Summary
It started, as most things in the 141 did, with a good natured ribbing and a bet.
“Oh come on mate, come off it, there’s no way the story behind your callsign is classified!” Gaz half shouts. He’s not quite drunk yet, but he is tipsy enough that his control on his volume has become tenuous.
Soap only grins and shrugs. “What can Ah say?”
Alejandro and Rudy groan in frustration. Even Ghost is drawn into the proceedings. “Do you know?” he rumbles at Price.
Their Captain shakes his head. “No, the muppet won’t tell me either.”
OR
No one in the 141 knows how Soap got the name Soap, but they are determined to find out. AKA. How many stories can I make up about Soap's callsign?

Summary
“Don’t do your stupid lonesome shite,” Soap said disapprovingly. When Ghost went to protest, he rolled his eyes. “I want to go with you.”
When Ghost didn’t immediately respond, he faltered slightly. “If you’ll have me, that is,” he added in a smaller voice.
“‘Course I’ll have you,” Ghost said, instinctively refuting the idea that he might not want Soap around before realizing what, exactly, he’d just agreed to. He couldn’t bring himself to regret it, though, not with the blinding smile Soap gave him.
or,
Injury leave gives them the time to finally figure their shit out in an oddly domestic, mentally unwell way. A fic about loving someone to the point of trying to be better.

Summary
He was used to pretending he was fine even when he wasn't — especially when he wasn't. And Soap used to think that that was just the way things would always be, because he never could figure out how to change.
And then he joined the 141, and for the first time ever, he realized that he'd found somewhere he belonged. Somewhere he felt at home. Somewhere that he didn't have to try to stifle himself, somewhere that people laughed at his jokes and paid attention to him long after most others would've tuned out of his distracted rambling.
(Or, Soap gets told to shut up and has a very bad time.)

Summary
Something was wrong.
The rest of the team felt it in pieces—Price mentioned once that Soap had been quieter after Chicago. Gaz thought Tav had been sleeping less. Laswell noted his reports had become shorter.
But Ghost sees the whole picture. Soap is still smiling. Still cracking jokes. Still volunteering for the worst assignments. Still the first man through a door. Still the one who stays up with Gaz after a rough mission. Still the one who brings Price coffee before briefings. Still the one who patches everyone up, talks everyone down, keeps morale high.
Soap takes care of everyone… everyone except himself.

Summary
Soap’s heart clenched painfully another time.
He had hoped that it could become more, just like he had hoped that the 141 could become more, but he was fucking stupid.
He was a soldier, easily exchangeable for the team, and he was, if anything, a friend with benefits, for Ghost. Easily exchangeable as well.
“Price’s wounded, Johnny. Gaz’s right, just keep your mouth for one fucking mission.”A version of the "They tell Soap to shut up and he does at the wrong time"-trope.
