Summary
Ghost is motionless, staring down at John's outstretched hand like he's trying to recall on which page of How to Behave Like a Real Human in Polite Society he’s previously seen the gesture.
Before things can get awkward, John turns the aborted handshake into a jovial, manly sort of punch to Ghost’s shoulder. It's rather like how he imagines it would be to hit an adult moose, both in the physical sensation and in the frisson of anticipated danger it elicits. Gamely, he says, “Truck’s just about set, sir. Glad to be working with you.”
Ghost’s eyes flick up to John’s face, and then higher, to his hair. He frowns.

Summary
“How many people do I have to kill, Johnny?” he asks, begs without begging. Soap’s lips twitch, like the whole damn thing’s funny. It’s hysterical, it really is, in that manic and insane kind of way. That Ghost can sneak to his room in the dead of night and feed him the flesh of something that mere hours ago laughed and drank and joked with their friends, and still be afraid to do more than put his hands on Soap’s throat. “How many until you let me have you?”
Soap blinks up at him, radiant in the low light. Half-shadow and half-man, he’s everything Ghost would have died for when he had the chance. Now he has no choice but to live for it.

Summary
Soap makes a choked off noise of pure, unadulterated panic, and then he’s floating, drifting far away as his ears ring from the sound of multiple bombs going off.
When he comes to, he only gets to be happy that he’s somehow still alive for a moment, because everything hits him all at once. Pain explodes from every single part of him he can feel, and he wants to scream. He doesn’t, instead trying to take a deep breath to ground himself, but there’s rubble on top of him that’s unyielding, restricting his every breath.
His breath catches in his throat; focus, MacTavish. Assess your situation before you start panicking.
or, Soap gets trapped under the rubble of a collapsed building, and makes the (stupid) executive decision to omit that piece of information to the rest of 141. No one is happy about this when they find out.

Summary
It's been fifty four days since Ghost shut down, cold and silent as he stormed out of his quarters. Soap fucked up, plain and simple. He said something he shouldn’t have, didn’t give any thought to how it could be taken, and he knew it the moment it left his lips. Some nights he wants to barge inside Ghost’s room and beg him to just end it all, to smother Soap's misery gone. Soap can’t recall how he went through life before Ghost, but he can’t go on after him.
There is no after Simon Riley.

Summary
‘His black nose flares a few times in quick succession inhaling Simon’s scent. His ears immediately fold back, head lowering below the height of his shoulders, eyes never leaving Simon’s gaze as he flashes his teeth again: a blatant display of a challenge.
Simon lowers his chin, furrows his eye brows, flashes his own teeth in a cheeky grin. So that’s how it’s going to be with this one.’
Being the head of the V.L.D., a military division made for saving and rehabilitating wolf hybrids for military use as well as a second chance at life, Simon comes across the largest and most dangerous hybrid he’s encountered.

Summary
Humans, through their vile curses and pogroms on Witcher settlements, drove the only ones who would help them run monsters away from their kingdoms back to their keeps. One of the elder Witchers, Vesemir, called together Witchers of any School to join him in Kaer Morhen. Wolves and Cats and Griffins and Vipers could shelter in the crumbling walls of Kaer Morhen while the Continent beyond the mountain slowly fell apart.
Desperate to get Witchers back into their kingdoms to rid themselves of monsters, an offer is made; kings and queens of the Continent will let Witchers return to their kingdoms and walk through them with free passage, if the Witchers of Kaer Morhen are given an assurance that no harm will come to them while they're outside the reach of the mountain.
Their assurance comes in the form of a prince offered up in marriage to the White Wolf, appointed King of the Witchers.

Summary
It’s during an upbeat evening on his second night with a rowdy crowd that the unexpected happens. The door to the tavern bangs open, hitting the wall with a crack, and in staggers a sopping wet figure with two sword hilts poking over his shoulder and the head of a royal wyvern clutched in his fist.
“Killed your dragon,” the figure rasps, and if his silhouette in the doorway wasn’t enough to give him away, Jaskier would recognize that rough voice anywhere.
----
Five times Jaskier observed a certain Witcher's senses in action, and one time his own were indulged.

Summary
Moving to a new town is one thing. Moving to a new town, becoming best friends with his neighbor and falling head over heels for her dad is something entirely different.
In his second year of college, Jaskier struggles with his undying crush on Geralt, Ciri's dad. It also doesn't help that the man's job involves him looking like an absolute wet dream come true, emerging from beneath a car, muscles flexing, slick with sweat and grease.
He's really fucked.

“Where are you going?” Geralt shouts over the storm. Jaskier doesn’t turn back, doesn’t answer him. Just keeps moving. “Jaskier, get back inside—”
“I’m leaving,” Jaskier calls over his shoulder.
“You can’t survive the Killer in—”
“Why do you even care?” Jaskier demands, finally whirling on Geralt. “You told me what you thought of me already. I should’ve listened the first time. You— All you do is—” His jaw works for a frustrated second before he shouts, wordless, digging the heels of his hands into his eyes again. “I can’t even fucking yell at you right!"

