This one is a wee bit sad but:
Ghoap kid going up to Ghost and asking “where’s your daddy?” Because they only ever go visit grandma and uncle Tommy.
Ghost tells them “my daddy didn’t like me very much” because he doesn’t believe in lying to his kids,
(1/3)
Simon “i don’t like kids” Riley is all just a ruse. You hand him a baby? He’s not gonna put it down
Sees a child? There’s a rapid progression from: “let me help you find you parents” and if the parents cannot be found he become Bruce Wayne and just adopts the child on the spot.
I’ve been thinking about Soap who says “I love you” very freely and all of the time. It was just how he was raised. He does it with friends and even acquaintances.
This habit lasts until he joins the army so he has to mind his words. That’s until he joins the 141
(1/6)
Soap who noticed very early on that Ghost sleeps with his back facing the wall. It eases his mind that no one can come up behind him, he does this even standing in rooms or sitting in the mess hall. Back alway to the wall.
(1/2)
Ghost who is a bit self conscious about his belly fat but not enough to do anything about it (he just sighs and doesn’t really want to put in the effort since he knows it’s healthy and normal but still feels ehh.)
This is until Soap shows up and ADORES his tummy.
(1/2)
I think we as a society forget just how dramatic and cocky Ghost actually is.
Man’s did the Assassin’s Creed jump off a building in that one Warzone cutscene and in MWII and the OG comics Ghost refers to himself as the BEST multiple times.

Alright I absolutely have to talk about this today: Wolf shifter Ghost and Raven shifter Soap.

“Alright Johnny, show me what this is all about,” Ghost grumbles and he snaps his boots into the skis.
On the ground next to him Soap fastens his feet to his snowboard before hoping up to his feet with a thud.

Please give me Soap and Ghost in the bathtub but Ghost does the thing with shampoo to make your hair stick straight up and he makes Soap’s Mohawk all spiky and all over the place.
Meanwhile Soap is just enjoying the head massage and layering bubbles on Ghost’s face.

Soap had been missing for days and everyone was worried. No one had seen the sergeant since the 141 had returned from their op.
Imagine Soap inviting Ghost to spend Christmas with him and his family. While they’re there Ghost gets put into the guest bedroom but it isn’t long before Soap is sneaking into bed with him.
Tucking himself against Ghost’s back and arms wrapped around his stomach.

Reality TV AU where Soap and Ghost meet on the set of one of those dating shows. Soap is there because he had nothing better to do and Ghost just needed the money.
ANYWAYS
On day one everyone is introduced and Ghost and Soap hit it off because they’re both ex military.

Ok I’m imagining that Ghost’s kids grew up knowing his mask and being totally unafraid. In fact they probably would think “dads here” or “that’s like daddy” and feel safe if they see anything skeleton related. They probably also love Halloween too.

Ghost wandered down the aisles of the supermarket aimlessly. He didn’t know what he was looking for, to be honest. He wasn’t even sure if what he was looking for was even food.
Ghost who takes Soap hunting on leave and Soap is shocked to find out that Ghost doesn’t actually hunt in the conventional sense, he takes photos of the animals instead.

I have a silly thought:
When Soap and Ghost playfully argue at some point it devolves into them thickening their accents an incomprehensible amount.
Their goal is to confuse the shit out of each other or make the other laugh first. It works like a charm

Thinking about Ghost sobbing late at night in Soap’s arms if he ever made their daughter cry even on accident or over something silly (like she was being fussy with her food). He just doesn’t want to screw it up so badly.
I also imagine he has a hard time scolding their kids
“It’s ok to cry.”
“I don’t think I remember how.”
Soap teaching Ghost that it’s ok to cry.
Telling him it’s ok to show your grief in a way that isn’t violence or vengeance
Letting out tears instead of shouts when frustrated
Saying it’s normal to laugh until you cry

CW: angst
Soapghost having a really awful fight and it isn’t shouting it’s just seething quiet.
Soap saying “You know, loving you was the second hardest thing I’ve done in my life.”
“Then what the fucks the first?” Ghost snaps.
“Breaking up with you. We’re done.”
(1/2)
So imagine Soap’s surprise when one night he feels Ghost roll over, onto his other side, allowing Soap to wrap an arm around his waist. Gently holding him close- becoming his shield.
Ghost has so much faith in Soap that he knows he can turn his back with him around.
(2/2)
Silly idea:
Soap mentions to Ghost one day that in high school he and his ex-girlfriend put a love lock on a bridge somewhere and then she broke up with him like two days later.
Ghost enlists Gaz’s help with a pair of bolt cutters and off to Scotland they go.
Ok but imagine this:
Because Ghost grew up in poverty he was never able to get braces or his wisdom teeth removed. This becomes a problem when he’s in his 30s because Price drags him to the dentist when Simon mentions he hasn’t been since he was like 12.
Cat shifter Ghost who’s cat form is scrappy and not a pretty conventionally pretty kitty but still loveable all the same. His meow sounds shrill and broken and his purr sounds like a rusted out tractor thats engine wont turn over but everyone loves it.
(1/7)
Ghost who grows a beard while on leave and actually really likes it. Soap loves it to say the least because A) it makes him so much hotter, and B) you can see flecks of gray in it.
It reminds Soap that maybe they’ll have a chance to grow old together.
(1/2)
Have we considered Soap who actually doesn’t like people? He puts on a kind and enthusiastic front (he is still a genuinely good guy) but in reality he gets social burnout really easily and just prefers to be on his own.

