appointments/important dates.

Who suggested kids first? Nik. Like as a serious suggestion. He's seen the way both his husbands are, and he just knows they'd be wonderful dads. Desperately wants to be a girl dad.

Who's the cuddler? Nik is the cuddliest, but Graves is a close second. Price just wants some fucking peace and quiet.

Who is big spoon/little spoon? Graves always ends up the little spoon of at least one of them. As much as he tries his best to be a big spoon and big spoon only, he always ends up in the middle of them with one wrapped around behind him. Nik is always a big spoon though, and somehow Price ends up being the little spoon. (Graves is not complaining, he's got two bears for husbands so you know ending up in the middle of that is hella nice. And he should be thankful) *I am extremely jealous of Graves now but I have no one to blame but myself and maybe @midnight193 for submitting this ship*

What's their favorite non-sexual activity? Probably something quiet, but at the same time they're all so chaotic it'd never stay quiet long, so I almost want to say something like *mind blanks* Um.... Honestly? Bowling. Don't ask me why, it just popped in there and now I can't get that mental image out of my head. That or axe-throwing cause they're each such show-offs. Graves gets a +2 strength bonus when the Shadows are around

Who comes home drunk at 3am? Nik. Is there really any other answer? It's not often, it's still a rarity, but still. That! Or it's Graves after a party with his Shadows. He's always absolutely blasted after social engagements involving alcohol with his Shadows

Who kills the spiders? Price. None of them are afraid, but Graves did have one really bad allergic reaction once and ever since then Price is the one to kill the spiders. Nik tried using fire once. It did not work. He is no longer allowed to kill spiders, even though he promises to never do it again

Who falls asleep first? Hot take? Graves. He's going 100 all day and just crashes once it's bedtime. Sometimes, if Nik and Price are coming home late, they walk in to see Graves just sprawled out on the bed, having not even bothered taking his jeans off and he is out cold. (of course they always gently get him into bed proper and that's how he ends up in the middle)

A head-canon? Nik is a human furnace, which is partly why he has to be one of the ends when they cuddle/sleep. There have been times where he's ended up in the middle and Price is just on the floor cause HOT. Graves, a true Texan (he's Texan right? *I am having an existential crisis over this for some reason??*) is used to the heat, and is secretly sometimes reminded of home with it, so he's okay with being swarmed by human heater Nik. Price, a fucking Brit, can't stand it when he's too warm for comfort. He'd rather kill his back sleeping on the floor or their really shitty couch than be trapped with that. A second one because why not? Price always ends up being the "victim" of sexual jokes/blatant nasty flirting from Graves and Nik. He can be chilling, minding his business, and suddenly one of them says something really dirty to the other and Price, the poor thing, it's not his fault he gets so easily flustered!

Do they have any rituals? Graves has so many rituals when it's Shadow Olympics week. There's too many to count but they're all vital for his team winning, and even some of them to ensure none of his Shadows are harmed/all have fun. Nik constantly teases him for being a dad, which ends up in Graves calling himself Daddy and making Price snort his tea. Price has incredible oral hygiene, and the other two have pretty normal routines for that sort of thing. Nik's only "ritual" is the series of stretches he does before flying. It took a while for Graves to be able to witness it, so Price once recorded it and sent it to him.

Who has the most patience? Nik, a thousand times over. Price has to deal with Soap, Ghost, and Gaz on a constant basis. And those boys are so needy they can't just leave him alone during leave, either! Graves can be pretty patient, but after a long day of dealing with hyperactive Shadows and a giant techie with chronic anxiety, he gets a little snippy. Nik on the other hand? Totally chilled out like 90% of the time. He's had a couple of bad days where he'll scowl at someone annoying him and the very rare occasions that he does lose his cool. Ghost has witnessed this once, and the rant Nik was on wasn't even directed at him, but he's still traumatized by it (@cod-dump has an incorrect quotes that definitely inspired this. In fact! Mike is the fucking reason I'm obsessed with Graves now! So *angrily stomps but it's more like a cute puppy* damn you! This is your fault!)

hc + 💉 for a medical-themed headcanon

For the 141 boys

Ghost is actually surprisingly cooperative with medical professionals. He's been through too much physical trauma to not be. At one point in his life, I imagine the only people that spoke to him with kind words and gentle tones were the nurses taking care of him. Therefore, he's actually one of the best patients any Medic or doctor could ask for. Ghost is also just really medically adapt. He knows so much about wound care and on the spot first response stuff. He's the one you want if there's no Medic on the team

Price is the one that's pissing everyone off. He's a horrible patient, tell me I'm wrong i dare you. Price has good first aid knowledge from experience out in the field.

