Angst! 16

Fluff! 13

Misc.! 16

And… for characters I’m going to throw out Kai, Alenko, and Soap. Do whatever pairings or friendships you’d like. Also I’m not gonna die if you choose not to use those characters. Or prompts. I dunno, I just wanna read your stuff man.

*glee* Thank you SO much for sending some prompts my way! These are all pretty short but mark my first time writing 2 of the 3 characters, so I'm just carefully dipping a toe in the COD and ME pools, lol!

Thanks so much again! 😎👍

Angst 16. “Are you hurt?” “No.” “Then why are there bruises all over your face?”

Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish & Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

"Are you hurt?"

"No."

"Then why are there bruises all over your face?"

"You ought to see the other guy, Lt," Soap said with an unrepentant grin, unmarred by the fact his left eye was nearly swollen shut and he had a prominent cut on his lower lip.

Ghost sighed slightly behind his skull balaclava. "Sure I'll recognize him by all the bruises on his knuckles," he said dryly.

Fluff 13. Are you flirting with me?” “You finally noticed?”

Kaidan Alenko/Commander Shepard, Mass Effect (reader's choice as to whether it's male or female Shep 😉)

"Are you flirting with me?"

"You finally noticed?"

Kaidan squinted, several Commander Shepards swimming in front of him in the dim bar lighting, all wearing fondly amused expressions.

"You are flirting with me!" he stated as if having uncovered a core secret of the universe.

Shepard's smile broadened. "Think it's time to take you home and tuck you into bed."

"I'm going home with Cmdr. Shepard," he proclaimed loudly to the crowd around them. Several people raised a glass in good-natured salutes.

"Yeah, they know." Shepard got an arm around him, sliding him off the bar stool and onto his feet. "Most of them were at our wedding, after all."

Misc 16. “YOU SAID TO BE HONEST STOP HITTING ME!”

Kai-125 & Vannak-134, Halo the series

"YOU SAID TO BE HONEST, STOP HITTING ME!"

John heard Kai's shout from the hallway outside of the Spartan quarters and shoved the door open to see—

He blinked. For a solid moment, he wasn't quite sure what he was seeing, actually. Kai vaulted over her own bed, being pursued hotly by Vannak.

"That wasn't honest," he said grimly. "You're just being mean."

"Look, it's not my fault that that penguin documentary was kinda lame and—"

"IT WAS NOT!" Vannak bellowed back and took a swing at her that would've definitely put a marine in the infirmary for a month, if not in the ground, permanently. For Kai, it would've at the very least mussed her hair. "Those penguins are adorable and—"

"Lame. Laaaaaame," she singsonged, ducking a flurry of punches, then doing a very impressive parkour run up the wall into a backflip that sent her soaring over the enraged Spartan's head.

"THEY'RE NOT LAME, YOU TAKE THAT BACK!"

John looked over at Riz, who was calmly sitting at a nearby table, reading something on her padd. She met his gaze, shrugged, and then went back to reading.

They crisscrossed the room rapidly, with Vannak coming close to getting his hands on her but, ultimately, Kai would manage to slip away at the last second. The entire time, she continued to issue penguin insults that, for some reason, the other Spartan took extremely personally.

John opened his mouth, about to say… something. Then he gave a slight shake of his head.

"I have paperwork to do," he announced to no one. "Don't I, Cortana?"

"I can find you some, Chief."

"That would be great," he said and just turned around and walked away.

Sentence Starters

"Not a lesbian but I would absolutely do it. 100%. Covered in scars and muscular and all. You gotta."

Riz, Kai and Vannak better be played by their show actors if they make an appearance in the games now that they’re canon and members of Omega Team. I can’t see anyone play them. Maybe Pablo Schreiber can voice Leon as an added bonus like how Ahmed Best played Kelleran Beq in the Mandalorian.

The next installment is here! And this time including inspiration from Recreation by @ageless-aislynn! Thank you for letting me play in your sandbox, this has been way too fun and continues to give me way too many ideas!

The Spartan IV hovered behind the rock, a Banished Captain busily berating his tropes in Sanghelii. A grin passed behind the woman's helmet as she switched her weaponry to her newly acquired Shock rifle.

"Aurora," she said chuckling, "Please tag all the targets in my hub, and do we have any music to listen to?" "Yes, we downloaded some at our last briefing," the AI chirped.

"Good, play me some Foreigner."

"Juke Box Hero it is!"

