dead dove time: this fic as a whole features a brief mention of a past suicide attempt, briefly graphic past child abuse (not CSA), past abuse of alcohol and present alcohol use, and at times dubious consent (consuming alcohol and engaging in sexual activities; dubcon voyeurism; dubcon sexting)

summary: soap and ghost start hooking up; soap and könig have apparently been hooking up; ghost doesn't know how to deal with it (eventual polycule)

preview: Ghost finishes his cigarette, stubs it out on the heel of his boot, and considers lighting another one when he hears Soap’s hissed whisper cut through the night like a blade.

“We have to be quick about it, I want to get some shut eye before wheels up at oh six hundred.” For all that Soap is whispering, he’s being rather conspicuous, Ghost thinks.

-

Ghost dreams. 

The kitchen isn’t one he can wholly place, it’s some hybrid his subconscious has painted in powder blue dawn with softened edges and anachronisms. Ghost sits at the kitchen table, a perfect replica of the military issued foldouts complete with matching, nondescript chairs. There’s even a still-smoking cigarette in a dirty ashtray and an abandoned game of blackjack on the table. 

But the kitchen is undoubtedly his childhood home, or one of them at least. He tracks a line of decorative blue tiles in the kitchen floor from beneath the foldout table to the cupboards, the countertops, the stove, the boiling pot. Steam plumes with a vengeance up, up, up into a rolling thunder cloud that overtakes the whole room. Cold, fat drops splatter onto Ghost’s face. He reaches to wipe the rain from his cheek and realizes as he stares at his own small hand that he is a child in this dream. 

The shadows grow sharp, and long. The boiling pot on the stove clatters and burns, and still the cloud keeps growing. In an instant, the gentle sanctuary of early mornings becomes something cruel with dreadful hands. Ghost shivers, tries to shield himself from the rain but finds he cannot move. He hears the sound of a lock clicking, the stumbling, drink-heavy boots clumsy in the entryway, in the living room, in the hall, right outside of the kitchen door. A perfect lightning storm of terror. 

He wakes, shaking, sweaty and his chest tight with panic. His balaclava is under his pillow; he pulls it on without thinking. It’s not often that he has these nightmares since joining SAS—there’s not much dreaming going on when you’ve been awake for over 72 hours, tweaked out on stims, body driven past the point of physical exhaustion. He sleeps like the dead, when he sleeps. 

Ghost doesn’t feel afraid, but his body does. He takes his heart rate, tries to breathe through it and wills the adrenaline away. The threat is neutralized. The threat has been neutralized for decades. Still, he rises from bed and grabs his pistol, his camels, and pulls on his boots, already in tomorrow’s tactical clothes. The clock reads oh two hundred. 

Outside, the air is cooler. He’s on base in the UK, a rare thing, staying the night in the BOQs for what will be an early departure for Turkey to clean up a handful of loose ends that Graves and Shephard left in the wake of their cover up. Makarov’s looming not far behind, likely has connections to more smuggled missiles somewhere in the Anatolian Peninsula. The road ahead of us is a long one, Price had said as he told them about Makarov. 

Behind the mess, in the quiet dark, Ghost lifts his mask over his nose and lights a cigarette. He crouches over the dusty concrete with his pistol and performs a basic reload drill, cigarette dangling from his lips while he puffs, his only source of light a dull yellow streetlamp on the road beside him. 

Ghost finishes his cigarette, stubs it out on the heel of his boot, and considers lighting another one when he hears Soap’s hissed whisper cut through the night like a blade. 

“We have to be quick about it, I want to get some shut eye before wheels up at oh six hundred.” For all that Soap is whispering, he’s being rather conspicuous, Ghost thinks.

Ghost draws back from the light of the streetlamp until he’s obscured in the shadows. Soap emerges, boots crunching on the asphalt, from the other side of the street with König not far behind, an operator Ghost had worked with in the past Laswell had contracted through KorTac. 

“But it is so rare that we are anywhere, together,” König whispers, and comes to a stop under the streetlamp in front of Ghost. “I don’t wish to rush.” 

