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
Ghost and Soap take their time moving too fast, and Ghost learns to accept what he already knows. Fifteen thousand words of domestic porn.
(Part Two of the Familiar series, which starts with Familiar as a Bottle and a Glass)
Ghost was helpless against his own smile. His hands itched to grab at Soap, itched to pull him in, he wanted to bury his face in the crook of Soap’s neck and breathe in all the deep, sleep-warm scents of him, wanted to throw him up against the wall, wanted to rip him apart from the inside out, find a place in his body and make a home there, break him into a million pieces and patch him back together using himself as the glue.

Summary
It's Soap’s fault, really. He’d set off the alarms and fucked it up, and it made the mission a million times more difficult than it should be. It had been an in-and-out mission, no engagement with hostilities supposedly.
Yet here they are, Soap bleeding out while running away, and Ghost ahead of him muttering curses under his breath. There’s a promise of a very long debriefing after this. Soap knows both from first and third hand experience.
Soap knows that he’s fucked, either way, whether or not there is an after in this.
“This feels familiar.” Soap comments,
“Las Almas.” Ghost says, and Soap could only hum to show his amusement.
And oh boy, if only Ghost knows just how similar Las Almas is to his current predicament.
.
OR soap gets injured and thinks that hiding said injury is a good idea.

Summary
Soap could think of a thousand different ways he'd rather be spending the Christmas season—hunting down Makarov being at the top of that list. Somehow Ghost makes it all a bit (a lot) more bearable.

Summary
“You were going to spend Christmas with your mum.” It was a statement, not a question.
“Aye,” Soap answered honestly. He didn’t look away from the TV. They sat there, feet apart.
“I’m sorry you’re stuck here with me,” said Ghost.
Soap, mouth falling open at the apology, turned to Ghost to say something. Anything. It’s alright. You should be. I don’t mind it, if it’s you.
None of this actually made it out and Ghost beat him to the punch. “What the fuck movie is this, MacTavish?”
Soap turned in time to see Tom Hanks appear. But it wasn’t quite Tom Hanks, something was wrong with his-
Oh. Soap laughed. “This is Polar Express! It’s my sister’s favorite.”“What’s wrong with him?”
“It’s a cartoon.” Soap yawned and thought about what he’d just said. “But…not really.”
“I hate it.”
“Like me to change it, sir?”
“...No.”
--------
Soap's been shipped out to a safehouse in the Canadian Wilderness alone, except then Ghost shows up, but maybe Soap wasn't supposed to be shipped out in the first place? And Soap's been running on zero sleep and pure angst since they left Chicago. 'Tis the season.
