For WIP Wednesday!

Scarlet in MWII after the "Alone" mission! She ended up with Soap after the betrayal, hiding from the sights of the PMC's, as the two got injured badly and Scarlet's attention went towards Soap's arm, much to her constant worry.

WIP Wednesday, but this time it's long as fuck

Still on that Hesh Whump lmao

-

Riley's barking in the distance. Only, Riley isn't in the distance. Hesh can see him, right here: a blurred mass of yapping, whining fur. It's weird. He shouldn't sound so far when he's so close... And what's he barking for...? Riley doesn't bark for nothing...

The confusion of it all only makes the stabbing pain in his head worse.

"Riley? What's- Shit! Hesh!?" He could recognise that soft rasp anywhere, even with his ears feeling like they were stuffed with cotton. Logan's here. And Hesh is on the floor.

Floor. Why is he on the floor?

Logan's already crouched beside him as his head clears up a little, and in all honesty, if anyone had to see him like this, he's glad it's Logan. He wasn't sure how any of the Ghosts would have reacted (and boy, what a great list of first impressions he would have started racking up) and lord fucking knows how Elias would have reacted. Definitely the last thing Hesh needed to do was to stress him out more. Logan was the second best option. The best option being that noone saw him like this.

Well, beggars can't be choosers.

"Logan-" He manages to sit himself up a little, relieved when Logan supports him with an arm around his back.

"What the hell happened?"

"Fuck- I dunno... I just... kinda fell?"

The hand on his back shifts, and Logan gives a puzzled look before suddenly his pressing his other hand to Hesh's forehead, icy contact taking him by surprise. Were his hands always so cold...?

"Shit, you're burning up!" That explains it. It being just about everything. The aches, the chills, the headache, the... falling. His arm gets thrown over Logan's shoulder as he tries to pull Hesh up from the floor. "I'm taking you to-"

"No, m' fine, Logan... Just... Help me get to my room?"

"Hesh-"

"Please. Please, Logan, I'm... I just need sleep..." It's probably the most pitiful he's looked and sounded in a long time, and he must look scarily close to a kicked puppy because Logan relents almost immediately, deflating a little befoee giving him a hardened glare.

"Fine, but I reserve the full right to drag your ass to med at any pont, got it?" Logan grumbles, and despite his irritation, he's careful when he helps Hesh up, supporting him all the way back to his room, with Riley hot on their heels.

His bed is, admittedly, nicer than the floor. Not by a wide margin, but enough to feel at least a little more comfortable. Riley hopped up alongside him, head resting on Hesh's thigh as he whined softly. 

"Fuck... everything hurts..."

"Wonder why that is." Logan huffed, "You said you just needed sleep, so sleep. I'm gonna see if I can get something for you. Even if you're not going to med, you're taking something for that fever." 

"Okay, dad."

"Speaking of, I'll let dad kn-"

"Don't!" He pleads immediately, startling both Riley and Logan. "I'm fine. Dad doesn't need to know-"

"You almost passed out in the hallway, Hesh!"

"He's got other shit to deal with... I don't need to add onto it,"

"Swear to fucking..." Logan grumbled, pinching the bridge of his nose with a sigh. "Fine. But you get any worse and I'm getting dad." He wasn't about to argue, it was either this or Logan would go get him now, and that's the last thing he wanted. He gives a weak, sheepish nod, and then Logan is gone, shutting the door softly behind him.

Let's do some wip's for @onlycodcanjudgeme 's wip wednesday!!! Got two for you guys today! First one is sfw from the CEO/Single Parent AU! Below the cut is NSFW from the next part of the camboy au!

SFW CEO/Single Parent AU:

NSFW Camboy AU:

[artdrawsok]

It is Time for WIP Wednesday

For this, I'll be giving small tidbits of lore + a few concept design images (censored as best I could) for the COD Ghosts Monster AU. (It's taking a while)

LORE:

Monsters in this world are normal, so seeing a vampire going to the store isn't anything new. However, cryptids such as Mothman are still urban legends (haven't been confirmed to be real or not real basically).