His face is obscured by the helmet and veil, a tactical tablecloth Ghost once called it, but his eyes gleam in the lowlight as his gaze shifts restlessly from one side of the street to the other. Ghost steps further into the shadows, soundless. 

Soap turns to lay a hand on König’s forearm and has to look up, even craning his neck a bit, to meet König’s eyes.

“We won’t rush,” Soap says, a promise Ghost knows he can’t keep. 

Soap’s hand brushes palm down and firm to find König’s. He threads their fingers together and squeezes. König’s gaze is drawn to their joined hands and his back straightens as he stands at full attention, shoulders drawing back, a full head and a half taller than Soap now. 

“There he is,” Soap whispers. He releases König’s hand and continues walking. Towards the motor pool, Ghost realizes. 

König follows, still staring at the hand that Soap had grasped in an unspoken plea. 

Unnoticed, Ghost holds his breath as they pass. 

 -

Ghost knows what this is. 

Back in his quarters, he recalls his and Soap’s frantic life-affirming fumblings with a hand around his cock. The first time was after Las Almas, after Graves was dead. If Ghost had had it his way, it would have been at Alejandro’s safehouse, Rodolfo be damned. 

That first time had been frenzied, a tidal wave crashing against a breakwater. They were on the transport to Chicago, in the cargo hold. Soap had asked to speak with him privately, had practically dragged him into a secluded cubby behind a flimsy curtain, had reached for him and said, “Tell me you want this too.” Ghost could only nod once, dumbly. What followed was an intense handjob with a lot of eye contact while Soap rubbed off against his still clothed thigh.  

The second time was after Chicago, after the pub, in Soap’s hotel room. Ghost had removed his mask and watched as Soap puttered around, limbs loose and knocking against furniture while he prepared for bed.

“Easy Johnny,” Ghost had said after Soap hip checked a table and nearly sent a lamp crashing down. Soap’s eyes snapped up from where he was righting the lamp, as if he had forgotten Ghost was in his room. His eyes had widened then darkened as he took in Ghost’s bare face. Had stalked over to him to take his face between his hands and trailed soft fingertips from brow to cheekbone to lips, tracing scars and looking his fill. 

“Let me blow you,” Soap said as he pressed a finger past Ghost’s lips to press on his tongue and then dragged the spit wet digit down the line of his body to hook into his belt loop. Ghost, four bourbons deep, had said yes, please. Had returned the favor, happily, with Soap’s hands fisted in his hair. 

The memories make his blood sing and pulse in his ears. It had been an unspoken arrangement, born from adrenaline, no strings attached. A means to forget the blood and gore or maybe even relive it a little. They hadn’t discussed what it meant, if anything at all, in the larger scheme of things. What they did behind closed doors (or in secluded corners) to remind themselves that they were alive was their business alone. 

So it makes no bloody sense why Ghost’s teeth ache when he thinks about Soap and König and what they’re getting up to while he desperately strokes his dry cock, gasping into the pillow. 

Would König have Soap pressed up against the side of an ATV, his big hands gripping Soap’s hips while he grinds down against him? Or perhaps, Soap has König kneeling in the dirt at his feet, his cock buried to the hilt in König’s throat, hunched to accommodate their height difference; obedient.

Somehow, it’s worse to imagine it’s König holding Soap down, manhandling Soap into the exact right position to take his pleasure. Does Soap always like it hard and fast? Or would he keep his promise to König? 

Ghost bites down on his free wrist to relieve the ache in his jaw, the urge to draw blood rising in his throat and heating his face. He imagines König’s eyes staring up at Soap from behind the veil, lifted just so to let Soap in. Soap had liked to pull on his hair, that one time. What was he doing with his hands now? 

Ghost comes on his shirt, stripping his cock with the phantom sensation of Soap’s fingers carding through his hair, the feeling of Soap’s softening cock thick and heavy on his tongue. 

He’ll have to change shirts before wheels up.

