Summary
It’s dark, and Ilya’s not quite sure where he is.
His entire body is numb. His shoes are soaking wet from trudging lazily through the snow. His nose is running, and his lips are chapped.
Selfishly, he wishes Shane would fuss over him now. Pull him close, whisper “I forgive you” even though he shouldn’t, because Ilya would never change, because something inside him- in his family line, in his soul- was broken.
Ilya wondered how long ago it had clicked- when Shane had realized that Ilya wormed his way into this country and tricked the Hollanders into caring for him, then returned the favor by botching their language and leaving a trail of mess in his wake. He still can't help but wonder if that will be part of his punishment- being doomed to miss him in death, too.
or: Ilya’s mostly been able to cope with the fact that he’ll never be able to articulate himself fully in this country- but he’s also never been good at talking about feelings in the first place.
"I'm tired" is the best he's got. It definitely doesn't capture what's going on in his head, and Shane can't read minds.

Summary
Soap's favourite band comes to town and who better to take him than Ghost, who hates loud noises, crowds and physical contact, but loves Johnny's smile. Not that he'd ever tell him that.

Summary
In a world narrowed to quarantine lines and evacuation quotas, Lieutenant Ghost decides who lives and who dies.
John MacTavish survives the first inspection by luck. He survives the second by usefulness.
After that, he stays by choice.
As trust turns to influence and influence turns to something softer, the man at the front of the line realises he isn’t making decisions alone anymore — and maybe he doesn’t want to.

Summary
“Christ,” Soap muttered. “Feels like a bloody shoebox.”
Ghost’s shoulders moved in what might’ve been a shrug. “Better than a tent.”
“Aye, well when you put it like that,” Soap conceded with an eye roll. He dumped his gear by the other bed and sat down, the springs creaking loud in the confined space. “Thought they’d at least separate us by rank.”
“They’re short on rooms.” Ghost’s voice was flat, matter-of-fact. “We’ll manage.”
Soap nodded, but the unease lingered. They were used to having space, each with their own private corner of the barracks. Sleeping near Ghost wasn’t new, but that had always been under fire, adrenaline running hot enough to drown out any stray thoughts.
