Something something something post mw3, Nikolai being there to comfort Ghost after the 'incident'. Pushing the man to literally breakdown, emotionally, physically, mentally. Fists slamming into the Russian, only glancing off the more fatal strikes. Letting the Ghost crumble and fall apart until all that is left is a broken Simon. Laid bare and shattered before the Russian. Laid like a broken vase for the man to slowly put back together into a facsimile of what he once was. Always patiently waiting with silver lacquer to fill in the gaps. Slowly bleeding flakes of gold. Slowly adding and taking away. The need to make Simon into Ghost. But not the old Ghost he used to be, but призрак. Not a new one, not completely changed. Just, slightly different. A bit more gold than silver. The Russian always was partial to gold. Kintsugi? Is that what it was called?

In other words, how the seven hells did that bleed into yandere Nikolai. 🤔

my chest CLUTCHED Lia this is beautiful... 😭 Nikolai is like a wall they can always rely on. I'm sure he'd be there for all of them after the incident. Although Price might be harder to... Manage. But I love this so much. A bit more gold than silver... 🥹🫶

since we're talking post mw3 do we think Nikolai would take the matters into his own hands and go after the man himself? I've always liked that idea. And since Price is already off the rails maybe they can work together on it. Not bothering with the legality of it, just two men on a hunt, off the grid, on a mission to get the job DONE. Nothing is off limits. Full on feral Price and his only anchor to the world, slightly less feral, Nikolai.
