Soap’s journal. Entry #371
Dear diary journal. I’m still trying to crack the How’s it going Ghost code. These are my findings so far:
If he says Not Bad it means it’s Bad.
If he says Can’t complain it means week’s ruined.
If he says It’s going it means Worst day in a while.
If he says Another day in paradise I don’t know what happened, but he said that while drinking coffee for the first time in three years.
If he says Ahhh, you know... he will be stealing a car and some Semtex at the end of the day.

In a Week by Hozier ft. Karen Cowley
“The raven is death, obviously. When I die, I want a good tombstone—something right spooky. LT’s got something against the underground, though you’d think that would be just his kind of place. That’s alright. He needs to, he can cremate me. It’s not exactly Catholic, and Mam would turn in her grave, but God is a unicorn and no one is pure anymore, so. What’s all that got to do with me?”
Johnny “Soap” McTavish has a journal. Had. It is his no longer.
Simon “Ghost” Riley had dreams—awful ones, the kind that sank claws into his lungs, dragged him into sleep, and then sent him careening out of it. He still has dreams, but they’re different, now. Better. Johnny’s pages have folded themselves under his eyes and gotten into his head, brighter and more infectious than anything else has ever been. It’s more than the past, that rotting carcass behind him, and more than now. Now is nothing. Now is ash. It’s like, it’s like—blinding, is what it is. He’s a blind man.
It is biblical now. Ghost has read it backward and forward and sideways and inside out. When he runs out of things to read, he reads them again, and when that is not enough, he reads between the lines.
#ghostsoap#simon ghost riley#john soap mactavish#soapghost#soap x ghost#ghoap#call of duty#cod mw3#my art#ghost is obsessed with soaps journal bc it breaks his heart at first like really tears it apart but soon focuses on what soap has written#about him. words of admiration and envy and love and fondness. real fondness. jokes made for him thoughts about him musings etc.#and johnnys snippets about his family and how he wants to settle down eventually#then all simon can think about is what life they could’ve lived together after the ‘war’#nevermind that there will always be war be death be blood and love is there and it matters but it changes nothing#for simon there will always be johnny#who even knows if thats what soap wanted if he loved him back if ghost even remembers him as he was instead of what he wishes he could have#become to ghost if things had gone as they should. who knows. the dead dont sing dont speak. all thats left is what they wrote#the cigarettes refer to soaps smoking habit and how ghost disapproves like a nagging wife. the ash smudges and burns in the paper allude to#ghost deciding to have soap cremated as a spouse decides post mortem due to his own aversion to being underground bc he doesn’t want soap#to be nothing but a decomposing body. he couldn’t bear that. he couldn’t bury him alive or dead so burning it is

being well aware of ghost’s standards of privacy while also enjoying drawing the lieutenant far more than could be considered healthy, soap keeps a separate journal solely for ghost sketches—and lets ghost hold onto it for great safekeeping. it’s a way of reassuring ghost of keeping his image nonexistent in any captured medium, and maybe soap likes having to talk to ghost every time he wants to see about creating a new sketch
that’s definitely all it is. of course.
and ghost definitely doesn’t look through it ever. he definitely doesn’t because he definitely doesn’t like seeing how soap sees him, and soap definitely doesn’t know about this, and definitely doesn’t make it yet another reason to fill the journal
#john soap mactavish#simon ghost riley#ghost x soap#ghoap#ghost mw2#soap mw2#soapghost#ghostsoap#soap’s journal is so important to me#it can be something so personal i think