Gaz actually doesn't like blood but it depends on the context. When he's working, it's fine it's wwhatever. When he's just chilling on the couch in the rec room and someone busts ass and has a massive cut that's bleeding? Motherfucker is green from how sick he's about to be. He knows how to stop a bleed and that's about it.

Soap actually knows the most in terms of first aid/medical care. His oldest sibling is a doctor, his next two are both medical professionals. His Ma was a nurse, and he spent a lot of time learning with them. Also the worst patient because he just is in my head. Does it stem from being the youngest in a family of medical professionals??? Probably but who's to say

The brain rot is attacking me so I’m sharing the love

GazRoach but with Asexual Roach

Yay, more brainrot!!

I'm going with the idea that Roach is a burn victim and so he sometimes he has issues feeling comfortable in his skin (cause I just cannot unsee him as such because of all the beautiful art and writings I've seen depicting him as such). This has nothing to do with his asexuality, he was ace before the accident!

(also somehow fucked up the formatting and deleted two whole questions and the answers so like sorry if the first few questions are kinda rushed. I was mad at myself cause I had already written the answers just to immediately delete them)

Who was the one to propose? Gaz. It was the cutest, sweetest, most beautiful thing and Roach refused to stop hugging him.

Who stressed more over wedding planning? Roach probably. He wants Gaz to have the best wedding ever, but Gaz couldn't care less about the circumstances, just the fact he gets to marry his best friend :)

Who decorated the house? Gaz has style and it definitely started out as him, but Roach keeps bringing in little knick-knacks so eventually, there are rooms where guests can tell Roach had a hand in it's decor

Who does the cooking? Both can cook pretty decently, so typically they take turns. However, Roach often cooks more than Gaz. I don't know why, I just feel like Roach, even though he's a menace, can really whip up some gourmet shit.

Who is more organized? Roach, actually. Gaz is plenty organized, as a result of years being in the military and needing to keep his shit tidy, but Roach is the actual organized one. Yeah, he's bug boy, bugs have very complex systems and maintain those with diligence. -Roach's motto

Who suggested kids first? Gaz, probably. They don't think they ever will have kids, but Gaz is the one to ask about it first.

Who's the big cuddler? Gaz, but sometimes he gets banished to the floor when Roach feels constricted.

Who's the big spoon/little spoon? Gaz is little spoon. Whatever you do, don't imagine Roach burying his face in between Gaz's shoulders after a really tough day and just holding onto Gaz like he's his very lifeline (he is), and don't picture Gaz humming a little bit cause he knows the vibrations calm Roach down. Don't imagine them falling asleep like this, don't imagine Gaz staying in bed well past the time he should all because Roach is sleeping so peacefully, still wrapped around him.

Favorite non-sexual activity? Everything. They're such adrenaline junkies, despite their traumas, and like to push each other. They're actually working on Gaz's absolute terror of heights, bit by bit. Gaz wants to be able to ride a roller-coaster again without having flashbacks :')

Who comes home drunk at 3am? I don't see either of them being really heavy drinkers like this, if I'm being honest. Unless Soap is there and offers to drive both back to their place, neither really gets drunk.

Who kills the spiders? Gaz wants to kill them but Roach refuses to let him. Bugs are friends :) *Roach is very much committed to the bit*

Who falls asleep first? Gaz. I feel like he's so normal about things like that. Like he can just easily fall asleep, whereas Roach is laying there thinking about that ant he stepped on earlier.

A head-canon? Roach, being a burn victim, has a pretty tough time every now and then feeling like he fits in his skin. It doesn't help he's definitely got some Sensory Processing Issues, and so sometimes he really wants to claw off his skin. His burns do cover a good portion of his torso and upper legs. Sometimes when people give him a hard time about being ace, cause we all know there's those assholes, he just uses the excuse of his burns to make them uncomfortable. He came out ace well before the incident, but we all know he's not been taken seriously until he started blaming it on the incident. The two are still pretty intimate with each other; Roach loves when Gaz applies the creams/meds to his scarring, mostly cause the whole time Gaz is whispering praise in his ear, saying how proud he is, how pretty Roach is, etc. Not to mention, some of the places are hard for him to reach, and there's scarring up near his crotch (which is incredibly uncomfortable on Roach's bad days when he's reminded a lot of his skin isn't technically his own and he's overtly aware of the sensation of Gaz's hands on him), and so sometimes there's a lot of reassurance on both sides, from Roach saying he's good to keep going, and from Gaz to say "just a bit more, Bug, okay? You're doing good" Roach adores Gaz's physique, and is constantly photographing him; there's so many photos of Gaz in all sorts of different circumstances. The fall/cozy sweater pictures that are scattered around the flat, the ones of Gaz in the snow, or shirtless in the bright summer sun just looking like he's thriving. There's a secret stash of all of the nudes Roach has taken of Gaz. They're all so artistic and beautiful and non-sexualized photos of Gaz just simply ~Existing~ and those photos are Roach's most prized possessions. Roach just loves when Gaz isn't wearing clothes in general, and he's definitely stealing all his shirts so Gaz has 'no choice' but to walk around shirtless. Roach's favorite time of year is gray sweatpant season cause he gets the perfect view of Gaz's hips, the lines leading down and disappearing underneath his pants, the way Roach can still see the very minute dimples on Gaz's lower back, just visible above his pants.

