    Summary

    Soap wants, more than anything, down deep where secrets have claw marks in them from how tightly they're held, to be seen. An artist and Submissive, he sees the world as few others do; a hidden Truculent, he sees others as few others do.

    He sees, but he isn't seen.

    Ghost wants, more than anything, to know what he wants. He oscillates between digging his teeth into the idea of Johnny and wanting to rend flesh from bone at the long-dead urges Johnny awakens within him.

    He wants, but he doesn't know what.

     

    Or: Sub for Sub Ghoap with a hefty side of hurt/comfort.

    Summary

    Simon Riley, known as “The Ghost of Manchester,” has spent fifteen years as the most feared hitman in Britain’s underworld, until one last job grants him a chance at a new life. He escapes to Wynndale, a picture-perfect Yorkshire village decked in Christmas cheer, determined to live in the shadows and forget his violent past. Which proves impossible when Johnny MacTavish, a cheerful ex-soldier turned coffee shop owner of The Sneaky Kilt, and relentless spreader of holiday spirit, crashes through Simon’s defenses like nothing he's ever experienced before.

    As Wynndale celebrates the season, Simon is drawn into Johnny’s world of found family, sparkly kilts, the true joy that comes with Christmas, and after-hours decorating. Before long, he finds his dark grey world slowly transformed into golds, greens, and reds, though none as vibrant as the blue eyes of Johnny.

    However, when Simon discovers Johnny's in danger from more than just the local thugs threatening his coffee shop, Simon must confront the darkness he can’t outrun, a lifetime of cold and calculation, and what it truly means to love and live with another.

    Or as I like to call it: "Hallmark Presents : A Hitman For Christmas"

    Ghost has spent the years since he was held as a POW locked into a marriage to preserve his career in the army. Forced to excel, to become part of the SAS and to form this heroic task force 141, everything in his life boils down to the sacrifices he's made for his career. For his country. For the world. It's pushed him too far, and Soap is the only one who seems to see it. Doing everything he can to push the bright beautiful Scot away, to protect him from his own personal hell, Ghost would do anything to not come back from the next mission.

    Soap picks option number 3.

    Summary

    Lieutenant Simon Riley is transferred to the xenobotanical research facility that is pioneering a new form of stripping the mineral used for star travel from the ore its contained in, through the use of plant enzymes. His job is to make sure that protocols are in place for safety and that the focus remains on this research. A facility full of botanists with their wildest wet fantasy, a massive alien plant, has the tendency to get off course. Then he meets the Deputy Director of the facility and Head Xenobotanist, Dr. John MacTavish. Suddenly, his thoughts are no longer contained to his assignment.

    After an unfortunate "accident" regarding Medusa's enzyme production, Simon Riley and Marshall Peterson are exposed to a dangerous level of the plants reproductive spores. It's up to the facilities team and Dr. MacTavish to get him through this unexpected and unnecessary accident.

    Or

    The new security guy is hot and right after Soap falls for him, he's exposed to dangerous plant enzymes. The more plant that the subjects become, the hotter Soap thinks Ghost is.

    Summary

    Soap is physically affectionate by nature.

    Ghost is not.

    Johnny might just be rubbing off on him though.
