@forestshadow-wolf Had asked about Duo Fatui, and you know what? Fuck it! Have what will eventually be the opening to the fic ❤

Ghost and Soap are placed on desk duty for a year after an op gone sideways. They decide to make the best of it.

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Captain price roared as he stormed into the med bay.

Soap and Ghost were both laid up in separate cots, on either side of the room. Both now stared at him, wide eyed after his outburst.

"Sir," Ghost started but Price was not going to hear him out.

"No! Soap, what the hell were you thinking?!"

"Sir," Soap attempted to speak but Price cut him off as well.

"What the fuck were you thinking, giving a civilian your plate carrier?" Price seethed.

"Sir, he had important intel, we couldn't afford to lose him, and our route to exfil was taking heavy fire." Soap spit out his words quickly, probably to avoid being cut off again.

"Exactly sergeant, heavy fire that you took! You were shot, and you're a hell of a lot more important than some random scientist!" Price could feel his face getting red as he yelled. "And you!" He turned to face Ghost. "Now you're out of commission, because of his bloody fuck up!" He gestured sharply at a pouting Soap.

"We're the same blood type, I wasn't about to lose him over something I could easily help with, Captain." Ghost said flatly. To anyone else it would seem like Ghost was calm, detached even. Price could tell he was holding back his own anger.

Price found himself pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration. He wasn't actually angry at them. Soap had saved a man with insanely useful information. Ghost had saved Soap. He was angry that he hadn't been there to protect them himself. He was angry that he almost lost two of the best soldiers there ever were. Two of his men. He was angry that now they were both one kidney lighter. The transplant wouldn't take too long to heal, but the risk of rejection or infection meant he could still lose them. "One year." That garnered confused looks from both men.

"Um, no boss, the surgeon said-" Price cut Ghot off again, further souring the man's mood for sure.

"That the risk of rejection and infection will be significantly reduced after six months. I am placing you both on desk duty for one year, starting the day you get discharged from med bay." A horrified silence filled the room. "I hope you boys can find a way to keep yourselves entertained while Gaz, Roach and I pick up your slack." It may have ben a bit harsh, but he needed them to understand how important their lives were. To the world, to the team. To him. With that, he left the room.

***

"Ah'm sorry, Ghost."

"Shut it, Johnny."

"Ah am though."

"No." Ghost opened his eyes and leaned forward, looking at his hands. After Price had stormed in, ripped them a new one, and stormed out, he had leaned back in his bed and closed his eyes in an attempt to dissuade the rising rage. "If we're sorry, Price wins. That crabbit old man can kiss my arse. We did the right things."

"Hmmm... I have an idea." Ghost finally looked over to Soap again, urging him to continue with his eyes. "We're gonna be stuck on base for a whole year, aye?"

"Aye..." Ghost was unsure where this was going.

"We should do something unhinged, something incredibly stupid and pointless, every day. We'll have some random recruit record it, someone different every day if we can. At the end of the year, we'll play it on a projector in the mess for the whole base to watch." Soap was grinning at him. "Show Price what happens when you bench two of the craziest son's o' bitches in the SAS.'

It felt like a bad idea. Like making a deal with the devil. Like it would at least make the year of bullshit ahead of them go by faster. "I'm listening..."

It’s Christmas, a time for joy and happiness, but with her family gone and her marriage over, Sienna Naples is having trouble finding joy in the season. When a friend publishes an ad in the local paper saying Sienna is looking for a husband as a joke, she paints on a smile. Until single father Guy Maple shows up answering the ad. His daughter has stage-five chronic kidney disease and needs a kidney transplant. Guy needs to show that he can afford Emma’s anti-rejection medicine in order to be approved to be on the list. A heart-breaking story that Sienna can’t turn down. I’m a fan of this author’s and have enjoyed all of her previous novels. Their light-hearted humor and sweet small town romances were easy to read and totally enjoyable. The Christmas You Found Me has the same sweet small town, and there is some light-hearted humor but this story has a lot more depth and feeling than her previous novels. The story was rich, moving, and I couldn’t help but fall in love with all the characters. Yes, it was a little insta-love, but the fact that this family needed each other so much was really moving and Emma’s story in particular was heart-breaking and imbued the book with love. At the end of the book was an author’s note about Sarah Morgenthaler’s husband dying suddenly and the tough time she’s had that made this shift in emotional content make complete sense and hopefully was cathartic. I know it made me feel all sorts of things both comfortable and uncomfortable and I really appreciated the journey. There were so many things I loved about this book. I liked that Sienna was recovering from a horrible divorce and that this small family’s need filled her heart. I liked that Guy and Emma were puzzle pieces that fit into Sienna’s life right from the start but that the story moved slowly so that you could really feel all the emotions this author put into the plot. There were quirky townies that hopefully will get their own stories, and plenty of small town feel for those of you who love those small town romances. This novel was different but hit all the right notes. I really liked it. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❣️ I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review and it was honest.