Ajax didn't originally know he was a phoenix so the reveal was...entertaining, to say the least.

Logan is ftm (female to male) trans. Everyone is supportive of this, do not worry!

Merrick was born a vampire but stopped ageing at 41 years old. He's still salty about it to this day. He was in his 20s during WW1 times so, Merrick is the eldest. Technically.

Kick can bite people affectionately without venom.

Hesh has been banned from several campgrounds for scaring people in his werewolf full form.

THE CONCEPT IMAGES ARE BELOW WAAA

[alidravana]

It's that time of the week!

And I haven't participated the last two weeks I think, which is super strange. So have a snippet of the most random magic AU that sprung to my mind the other day:

Both of his parents thought that powers matched personalities.  His dad’s power was of premonition, able to see seconds, minutes, or sometimes years into the future.  He used it wisely as a soldier, and cautiously as a father, often able to shoot out an arm to stop a tumble or two as the boys hiked through the forest.  His mother’s power was fire, and considering how one of the lasting memories Hesh had of her was how warm her arms were wrapped around him, he figured that one made sense too.

Not Hesh’s powers.  If Hesh’s power matched his personality, it would be like his anger, his passion.  His power would be explosive, incendiary, ripping into everything, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.  

Hesh’s power was nothing like that.

WIP Mason's Legacy Chapter 4 drawing!

I don't know if this would be considered a ⚠️Spoiler⚠️ but I was so happy how the sketch it turned out!

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Nffkfjdjf It's been a long time without drawing Abby, and maybe this sounds a little bit cruel but I love drawing the blood, it's so fun! Although I still working on how liquids work haha

Anyway I hope it turns out well and it doesn't end up in the "drawings that I never finished and I won't never finish" file 😂

ALSO I'M SUPER EXITED FOR THIS CHAPTER OMG!

[welldonekhushi]

For @onlycodcanjudgeme's WIP Wednesday, here is something that I'm currently working on right now! ;)

[onlycodcanjudgeme]

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Saw this on a friend's page, and thought why not, this could be fun. The game is to summarize one of your WIPs (art included) badly in a single sentence!

Kicking us off is one of our admins' attempts:

A typical afternoon filled with 'friendly' snowball fights and PTSD flashbacks.

Tagging a few of our followers to play along (but please join in if you'd like to): @cassandras-nest, @sleepyconfusedpotato, @lisbetadair, @satan-incarnate-666, @vvh1sk3y, @xwendigox!

[callofdooty]

Wip Wednesday Time, I got whumpril fics in the works. Here's one of them! A little Hesh whump, as a treat :)

-

"Yeah, Logan said you were planning on keeping this a secret," Elias sighed, and Hesh only feels all the more awful about it. As if sensing it, or even just straight up reading his mind, he continued, "I'm not angry. I just want to know what's going on with you. Why'd you want to hide this from me?"

"You had too much to worry about..."

"David, I'm always gonna worry about you. You're my son. There's never a time where I'm not worried about you and your brother."

"I know, I know, but- Jesus, I'm twenty-eight! I should be able to take care of myself. Not relying on my little brother or my damned dad like a kid anymore."

"Hesh, you relying on us is not a weakness." Oh boy. That's a sterner tone of voice all of a sudden. "When I brought you and Logan up, I wanted you to be able to rely on each other when you needed it. One day, I won't be around anymore, and it makes me feel a hell-of-a-lot better to know that you'll be able to get through hardships together."

"There's never any shame in letting your team help. That's what a team does, we look out for and support each other."

His mind immediately goes back to Ajax. The way Merrick and Keegan had spoke of him, the way they handled him in death... The closeness of the Ghosts, how they so obviously and openly care for their own... It reminds him of his own family, and knowing now that Elias had at least some hand in shaping these men into who they are, it's only become more clear. He can see the same teachings, same guidance, playing out in front of him. They're strangers, but they already feel so familiar.

