Ghost's Birthday

Proofreading? Having heard of her. Editing? Who is she?

Ghost had the tiniest of smiles on his face when Price handed him the baby blue bag with an obnoxious “Happy Birthday” on it. Before he had a chance to ask, Price smiled at him. “Your leave is approved. There’s a gift for you.” 

Ghost relaxed. “Thank you, sir.”

Price patted him sadly. “Of course, Simon. You’ll leave at the end of the week. If I had noticed the dates, I would’ve tried to it get it done sooner.”

“It’s okay, Captain. I appreciate it.” Ghost held the little bag in his lap, gently running his finger over the corner. 

“Simon if you ever wan-”

Soap and Gaz started to pound on the door, clearly scared to death. Price laughed. “We’ll talk later yeah?” Once Ghost nodded, he raised his voice to be heard by the men outside. “Come in.”

They rushed inside and closed the door. Gaz noticed the bag and went quiet as Soap explained how this was not really their fault and how could they know their actions could have consequences. 

Ghost picked up the bag and glass clinked in it, which got Soap’s attention. He nodded at Price and then his two sergeants before making his leave. The three of them stared after him and the small bag in his hand. 

Gaz and Soap slowly turned to Price. 

Nik threw the door open. “You two! Outside now!” He was seething, teeth bared and gritted. 

Gaz and Soap looked at Price, their savior, for protection. He shrugged. “Nik, you’re doing the paperwork.”

“I’ll take that deal.” 

Nik made them clean the mess they made in his helicopter and then had them sweep the sunshine off the stairs outside. He noticed them talking and made his way over again. 

It was then that they found out Ghost was going to go on leave for the week and Soap immediately had an idea. They’d have to pull a few strings and they’d have to do it fast, but… 

Ghost was so glad it was the last day before his leave. The past few days had been miserable. Everyone kept talking and then shutting up when he came in the room or hiding messages from him. Paired with the general feeling of this time of year, it wore on him. He didn’t particularly feel like getting out of bed, or his desk chair, or the floor when he was dumb enough to lay on it for a minute. So he just stayed on the floor now. 

There was a pit in his chest that had metastasized to his stomach. He wondered if it was cancer. If like his dad, he could be cracked open and there would be decaying flesh. 

Ghost groaned. He was being melodramatic. Like his dad. 

He was sure that’s why everyone had been avoiding him. He was an empty shell of a person. His chest also hurt. 

The little bag stayed on his desk the entire week. He gingerly picked it up, pulling it to the ground in front of him. Blue tissue paper stuck out of the top. 

Price knocked firmly. “Got a message from Alejandro. Emergency in the meeting room.” 

Ghost was out of the door and at his heels. He realized a tad late that he still had the bag in hand. 

They walked into the the meeting room and paused. 

Everyone had realized that jumping out at two seasoned soldiers who had a platoon’s worth of PTSD was not a good idea, so they settled for just making sure the door would close behind them before the decorations could be seen. 

Price, who had not been informed because they didn’t want him to tell Ghost, had turned rather pale. 

It was simple. Lots of blue balloons though. Same color as the bag. They arched around the room. 

One table had a cake with a photo of the 141 on top and the other had several gifts, all packaged in the same wrapping paper. He assumed, correctly, that the wrapping was a last minute thought. Something that made the lump grow in his throat was that each present was clearly wrapped a different person. 

Someone had made a banner that said “Happy Birthday Ghost”. 

Price and Ghost were silent as half of SpecGru stared at them. 

Alex raised a cup of whatever they had for the drink. “To Simon Riley!”

“Simon Riley!” Several of them raised their cups and cheered. 

Price glared at Soap and Gaz. 

Ghost quietly turned to the table of gifts and set the bag on top of it. He carefully took off his mask and set it right in front of it. 

There were so many gifts. He couldn’t remember ever having so many as a kid. His record was four he was sure. Usually at least two were clothes. 

Gingerly, he picked up one of them. He could tell it was from Rodolfo by the neat wrapping and the handwriting used to write his name. Careful not to tear the wrapping, he undid each piece of tape so that he could unfold it. He carefully straightened it so it was flat and set it to the side to look at the gift. 

