In a world where soulmates are bound by fate, Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish never put much stock in destiny, until he met dr. Iris Vaughn. Sharp-witted, guarded, and stubbornly independent, she's everything he didn't expect. And yet, from the moment they met, something in his soul recognized her.

But Iris doesn't believe in soulmates. Not for herself. She's spent a lifetime patching up soldiers, watching fate take them away one by one. Letting someone in, especially someone like Johnny, is a risk she's not willing to take.

Yet fate is relentless. Battle after battle, mission after mission, their paths keep crossing. Every glance, every touch, every unspoken word between them pulls them closer, no matter how hard she fights it. But Johnny doesn't fight fate, he embraces it. And he'll prove to her, no matter how long it takes, that soulmates aren't just written in the stars.

They're chosen.

And he chooses her.

ENG - Waffles and Betrayals - Simon "Ghost" Riley x OC (Call Of Duty) by hastoriawinter
54 parts Ongoing Mature
You don't need to have played Call of Duty to read this story. ❀❀❀ Lenora has spent her whole life searching for a compass - a fixed point in the chaos of a life that's always been too complicated. For years, that North was Johnny MacTavish, her best friend, the boy she grew up with. But Johnny is also her greatest pain, a vortex of lies, obsession, and anger that left her alone while he lost himself. Lenora loves him with a silent, feral devotion, but that love is as fragile as a thread, ready to snap with the slightest breeze. When Johnny promises to finally talk about their future, Lenora meets him at a club. That's where she crosses paths with Simon Riley - a man scarred by an unspeakable past and numbed by a carefully controlled life. He's heard of Lenora before, but only through Johnny's twisted, bitter lens. He approaches her already convinced he'll hate her. But something about that girl knocks him off balance: unpredictable, tender, a liar, fragile - and it feels like she brings him back to life. Between Simon and Lenora, a bond forms. A secret neither of them is allowed to have. Two broken worlds, drawn to each other but terrified of what would happen if they collided - convinced there could never be a future between them. Yet the more they hide, the more the truth builds like a ticking bomb, a secret threatening to ruin them both. Simon has always believed he could control everything from behind a mask. But Lenora barges in without asking, rattles his walls, and forces him to see the truth: that he's not a dead man walking, but a shattered soul who doesn't have to keep hiding. And only she holds the key - the one shot he has at redemption. This is a sad story, built from fragile loves, obsessions, and wounds that never heal. Raw, melancholic, and painfully realistic - with flashes of sweetness, dark humor, and desperation. Because sometimes, to save yourself, you have to learn to lose yourself first.