Navigating the Maze: An In-Depth Look at Construction Industry Tenders

The construction industry is a colossal sector that builds the very foundations of our cities and societies. From skyscrapers to bridges, schools to hospitals, each project starts with a critical phase: the tendering process. Understanding how construction industry tenders work is essential for anyone involved in this field, whether you're a contractor, project manager, or stakeholder. This article delves into the intricacies of construction tenders, why they're crucial, and how to navigate them effectively.

What is a Construction Tender?

A construction tender is a formal invitation by a client (usually a government body or private entity) to contractors to submit proposals for a construction project. This process ensures that the best possible contractor is chosen based on a combination of cost, quality, experience, and other factors. The tendering process aims to ensure transparency, competitiveness, and fairness.

The Importance of Construction Tenders

Transparency and Fairness: The tendering process ensures that all interested contractors have an equal opportunity to bid. This transparency helps prevent favoritism and corruption.

Competitive Pricing: By inviting multiple contractors to bid, clients can compare various proposals and select one that offers the best value for money.

Quality Assurance: A thorough tendering process includes detailed criteria and specifications, ensuring that the chosen contractor meets the project's quality and safety standards.

Steps in the Construction Tendering Process

1. Project Planning and Tender Preparation

Before issuing a tender, the client must have a clear understanding of the project's scope and requirements. This involves detailed project planning, including:

Project Specifications: Detailed descriptions of the work to be performed, including materials, timelines, and quality standards.

Budget Estimates: An initial budget based on preliminary assessments.

Legal and Regulatory Requirements: Ensuring the project complies with all relevant laws and regulations.

Once the planning phase is complete, the client prepares the tender documents, which typically include:

Invitation to Tender (ITT): A formal invitation to contractors to submit bids.

Scope of Work (SOW): Detailed description of the work to be carried out.

Bill of Quantities (BOQ): A detailed list of materials, parts, and labor needed for the project.

Contract Terms and Conditions: The legal framework governing the contract, including payment terms, deadlines, and penalties for non-compliance.

Evaluation Criteria: The standards by which the bids will be assessed.

2. Advertising the Tender

To attract qualified bidders, the tender must be advertised widely. This can be done through various channels such as online tender portals, industry publications, and local newspapers. The advertisement should include essential information about the project and instructions on how to obtain the tender documents.

3. Receiving and Opening Bids

Interested contractors submit their bids by the specified deadline. To ensure fairness and transparency, the bids are typically opened in a public forum, and details such as the names of the bidders and bid amounts are recorded.

4. Evaluating Bids

Evaluating bids is a critical step in the tendering process. The evaluation team reviews each bid against the predefined criteria. Factors considered include:

Compliance with Specifications: Does the bid meet all the specified requirements?

Experience and Track Record: Does the contractor have a history of successfully completing similar projects?

Financial Stability: Is the contractor financially sound and capable of handling the project?

Project Approach and Methodology: How does the contractor plan to execute the project? Are their methods efficient and innovative?

Cost: While important, cost is just one of many factors considered. The goal is to find the best value for money.

5. Selecting the Winning Bid

After a thorough evaluation, the team selects the bid that best meets the client's needs. This decision should be documented, providing clear reasons for the selection. The successful bidder is then notified, and contract negotiations begin.

6. Contract Award and Project Execution

Once the contract is awarded, the contractor begins mobilizing resources to start the project. Effective project management and regular monitoring are essential to ensure the project stays on track and meets the agreed-upon standards. Regular site visits, progress reports, and stakeholder meetings help keep everything on course.

Best Practices for a Successful Construction Tendering Process

Clear and Detailed Documentation: The more precise and comprehensive your tender documents, the better the quality of bids you will receive. Clarity helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures that bidders fully understand your requirements.

Effective Communication: Maintain open and transparent communication with all potential bidders. Address any queries promptly and provide additional information if required.

Thorough Evaluation: Take the time to evaluate each bid thoroughly. Involve multiple stakeholders in the evaluation process to ensure a balanced and objective assessment.

Focus on Quality: Don’t be swayed solely by the lowest bid. Quality and reliability are crucial in construction, and a slightly higher cost might be justified if it ensures better service and fewer risks.

Regular Reviews: After awarding the contract, regularly review the contractor's performance. This helps address any issues promptly and ensures ongoing compliance with the contract terms.

