    Summary

    When a mission gone wrong leaves John "Soap" MacTavish in a coma in a foreign hospital, the language barrier turns Simon "Ghost" Riley into Soap's husband instead of his partner.

    What begins as a bureaucratic mistake snowballs into a full-blown fake marriage as Ghost is forced keep up the ruse in order to deal with hospital staff, paperwork, and, to his horror, very real in-laws.

    By the times Soap wakes up, he has acquired a very devoted husband the nurses swoon over and his parents have accepted into the family.

    As Soap recovers, he and Ghost try to navigate their growing feelings as the line between pretend and fake starts to blur. By the time Soap is cleared for active duty again, they must figure out what their relationship really is… and whether the fake marriage everyone believes in might not be so fake after all.

    Summary

    The mattress shifted next to him as Johnny sat up in bed and snorted, “It doesnae matter whit kind of worm, Simon. Just a wee worm.”

    Well that’s stupid.

    “It does matter what kind of worm, Johnny,” he said, opening one eye, “Now who’s not taking this seriously, Sergeant?”

    Summary

    “Simon?”

    Simon slides a book into place before turning around. The man in front of him is lean, worn thin, with bags like dusky thumbprints beneath his eyes. He’s swallowed by the massive black hoodie he’s wearing, his hands wedged deep into his pockets and his shoulders hunched.

    For reasons he cannot begin to understand, Simon wants to crush this man into a tiny ball and then shove him into the mouth that gapes, screaming, around his own starved heart.

    He doesn’t do that, obviously. He’s on the clock.

    Or: Ghost loses his memories and falls in love with his husband, again.

    Summary

    From behind his back, Chris reveals his old, ratty Superman logo shirt. It’s way too small for him now, but, for some reason, he’s never thrown it away.

    “This shirt has superpowers,” he whispers to Theo. "It keeps all the bad dreams away. It doesn’t fit me anymore, but I don’t want all the superpowers to go to waste. Do you think maybe you could look after it for me?” 

    Theo nods emphatically. “Yes,” he whispers. He looks up at him, his tiny face sure and determined. “I can do it, Chris.” 

     

    Or, Theo has nightmares. Chris works a hand-me-down shirt-shaped miracle.

    Summary

    “...What I’m trying to say is, we’re best friends, you know? There’s nothing romantic about it. Just best friends.”

    “Best friends who live together and raise two kids,” Eddie adds, perplexed.

    “Yes!” Buck agrees, nodding, “Exactly.”

    “Okay,” Eddie says, but it’s not, not at all. He’ll be demanding answers soon.

    (Or, Eddie wakes up without remembering most of his life. He doesn’t freak out, really, he just needs someone to explain why is he not married to Buck.)