It was a tac vest with a rib design on it. It also had some stuff to help with camouflaging and extra knife holders. 

He heard Laswell angrily whispering to Price that she was going to kill him for not telling him it was Ghost’s birthday.

“It’s not his birthday.” Price said quietly and several people were confused. “It’s Joseph’s birthday.”

“I go visit his grave.” Ghost said quietly, unfolding another present silently. “If you guys want the presents back, that’s fine. I’ve never had someone throw me a party like this. I just want to know what’s inside.”

“Of course you can keep the presents.” Chuy told him. “Especially mine.” He shoved his towards him. 

Ghost carefully undid the wrappers. “My mom used newspaper until I was 8. It was cheaper because my grandad like reading them. After he died, she started using wrapping paper. Always easter themed because my actual birthday is in May and it would be on sale.” He pulled the mothman plush out of the paper, staring at it. 

Simon was sure if he was capable of crying, he’d be bawling like a child. But he couldn’t, so instead he smiled. It was incredibly soft. He felt… strange. Surrounded by friends. People he considered close. 

Price gently patted his shoulder. “You alright, son?”

“Yeah.”

“You keep everything.” Soap said softly, watching an unmasked Ghost go through a range of emotions. Nostalgia, sadness, a depth of grief he had no way of understanding. If anyone wanted their gift back, he’d personally pay them for the replacement before he let them take it away from Ghost. 

Reyes had gotten him a new knife holster and some booze, Gaz got him a new knife and Soap had gotten him bourbon and some sketches of Riley since he knew he missed her now when they went on long missions apart. Farah had gotten him a matching keychain with her that was tombstone that when set next to each other said “Buried alive”. She must’ve gotten it custom made. 

Everyone looked away when Ghost had to compose himself. He laughed a little, sounding wet and sad. 

Soap eventually asked if he wanted to open the bag. “You know. For Joseph.”

Simon hesitated before quietly pulling out the tissue paper. There was something methodical about the way he treated each present. He made sure nothing was torn or crinkled if he could help it. 

The bag held a gun, several traveled sized bottles of bourbon, a joint and a small teddy bear. 

The gun was unloaded. 

Soap didn’t ask. He didn’t think he’d like the answer very much. 

Ghost put the teddy bear next to the mothman plushy. They had gotten candles, but hadn’t bothered to set them up, not sure if Ghost would enjoy them. Gaz quickly put a few on the cake and Ghost blew them out. He smiled a little and everyone was determined to keep the good vibes going. 

Alex, with permission, spiked everyone’s drinks and someone broke out cards. They all played and Ghost kept smiling. 

Price watched him carefully, worried he’d reach his limit. He didn’t. Everyone knew how to avoid his boundaries and it meant that Simon got to be around. 

Soap kept staring at him, starry eyed. Everytime Simon laughed or smiled or told one of his shitty jokes, Soap would look a little more smitten. 

Ghost got up after a while, drunk and full of good vibes. “I’m going to go.”

Soap protested immediately, grabbing his sleeve. “Already? Come on it’s not even midnight.”

“Early flight out for Manchester. I appreciate it though, Johnny. I appreciate all of you guys.”

Soap nodded and squeezed him. 

Price waited until Ghost was about to leave before patting his back. “Gun stays unloaded.”

“Gun stays unloaded.”

A week later, Ghost came back. He looked tired, but the moment he was back around his friends, he looked happier again. 

Maybe he looked a little happier around Soap, but no one would call him out for it. He was back to being the scary man on base, even if he had two stuffed animals on his bed now.

Who makes more sounds during sex than their partners? (Asking for SoapGhost, Aledolfo and Korangi but you can include any other ships/characters)

I'll do a few ships!

--

Soapghost: Definitely Soap but only because I think Ghost is too insecure to make much noise in bed, which I think Soap takes as a challenge

Aledolfo: Alejandro, actually, but because he doesn't shut the fuck up. Rudy likes it though ❤️

GazAlex: Alex, Gaz is fairly quiet.

Korangi: Horangi moans like a whore. Koenig is way too socially anxious, look at him. I think he blushes and whines, but that's it.