Had to draw a thing about organ transplants and trafficking. Took some notes about it too cause why not.

Did this partially because of the meat garden episode from the Magnus archives.

It was mostly about the middle east as it was for my middle eastern literature class, so yeah.

Notes and some interesting quotes are down below. The main source I used was "The Red Market:On the Trail of the World's Organ Brokers, Bone Thieves, Blood Farmers, and Child Traffickers" by Scott Carney.

If you want to read it yourself it's a pretty good book, you should be able to find a PDF of it pretty easily!

_____________________________________________________________

•Organ donors oftentimes are impoverished and sell their organs commercially to make money to feed themselves, afford rent etc.

•A migrant put the issue this way "If you cannot find work when you get to Egypt, you will not find mercy. This is why people sell their kidneys."

•In Egypt, an organ seller will receive 2000$ while a buyer will pay 2000$.

•Refugees are especially vulnerable to organ trafficking because of a lack of legal protection.

•People in underdeveloped countries often view their organs in the same way one might view social security or unemployment benefits- as a safety net.

•One woman who was, in essence, scammed out of her kidney, alleged a police complaint about the fraud. When the police attempted to arrest the broker for organ trading, the police also tried to arrest the donor for selling her kidney. The broker was let off with a warning.

• "Flesh... Moves up the social hierarchy, not down" (Carney 53)

•"In America, it is taboo to suggest US transplant centers are in the business of buying and selling organs. They're here to save lives." (Carney 56)

Stylized gore warning for all of you that are new to here.

Sources and the picture are under the cut.

Here are my sources in big fancy mla format cause why not

[lets-donate-a-kidney]

Reasons Why You Might NOT donate a kidney

Your medication requirements aren't compatible

After donating a kidney, you may have to change the medication you take to minimize stress on the remaining kidney. For instance, all kidney donors are supposed to avoid NSAIDs like ibuprofen, Aleve and aspirin, and to take Tylenol (acetaminophen) instead. You may also have other medications (including psychiatric meds) that would need to be changed.

If you aren't able to take Tylenol or find substitutes for other medications, it may be worth thinking long and hard about whether donation is right for you. Your physician and psychiatrist will be able to give you more information if needed.

You're scared of needles or blood

You will get your blood drawn a lot in the process of donating an organ, and may also get an IV drip after surgery.

You're nervous about surgery

That's valid! All surgeries and anesthesia do carry risks. The risk of long-term complications from donating a kidney is very low, but it's your body and your choice, period.

Your family has a history of kidney disease, or you already have just one kidney.

Some people are born with only one! Or if you think there's a good chance you'll need two, it's totally rational not to donate one.

You've had issues with painkiller addiction in the past

After surgery, you may have a morphine or fentanyl drip in the hospital, and you're likely to be prescribed an opioid painkiller. The amount of painkillers is normally not enough to create a physical dependency. But for some people in addiction recovery, this may still be concerning.

If this worries you, I highly recommend discussing this topic with your physician and the surgeon, and following their advice. Medical professionals in the USA cannot report you to law enforcement for using illegal substances.

Any other medical conditions that make you a bad candidate

Your own health is important, and it might also affect whether your kidney would be viable in someone else's body.

You'll get scanned to hell and back during the screening process, so if there's any medical issues that would get in the way, the transplant team will tell you. They will NOT remove your kidney if they believe the surgery or loss of the kidney could harm your health later.

