    Summary

    The devices in his ears were the best the military could get him—expensive, discreet, smart. They helped in crowded shops and city streets. Let him catch parts of sentences if the person stood close and spoke clearly. High-frequency filters, speech enhancement, all of it.

    But it was like trying to listen to a symphony through a cracked radio. Tinny. Fuzzy. Off.

    And when it was quiet like this—no traffic, no orders, no gunfire to cut through—it felt worse.

    He could see your voice. Your lips forming his name.

    He wanted to hear it.

     

    Christ, he wanted to hear it.

     

    Or:

    Simon gets medically discharged -and despite himself he helps an old lady cross the street. Leading him all the way home to her niece-you.

    Summary

    Your position in Shadow company made you the perfect candidate to go undercover in the Bolshoi Russian ballet, a supposed cover for an arms dealing hub and meeting spot for ultranationalist.
    It was simple enough. Look pretty on stage, talk sweet off stage, overhear details of weapons trades, give the intel to Laswell, stop the bad guys. Easy Peasy.

    After years of posing as a young ballerina hoping to become principle in Amsterdam’s Opera House, two members of an elite task force are sent to bring you back home in one piece. However, when TF-141 member, Ghost see's you, he isn't sure Laswell sent him the correct coordinates.

    ______

    “The fucking Opera house, MacTavish? Fancy yourself a bit of ballet? Or has a local tickled your fancy and distracted you from your job?” The lieutenant seethed lowly, almost ready to call the Captain to take his subordinate off the op. His nights cooped up really made him agitated.

    Summary

    "You're not alone," Simon mutters carefully. "It takes a lot of bad shit to end up this… untouchable, I guess. Usually the toughest blokes in the room know the most 'bout what it's like being at rock bottom. You're not any less of a soldier because of what you've gone through, Sergeant, because you get back up every time."

    He meets your gaze again.

    "You're not allowed to let 'em win, alright?" He says. "You're not allowed to die."

    ***

    Abandoned in a battlefield with the one person you thought you would never see again; you're forced to come to terms with the ghosts of your past.
