Okayā¦hear me out, or not, whatevsā¦
I just knew (might be the last one) that there is a reboot for Queer as Folk??? I was mind-blown and watched the trailerā¦wellā¦it looked like a completely different show from the one 22 years ago. (fuck, Iām old) I donāt have particular feelings about it. The US QAF is my fav of all times! But the new one looks pretty awesome fro the trailer. Well, I digressā¦
Anyways the only thing in the trailer that reminded me of the old version (the US one) is that one of the two main lead characters loses his memory after a tragic incidentā¦and that put an idea in my head.
So here is an fic idea/outline about Ghoapā¦I donāt know if itās good or if Iām actually going to write it out. But here it isā¦
So, think about this one time, either it happened during a mission or during a time when they were out drinking in a pub after a mission, something happened, and Soap got attacked on the head and lost his memory.
One thing to add is that prier to this incident, Ghost and Soap had been in a relationship. Everything was perfect, they woke up in each otherās arms everyday and whatnot. Rainbow shone and unicorns ran, blah blah blah.
Okay back to Soap getting attacked. He had a severe concussion and lost his memory. The last thing he remembered was that he was about to go on a mission with the man he looked up to at the time, the Ghost, to Al Mazrah, and he was super pumped about it since itās their first mission together. (Cliche? Yes, of course.)
Everyone was a bit sad about him not remembering his relationship with Ghost, but they did not think of it too much since Soap got full recover soon (the manās got healing powers, okay?!) and nothingās gonna change. Even Price talked to Ghost like:āDonāt you worry, son. You two had it once, and youāll have it again.ā
Everyone thought theyād go back together in not time. However Ghost had a different idea.
And here is the thing about Ghost. Although being with Soap was the best thing that had ever happened to him. However there was a part of him that just could not believe that it would last. Because of his past traumas, there was part of him that would just always be prepared and even anticipate the worst. And also that part of him thought that he did not deserve Soap and that Soap deserved much better. Maybe because he was just too scared to lose him (because of him).
Anyways, Ghost somehow saw this an opportunity to give Soap a second chance to have something better than him. So even it killed him inside, like a thousand knives slashing, he told everyone not to mention their relationship to Soap and just let it be. Naturally people (Price, Gaz, Laswell) thought it was not be a good idea, Ghost just used āI donāt want to overwhelm him too soonā excuse. So in the end everyone agreed.
Then as everyone was playing along and not mentioning anything between the two, it sometimes became too hard for Ghost himself to stay away because heās just unconditionally drawn to Soap. And also some old habits just die hard. So from time to time, his touch would just linger a few seconds too long, or heād be too close to Soap, or cared too much about Soap during missions.
All of these made our poor Soap hella confused. Everything was super conflicting and he did not know what was going on. And despite everything, he eventually still fell for Ghost. Well, thatās actually incorrect because the sentiments, the longing and desire he had for Ghost had already been there even before Al Mazrah.
Okay, for the ending, Iām thinking maybe Soap got a call from Rudy checking in on his Spanish, Rudy asked him about how things were with Ghost. And maybe during there conversation he learnt more and more about their relationship that he had forgot. And I think the trigger for him to get the memory back would be this.
Soap: by the way, feel free to call me Johnny, Rudy. (After he lost memory Ghost tried his best not to call him that, except very occasionally heād be too carried away and let it slip).
Rudy: oh, what happened to ādonāt call me Johnny only Ghost can pull that offā?
And with a sting in his skull, gunshots ringing in the back of his head, Soap remembered everything.
And the story ends with Soap finding Ghost, pushing him in the face, and them kissing passionately.
Soā¦basically itās a mix of The Vow and the beginning of the US QAF season 2???
Itās badā¦itās badā¦I knowā¦
Butā¦I mightā¦fill in the blanks and write it out??? I donāt knowā¦I donāt knowā¦.
Whateverā¦here is the basic outline. If I get around to it, Iāll post the link to AO3 in the reblog.
Thank you for reading my braindump. Have a great day!
