i need ghoap frantically making out against a door finally taking the leap on their feelings. need ghost grinding against soap, expecting to find him just as hard as him, only to feel nothing
and in all his wisdom and experience, he concludes soap was tortured and never told him
he’s trying to think of a delicate way to say he understands, that he’s been through it and it doesn’t change anything about how he feels (and who the fuck touched him so he can hunt them down and rend them limb from limb)
meanwhile trans!soap’s just trying to find the best angle to grind his cunt on ghost’s thigh
just it never even entering ghost’s head bc he’s never known a trans person but he has met plenty of people who’ve been tortured - himself included - so of course that’s his logical leap
soap takes off his shirt and he sees his top surgery scars and ghost asks if he wants him to kill the one who did it and soap just hums like, “actually, man did pretty good, they healed real well,” and ghost’s just teary-eyes with awe at how well he’s coping, “looking on the bright side, that’s my johnny.”
imagine he thinks johnny was fully castrated but sees he’s determined to still have a sex life with him so he buys packers and straps to help him bc hell yeah healing and soap’s just like, “holy shit i’ve never had such a thoughtful partner before, such a sweet man, lt.”

Word Game Wednesday - "Mine"
__
When Price speaks again, his voice is low enough that John has to strain to hear him.
"I feel responsible. I knew something was going on between you two. I should've put a stop to it."
"Wouldnae have made a difference. I was gone on 'im long afore anything happened 'tween us."
"Still—"
"No' yer fault, Cap. S'mine for bein' a goddamned fool, and Simon's for makin' me think he..."
John lets the words trail away, but the unspoken ending screams inside his head and stabs into the tender flesh around his shredded makeshift heart all the same. He pushes his glass forward and raises his hand, motioning to the bartender for another.

Alex is from a rich family.
He is brought home after Onderon, honourable discharge paid for by his wealthy father and his own suffering at the hands of the partisans. Maksim Kallus is a father who looked down on Alex joining the forces in the first place. And so, he considers it an insult that he has to pay to remove his only son from its grip.
He resents Alex for his weakness; PTSD brings nightmares, panic attacks, and shakes. It’s unbecoming. It’s a family embarrassment.
-
The Kallus Company get a threat on Alex’s life from an under-level group. The group demand Maksim Kallus remove the K12 Pipeline, claiming that it leaks toxic sludge. It fills lungs with mould. It leads to babies born with hearts too small to support their little bodies.
Maksim dismisses it all as lies, and refuses outright.
Instead, he hires a bodyguard. Out of a spiteful need to beat ‘strength’ into his son, he spots a Lasat during his perusal of potential mercenaries. A Lasat with a long history of battles won in both wars and arenas. Maksim Kallus hires him on the spot.
Alex is disturbed when he meets Zeb. He wants to bolt, but his legs are jelly. He doesn’t want to look like a fool, but the terror is bigger than that. It wraps around him like a noose. He forces himself to withstand it, to grip hard at the table edge until Zeb is dismissed. He has enough strength only to leave his father’s office, and then breaks down alone after stumbling as far away as he can manage.
He refuses to let them see him struggling. Not his father. Not the damned Lasat. He will not allow this reaction to take him again.
—
Zeb looks in surprise at what has him pinned to the wall. It’s a vicious looking paper knife, embedded through Zeb’s munitions strap. It’s impressively close to Zeb’s throat.
“Don’t underestimate me,” Alex says icily, glaring. His hand is still raised from the throw.
Zeb lifts both arms in surrender. “Wouldn’t dream of it,” he says, half honest.
“I could kill you.”
Zeb can’t resist it. It’s too much fun messing with that haughty air that Alex has. “With a letter knife?” He probes incredulously.
Alex scowls. “If I have to.” He marches forward, unfaltering, and braces one leg on the wall next to Zeb. They’re close, close enough that Zeb can see the pulse jumping in Alex’s neck.
Alex leans into Zeb’s space and then pauses. With significant force he wrenches the blade from the wall. “So stay in your lane.”
The scent of fear is still there, but it’s starting to settle as Alex forces himself to overcome it. Zeb knows Alex is pretending at power; trying to gain the upper hand with a sense of authority that he’s faking. It kind of works, though. He’s definitely hot when he does it.
Stuck-up, and sexy.
Alex pulls away and spins sharply on his heel. He stabs the knife hard into the desk and sweeps from the room, leaving Zeb to follow awkwardly. Unable to contain himself, Zeb whistles lowly at Alex’s back.
He is coldly ignored.