"I know you prefer to be strong for others, and I wouldn't want you to be any other way, but you're not invincible, David. A man obsessed with his pride will eventually be a detriment. To himself and his team."

[onlycodcanjudgeme]

A potential option for some to help encourage you to finish that WIP! This is a great event :)

FAQ

What is the WIP Big Bang? Good question! This is a Big Bang with one goal in mind: to clean out your fanfic drafts folder. These are stories that were unfinished for whatever reason, that authors returned to and completed, and the art that goes with them!

Do I need a Livejournal/Dreamwidth/AO3/etc. account to participate? No! You don’t have to have an account on anything to participate, though you will need to have somewhere to post your finished work. Having one or more accounts will help for you to follow what is going on with the bang (we crosspost to Dreamwidth, Tumblr, and sometimes Twitter at the moment), but they are not required to participate. You can always leave comments anonymously or with an opensource ID.

How many fics can we sign up for? We absolutely don’t mind multiple sign-ups. I know one year someone submitted 50 fics to finish, and got at least half of them done. We just ask that when you sign up with more than one fic you give each fic a unique user ID (please do not use the same ID for all your fics...it’s important to have different IDs for the check-ins).

Will I get emails about the bang? We do send out some emails, mostly for snippets and art claims and to ensure communication between authors and artists, but please do NOT rely on getting an email to remind you of due dates. We currently do not keep an updated email list of participants, so we only send individual emails as needed rather than mass emails.

However, email is the fastest way to communicate with the mods. If you have any questions or are having trouble communicating with your artist/author, please do email us! We will do our best to respond quickly.

What do you mean by minimum word count to enter? This is a WIP Big Bang, therefore we ask you to have at least 500 words of your story drafted when you enter.

Can an outline count towards those first 500 words that are needed at sign up? We have admitted work on an outline before so yes, if your outline is fleshed out enough to cover a 7,500 word+ fic, we’ll allow it.

Are multi-chapter fics allowed? Yes, multi-chapter fics are allowed and even more so encouraged if your fic is lengthy.

What about fics that are already posted on ao3 in part? Do those qualify for the bang? It's okay if you have posted a few chapters of your fic already (you never know when the muse deserts you, after all), we just require you to refrain from posting more until posting begins here. All we ask is that you not post any public updates to the fic until August 1st (or July 1st with the mod’s okay). We don’t want you to lose kudos and comments so don’t worry about pulling the fic down, just hold off on updates for now.

Is there a minimum word count? 7,500 words for each finished fic, but the sky's the limit, right?

I see that the fic minimum is 7500 words and that published WIPs are acceptable - but what if the WIP I’m considering is already more than 7500 words? Is the expectation to add an additional 7500 to it? No. You can add as much or as little as you need to finish the story, though we do expect at least 1,000 or so new words if your WIP already meets the word count.

What happens if an author finishes the fic they signed up with but it’s less than 7,500 words? The intent was to go over the minimum but once they got into it the story was shorter than they thought and stretching it out would make it less good. Do they have to drop out at that point? By all means, we want your stories to feel as natural as possible, and if it’s under 7,500 words you may have two options:

1 - Drop the fic for the main BB event, post it now, and wait to post it to our AO3 collection in February when we run our International Fanworks Day celebration of finishing fics that are less than 7,500 words when finished. There’s no art for the fic, but bragging rights are posted to the communities for a week.

2 - If there are enough fics that fit that category, we can do a special day of posting the fics, but you’ll have to forgo art for the fic. I, as a mod, would probably pick October 31st for the posting day, as it’s the last day of posting for the bang and I don’t think anyone will mind more than one fic that day. You can post bragging rights to the community and share the fic with everyone.

Is there anything not allowed? As long as you wrote it and you want to finish it, you're welcome to participate. RPS/RPF is fine. Incest pairings are fine. Things like that I know have been hinted at in questions asked and as long as you tag for them, we’ll allow it. Also, canon settings with mostly OCs is allowed. We just ask that it be tagged properly with any content warnings you would deem fit and be given the appropriate rating for the level of sex/violence there is in the fic.