Cheyes: I'm gonna be real, I think they're both about on the same level, it just sort of depends on the encounter

NikPrice: Price, you cannot look me in the eyes and tell me he is not loud and vocal in bed.

The Gifts that keep on giving...Part 1

Summary: Head cannons for if reader was stuck with some Task Force 141 and KorTac men (With some surprises) for Christmas, what would be the best surprise gift to give them?...UGLY SWEATER EDITION

Challenge of: @glitterypirateduck CODHOLIDAY2023 (Yes I'm early but I have a lot of stuff I'm trying to do for this Challenge and really, who doesn't start celebrating the day after Thanksgiving...am I right?!?!).

See below for the movie inspiration for these head cannons for challenge :P

Captain John Price

Would blush when handed the present. Him being Captain and in charge knew you were up to something when you pleaded for him to allow an extra crate onboard. So when handed the soft pressed present the blush is part surprise and embarrassment that he didn't have a gift for you. He would take his time unwrapping it to only get that shit eating smile when he looked at it, immediately putting it on and pulling out a cigar to match the reindeer. You completely forgot that it wasn't the completed look and ran to grab the Santa Hat replacement for your dear Captain.

Simon Ghost Riley

You would be too nervous to watch him open up the present, because let's face it his big wondering brown eyes would just stare at you and would make your anxiety literally kill you before he would even open it should you have waited. But it was your eyes that couldn't leave him as he walked out of his corner room where you placed the simple present with a simple "Ghost" written on it sporting the sweater like it was nothing. As he walked by headed to where Johnny was shouting at him that his sweater was better than Ghosts and the lot of them, you believe you heard a little ghost whisper "Cheeky" along with a thanks.

Johnny Soap MacTavish

As soon as he saw you round the corner the inner child in him escalated his voice and excitement to mock level 10, thank goodness you weren't in a spot where it was imperative to remain silent. Sometimes his accent made words hard to understand but he was a rambling mess currently. He had the wrappings off and the sweater on in a heartbeat and he would go running around showing off his sweater to everyone and scolding their "ok" sweater choices before returning to you as he lifted you up off your feet for a hug. He would of course then bring out the secret booze he had for everyone for Christmas.

Kylie Gaz Garrick

Would be completely shell shocked silent as you slid the wrapped gift you made sure was perfectly wrapped for him. He would look at you then the gift a couple times before you told him to hurry up before you opened it for him. He wouldn't ruin the wrapping paper and you would sigh in utter suspense until he had the wrapping paper off the sweater perfectly. He would grin up at you uttering how perfect this was and later as the ugly sweater party died down would sit next to you as you shared a tablet watching Home Alone together.

Alex Keller

His extremely loud boisterous laugh would strip away the sudden fear that overcame you as you watched him open the present you thought was the perfect sweater for him. It was a sudden ping inside yourself that perhaps the ugly sweater you picked out was the wrong choice...too insensitive...perhaps too soon...which wasn't the case to your instant relief. You had been there to help Alex through his rehab and not once did Alex ever show of slowing down. It would become Alex's go to sweater for Christmas for years to come and also became a staple request that any actual Gingerbread cookies with missing legs were reserved for him and him alone.

Alejandro Vargas

It was well known that you and Alejandro had a thing for tacos. During your stay with his task force you were introduced to authentic and unbelievably flavorable tacos, much so that months later you had to beg him to coach you over Zoom on how to cook it since Taco Bell fell flat. "You ruined fastfood tacos for life now Ale, you owe me". At first he was confused why ugly sweaters were a thing but soon just shook his head laughing at you as he stripped off his shirt and put it on.

Jesus Chuy Ordaz

Chuy would be sitting silently laughing at Ale and what you just did to him until you plopped his present on his lap. He about rolled his eyes at you but stopped. Not like he would actually talk out loud because the guy is a silent guy but you knew he couldn't deny that ugly sweater was perfect for him. (You know a silent guy like that has a loud ass small dog waiting for him at home that also has a big attitude and is completely spoiled by him...fight me on this cannon I dare you).