You want to make a connection with someone

Yeah...don't go into this process expecting it to change your life, or win you lots of praise, or hoping to meet the recipient (if you donate to a stranger like I did). What if your recipient turns out to be someone you don't like? What if you stay in touch but the kidney fails after a few years? What if you were hoping to feel better about yourself, but a month after surgery you realize you're still the same old you?

(Personally, I do feel like it changed my life for the better, and some people do form strong relationships with their recipient after the transplant. But people can have a lot of different reactions. Nothing is guaranteed.)

I chose not to contact or receive contact from my recipient, or to hear follow-up reports of how they were doing. I didn't want them to feel indebted to me, or for me to unwittingly place expectations on them. You might choose differently, which is valid - but make sure you'd be okay with not ever hearing from the recipient, too.

You can't afford it

This isn't always a hurdle. If you donate through the National Kidney Registry, for instance, they'll try to compensate you for any lost wages during your surgery and recovery period. You won't bear the cost of surgery or follow-up appointments, either. At least, that's how it is in the USA.

However, I did have to take time off work to go to the pre-surgery appointments. I did have to buy extra groceries for before and after the surgery, an abdominal binder and robe, and a few other costs. If I get medical complications later in life, I will have to pay for those either out of pocket or with health insurance. These may still be serious considerations for you.

You can't take enough time off to recover

My surgery team recommended two weeks off work - even though I work from home. They also wanted me to have someone present to drive me to and from the hospital, and to stay with me for the first few days after surgery. Your own job, childcare needs, or transportation/living assistance needs may impact your ability to do this.

You just plain don't want to

As I said, it's your body, your choice. You never, ever have to undergo surgery and give away part of your body for someone else. Even if you love that person and they're in pain. A donated organ should be a gift given freely, and gladly, not a source of fear or worry for you.

If you aren't able or willing to donate yourself, there are still many ways you can help people in need:

You could donate blood or plasma, which regenerate over time and don't require surgery.

You could help a prospective kidney donor by offering childcare while they're in the hospital, transportation assistance, or helping them recover after surgery.

You could register as an organ donor on death, so that your body isn't affected at all while you're alive. In the USA, only 60% of adults are registered as organ donors even though 90% support postmortem organ donation.

You can spread awareness of how organ donation works! Many people don't realize that they can donate a kidney, even without an intended recipient. Or they might believe it's more dangerous or debilitating than it actually is. By sharing educational resources about it, you can still increase the likelihood of more patients getting kidneys.

The story begins in 2020. Except it doesn't. The story begins in 2005, with a trip with a shaky hand. It begins with a doctor telling my father that he won't live to see me walk the stage. It begins in 2012 with a 'fatty liver'. It begins in Dec 2012 with a phone call. With multiple organ failure. With a coma. It begins with the alcoholism and the anger getting worse. It begins with a lot of arguing. It begins. The story begins in Dec 2013 a suicide attempt the day I moved out. The story begins because it never ends. It begins and begins and begins. Organ failure, brain damage. It begins in a hundred different doctor's offices. 'I know you don't drive, but you'll get there faster than the ambulance will get here.' The story begins with the dialysis machines failing. The story begins in the ER, where they rush him back without checking our insurance first. The story begins with organ failure and appointments about transplants, knowing that he will never be a candidate and that even if he was- the drugs cost 10k a month. The story begins with his throat so swollen he can't breathe. They want to take his tonsils out. The surgery will kill him. Not breathing will kill him.