Just bear in mind that original work is not allowed; there is another BB for unfinished original work and we don’t want to step on their toes.

I have a fic I wrote a few years ago, but only the first couple chapters are posted on AO3 because I was never happy with the rest of it and knew it needed major revision. Is that something I could use for WIP Big Bang? The entire fic has been posted, but only on one platform, and it would be rewritten for AO3 and WIPBB. I think revising a fic for posting would work, as long as you have at least 500 words done, will have 7,500 words at a minimum when it’s done, and are planning to add more to the fic. Simply rewriting what you have would be a gray area, but if you’re going to take stuff out and add new scenes, either in the old scenes place or on your own, you should be fine.

What's the etiquette around OC-centric stories? Ones that are set in a well known fandom and use several characters, but still lean a lot on original characters? Are they discouraged, or fine? Based on my own personal experience making art for a story that had a heavy OC presence, it’s not something we discourage at all, but be forewarned when it comes to the art accompanying your fic your artist may not be able to incorporate the OCs into your art. Not everyone makes art of a hand-drawn or digitally drawn nature, so it helps if you have people for face claims ahead of art submissions, and you and your artist communicate regularly. You can also end up with art not featuring the OCs at all, just the canon characters, which is not necessarily a bad thing. Your other options are to bring in an artist you trust with your vision of your OC/make your own art (we do allow that, we just need to be told during the check-in before art that you’re bringing in your own artist if you go that route, or that you’re doing your own art…there will not be a need to sign up in the artist’s sign up, however) or to opt-out of art entirely. So there’s plenty of options to call on when it comes time for art. What are 'check-ins’? These are a way for us to see what you've been up to and for you to make sure you're still on track. It will give you a little nudge/reminder if you need it, but they are not compulsory. Basically a form is posted that you fill out with your user ID (unique for each fic) and a checkbox to let us know you’re still participating, plus a section for any notes for the mods.

How are the check in IDs used? They are solely for the mods organizational purposes. Each ID being for a separate story allows us to keep all the information you submit during check-ins and for snippets in one line on our spreadsheet. You don’t have to share your check in IDs with anyone else if you don’t want to.

How much progress should authors be making between each checkpoint? (Percentage-wise from our estimated total wc, I guess?) Ideally, with each check-in, you should be at least 25% closer to finishing. The end word count only really matters in that the fic needs to be at least 7,500 words when done, so it’s more your progress towards finishing that should be measured, not so much the word count.

What are the snippets requirements? In order to allow the artists to make art for the story they claimed, we require you to supply three snippets from your fic, between 500 – 1500 words each. The snippets will be sent to the artist after they have claimed your story. They're to help the artist match your story for artwork the best way he or she possibly can. It’s helpful to choose scenes or parts of scenes that you feel best represent your fic, but don’t feel like they have to be perfect to be submitted. Along with the snippets, we will send your artist the basic fic info and your email, so the two of you can collaborate more if you would both like.

What are the rough drafts requirements? For the rough drafts, stories should be at least 80% complete. You will not have to turn them in to us, just assure us that you are at that point. Anything less is at the discretion of the mods and those authors should speak to one of the mods asap.

What is, and do I need, a beta? A beta is basically a person who goes over your work to make sure that there are no spelling/grammatical errors and they can even be of assistance in helping you with story lines, etc. It is highly recommended that a beta looks over your work before posting. If you are having trouble finding a beta, try this post.

Where can I post my fic/art? Stories and art can be posted to your own personal journal, Tumblr, ff-net, AO3, or wherever you like. For those of you with AO3 accounts, we will set up a collection that will go live on the day of the posting. If you don’t currently have an AO3 account but would like one, you can contact the mods for an invitation code to see if they have any available. You can also add yourself to the AO3 Invites Request queue.

