Hi

First off, thank you for checking out my very first Call of Duty fanfiction: Under Siege!

Whether you're here for the thrilling action, the slow-burn romance, or because you just can't resist John Price and his glorious beard (honestly, who could?), I'm excited to have you on this journey with me.

Before we begin, I need to set the record straight about a few things.

If you're a fan of the Modern Warfare reboot, you might notice some... adjustments to the timeline. Specifically, this story takes place in 2024, following the events of Modern Warfare 3 (2023) which Callsign-Denmark and I have decided to modify since we both didn't like how this campaign (story mode) went. (Btw, we're collaborating in this Modern Warfare reboot universe).

Now, let's talk about the elephant in the room: Soap MacTavish's untimely and tragic demise in the original Modern Warfare timeline.

Let me be blunt—when I watched that mission (on Youtube - I haven't played the game yet but I bought the trilogy, so don't judge me), I felt personally attacked.

Like, why would the developers do this to Soap?

I got to know Soap and the other soldiers enough to love them already.

So, again, why?

The man is a legend, a walking ball of Scottish cinnamon roll hero, and they just had to throw him under the narrative bus for drama? Nope. Not on my watch.

I remember sitting there, staring at the screen like, "NO! You freaking psycho-" because I watched the original Modern Warfare (in 2007 version) and Soap died by the same antagonist, Valdimir Makarov, like what the heck man?! And my heart broke into a thousand little pieces.

Any ho, when it came time to write this fanfiction, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

In Under Siege, Soap is very much alive and kicking.

Makarov might have gotten away (for now), but Soap? He's sticking around and being the lovable and awesome soldier we all know.

This alternate universe exists because I couldn't bear to let him go—and, if I'm being honest, because the writers at Infinity Ward clearly underestimated my ability to hold a grudge. So here we are. A new timeline, a fresh start, and a whole lot of action, suspense, and steamy moments to enjoy.

Plus, he's dating the female OC—a 141 pilot owned and made by the author I am collaborating with. And he has a total twin to Gabrielle Marisol Knocks, OC female belong to Callsign-Denmark (and they're not blood related, just so you know).

Moving on, Makarov should be counting his blessings every single day that he managed to escape from being killed by Task Force 141. For now.

I hope you love this story as much as I've loved writing it. Let's do right by our favorite Scotsman and give him the adventures (and the survival rate) he deserves.

With love,

AJ

P.S. If you're as emotionally scarred as I am by Soap's death in the original timeline, just know this: in our universe, he's safe, sound, and snarky. You're welcome. 😉

P.P.S. John did not kill General Shepherd. We have another 'way' to get Shepherd taken down. I'll have to figure that plot out along the way (with a help of Callsign-Denmark )

P.P.P.S. I've made Call of Duty - Modern Warfare: Under Siege playlist. Check it out from the comment and listen to it whenever you want too!

P.P.P.P.S - If you see one of these icons like these: 🌶️ (spicy), 💕(fluff), ❤️‍🔥(tease) 💋(makeout) &  🛑 (danger zone) next to a chapter title. Y'all will know as a discretion.

⚠️WARNING⚠️: This story is packed with steamy slow-burn romance, edge-of-your-seat violence, and plenty of 🤬 (thanks to John, Ghost, Gaz, OC Females - mostly Gabby and Cam, and Soap's colorful vocab). Oh, and maybe a few 👀 moments you won't forget.

✨NOTE✨: This is the Under series as it is non-canon and I own nothing as it belongs to the original creators; This story follows after the events of Modern Warfare reboot timelines and Chords of Courage (from another collab fanfic author of COD).