The story begins in 2020. They're shutting the border between the US and Canada. My father tells me to go. I have been working his job for him for weeks, he will have to go back to it. It begins with us acknowledging that I may never see him alive again. He tells me I have been putting my life on hold for him for 7 years, but if I don't make it across that border to my wife- we don't know when it opens again. The story grows quiet until it doesn't. He's losing weight still. He can't eat still. They're stretching his throat. They want to start dialysis. They want to do exploratory surgery, he doesn't. The story grows quiet until it doesn't. Several years after it was initially suggested- they finally agree that the risk of not doing the surgery is higher than the risk of doing it. They're going to take his tonsils out. The day of, one of the team pulls out, says he can't do this. The story grows quiet until doesn't. The story grows quiet until the risk grows higher. I am supposed to go home at the beginning of September. But my employer sits me down at the end of July and tells me that the end of August will be my day with them. I need to find a job. I can't afford that vacation anymore. I am supposed to go home at the beginning of September but instead I find a family that wants me for September, and a family that wants me starting in December. We move my flight to October. The story quivers in August. He tells me that they've agreed to do the surgery, but first, they need to do something to his heart. They need to operate on him for two whole days. He is going to die, but he will be in the hospital, which is the best place for something to go wrong. He is confused. It's just a stress test. They're keeping him for two days because his kidneys are so weak they want to slowly leak the necessary poison into him. He is gifted with foresight. The stress test never happens, he almost dies, they have to operate. It takes two days. I have a new job. One that is only supposed to last a month. I am coming home after it. We're supposed to go on vacation. He is going to get his tonsil surgery after all. I ask him if I need to come home sooner. He tells me no. He tells me he's sorry that we won't go on vacation. That we won't make it to the beach like he's been promising for years. The story explodes in September. He is going to get his tonsil surgery. I ask him if I need to come home sooner- he has me move my flights a week or so early so that I can be home when he gets out of the hospital. My September employers agree. He is going to get his tonsil surgery earlier than expected. I ask if I need to come home. I am told no. He does not wake up from surgery. They keep him alive on machines. I ask if I should come home. They tell me no. This is normal. They also tell me they found cancer. I ask if I should come home. He rips out his tubes. They sedate him again. He wakes up again. They agree to take the tubes out. He is hopeful. I ask if I should come home sooner. He tells me no, my flight is so soon. He'll see me in a week. He'll see me in a week. He'll see me in a week. My flight is on Sunday. He calls me on Wednesday delirious with pain. . He calls me on Thursday. He does not call me on Friday. He has a heart attack. My sister overrides his DNR. He has been without oxygen for over half an hour when they manage to revive him. The ER leaves me on hold for hours. When Calvin finally answers the phone, he tells me he forgot about me. I ask if I need to move up my flight. He asks when it is. He tells me there's no point in moving my flight. I buy funeral clothes. I fly home on Sunday. I make the decision on Monday. We give everyone until Tuesday to say their goodbyes. No one comes. They want to hold onto their last happy memories of him. They do not let us stay.

Saw that pathetic hater of yours. She is jealous of your Lin Kuei tattoo because she can't get it herself. She is also jealous that you can buy comissions... wow people are so petty... Don't worry love. You're amazing. I love your page and your dedication towards Sub-Zero and Reptile. Fuck them haters 😁

Let’s discuss some of this, I’ve had a ridiculously difficult life medically and I have had to fight for my life so many times I deserve nice things. Just like all you lovelies deserve nice things. Hating me because I have to means to obtain them is just like you said petty. Before my kidneys started failing I worked very hard, very long hours at a job that was very stressful that I loved quite a bit. I HATED having to quit when I got so sick, I hated having to rely on my parents and my partner at 30 something years old but life didn’t give me a choice in the matter. I’ve always tried to make the best out of a bad hand in life, the tattoo was a gift from my partner for the 25th anniversary of my heart transplant. A tattoo I had wanted since I was a teen but had never gotten because my tattoos prior to my Lin Kuei one were to cover my scars from years of open heart surgeries because insurance considers scar removal or medical tattoos frivolities that they won’t cover. So, when my partner got a bonus that was his present to me, was the tattoo I had wanted for years. As for being able to afford commissions, well I made wise investments when I worked and I use my investment dividends to commission artists, or buy Mortal Kombat related things. I don’t get a lot of money from my investments, maybe $150 every three months but I save that money so it’s there when I do want to use it. So, maybe instead of hating someone they don’t even know they should learn that person’s story and why they’re the way they are. I don’t judge people, ever because I don’t know what they’ve been through and what things are like for them, I wish people showed me the same curtesy. It sounds to me like this person needs to look inside and fix what makes them so miserable that they have to lash out at others who appear to have things better than they do that are in actually suffering from kidney failure and chronic heart failure. Make no mistake I try and show you lovelies the good and positive side of my life and keep the horrible agonizing shit to myself because I don’t like worrying people, but I promise my life is a shitshow. I really hope they get some help, this level of hate or jealousy isn’t healthy for anyone.