Heh, lets bring it! Halo Episode 9 "Transcendance" begins right after Allegiance left off. John awakes to an alarm as the entire base is in upheaval. I'm pretty sure its about to be attacked by Covenant. I mean that would make a lot of sense, right? The daze appears to be pretty hard as John is able to figure out if Kai is still alive. Our girl is DOWN! And we learn that Makee has bamboozled everyone into taking off with the artifact. Time for some serious moments as Riz and Vannak deny the realization of Halsey's child stealing. Out comes Jacob finally revealing his bullshit, and yes, SIlver Team is back on track Vannak seems intent on proving a point, and damn please. Let this mother, and oh my god he does. Kai takes off to get Halsey and the rest of the team preps to take her. Kai breaks into the ship and fucking yes, Kai confronts Halsey and I hope., and she kills Adun. Nah, bitch deserved and she's off. I mean seriously the man deserved it. I mean it, he was literally protecting a mass murdering anti-social. And - I'm not sure if they killed Kai. Okay girl is alive. WHAT A FUCKING GREAT OPEN! Now its on to find Makee. Parangosky and Miranda along with Cortana work with Chief to find Halo. What they discover instead is a link to where it might be. Parangosky makes a point that John needs to take a step forward, he can't just be the little boy or the angry man. Time for him to become Master Chief, the Spartan, the hope of humanity. Especially when he sits before the Gravemind. "I shall speak and you shall listen." Silver team loads onto the Pelican to prep for insertion into enemy territory. Seeing Halsey run for her life is...like watching someone chase a scared Replubican Karen. It was so damn satisfying. We find Miranda and Jacob standing as the most destructive element of their lives is brought in for capture. Makee appears before the High Prophets, and begs to join them on the Great Journey. I will say the Elites armor isn't nearly as colorful as it was shown in the games, but I'll give them some patience. The jump towards Halo is weird, and we can get some nice banter between Silver Team. Seeing something that stresses eventhem is pretty good meter for what that damn force would have done to 10,000 Marines. They find the planet, which I think is where the Covenant is? Not entirely sure. WEird that they aren't on High Charity. Back on Reach, Miranda decides she's going to confront her scuffed up mother. Turns out Halsey's list of crimes and that she is only worth an execution. Whatever the Blonde says, it's likely an attempt to manipulate her daughter. So she leaves without saying a thing, and as Jacob removes the observation device we switch back to the Covenant compound. The Prophets reaffirm that Makee is just blood expendable. I mean it makes sense, she holds the Gene-Song necessary to activate Halo that's all they need her for. Let's drop a pack of demons on their doorstep. A helo drop see's a few grunt's dead, and it's time for a serious faceoff. Lol, everyone got duped by Halsey using a flash clone. Damn, I wonder where she did go off to. Chief is immediately taken distracted by the artifact activating. Several brutes pop up to take on the Brutes leading to Riz getting knocked out. Makee touches the artifact and basically blows everyone off of the mountain. This activates a massive map to reveal the location of several halo installations. Damn, that girl is literally going to fry. Chief is ripped into the Domain, Makee standing nearby as the two of them once again witness Installation 004. He speaks to Makee as Silver Team faces off against the oncoming Elites. Kai sees the problem, its Makee, and sadly, the girl has to die. Or, the entire fireteam will die. I think this is where Chief is going to learn he can't live in a fantasy even if shit is peaceful. It's time for him to get his shit together, and he goads Cortana taking over. Its time for her to do the job. Cortana takes control of Chief and the Pelica, showcasing that only an AI can reach such a level of Coordination. An act which will allow her to save the team as well as save the artifacts. Watching Cortana burn Riz's wound shut in a quiet and clinical matter is - stark. We see John as Master Chief silent and stoic, making us wonder if this is a step to how Chief is in Halo 1. Whatever, we'll just have to wait for Season 2. Hottakes:

Vannak's hesitation and the pain in his actions was well acted, he and Riz definitely have a bond.

Kai's not so dead death was...epic.

Seriously, I LOVE KAI!

Animation in the last battle got really janky.

Halsey having some back up followers is so damn annoying, that bitch better deliver well in the next season.

I hope they don't kill Riz like this, it would be so fucking anti-climatic.

TV Halo, for the first time in the series, dares to imagine something different for a Spartan: life, one beyond fighting, serving, or death. And it was beautiful to see.

Halo s02e05: “You’re all I have left.”

Primeiro episódio da nova temporada de "Halo: The Series" já está disponível!! 💣💥

Halo season 2 is basically the Halo 5 we thought Halo 5 was gonna be about minus Locke.

HALO: THE SERIES | Season 2 posters

After halo s02 e05:

I'm still processing my emotions and the impact of everything in that episode so will probably write a longer post later, but I have to say I am definitely not prepared for the emotional fallout that's going to happen when everyone discovers what's happened to Kai and when Kai discovers what's happened to everyone else.

I mean, Riz almost died trying to retrieve Vannak's body, which is now cremated with his ashes scattered on Aleria where Riz has chosen to stay. Even putting aside the grief associated with Vannak, Kai and Riz may never see each other again.

I love Riz for her bravery and maturity in staying on planet, instead of letting herself be crushed under the weight of what John thought he needed her to be. I love that John realised he loved and respected her enough to let her make her own choices in the end, and to let her go. I really hope we see Riz again because it feels tragic to have two of the most interesting characters - Riz and Vannak - drop out of the story.

I especially love the little smirk Riz gives Halsey when Halsey tries to goad her into coming back by saying to Riz that she was no one anymore. Riz's little grin of amusement that said 'you have no power over me anymore' and 'nice try, but that was a weak-ass effort' and 'you really have no idea who I am, do you' without actually saying a word at all before Riz steps away. Power move, really.

Me: I don't have a type!

Silver Team: *exists*

Me: So, I have a type.

-We lost Reach. We lost Vannak…Kai…What are you gonna do about it?

-I'm going to live.