Do they have any "rituals"? Only the process of applying creams/meds to Roach's burn areas. Gaz puts on a whole theatric basically to help put Roach into a good mood, and Gaz has to have the right playlist, the right stuff to cover the rather unpleasant scent of the medication cream, etc. (this is kind of a stressful thing for Roach, he's still pretty sensitive in certain areas/easy to trigger cause the trauma is still relatively fresh)

Who has the most patience? Gaz, most definitely. He's still glaring at you if you're annoying him, but it'll take a while before he ever loses his cool. Roach is just feral :D

SoapGaz

*cracks knuckles* They're definitely idiots to lovers but as in they're idiots and they become lovers, not as in "oblivious to the other's extreme attraction until a climatic moment"

Who was the one to propose? I want it to be Soap so badly but also think it'd be very on brand for them/their relationship if Gaz also proposed. I'm talking like the Spiderman meme where they point at each other when they realize and then they laugh and neither can even say yes, they try to kiss but they're both still laughing too hard. It's just such a beautiful mental image that I have right now :')

Who stressed more over wedding planning? Gaz. Gaz a thousand times over. Soap is experienced with weddings and wedding planning (he has so many in-law siblings and almost all of his cousins his age/older are married.) but Gaz doesn't have any experience with even being at a wedding, much less planning his own.

Who decorated the house? Gaz. He's got style and taste, but he a hundred percent uses a lot of Soap's artwork :)

Who does the cooking? Soap. He was taught and raised well by such a large family that food was just a staple of his upbringing.

Who is more organized? Hot take? Soap is the more organized one. He's a demo expert, yes, but those things are fucking dangerous! He may not be cleaner necessarily, but he knows certain things CANNOT mix, and he got so into the habit of putting things into separate categories that it just carried over into civilian living.

Who suggested kids first? Soap, jokingly. But in terms of who was serious when suggesting it? Gaz. Soap had made a comment about "what if we had one?" while at a MacTavish family event and pointing at a little niece/nephew of his as a joke. Gaz had to play along with it but internally he was flipping out. He brings up the conversation of kids as a serious topic a few weeks later.

Who's the cuddler? Both are very physically affectionate. But in terms of 'must be touching you at all times?' it's Gaz. Soap runs hot I feel like, so especially at night he doesn't really want cuddles but Gaz is like "too bad you're stuck with me >:) "

Who's big spoon/little spoon? Gaz is big spoon at night, but during the day when cuddling on the couch or something it's Soap

What's their favorite non-sexual activity? Museum dates. Gaz is such a little nerd and Soap loves art. Museum dates are perfect for them, cause it's something calm and beautiful, there's an opportunity for Gaz to get a new book or something, and for a desert afterwards.

Who comes home drunk at 3am? I wanna say Soap. He's just such a golden retriever that if a bunch of their friends are hanging out at bars, he's right there with them. Gaz is there, too, but he doesn't usually drink to drunkenness like Soap does.

Who kills the spiders? Gaz. It's not that Soap is afraid of them but he argues that it's best if he and the spider remain on opposite sides of the room. Gaz doesn't give a flying fuck

Who falls asleep first? Depends. If it's during a late-night movie in their flat, it's Soap. Gaz gets too invested in every movie they watch so he can never fall asleep first. But if it's right when they go to bed, it's usually Gaz cause Soap needs to do something like doodle/journal for a bit to calm his mind before he can.

A headcanon: Trying to decide if I want to keep this SFW or just go the nasty route... I'll keep it safe for now. They do pretty much everything together, especially on base. They just love each other's company so much and both thrive off social interaction so it's like a win-win. They'll workout together, they eat together, they go grocery shopping together. They're such an iconic duo it's hard to ignore the fact they're together. ALSO, I fully believe Soap is just whipped for Gaz's smile/laugh (aren't we all?) that he does everything in his power to see it/hear him laugh. Even if Gaz's 'laugh' is just a bunch of wheezing punctuated by laughing sounds, Soap still finds it so beautiful. Anything he can do to make Gaz smile/laugh was worth doing

Do they have any rituals? Gaz is the one with the most rituals, so to speak. He's got a whole skin care routine (that he dragged Soap into), he's got some pretty good oral hygiene. Soap has a whole morning ritual that is far too complicated for Gaz's understanding. It's about how he makes his coffee and it's one of the most bizarre things Gaz has ever witnessed.