imagine Fae!Ghost being forced by love to sit down and do art projects/scrap booking or making little friendship bracelets and he only puts up with it because it’s her and he’s doing her a favor so more hooks! I think it would be so cute! Just this big exasperated Fae man who everyone fears and actively avoids doing art projects with his love because she begged him to.
More Fae!Ghost fluff, the fuckups can be sweet too, please God(my brain) let them be sweet(stop making me horny).
You have completely exploded all over the coffee table. Sitting on the floor sifting through journaling supplies and different colored threads, various scraps of paper from your day and about a million colored markers and little charms. Simon is giving you a wide berth as he tries to find a decent angle to get to his seat on the couch.
"So what're we avoiding here?" He asks, opting to go over the back of the couch to sit down.
"Deadline," you tell him, snipping at the edges of a cream colored paper star. He hums, and reaches past you to pick up a deep red, deeply tangled, bundle of string. He tucks it back against his palm and grabs the pink bundle as well.
"Always good to avoid," You hold your hand out for him to give you your supplies back, watching him wrap the thread neatly around his fingers. "There's a match on soon."
"No footie, I'm trying to focus," Simon frowns with a displeased hum, and settles the neat bundle in your palm. You watch him wrap the next one and are struck with an absolutely brilliant idea. "You could help, it'll go faster and then I can get back to my real work," you bat your lashes at him and rest your cheek against his knee. He stares at you for a long moment before his shoulders drop and he tells you,
"Fine, what do you need?"
Simon is very good with his hands. Which you already knew, but watching him make knots and loop thread is sort of mesmerizing. It's not exactly complicated, but he picks up patterns well, twisting little daisies between his fingers as you abandon work on your own bracelet. You're not sure if he's having fun or just humoring you, but it's nice sitting with him and working on something together.
You rest your head against his knee, writing out your day between scraps of paper. The tag from your morning tea, an event ticket, a sketch of the stamp on your hand courtesy of Simon. You feel so pleasantly warm and full in a way that you haven't since you were a kid. Simon reaches past you to snag a bead and returns to his work, you grab a marker to highlight your favorite parts of the day, the room is full of the quiet sounds of your work.
Simon grabs your wrist off your journal and pulls it to rest on his leg, tying his creation to your wrist. When you're allowed your wrist back you feel your chest swell at the neat little daisy chain, "Love" spelled in letter beads and resting over your pulse. Simon's fingers thread through your hair, scratching the base of your skull lightly.
"Didn't know you could do that," Simon mumbles, and you take your eyes off the best thing he's ever given you to look up at him. You hadn't even noticed until he'd pointed it out, but you're purring.
#Love makes a matching bracelet for Simon and he never takes it off#shows it off to könig who has never been more jealous in his life#me trying to think of the most chaotic hobby to give Love: a journalling#she probably sews too because i sew and i am so messy with it#simon ghost riley#cod x reader#simon ghost riley x reader#simon ghost x reader#ghost x reader#ghost mw2#reader x ghost#fae!Ghost#i could make her a doll hobbyist#theres truly no other hobby where you talk about decapitating people and eye removal to that degree

09 soap would absolutely be able to take 22 ghost in a fight and would be evenly matched
09 ghost and 22 soap would watch their counterparts fight and take bets while eating popcorn
#mw2#john soap mactavish#simon ghost riley#captain mactavish#09 soap#09 ghost#22 soap brings his journal and draws the fights#09 ghost brings a camera so he can record it and study the different fighting styles#both are huge nerds tho and cheer on their respective teammates

They went on common leave to Amsterdam, no shootouts involved this time. Soap is very proud of that joke.

If you asked, Soap would deny he has an obsession
He’s just a good observer, that’s all

