    Summary

    There was only so much you could do to a dead man, you see, before he became more of a liability than an advantage. In theory, the idea of not killing Ghost— of keeping him alive, taking him back to the base and torturing all the information they could get out of him was a good one. However, in practice, the issue became more complicated.

    Or— Ghost is sent home to recover after being victim to cartel torture, and then Soap shows up.

    Summary

    Simon's voice came out rough and inaudible before he cleared his throat and tried again.

    " It's been causing problems....between me and John."

    " What kind of problems?"

    " I... I messed up."

    ...
    or Simon tries to get better.

    Summary

    John MacTavish’s fingers tightened around the pommel of his sparth axe. “This is madness, Anndra. Couldn’t ye buy the man a barrel of ale instead of selling yer brother like a cattle head?”

     

    The year is 1289. Ghost, a sword for hire, saves the life of a Scottish tradesman, Andrew MacTavish, and almost gets a spouse out of it. It probably would have went fine, weren't it for the fact that he and his Scottish near-betrothed are supposed to escort the same merchant from London to Exeter.

    Summary

    "What got two legs 'n' bleeds?" he asks the dog while he thinks about what to do. He takes a drag.

    The dog stands, shakes out its fur. Simon can appreciate its size for the first time, now - and yeah. That's in fact a big ass dog. It's got sort of tawny-red-brown patchy fur - maybe gray too, in better lighting. Small-ish, triangular ears; expressive eyes. It yawns.

    "Yah, you wouldn', tha's fair," Simon concedes, waving his cigarette in its direction. "You fuckin' off, now? Or gettin' a little snack?" gesturing at himself.

    OR

    Simon Riley fled to the United States after his discharge from the military. A shadow of his former self, he works as a line cook in a small town; surviving, because that's all he's good for, now.
    After he's bitten by a strange dog his life is turned on it's head.