What if they’re the kind of family to invite over their kids exes for holidays?

What if Soap actually stays on base during holidays because he pushed himself away from his family due to his line of work?
This shocks Ghost because of how fondly Soap talks about his family and they become holiday base buddies.

The cigarette immediately drops to the ground and Soap is left gaping like a fish before Ghost pats him on the shoulder and wanders off.

The day they brought Roach into the 141 all hell broke loose. From the moment he stepped onto the tarmac, Ghost had it out for him.
Soap: walking into the mess hall totally normal.
Gaz, unimpressed: nice necklace, where’d you get it. Didn’t have it yesterday.
Soap: wdym?
/giant ring of hickies encompass Soap’s neck/
What if Soap began to see skulls as a symbol of comfort and safety because of Ghost? When he’s out in the field, he knows he will be ok once that skull mask comes into view.
This causes him to carve a little skull into the stock of his rifle for good luck on solo missions. 1/6
I think this fandom doesn’t utilize hacker Ghost enough- like we saw 09 Ghost opening doors in the Gulag and doing some other computer related things.
Thus I propose like super tech literate Ghost who is a bit of a menace.
(1/3)
but he knows they’re too young to understand the situation.
Without missing a beat his kid chirps “I like you daddy” and hugs Ghost’s legs.
Ghost is taken aback up scoops his little one up and pecks their cheek “I like you too little bug.”

It all started the first morning of leave. Ghost woke up with a sore throat.
CW//: body mutilation
Siren Ghost who can no longer sing because he had his tongue removed by sailors but he was able to escape. Thus he no longer has his primary defence weapon or means of communication
My one of favourite flavours of soapghost is where they are actually just married and have been married for ages and just never tell anyone.
Personally, I think that is a pro gamer move and hilarious.
“You guys never asked so we never told you.”
Since you all liked this so much, let’s add on: Ghost pushed his bed right against the wall and sleeps in an almost fetal position to self soothe.
While he sleeps Soap will trace his face, admiring how soft and at ease it is for once.
Soap who noticed very early on that Ghost sleeps with his back facing the wall. It eases his mind that no one can come up behind him, he does this even standing in rooms or sitting in the mess hall. Back alway to the wall.

Imagine they wind up on base with Soap’s cousin by pure chance and they bump into each other.

Ghoap with a cat that only likes Ghost. The cat will snuggle up on Ghosts big tummy, use it as a pillow, purring away and rubbing its face all over. Meanwhile, the cat turns into a WWE wrestler and uses the top of the bed frame to body slam Soap while they’re sleeping
Something about Ghost transitioning once he joins the military and returning home as the biggest beefiest person possible and throwing his dad out is chefs kiss to me
Ok we always say Ghost can’t drive but I will argue that Soap never bothered to learn how to drive because:
A) he could walk everywhere he needed to go
B) he had no motivation to learn
C) this man was too busy trying to get into the military at 16 and joined at 18.

Is… is this a safe space? Ok Soap being major jerk is on my mind.
All this talk about Roach replacing Soap but what if Ghost goes MIA (he’s alive, just captive or something). And Price has to bring Roach in to fill the empty fourth spot in the 141.

Soap kisses Ghost’s tummy, rests his head on it, blows raspberries that get Ghost kicking and laughing because he’s ticklish. Ghost has never felt more loved.
It’s simple but it works and makes Ghost feel more confident.

Ghost has elastics on his braces and if he yells too much they snap and he tears up.
Soap also recorded Ghost when he had his wisdom teeth removed and Ghost was absolutely zooted.

Simon peeled his eyes open, hearing Elle squealing from the nursery down the hall. Rolling onto his side he realized the bed next to him was empty and the alarm clock read 9:28am.
I believe Soap isn’t the one who uses overconfidence to hide his insecurities- it’s Ghost. I don’t think we consider this option enough.
Of course a lot of it is his natural cheekiness, he is more self assured than we think but still, I’d like to see more of it.