Konig

You couldn't explain it but Konig's eyes got even wider underneath the hood when he took his sweater out of his Christmas bag. You and the big guy had been bonding over monster movies over Halloween holiday and you just had to continue the trend. You had your own sweater for the occasion, but you also showed Konig that you had one too of the same exact sweater because it literally was your favorite ugly sweater too. The next day you ordered him the T-Shirt version as you couldn't help but notice, and how police and quiet he was not to upset you, that he was burning up too much in the sweater version.

Horangi

Honestly, why wouldn't Horangi have a Tiger ugly Christmas Sweater (You know who you are you little 141 Monster AU writers). You didn't approve of his horrible gambling problems, but you couldn't help yourself from giving him a card game of blackjack to see which sweater he would end up with. Oh, believe me they both would have tigers in them, but they weren't as atrocious as the ugly one he lost to having. Not to mention you sewed in actual bells to jingle as he walked around on the wreath part. He actually deep down loved it because honestly tigers are the cats meow.

BONUS

Philip Graves

You thought to yourself, could there not be a more perfect sweater out there. And you were right, the man ate it up and wore it several times this Christmas and multitudes of Parties. You both loved and hated it but Christmas was about joy and giving. You did kindly have to decline his attempts at inviting you to go with him until you had to tell him off that you would have no choice but to return him if he asked again.

OOC BONUS

Frank Woods

@efingart I hope you enjoy this sweater as much as I do for Frank. Though of course nothing compares to his skin for Black Ops Cold War. If you know, you know...mistletoe!

SELFISH BONUS

Nikto

You knew he probably wouldn't get the reference but Nikto gladly wore your sweater along with the shiny black new knife that you had packaged with a red bow along with the sweater. You thought it was really cute how he walked around showing everyone the knife and how well it fit in your leg pocket for easy access and how the handle gripped nicely. It was more then the seldom one words he used or the growls and gruffs you usually got more of than most.

WRITERS BONUS

What I'd wear if I was the reader.

@glitterypirateduck I can't really place where my love for Ugly Sweaters came from BUT it's in one of my favorite KINDA Christmas holiday movies on the modern retelling of Pride and Prejudice.

Cosplay Guides - SPECGRU Volume 2

I'm back! This is the next batch of guides, using the poll that I've got up for guidance on which operators to make next.

I would be putting up KORTAC operators with this one but I've run into some technical difficulties on a few of the assets.

Standard caveats apply:

Some of what you may see may not be commercially available as it either might be government sales only, or not physically exist in that colour/pattern.

If you have any questions about what you see here, or any suggestions, corrections, or requests, please don’t hesitate to leave it as a note or in a reblog!

And please share this (and past and future) post around, so as many people can see it as possible. I want to share and spread this knowledge with as many as possible!

Additionally, I've opened up tipping, so if you like these resources and want to give back, I won't say no. Absolutely no obligation, and tips will not determine or affect the next characters chosen or the speed at which future guides come out.

Guides under the cut!

Depending when I can figure out these tech issues, I should have the KORTAC batch up in a couple of days.

[mg-dango]

One of my strongest CoD headcanons is that Las Almas is in Tamaulipas and I have my reasons to believe it Even if not, unfortunately I already spended 48 hours working on this so ehhh... Los vaqueros + Valeria and Chuy in cueras tamaulipecas, yayyy(?

[dailycowperson]

The Cowperson of the Day is: Jesus "Chuy" Ordaz from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II!

Portraits - Chuy

[captain-mj]

Lieutenants and up have to have a degree right? So what do you think Ghost or Konigs degree is

So using how the military works and what degrees are in demand, Ghost would be criminally justice and Koenig would be business. I'd hear our politics.

Assuming that doesn't matter and this is a cool world where they could've gotten anything, I still think Ghost would do criminal justice or Psychology, I could also hear most of the other sciences out. He's canonically a smart character and I just think it would suit him.

Koenig would probably go for something like History or Accounting. Something that opens doors for a ton of jobs that don't require people constantly being around.

You didn't ask, but Chuy would do folklore or religion

[zy-zyyiu]

[garfieldisbetterthanyou]

BRACKEN - CHUY

hmmm more art… i need sleep

[zombyaru]

I was thinking about a fanfic where Chuy will work for Rudy because I love him and I need fanfics with him, and my mind quickly turned that into a new ship... OK.
