do you have any roach fic recs... any ship, any plot, any length, i literally have no preferences other than /roach/ i need more roach centric fics in my life....
but first you should check out this post from @/boxofthings they have quite a few Roach centric fic recommendations. however it has been about six-ish months since then so I'll just add ones from recently
"you are a memory" by withyourrythm
"It takes 8 days of nursing an infected gunshot wound at his thigh, of trying to keep Roach breathing through the nights, before Ghost realizes that there is no help coming. Then, it’s time to move on."
"Roaching Around" by KDFoxbug
"Roach is captured by the enemy and becomes buggier"
"GhostRoach teehee :3" series by ghostroacharemybabies
Filled with a bunch of little stories I wrote of GhostRoach. Some sad, some happy. It’s just a mix of a bunch of emotions.
"Candy shop" by littlehorusaximand
roach is down bad for his lieutenant and his captain, and they accidentally find out.
"serendipity" by bravo six going queer (cornerdreams)
Roach gets back from a mission involving ice shelves, a compromising of his captain, and a harrowing snowmobile chase.
Ghost is just happy he came back home safe.
Both of them do a little reflecting.
"Just one kiss" by grechka_zhest
“Hey, L.T. ,” Roach muttered, licking the spoon and wincing right after at the taste of metal and canned meat, if it can even be called one, on his tongue.
"Hm?", the lieutenant’s voice was tired and quiet, like Roach's own. It's nothing new. The sergeant quickly licked his dry lips, covered in small cuts.
"Ever kissed before?", Sanderson asked with a grin in his voice. He himself doesn’t know whether this was supposed to be a joke or an insult. But behind the malicious grin there was a lively interest. Ghost chuckled, placing the now empty can on the ground, next to the sole of his boots.
"Memento Mori" by Anonymous
Roach got his callsign from being an unkillable insect with very little self preservation instinct.
Unfortunately the rest of the team can be a little like that too, to the detriment of each other.
"How (not) to ask someone to marry you" by kkyso
Gaz needed to find a quick way to propose to Roach, but all his ideas seemed to go wrong. Until Soap has the brilliant and absurd idea at the same time, Making Gaz rethink the whole plan.
"These Bones Are Broken" by fixfoxnox
Roach nearly loses someone and it results in a momentary break in his carefully constructed mask.
"Two sergeants, one lieutenant" by Roach_Simp
Gaz, Ghost, Price, Soap and Roach go on a mission to get intel, finds out the mission was a set up then Roach gets kidnapped and tortured before they find him and then Roach, Ghost and Soap cuddle before it turns into spice. :3
"Roach" by MorningGlory30
"I promise I'll come back in once piece."
After the death of his father, Gary "Roach" Sanderson thought that he should join the military just like his dad. He never really gave it much thought and as a seven year old, it never meant much to him. As he grew older, he came to like the idea of joining the military--of doing something better for his country than just being another rugby player.
He joined as soon as he graduated and had worked hard in the SAS to be picked for an elite group of soldiers. Serving under Captain John Price and Captain "Soap" MacTavish wasn't the easiest thing to do because of how high the expectations were but it was something that he could handle. Even in the toughest times, Roach knew he could make it out of any dangerous situation and keep the promise that he made to his older brother.
"Raindrops" by TheCalmCreature
Gary doesn't seem to be fine after a mission. Simon checks up on him.
written for the prompt: "[GhostRoach] Maybe they tend to each others injuries after a mission or they just need to make sure the other is ok? a happy/comfort ending”
"FNG... or something..." by KairaKara101
Gary knew those dreams were something strange yet it filled an empty part of his soul. There was something off about him. A bad luck charm perhaps? Gary really wished he knew why he was always the FNG. This time... being the FNG sucked.
But past (?) collides with present. Once an ODST always an ODST. And you know what those ODST always said? Are you prepared to drop? Feet first into hell, troopers.
"Thorns in my lungs, petals on my tongue" by MossTimeBaby
the Roach Hanahaki fic that I was desperate to read
"Roaches Can't Die" by pinboardscarecrow
Ghost and Roach are betrayed by General Shepard; shot and killed by their own leader. But moments later, Roach wakes up back in the forest outside Makarov's safe house. Can he change his and Ghost's fates?
"is it really better to have loved and lost?" by MossTimeBaby
When Ghost has to fake his death to go deep undercover, Roach is left behind to pick up the pieces of himself.
"Two Sides of The Same Coin" by Vityed
It was Gary's first Christmas with Task Force 141, seeing as he had only joined the team six months earlier. As such, he had no idea what to expect.
He just hoped it would be a good time to get to know everyone. Everything was perfect and ready. A Christmas tree decorated with tinsel, baubles and twinkling lights, and topped with a shining star, and plenty of alcohol to go around.
What could possibly go wrong?
"Dear to you" by vani_tas_talk
messy university roommates breakup AU, starts as Roach/Soap/Ghost, endgame Roach/König
"If We Crash (I Hope We Do)" by mintyiecat
Simon and Gary live, and fall into a steady sort of companionship. Gary starts wondering (dramatically) what they are exactly.
“How do you do that?” Simon scowls. “Swear to God it always jams.”
‘Magic fingers,’ Gary signs, and wiggles his.