Common Challenges in the Construction Tendering Process

Despite the structured approach, the tendering process is not without its challenges:

Complexity: The process can be complex and time-consuming, particularly for large-scale projects.

Bid Rigging: Despite measures to ensure fairness, there’s always a risk of bid rigging or collusion among bidders.

Balancing Cost and Quality: Finding the right balance between cost and quality can be difficult. The lowest bid isn’t always the best choice, especially if it compromises on quality or safety.

Conclusion

The construction tendering process is a vital mechanism that ensures projects are awarded to the most capable and reliable contractors. By adhering to a structured process and following best practices, clients can navigate the tendering process effectively, achieving the best outcomes for their construction projects. Remember, it’s not just about finding the cheapest contractor but the one that delivers the best value for money while maintaining high standards of quality and safety.

In the ever-evolving landscape of the construction industry, mastering the tendering process is crucial. It not only helps in building robust infrastructures but also fosters trust and reliability among stakeholders, paving the way for successful project completion and long-term partnerships.

Unlocking the Potential of BOQ (Bill of Quantity) & BOM (Bill of Material) in Your Business

In the realm of construction and manufacturing, efficiency and accuracy are paramount. One of the key tools that professionals in these industries rely on is the BOQ (Bill of Quantity) and BOM (Bill of Material). While they may seem like technical jargon to the uninitiated, understanding their importance and implementing them effectively can significantly streamline operations and boost productivity. Let's delve deeper into what BOQ and BOM entail, their differences, and how they can benefit your business.

What is BOQ?

BOQ, short for Bill of Quantity, is a comprehensive document that lists all the items, parts, and materials required for a construction project. It serves as a detailed inventory, specifying quantities, measurements, and specifications for each item needed. Contractors, project managers, and procurement teams rely on BOQs to estimate project costs accurately, create budgets, and procure materials efficiently.

Importance of BOQ

A well-prepared BOQ lays the foundation for smooth project execution. By itemizing all necessary materials and quantities beforehand, it minimizes the risk of oversights and discrepancies during the construction phase. This not only helps in accurate budgeting but also enables better planning and resource allocation, leading to cost savings and timely project completion.

Understanding BOM

On the other hand, BOM, or Bill of Material, is a crucial document in the realm of manufacturing. It provides a detailed breakdown of all the components, parts, and subassemblies required to manufacture a product. Each item in the BOM is listed along with its part number, description, quantity, and sometimes, the source or vendor information.

Significance of BOM

BOM serves as a blueprint for production, guiding manufacturers through the assembly process. By outlining the exact components needed for each product, it helps streamline procurement, inventory management, and production scheduling. Moreover, BOM facilitates quality control by ensuring that the right components are used in the manufacturing process, thereby reducing errors and rework.

Key Differences Between BOQ and BOM

While both BOQ and BOM serve similar purposes of listing required items, they cater to different industries and stages of the project lifecycle. The primary distinctions lie in their focus and application:

BOQ is specific to construction projects and focuses on materials needed for construction, renovation, or infrastructure development.

BOM, on the other hand, is tailored for manufacturing processes, detailing components required for assembling finished products.

Leveraging BOQ and BOM for Business Success

Integrating BOQ and BOM into your business processes can yield numerous benefits:

Enhanced Efficiency: By having a clear inventory of required materials or components, you can streamline procurement processes, minimize delays, and optimize resource utilization.

Cost Savings: Accurate estimation of material requirements and streamlined procurement can lead to cost savings by preventing overstocking, reducing wastage, and negotiating better prices with suppliers.

Improved Planning: With detailed documentation provided by BOQ and BOM, you can create realistic project timelines, allocate resources effectively, and mitigate risks associated with material shortages or production delays.

Quality Assurance: Ensuring that the right materials or components are used in construction or manufacturing processes enhances product quality, reduces defects, and enhances customer satisfaction.

Conclusion

In conclusion, BOQ (Bill of Quantity) and BOM (Bill of Material) are indispensable tools for businesses involved in construction and manufacturing. By providing comprehensive inventories of required materials and components, they enable accurate cost estimation, efficient procurement, and streamlined project execution. Leveraging these tools effectively can not only enhance operational efficiency but also drive cost savings and quality improvements, ultimately contributing to business success and competitiveness in the market.

