Thank you for this absolute work of art. I love touch starved Soap. ๐๐๐

Watching each other's sixes as they accepted the most terrifying missing of theor while careers: learning how to be a civilian again.
But eventually screw up and find themselves trying to defend their actions. And they're wild to choose. Stay in but be separated and never allowed to serve in the same command again, or retire quietly. And in that stuffy London office, John and Simon lay down theor old call signs and decide to keep
except for the fact that if any of the brass gets wind of their indiscretion, they'll both likely be drummed out. Because, "everyone knew" Alphas and Omegas were just too driven by their hormones to make good soldiers. And the military was all either of them had left.
They do alright for a while,
under wraps any more and bang it out.
Except those specific circumstances that cause latent genes to be triggered? Those just happened. And now Soap and Ghost have to navigate the complexities of a new relationship, a new designation and a new place in society's fabric. Which wouldn't be a problem
Omegaverse: What if some Betas have latent Alpha or Omega jeans that can be triggered with the right set of circumstances. Soap and Ghost have been teammates for s while but they've always kept it professional. But after a mission that went so wrong they should have both been dead they can't keep it
Ghost: shares something horrifying about the best way to interrogate someone.
Soap: the fact that I love you should be deeply concerning to me. But it's not. Keep going, that's fascinating.

where younger alpha soap is in a constant state of overstimulation because older omega ghost is addicted to milking soap's knot.
ghost has relied on knot toys for /years/ because he's never trusted anyone to knot him, now he's downright insatiable.
No one to judge him for his tears. No one to care when he can't make himself get up for days at a time. And no one to stop him from ending up in a charming little bookshop on a cold evening, staring at the most beautiful man he's ever seen.
As he's useful. So when he's taken out of commission on mission and the doctors tell him he'll struggle to walk for the rest of his life, he takes his discharge papers and he picks an English town where he knows no one. No one to see as he struggles to adapt to his new circumstances.
Civilian AU where Ghost stays Simon and takes over his grandma's bookstore. Goes to therapy, heals from the shit of his childhood, adopts a dog, learns to make coffee and be an uncle. And then there's Soap, a man who joined up cause he was tired of being alone, but he only found a family so long as
Makes sure to squeeze his hand until the professor squeaks. It's exactly as gratifying as he thought it would be. After the ceremony, he takes his new husband home, and they celebrate. For hours. He's never been glader he tried to seduce Soap and found himself seduced right back.
Soap mopes for a day or two until he hears Ghost is going to be expelled for being arrested. Ends up bailing him out. They talk, confess feels, make up. And when Ghodt walks the stage to collect his diploma the next spring, Soap is there cheering for him. And when he shakes ex prof's hand, he
Him come, and Ghost may not be good for much but he's at least good at that. And Ghost overhears and gets his heart broken and it feels a lot like karma. So he slinks off. Soap kicks his ex out. Ex catches Ghost leaving and picks a fight. Ghost throws a punch and ex has him arrested.
A chance on ghost because it was nice to feel wanted, even if it wasn't actually genuine. So when his ex confronts him over sleeping with someone half his age, Soap scoffs. Just a fling, he calls it. Just a way to scratch an itch since his husband never seemed to be able to figure out how to make
Meanwhile, Soap knows there's something off about his new boyfriend. Mainly that what young verily alpha could possibly want him, especially after this husband told him he'd just die alone if he left. But he'd been tired of smelling other people on his alpha so he'd given him to boot. And he'd taken
Alpha Ghost who has a college professor who won't quit marking him down for stupid shit. Finds out he has an ex husband he still loves and decides to go hook up with him as a fuck you to his Prof. Except the ex, Soap is exactly Ghost's type. So it goes from revenge to relish and Ggost falls hard.
keeping her alive. The next time they have a few days stand down, Soap takes Ghost to a charity shop a few towns over that has a pristine postmodern mirror back bar for sale.
"Something like that for your dining room, LT?"
"Yeah, Johnny. I think mum would like it."
door, he gets why. It looks like a dozen america sitcom living rooms were chucked in a blender. Ghost refuses to make eye contact when he explains that he doesn't have anyone left to spend his paychecks on, so he spends it creating his mother's dream house. Because it feels like
Ghost, who has the most period perfect late 80s early 90s house with every stick of furniture sourced from antique stores and thrift shops. Soap has absolutely no idea til they start dating. First time Ghost invites him over, he's a nervous wreck and when Soap walks through the
As long as it isn't permanent. I'd miss you so.