Who has the most patience? Probably Gaz. Even though, in the field, they're both patient (they're both snipers and Soap is a demo man, both roles require a lot of physical patience), Soap is pretty short-tempered when it comes to most other things. Like, physically, he's patiently waiting for something, but when you listen to him talking to Gaz, it's just complaining about how bored/impatient he is. It takes a lot to get Gaz genuinely angry at something, which is not to say he's going from 0-100 in these instances. He's definitely showing he's annoyed at everything, but whether he actually acts on it or not is the determining factor of his patience.

A gif that describes their relationship: I actually really like this one. It's just *sighs* I don't know but it's SoapGaz in my heart

🧨 for a surprise

Little bit of Gaz and Ghost having the sillies and messing with Soap (I had one idea originally but it wasn't working out so here's a silly thing)

Soap huffed as he left Price's office, a bit angry with the way he had spent the better part of the last twenty minutes getting chewed out for a simple mistake. Granted, it was a mistake that could have made some serious damage, but no one was hurt and Soap didn't see a reason to be so upset over it. Yet Price was, and he didn't listen when Soap tried to argue otherwise. It was honestly infuriating, the way Price stood his ground and simply didn't budge despite the sergeant's pleading. He knew for a fact if Gaz or Ghost had been in the same situation, the chewing out would have been less severe and he probably would have caved to the other's pleading. Soap sat with another huff, and Gaz quirked a brow in questioning at the other's antics. "You good?" Was all Gaz asked, which somehow the question only made Soap angrier. "The fuck do you think? Just got my ass chewed out over something stupid." Soap grumbled, angrily crossing his arms over his chest and pouting. Ghost shook his head at him from across the room, and Gaz fought back a chuckle. "Maybe next time, don't be so stupid, mate." Gaz said as he nudged Soap in the ribs, only for the Scot to growl and push him away. "Easy for you to say! Neither of you would have been chewed out like that!" Soap snapped, getting up from the couch to pace. Ghost and Gaz exchanged glances, yet neither made any indication the statement wasn't true. Soap quickly caught on, and he stopped pacing long enough to stare in shock at the pair. "You're not even gonna deny it?!" He practically shouted, and Ghost nodded rather solemnly. "I think it's time we tell him." The lieutenant stated, and Gaz matched his solemn nod. Soap stood frozen in confusion as he looked between the two. "Unfortunately, Price has a condition that affects him in ways you wouldn't think possible." Gaz said as he leaned forward, a rather serious frown drawn on his face. Soap couldn't do much else other than look at him like he had lost his mind.

"It's true, Soap. He's got something known as Brown Eye Weakness." Ghost added, and Soap grumbled as he dropped into a chair.

"You're both full of shit." Soap muttered as he crossed his arms over his chest in a pout once again.

"It's true, mate. We've all got brown eyes. All except you." Soap just stared, unable to determine if the other two were being serious or not.

"Remember last week when you asked Price if we could have monthly movie night at his house? And he immediately said no and didn't elaborate?" Gaz asked and Soap nodded, vaguely recalling the incident.

"Do you remember how it wasn't until I asked that he explained Bailey had a school thing that night and he didn't want us in his house without him?" Ghost continued, and Soap remembered the way Price had pinched his eyes shut as Ghost pushed the request.

"That doesn't mean shit, though."

"What about every time you and I get in trouble? He's yelling at us and then all I have to do is say 'sorry Cap' and bat my eyes and suddenly we're being dismissed?" Gaz asked, head tilting as he leaned even closer to Soap. Soap frowned at him before shaking his head as a laugh bubbled in his chest.

Ghost and Gaz exchanged concerned glances as Soap's laugh grew, and the Scot eventually doubled over as loud cackles rang through the room.

"Aye, you two are off yer heids." Soap muttered before leaving the room, deciding to busy himself with other things rather than suffer this torment any longer. Ghost and Gaz looked at each other as he left, and the silence broke with a loud snort from Ghost as the two high-fived.

hi im very obsessed with lethal company rn and my friends and i play at least twice a week. your youtube au is bouncing around my brain like pong (1972 arcade game). if possible can you analyse their playing strategies? like one of my friends goes in and finds loot really quickly. another mans the monitor for monsters and doors and turrets/mines. i have a scaredy cat friend who likes chaos so he inverse teleports at the start and then screams until he finds his way back to the ship again. i myself am the logger (i go around scanning the monsters and finding the sigurd logs). ty :) sorry if im bothering you

Gaz starts out as the player to full charge in but he keeps dying to fall damage/falling off the map. He ends up spectating so much but it's okay, his friends are pure content machines.