What does posting look like? Do we have to post the whole thing on the day, or can we stretch it out between when posting starts and our date? I’ve had a few longfics get killed by big bangs forcing posting to happen on a given day, and would prefer to avoid that if possible. For most fics, posting to AO3/FF.net/other places will be allowed to start in August and you can stretch it out as many posts as you want as long as the complete fic is up by your posting date (and posting dates go from August 8th to October 16th with two weeks for emergency posting). However, you can send us an ask/e-mail about posting as early as July if you have an extremely long fic/something with a long posting schedule. Mostly what we want is the fic to be completely up on the website of your choice by your posting date, and I know some people don’t want to overwhelm their readers. So we want to work with writers to give them ample time to post the story up to their posting date.

Now, as for posting to the communities, you get to choose which day your link to the story and bragging rights are posted, and as I said, we have a range of dates from August 8th to October 16th with two to three stories posting a day. If for some reason you miss your posting date, you have until October 31st to post to the community, during the two weeks of emergency posting. So hopefully there should be plenty of time to get a longfic up and posted to the website of your choice and our BB.

Will the three snippets per story we have to send in be the ones we want the artist to make art for? Or can it just be random snippets and then later the artist and I can check together to see which scenes would work best for art? So ideally, you and the artist will be communicating once you’re each sent each other’s contact information, and you’ll give your artist a chance to read all that you’ve written at that point. That’s what happens in most cases. If your fic gets picked by an artist and they don’t work with you, then the snippets you sent will be what the artwork will be based on. It’s a good idea to know that, while most of the time the artists work closely with the authors, there are a few exceptions to that.

How do I know when to post? Posting will be tiered; you'll each get your own posting date that you and your artist will decide on together. There will probably be three fics, plus art, posting per day between August 8th and October 31st. The post with date claims will go up on July 23rd and you'll have to choose your date by August 1st.

Posting of chapters on AO3 or your own blog (or wherever you usually post) generally starts August 1st, but you can post earlier (as early as July 1st) if you let us know you have a long story. However, posting has to be finished by your chosen posting date to the comm. One of the things we're hoping to do with the posted dates is to give everybody on the comm a little bragging time in the spotlight. You know, "this story was incomplete for this long, but I finished this sucker." If you don't have time to post your bragging rights to the communities on your chosen posting date, you can queue up a post ahead of time and we can post it on the date you picked or you can email us your bragging rights and we can post by proxy for you. Either way works for us. Art will be due on the chosen posting date to the comm.

What am I posting to the Dreamwidth/Tumblr community if I’m posting the fic elsewhere? You’ll be posting what we call bragging rights. It’s a small form you fill out and post to the community with a link to your fic (we’ll enable moderated posting to the Tumblr and Dreamwidth communities for members on August 8th). We will post a template for posting artwork and stories to the comm closer to the posting date.

Is there a minimum/maximum requirement for my art? There is no strict minimum, but we do ask artists to remember that the authors are writing a minimum of 7,500 words and your artwork should reflect that. You can do anything you like, including banners, wallpapers, icons, mixes, vids, gif sets, picspams, etc. Suggested guidelines for art are 500x500px (or equivalent of smaller pieces like banner + spacers, cover + icons, etc.) for traditional art, digital art, and manips; 2 minutes for vids; 10 songs + cover art for mixes; and 6 images for gif sets and picspams. We also ask that when you are in contact with the author, you work with them to see if there is anything specific they would like (i.e. a wallpaper, book cover, etc.). The art is your work, but having ideas doesn't hurt!

What are 'art claims'? The claims are when anonymous summaries of the story go up for artists to choose from. Artists sign-ups and art claims are the same thing; we use one form for both things, and that way the authors don’t have to sign up for an event they may not end up participating in. It is based on a 'first come, first served' basis and artists may choose up to three potential stories (in case their first choice is unavailable). If there are more stories than artists, there will be a second round of claims wherein artists may choose a second story to work with, and on and on until all stories are claimed for art.

