Summary
"What's your name?" Kakashi asks again, quieter this time. He lets his question hang, lets her look at him with his mask pulled down and his face void of any sort of facade. She's five, for goodness' sake, Kakashi thinks. She deserves honesty at the very least.
"Katana," the child says after an eternity of silence. "My name is Katana."
In which there is a child, with grey eyes and her mother's smile and like most stories, sometimes a child is all it takes.

Summary
When Ghost speaks, his voice is a low, steady thing. “Late night, MacTavish?”
Soap averts his gaze. If Ghost noticed his watery eyes or the way his hands are still trembling, he says nothing about it. “Aye,” Soap forces out, voice rough to mask just how close he was to a full breakdown the second before Ghost appeared. Shame burns like poison down his throat. “Could say the same about you, Lt.”
“It’s the witching hour, Johnny,” Ghost says, as if that makes sense. “Gotta be up like a good, proper ghost.”
It’s a shitty joke.
Soap laughs anyway, pathetic and weak. “Terrible.”

Summary
So, this is how it is now. Drift has decided that Ratchet is somehow worth keeping around in his inner bubble, worth spending time with and sharing laughter with, and worth all the fond looks and gentle physical affection that Drift apparently likes to give to people he’s close to.
An insanely gorgeous speedster with a spark of gold and a brilliant smile has decided he’s worth the attention and now Ratchet just has to deal with it. Fragging A.
(or, 5 times Drift kisses Ratchet and the one time Ratchet kisses back)

Summary
Oh, Drift thinks, sleep-soft and hazy with the slow stir of building arousal. A smile tugs on his lips even with his optics still closed. He nuzzles into the hug, burrowing his helm under the curve of a jaw and reveling in the contented sigh that it gets him. It’s been a while since they’ve had a slow morning together, and comfort like this is rare.
It’s nice.
More than nice, if Ratchet’s affectionate mood is anything to go by. Drift soaks it all up greedily.
or, Drift and Ratchet enjoy a free morning in bed.

Summary
They make it to the villa in however long Bronco’s decided to make it. A smooth stop before he kills the engine and gives her a dry, “Honey, we’re home.”
You need to get tougher, she thinks. You’re not fucking Bambi. Bronco opens the door for her and she stays seated, trembling, eyes forward. She needs to move. She can’t.
“Oh, one of those, eh?”
He shuts the door and climbs in from the other side. Exactly two people are allowed to see her like this.
OR: Rachel's would-be killers lose their fucking teeth. Safely at the villa, she needs a minute to steady herself.

Summary
There is a terrible, beautiful stillness to Gai now, a stillness Kakashi has only ever seen in shinobi determined to die. He could say something. He has said many things to many men standing on the threshold: orders, lies, prayers. None of them have ever mattered. This is not a choice he can pull back from the edge with a word. It is a choice Gai has been walking toward for a long time, as naturally as breathing.
