Summary
The man had turned away without any apparent concern that a heavily-armed SAS soldier was at his back, and Ghost intended to express his opinion on this man's actions, but his tongue and lips did not move. His legs did. Ghost breathed angrily, and followed the man down the stairs, never looking back. Not one look back at Soap.

Summary
Napoleon held out his arm for the woman to take. "Anything for a lady," he said, as she looped her hand in. He glanced across her, as casually as possible, and Illya followed by putting his arm out just a beat later, and the woman took his arm as well. It was a little harder than usual to read Illya's expression with the white makeup all over his face.

Summary
Soap is a PhD student, doing his research in Antarctica on the behaviors and hunting habits of leopard seals. During his expedition, he becomes obsessed with a leucistic seal, who he's taken to calling Ghost.
His attempts at tagging Ghost for tracking purposes have all failed, leaving Soap frustrated, but determined to try again. He won't stop until he gets the data he needs for his dissertation.
At the same time, Soap is stuck in an escalating, heated flirting match with a hydroponics employee at another base. It's foolish to form romantic relationships with someone he knows will vanish from his life once their expeditions are over, but there's something fascinating about this man that he can't ignore.

Summary
An alternate first meeting, where Ghost and Soap meet each other in the field under infinitely worse circumstances than either of them would have liked:
Ghost wakes up in a pit under a building with a bomb attached to him, certain he's going to die. Soap, an EOD tech amongst his other specialties, is the only person available to at least try to save him. It should be fraught, and tense, and miserable all around, and it is; a whole lot of Ghost slowly losing his mind while Soap does everything he can to save his life. But it would probably be easier if Ghost wasn't a stress-flirter, and if Soap wasn't the kind of endlessly competent that he loved, and if, by virtue of their situation, they didn't keep ripping open each other's wounds and then patching each other back up again after.

Summary
Ghost doesn’t have anything against hybrids. He rarely ever thinks of ‘em in all honesty. They’re not allowed to enlist, and at a young age he chose to make the military his quasi-home.
He’s also not exactly out here championing for their equality either. Merely because Ghost isn’t in the business to know shit about anything that doesn’t pertain to himself these days.
Everything changes when he's walking home one night, and he finds an exhausted, sleeping hybrid curled against his front door.

Summary
Ghost is being haunted.
It’s downright ironic really. A cosmic joke if he’s ever heard one. Evidence that whoever is running the whole thing has a sense of humor. He’d be pissed if he didn’t also have a pretty damn good idea of who is haunting him.
OR
Ghost loses Soap down in a tunnel under London. Grief stricken and heartbroken, he decides that he'll hunt down Makarov before following his sergeant. Along the way, strange incidents that he cannot explain begin to rack up. What's dead is not always gone.