Alex and Soap are like a power duo. Soap runs in head first while spamming scan. He finds the monsters, he finds the loot, but he's just running around. Alex is picking up all the loot and putting them at the door. He and Soap manage to escape like with 1hp every time. They get so much loot it's insane.

Ghost meanwhile is living like a chaos contract or some shit. He inverses in every time, runs around in the dark, maybe collects loot. He charges from the darkness every time he sees Soap cause it scares the Scot every time. He'll maniacally cackle as he runs back into the darkness.

Gaz loves spectacting Ghost the most because he's muttering to himself the entire time. He's just so funny.

There are so many clips of Soap screaming as Ghost scares him and Ghost running away laughing.

So I keep thinking about Bailey when she’s more comfortable with her new family. Jumping onto Nik’s and Price’s bed and shaking Price, trying to wake him up because he promised to do something with her.

And I keep picturing the Lion King dialogue.

Nik: Price, your daughter is awake.

Price: (being shaken) Before the sun rises she’s your daughter.

Bailey still shaking Price.

Yes!!! That's the cutest freaking thing

She definitely just full on launches herself onto them when she wants something but they're still in bed/asleep

Oooh! Could I get some fun facts about sharks?

Or maybe even some unusual cat/dog behavior?

As of 2021, there are officially 536 species of shark.

There is a species of shark called Dumb Gulper Shark

Dogs are actually more accurately described as ambiverts. They're not as dependent on being around other dogs or animals as cats are. Cats thrive when they're with other cats.

The biggest misunderstanding about dog body language is wagging their tail. Just because a dog is wagging their tail doesn't mean they're happy or excited. Wagging the tail is a form of energy release. Sometimes they wag their tail because of stress. It's important to know other signs of what the dog's body is saying to know if it's safe to approach. Often times wagging the tail doesn't even mean anything, just that they have energy to release. Almost like how a bored person will tap their foot or play with something little.

hc + 😡 for a headcanon about something that makes them angry 141

Price: someone discrediting his authority or trying to belittle him as a captain. Especially when they try to use his boys against him. Like saying Soap is chaotic and doesn't listen will cost him. That shit pisses him off like nothing else.

Ghost: tape that gets stuck to everything. He gets so irrationally angry about it and now I can't unsee it. But a more serious one is bullies. We all know he's gonna fuck someone up if they use their position of power/authority to abuse or manipulate someone else. No one likes bullies but he's getting the silent type of angry where he's seething and it's visible he's about to snap

Soap: improper use of weapons and tools. He just hates it. He watched a buddy back in training do something stupid and get someone else hurt. No more, you use it properly or you don't at all

Gaz: falling/tripping/hurting himself on accident. He gets so pissed off, but it's worse when someone points it out.

[snootlestheangel]

weird question but none of my friends are into cod so! i figured it couldn't hurt to ask you :> who out of everyone do you think would be the most willing to believe someone if they said they were trapped in a time loop?

I feel like Soap would definitely be the most willing

To make it angsty, it's cause he knows if he were stuck in a time loop, no one would believe him until he had already gone insane.

However, Soap, even if he's not taking it seriously, believes the person. He might joke and shit but he'll still do what he's asked to in order to help his friend.

Also, for some reason, I feel like Ghost would also believe the person. Like, he's really good at detecting lies and when people are genuinely freaked out by something, so if someone like Gaz came up to him and said "I'm stuck in a time loop, please help" he'd be like "okay bet, what do I gotta do?"

But Soap is definitely just believing them off the bat. No like side eyes or weird like "have you lost it" looks. While Ghost would believe you, he'd stand there with his arms crossed like "really? a time loop? and you think I'm dumb enough to fall for it?" until he gets good enough reasons to believe the person long enough to help them

The fic will be mostly the generic descriptions of action and scenery of an apocalypse story, but there will also be "reflection" sections where it focuses on a specific character (mostly Ghost) and their inner thoughts and feelings with the whole situation they're in. This is an example of what that'll look like.

Haunted.

It's how Sarah describes the feeling she gets from their group's newest edition. She feels haunted.

The man in question has yet to say a word to any of them, even despite the fact he broke up an argument waiting to turn into a fight. His mere presence was intimidating enough to Trent and his friends, as they had quickly quieted and allowed Sarah to speak her mind. She's still not sure if the skull mask was the reason the mystery man was able to silence those idiots, but it's what they are claiming. Personally, she thinks they were all a bit intimidated by the massive sniper rifle resting comfortably across the man's back. She believes the weapon indicated he had more hidden elsewhere on his person, and that it would be safest if he were left alone.

