dare i say shadow!roach with ur gravesroach thoughts?

omg I was literally just thinking of this hdjshfjiwid you have no idea how excited I was to see you say this, Santi!! This could be SUCH an interesting sub plot

I'm just thinking of the aftermath of Roach's almost death where he's picked up by Shadows and specifically being looked after by Graves

I understand Graves is a cocky backstabber, but his relationship with his Shadows genuinely does seem pretty wholesome, I can imagine if he got a new recruit he'd be a very attentive mentor ( I rewatched the scene in MWII where Graves keeps calling out to his downed Shadows and urging Shepherd to send backup for them, like he def cares for his men)

I was also thinking of having Graves be the one to teach Roach ASL because oof think of that extra internal conflict when Roach has to choose between helping the 141 and staying loyal to SC and specifically the man who helped him adapt to military life post-injury ughhhh

Literally, any Roach-centric pairing has me in a chokehold. Angst for days, I love it.

I feel like this could go either two ways:

Graves genuinely does care for Roach's wellbeing (as seen in canon with his actual shadows) and develops a close bond while helping Roach recover from his injuries (could lead to some interesting dynamics between Graves, the 141, and Shepherd)

or, Graves is fully on board with Shepherd's plan to use Roach as leverage against the 141 and only pretends to form a bond with him (just more trauma for Roach lol poor guy)

either way, they'd lead to some good conflict

and if you factor in the whole GhostRoach focus of this AU, I think adding a GravesRoach sub plot would be extra juicy (think of Ghost's reaction when he finds out Roach is alive and all personal with the commander of SC)

Roach being a little shit part:1

"it's like... Stockholm syndrome." Roach would say with a grin whenever someone questioned how he would ever like someone like Graves so much.

And Graves would flush in embarrassment as he hit Roach's side gently. "Don't say that-!" He snorted, speaking in a hushed tone.

They both knew Phil hadn't forced Roach to stay if he hadn't wanted to, but Roach loved being a little rascal to his counterpart.

seeing the gravesroach agere hc where graves hides it because he doesnt realise has made my brain worms work a little too hard

roach being selectively mute when he's big is a massive thing, everyone knows, they have learned to understand his grunts or his body language.

most kids get very frustrated when people can't understand their little babbles and noises, i imagine he wouldn't

since they already figured out what each noise means, what each garble indicates n such.

IDK IF ANY OF THIS MAKES SENSE THIS IS BRAIN MUSH BEING SPILLED OUT

anyway hes a very talkative little, which is a stark difference to when hes big, he has a lot to say. (even if its a bunch of gibberish)

this is real cos i say so and i am literally him

You're so right

He is talkative, even if it's not real words, when he's small !!

Graves knows Roach's signals and babbles, it doesn't take long for him to get what the little guy needs. Though it takes a minute sometimes to understand

Okay cw for hospital mentions but just thinking of like my cod oc Siren again ^_^

Just around the time she was abandoned by her own team with a broken leg and almost getting heat stroke before being found by shadow company.

But first night in the hospital, she's thinking about her old team.. remembering seeing that helicopter take off as she tried to crawl towards it. Obviously she's upset, and being in a hospital makes it slightly worse..

She just felt all fuzzy while in her hospital room, just flinching at any little sound around her as she clutches her blankets but she looks at her leg and just began sniffling. She's trying to hold back tears but really just can't.

She's just sitting alone in the room she's assigned to, regressing and trying not to cry as memories of her being left behind come flashing back to her in this state as she tried to get some rest but that just seemed so impossible for her.

She isn't even sure if she can trust this new team, she doesn't know if they'll kill her or not. She really isn't sure of anything but she began thinking of if she was deemed as missing or even dead by now, she can't be to sure.

Okay that's it I'm brainrotting blalalalalala -🐯

IM THINKING ANON IM THINKING

Idk if I have permission to add anything but I'm imagining something similar to how Graves was with Roach in my original GravesRoach fic ??

He'd be there, if not in the hospital room then around it.

I'm thinking about him coming in without knocking, expecting her to be asleep but instead he sees her all teary and scared :(

I think maybe he'd offer her drinks. Hot chocolate, water, lemonade, whatever he could find at the hospital, really. Or get the shadows to bring.

ALSO I JUST SAW YOUR LITTLE COMMENT ABOUT ROACH HOW DARE /aff

But oh my god. If Mactavish asked about Rowch to Soap with Ghost in the room it’d probably cause Ghost to shut down emotionally. Roach’s supposed death (going w/ ur GravesRoach au where Graves saved Roach but still had to fake his death) is a sensitive topic for Ghost as I imagine he was close by or injured and unable to save him. Roach was like another Brother to Ghost and the guilt of being unable to save another brother destroys him.

THE POTENTIAL.

Them being completely unaware of the fact that Roach is safe, and happy, but in shadow company... Unknowingly fighting friends.

That reunion would be bloody and tear filled

I imagine maybe Ghost and Roach would genuinely get into a fist fight, until each other were bloody, then hug and cry. With so so many sorries on both sides

I wonder how they'd react learning that Roach genuinely cares for Graves, and would try to explain how he just followed orders and was just as distraught about betraying them as they were about being betrayed.

(ignoring MWIII)

Ghost knows what it's like to have to follow orders he disagreed with, but also knows that Shepherd would slash anyone who stepped in his way. Which put in perspective why Graves did what he did. For his life, and his men.

Maybe that's why they didn't all die in Las Almas, because Graves knew what he was doing. He could've found them, he knew they're location I'd bet. But he didn't want to do it.
