Ellie McRae has learned to hide her pain behind a smile. Working late nights at a Glasgow bar, she keeps her bruises covered and her secrets buried-until one night, a stranger in a mohawk and a charming grin walks in. Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish isn't the type to back down from a fight-or walk away from someone who needs saving. When he sees the fear in Ellie's eyes, he knows something isn't right. But getting through her stubborn walls proves harder than any mission he's faced. He offers her a way out. A new start. But joining Task Force 141 as their medic means stepping into a world of danger, discipline, and loyalty-a world where trust can save your life or break your heart. As Soap teaches Ellie how to fight back, both on and off the battlefield, he realizes the toughest mission of all isn't against the enemy-it's convincing her she's worth saving.

You're the rookie. The newbie. The fish. Earning your place in Task Force 141 is one thing, but earning the respect of your new Captain is another. Through weeks of training and observing missions from the sky, the Captain finally determines whether you're a solid fit for the team. But the actions following that one decision alter the course of all of your lives. For better or worse, that's still to be determined. - hi! this is from my ao3, 'saltwateranddesperation', they're both my accounts and are available on both platforms :) - my tumblr is 'polakina' too, which has a bunch of other stuff on it too :)

Thrown back into a world you swore you'd left behind, you find yourself fighting alongside Price and against the parts of yourself you thought you buried. Somewhere between the missions, the silence, and the scars, a love begins to take shape.

As the tension between them deepens, so does their connection - one born from shared danger and quiet moments of understanding. In a world where survival is everything, will they risk everything for a love that might just be the greatest battle of all?