In all honesty, Sarah isn't scared of their new shadow. Sure, he's rather large in stature, and the full skull face accented by a dark hood is intimidating, but she just doesn't have any fear of this man. It could be that he had stepped in to allow Sarah to tell those daft bastards the right plan, or maybe that the others had finally stopped belittling her and her family all for being Scottish.

Or maybe it's because she watched her youngest daughter hand him a thistle she had picked, and the fact he took it gently and stowed it in the open pocket of his duffel.

Either way, Sarah MacTavish can say with complete confidence that this phantom is not a threat to her and her family.

In fact, she feels comforted at the same time as feeling haunted. Haunted because this enigmatic figure tends to stay several meters behind the main group. Haunted because he's often spotted just out of the corner of her eye, giving her a start until she remembers the unspoken peace treaty they have with this physical manifestation of Death itself.

But comforted because at least one person here has a weapon and seems competent. Comforted because he very easily could have killed anyone he wanted and taken advantage of the others. But he hadn't. In fact, he expressed a gentleness that Sarah knew to be a quickly dying trait in this world of ruin. She has started to take for granted their unconventional guardian, and has grown rather fond of his presence. She almost wonders if the man has found himself in a situation he didn't expect to be in, almost like he's in too deep. She wonders if he's committed to playing a role as a guardian all because of that first interaction, where he came to Sarah's defense and supported her plan to head north towards a potential safe place.

She finds herself making jokes with her husband Daniel about how their girls are probably driving him insane with all the little gifts, but he's too chivalrous to act anything other than grateful each time. She makes jokes with her sister-in-law Eleanor about the man's almost supernatural existence. She jokes with her older brother Oliver about how their group is so unlucky they're being haunted during an apocalypse.

Sarah becomes so comfortable with being haunted that she's rather humbled one night. Humbled when she realizes they aren't the ones that are haunted.

It's a rather disturbing feeling Sarah gets as she watches the phantom one night. He's staring into the fire, brown eyes dancing with the flames, yet they were empty, devoid of emotion.

Haunted.

What's most disturbing about that look is how familiar it feels. How close it is to the same look her youngest brother gets from time to time. The same look everyone would ignore until John became himself again.

The empty stare of a soldier.

Sarah knew from the moment they met this man that he had a career similar to that of her brother John, but she had never quite faced that reality until now. She decides to do something about it.

And maybe it's because that look reminds her so much of her baby brother. And maybe it's because her motherly instincts start taking over. Either way, she decides she's going to make their spectral companion take a nap.

"Why don't yeh get some rest? We'll be fine till morning." Sarah whispers after quietly making her way over to the fire. He blinks slowly before looking up at her, the blank aspect of his expression not disappearing but the stare no longer holding a distance to it. He's grounded now, that she can tell, but what is visible of his face gives no indication to what he might be thinking. Or feeling. If he does such a thing, Sarah finds herself thinking. The man's eyes dart around their makeshift camp as he thinks, and Sarah feels a bit frustrated by his lack of a response.

"We'll be fine, I promise. A wee rest isnae gonna hurt anythin'." This makes him look at her again, and this time she can gather a bit of emotion coming from those amber eyes. He nods in agreement before quietly getting up and moving towards the edge of the group, just in the darkest part and nearly disappearing into the shadows.

But Sarah is left confused. He had looked back to her with an almost mournful look, like he knew something she didn't.

She didn't dwell on it. She couldn't afford to.

Instead, she trusted him. Trusted that haunted feeling as she put out the fire, and bathed them all in darkness.

🪐 I’ve been thinking about them lately

When It Works Snippet

*GazAlex Undercover AU*

Which features Alex and Gaz having to pretend to be married, and also Gaz is a cocky little shit that's too smart for his own good.

When Alex received the assignment, he had made a promise to himself to keep professional during the course of the operation. The last thing he wanted was to allow things like emotions to complicate such a delicate mission, especially when already pretending to be married was outside of his realm of experience. Besides, he figured this would be rather easy to separate the character he pretends to be since he's working with someone he's never met before.

He was very wrong.

Alex actually wondered if this assignment was some sort of sick joke from Laswell and Price to either give him a heart attack or get him laid. Because, of course, that would be the only explanation as to why he was assigned to work with the most beautiful man he had ever met, and why he was struggling to maintain that sense of professionalism.