BOQ or the Bill of Quantities is nothing but the brief paperwork made by cost consultants that provide knowledge about a particular project. This document provides accurate knowledge of the specific measurements of the materials likely to be used in a project. Quantities may be valued in numbers, area, volume, weight, or time.

This documentation is usually prepared after the panning and estimation is made regarding its structure specifications and final costs. Bill of Quantities is a document that is used in presenting the items, amount of labor, and materials to be used for construction purposes. It also provides to come to a mutual understanding between the clients and the main contractor.

A BOQ is a document prepared by usually the quantity surveyor or cost consultant, to locate the quantity and quality of a contractor?s job in relating to the construction of a structure.

An ideal BOQ has a fixed tabular shape, similar to the estimated cost form, but the difference is that the left corner ?rate ?column remains blank. The Estimated rates of the labor, items, and materials are filled later.

It is basically preparing to invite clients and investors, and later the contractor puts the final rates and amounts. On the proper mutual ground, these rates are to be finalized by both clients and investors.

Importance of BOQ

? It helps all the contractors to compare the items and materials price for better job opportunities. ? Bill of quantities provides a basic idea about a project by judging its quantities to tender. ? Bill of Quantities also evaluates the scope of a particular project. ? By using BOQ contract sum can be predicted. ? It provides the best basis for evaluation of the project, its tender comparison, and contract comparison.

Five pain points in ongoing construction for a customer

Once construction of your house begins a mixed feeling of uncertainty, anxiousness, frustration, and excitement sets in because you want everything to be managed properly having complete control of the ongoing process. Here are a few pain points one goes through while constructing your house.

Knowing your neighbor:

It is always nice to have good neighbors because when you construct your house, they are the ones who need to cooperate for the smooth execution of the project. In most cases, it becomes a challenge because they are in no mood to support the process. Rather, their priority in life changes, and they play a role of a Monitor questioning every move and activity that takes place on your plot of land. They will call you at odd hours to complain about how inconvenient you have made things for them. They will stop your Contractor and his team from working because they are not following the rules made by them. It is a huge challenge to manage them on a day-to-day basis. Sometimes, you start thinking about why you had to start construction.

To make it easy on yourself, it is very important for you to find a professional Contractor who can take care of these issues on his own rather than making it your headache.

Managing Government Departments:

Nothing moves without having to take care of people from local authorities. It can be people from the sanctioning authority, police, or NGT and you will be surprised meeting many more. They become regular guests monitoring the progress of your construction and very often showing you how the right process being followed can be seen as a deviation.

For every deviation they point out there is a fee to be paid and it is uncertain what the amount could be. It all depends on how good his mood is on that day.

You may not have budgeted these expenses because there is no thumb rule for you to derive at a figure.

Here again, you need a professional contractor who can manage these issues for you. Most of the time the Contractor being in this business gets into an understanding with a predefined amount to be paid to ensure smooth execution of the project.

Uncertainty of building material / Brand:

If you got into a turnkey arrangement with the Contractor and you are unable to visit the project site regularly, you are uncertain if the agreed material to be used is actually being used. Many Contractors try and cut corners to save that bit willing to compromise on quality and goodwill.

On the other hand, if you have brought a Contractor onboard where you supply the material and he brings his team to construct your home, you are still uncertain. Most of us do not have the needed knowledge to understand what the actual BOQ would be. You may think you are smart by keeping procurement in your control without realizing that the Contractor can be smarter by making that extra buck by pilferage or showing you quantities more than what is required or compromising on the actual quantity needed for a good structure.

To avoid these uncertainties, you need to find the right contractor who is willing to work on your project with a fixed sq. feet rate without future escalation. There needs to be a clear clause in the agreement being signed by you about escalation in price and the financial mechanism being followed in case an escalation is inevitable.