Summary
custodial definition: relating to or having parental responsibility, especially as allocated as part of a divorce.
“I can take her,” Geralt says, and it’s all Jaskier can do not to slap him across the face.
“You don’t know her,” he says at once. “You don’t know her, and she doesn’t know you. I’m not letting her go with a stranger.” He meets the witcher’s gaze directly and dares him to persist.
Wisely, Geralt doesn’t.
(Ciri finds Jaskier first and Geralt only comes along later)
(Jaskier is not handling co-parenting well)

Summary
Soap is frustrated with Ghost's ability to stay cool and collected during sex. Ghost ought to be lost in his sauce by now and he's not even slightly turned around; it's like he's got a map or a GPS or a fucking compass. Johnny has tried everything he can think of to throw Ghost off course and make him scream with no luck.
Until he discovers Ghost's latent praise kink, followed by the knowledge that Ghost has never bottomed before, despite his apparent interest in it.
Well, Soap can certainly do something about all of that. And he fully intends to.

“Left you a gift, Johnny,” Ghost answers.
“Aye?” Soap says and Ghost can about hear his grin. “I’m quakin’ in excitement, Lt.”
Soap leaves his mic on and Ghost can hear the creaking of the door open and the soft rustle of Soap's tac gear as he walks over to the body.
A sharp intake of breath and then a low whistle.
“Careful, Lt,” Soap rumbles, accent noticeably thicker, “bloody gifts like these, might think yer courtin’ me proper. The old way at least.”
And that's how it starts.

Summary
The Ghost owned few things, but all of them were equally meaningful. His personal knife collection, his mask, and his reputation. Coveted, every one of them, and Ghost would find himself growling like an abused, feral dog if someone got too close for comfort.
Truthfully, he was happy owning so little yet so much. It was the most he’d ever had to his name, and growing up like he had… One learned not to turn their nose up at simpler things in life. Simon Riley, the man who owned nothing, was dead, leaving Ghost in his wake. Ghost owned little, but what he had brought him peace of mind and he was content with that.
Every principle of simplicity he’d built up brick by brick in his mind went flying out the bloody window as soon as Johnny came traipsing through the hole he’d blown in Ghost’s walls. For the first time since he could remember, Ghost wanted.

Summary
“Fuckin’ hell you feel amazing. Taking me like you were born to do it, aren’t you?” Simon couldn’t form a thought coherent enough to respond, but Johnny kept his face held almost delicately in his hands as he spoke. The best Simon could offer was a soft hum in acknowledgement. “You look so pretty gagging on my cock, sweetheart.”
Simon’s breath gradually evened out, now able to relax in Johnny’s hold. He looked up at him and opened his mouth after a few moments. He hummed softly as Johnny’s thumb slid over his lower lip.
“Look at you…practically already have you all trained up for it, don’t I?”

Summary
The officiator tapped his podium to regain control and motioned toward Ghost.
“A very noble display. Now, who do you champion for this year, Sir Ghost?”
They were expecting the same answer as every year. For Ghost to hold his gauntlet to his own breastplate without a word and nod.
But not this year.
Thunderous through his helm, taking everyone by surprise, Ghost rounded Banshee and pointed across the arena, directly at John, and proclaimed, “I champion for John of the MacTavish clan!”
---
There’s a yearly tournament held every spring to showcase the strongest and most skilled knights and warriors in the lands. Filled with feats of strength, talent and cunning, all sorts are drawn to the festivities.
Among them is the renowned Ghost, a knight-errant who’s consistently won the jousting tournament for the past several years.
Always a loner, he’s fought for himself, and himself alone, but something changes this year, in the form of an intriguing meeting with a bold, Scottish warrior.

Summary
Just one taste is all he needs. One drip to his tongue of Soap’s praise, and Ghost will eagerly lick his chops and gratefully gulp it down safe in his belly. For Soap to acknowledge the dripping bird between his teeth laid in offering against his boot.
He didn’t used to be this way. Sometimes he wonders if he could have been capable, if he had anything so precious to him he’d give his life and heart for. Call it dedication, devotion, even codependency, none of it matters. All Ghost knows is that he belongs to Soap, and Soap belongs to him.
He’s trained, and whatever he loves carries the harsh indents of teeth marks.

Summary
All day, all day John had spent looking at that mask. Power and intimidation and unyielding ferocity; how easily it all fell away into something coy as Simon tips his chin upward and smirks at him. “Something you need, soldier?”
Always.
He doesn’t think Simon has realised it yet, but John wants him — needs him — always. The way a flower bends to the sun, the way glinthawks flock to scrap. That’s how it feels, to be drawn towards Simon: like inevitability. Like there’s nowhere else in the world he’s meant to spend his time except for next to him, touching him, kissing him.
