Summary
In the two years after the events that brought the world to the brink, Task Force 141 gets to catch a breath. Laswell keeps the unit formally on CIA payroll, but with fewer major threats in the world the boys spend most of their time in standby mode. It seems keeping idle does nothing good to their minds, so Kate has them see psychologists - to very little positive effect. The latest shrink in the line-up, however, is a fan of unconventional solutions for unconventional people.
Let us explore very broken people roleplay even worse broken people in a game of paranoia, violence, loss, brutality, exploitation, and hope. What do you know, maybe there is healing in there somewhere.

Summary
In theory, it’s an easy plan of action: Soap heals with Ghost by his side and life goes back to the way it was before. Effortless and efficient, just like how they’ve always handled tough missions.
But with a newly broken brain, pent-up feelings, and a possible medical discharge looming on the horizon, everything is often easier said than done.

Summary
“Steamin’ bloody Jesus,” Soap breathes. “How often does he do this?”
Gaz turns, then, and meets his eye. “Us, and Price… We’re the only ones who’d live to talk about it,” he says. “It’s a last resort.” He reaches out, then, and puts his hand on Soap’s arm. “Being his handler means being the one to call the shots, Soap. We’re the only bloody things he cares about. Everything else is fodder. If you ever have to make this call, you better be damn sure you don’t care about survivors, because there won’t be any.”
Price had been so eager to give the order. Imagine holding the nuke in your hands, knowing that you’ll be the only thing to survive its detonation. Imagine being Noah, but with the power to call the Flood whenever he wished.
Soap shivers, something not altogether kind or good curling around his brainstem at the notion.
Whether Gaz clocks it or not, he can’t say, but he eventually murmurs, “You’ll need a psych eval after this. We all get one after Ghost smokes out. Even him.”
Soap frowns. “Why?”
Gaz shrugs. “You’ll have to ask him. Personally, I think we all like it a bit too much.”
Soap blushes, and doesn’t have the words for why.

Summary
Ghost is motionless, staring down at John's outstretched hand like he's trying to recall on which page of How to Behave Like a Real Human in Polite Society he’s previously seen the gesture.
Before things can get awkward, John turns the aborted handshake into a jovial, manly sort of punch to Ghost’s shoulder. It's rather like how he imagines it would be to hit an adult moose, both in the physical sensation and in the frisson of anticipated danger it elicits. Gamely, he says, “Truck’s just about set, sir. Glad to be working with you.”
Ghost’s eyes flick up to John’s face, and then higher, to his hair. He frowns.

Summary
In the aftermath of Makarov’s attack, a forcibly retired Soap is left alone and bored in the Scottish Highlands with nothing to do but secretly paint portraits of the man he misses the most.
When an idle wish brings one of his paintings to life, Soap does very little to discourage this miraculous new clone of his former Lieutenant from sneaking into his bed. It’s not like anyone - let alone Ghost - will ever find out, after all.
He should’ve known a copy of Ghost would be just as persistent and cunning as the real man himself.

Summary
This - the act of seeing the abyss together with a person whom one is holding tightly to oneself - is this earth’s only consolation.

Bookmarker's Notes
Beautiful slow burn with an undertone of derealisation, not explicit in the early chapters. Yum.
