A brilliant but guarded 22-year-old operative codenamed Shadow joins Task Force 141 to hunt Vladimir Makarov. Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley instantly distrusts her. Too young, too confident, too much of a wildcard who somehow outranks him. What begins as icy hostility and sharp clashes slowly ignites into something far more dangerous: raw attraction neither can ignore. Tense training sessions, charged rooftop encounters, and stolen moments push them closer-until the mission goes catastrophically wrong. Makarov doesn't just want the 141 eliminated. He wants his "little shadow" back-the child he stole, shaped, and broke years ago. Captured and tortured, Shadow is rescued, but the damage is done. Trust shatters. Secrets spill. Ghost, haunted by what he's learned and what he almost lost, becomes fiercely protective. In the end, it's Shadow who faces her past head-on. With Ghost at her side, she reclaims her freedom-and perhaps something more. A dark, slow-burn military romance of distrust turning to obsession, trauma, revenge, and fragile healing within the 141. Content warnings: graphic violence, torture, rape/non-con backstory (off-page but explicitly discussed), childhood SA/trauma, PTSD, dissociation, consensual rough sex, power dynamics, blood, knife play (in sexy and violent contexts)

Stranded on a snowy mountain road and at risk of freezing to death, Ghost is rescued by an unexpected and unlikely, good Samaritan. Trapped with a stranger, in a snowstorm, with no contact with the outside world, Ghost realises he must overcome his fear of vulnerability and deep rooted stubbornness, and accept help. He never would have imagined that backing down and swallowing his pride, could open so many doors. This storyline originated from Ghost and Roach being left for dead after being betrayed. It changed and morphed into this one after the remastered Modern Warfare, brought a new life to the character of Ghost. If I have time, I may repost with the original backstory.

A slow-burn Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II story - told through your eyes. Book 1 and 2 combined You weren't supposed to survive that sniper's bullet. You weren't supposed to matter to him. But Ghost saved you anyway. Now, thrown together on a mission where you must pose as husband and wife, the lines between orders and desire blur. Behind the mask is a man you should never love-cold, broken, dangerous. And just when you think you can trust him... the real enemy is already watching. Finished November 2025 Cover made by @Felicity14445

A short story collection of the cod characters ;) Recommendations are welcome !!

In a quiet apartment building, two neighbours lead seemingly different lives. One is a reserved lieutenant, shrouded in mystery and burdened by his past, while the other is you, a curious woman navigating the ups and downs of daily life. Though your interactions are sparse, with fleeting glances and near-missed opportunities for connection, you wondered if there was more to the man you called your neighbour. The days unfold and the distance between you both blurs, hinting at the potential for something deeper amidst the silence of your shared walls. (Afab reader) Much-needed note: When I say slowburn, I mean it. It's SLOWburn. If there was smut in this, I would have put a mature tag, but there is not, so don't read this just because you wanna read people smash. Began: 22-09-2024 Finished: 25-12-2024

"You seem smitten by him, Lieutenant (y/n)." "Who wouldn't be, Sergeant Soap..." Simon Riley is a merciless, cold blooded killer who shows no remorse for his victims or the people in his life. But will his heart soften for y/n? (Ghost x Reader Fanfic) (This is Rated R to the max, so don't read if you're a child.) (This is a slow burn romance :) the way we all like it.)

After years of staying from apartment to apartment during his breaks from deployment, Simon finally decides to settle down. He purchases a house in a small town and, one day, walks into the cafe where you work. Initially drawn by your exceptional tea-making skills, he finds himself coming back every day. Although his excuse is the tea, deep down, Simon begins to feel a shift, a feeling he hasn't experienced in years - love. This fic is very much soft simon. A slow burn and Very fluffy!

You never thought you'd be more than just a Artillery and Missiles Officer, you never thought you actually go out into the field in the midst of war. That all happened in the matter of a seconds. Suddenly you're apart of Task force 141 searching for a shipment of highly dangerous missiles that never arrived to their destination. What could go wrong? |I do not own any of the MW Characters, nor do I own you lol but the story I have created, I take full ownership of that!|

Ghost Fanfic simon riley ---- what 24 year old psychiatrist, Katrina Williams, believed to be her darkest nightmare, as it would be anyones, is relieved with what may be a tiny bit of light.