A quick skim through the BBC!Ghosts tag tells me that no one has spent too much time trying to decode the Captain’s service ribbons. Lucky you, I did!
The badge on his jacket lapels say that he was in the royal artillery
1939 to 1945 Star: This is awarded to anyone who completed operational service overseas between 3 September 1939 and 8 May 1945 for at least 180 days.
France and Germany Star: Awarded for at least 1 day of operational service in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, The Netherlands or Germany between 6 June 1944 and 8 May 1945.
Defence Medal: Awarded for non-operational service (like training bases, for example) in the UK or overseas. A minimum of 3 years service in either the UK (3 Sep 1939 and 8 May 1945) or in the Home Guard (14 May 1940 and 31 Dec 1944) are required; if stationed overseas, 1 year between 3 Sep 1939 and 2 Sep 1945.
War Medal 1939 to 1945: Awarded to all full time personnel of the armed forces who served at least 28 days between 3 September 1939 and 2 September 1945, no matter where. In Europe, WWII ended in May 1945; this medal was instituted in August 1945.
He doesn’t wear any other clasp, so he didn’t fight in the Battle for Britain or the Battle of the Atlantic (makes sense, those were RAF and Navy stuff mostly). The Africa Star was awarded for a minimum of one day of operational service in North Africa, the Arctic Star was awarded for any amount of time spent fighting in that campaign, and the Pacific, Burma, and Italy Stars were awarded upon entry into an operational area. He was awarded none of these medals, which means he only fought the France and Germany campaign.
He only wears WWII medals, which means he didn’t fight in WWI (it was unlikely he would have anyway, tbh, 41 was the the maximum age to fight in WWII, which would have made him 18 in 1916). The order I’ve written them out in (from top to bottom) is the order they should go left to right. For some reason, the Captain is wearing the ribbon band upside down. That’s a very huge big no good no-no. At first I assumed if was a mistake by the costume people, but it’s been three seasons and that hasn’t been fixed yet so I have to conclude it’s intentional. It could be some kind of BBC directive (idk, “non-army personnel has to wear the uniform in a certain way or it’s an insult to the queen” or some other silly nonsense) or it could be a genuine mistake the Captain made before dying, in which case I assume he’s spent sixty years being massively bothered by this. [ @lagoonnebula6523 said that the director of series 1 and 2 hinted that the reason for this mistake would be revealed in a future series, which I think points to an in universe explanation. Thank you for the info, this is super cool to know!] [Small aside, but I remember googling why the ribbons would be worn upside down and what i found was neat but probably unrelated. Check the tags if you’re interested]
I believe he’s in a service dress, which basically means he was at some kind of event when he died. He’s not in the army equivalent of the white tie, so we’re not talking about something too fancy. Maybe some sort of minor party?
So yeah, dude died after the war ended, and considering he seems used to saying “king” instead of “queen” I feel like he died either before Elizabeth was crowned or just after, so somewhere between August 1945 and around 1953-55

I know I’m probably really late to this but if that ask game is still happening I’d like to ask desire for Caraval.
AUGH ITS BEEN LIKE 4 MONTHS SINCE I REBLOGGED THAT MEME but yeah sure I'm always down to talk about characters!
desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?
The one thing that Caraval desires more than anything else is connection. Family. People he knows he can trust to have his back in a tight spot, and people who, in turn, he can help pull out of their own tight spots. He wants to be part of something, not necessarily something big, or grand, or world changing, but something close and purposeful. He wants community.
Unfortunately, this has been denied to him multiple times, from the family he was born into dying to illness while he was away, despite the money and medicine he sent home to them, to his reputation with the family he made in his squad being destroyed after it was discovered he was using his status as a surgeon to smuggle drugs. Follow that up with a long period of only being able to find work with the more unsavorable crowds who don't care so much about morality, and he's gotten a bit bitter and cynical. He knows family is what he wants. He just doesn't expect to really be able to get it anymore.
As for what he's willing to do for that family, should he have it, well. It's no coincidence he was discovered smuggling drugs just around the same time of his family's illness.

I hope people know that when I say I really like Mori, I don't mean that I actually like him, I mean that I want to dissect his brain under a microscope.
Creepy mafia doctor man who has committed war crimes and would do so again without any compunction, but only for the sake of a goal. Why are you the way that you are.
