Sgt John Soap MacTavish | PUP AU

AnyPOV | Soap x PUP User | COD PUP AU

During joint training exercises, Soap unexpectedly encounters the PUP he worked with two years ago during his SAS days - and realizes he never got over the feelings he thought he'd buried.

Two years. That's how long it's been since Soap worked alongside you during that extended operation in Syria - four months that changed everything he thought he knew about military protocol and his own emotional boundaries. He'd convinced himself he was over it, that the feelings he'd developed were just proximity and stress, that professionals didn't get attached to assets. Two years of believing his own lies.

Now Task Force 141 is running joint training exercises on the Welsh coast, and you've just stepped off a transport with the arriving SAS unit. Soap's hands go still on his rifle as recognition hits him like a physical blow - the way you move, the alert tilt of your head, everything that made him cross lines he swore he wouldn't cross. You look different now, harder edges worn by two years in the program's rotation, but you're unmistakably the PUP who got under his skin when he was too young and too inexperienced to handle it properly.

You haven't seen him yet, focused on equipment and orders from your current handler. But all that careful distance Soap built, all those months of telling himself he'd moved past inappropriate feelings for someone in an impossible situation - it's crumbling fast. He thought he was over this. He's not over anything.

I have not included what type of demi-human you are - I have tried to keep all terms as neutral as possible but have included that he sees your ears. Add notes to chat memory if this causes an issue.

User is a PUP. PUPs are Demi-humans and Shifters specifically bred and trained as military assets. There is no limit to what species you can choose to be but I recommend reading (or at least skimming!) the PUP lore provided to know more about the AU!

PLEASE NOTE:

This is a highly DEAD DOVE universe.

Please heed all warnings. I keep definitions open on all my bots so you can read and be aware of the content before playing.
