    Summary

    Every brush with Johnny kept Ghost coming back for more. He was an addict hunting for his next hit. Sometimes it was a pat on the shoulder to signal they were on the move, a fist bump after a good mission. A brush of hands passing a cup of tea across the counter. Nothing that should linger but somehow Johnny stuck to him like a burr.

    Ghost finds himself warming to Soap, unable to stop himself from falling a little more everyday. What do you do when you find something that feels more important than the job you've shaped your life around?

    Summary

    After a mission gone wrong leaves Simon “Ghost” Riley deaf in one ear and Johnny “Soap” MacTavish with a permanent leg injury, both men are forced into early retirement. Soap uses his pension to buy a crumbling house on the edge of a quiet town, determined to make something of it, even if the place looks like it should’ve come with a tetanus shot.

    Ghost shows up with a duffel bag and his usual scowl, moving into the guest room to help with renovations. Between faulty wiring, leaking pipes, and a fridge that seems to growl at two a.m., the two of them fall into a new rhythm of grocery runs, hardware store trips, and late-night fixes. The banter is sharp, the silences softer than either expected, and somewhere between the broken walls and peeling paint, they begin to rebuild more than just the house.

    It’s a story about finding purpose when the battlefield is gone, about healing old wounds in the comfort of shared domestic chaos, and about realizing that sometimes “home” isn’t a place, it’s each other.