I FINALLY GOT MY GRUBBY LITTLE HANDS ON SOAP'S JOURNAL!!!
Oh boy oh boy oh boy, guys there is so much in this bad boy that NO ONE has mentioned!! The SoapRoach content in here is off the walls!! Why is all I ever see the like 2 moments Soap mentioned Ghost??? There so much Roach and Price and Gaz content here, so here are some random bits from Soap's journal:
MW:
Embarrassed that Price helped him up and caught him from the plane during Crew Expendable mission
Mentions needing to buy Price "a bottle" as a gift afterward
Upset he missed the first shot on the helicopter during Hunted, says it was "inexcusable, especially considering SAM'S shoot themselves"
Put into the infirmary by a dog bite, too embarrassed to tell Gaz or Price (only Nikolai knows)
Call's Price's mustache both a "dick-tickler" and "Price's precious whiskers"
Blames himself for Gaz, Griggs, and Price's deaths (he believes Price died on the high way) and tries to come up with other ways they could have moved through that would have let the men live
Get's stuck/angry over the image of Zhakaev's blood mixing with Gaz's on the bridge
Nik brought women to see him while he was recovering in Russia
Begins mentioning his struggles with pain killers like morphine and alcohol
He becomes almost obsessive with cleaning and caring for Price's pistol as a way to distract himself from becoming addicted
Tries horse racing and betting to cope, but eventually turns to smoking
MW2:
Soap is the one who sought out the formation of TF141, Shepherd merely backed the idea
Describes Roach as "Raw, skilled, loyal to a fault" (implied he and Ghost are absolutes for the team)
On the other end, Ghost gets a simple "what the hell kind of name is Ghost" and no other information akdndjdhjdhd
Roach has the highest score on the rifle test, a whole 18 points over Ghost
Ghost beats Roach on PFT, but only by 3 points
"Have been looking forward to breaking Roach in" during Kazakhstan
"Feel even more comfortable with him than Price must have with me" omg
Roach has a journal that Soap spots him writing in, he wonders what he's writing
Adds to the end wondering if Roach is "wondering what villa claras taste like" which is clearly a reference to Soap's own admiration of Price and wondering if Roach feels the same as that, but boy oh boy Soap was that a gay way to put it ajdjfjdbhd
Makarov weighs 184 pounds and is 5'11 I'm wheezing what a little wet rat of a man I love him
Mentions the death of Meat, so far one of the only deaths he hasn't blamed himself for
Mentions needing to trust Roach and his instinct more, essentially tells himself to cool it with the constant reminders and stuff
Plans to put Roach on circuits and crossfit because he wasn't fast enough lmao
Says he would have crashed the plane before leaving Roach on the rooftops in Brazil 🥺
Blames himself for Roach almost not making the jump to the plane
Says that Ghost "knows something about interrogation"
Mentions that the team didn't bat an eye to him torturing Rojas for information, Soap draws a comparison between himself torturing Rojas to Price torturing Al Asad.
He specifically has Roach handle the C4 after seeing how well he did with it during Kazakhstan
"Ghost hacked at a snails pace" LMAO REAL
"Funny thing watching Roach get taken down by Price" listen sir, give your boyfriend a break please
Very excited and cathartic for him to give Price his pistol back
Says that Price returning and taking over command was the "best demotion imaginable" 🥺
Was just happy following Price and Roach because he "got to listen to the two of them working together like we once did"
Says it was nice to see Price taking Roach under his wing
"For all that coaching, Roach did a shit job with the bodies" listen here sir...thats not a mechanic in the game give the boy a break akdndjjdhd
Knew that Price was up to some bullshit as soon as his comms went off
Kill shepherd: "For Ghost. Roach" 😭 throwing myself from a cliff
"Loyalty doesn't operate on a sliding scale. It's a safety. On or off."
MW3:
Nikolai and Yuri go way back, potentially from Nik's time as an ultranationalist?
Nik rescuing Soap again and Soap saying he owes him a pallet of Imperia for it akdjjdjd
"Knife would healing too slowly for tastes" baby....
Nikolai providing him with antibiotics and pain medication 😬 Soap describes them as "providing inspiration" which does not sound good
Mentions how the ultranationalists have become more violent then they were under Zhakaev
Soap lost friends during the terrorist attack in London
Final thoughts:
Omg my husband
He struggles a lot a lot with guilt from very early on
Put a shit ton of pressure on himself and blames himself for anything that goes wrong. Especially blames himself for the deaths of other characters.
Seems to have had a struggle/struggles with coping with that guilt. It appears to have manifested a bit in struggles with pain killers and alcohol that he manages through almost compulsively taking care of Price's pistol.
Attempts to cope through horse racing (and gambling?) But what ends up working is smoking.
Definitely had a lot of care for his team, particularly Roach seemed to get a lot of his attention.
Much closer to Nikolai then I think people realize. Nik saves his life numerous times and the two work together even with Price not around. Definitely helps to fill in some gaps on why Nik sticks around at the end of mw2
Looks up to Price so very much. Like stars in his eyes this man can do no wrong type of thing.

Zombie apocalypse au
As it turns out guns usually aren't particularly useful, not unless you have a shotgun and a shit load of buck shot. You want to take down a zombie in one shot, maybe two if you're lucky. And a bullet doesn't really do that, even a head shot. See there's something about the- well we're not really sure what it is so we've just taken to calling it a pathogen- anyway something about the pathogen keeps the brain functioning even after sustaining what should be life ending damage. And in addition to that they don't seem to react the same to physical trauma. You need to deal alot of damage that is just not efficient with singular bullets.
What you really want is a weapon that can immobilize. Zombs can't turn you if they can't move. Buckshot works great because you can hit a large area with a lot of force, and if nothing else it's good for holding them back long enough to get their legs. It works in a pinch if you're caught in a hoard- been there, not fun.
Most of the guys have taken to handheld weapons. A sledgehammer works great to break bone- which seems to be stronger due to the pathogen- and basically any sharp object to cut theough the flesh.
Trash can lids, as cliché as it is, work great as an impromptu shield.
Sadly the only real way to kill them is starvation, they can the pathogen needs fresh hosts to survive, after 2 weeks the body becomes weak, 2 weeks after that the pathogen officially goes doemant. Not dead, dormant- Seen too many people make that mistake. That's why you immobilize them. 'Course the host was already dead the moment the pathogen reached the brain, so it's too late for them.

ghostsoap sneakpeak to hozier’s in a week
full post here
#ghostsoap#soapghost#ghoap#simon ghost riley#john soap mactavish#cod mw3#my art#there’s a whole comic spread. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them this is infecting my brain#I do really like the idea of ghost reading through soaps journal afterwards and then just getting this fantasy of them retiring and living#together in a cottage somewhere and adjusting his fantasy to little details soap includes in the journal#and completely blowing details out of proportion to match the context of his own yearning#does he warp his own memory of who soap is and their relationship to one another out of longing#perhaps perhaps not. after all the journal is very revealing
