Before you post, think:

Is it groovy

Is it smashing, baby

Is it shagedelic

Does it give you mojo

Does it make others randy

hot artists don't gatekeep

I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

Simon who didn’t cry when Johnny died. His eyes never filled, never stung with tears. Simon who didn’t close off like they expected he would, Simon who seemingly didn’t change after it happened.

Simon who sat awake so many nights. Cold. Alone. Simon who instinctively went looking for Johnny just to spend hours in the gym beating his knuckles to bloody shreds to punish himself for being so stupid. Simon whos eyes still linger in spots Johnny used to frequent. Simon who wishes Johnny was there to patch up those knuckles and kiss them.

“Aye be more carful yee fuckin’ brute…”

Simon could still hear Johnny’s voice. Simon who still waits to hear Johnny’s jokes over the com on missions. Simon who could have sworn that shadow in the corner of his room looked like Johnny. Simon who cant close his eyes for months without hearing that gunshot.

Simon who never once cried.

It was only years and years later it hits him. Simon’s eyes had stopped looking. Dreams and shadows of Johnny MacTavish had long stopped. It hits him while he’s trying to sleep one night after a particularly rough mission. What color were his eyes? His hair… black… brown… brown right?

He couldn’t remember.

That’s when his eyes stung, hot tears filling to the brim and spilling over. How could he of forgotten? How was that possible? How could he betray Johnny like that? He couldn’t remember his smile anymore, he couldn’t hear his voice anymore, couldn’t feel lingering phantom touches anymore.

He couldn’t feel Johnny anymore.

The memory of someone he held so dearly once was fuzzy, blurry. Hardly there. Swallowed and eaten alive by time. How cruel.

Sad thought randomly hit me. Imagine Simon nearly meets the same fate Soap did. For months, he's in the hospital recovering. The only reason he lived is because he was only barely hit.

He heals, but he can’t return to service. He has trouble keeping track of things and his memory starts to go. So, he moves back to Manchester. He gets a dog who grows old with him. He finds some new friends and stays in touch with his friends from the military.

But as he gets older, around 65, his memory continues to worsen no matter how many puzzles or brain activities he does. Part of it is the injury but most of it is the fact he's getting older. It gets to the point where he can no longer remember if he's eaten or showered. Price or Gaz offer to help, but he declines since he knows they aren’t in the best shapes either.

For his own health, he goes into an assisted living apartment. He can do most things on his own, but needs to be reminded of what he has and hasn’t done. One of the staff has an accent exactly like Soap's.

And while the staff member has told him his name multiple times, Simon always calls him John. He knows it isn’t John. But the voice reminds him of him. He constantly asks him, "Are you good at art? My John was good at art."