Daily/ weekly monitoring of your project progress:

Most of us are busy working and do not find the time to visit the site to monitor the progress though it is always at the back of our minds to know what is happening. You are constantly trying to find out by calling your Contractor and at most times you are made to believe that everything is in control though the reality could be different. Finally, when you find the time to visit your site, you are surprised to see something completely different from what you imagined. It is frustrating to be in that space.

To free you from these frustrations, professionally run companies have incorporated various methods where you know the developments either daily or on a weekly basis. It could be by installing CCTV cameras or images being sent to you through WhatsApp or similar platforms.

Project schedule:

When you are in discussion with a Contractor, amongst many queries, one of them is how long will it take to get your house completed. Most would assure you with a supersonic speed and timeline. You may want to complete your house before a festival, or a wedding and you have shared this desire with your contractor. He is there to assure you giving you the Gyan of how efficient his team is and reassure you not to worry.

The surprise awaits you. If the selection of your contractor is not right, finishing your Home Construction can become an uphill task because of various reasons. Many Contractors leave the project midway because he realizes that the rate at which they accepted the project is no more viable to them or there is a huge manpower shortage due to which he is unable to execute the project on time or their engineering capabilities are limited, and the project needs many corrections that delay the project.

The answer to avoiding this kind of a situation is to appoint a Contractor who has a delay clause in the agreement where the Contractor is willing to be penalized for any kind of delay unless it is due to natural calamities, Government ban due to environmental reasons or situations beyond one’s control affecting the entire industry.

Need of Bill of Qualities

Bill of Quantities (BOQ) is an essential document in construction projects, providing a detailed and organized list of materials, quantities, and prices required to complete a project. The purpose of the BOQ is to serve as a basis for obtaining accurate and competitive prices from contractors, as well as to provide a means of comparison between different tenders and contracts. The following are some of the reasons why BOQ is crucial in construction projects. Construction Cost Estimate

Cost Estimation: A BOQ provides an accurate estimate of the costs involved in a project. It includes the quantity of materials, labor, and equipment required to complete the work, as well as the prices of each item. This information helps project owners, engineers, and contractors to make informed decisions about the budget and allocate resources appropriately.

Contractual Basis: A BOQ serves as the contractual basis between the project owner and the contractor. The BOQ defines the scope of work, materials, and quantities required for the project, and provides a reference for payment and settlement of claims.

Improved Communication: A BOQ promotes clear and effective communication between the project owner, engineers, and contractors. The BOQ provides a detailed description of the work required and helps to eliminate misunderstandings and disputes.

Procurement: BOQ is an essential tool in the procurement process, allowing project owners and contractors to obtain competitive prices from suppliers. The BOQ provides a detailed list of materials and quantities required, which helps suppliers to provide accurate quotes and reduces the risk of errors and overcharging.

Project Monitoring: BOQ helps in project monitoring and control. It provides a record of the quantities of materials and labor required, and helps to keep track of the actual costs incurred during the project. This information can be used to identify and rectify cost overruns and to make adjustments to the budget as required.

In conclusion, the BOQ is a vital document in construction projects, providing an accurate cost estimate, serving as a contractual basis, improving communication, aiding in procurement, and assisting in project monitoring and control. It is crucial for project owners, engineers, and contractors to invest the time and resources necessary to produce a comprehensive and accurate BOQ.

Hi! I’m the previous anon from before bringing suggestions for the token straight boys, and I’d like to add on the malcom subban train that if you wanted to add a prior pricey/PK subplot at any point he would have been a good supportive little brother but

if not just him and flower being goalie buddies is gonna be a fun time plus he’s a younger player so he’s probably more in touch with what’s going on with Kirby/boqi stuff. But also he’s a goalie and they are all knowing.

Pricey/PK runs a risk for me you see... This is how it goes in my head PK and Pricey join the GC because they love each other Cale Makar and Carter Hart discover that Carey Price is Into Men™ Cale and Carter break up and spend the rest of their lives chasing after Pricey. Don't @ me. it's what would happen ok. IT'S WHAT WOULD HAPPEN. ALSO if he DOES know what is going on with Dach/Boq like, can he drop me a line and lmk? Because I don't have a fucking CLUE