And it's not like Kyle was just effortlessly gorgeous, it was the fact he knew it. It was the fact Kyle Garrick carried himself with so much confidence, the way he was so intelligent and knew how to manipulate others without ever giving any hint of malice. To Alex, it was not just Gaz's good looks that made it difficult to keep personal feelings out of this assignment, but it was the way he committed to his role as Alex's newly beloved.

And for the first four days of the two week long cruise, Gaz and Alex had spent a lot of time discussing, in private, the boundaries of where the fake relationship ended and the real one began. They discussed the different theatrics they'd be willing to perform for the sake of keeping up the appearance of newly weds.

The theatrics proved hardest to establish. It was a combination of Gaz's understanding of needing to make their undercover story believable and Alex's refusal to be anything but professional. In the end, Alex ending up siding with Gaz, and agreed to displaying some PDA here and there in an effort to keep up appearances. And Gaz, ever the kind soul he is, told Alex if he was ever going to far for Alex's comfort, then he could simply say a codeword and Gaz would stop.

Alex thought he could live with the arrangements they had made and still maintain a professional relationship with the sergeant in private.

But on the fifth day of the cruise and their assignment, keeping professional proved rather difficult.

The two were by the large pool on deck, watching their targets of interest at a distance. Gaz was behind him on the pool chair, legs on either side of Alex and effectively trapping him as he rubbed sunscreen on his back. Alex couldn't quite determine if it was the bright sun bearing down on him or how close Gaz was and how his hands felt trailing along his back that made him so light-headed. And he really didn't feel pressured to figure out which one it was, given he may ruin the professional aspect of their relationship by admitting such a thing.

Alex tensed as Gaz's arms suddenly wrapped around his middle, and the light brush of lips against his shoulder sent a chill down his spine.

"Looks like they're waiting on someone to join them before they do anything else." Gaz whispered against Alex's ear, and it took more effort than he would be willing to admit to process what Gaz had said. He nodded, swallowing thickly as he tried to focus on the group of people he should have been watching the entire time. Kyle lets out a soft chuckle before lightly kissing Alex's shoulder.

"Having trouble focusing?" Kyle muttered against his neck, but Alex didn't respond. Another chuckle from Gaz, and his arms wrapped tighter around Alex's middle, a few light kisses to his neck accompanying the act.

"Come on, let's get in the water and cool off a bit. We've just put sunblock on you and you're already turning red." Kyle commented before slowly getting up from the chair, stretching as does so. Alex blushed deeper, mentally cursing himself and Gaz as he stood up himself. Gaz allowed himself to be used as a crutch, slowly walking both of them towards the water's edge. Alex took a deep breath as he tried to regain his composure, hoping the shock of the cool water will help get rid of whatever just happened.

How is he expected to stay professional in these conditions?

I’m on break so I’m throwing this in your inbox really quickly!

I live a good zombie apocalypse au. Can never go wrong with those.

That title! Holy shit that’s such a cool title! Death Doesn’t Want Me! You always have such fun titles!

I love the idea of scary ass Ghost being the only military in this group of civilians. As if he needed more of a reason to stand out.

Then you add in that a lot of the group is Soap’s family! Aaaaaahhhhh! I fucking love that!

The angst! Ghost seeing Soap in different aspects of his family. And the kids! Him wondering if the others are okay. If Soap is doing alright.

The assholes disagreeing with Ghost and Soap’s siblings + partners instantly backing him up. Not just because Ghost is their best shot at staying alive. But also because he’s their Johnny’s friend. That makes him practically family!

Can you imagine one of the kids starts imitating Ghost?! And the kid has a Mohawk because they used to imitate Soap!

I really do love the title. "Death Doesn't Want Me" is such a badass title for a Zombie Apocalypse story

Oh god the mental image of a tiny MacTavish child imitating Ghost stop please

The actual siblings of Soap's that are in this group are his oldest siblings (his brother and one of his sisters.)

Oliver was an ER doctor and his wife, Eleanor, was head nurse. They have 4 kids: the eldest a 17 year old boy, then a 12 year old girl, and twin 8 year old boys.

Sarah and her husband have 2 kids: a 13 year old girl, and a 7 year old girl.

But here's my thought process for this story

Ghost doesn't want to group up with people now that the world is ending.

He's lost too many people, he doesn't want to get attached to anyone else.

Death doesn't want him, it seems like. Death has always skipped him over and taken those around him.

But Ghost who sees a group of civilians gathered around a bus with a smoking engine, clearly not able to work anymore. He can tell they're arguing, and at first he just wants to slip on by undetected.

But then he hears the sound of a Scottish woman asking if they could just stop arguing for one second and listen. He hears a British man telling her to shut up, definitely poking at her accent at the same time.

And then Ghost sees the kids. Mostly early teens/preteens but a couple younger ones as well.