If a fic up for claiming is rated explicit (R, NC-17, etc.), please only claim the story if you are over 18 years of age. Some authors may be uncomfortable working with underage artists on explicit works. We do not verify ages in any way for the bang, so this is solely on the honor system.

What do I do if I have problems or concerns about my author/artist? Sometimes authors and artists do not get along and this may cause problems with working together. If this happens to be the case with you, please email the mods and we will try to do what we can so that everyone has a chance to have fun at WIP Big Bang!

If you have not heard from your author/artist in some time after trying to contact them, you can reach out to us via email and we will try to get in touch with them for you.

Can I get an extension? Community extensions may be given in the event that the majority of the authors/artists need one. They may also be given individually under certain circumstances, but this must be discussed with the mods and will only be a short extension for posting. If you are certain that you won’t be able to finish your story in time, please let us know by June 13th.

Can I swap out a fic if my muse abandons it again? When you sign up, you give us the information on the potential fic(s) you want to write. If, say, one fic isn’t working but one you didn’t sign up for is, you can switch them out while letting the mods know if you need to change a user ID you used. It is absolutely okay to switch fics all the way up until snippets are due. By then, we hope you’ll have however many fics you plan on doing to at least 80% completion since rough drafts are due not much later. Just drop an email to the mods at wipbigbang@gmail.com with the new information (title, fandom, etc) and if you want a new sign in ID or plan to use the same one for the fic you’re replacing it with.

Can I drop out? We have high hopes that everybody who signs up can actually finish the round and share in the joy of the reveal with us, but real life can unfortunately get in the way and we completely understand! If you feel like you just cannot finish in time and no amount of assistance from us can help you, just let us know by July 13th (if at all possible).

Is it possible to be banned? We do have a banned users list. We hope to use this to encourage participants who are having issues to communicate with the mods. We want to help you! The way the ban works is that participants, either authors and artists, will be banned for dropping out without notifying a mod. This means that anyone who has not posted or talked to a mod by the time the posting period ends will be banned. Dropping out is not in and of itself a banning offense, so please do not panic if you have to drop out! We understand that there are many reasons you may need to drop, and we want to work with you.

Bans will last one round or until the issue is resolved, whichever comes first. To resolve a ban, authors will have to finish and post the story they signed up with and artists will have to finish and post the art for the story they claimed. Three bans will result in a permanent ban from the bang.

Are we allowed to participate without joining the Discord? Absolutely! The Discord server is optional, as just another way to interact with your fellow writers and get updates on important dates. It’s not mandatory you join, however.

I was just wondering if there’s any way to enter the bang anonymously? Like would it be okay to put our work in an anonymous collection on ao3 or something? Unfortunately, I can’t think of a way for that to work. The collection that we use is moderated but it’s not anonymous, and there are the bragging posts that you post on your posting day, which you would have your username on whichever platform you use.

I was just wondering whether I'm sworn to secrecy on which fics I'll be finishing up, or if I can shout it out to the world? No one is sworn to secrecy once they’ve signed up (aside from posting new parts to fic that’s already up somewhere…we ask that you refrain from doing that until at least July 1st)! We will be running Word Wars, where you can add more to a fic in a certain amount of time, and Whine Bars, where you can complain or ask for help or whatever else you feel like talking about when it comes to struggling with a fic, all after sign-ups end on a weekly basis, plus there’s the Discord server for chatting with your fellow authors and artists.

I have a question/concern that’s not mentioned here. If you need help, you can always contact a mod and we will do our best to make sure that you get your story/art finished. The best and fastest method of contact is through our email, wipbigbang@gmail.com.

WIP Wednesday

A very last minute, rushed post, but have some a/b/o for COD!

“Rodolfo?  Rodolfo?  Are you feeling okay, hermano?”  Soap asked, exchanging a quick look of concern with Ghost.  Rudy had been discussing with them the terrain surrounding the Los Vaqueros base when his voice trailed off, and then stopped completely as the younger man appeared to lose focus, staring across the safehouse seemingly at nothing.  

