Summary
Simon “Ghost” Riley remembers dying
The bullet from Shepherd. The fire. The agony. The soul deep grief of failing Roach.And then… a crib? A onesie?? A rattle???
What.
Or, in which ten elite special ops soldiers die, but wind up waking up as babies with the memories of their previous lives intact. And what the hell do you mean magic is real??
Or, in which:
- Puberty, Round Two: Electric Boogaloo
- A generous interpretation of “school rules”
- The Hogwarts staff reevaluating their careers, their life decisions, and whether mass resignation is a valid magical defense.
- The author wondering what Harry Potter would look like if it had anyone with an ounce of common senseFeaturing tactical cuddle piles, wand enhanced violence, emotional damage, weaponized childhood trauma, strategic snacks, and a Divination room that’s been converted into a legally gray war bunker.
Aka the Call of Duty/Harry Potter crossover crackfic nobody asked for but the author had fun writing anyway.