And suddenly Ghost just can't walk by. Suddenly he's stepping in between two men as a fight almost breaks out. His presence alone is enough to force everyone into silence.

The Scottish woman takes the opportunity to speak her piece. Which is that heading in the direction the British guy wants to is dangerous and stupid. That there's a place in the opposite direction that hopefully still stands where they'll be safe. Where their children will be safe.

And if Ghost death glares the assholes into agreeing, then that's between them: he had his back to the MacTavish family for that.

And so he kind of lingers behind the group as they slowly make their way on foot. He still has all his military gear, his sniper rifle resting along his back for the most part. Everyone knows he's not to be trifled with, especially knowing he's the only one with a gun.

He obviously pieces it together: the Scottish family in the group is Soap's family, and it's part of the only reason he sticks around long after the assholes either go their separate way or die off to the undead hordes.

But Ghost just "haunts" the group. Never speaks (can't say force himself to find the words), just communicates in grunts and nods (can't look too long or else he'll get attached), and just does his job as their self appointed body guard.

He loves the way they share stories at night, whispered quietly. He loves hearing the way they talk about what they'll do when reunited with the rest of their family. When they're reunited with Johnny. He can't bring himself to get any closer though. He just can't lose them, if not for his sake but for Johnny's.

He hears them when they whisper quiet hopes of seeing everyone alive. And his heart breaks just a bit when Soap's big sister (Sarah) quietly tells her husband how she wishes Johnny's Simon is okay too, and that wherever they are, they're together.

It's the first time Ghost realizes Soap talks about him to his family. That despite having never once brought up the topic of meeting his family, John MacTavish still spoke so highly of him that he's practically already a part of the MacTavish family.

Sarah who has always been the closest to Soap. Sarah has always been his safe place to talk about his feelings and to go to when he's not feeling well. Sarah who wants so badly for her baby brother to experience what it's like to be happy with a partner. She worries so much about him.

All the meanwhile, Soap, Gaz, and Price are scouring the country trying to find Ghost and the rest of Soap's family. Soap is desperately trying not to lose hope every night they come up empty handed.

I have this image in my head of one moment where they encounter some bandits or some shit. Ghost indicates that he'll talk to them, which leaves everyone confused.

Next thing they know, they're running as a fight between Ghost and the bandits breaks out.

It's almost an hour later when Ghost finally makes it back to them. But there's clearly something wrong.

He stumbles in and says "I got stabbed" before sitting in a chair and showing the rather large knife sticking out of his side. Oliver thought he had seen it all, being an ER doctor, but this takes the cake. Ghost just has an incredible pain tolerance and he's just eerily calm about the whole thing.

Obviously this is when the mask gets taken off and against his own wishes, he gets closer to the family. Eventually it's revealed to them he's Johnny's Simon and blah blah blah

Obviously a happy reunion with Soap

Also this is what I imagine Ghost looks like in this

A new WIP!

I’d love to hear about To A Fault if you feel like giving a little hint!

Well it's the official title for the Gaz angst fic that I teased here

In other words, this:

Gaz laughs, a strangled sob catching in his throat as he places his hands on either side of Soap's head.

"I could never be mad at you, mate." Gaz squeezes slightly, and Soap shudders slightly at the madness so evident in Gaz's eyes.

"You've done nothing wrong, after all."

Hi

If I had a nickel for every time I came across a random au on my feed and got immediately hooked I’d have so many two nickels which isn’t a lot it is but it’s weird that it happens so often on tumblr right?

Please I actually stumbled on these recently and I am hooked i think they look awesome!

🐺 & 🌲

Idk why it took so long to answer this, I think I straight up forgot it was here.

For wolfshifter Ghost au:

Most wolfshifters are known for their talkative nature. Wolves like to make all sorts of sounds, even little ones.

But Ghost is just a quiet wolf. He hardly makes a sound. He's a fan of rolling his eyes and huffing. Very sassy for a wolf.

For cryptid hunter au/cryptid Ghost:

Forest Guardians have an infancy phase and a young adult phase.

So now I'm picturing a cryptid Ghost the size of a full grown buck but he's a baby guardian. He's got the white spots on his flank and he's got no survival skills.

Not all Forest Guardians have the ability to form a human appearance and stuff like Ghost can. The way this happens is if a person dies in the forest and the guardian chooses to "bury" them.

Simon Riley was a very real person, who lived nearly a century ago, and sought peace in Ghost's forest due to his miserable life. He ends up going to the forest when he's dying from a wound. Ghost, the guardian, lies with him as he dies, and then buries Riley's body.

This forms what is known as the center or heart of the forest. If a forest has a Guardian, there's usually a large mound that seems to beat. If the guardian has buried someone, this is where the body will be.
