    Summary

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    Odysseus of Ithaca, his family by his side. A family more loving than the one the gods were born into. And is that not tragic? They are supposed to be more than humans in every way and yet, somehow, this is the part where they’ve failed. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: divine and powerful and above all mortal, ageless and holy and fated to be great. Laud to them, the mightiest of all: a father who struck down his child and her siblings who stood by and did nothing but watch. What does it mean, to be a god? He does not have an answer.

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    Faintly, Apollo realises that Athena does not think of her family as she dies – but of a mortal man and his wife and son; of a carved wooden owl and olive trees; of an infant in her arms and bright smiles.

    ˗ˏˋ — ‧₊˚- ᓀ ᵥ ᓂ - ˚₊‧ — ˎˊ˗.

    (or: Gods are complex beings. That does not mean being siblings means nothing- not when their sister is suffering their fathers wrath. It is wrong: they will not stop it. All they can do is collect what's left in the aftermath, and pray that it may heal.)

    On a foreign base, Soap has the opportunity to go out on a recon mission. By himself.

    It goes, rather predictably, very bad.

    Summary

    There’s a teddy in Soap’s bed; a beaten-up, old brown bear. Well-loved, if the state of the fur is any indication. Ghost lets out a choked laugh, mostly at his own expense. He wishes he was there, suddenly, wishes he was by Johnny’s side as he walked through the doorway and realised that his childhood room was waiting for him like a time capsule. Wishes he got to see the embarrassed scrunch of his face, the way the tips of his ears would flush red.

    Soap has a whole second life, outside of the SAS. He’s got a mother, and a poorly-decorated bedroom, and a bear. All Ghost has is a flat that will be the same it is today as it will be the day he dies, like he was never even here at all.

    Summary

    Warmth filled his chest at the prospect of the future. Once he had thought the job was his life; probably because it actually had been. He had resigned himself to an early, violent death on a battlefield. Recently, he had started accepting the chance at the opposite.

    Like the fresh buds on the trees rushing past the car window, Price felt a new start coming with spring.

     

    Soap and Ghost are forced out of retirement when Price goes MIA.

    Summary

    “Mm, not stuff his pockets with the drug everyone thinks makes you gay right before a press conference? Maybe!” Ilya’s voice chimed happily from the phone.

    “You wanna tell us why you’re so acquainted with Rush that you can identify it in 780p, Ilya?” Kip asked.

    “…I have so much leather to deodorize, Kip Grady. So many sports cars, you know.”

    --

    Kip can't believe no one else can tell how outrageously gay Ilya Rozanov is, but he's not complaining, he's happy to have someone else to talk to at all the hockey functions.

    Or: Perfect gaydar haver Ilya Rozanov finally gets a taste of his own medicine. A series of looks into Kip and Ilya's friendship, starting after the cottage.