Rodolfo visibly startled as Soap took a step closer, and so he froze, slightly concerned for the man in front of him.  Perhaps he encountered an injury while escaping the Shadow Company as well?  Something that both he and Ghost overlooked as they started to plan to rescue Alejandro?  As Soap’s eyes tried to scan over the other soldier without being too obvious, a sweet blend of chocolate and cinnamon started to fill the air.

The look in Rodolfo’s eyes was now one of panic, and Soap hurriedly took another few steps back, ensuring that the table was back in-between the two of them.  He had sensed the bond between Alejandro and Rodolfo the moment he and Ghost got into the car with them after arriving in Las Almas, but he wasn’t aware that Rodolfo was an Omega.

[infectedkura]

@onlycodcanjudgeme 

little wip I started this morning, cause I couldn’t get Soap getting way to excited (and horny) over explosions and Ghost maaayyyyybe liking it a bit too much out of my head♥

Every demolition specialist Ghost had met in his military career had been a bit of a nutjob. The moment he had seen Soap around an explosion for the first time, he knew that guy was a very special breed. From the start of their briefings when Soap would be told to blow something up to the very end when flames would devour the skies, Ghost had started to watch him. How he would suck in a sharp breath when his skills would be mentioned and needed during a mission, to the constant twitching of his fingers. Soap would be nervous enough to almost infect Ghost with it. The first time this had happened, Ghost feared for the success of their mission but despite Soap skittish excitement he did an excellent job. Everything had been set up perfectly. Not too much, not too little. Perfect timing all around. a true master at his skill.

But then he had seen Soap face to face during an explosion. They were just on their way back to exfil, when Soap suddenly turned back around to watch the place go up in flames. Ghost wanted to push him to keep walking but the sheer look on Soap’s face had made him stop. The weird crooked grin that only grew wider with the flames in the distance. How Ghost could hear his trembling breath even a few steps away and few pearls of sweat running down his face and neck. The short laugh Soap had let out was ingrained in Ghost’s memory from that moment on. Dark, and chopped up by his breathing. The complete opposite to Soap's usual open and heartfelt laughter. He had just kept staring at the man, not being able to pry his eyes off Soap, just like Soap couldn’t turn away from the aftermath of the explosion. Only Price’s voice through their comms had gotten Ghost back to reality. He called out for Soap to leave but no answer was given. Soap had been completely transfixed and Ghost swore he saw the fire reflecting in his eyes even for just a moment. When he had reached out to grab Soap and force him to come with him, it was the first time in a very long while that Ghost had felt something like unease for his comrade. Soap’s eyes were completely dark and blown out when they stared back at Ghost. His mouth was hanging open slightly and Ghost swore to this day he saw blood on his lips where Soap had bit himself in excitement. This look on Soap’s face just felt unnatural. Ghost could still vividly remember how suddenly disarmed he felt even with his rifle still in hand. Like Soap could just crush him like a little twig. Without another word Soap’s face suddenly had relaxed slightly and they finally set into motion again, away from the destroyed base.

Origins - COD Supernatural AU

...AUTHOR’S NOTE... I love Call of Duty and Universal Monsters with a passion.  Coming up with an alternate universe with my man Captain John Price. Welcoming others to join in and making a supernatural origin for another COD character that, hopefully, we can as a group do something fun.  Let me know if you’re interested in this with which COD character (Any franchise is fine and any timeline origin is as well).  (MOOD BOARD pictures were edited by me and no watermarks were removed or covered from original source).  

... SNEAK PEEK ... 

It’s WW2 and a young Lieutenant J. Price is assigned to protect a research task team in the heart of the Egyptian desert far from the British base camp.  What should have been a quick trip to identify some Ancient Egyptian ruin for the enthused team turns out to make the current war look mundane.  One would say what will happen to Lt. Price during this time will change of the course of his life forever.
